11937 "(behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it :
behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Isrealites that are
consumed :) and let us send and see. They took therefore two chariot horses ; and
the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see. 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. � And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So
a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a
shekel, according to the word of the Lord. And the king appointed the lord 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. 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 : and that lord answered
the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven,
might such a thing be ? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but
shalt not eat thereof. And so it fell out unto him : for the people trode upon him
in the gate, and he died. "
34953 "(For all the Athenians, and strangers which were there, spent their time in
nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.) � Then Paul stood in
the midst of Mars� hill [or, the court of the Areopagites], and said, Ye men of
Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by,
and beheld your devotions [or, gods that ye worship], I found an altar with this
inscription, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare
I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord
of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands ; neither is
worshipped with men�s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all
life, and breath, and all things ; and hath made of one blood all nations of men
for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before
appointed, and the bounds of their habitation ; that they should seek the Lord, if
haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one
of us : for in him we live, and move, and have our being ; as certain also of your
own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the
offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or
silver, or stone, graven by art and man�s device. And the times of this ignorance
God winked at ; but now commandeth all men every where to repent : because he hath
appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man
whom he hath ordained ; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he
hath raised him from the dead. � And when they heard of the resurrection of the
dead, some mocked : and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. So
Paul departed from among them. "
32064 "(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For
oftentimes it had caught him : and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters ;
and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) And Jesus
asked him, saying, What is thy name ? And he said, Legion : because many devils
were entered into him. And they besought him that he would not command them to go
out into the deep. And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain
: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he
suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine :
and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. �
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the
city and in the country. Then they went out to see what was done ; and came to
Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet
of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind : and they were afraid. They also which
saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. Then
the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to
depart from them ; for they were taken with great fear : and he went up into the
ship, and returned back again. Now the man, out of whom the devils were departed,
besought him that he might be with him : but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to
thine own house, and show how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his
way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto
him. "
36634 "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of
salvation have I succored thee : Behold, now is the accepted time ; behold, now is
the day of salvation.) Giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not
blamed : but in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much
patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in
imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings ; by pureness, by
knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, by
the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right
hand and on the left, by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report : as
deceivers, and yet true ; as unknown, and yet well known ; as dying, and, behold,
we live ; as chastened, and not killed ; as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing ; as
poor, yet making many rich ; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. � O
ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. Ye are not
straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. Now for a recompense in
the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. "
35757 "(for the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil,
that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him
that calleth ;) it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is
written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. � What shall we say then ? Is
there unrighteousness with God ? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have
mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of
God that showeth mercy. For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same
purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name
might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he
will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. � Thou wilt say then unto me, Why
doth he yet find fault ? For who hath resisted his will ? Nay but, O man, who art
thou that repliest against God ? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,
Why hast thou made me thus ? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same
lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor ? What if God,
willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long-
suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction : and that he might make known
the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto
glory, even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles
? As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people ;
"
8522 "(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up
to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness ?
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came
into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. And the men
of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and
thought to have slain me : and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead. 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. Behold, ye are all children of Israel ; give here your advice and counsel.
� And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his
tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house. But now this shall be the
thing which we will do to Gibeah ; we will go up by lot against it ; and we will
take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a
thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victuals 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. So all the men of Israel were gathered against
the city, knit together as one man. � And the tribes of Israel sent men through all
the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you ? Now
therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we
may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin
would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel : but the
children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to
go out to battle against the children of Israel. "
33912 "� A little while, and ye shall not see me : and again, a little while, and
ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. Then said some of his disciples among
themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not
see me : and again, a little while, and ye shall see me : and, Because I go to the
Father ? They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while ? we
cannot tell what he saith. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and
said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and
ye shall not see me : and again, a little while, and ye shall see me ? Verily,
verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall
rejoice ; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A
woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come : but as soon as
she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a
man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow : but I will see you
again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in
that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye
shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked
nothing in my name : ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. "
29144 "� A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master : if then I be a
father, where is mine honor ? 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 ? 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. And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil ? and if ye
offer the lame and sick, is it not evil ? offer it now unto thy governor ; will he
be pleased with thee, or accept thy person ? saith the Lord of hosts. "
38654 "� According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory
and virtue : whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises ; that
by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption
that is in the world through lust. And besides this, giving all diligence, add to
your faith virtue ; and to virtue, knowledge ; and to knowledge, temperance ; and
to temperance, patience ; and to patience, godliness ; and to godliness, brotherly
kindness ; and to brotherly kindness, charity. For if these things be in you, and
abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and
cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election
sure : for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall : "
14782 "� After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt
came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates : and Josiah went out against him.
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 : for God commanded me to make haste : forbear thee from meddling with God, who
is with me, that he destroy thee not. 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 Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of
Megiddo. And the archers shot at king Josiah ; and the king said to his servants,
Have me away ; for I am sore wounded. His servants therefore took him out of that
chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had ; and they brought him to
Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And
all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah : and
all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to
this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel : and, behold, they are written in
the lamentations. Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according
to that which was written in the law of the Lord, "
31541 � After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked,
and went into the country. And they went and told it unto the residue : neither
believed they them.
33202 "� After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea ;
and there he tarried with them, and baptized. And John also was baptizing in Aenon
near to Salim, because there was much water there : and they came, and were
baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison. � Then there arose a question
between some of John�s disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came unto
John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou
barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. John answered
and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye
yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent
before him. 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. He must increase, but I
must decrease. "
35031 "� 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. So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered
unto him, Timothy and Erastus ; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. "
39132 "� After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could
number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the
throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands ;
and cried with a loud voice, saying, "
31543 "� Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided
them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them
which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved ; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall
follow them that believe ; In my name shall they cast out devils ; they shall speak
with new tongues ; they shall take up serpents ; and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them ; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover. "
33117 "� Again the next day after, John stood, and two of his disciples ; and
looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God ! And the two
disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and saw them
following, and saith unto them, What seek ye ? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is
to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou ? He saith unto them, Come
and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day : for it was
about the tenth hour. One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was
Andrew, Simon Peter�s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith
unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ [the
anointed]. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou
art Simon the son of Jona : thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by
interpretation, A stone [or, Peter]. "
26597 � Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
25979 "� Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, thy brethren,
even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are
they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the Lord :
unto us is this land given in possession. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God ;
Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered
them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the
countries where they shall come. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God ; I will
even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye
have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. And they shall come
thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the
abominations thereof from thence. 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 a heart of flesh : 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.
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and
their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the
Lord God. � Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them ;
and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 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. Afterward the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision
by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I
had seen went up from me. "
29841 � Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchantman, seeking goodly
pearls : who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he
had, and bought it.
29843 � Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the
sea, and gathered of every kind : which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and
sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be
at the end of the world : the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from
among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire : there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.
29827 "� Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field ; the
which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all
that he hath, and buyeth that field. "
29387 "� Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou
shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths : but I
say unto you, Swear not at all ; neither by heaven ; for it is God�s throne : nor
by the earth ; for it is his footstool : neither by Jerusalem ; for it is the city
of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea ; Nay, nay :
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. "
11680 � Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the
seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and
in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
Israel to sin : for he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the
Lord God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
3554 "� All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto
you. Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four,
which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth ; even these of
them ye may eat ; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind,
and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. But all other
flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. �
And for these ye shall be unclean : whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be
unclean until the even. And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall
wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. The carcasses of every beast which
divideth the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto
you : every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. And whatsoever goeth upon his
paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you :
whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even. And he that beareth
the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even : they
are unclean unto you. � These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping
things that creep upon the earth ; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise
after his kind, and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail,
and the mole. These are unclean to you among all that creep : whosoever doth touch
them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. 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, wherein any
work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even ;
so it shall be cleansed. "
37424 "� All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother,
and a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord : whom I have sent unto you
for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts ;
with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make
known unto you all things which are done here. � Aristarchus my fellow prisoner
saluteth you, and Mark, sister�s son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received
commandments : if he come unto you, receive him ;) and Jesus, which is called
Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow workers unto the
kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. Epaphras, who is one of you, a
servant of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that
ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. For I bear him record,
that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in

6331 � All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt
sanctify unto the Lord thy God : thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy
bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep. Thou shalt eat it before the Lord
thy God year by year in the place which the Lord shall choose, thou and thy
household. And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have
any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt eat
it within thy gates : the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the
roebuck, and as the hart.
3115 "� All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy
place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven
hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. And the silver of
them that were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand
seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary
: a bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary,
for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six
hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men. And of the
hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets
of the veil ; a hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. And
of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the
pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them. And the brass of the
offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. "
1644 "� 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. 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, in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in
the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a
possession of a buryingplace. There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife ; there
they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife ; and there I buried Leah. The purchase of
the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth. And when
Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed,
and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people. "
29823 "� All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables ; and without
a parable spake he not unto them : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables ; I will utter things which
have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. "
36266 "� All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient : all
things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but
every man another�s wealth. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no
question for conscience� sake : for the earth is the Lord�s, and the fulness
thereof. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to
go ; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience� sake.
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for
his sake that showed it, and for conscience� sake : for the earth is the Lord�s,
and the fulness thereof : conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other : for
why is my liberty judged of another man�s conscience ? For if I by grace be a
partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks ? � Whether
therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give
none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God :
even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit
of many, that they may be saved. "
36139 "� All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient : all
things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Meats
for the belly, and the belly for meats : but God shall destroy both it and them.
Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord ; and the Lord for the body.
And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ ? shall I then take the
members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot ? God forbid. What ! know
ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body ? for two, saith he, shall
be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication.
Every sin that a man doeth is without the body ; but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own body. What ! know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own ? For
ye are bought with a price : therefore glorify God in your body, and in your
spirit, which are God�s. "
21740 "� All things have I seen in the days of my vanity : there is a just man that
perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life
in his wickedness. Be not righteous over much, neither make thyself over wise : why
shouldest thou destroy thyself ? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish :
why shouldest thou die before thy time ? It is good that thou shouldest take hold
of this ; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand : for he that feareth God
shall come forth of them all. � Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty
men which are in the city. � For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth
good, and sinneth not. � Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken ; lest
thou hear thy servant curse thee : for oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that
thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. � All this have I proved by wisdom : I
said, I will be wise ; but it was far from me. That which is far off, and exceeding
deep, who can find it out ? I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to
seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly,
even of foolishness and madness : and I find more bitter than death 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. Behold, this have I found,
saith the Preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account ; which yet my
soul seeketh, but I find not : one man among a thousand have I found ; but a woman
among all those have I not found. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made
man upright ; but they have sought out many inventions. "
4463 � All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the
chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their
fathers, from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that
came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the
tabernacle of the congregation, even those that were numbered of them, were eight
thousand and five hundred and fourscore. According to the commandment of the Lord
they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and
according to his burden : thus were they numbered of him, as the Lord commanded
Moses.
13790 "� 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. And he made
chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars ; and made a
hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. And he reared 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 [he shall establish], and the name of
that on the left Boaz [in it is strength]. "
32331 � Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the
Son of man also confess before the angels of God : but he that denieth me before
men shall be denied before the angels of God. And whosoever shall speak a word
against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him : but unto him that blasphemeth
against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. And when they bring you unto the
synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing
ye shall answer, or what ye shall say : for the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the
same hour what ye ought to say.
14168 "� Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Ben-
hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach
in the cities of Judah. And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and
Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah,
and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites ; and with them Elishama and Jehoram,
priests. And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the Lord with
them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people. �
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. Also some of the
Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver ; and the Arabians
brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and
seven hundred he goats. And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly ; and he built in
Judah castles, and cities of store. And he had much business in the cities of Judah
: and the men of war, mighty men of valor, were in Jerusalem. And these are the
numbers of them according to the house of their fathers : Of Judah, the captains of
thousands ; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred
thousand. And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and
fourscore thousand. And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly
offered himself unto the Lord ; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of
valor. And of Benjamin ; Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him armed men with
bow and shield two hundred thousand. And next him was Jehozabad, and with him a
hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war. These waited on the
king, besides those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah. "
26465 "� Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 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. Forbear to cry, make no mourning
for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy
feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. 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. � And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these
things are to us, that thou doest so ? Then I answered them, The word of the Lord
came unto me, saying, "
12505 "� 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. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his
father Manasseh did. And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and
served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them : and he forsook the
Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord. And the servants of
Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house. And the people of
the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon ; and the people of the
land made Josiah his son king in his stead. 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 ?
And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza : and Josiah his son
reigned in his stead. "
14702 "� Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two
years in Jerusalem. But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did
Manasseh his father : for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh
his father had made, and served them ; and humbled not himself before the Lord, as
Manasseh his father had humbled himself ; but Amon trespassed more and more. And
his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. 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. "
35001 "� And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and
mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of
the Lord ; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the
things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly
in the synagogue : whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto
them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. And when he was
disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to
receive him : who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through
grace : for he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the
Scriptures that Jesus was Christ. "
32674 � And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life ? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good ? none is
good, save one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit
adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father
and thy mother. And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. Now when
Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing : sell all
that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven : and come, follow me. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful : for
he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! For it is easier
for a camel to go through a needle�s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of God. And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved ? And he said,
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Then Peter said,
Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto
you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or
children, for the kingdom of God�s sake, who shall not receive manifold more in
this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim. 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. But the servants of David
had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner�s men, so that three hundred and threescore
men died. And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father,
which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to
Hebron at break of day.

Esau ; Eliphaz, Reuel, and Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. "
10176 "� And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with
thee ? but hold now thy peace, my sister : he is thy brother ; regard not this
thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom�s house. But when king
David heard of all these things, he was very wroth. And Absalom spake unto his
brother Amnon neither good nor bad : for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced
his sister Tamar. � And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had
sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim : and Absalom invited all the
king�s sons. And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath
sheepshearers ; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be
chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him : howbeit he would not go, but blessed
him. 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 ? But Absalom pressed him, that
he let Amnon and all the king�s sons go with him. Now Absalom had 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. "
10735 "� And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon.
And she said, Comest thou peaceably ? And he said, Peaceably. He said moreover, I
have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on. 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. And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she
said unto him, Say on. 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. And
Bath-sheba said, Well ; I will speak for thee unto the king. � 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 seat
to be set for the king�s mother ; and she sat on his right hand. Then she said, I
desire one small petition of thee ; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said
unto her, Ask on, my mother ; for I will not say thee nay. And she said, Let
Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. And king Solomon
answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for
Adonijah ? ask for him "

sitting at the receipt of custom : and he said unto him, Follow me. And he left
all, rose up, and followed him. � And Levi made him a great feast in his own
house : and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with
them. But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why
do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners ? And Jesus answering said unto
them, They that are whole need not a physician ; but they that are sick. I came not
to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. "

when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia : and thence
sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for

35429 "� And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had
wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. And landing at Syracuse, we
tarried there three days. And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium
: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli :
where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days : and so we
went toward Rome. And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet
us as far as Appii Forum, and the Three Taverns ; whom when Paul saw, he thanked
God, and took courage. And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the
prisoners to the captain of the guard : but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself

fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue ; and looking up to
heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And
straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he
spake plain. 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 ; and were beyond
measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well : he maketh both the deaf
to hear, and the dumb to speak. "

sore afraid. 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. 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 ? And the people answered him
after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. � And
Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men ; and Eliab�s anger was
kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither ? 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. And David said, What have I now done ? Is there not a cause ? And he turned
from him toward another, and spake after the same manner : and the people answered
him again after the former manner. � And when the words were heard which David
spake, they rehearsed them before Saul : and he sent for him. And David said to
Saul, Let no man�s heart fail because of him ; thy servant will go and fight with
this Philistine. 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. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father�s sheep, and there
came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock : and 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. "
2370 � And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise
of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking : and when the people saw it, they
removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we
will hear : but let not God speak with us, lest we die. And Moses said unto the
people, Fear not : for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before
your faces, that ye sin not. � And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near
unto the thick darkness where God was. And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou
shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you
from heaven. Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto
you gods of gold. 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 all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone :
for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt thou go
up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
12661 "� And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler. And when all the captains of the armies, they

of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son
of a Maachathite, they and their men. And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men,
and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees : dwell in the
land, and serve the king of Babylon ; and it shall be well with you. But it came
to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of
Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that
he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah. "
32298 "� And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him : and he
went in, and sat down to meat. And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he
had not first washed before dinner. And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees
make clean the outside of the cup and the platter ; but your inward part is full of
ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did not he, that made that which is without,
make that which is within also ? But rather give alms of such things as ye have ;
and, behold, all things are clean unto you. � But woe unto you, Pharisees ! for ye
tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of
God : these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Woe unto you,
Pharisees ! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the
markets. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye are as graves
which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. � Then
answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou
reproachest us also. And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers ! for ye lade men
with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one
of your fingers. "
35349 "� And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul,
thou art beside thyself ; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not
mad, most noble Festus ; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. For the
king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely : for I am persuaded
that none of these things are hidden from him ; for this thing was not done in a
corner. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets ? I know that thou believest.
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. And Paul
said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were
both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. � And when he had
thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat
with them : "
29561 � And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting
at the receipt of custom : and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and
followed him.
35144 � And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain,
May I speak unto thee ? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek ?
31457 "� And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of
the high priest : and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and
said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. But he denied, saying, I know not,
neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch ; and the
cock crew. And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This
is one of them. And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said
again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them : for thou art a Galilean, and thy
speech agreeth thereto. But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this
man of whom ye speak. And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind
the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me
thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept. "
32822 "� And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and
gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the
which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown
down. And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be ? and what
sign will there be when these things shall come to pass ? And he said, Take heed
that ye be not deceived : for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and
the time draweth near : go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of
wars and commotions, be not terrified : for these things must first come to pass ;
but the end is not by and by. � Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom : and great earthquakes shall be in divers
places, and famines, and pestilences ; and fearful sights and great signs shall
there be from heaven. "
32942 � And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests
and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, Art thou the
Christ ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe : and
if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. Hereafter shall the Son of
man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
34261 � And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people
ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon�s, greatly wondering.
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye
at this ? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness
we had made this man to walk ?
30572 � And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name : him they
compelled to bear his cross.
30158 � And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
32706 � And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he
was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should
immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants,
and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his
citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man
to reign over us.
32989 "� And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian,
coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it
after Jesus. And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which
also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of
Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For,
behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren,
and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they
begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us ; and to the hills, Cover us. For if
they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry ? � And there
were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. And when they
were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the
malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus,
Father, forgive them ; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment,
and cast lots. And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them
derided him, saying, He saved others ; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the
chosen of God. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him
vinegar, and saying, If thou be the King of the Jews, save thyself. And a
superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and
Hebrew, This is the king of the jews. � And one of the malefactors which were
hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other
answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same
condemnation ? "
33056 "� And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and
saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and
supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled ?
and why do thoughts arise in your hearts ? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is
I myself : handle me, and see ; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me
have. And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while
they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any
meat ? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb. And he took
it, and did eat before them. � And he said unto them, These are the words which I
spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, "
30694 "� And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were
diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered
together at the door. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and
cast out many devils ; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
"
34485 "� And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which
was at Jerusalem ; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of
Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. And devout men carried Stephen to his
burial, and made great lamentation over him. As for Saul, he made havoc of the
church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to
prison. "
15536 "� And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures,
for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out
of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites :
for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited. And both the
singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the
purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son. For in
the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of
praise and thanksgiving unto God. And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in
the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day
his portion : and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites ; and the Levites
sanctified them unto the children of Aaron. "
15512 "� 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. And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of
the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi ; also
from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth : for the
singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem. And the priests and the
Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
"
14379 "� And at the king�s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the
gate of the house of the Lord. And they made a proclamation through Judah and
Jerusalem, to bring in to the Lord the collection that Moses the servant of God
laid upon Israel in the wilderness. And all the princes and all the people
rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end. Now
it came to pass, 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 high priest�s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and
carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in
abundance. And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service
of the house of the Lord, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of
the Lord, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the Lord. So
the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of
God in his state, and strengthened it. And when they had finished it, 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. � But Jehoiada waxed old, and was
full of days when he died ; a hundred and thirty years old was he when he died. And
they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in
Israel, both toward God, and toward his house. � Now after the death of Jehoiada
came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened
unto them. And they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served
groves and idols : and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
"
5176 � And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the
princes of Moab. And God�s anger was kindled because he went : and the angel of the
Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass,
and his two servants were with him. And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing
in the way, and 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.
But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this
side, and a wall on that side. And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she
thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam�s foot against the wall : and he
smote her again. 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. And when
the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam : and Balaam�s anger
was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 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 ? And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast
mocked me : I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
5273 � And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place : and Balak also
went his way.
5249 "� 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. Therefore now flee
thou to thy place : I thought to promote thee unto great honor ; but, lo, the Lord
hath kept thee back from honor. And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy
messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, If Balak would give me his house
full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do
either good or bad of mine own mind ; but what the Lord saith, that will I speak ?
"
15437 "� And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it ; and our
princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it. "
31374 "� And being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat,
there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious ;
and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. And there were some that had
indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made ?
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given
to the poor. And they murmured against her. And Jesus said, Let her alone ; why
trouble ye her ? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you
always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good : but me ye have not always. She
hath done what she could : she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the
whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
"
34308 "� And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that
the chief priests and elders had said unto them. And when they heard that, they
lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which
hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is ; who by the
mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people
imagine vain things ? "
34342 "� 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. "
13103 "� And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus ; where the
Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. And the inhabitants of Jebus said to
David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion,
which is the city of David. And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first
shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was
chief. And David dwelt in the castle ; therefore they called it the city of David.
And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about : and Joab repaired
the rest of the city. So David waxed greater and greater : for the Lord of hosts
was with him. "
13466 "� 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. And
David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for
the joinings ; and brass in abundance without weight ; also cedar trees in
abundance : for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be
builded for the Lord must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout
all countries : I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared
abundantly before his death. � Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him
to build a house for the Lord God of Israel. And David said to Solomon, My son, as
for me, it was in my mind to build a house unto the name of the Lord my God : but
the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast
made great wars : thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed
much blood upon the earth in my sight. 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. He shall build a 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. "
9764 "� And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his
son : (also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow : behold,
it is written in the book of Jasher :) The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high
places : how are the mighty fallen ! Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the
streets of Askelon ; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the
daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no
dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings : for there the
shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not
been anointed with oil. From the blood of the slain, "
10016 "� And David reigned over all Israel ; and David executed judgment and
justice unto all his people. And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host ; and
Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder ; and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and
Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests ; and Seraiah was the scribe ; "
9431 "� 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. And the priest said, The sword of
Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here
wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod : if thou wilt take that, take it : for there
is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that ; give it me. �
And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of
Gath. 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 ? And David laid up these words in his
heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. And he changed his behavior
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. Then said Achish unto his
servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad : wherefore then have ye brought him to me ?
Have I need of madmen, that ye have brought this fellow to play the madman in my
presence ? shall this fellow come into my house ? "
13363 "� And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to
stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates. And David took from him a thousand
chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen : David also
houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them a hundred chariots. And when
the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the
Syrians two and twenty thousand men. Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus ;
and the Syrians became David�s servants, and brought gifts. Thus the Lord preserved
David whithersoever he went. And David took the shields of gold that were on the
servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. Likewise from Tibhath, and
from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon
made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. � Now when Tou
king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of
Zobah ; he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to
congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him ; (for
Hadarezer had war with Tou ;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver
and brass. Them also king David dedicated unto the Lord, with the silver and the
gold that he brought from all these nations ; from Edom, and from Moab, and from
the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. � Moreover,
Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen
thousand. And he put garrisons in Edom ; and all the Edomites became David�s
servants. Thus the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went. "
9914 "� 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. And
these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem ; Shammuah, and
Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet. "
13208 "� And David took more wives at Jerusalem : and David begat more sons and
daughters. Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem ;
Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, "
9445 "� 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. And he brought them before the king of Moab : and
they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. 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 Hareth. "
5530 "� And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle,
This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses ; only the gold,
and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, every thing that may
abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean :
nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation : and all that
abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. And ye shall wash your
clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into
the camp. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the sum of the prey that
was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief
fathers of the congregation : and divide the prey into two parts ; between them
that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the
congregation. And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to
battle : one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of
the asses, and of the sheep : take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the
priest, for a heave offering of the Lord. And of the children of Israel�s half,
thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses,
and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which
keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord. "
7786 "� And Eleazar the son of Aaron died ; and they buried him in a hill that
pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim. "
11487 "� And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink ; for there is a
sound of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up
to the top of Carmel ; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face
between his knees, "
11829 "� 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. 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. So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as
they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God,
there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. 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. � And there came a man from Baal-
shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of
barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the
people, that they may eat. And his servitor said, What, should I set this before a
hundred men ? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat : for thus saith
the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. So he set it before them, and
they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord. "
11952 "� 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. 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 disease ? 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 disease ? And Elisha
said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover : howbeit the Lord
hath showed me that he shall surely die. "
771 "� 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. And these 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. "
33474 � And every man went unto his own house.
2972 "� And every wise-hearted among you shall come, and make all that the Lord
hath commanded ; the tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his
boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets ; the ark, and the staves thereof,
with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering ; the table, and his staves, and
all his vessels, and the showbread ; the candlestick also for the light, and his
furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light ; and the incense altar, and
his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the
door at the entering in of the tabernacle ; the altar of burnt offering, with his
brazen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot ; the
hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door
of the court ; the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their
cords ; the clothes of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments
for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest�s
office. "
3019 � And every wise-hearted man among them that wrought the work of the
tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet : with cherubim of cunning work made he them. The length of one curtain was
twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits : the curtains
were all of one size. � And he coupled the five curtains one unto another : and the
other five curtains he coupled one unto another. And he made loops of blue on the
edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling : likewise he made in the
uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second. Fifty loops made
he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in
the coupling of the second : the loops held one curtain to another. And he made
fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches :
so it became one tabernacle. � And he made curtains of goats� hair for the tent
over the tabernacle : eleven curtains he made them. The length of one curtain was
thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain : the eleven curtains
were of one size. And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves. And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the
coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the
second. And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it
might be one. And he made a covering for the tent of rams� skins dyed red, and a
covering of badgers� skins above that. � And he made boards for the tabernacle of
shittim wood, standing up. The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of

34244 "� And fear came upon every soul : and many wonders and signs were done by
the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common ; and
sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had
need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread
from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the
church daily such as should be saved. "
15485 � And for the villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah
dwelt at Kirjath-arba, and in the villages thereof, and at Dibon, and in the
villages thereof, and at Jekabzeel, and in the villages thereof, and at Jeshua, and
at Moladah, and at Beth-phelet, and at Hazar-shual, and at Beer-sheba, and in the
villages thereof, and at Ziklag, and at Mekonah, and in the villages thereof, and
at En-rimmon, and at Zareah, and at Jarmuth, Zanoah, Adullam, and in their
villages, at Lachish, and the fields thereof, at Azekah, and in the villages
thereof. And they dwelt from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom. The children
also of Benjamin from Geba dwelt at Michmash, and Aija, and Beth-el, and in their
villages,
14643 � And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of
Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven. And the Lord sent an angel, which cut off all the
mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of

the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. But Simon�s wife�s mother lay
sick of a fever ; and anon they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the
hand, and lifted her up ; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered
unto them. "
35081 � And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, � Ye know, from the first day
that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations,
which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews : and how I kept back nothing that
was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and
from house to house, testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold, I
go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me
there : save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and
afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life
dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry,
which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom
of God, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I
am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all
the counsel of God.
31003 "� And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and
entered into a house, and would have no man know it : but he could not be hid. For
a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came
and fell at his feet : the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation ; and she
besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. But Jesus said
unto her, Let the children first be filled : for it is not meet to take the
children�s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him,
Yes, Lord : yet the dogs under the table eat of the children�s crumbs. And he said
unto her, For this saying go thy way ; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. "
7813 "� And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir : and the name of
Debir before was Kirjath-sepher : and Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher,
and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. And Othniel the son
of Kenaz, Caleb�s younger brother, took it : and he gave him Achsah his daughter to
wife. And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her
father a field : and she lighted from off her ass ; and Caleb said unto her, What
wilt thou ? And she said unto him, Give me a blessing : for thou hast given me a
south land ; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs
and the nether springs. "
6 "� 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 : and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth : and it was so. And God made two great lights ; the greater light
to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night : he made the stars also.
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 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. And the evening and the morning were the
fourth day. � And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open
firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind : and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them,
saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl
multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. � And
God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and
creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind : and it was so. And God made
the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing
that creepeth upon the earth after his kind : and God saw that it was good. � 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. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him ; male and female created he them. "
31816 "� And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon�s house. And
Simon�s wife�s mother was taken with a great fever ; and they besought him for her.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever ; and it left her : and immediately
she arose and ministered unto them. "
34045 "� And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a
skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha : where they crucified him, and two
others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a
title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, Jesus of Nazareth the King of
the Jews. This title then read many of the Jews ; for the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh to the city : and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and
Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of
the Jews ; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have
written I have written. � Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took
his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part ; and also his coat :
now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore
among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be :
that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among
them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers
did. � Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother�s sister,
Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother,
and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,
behold thy son ! "
31076 "� And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things,
and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be
killed, and after three days rise again. And he spake that saying openly. And Peter
took him, and began to rebuke him. But when he had turned about and looked on his
disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan : for thou savorest
not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. � And when he had
called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it ; but whosoever shall lose his life
for my sake and the gospel�s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a
man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ? Or what shall a man
give in exchange for his soul ? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of
my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of
man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. "
30921 "� And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and
two ; and gave them power over unclean spirits ; and commanded them that they
should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only ; no scrip, no bread, no
money in their purse : but be shod with sandals ; and not put on two coats. And he
said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye
depart from that place. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye
depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day
of judgment, than for that city. And they went out, and preached that men should
repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick,
and healed them. "
35225 "� And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred
soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two
hundred, at the third hour of the night ; and provide them beasts, that they may
set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. And he wrote a letter
after this manner : "
31903 "� And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his
disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from
the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their
diseases ; and they that were vexed with unclean spirits : and they were healed.
And the whole multitude sought to touch him : for there went virtue out of him, and
healed them all. "
32905 "� And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives ; and
his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them,
Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a
stone�s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, "
31126 "� And he came to Capernaum : and being in the house he asked them, What was
it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way ? But they held their peace : for
by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. And he
sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be
first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. And he took a child, and
set him in the midst of them : and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto
them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me ; and
whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. "
31787 "� And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up : and, as his custom
was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And
there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened
the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon
me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor ; he hath sent me
to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the
acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the
minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were
fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture
fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious
words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph�s son ?
And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal
thyself : whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. "
31059 "� And he cometh to Bethsaida ; and they bring a blind man unto him, and
besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out
of the town ; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he
asked him if he saw aught. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up ; and he was
restored, and saw every man clearly. And he sent him away to his house, saying,
Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. "
13493 "� And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and
the Levites. Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and
upward : and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight
thousand. Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the
house of the Lord ; and six thousand were officers and judges : moreover four
thousand were porters ; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments
which I made, said David, to praise therewith. And David divided them into courses
among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. � Of the Gershonites
were Laadan, and Shimei. The sons of Laadan ; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and
Joel, three. The sons of Shimei ; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These
were the chief of the fathers of Laadan. And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina,
and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. And Jahath was the
chief, and Zizah the second : but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons ; therefore
they were in one reckoning, according to their father�s house. � The sons of Kohath
; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 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. Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of
the tribe of Levi. The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer. Of the sons of
Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. "
6879 � 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.
2829 � And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon
mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of
God.
30773 "� And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would : and
they came unto him. And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that
he might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to
cast out devils : and Simon he surnamed Peter ; and James the son of Zebedee, and
John the brother of James ; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of
thunder : And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and
James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas
Iscariot, which also betrayed him. � And they went into a house. "
33073 � And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and
blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them,
and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem
with great joy : and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
Amen.
31905 � And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor :
for yours is the kingdom of God. � Blessed are ye that hunger now : for ye shall be
filled. Blessed are ye that weep now : for ye shall laugh.
10948 "� And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other : it
was round all about, and his height was five cubits : and a line of thirty cubits
did compass it round about. And under the brim of it round about there were knops
compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about : the knops were cast
in two rows, when it was cast. It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the
north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and
three looking toward the east : and the sea was set above upon them, and all their
hinder parts were inward. And it was a handbreadth thick, and the brim thereof was
wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies : it contained two thousand
baths. � And he made 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. And the
work of the bases was on this manner : they had borders, and the borders were
between the ledges : and on the borders that were between the ledges were lions,
oxen, and cherubim : and upon the ledges there was a base above : and beneath the
lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work. And every base had four
brazen wheels, and plates of brass : and the four corners thereof had
undersetters : under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every
addition. And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit : but the
mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and a half : and also
upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round. And
under the borders were four wheels ; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to
the base : and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. "
3100 "� And he made the court : on the south side southward the hangings of the
court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits : their pillars were twenty, and
their brazen sockets twenty ; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of
silver. And for the north side the hangings were a hundred cubits, their pillars
were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty ; the hooks of the pillars and their
fillets of silver. And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their
pillars ten, and their sockets ten ; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of
silver. And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. The hangings of the one side
of the gate were fifteen cubits ; their pillars three, and their sockets three. And
for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of
fifteen cubits ; their pillars three, and their sockets three. All the hangings of
the court round about were of fine twined linen. And the sockets for the pillars
were of brass ; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver ; and the
overlaying of their chapiters of silver ; and all the pillars of the court were
filleted with silver. And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen : and twenty cubits was the
length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings
of the court. And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four ; their
hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass. "
32467 "� And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how
they chose out the chief rooms ; saying unto them, When thou art bidden of any man
to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room ; lest a more honorable man than
thou be bidden of him ; and he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give
this man place ; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou
art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room ; that when he that bade thee
cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher : then shalt thou have worship
in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. For whosoever exalteth himself
shall be abased ; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. � Then said he
also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy
friends, nor thy brethren, neither "
993 "� And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two
womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. And he took
them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. And Jacob was left
alone ; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when
he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh ; and
the hollow of Jacob�s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said,
Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou
bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name ? And he said, Jacob. And he said,
Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel : for as a prince hast thou
power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 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. And Jacob called the name of the place
Peniel [the face of God] : for I have seen God face to face, and my life is
preserved. And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon
his thigh. Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank,
which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day ; because he touched the
hollow of Jacob�s thigh in the sinew that shrank. "
32398 "� And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west,
straightway ye say, There cometh a shower ; and so it is. And when ye see the south
wind blow, ye say, There will be heat ; and it cometh to pass. Ye hypocrites, ye
can discern the face of the sky and of the earth ; but how is it that ye do not
discern this time ? "
32348 "� And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought
for your life, what ye shall eat ; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The
life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens :
for they neither sow nor reap ; which neither have storehouse nor barn ; and God
feedeth them : how much more are ye better than the fowls ? And which of you with
taking thought can add to his stature one cubit ? If ye then be not able to do that
thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest ? Consider the lilies how
they grow : they toil not, they spin not ; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. "
39505 � And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true : and the Lord God
of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must
shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly. � Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings
of the prophecy of this book. � And I John saw these things, and heard them. And
when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel
which showed me these things.
31308 � And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to
go in long clothing, and love salutations in the market places, and the chief seats
in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts : which devour widows� houses,
and for a pretense make long prayers : these shall receive greater damnation.
32804 � And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David�s son ? And David
himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore calleth him
Lord, how is he then his son ?
30823 "� And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or
under a bed ? and not to be set on a candlestick ? For there is nothing hid, which
shall not be manifested ; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should
come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them,
Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you ;
and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given
; and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. "
32903 � And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes,
lacked ye any thing ? And they said, Nothing. Then said he unto them, But now, he
that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip : and he that hath no
sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is
written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors
: for the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold, here are
two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
32520 � And he said, A certain man had two sons : and the younger of them said to
his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided
unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all
together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance
with riotous living.
30837 "� And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into
the ground ; and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring
and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself ;
first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the
fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest
is come. "
30839 "� And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God ? or with what
comparison shall we compare it ? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it
is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth : but when it
is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great
branches ; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. "
39428 � And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of
God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not
: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus :
worship God : for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
3495 "� And he slew the burnt offering ; and Aaron�s sons presented unto him the
blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar. And they presented the burnt
offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head : and he burnt them upon
the altar. And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt
offering on the altar. � And he brought the people�s offering, and took the goat,
which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as
the first. And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the
manner. And he brought the meat offering, and took a handful thereof, and burnt it
upon the altar, besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning. � He slew also the
bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people :
and Aaron�s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar
round about, and the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which
covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver : and they put
the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar : and the breasts and
the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord ; as Moses
commanded. � And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them ; and
came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace
offerings. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and
came out, and blessed the people : and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the
people. And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar
the burnt offering and the fat : which when all the people saw, they shouted, and
fell on their faces. "
32657 "� And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that
they were righteous, and despised others : Two men went up into the temple to
pray ; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed
thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners,
unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give
tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift
up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
rather than the other : for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased ; and
he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. "
32129 "� And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing
; saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and
chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. � And he said
to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it : but
whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a
man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away ? For
whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be
ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father�s, and of the holy
angels. But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not
taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. "
32265 "� And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when
the devil was gone out, the dumb spake ; and the people wondered. But some of them
said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. And others,
tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 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. If Satan also be divided against himself,
how shall his kingdom stand ? because ye say that I cast out devils through
Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them
out ? therefore shall they be your judges. But if I with the finger of God cast out
devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed
keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace : but when a stronger than he shall come
upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted,
and divideth his spoils. He that is not with me is against me ; and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth. "
32418 � And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold,
there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed
together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called
her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he
laid his hands on her : and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had
healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people,
30738 "� And he went forth again by the sea side ; and all the multitude resorted
unto him, and he taught them. And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus
sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and
followed him. � And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many
publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples ; for there
were many, and they followed him. And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat
with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth
and drinketh with publicans and sinners ? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them,
They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick : I came
not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. "
32751 "� And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein,
and them that bought ; saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of
prayer ; but ye have made it a den of thieves. � And he taught daily in the
temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to
destroy him, and could not find what they might do : for all the people were very
attentive to hear him. "
32437 � And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying
toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved ? And
he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate : for many, I say unto
you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
38754 � And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He
that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth
is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
perfected : hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him
ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. � Brethren, I write no new
commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The
old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new
commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you : because the
darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light,
and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother
abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that
hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither
he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
34707 "� And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon : but they
came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king�s chamberlain their
friend, desired peace ; because their country was nourished by the king�s country.
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made
an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a
god, and not of a man. "
14603 "� And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after
their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for
burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to
praise in the gates of the tents of the Lord. 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. Moreover he commanded the
people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites,
that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord. And as soon as the
commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought 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. And concerning the
children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought
in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated
unto the Lord their God, and laid them by heaps. In the third month they began to
lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. And when
Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his
people Israel. Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning
the heaps. And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and
said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we
have had enough to eat, and have left plenty : for the Lord hath blessed his people
; and that which is left is this great store. � Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare
chambers in the house of the Lord ; and they prepared them, "
14660 "� And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor : and he made himself
treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and
for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels ; storehouses also for the
increase of corn, and wine, and oil ; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and
cotes for flocks. Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and
herds in abundance : for God had given him substance very much. This same Hezekiah
also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the
west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. "
12462 � And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will
heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day ? And
Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing
that he hath spoken : shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten
degrees ? And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten
degrees : nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. And Isaiah the
prophet cried unto the Lord : and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by
which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
14743 "� And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the
prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of
the wardrobe ; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college ;) and they spake to her
to that effect. And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell ye
the man that sent you to me, 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 : 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 my wrath shall be poured out
upon this place, and shall not be quenched. And as for the king of Judah, who sent
you to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of
Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard ; 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 humbledst thyself before me, and
didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me ; I have even heard thee also, saith the
Lord. 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 of the same. So they brought the king word
again. � Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and
Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of
Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all
the people, great and small : and he read in their ears all the words of the book
of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord. 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 "
9912 � And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and
carpenters, and masons : and they built David a house. 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.
31628 "� And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied,
saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel ; for he hath visited and redeemed his
people, and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us "
5889 "� And I besought the Lord at that time, saying, O Lord God, thou hast begun
to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand : for what God is there in
heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy
might ? I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan,
that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes,
and would not hear me : and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee ; speak no
more unto me of this matter. Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine
eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine
eyes : for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 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. So we abode in the valley over
against Beth-peor. "
39308 "� And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth : Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may
rest from their labors ; and their works do follow them. "
27105 "� And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house ; and the man stood by
me. And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the
soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for
ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor
their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high
places. In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my
posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even "
39310 "� And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like
unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp
sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him
that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap : for the time is come for
thee to reap ; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud
thrust in his sickle on the earth ; and the earth was reaped. � And another angel
came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And
another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire ; and cried with a
loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and
gather the clusters of the vine of the earth ; for her grapes are fully ripe. And
the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth,
and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was
trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse
bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. "
39458 "� And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face
the earth and the heaven fled away ; and there was found no place for them. And I
saw the dead, small and great, stand before God ; and the books were opened : and
another book was opened, which is the book of life : and the dead were judged out
of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the
sea gave up the dead which were in it ; and death and hell delivered up the dead
which were in them : and they were judged every man according to their works. And
death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
"
39296 "� And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting
gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and
kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory
to him ; for the hour of his judgment is come : and worship him that made heaven,
and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. � And there followed another
angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all
nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. � And the third angel
followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his
image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink
of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup
of his indignation ; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb : and the smoke of
their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever : and they have no rest day nor night,
who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
� Here is the patience of the saints : here are they that keep the commandments of
God, and the faith of Jesus. "
39324 "� And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire : and them that had
gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over
the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And
they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty ; just and true are thy ways,
thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name ? For
thou only art holy : for all nations shall come and worship before thee ; for thy
judgments are made manifest. � And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of
the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened : and the seven angels came
out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and
having their breasts girded with golden girdles. And one of the four beasts gave
unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for
ever and ever. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from
his power ; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of
the seven angels were fulfilled. "
39430 "� And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse ; and he that sat upon
him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns ; and he had a
name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood : and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were
in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the
nations ; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron : and he treadeth the winepress
of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his
thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. � And I saw an angel
standing in the sun ; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that
fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of
the great God ; 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 "
32329 "� And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body,
and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn 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. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one
of them is forgotten before God ? But even the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. Fear not therefore : ye are of more value than many sparrows. "
5844 "� And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of
Heshbon with words of peace, saying, Let me pass through thy land : I will go along
by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left. Thou
shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat ; and give me water for money, that I
may drink : only I will pass through on my feet : (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. But Sihon king of
Heshbon would not let us pass by him : for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit,
and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth
this day. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his
land before thee : begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land. Then Sihon
came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. And the Lord our God
delivered him before us ; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. "
5769 "� And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you
myself alone : the Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day
as the stars of heaven for multitude. (The Lord God of your fathers make you a
thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you !)
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife ? Take
you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them
rulers over you. And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is
good for us to do. So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and
made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and
captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes. And
I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren,
and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is
with him. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment ; but ye shall hear the small as
well as the great ; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man ; for the judgment is
God�s : and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear
it. And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do. "
37646 "� And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he
counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry ; who was before a blasphemer,
and a persecutor, and injurious : but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly
in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love
which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners ; of whom I am chief. Howbeit
for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all
long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life
everlasting. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be
honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. � This charge I commit unto thee, son
Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them
mightest war a good warfare ; holding faith, and a good conscience ; which some
having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck : of whom is Hymeneus and
Alexander ; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

2438 � And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he
shall surely endow her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuse to give her
unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. � Thou shalt not
suffer a witch to live. � Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to
death. � He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be
utterly destroyed. � Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him : for ye
were strangers in the land of Egypt.
2420 "� 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 ; the owner of the pit shall make it good, and
give money unto the owner of them ; and the dead beast shall be his. � And if one
man�s ox hurt another�s that he die ; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide
the money of it ; and the dead ox also they shall divide. Or if it be known that
the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in ; he
shall surely pay ox for ox ; and the dead shall be his own. "
4229 "� And if a man shall sanctify unto the Lord some part of a field of his
possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof : a homer of
barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. If he sanctify his field
from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand. But if he
sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the
money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee, and it
shall be abated from thy estimation. And if he that sanctified the field will in
any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation
unto it, and it shall be assured to him. 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. But the
field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the Lord, as a field
devoted ; the possession thereof shall be the priest�s. And if a man sanctify unto
the Lord a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession
; then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the
year of the jubilee : and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy
thing unto the Lord. In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of
whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong. And
all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary : twenty
gerahs shall be the shekel. � Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the
Lord�s firstling, no man shall sanctify it ; whether it be ox, or sheep : it is the
Lord�s. And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to
thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto : or if it be not
redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation. "
2406 "� And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it
perish ; he shall let him go free for his eye�s sake. 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. � If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die : then the ox shall
be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten ; but the owner of the ox shall
be quit. But if the ox were wont to push with his horn 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.
If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his
life whatsoever is laid upon him. Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a
daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him. If the ox shall
push a manservant or a maidservant ; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels
of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. "
3282 "� And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the Lord. And
he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the
congregation : and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the
altar round about. And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made
by fire unto the Lord ; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is
upon the inwards, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by
the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
And the priest shall burn them upon the altar : it is the food of the offering made
by fire for a sweet savor : all the fat is the Lord�s. It shall be a perpetual
statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat
nor blood. "
3252 "� And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it
shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers
anointed with oil. And if thy oblation be a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall
be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. Thou shalt part it in pieces, and
pour oil thereon : it is a meat offering. And if thy oblation be a meat offering
baked in the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. And thou shalt
bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the Lord : and when it is
presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar. And the priest shall
take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar :
it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord. And that which is
left of the meat offering shall be Aaron�s and his sons� : it is a thing most holy
of the offerings of the Lord made by fire. � No meat offering, which ye shall bring
unto the Lord, shall be made with leaven : for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any
honey, in any offering of the Lord made by fire. As for the oblation of the
firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the Lord : but they shall not be burnt on the
altar for a sweet savor. And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season
with salt ; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be
lacking from thy meat offering : with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. �
And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord, thou shalt
offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the
fire, even corn beaten out of full ears. And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay
frankincense thereon : it is a meat offering. And the priest shall burn the
memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with
all the frankincense thereof : it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord. "
6329 "� And if thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee,
and serve thee six years ; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from
thee. And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away
empty : thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor,
and out of thy winepress : of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee
thou shalt give unto him. 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. And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee ;
because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee ; 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. It shall
not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee ; for he hath
been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years : and the Lord
thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest. "

Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he ; take him, and lead him away safely. And
as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, Master ;
and kissed him. And they laid their hands on him, and took him. And one of them
that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his
ear. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief,
with swords and with staves to take me ? I was daily with you in the temple
teaching, and ye took me not : but the Scriptures must be fulfilled. And they all
forsook him, and fled. "

that hear the word of God, and keep it.
32116 "� And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with
him ; and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am ? They answering
said, John the Baptist ; but some say, Elijah ; and others say, that one of the old
prophets is risen again. He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am ? Peter
answering said, The Christ of God. "

publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the
Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your master with
publicans and sinners ? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be
whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that
meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice : for I am not come to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
34568 � And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down
also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
35442 "� And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the
Jews together : and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and
brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our
fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans :
who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of
death in me. But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto
Caesar ; not that I had aught to accuse my nation of. For this cause therefore have
I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you : because that for the hope of
Israel I am bound with this chain. And they said unto him, We neither received
letters out of Judea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came showed
or spake any harm of thee. But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest : for
as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. � And when
they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging ; to whom he
expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both
out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. And
some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. 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 our fathers, saying, Go unto
this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand ; and seeing
ye shall see, and not perceive : for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and
their ears are dull of hearing, "

man sat by the wayside begging : and hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what
it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried,
saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before
rebuked him, that he should hold his peace : but he cried so much the more, Thou
Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought
unto him : and when he was come near, he asked him, saying, What wilt thou that I
shall do unto thee ? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said
unto him, Receive thy sight : thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he
received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God : and all the people, when
they saw it, gave praise unto God.
2236 "� And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp
: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. And when the dew that lay
was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing,
as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it,
they said one to another, It is manna : for they wist not what it was. And Moses
said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. This is the
thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his
eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons ; take ye
every man for them which are in his tents. And the children of Israel did so, and
gathered, some more, some less. 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. And Moses said, Let no man leave of it
till the morning. 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. And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating :
and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. � And it came to pass, that on the sixth day
they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man : and all the rulers of
the congregation came and told Moses. And he said unto them, This is that which the
Lord hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord : bake that
which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe ; and that which remaineth
over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. And they laid it up till the
morning, as Moses bade : and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
And Moses said, Eat that today ; for today is a sabbath unto the Lord : today ye
shall not find it in the field. "
2084 "� And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the
firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon ; and all the firstborn of cattle.
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. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get
you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel ; and go, serve
the Lord, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said,
and be gone ; and bless me also. � And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people,
that they might send them out of the land in haste ; for they said, We be all dead
men. And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs
being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. "
30753 "� And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath
day ; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the
Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not
lawful ? And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had
need, and was ahungered, he, and they that were with him ? How he went into the
house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the showbread,
which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were
with him ? And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the
sabbath : therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. "
32148 "� And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from
the hill, much people met him. And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying,
Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son ; for he is mine only child. And, lo, a
spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out ; and it teareth him that he foameth
again, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him. And I besought thy disciples to
cast him out ; and they could not. And Jesus answering said, O faithless and
perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you ? Bring thy son
hither. And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And
Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to
his father. And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. "
29847 � And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he
departed thence. And when he was come 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 ?
24974 "� And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up
from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh�s army, then Jeremiah went forth out of
Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst
of the people. 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
took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans. Then said
Jeremiah, It is false ; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to
him : so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. Wherefore 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. � When Jeremiah was
entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many
days ; then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out ; and the king asked him
secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the Lord ? And Jeremiah
said, There is : for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of
Babylon. Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against
thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in
prison ? Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of
Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land ? Therefore hear now, I
pray thee, O my lord the king : let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted
before thee ; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe,
lest I die there. Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah
into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread
out of the bakers� street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus
Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. "
35161 � And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto
Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me ?
32182 "� And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said
unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto
him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests ; but the Son of man hath
not where to lay his head. And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord,
suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury
their dead : but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said,
Lord, I will follow thee ; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home
at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and
looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. "
627 "� And it came to pass, that, when Abraham�s servant heard their words, he
worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth. 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. 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. 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. 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. And they said, We will call the
damsel, and inquire at her mouth. And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt
thou go with this man ? And she said, I will go. And they sent away Rebekah their
sister, and her nurse, and Abraham�s servant, and his men. And they blessed
Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister ; be thou the mother of thousands
of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them. 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. � And Isaac came from the way of
the well Lahai-roi ; for he dwelt in the south country. And Isaac went out to
meditate in the field at the eventide : and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and,
behold, the camels were coming. And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw
Isaac, she lighted off the camel. For she had said unto the servant, What man is
this that walketh in the field to meet us ? And the servant had said, It is my
master : therefore she took a veil, and covered herself. And the servant told Isaac
all things that he had done. "
35175 "� And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while
I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance ; and saw him saying unto me, Make haste,
and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem : for they will not receive thy testimony
concerning me. And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every
synagogue them that believed on thee : and when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was
shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment
of them that slew him. And he said unto me, Depart : for I will send thee far
hence unto the Gentiles. "
32066 � And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly
received him : for they were all waiting for him.
11620 � 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. And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 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.
31836 "� And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of
leprosy ; who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if
thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he put forth his hand, and touched him,
saying, I will : be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. And
he charged him to tell no man : But go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer
for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. "
1086 "� And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and
lay with Bilhah his father�s concubine : and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob
were twelve : the sons of Leah ; Reuben, Jacob�s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi,
and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun : the sons of Rachel ; Joseph, and Benjamin :
and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel�s handmaid ; Dan, and Naphtali : and the sons of
Zilpah, Leah�s handmaid ; Gad, and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, which were
born to him in Padan-aram. "
7135 "� 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 ? 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 ? And the captain of the Lord�s host
said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot ; for the place whereon thou
standest is holy. And Joshua did so. "
6881 "� 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, that Moses commanded the Levites,
which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, Take this book of the law,
and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may
be there for a witness against thee. 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 ? Gather 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 record against them. For I know that after my death ye will
utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded
you ; and evil will befall you in the latter days ; because ye will do evil in the
sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. "
2129 � And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them
not through the way of the land of the Philistines,
877 "� 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. Give me
my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go : for thou
knowest my service which I have done thee. And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if
I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry : for I have learned by experience that the
Lord hath blessed me for thy sake. And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will
give it. And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy
cattle was with me. For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now
increased unto a multitude ; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming : and
now, when shall I provide for mine own house also ? And he said, What shall I give
thee ? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing : if thou wilt do this
thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock. "
4724 "� And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up,
Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered ; and let them that hate thee flee before
thee. And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, unto the many thousands of
Israel. "
32168 � And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up,
he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face
: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for
him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to
Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt
thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as
Elijah did ? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of
spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men�s lives, but to
save them. And they went to another village.
9828 � And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the
house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
11785 "� 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. And she said unto her husband, Behold
now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, 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. "
11797 "� And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the
chamber, and lay there. And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite.
And when he had called her, she stood before him. 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. And he said, What then is
to be done for her ? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband
is old. And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a
son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto
her, according to the time of life. � And when the child was grown, it fell on a
day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. And he said unto his father, My
head, my head ! And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother. And when he had
taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then
died. And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door
upon him, and went out. And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray
thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God,
and come again. And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him today ? it is neither
new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well. Then she saddled an ass, and
said to her servant, Drive, and go forward ; slack not thy riding for me, except I
bid thee. 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 that Shunammite : "
6016 "� And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought 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, and houses full of all good
things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not,
vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not ; when thou shalt have eaten
and be full ; then beware lest thou forget the Lord, which brought thee forth out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God,
and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. Ye shall not go after other gods, of
the gods of the people which are round about you ; (for the Lord thy God is a
jealous God among you ;) lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against
thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. � Ye shall not tempt the
Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. Ye shall diligently keep the
commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he
hath commanded thee. 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, to cast out all thine enemies
from before thee, as the Lord hath spoken. "
28092 "� 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 : and also upon the servants and
upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit. � And I will show
wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and
the terrible day of the Lord come. 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 shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the
Lord shall call. "
23882 "� 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. 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. � At that time shall it be said to this
people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the
daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse, even a full wind from those
places shall come unto me : now also will I give sentence against them. Behold, he
shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind : his horses are
swifter than eagles. Woe unto us ! for we are spoiled. O Jerusalem, wash thine
heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts
lodge within thee ? For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from
mount Ephraim. 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. As keepers of a field, are they against her round about ; because she
hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord. Thy way and thy doings have
procured these things unto thee ; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter,
because it reacheth unto thine heart. � My bowels, my bowels ! I am pained at my
very heart ; my heart maketh a noise in me ; I cannot hold my peace, because thou
hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. Destruction upon
destruction is cried ; for the whole land is spoiled : suddenly are my tents
spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. How long shall I see the standard, and hear
the sound of the trumpet ? "
33625 "� And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon�s porch. Then came the Jews round about
him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt ? If thou be the
Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not : the
works that I do in my Father�s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not,
because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me : and I give unto them eternal life ; and they shall
never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which
gave them me, is greater than all ; and no man is able to pluck them out of my
Father�s hand. I and my Father are one. � Then the Jews took up stones again to
stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father ;
for which of those works do ye stone me ? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good
work we stone thee not ; but for blasphemy ; and because that thou, being a man,
makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye
are gods ? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
Scripture cannot be broken ; say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and
sent into the world, Thou blasphemest ; because I said, I am the Son of God ? If I
do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not
me, believe the works ; that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me,
and I in him. � Therefore they sought again to take him ; but he escaped out of
their hand, "
9943 � And it was told king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of
Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of

which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. And the days of Isaac were a
hundred and fourscore years. And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was
gathered unto his people, being old and full of days : and his sons Esau and Jacob
buried him.
799 "� And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighted
upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set ; and he
took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in
that place to sleep. 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. And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord
God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac : the land whereon thou liest, to
thee will I give it, and to thy seed ; 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. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places
whither 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. And Jacob awaked out
of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place ; and I knew it not.
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. � And Jacob rose up early in the
morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a
pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. And he called the name of that place
Beth-el [the house of God] : but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
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, "
31192 "� And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we
would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. And he said unto
them, What would ye that I should do for you ? They said unto him, Grant unto us
that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy
glory. But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask : can ye drink of the cup
that I drink of ? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? And
they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the
cup that I drink of ; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be
baptized : but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give ;
but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. And when the ten heard it,
they began to be much displeased with James and John. But Jesus called them to him,
and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the
Gentiles exercise lordship over them ; and their great ones exercise authority upon

12122 � And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that
is brought into the house of the Lord, even the money of every one that passeth the
account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any
man�s heart to bring into the house of the Lord, let the priests take it to them,
every man of his acquaintance : and let them repair the breaches of the house,
wheresoever any breach shall be found. But it was so, that in the three and
twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the
house. Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and
said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house ? now therefore receive
no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair
the breaches of the house. � 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. 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. And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the
work, that had the oversight of the house of the Lord : and they laid it out to the
carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the Lord, and to masons,
and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of
the house of the Lord, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
Howbeit there were not made for the house of the Lord bowls of silver, snuffers,
basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was
brought into the house of the Lord :
14229 "� And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem : and he went out again through the
people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the Lord God of
their fathers. And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of
Judah, city by city, and said to the judges, Take heed what ye do : for ye judge
not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let
the fear of the Lord be upon you ; take heed and do it : for there is no iniquity
with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. � Moreover in
Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief
of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, and for controversies, when
they returned to Jerusalem. And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the
fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. And what cause soever shall
come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood,
between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them "
14282 � 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. And he walked in the way of Asa
his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of
the Lord. Howbeit the high places were not taken away : for as yet the people had
not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers. � Now the rest of the acts
of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the
son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel. � And after
this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who
did very wickedly : and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to
Tarshish : and they made the ships in Ezion-gaber. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah
of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined
thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken,
that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
11665 "� And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth
year of Ahab king of Israel. 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. And he walked in all the ways of
Asa his father ; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the
eyes of the Lord : nevertheless the high places were not taken away ; for the
people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. "
12066 "� And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served
Baal a little ; but Jehu shall serve him much. Now therefore call unto me all the
prophets of Baal, all his servants, 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. And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they
proclaimed it. And Jehu sent through all Israel : and all the worshippers of Baal
came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house
of Baal ; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another. 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. And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of
Rechab, into the house of Baal, and 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. And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt
offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I
have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for
the life of him. � And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an 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. And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made
it a draught house unto this day. "
8261 "� And Jephthah came to Mizpeh 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. 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. And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy
mouth unto the Lord, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy
mouth ; forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even
of the children of Ammon. And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for
me : let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and
bewail my virginity, I and my fellows. And he said, Go. And he sent her away for
two months : and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the
mountains. 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 knew no
man. And it was a custom in Israel, that the daughters of Israel went yearly to
lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year. "
31306 "� And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the
scribes that Christ is the son of David ? For David himself said by the Holy Ghost,
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord ; and whence is he then his
son ? And the common people heard him gladly. "

31321 "� And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast
money into the treasury : and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a
certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he
called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That
this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the
treasury : for all they did cast in of their abundance ; but she of her want did
cast in all that she had, even all her living. "
30554 "� And 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. And when he
was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. Then said Pilate
unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee ? And he
answered him to never a word ; insomuch that the governor marveled greatly. "
29337 "� And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease among the people. And his fame went throughout all Syria : and
they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and
torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic,
and those that had the palsy ; and he healed them. And there followed him great
multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from
Judea, and from beyond Jordan. "
29610 "� And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and
every disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with
compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep
having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is
plenteous, but the laborers are few ; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he will send forth laborers into his harvest. "
30189 "� And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and
bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats
of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be
called the house of prayer ; but ye have made it a den of thieves. � And the blind
and the lame came to him in the temple ; and he healed them. And when the chief
priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying
in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David ; they were sore displeased,
and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say ? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea ;
have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected
praise ? And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany ; and he lodged
there. "
31061 "� And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi
: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I
am ? And they answered, John the Baptist : but some say, Elijah ; and others, One
of the prophets. And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am ? And Peter
answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. And he charged them that they
should tell no man of him. "
29335 "� And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called
Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea : for they were fishers.
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they
straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw
other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with

left the ship and their father, and followed him. "

thy name, and he followeth not us ; and we forbade him, because he followeth not
us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not : for there is no man which shall do a miracle
in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on

said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do
show forth themselves in him. Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That
it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. But when Herod heard thereof, he said,
It is John, whom I beheaded : he is risen from the dead. For Herod himself had sent
forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias� sake, his
brother Philip�s wife ; for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is
not lawful for thee to have thy brother�s wife. Therefore Herodias had a quarrel
against him, and would have killed him ; but she could not : "

that are in the low plains in abundance. And they brought unto Solomon horses out
of Egypt, and out of all lands. "

of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass : and

pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece : and a line of twelve cubits did
compass either of them about. 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 : and nets of checkerwork, and
wreaths of chainwork, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars ;
seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter. And he made the
pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that
were upon the top, with pomegranates : and so did he for the other chapiter. And
the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch,
four cubits. And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above,
over against the belly which was by the network : and the pomegranates were two
hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter. And he set up the pillars in

work : so was the work of the pillars finished. "

of the Lord, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation : but
if he thus say, I have no delight in thee ; behold, here am I, let him do to me as
seemeth good unto him. The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a
seer ? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son,
and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness,
until there come word from you to certify me. Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried
the ark of God again to Jerusalem : and they tarried there. � And David went up by
the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and
he went barefoot : and all the people that was with him covered every man his head,
and they went up, weeping as they went up. And one told David, saying, Ahithophel
is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Lord, I pray thee, turn

was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the
Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head : unto whom
David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me : 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 hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant :
then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. 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 "

Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary,
the babe leaped in her womb ; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost : and
she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my
Lord should come to me ? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed :
for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my
Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden : for, behold, from
henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done
to me great things ; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him
from generation to generation. He hath showed strength with his arm ; he hath
scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty
from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with
good things ; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant
Israel, in remembrance of his mercy ; as he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and
to his seed for ever. "
11744 � And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of

: and the house of their fathers increased greatly. And they went to the entrance
of Gedor, even unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet, and
peaceable ; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old. And these written by name came
in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the habitations
that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their
rooms : because there was pasture there for their flocks. And some of them, even of
the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains
Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. And they smote
the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day. "
21644 "� And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness
was there ; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 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. I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the
sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they
themselves are beasts. 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 "
21854 "� And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people
knowledge ; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words : and that which was written was
upright, even words of truth. � The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails
fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And
further, by these, my son, be admonished : of making many books there is no end ;
and much study is a weariness of the flesh. � Let us hear the conclusion of the
whole matter : Fear God, and keep his commandments : for this is the whole duty of
man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether
it be good, or whether it be evil. "

the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his
work which they made ; 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. And
Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp,

carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work. "
2897 "� 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. Now
therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way,
that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight : and consider that this
nation is thy people. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give
thee rest. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up
hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in
thy sight ? is it not in that thou goest with us ? So shall we be separated, I and
thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. � 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. And he said, I beseech thee, show
me thy glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will
proclaim the name of the Lord before thee ; and will be gracious to whom I will be
gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. And he said, Thou canst
not see my face : for there shall no man see me, and live. And the Lord said,
Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock : and it shall
come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the
rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by : and I will take away mine
hand, and thou shalt see my back parts ; but my face shall not be seen. "
4836 "� And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou
broughtest up this people in thy might from among them ;) and they will tell it to
the inhabitants of this land : for they have heard that thou Lord art among this
people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over
them, and that thou goest before them, by daytime in a pillar of a cloud, and in a
pillar of fire by night. Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then
the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, 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. And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my
Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, The Lord is long-suffering,
and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing
the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people
according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people,
from Egypt even until now. "
5076 "� 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 : how our
fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time ; and the
Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers : and when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our
voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt : and, behold, we
are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border. Let us pass, I pray thee,
through thy country : we will not pass through the fields, or through the
vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells : we will go by the
king�s high way, we will "

this song, until they were ended.
2960 "� And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel,
saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying, Take ye from among you
an offering unto the Lord : whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an
offering of the Lord ; gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine linen, and goats� hair, and rams� skins dyed red, and badgers�
skins, and shittim wood, and oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and
for the sweet incense, and onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for
the breastplate. "
4865 "� And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel : and the
people mourned greatly. And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into
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. And Moses said, Wherefore now do
ye transgress the commandment of the Lord ? but it shall not prosper. Go not up,
for the Lord is not among you ; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. For the
Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the
sword : because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be
with you. But they presumed to go up unto the hilltop : nevertheless the ark of the
covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp. Then the Amalekites
came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and
discomfited them, even unto Hormah. "
1787 � 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. And the Lord said
unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt : for all the men are dead which sought
thy life. 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. � And
the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do
all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand : but I will
harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. And thou shalt say unto
Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn :
15312 "� And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the
rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a
register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written
therein, � These are the children of the province, that went up out of the
captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of
Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto
his city ; who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani,
Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. � The number, I say, of the
men of the people of Israel was this ; The children of Parosh, two thousand a
hundred seventy and two. The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two.
The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two. "
11349 "� And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second
year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. And he did 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. � And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of
Issachar, conspired against him ; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged
to the Philistines ; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. Even in the
third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. And
it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam ; he left
not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the
saying of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite : because
of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his
provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger. � Now the rest
of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the
Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? And there was war between Asa and Baasha king
of Israel all their days. "
31508 � And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is,
the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counselor, which also
waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the
body of Jesus. And Pilate marveled if he were already dead : and calling unto him
the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. And when he knew it
of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. And he bought fine linen, and took
him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn
out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
27697 "� And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three
kings in Persia ; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all : and by his
strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. And a
mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according
to his will. And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be
divided toward the four winds of heaven ; and not to his posterity, nor according
to his dominion which he ruled : for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for
others besides those. � 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. And in the end of years they shall join themselves together ;
for the king�s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an
agreement : but she shall not retain the power of the arm ; neither shall he stand,
nor his arm : but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that
begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times. � But out of a branch of
her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and
shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against
them, and shall prevail : and shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with
their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold ; and he shall
continue more years than the king of the north. So the king of the south shall come
into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land. � But his sons shall be
stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces : and one shall
certainly come, and overflow, and pass through : then shall he return, and be
stirred up, even to his fortress. 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 :

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, to keep the commandments of the
Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good ? Behold, the
heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord�s thy God, the earth also, with all
that therein is. Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he
chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. For
the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a
terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward : he doth execute the
judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food
and raiment. Love ye therefore the stranger : for ye were strangers in the land of
Egypt. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God ; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt
thou cleave, and swear by his name. He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath
done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. 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. "

he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. "

him ; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his
shoulders. � 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, and
for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put
forth by the moon, and for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the
precious things of the lasting hills, and for the precious things of the earth and
fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush : let the
blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was
separated from his brethren. His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and
his horns are like the horns of unicorns : with them he shall push the people
together to the ends of the earth : and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and
they are the thousands of Manasseh. � And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in
thy going out ; and, Issachar, in thy tents. They shall call the people unto the
mountain ; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness : for they shall suck
of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand. � And of Gad he
said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad : he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm
with the crown of the head. And he provided the first part for himself, "
4667 "� And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the
tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony : and at even there was upon the
tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. So it was alway :
the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. And when the
cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel
journeyed : and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel
pitched their tents. At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel
journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched : as long as the cloud
abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents. And when the cloud tarried
long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of
the Lord, and journeyed not. And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the
tabernacle ; according to the commandment of the Lord they abode in their tents,
and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed. And so it was, when
the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the
morning, then they "

seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing
thereon : and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves ; for the time of
figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee
hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. "

offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock ; and two tenth deals of flour for a
meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram ; and a several tenth deal of flour

sweet savor, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord. And their drink offerings
shall be half a hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of a hin unto a ram,

throughout the months of the year. And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto
the Lord shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering. "

first year without blemish : and their meat offering and their drink offerings for
the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number,
after the manner : and one goat for a sin offering ; beside the continual burnt
offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. � And on the seventh day seven
bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish : and
their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and
for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner : and one goat
for a sin offering ; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and
his drink offering. � On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly : ye shall
do no servile work therein : but ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made
by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord : one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the
first year without blemish : their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after

Lord in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your
burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for
your peace offerings. � And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that

went into the Pharisee�s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the
city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee�s
house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him
weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of
her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the
Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if
he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that
toucheth him ; for she is a sinner. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I
have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. There was a certain
creditor which had two debtors : the one owed five hundred pence, and the other
fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me
therefore, which of them will love him most ? Simon answered and said, I suppose
that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman ? I entered
into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet : but she hath washed my feet
with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss : but
this woman, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. "
31289 "� And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and
perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first
commandment of all ? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel ; The Lord our God is one Lord : and thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, "

and the people, said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that
perverteth the people ; and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found
no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him : no, nor yet
Herod : for I sent you to him ; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
I will therefore chastise him, and release him. (For of necessity he must release
one unto them at the feast.) � And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with
this man, and release unto us Barabbas : (who for a certain sedition made in the
city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) Pilate therefore, willing to release
Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. And
he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done ? I have found no
cause of death in him : I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. And they
were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified : and the
voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that it
should be as they required. And he released unto them him that for sedition and
murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired ; but he delivered Jesus to
their will. "
14027 "� And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah. He
built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, and Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, and Zorah,
and Ajalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fenced cities. And he
fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and store of victuals, and of
oil and wine. And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them
exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. � And the priests and the
Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. For the
Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem :
for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest�s office unto
the Lord : and he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and
for the calves which he had made. And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel,
such as set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to
sacrifice unto the Lord God of their fathers. So they strengthened the kingdom of
Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years : for three years
they walked in the way of David and Solomon. � And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the
daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab
the son of Jesse ; which bare him children ; Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham. And
after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom ; which bare him Abijah, and
Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom
above all his wives and his concubines : (for he took eighteen wives, and "

one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem,
the city which the Lord did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name
there. And his mother�s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Judah did evil in the
sight of the Lord, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had
committed, above all that their fathers had done. For they also built them high
places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
And there were also sodomites in the land : and they did according to all the
abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
� And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of
Egypt came up against Jerusalem : 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. And king Rehoboam made
in their stead brazen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of
the guard, which kept the door of the king�s house. And it was so, when the king
went into the house of the Lord, that the guard bare them, and brought them back
into the guard chamber. � 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 ? And
there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. "

unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and 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. Then the children of Israel
did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the Lord only. � And Samuel said,
Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the Lord. And they
gathered together to Mizpeh, 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 Mizpeh. And when the Philistines heard that the
children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines
went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid
of the Philistines. 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. And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering
wholly unto the Lord : and Samuel cried unto the Lord for Israel ; and the Lord
heard him. "

And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king. And he said, Wherefore doth my
lord thus pursue after his servant ? for what have I done ? or what evil is in mine
hand ? Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his
servant. If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering :
but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the Lord ; for they have
driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go,
serve other gods. Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face
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. � Then said Saul, I have sinned : return, my son
David ; for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes
this day : behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. And David
answered and said, Behold the king�s spear ! and let one of the young men come over
and fetch it. The Lord render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness :
for the Lord delivered thee into my hand today, but I would not stretch forth mine
hand against the Lord�s anointed. 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. Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son
David : thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David
went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. "

immediately the cock crew. "
21759 � And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the
holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done : this is also
vanity. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore

evil a hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be
well with them that fear God, which fear before him :

Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son. And the sons of Jeconiah ; Assir, Salathiel his
son, Malchiram also, and Pedaiah, and Shenazar, Jecamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah.
And the sons of Pedaiah were, Zerubbabel, and Shimei : and the sons of Zerubbabel ;
Meshullam, and Hananiah, and Shelomith their sister : and Hashubah, and Ohel, and
Berechiah, and Hasadiah, Jushabhesed, five. And the sons of Hananiah ; Pelatiah,
and Jesaiah : the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, the
sons of Shechaniah. And the sons of Shechaniah ; Shemaiah : and the sons of
Shemaiah ; Hattush, and Igeal, and Bariah, and Neariah, and Shaphat, six. And the
sons of Neariah ; Elioenai, and Hezekiah, and Azrikam, three. And the sons of
Elioenai were, Hodaiah, and Eliashib, and Pelaiah, and Akkub, and Johanan, and
Dalaiah, and Anani, seven. "
34862 "� And some days after, Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit
our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how
they do. And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from
Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. And the contention was so sharp
between them, that they departed asunder one from the other : and so Barnabas took
Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus ; and Paul chose Silas, and departed, being
recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. And he went through Syria and
Cilicia, confirming the churches. "
34405 � And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among
the people. Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the
synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of
Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. And they were not able to resist the
wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. Then they suborned men, which said, We
have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. And they
stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and
caught him, and brought him to the council, and set up false witnesses, which said,
This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the
law : for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this
place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. And all that sat in
the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an
angel.
30955 � And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to
go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. And when
he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
29880 � And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to
go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he
had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray : and when
the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the
sea, tossed with waves : for the wind was contrary.
7325 "� And that day Joshua took Makkedah, 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 let none remain : and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto
the king of Jericho. � Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him,
unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah : 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 let none remain in it ; but did unto the
king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. � And Joshua passed from Libnah,
and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against
it : and the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which 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. � Then Horam king of Gezer
came up to help Lachish ; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left
him none remaining. � And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel
with him ; and they encamped against it, and fought against it : 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. � And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron ;
and they fought against it : 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 destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein. � And Joshua
returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir ; and fought against it : 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 "
2169 "� And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and
went behind them ; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and
stood behind them : and it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of
Israel ; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to
these : so that the one came not near the other all the night. � And Moses
stretched out his hand over the sea ; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a
strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were
divided. 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. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea,
even all Pharaoh�s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And it came to pass,
that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through
the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, and
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. � 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. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea
returned to his strength when the morning appeared ; and the Egyptians fled against
it ; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters
returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh
that came into the sea after them ; there remained not so much as one of them. 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. � Thus the
Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians ; and Israel saw the
Egyptians dead upon the seashore. "
34516 "� And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward
the south, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
And he arose and went : and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority
under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and
had come to Jerusalem for to worship, was returning, and sitting in his chariot
read Isaiah the prophet. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join
thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the
prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest ? And he said, How
can I, except some man should guide me ? And he desired Philip that he would come
up and sit with him. The place of the Scripture which he read was this, He was led
as a sheep to the slaughter ; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he
not his mouth : in his humiliation his judgment was taken away : and who shall
declare his generation ? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch
answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this ? of
himself, or of some other man ? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same
Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came
unto a certain water : and the eunuch said, See, here is water ; what doth hinder
me to be baptized ? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou
mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. "
4781 "� And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them ; and he departed. And
the cloud departed from off the tabernacle ; and, behold, Miriam became leprous,
white as snow : and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. And
Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us,
wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. Let her not be as one
dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother�s womb.
And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. 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 out from the camp seven days, and after that
let her be received in again. And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days :
and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. And afterward the
people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran. "
30938 � And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all
things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And he said 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. And they departed
into a desert place by ship privately.
32604 "� And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord
said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine
tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea ; and it
should obey you. "
32114 "� And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had
done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to
the city called Bethsaida. And the people, when they knew it, followed him : and he
received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had
need of healing. And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and
said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country
round about, and lodge, and get victuals : for we are here in a desert place. But
he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five
loaves and two fishes ; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. For
they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down
by fifties in a company. And they did so, and made them all sit down. Then 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. And they did eat, and
were all filled : and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve
baskets. "
7784 "� And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of
Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons
of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of silver ; and it became the
inheritance of the children of Joseph. "
677 "� And the boys grew : and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field ;
and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. And Isaac loved Esau, because he did
eat of his venison : but Rebekah loved Jacob. � And Jacob sod pottage : and Esau
came from the field, and he was faint : 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 [red]. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold,
I am at the point to die : and what profit shall this birthright do to me ? And
Jacob said, Swear to me this day ; and he sware unto him : and he sold his
birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils ; and he
did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his
birthright. "
34938 "� And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea
: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble
than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of
mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore
many of them believed ; also of honorable women which were Greeks, and of men, not
a few. But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was
preached of Paul at Beroea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people. And
then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea : but
Silas and Timothy abode there still. And they that conducted Paul brought him unto
Athens : and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy for to come to him with
all speed, they departed. "
32772 "� And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on
him ; and they feared the people : for they perceived that he had spoken this
parable against them. "
476 "� And the child grew, and was weaned : and Abraham made a great feast the
same day that Isaac was weaned. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which
she had borne unto Abraham, mocking. 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. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham�s sight because
of his son. 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 hath said unto thee,
hearken unto her voice ; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. And also of the
son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. 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. "
12858 "� And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan
unto Salcah : Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in
Bashan. And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and
Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven. These are
the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the
son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz ; Ahi the
son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers. And they dwelt
in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their
borders. All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of
Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel. "
7905 "� And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord : and
the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done
evil in the sight of the Lord. And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and
Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. So the
children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. � But when the
children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud
the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left-handed : and by him the children of Israel
sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab. But Ehud made him a dagger which had
two edges, of a cubit length ; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right
thigh. And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab : and Eglon was a very
fat man. And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people
that bare the present. But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by
Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king : who said, Keep
silence. And all that stood by him went out from him. And Ehud came unto him ; and
he was sitting in a summer parlor, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I
have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. And Ehud put forth
his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his
belly : and the haft also went in after the blade ; and the fat closed upon the
blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly ; and the dirt came
out. Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon
him, and locked them. "
8205 "� And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and
served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the
gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the
Philistines, and forsook the Lord, and served not him. And the anger of the Lord
was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and
into the hands of the children of Ammon. And that year they vexed and oppressed the
children of Israel : eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the
other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. Moreover the
children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against
Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim ; so that Israel was sore distressed. �
And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against
thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. And the Lord
said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and
from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines ? The
Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you ; and ye
cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. Yet ye have forsaken me, and
served other gods : wherefore I will deliver you no more. Go and cry unto the gods
which ye have chosen ; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. And
the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned : do thou unto us
whatsoever seemeth good unto thee ; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. And
they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the Lord : and his soul
was grieved for the misery of Israel. "
7891 "� And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat
the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves. Therefore the anger of the
Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim
king of Mesopotamia : and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight
years. And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a
deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of
Kenaz, Caleb�s younger brother. And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he
judged Israel, and went out to war : and the Lord delivered Chushan-rishathaim king
of Mesopotamia into his hand ; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim. "
7862 � And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served
Baalim : and they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of
the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were
round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.
And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
2099 "� And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six
hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. And a mixed multitude went
up also with them ; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 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 victuals. � Now the sojourning of the children of
Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass
at the end of the 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. 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 observed of all the children of Israel in
their generations. � And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance
of the passover : There shall no stranger eat thereof : but every man�s servant
that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat
thereof. A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof. 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. All the congregation of Israel shall keep
it. "
5120 "� And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth. And they
journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before
Moab, toward the sunrising. From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of
Zared. From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is
in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites : for Arnon is the
border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. Wherefore it is said in the book of
the wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon, and
at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon
the border of Moab. � And from thence they went to Beer : that is the well whereof
the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well ; sing ye unto it : the princes
digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the
lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah : and
from Mattanah to Nahaliel : and from Nahaliel to Bamoth : and from Bamoth in the
valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward
Jeshimon. "
5090 "� And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from
Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount
Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying, 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 water of Meribah. Take Aaron
and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor : 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. And Moses did as the Lord commanded : and they went up
into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 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. And when all the
congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all
the house of Israel. "
7815 "� And the children of the Kenite, Moses� father-in-law, went up out of the
city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which
lieth in the south of Arad ; and they went and dwelt among the people. And Judah
went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath,
and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah. Also Judah
took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron
with the coast thereof. And the Lord was with Judah ; and he drave out the
inhabitants of the mountain ; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the
valley, because they had chariots of iron. And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as
Moses said : and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak. "
14328 � And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to 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. And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was
executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the
sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them. And he
sought Ahaziah : and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him
to Jehu : and when they had slain him, they buried him : Because, said they, he is
the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all heart. So the house of Ahaziah
had no power to keep still the kingdom.
29779 "� And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in
parables ? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever
hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance : but whosoever hath
not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in
parables : because they seeing see not ; and hearing they hear not, neither do they
understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, "
30740 "� And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast : and they
come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but
thy disciples fast not ? And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the
bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them ? as long as they have the
bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But the days will come, when the bridegroom
shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. No man also
seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment ; else the new piece that filled it
up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man putteth new
wine into old bottles ; else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is
spilled, and the bottles will be marred : but new wine must be put into new
bottles. "
31972 � And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. And John calling
unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should
come ? or look we for another ?
31389 "� And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his
disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest
eat the passover ? And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them,
Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water :
follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The
Master saith, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my
disciples ? And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared : there
make ready for us. And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found
as he had said unto them : and they made ready the passover. � And in the evening
he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say
unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be
sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I ? and another said, Is it I ?
And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me
in the dish. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him : but woe to that
man by whom the Son of man is betrayed ! good were it for that man if he had never
been born. � And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and
gave to them, and said, Take, eat ; this is my body. "
25923 "� And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon
he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen,
which had the writer�s inkhorn by his side ; 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. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him
through the city, and smite : let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity : slay
utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women : but come not
near any man upon whom is the mark ; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at
the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the
house, and fill the courts with the slain : go ye forth. And they went forth, and
slew in the city. And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was
left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God ! wilt thou
destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem ? �
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 perverseness : for they
say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not. And as for me also,
mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way
upon their head. � And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn
by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. "
25786 "� 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. Then I arose, and went
forth into the plain : and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory
which I saw by the river of Chebar : and I fell on my face. Then the spirit entered
into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut
thyself within thine house. But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands
upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them :
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. 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. "
7830 "� And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el : and the Lord
was with them. And the house of Joseph sent to descry Beth-el. (Now the name of the
city before was Luz.) And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they
said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show
thee mercy. And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city
with the edge of the sword ; but they let go the man and all his family. 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. "
33149 "� And the Jews� passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and
found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of
money sitting : and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all
out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen ; and poured out the changers�
money, and overthrew the tables ; and said unto them that sold doves, Take these
things hence ; make not my Father�s house a house of merchandise. And his disciples
remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. Then
answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that
thou doest these things ? "
9899 � And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the
inhabitants of the land : which spake unto David, saying,
12571 "� And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the
Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant. Surely there was not
holden 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 ; but in the eighteenth
year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the Lord in Jerusalem. "
12549 "� And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the
second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the
Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the
host of heaven : and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and
carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el. 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. And he brought out the grove 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 children of the
people. And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of
the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove. "
12326 "� And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and
from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of
Samaria instead of the children of Israel : and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt
in the cities thereof. And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that
they feared not the Lord : therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which slew
some of them. Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations
which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner
of the God of the land : therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they
slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land. Then the king
of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from
thence ; and let them go and "
263 � And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the
slaughter of Chedorlaomer and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of
Shaveh, which is the king�s dale. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread
and wine : and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and
said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth : and
blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And
he gave him tithes of all. And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the
persons, and take the goods to thyself.
4708 "� And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary : and the other did
set up the tabernacle against they came. And the standard of the camp of the
children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies : and over his host was
Elishama the son of Ammihud. And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. � And the standard of the camp
of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rearward of all the camps
throughout their hosts : and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of
Enan. Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their
armies, when they set forward. � And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel 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. And he said unto him, I will not go ; but
I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. And he said, Leave us not, I
pray thee ; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and
thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it
shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto
thee. � And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days� journey : and the
ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days� journey, to
search out a resting place for them. And the cloud of the Lord was upon them by
day, when they went out of the camp. "
7680 "� And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto
their fathers ; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. And the Lord gave them
rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers : and there
stood not a man of all their enemies before them ; the Lord delivered all their
enemies into their hand. There failed not aught of any good thing which the Lord
had spoken unto the house of Israel ; all came to pass. "
28423 "� 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 grief. So Jonah was
exceeding glad of the gourd. But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next
day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. And it came to pass, when the sun did
arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind ; and the sun beat upon the head of
Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me
to die than to live. 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. Then said the Lord,
Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not labored, neither
madest it grow ; which came up in a night, and perished in a night : and should not
I spare 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 ? "
24140 "� And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it : then thou
showedest me their doings. But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the
slaughter ; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us
destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of
the living, that his name may be no more remembered. 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. � Therefore thus saith the Lord
of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the
Lord, that thou die not by our hand : 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 : and there shall be no remnant of them : for I
will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation. "
5799 "� And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware,
saying, Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that
good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers, 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. Also the Lord
was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither. But
Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither :
encourage him : for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. Moreover your little ones,
which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no
knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I
give it, and they shall possess it. But as for you, turn you, and take your journey
into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. "
1955 � 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. And it shall become small dust in 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.
6868 "� And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die
: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I
may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the
tabernacle of the congregation. And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar
of a cloud : and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. �
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 gods of the strangers of the land,
whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which
I have made with them. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and
I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured,
and many evils and troubles shall befall them ; so that they will say in that day,
Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us ? And I will
surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in
that they are turned unto other gods. Now therefore write ye this song for you, and
teach it the children of Israel : put it in their mouths, that this song may be a
witness for me against the children of Israel. For when I shall have brought them
into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth 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 provoke me, and break my covenant. And it
shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song
shall testify against them as a witness ; for it shall not be forgotten out of the
mouths of their seed : for I know their imagination which they go about, even now,
before I have brought them into the land which I sware. Moses therefore wrote this
song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. "
5382 "� And the Lord said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see
the land which I have given unto the children of Israel. And when thou hast seen
it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the
congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes : that is the water of
Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying,
Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead
them out, and which may bring them in ; that "
4397 "� And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the
children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the Lord) instead of all the firstborn
among the children of Israel ; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the
firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. And Moses numbered, as the
Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel. And all the
firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that
were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and
thirteen. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the Levites instead of all
the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead
of their cattle ; and the Levites shall be mine : I am the Lord. And for those that
are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn
of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites ; thou shalt even take
five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take
them : (the shekel is twenty gerahs :) and thou shalt give the money, wherewith the
odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. And Moses took
the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by
the Levites : of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money ; a
thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary : "
1882 � And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh�s heart is hardened, he refuseth to
let the people go.
1926 "� 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 "
1968 "� And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand
before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my
people go, that they may serve me. For I will at 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. For now I will stretch out my hand,
that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence ; and thou shalt be cut off
from the earth. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to show
in thee my power ; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. As
yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go ?
Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such
as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now. Send
therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field ; for
upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be
brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. He that
feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his
cattle flee into the houses : and he that regarded not the word of the Lord left
his servants and his cattle in the field. "
1924 "� And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and
smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of
Egypt. And they did so ; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote
the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast ; all the dust of
the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so
with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not : so there were
lice upon man, and upon beast. 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 said. "
1982 "� 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. And Moses stretched forth
his rod toward heaven : and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along
upon the ground ; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt. So there was
hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it
in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 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. Only in the land
of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail. � 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. Entreat the Lord (for it is
enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail ; and I will let you go,
and ye shall stay no longer. And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of
the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the Lord ; and the thunder shall
cease, neither shall there be any more hail ; that thou mayest know how that the
earth is the Lord�s. But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet
fear the Lord God. And the flax and the barley was smitten : for the barley was in
the ear, and the flax was bolled. But the wheat and the rye were not smitten : for
they were not grown up. 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. "
2025 "� 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. And
Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven ; and there was a thick darkness in
all the land of Egypt three days : 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. 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.
And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may
sacrifice unto the Lord our God. Our cattle also shall go with us ; there shall not
a 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. But the Lord
hardened Pharaoh�s heart, and he would not let them go. And Pharaoh said unto him,
Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more ; for in that day thou
seest my face thou shalt die. And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy
face again no more. "
2942 "� 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. 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
[heb. words]. � And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the
two tables of testimony in Moses� hand, when he came down from the mount, that
Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 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. And Moses called unto them ; and
Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him : and Moses talked
with them. 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. And till Moses
had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. "
4838 "� And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word : but as truly as
I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. Because all those
men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the
wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my
voice ; surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers,
neither shall any of them that provoked me see it : "
32901 � And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you,
that he may sift you as wheat : but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not
: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. And he said unto him, Lord,
I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell
thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny
that thou knowest me.
7106 � And the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, Command the priests that bear the
ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan. Joshua therefore commanded
the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan. 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 land,
that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks,
as they did before. � And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the
first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho. And those
twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal. 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 ? then ye shall let your
children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. 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 gone over : that all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord,
that it is mighty : that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.
1880 "� And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall
speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you : then thou shalt say unto Aaron,
Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. 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. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers : now the
magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they
cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents : but Aaron�s rod swallowed
up their rods. And he hardened Pharaoh�s heart, that he hearkened not unto them ;
as the Lord had said. "
5646 "� And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are
passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan ; then ye shall drive out all the
inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and
destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places : and
ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein : for I have
given you the land to possess it. And ye shall divide the land by lot for an
inheritance among your families ; and to the more ye shall give the more
inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance : every man�s
inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth ; according to the tribes
of your fathers ye shall inherit. But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of
the land from before you ; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let
remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall
vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall
do unto you, as I thought to do unto them. "
4365 "� And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, Number
the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families : every
male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. And Moses numbered them
according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded. And these were the sons of
Levi by their names ; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. And these are the names of
the sons of Gershon by their families ; Libni, and Shimei. And the sons of Kohath
by their families ; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. And the sons of Merari
by their families ; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites
according to the house of their fathers. � Of Gershon was the family of the
Libnites, and the family of the Shimites : these are the families of the
Gershonites. Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the
males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were
seven thousand and five hundred. The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind
the tabernacle westward. And the chief of the house of the father of the
Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael. And the charge of the sons of
Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the
tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the
court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of
it, for all the service thereof. � And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites,
and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family
of the Uzzielites : these are the families of the Kohathites. "
6949 "� And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, Get thee up into
this mountain 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 : 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 : because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at
the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin ; because ye sanctified me
not in the midst of the children of Israel. Yet thou shalt see the land before thee
; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.

3367 "� And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command Aaron and his sons, saying,
This is the law of the burnt offering : It is the burnt offering, because of the
burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall
be burning in it. And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen
breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath
consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the
altar. And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry
forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place. And the fire upon the altar
shall be burning in it ; it shall not be put out : and the priest shall burn wood
on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it ; and he shall
burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. The fire shall ever be burning upon
the altar ; it shall never go out. � And this is the law of the meat offering : The
sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord, before the altar. And he shall take
of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and
all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the
altar for a sweet savor, even the memorial of it, unto the Lord. "
2827 "� And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children
of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep : for it is a sign between me
and you throughout your generations ; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth
sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore ; for it is holy unto you. Every
one that defileth it shall surely be put to death : for whosoever doeth any work
therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be
done ; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord : whosoever
doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the
children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their
generations, for a perpetual covenant. 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. "
4535 � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons,
saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, The
Lord bless thee, and keep thee : the Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be
gracious unto thee : the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless
them.

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 the borders a
ribband of blue : 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 seek not
after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring : that
ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. I am the
Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God : I am

of his wife, and she be defiled ; or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and

wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an
ephah of barley meal ; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon ;

and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering : and
the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse : "
When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against
the Lord, and that person be guilty ; then they shall confess their sin which they
have done : and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and
add unto it "
4626 "� And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the Levites from among the
children of Israel, and cleanse them. And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse
them : Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh,
and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. Then let them take a
young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another
young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering. And thou shalt bring the Levites
before the tabernacle of the congregation : and thou shalt gather the whole
assembly of the children of Israel together. And thou shalt bring the Levites
before the Lord : and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites
: and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord for an offering of the children
of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord. And the Levites shall lay
their hands upon the heads of the bullocks : and thou shalt offer the one for a sin
offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the Lord, to make an atonement
for the Levites. And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons,
and offer them for an offering unto the Lord. � Thus shalt thou separate the
Levites from among the children of Israel : and the Levites shall be mine. And
after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation : and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering. For
they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel ; instead of such
as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel,
have I taken them unto me. "
2779 "� And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Thou shalt also make a laver of
brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal : and thou shalt put it between
the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat : when they go
into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die
not ; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by
fire unto the Lord : 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. "
5351 � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Unto these the land shall be divided
for an inheritance according to the number of names. To many thou shalt give the
more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance : to every one
shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.
Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot : according to the names of the
tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. According to the lot shall the
possession thereof be divided between many and few.
17088 "� And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends :
also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then came there unto him
all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his
acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house : and they bemoaned
him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him : every
man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. So the Lord
blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning : for he had fourteen
thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a
thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. And he called the
name of the first, Jemima ; and the name of the second, Kezia ; and the name of the
third, Keren-happuch. "
375 "� And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom : and Abraham
went with them to bring them on the way. And the Lord said, Shall I hide from
Abraham that thing which I do ; seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and
mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him ? For I
know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they
shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment ; that the Lord may
bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. And the Lord said, Because the
cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, 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. � And the men turned their faces
from thence, and went toward Sodom : but Abraham stood yet before the Lord. "
32940 � And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had
blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who
is it that smote thee ? And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
4863 � And the men which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all
the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague
before the Lord. But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which
were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
34324 "� And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one
soul : neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his
own ; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles
witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus : and great grace was upon them all.
Neither was there any among them that lacked : for as many as were possessors of
lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and
laid them down at the apostles� feet : and distribution was made unto every man
according as he had need. And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,
(which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country
of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the
apostles� feet. "
5556 � And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of
thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses : 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. We have therefore brought an oblation
for the Lord, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets,
rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
And all the gold of the 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. (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) And
Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of
hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial
for the children of Israel before the Lord.
31040 � And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of
him a sign from heaven, tempting him. And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and
saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign ? verily I say unto you, There
shall no sign be given unto this generation. And he left them, and entering into
the ship again departed to the other side.
12477 � And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a
pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the
book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? And Hezekiah slept with his
fathers : and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
11184 � And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom,
are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon ? And the time that Solomon
reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. And Solomon slept with his
fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father : and Rehoboam his son
reigned in his stead.
30843 � And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass
over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him
even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
35033 "� And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. For a certain
man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no
small gain unto the craftsmen ; whom he called together with the workmen of like
occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. Moreover
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 : so that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at
nought ; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised,
and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
� And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out,
saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the whole city was filled with
confusion : and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul�s
companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater. And when Paul
would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. And certain
of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he
would not adventure himself into the theater. Some therefore cried one thing, and
some another : for the assembly was confused ; and the more part knew not wherefore
they were come together. "
39338 "� And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea ; and it became as
the blood of a dead man : and every living soul died in the sea. � And the third
angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters ; and they became
blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which
art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the
blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink ; for they
are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty,
true and righteous are thy judgments. � And the fourth angel poured out his vial
upon the sun ; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were
scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over
these plagues : and they repented not to give him glory. � And the fifth angel
poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast ; and his kingdom was full of
darkness ; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, and blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. � And the
sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates ; and the water
thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And
I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out
of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are
the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth
and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together
into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. "
39161 "� And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to
sound. � The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with
blood, and they were cast upon the earth : and the third part of trees was burnt
up, and all green grass was burnt up. � 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 ; and the third part of the creatures which were in the
sea, and had life, died ; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. � And the
third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a
lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of
waters ; 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. � And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten,
and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars ; so as the third
part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the
night likewise. � And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by
reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to
sound ! "
39354 "� And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air ; and there came a
great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And
there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings ; and there was a great earthquake,
such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so
great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the
nations fell : and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her
the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away,
and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of
heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent : and men blasphemed God because
of the plague of the hail ; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. "
39235 "� And the seventh angel sounded ; and there were great voices in heaven,
saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his
Christ ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders,
which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to
come ; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the
nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they
should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the
prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great ; and
shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. � And the temple of God was opened
in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament : and there
were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. "
32203 "� And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are
subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as
lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy ; and nothing shall by any means
hurt you. "
4069 "� And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went
out among the children of Israel : and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man
of Israel strove together in the camp ; and the Israelitish woman�s son blasphemed
the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses : (and his
mother�s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan :) and they
put him in ward, that the mind of the Lord might be showed them. � And the Lord
spake unto Moses, saying, 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. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever
curseth his God shall bear his sin. And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord,
he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him
: as "
12977 "� And the sons of Ephraim ; Shuthelah, and Bered his son, and Tahath his
son, and Eladah his son, and Tahath his son, and Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his
son, and Ezer, and Elead, whom the men of Gath that were born in that land slew,
because they came down to take away their cattle. And Ephraim their father mourned
many days, and his brethren came to comfort him. And when he went in to his wife,
she conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Beriah, because it went evil
with his house. (And his daughter was Sherah, who built Beth-horon the nether, and
the upper, and Uzzen-sherah.) And Rephah was his son, also Resheph, and Telah his
son, and Tahan his son, Laadan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son, Non his
son, Jehoshuah his son. And their possessions and habitations were, Beth-el and the
towns thereof, and eastward Naaran, and westward Gezer, with the towns thereof ;
Shechem also and the towns thereof, unto Gaza and the towns thereof : and by the
borders of the children of Manasseh, Beth-shean and her towns, Taanach and her
towns, Megiddo and her towns, Dor and her towns. In these dwelt the children of
Joseph the son of Israel. "
122 "� And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and
Japheth : and Ham is the father of Canaan. These are the three sons of Noah : and
of them was the whole earth overspread. � And Noah began to be a husbandman, and he
planted a vineyard : and he drank of the wine, and was drunken ; and he was
uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his
father, and told his two brethren without. 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. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done
unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan ; a servant of servants shall he be unto
his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem ; and Canaan shall be
his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem ;
and Canaan shall be his servant. � And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and
fifty years. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years : and he
died. "
1318 "� And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his
servants. And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a
man in whom the Spirit of God is ? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God
hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art : 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. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See,
I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his
hand, and put it upon Joseph�s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and
put a gold chain about his neck ; and he made him to ride in the second chariot
which he had ; and they cried before him, Bow the knee : and he made him ruler over
all the land of Egypt. "
9116 "� And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked ; and, behold, the
multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another. 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 armor-bearer were not there. And
Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that
time with the children of Israel. And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the
priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and
increased : and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand. And Saul and all
the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle :
and, behold, every man�s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great
discomfiture. Moreover, the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that
time, 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. Likewise
all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard
that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
So the Lord saved Israel that day : and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven. �
And the men of Israel were distressed that day : for Saul had adjured the people,
saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged
on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food. And all they of the land
came to a wood ; and there was honey upon the ground. And when the people were come
into the wood, behold, the honey dropped ; but no man put his hand to his mouth :
for the people feared the oath. 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 "
491 "� And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of
the shrubs. 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 see the death of the child. And she sat
over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. 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. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand ; for I will make him a
great nation. 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. And God was with the
lad ; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. And he dwelt
in the wilderness of Paran : and his mother took him a wife out of the land of
Egypt. "
11414 � And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
28957 "� And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Take of them of the
captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon,
and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah ;
then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua
the son of Josedech, the high priest ; 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 : 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. 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. � 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. "
28971 "� And the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah, saying, Thus speaketh the
Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassions every
man to his brother : 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.
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears,
that they should not hear. Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest
they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in "
30710 "� And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him,
and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with
compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will ; be
thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from
him, and he was cleansed. And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him
away ; and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man : but go thy way, show
thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses
commanded, for a testimony unto them. But he went out, and began to publish it
much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly
enter into the city, but was without in desert places : and they came to him from
every quarter. "
39474 � And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials
full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will
show thee the bride, the Lamb�s wife.

about his naked body ; and the young men laid hold on him : and he left the linen
cloth, and fled from them naked. "
34799 "� And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a
cripple from his mother�s womb, who never had walked : the same heard Paul speak :
who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said
with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. And when
the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the
speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they
called Barnabas, Jupiter ; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands
unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the
apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among
the people, crying out, and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things ? We also are men
of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these
vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all
things that are therein : who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their
own ways. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good,
and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food
and gladness. And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they
had not done sacrifice unto them. � And there came thither certain Jews from
Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him
out of the city, supposing he had been dead. Howbeit, as the disciples stood round
about him, he rose up, and came into the city : and the next day he departed with
Barnabas to Derbe. "

and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity ; the sea and the waves
roaring ; "
34546 "� And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias ; and to him
said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the
Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and
inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus : for, behold, he
prayeth, and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his
hand on him, that he might receive his sight. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have
heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem :
and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy
name. 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 : for I
will show him how great things he must suffer for my name�s sake. And Ananias went
his way, and entered into the house ; and putting his hands on him said, Brother
Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath
sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales : and he received
sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. And when he had received meat, he was
strengthened. "
201 "� And there was a famine in the land : and Abram went down into Egypt to
sojourn there ; for the famine was grievous in the land. "
32883 "� And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted
the greatest. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship
over them ; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But
ye shall not be so : but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger ;
and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that
sitteth at meat, or he that serveth ? is not he that sitteth at meat ? but I am
among you as he that serveth. � Ye are they which have continued with me in my
temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto
me ; "
11334 "� And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
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. 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 Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king
of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, There is a league between me and thee,
and between my father and thy father : behold, I have sent unto thee a present of
silver and gold ; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may
depart from me. So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the
hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-
beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. And it came to
pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in
Tirzah. "
32498 � And there went great multitudes with him : and he turned, and said unto
them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my
disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first,
and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it ? Lest haply, after
he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin
to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what
king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and
consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him
with twenty thousand ? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth
an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you
that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
33733 � And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the
feast : the same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and
desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew :
and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour
is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
31662 "� And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and
the glory of the Lord shone round about them ; and they were sore afraid. And the
angel said unto them, Fear not : for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you ; Ye
shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly
there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. � And it
came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds
said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is
come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and
found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it,
they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. "
22800 "� 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. For the people shall
dwell in Zion at Jerusalem : thou shalt weep no more : he will be very gracious
unto thee at the voice of thy cry ; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. And
though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet
shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see
thy teachers : 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 ye turn to the left.
Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament
of thy molten images of gold : thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth ;
thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. � Then shall he give the rain of thy seed,
that thou shalt sow the ground withal ; and bread of the increase of the earth, and
it shall be fat and plenteous : in that day shall thy cattle feed in large
pastures. The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean
provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. And there
shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of
waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. "
648 "� And these are the days of the years of Abraham�s life which he lived, a
hundred threescore and fifteen years. Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a
good old age, an old man, and full of years ; and was gathered to his people. And
his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of
Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre ; the field which
Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth : there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his
wife. And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son
Isaac ; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi. "
663 "� And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham�s son : Abraham begat
Isaac : and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of
Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. And Isaac
entreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren : and the Lord was
entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled
together within her ; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus ? And she went to
inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and
two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels ; and the one people shall
be stronger than the other people ; "

the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the
Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath
begat Amram. And the name of Amram�s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom
her mother bare to Levi in Egypt : and she bare unto Amram, Aaron and Moses, and
Miriam their sister. And unto Aaron was born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the Lord.

in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon. Saul also and his
men went to seek him. And they told David : wherefore he came down into a rock, and
abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David
in the wilderness of Maon. 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. But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come ; for the
Philistines have invaded the land. Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after
David, and went against the Philstines : therefore they called that place
Selahammahlekoth [the rock of divisions]. And David went up from thence, and dwelt
in strongholds at Engedi. "
32052 � And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against
Galilee. And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain
man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house,
but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and
with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most
high ? I beseech thee, torment me not.
32659 � And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them : but when
his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said,
Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for of such is the
kingdom of God.
31157 "� And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them ; and
his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much
displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not ; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not
enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and
blessed them. "
31407 "� And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane : and he saith to his
disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. And he taketh with him Peter and James
and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy ; and saith unto them,

forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the
hour might pass from him. "
31207 "� And they came to Jericho : and as he went out of Jericho with his
disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by
the highway side begging. 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. And many charged
him that he should hold his peace : but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of
David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And
they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise ; he calleth
thee. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered
and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee ? The blind man said
unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy
way ; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and
followed Jesus in the way. "
31255 "� 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, and say unto
him, By what authority doest thou these things ? and who gave thee this authority
to do these things ? And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you
one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these
things. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men ? answer me. And they
reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven ; he will say, Why
then did ye not believe him ? But if we shall say, Of men ; they feared the
people : for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. And they answered
and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither
do I tell you by what authority I do these things. "

country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. And they bring him
unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. And
they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh : but he received it not. And when
they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what
every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the
superscription of his accusation was written over, The king of the jews. And with
him they crucify two thieves ; the one on his right hand, and the other on his
left. And the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the
transgressors. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and
saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save
thyself, and come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking said
among themselves with the scribes, He saved others ; himself he cannot save. Let
Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.
And they that were crucified with him reviled him. � And when the sixth hour was
come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. "
31110 "� And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee ; and he would not
that any man should know it. "
35192 "� And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their
voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth : for it is not fit that
he should live. And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust
into the air, the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and
bade that he should be examined by scourging ; that he might know wherefore they
cried so against him. And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the
centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and
uncondemned ? When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain,
saying, Take heed what thou doest ; for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain
came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman ? He said, Yea. And the chief
captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I
was free-born. Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined
him : and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and
because he had bound him. "
19 "� And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day : and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God
amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto
him, Where art thou ? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was
afraid, because I was naked ; and I hid myself. 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 ? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is
this that thou hast done ? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did
eat. � And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou
art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field ; upon thy belly
shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life : 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. 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. 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 sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of
thy life ; "
1084 "� And they journeyed from Beth-el ; and there was but a little way to come
to Ephrath : and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor. And it came to pass,
when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not ; thou shalt
have this son also. And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she
died,) that she called his name Benoni [the son of my sorrow] : but his father
called him Benjamin [the son of the right hand]. And Rachel died, and was buried in
the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave :
that is the pillar of Rachel�s grave unto this day. And Israel journeyed, and
spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. "
5108 "� And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass
the land of Edom : and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the
way. 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, neither is
there any water ; and our soul loatheth this light bread. And the Lord sent fiery
serpents among the people, and they bit the people ; and much people of Israel
died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for 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. And the Lord said unto
Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole : and it shall come to
pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses
made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole ; and it came to pass, that if a
serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. "
31441 "� And they led Jesus away to the high priest : and with him were assembled
all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. And Peter followed him afar
off, even into the palace of the high priest : and he sat with the servants, and
warmed himself at the fire. And the chief priests and all the council sought for
witness against Jesus to put him to death ; and found none. For many bare false
witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. And there arose
certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, We heard him say, I will
destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build
another made without hands. But neither so did their witness agree together. And
the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou
nothing ? what is it which these witness against thee ? But he held his peace, and
answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the
Christ, the Son of the Blessed ? And Jesus said, I am : and ye shall see the Son of
man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then
the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses ?
Ye have heard the blasphemy : what think ye ? And they all condemned him to be
guilty of death. "
31869 "� And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make
prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees ; but thine eat and drink ?
And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the
bridegroom is with them ? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be
taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. And he spake also a
parable unto them ; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old ; if
otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the
new agreeth not with the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles ; else
the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
But new wine must be put into new bottles ; and both are preserved. No man also
having drunk old wine straightway desireth new ; for he saith, The old is better. "
31272 "� And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to
catch him in his words. And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know
that thou art true, and carest for no man ; for thou regardest not the person of
men, but teachest the way of God in truth : Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar,
or not ? 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. And they
brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription ? And
they said unto him, Caesar�s. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar
the things that are Caesar�s, and to God the things that are God�s. And they
marveled at him. "
2534 "� And they shall make an ark of shittim wood : two cubits and a half shall
be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and
a half the height thereof. And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and
without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners
thereof ; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other
side of it. And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark
may be borne with them. The staves shall be in the rings of the ark : they shall
not be taken from it. And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall
give thee. And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold : two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. And thou
shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two
ends of the mercy seat. "
2660 "� And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen. And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet,
and fine twined linen, with cunning work. It shall have the two shoulderpieces
thereof joined at the two edges thereof ; and so it shall be joined together. And
the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according
to the work thereof ; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
twined linen. And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of
the children of Israel : six of their names on one stone, and the other six names
of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth. With the work of an
engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two
stones with the names of the children of Israel : thou shalt make them to be set in
ouches of gold. And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod
for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel : and Aaron shall bear their
names before the Lord upon his two shoulders for a memorial. And thou shalt make
ouches of gold ; and two chains of pure gold at the ends ; of wreathed work shalt
thou make them, and fasten the wreathed chains to the ouches. � And thou shalt make
the breastplate of judgment with cunning work ; after the work of the ephod thou
shalt make it ; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined
linen, shalt thou make it. Foursquare it shall be being doubled ; a span shall be
the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof. And thou shalt set in
it settings of stones, even four rows of stones : the first row shall be a sardius,
a topaz, and a carbuncle : this shall be the first row. And the second row shall be
an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an
amethyst. "
30520 "� And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high
priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. But Peter followed him
afar off unto the high priest�s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to
see the end. Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false
witness against Jesus, to put him to death ; but found none : yea, though many
false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
and said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it
in three days. And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou
nothing ? what is it which these witness against thee ? But Jesus held his peace.
And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God,
that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto him,
Thou hast said : nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man
sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the
high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy ; what further need
have we of witnesses ? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye ?
They answered and said, He is guilty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and
buffeted him ; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, saying,
Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee ? "
9792 � And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that
buried Saul. And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said
unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have showed this kindness unto your
lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him. And now the Lord show kindness and truth
unto you : and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this
thing. Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant : for your
master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
30678 "� And they went into Capernaum ; and straightway on the sabbath day he
entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at his doctrine :
for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. "
11556 "� 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. 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 of Samaria. And he said, Whether
they be come out for peace, take them alive ; or whether they be come out for war,
take them alive. � So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of
the city, and the army which followed them. And they slew every one his man : and
the Syrians fled ; and Israel pursued them : and Ben-hadad the king of Syria
escaped on a horse with the horsemen. And the king of Israel went out, and smote
the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter. � And the
prophet came 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. � And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him,
Their gods are gods of the hills ; therefore they were stronger than we ; but let
us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And
do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in
their rooms : 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. � And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the
Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel. And the children of Israel
were numbered, and were all present, and went against them : and the children of
Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids ; but the Syrians filled
the country. "
31190 "� And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem ; and Jesus went before
them : and they were amazed ; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took
again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem ; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto
the chief priests, and unto the scribes ; and they shall condemn him to death, and
shall deliver him to the Gentiles : and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him,
and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him ; and the third day he shall rise
again. "
2070 "� 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. 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.
And in the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and in the seventh day
there shall be a holy convocation to you ; no manner of work shall be done in them,
save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. And ye shall
observe the feast of unleavened bread ; for in this selfsame day have I brought
your armies out of the land of Egypt : therefore shall ye observe this day in your
generations by an ordinance for ever. 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. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses :
for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from
the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Ye shall
eat nothing leavened ; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. �
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and
take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. And ye shall
take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike
the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin ; and none of
you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 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. "
6443 "� And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may
live : Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past ; as
when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbor 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 neighbor, that he die ; he shall flee unto one of those
cities, and live : lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart
is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him ; whereas he was
not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. Wherefore I command
thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. And if the Lord thy God
enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land
which he promised to give unto thy fathers ; if thou shalt keep all these
commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the Lord thy God,
and to walk ever in his ways ; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee,
beside these three : that innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the Lord
thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. � But if any man
hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him
mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities ; 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. Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away
the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. � Thou
shalt not remove thy neighbor�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. "
5959 "� And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel : these
are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto
the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt, on this side 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, after they were come
forth out of Egypt : and they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of
Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the
sunrising ; from Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount
Sion, which is Hermon, and all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto
the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah. "
33099 "� And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites
from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou ? And he confessed, and denied not ; but
confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then ? Art thou Elijah ?
And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet ? And he answered, No. Then said they
unto him, Who art thou ? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What
sayest thou of thyself ? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. � And they which
were sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why
baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that Prophet ?
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water : but there standeth one among
you, whom ye know not ; he it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose
shoelatchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in Bethabara beyond
Jordan, where John was baptizing. "
5874 "� And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by
the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the
Reubenites and to the Gadites. And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the
kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh ; all the region of Argob,
with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. Jair the son of Manasseh took
all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi ; and called them
after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day. And I gave Gilead unto
Machir. And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto
the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which
is the border of the children of Ammon ; the plain also, and Jordan, and the coast
thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under
Ashdothpisgah eastward. � 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 "
2647 � And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure
oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. In the tabernacle
of the congregation without the veil, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his
sons shall order it from evening to morning before the Lord : it shall be a statute
for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
2564 "� And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold : of beaten work shall the
candlestick be made : his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his
flowers, shall be of the same. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it ;
three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the
candlestick out of the other side : three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop
and a flower in one branch ; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch,
with a knop and a flower : so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops
and their flowers. And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a
knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. Their knops and
their branches shall be of the same : all of it shall be one beaten work of pure
gold. And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof : and they shall light the lamps
thereof, that they may give light over against it. And the tongs thereof, and the
snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. Of a talent of pure gold shall he make
it, with all these vessels. And look that thou make them after their pattern, which
was showed thee in the mount. "
2594 "� And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.
Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the
breadth of one board. Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one
against another : thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle. And
thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side
southward. And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards ;
two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board
for his two tenons. And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side
there shall be twenty boards, and their forty sockets of silver ; two sockets under
one board, and two sockets under another board. And for the sides of the tabernacle
westward thou shalt make six boards. And two boards shalt thou make for the corners
of the tabernacle in the two sides. And they shall be coupled together beneath, and
they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring : thus shall it
be for them both ; they shall be for the two corners. And they shall be eight
boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets ; two sockets under one board,
and two sockets under another board. � And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood ;
five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards
of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of
the tabernacle, for the two sides westward. And the middle bar in the midst of the
boards shall reach from end to end. And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold,
and make their rings of gold for places for the bars : and thou shalt overlay the
bars with gold. "

southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of a hundred
cubits long for one side : and the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets

their pillars three, and their sockets three. And for the gate of the court shall
be a hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen, wrought with needlework : and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets
four. All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver ; their

4067 "� And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof : two tenth
deals shall be in one cake. And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon
the pure table before the Lord. And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each
row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto
the Lord. Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being
taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. And it shall be
Aaron�s and his sons� ; and they shall eat it in the holy place : for it is most
holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute. "
15029 "� And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set
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 them that know them not. And
whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be
executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to
confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. � Blessed be the Lord 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 : and hath extended mercy unto me before
the king, and his counselors, and before all the king�s mighty princes. And I was
strengthened as the hand of the Lord my God was upon me, and I gathered together
out of Israel chief men to go up with me. "
13667 "� 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. Take
heed now ; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary : be
strong, and do it. � Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch,
and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers
thereof, and of the inner parlors thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat, and
the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the
Lord, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God,
and of the treasuries of the dedicated things : 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. He gave of gold by weight
for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service ; silver also for
all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service :
even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by
weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof : and for the candlesticks
of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof,
according to the use of every candlestick. And by weight he gave gold for the
tables of showbread, for every table ; and likewise silver for the tables of silver
: also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups : and for the
golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin ; and likewise silver by
weight for every basin of silver : and for the altar of incense refined gold by
weight ; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out
their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord. "

the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach ; even say thou, The sword, the sword
is drawn : for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the
glittering : while they see vanity unto thee, while they divine a lie unto thee, to
bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come,
when their iniquity shall have an end. Shall I cause it to return into his sheath ?
I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy
nativity. And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee ; I will blow against thee
in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful
to destroy. 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. "
39015 "� And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write ; These things saith he
which hath the sharp sword with two edges. � I know thy works, and where thou
dwellest, even where Satan�s seat is : and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not
denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was
slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee,
because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to
cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto
idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of
the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent ; or else I will come unto thee
quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches ; To him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the
stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. "
39046 "� 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 no man shutteth ; and shutteth, and no man openeth. � I know thy works :
behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it : for thou hast
a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I
will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and 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. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will
keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try
them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly : hold that fast which thou
hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out : and I will write upon him the name
of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh
down out of heaven from my God : and I will write upon him my new name. He that
hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. "
7478 "� And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of
Judah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, even the city of Arba
the father of Anak, which city is Hebron. And Caleb drove thence the three sons of
Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. And he went up thence
to the inhabitants of Debir : and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher. And
Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give
Achsah my daughter to wife. And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb,
took it : and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. And it came to pass, as she
came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field : and she lighted
off her ass ; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou ? Who answered, Give me a
blessing ; for thou hast given me a south land ; give me also springs of water. And
he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs. "
9826 "� And unto David were sons born in Hebron : and his firstborn was Amnon, of
Ahinoam the Jezreelitess ; and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal

king of Geshur ; and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith ; and the fifth,
Shephatiah the son of Abital ; and the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David�s wife. These

first and the last, which was dead, and is alive. � I know thy works, and
tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them

those things which thou shalt suffer : behold, the devil shall cast some of you

fine brass. � I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy
patience, and thy works ; and the last to be more than the first. "
39059 "� And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write ; These things
saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of
God. � I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot : I would thou wert
cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with
goods, and have need of nothing ; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked : I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried
in the fire, that thou mayest be rich ; and white raiment, that thou mayest be
clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear ; and anoint thine eyes
with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten : be
zealous therefore, and repent. 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. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even
as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. "
35065 "� And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to
break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow ; and continued
his speech until midnight. And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where
they were gathered together. And there sat in a window a certain young man named
Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep : and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk
down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. And Paul
went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves ; for
his life is in him. When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and
eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. And they
brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted. "

to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he
also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the
firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also
called : and whom he called, them he also justified : and whom he justified, them
he also glorified. � What shall we then say to these things ? If God be for us, who
can be against us ? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us
all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things ? Who shall lay any
thing to the charge of God�s elect ? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that
condemneth ? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even
at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate
us from the love of Christ ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword ? As it is written, For thy sake we are
killed all the day long ; "

3822 "� And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers
that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood ; I will even set my face
against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood ; and I have given it to you upon the
altar to make an atonement for your souls : for it is the blood that maketh an
atonement for the soul. 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. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers
that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be
eaten ; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. � For it
is the life of all flesh ; the blood of it is for 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. And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn
with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even : then
shall he be clean. But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh ; then he shall
bear his iniquity. "
14125 "� And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he
took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and
Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed
the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord. And he gathered all
Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers 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. So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in
the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. And they offered unto
the Lord the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and
seven thousand sheep. And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of
their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul ; that whosoever would
not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great,
whether man or woman. And they sware unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with
shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 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. � And also
concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen,
because she had made an idol in a grove : and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped
it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. But the high places were not taken away out
of Israel : nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. 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. And there was no more war unto the
five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. "
31679 "� And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child,
his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived
in the womb. � And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses
were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord ; (as
it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be
called holy to the Lord ;) 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. And, behold,
there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon ; and the same man was just and
devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel : and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death,
before he had seen the Lord�s Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple :
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of
the law, then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now
lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word : for mine eyes
have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people ; a
light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. � And Joseph
and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him. "
33335 � And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
34985 "� And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with
one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, saying, This fellow
persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. And when Paul was now about to
open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked
lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you : but if it be a
question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it ; for I will be no
judge of such matters. And he drave them from the judgment seat. Then all the
Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the
judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things. � And Paul after this
tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed
thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila ; having shorn his head in
Cenchreae : for he had a vow. And he came to Ephesus, and left them there : but he
himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. When they desired
him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not ; but bade them farewell,
saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem : but I will
return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus. "
31093 "� And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them,
and the scribes questioning with them. And straightway all the people, when they
beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. And he asked the
scribes, What question ye with them ? And one of the multitude answered and said,
Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit ; "
34987 � And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he
went down to Antioch. And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went
over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the
disciples.
32722 � And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
30205 "� 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 ? And Jesus answered and said unto
them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell
you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, whence was it ? from
heaven, or of men ? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
From heaven ; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him ? But if we
shall say, Of men ; we fear the people ; for all hold John as a prophet. And they
answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you
by what authority I do these things. "
29543 � And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes,
there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce,
so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What
have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God ? art thou come hither to torment
us before the time ? And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine
feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go
away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come
out, they went into the herd of swine : and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran
violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
32622 "� And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should
come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation :
neither shall they say, Lo here ! or, lo there ! for, behold, the kingdom of God is
within you. � 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. And they
shall say to you, See here ; or, see there : go not after them, nor follow them.
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth
unto the other part under heaven ; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But
first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. And as it was
in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. "
29710 "� And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue : and,
behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is
it lawful to heal on the sabbath days ? that they might accuse him. And he said
unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it
fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out ?
How much then is a man better than a sheep ? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on
the sabbath days. Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he
stretched it forth ; and it was restored whole, like as the other. "
29541 "� And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And,
behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered
with the waves : but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him,
saying, Lord, save us : we perish. 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. But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even
the winds and the sea obey him ! "

kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit
eternal life ?
34693 "� And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was
sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains : and the keepers before the
door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light
shined in the prison : and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying,
Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto
him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him,
Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him ; and
wist not that it was true which was done by the angel ; but thought he saw a
vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron
gate that leadeth unto the city ; which opened to them of his own accord : and they
went out, and passed on through one street ; and forthwith the angel departed from
him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the
Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out "
29965 � And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to
take bread. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is
because we have taken no bread. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye
of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread ?
Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand,
and how many baskets ye took up ? neither the seven loaves of the four thousand,
and how many baskets ye took up ? How is it that ye do not understand that I spake
it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees ? Then understood they how that he bade them not
beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees.
26100 "� And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I
said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live ; yea, I said unto thee when thou
wast in thy blood, Live. I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field,
and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments :
thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and
bare. � 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. Then washed I thee with water ; yea, I thoroughly washed away
thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. I clothed thee also with
broidered work, and shod thee with badgers� skin, and I girded thee about with fine
linen, and I covered thee with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put
bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy
forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. 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 into a kingdom. And thy renown
went forth among the heathen for thy beauty : for it was perfect through my
comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. � But thou didst trust
in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst
out thy fornications on every one that passed by ; his it was. And of thy garments
thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colors, and playedst the
harlot thereupon : the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so. "

themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they
had killed Paul. And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
31820 � And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place : and the
people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart
from them. And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities
also : for therefore am I sent. And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
35412 "� And when it was day, they knew not the land : but they discovered a
certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible,
to thrust in the ship. And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed
themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail
to the wind, and made toward shore. And falling into a place where two seas met,
they ran the ship aground ; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmovable,
but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. And the soldiers�
counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose ; and
commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and
get to land : and the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship.
And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. "
12025 "� And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it ; and she painted
her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. And as Jehu entered in at
the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master ? 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. 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. "

saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 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 said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying,
According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened ; and Jesus
straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. But they, when they were
departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. "
29523 � And when Jesus was come into Peter�s house, he saw his wife�s mother laid,
and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her : and she
arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many
that were possessed with devils : and he cast out the spirits with his word, and
healed all that were sick : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah
the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
29508 � And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion,
beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The
centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under
my roof : but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

1661 "� And when Joseph�s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said,
Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which
we did unto him. And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did
command before he died, saying, So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee
now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin ; for they did unto thee evil :
and now, "
7860 � And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every
man unto his inheritance to possess the land. And the people served the Lord all
the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had
seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel. And Joshua the son of
Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being a hundred and ten years old. And they
buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of
Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash. 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 works which he had done for Israel.
32021 "� And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of
every city, he spake by a parable : A sower went out to sow his seed : and as he
sowed, some fell by the wayside ; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air
devoured it. And some fell upon a rock ; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns ; and the
thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. "
32483 "� 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. Then said he
unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many : and sent his servant
at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come ; for all things are now
ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him,
I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it : I pray thee have
me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove
them : I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and
therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and showed his lord these things.
Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into
the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed,
and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast
commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into
the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my
supper. "
34566 "� And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the
disciples : but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a
disciple. 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 he
had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. And he was with them coming
in and going out at Jerusalem. And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and disputed against the Grecians : but they went about to slay him. Which when the
brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. �
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and were
edified ; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy
Ghost, were multiplied. "

846 "� And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb : but Rachel
was barren. And Leah conceived, and bare a son ; and she called his name Reuben
[see, a son] : for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction ; now
therefore my husband will love me. And she conceived again, and bare a son ; and
said, Because the Lord hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this
son also : and she called his name Simeon [hearing]. 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 [joined]. And she
conceived again, and bare a son ; and she said, Now will I praise the Lord :
therefore she called his name Judah [praise] ; and left bearing. "
27245 "� And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he
measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters ; the waters were
to the ankles. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters ;
the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me
through ; the waters were to the loins. Afterward he measured a thousand ; and it
was a river that I could not pass over : for the waters were risen, waters to swim
in, a river that could not be passed over. And he said unto me, Son of man, hast
thou seen this ? � Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the
river. Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many
trees on the one side and on the other. Then said he unto me, These waters issue
out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea :
which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. And it shall
come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers
shall come, shall live : and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because
these waters shall come thither : for they shall be healed ; and every thing shall
live whither the river cometh. And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall
stand upon it from Engedi even unto En-eglaim ; they shall be a place to spread
forth nets ; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great
sea, exceeding many. But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not
be healed ; they shall be given to salt. And by the river upon the bank thereof, on
this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not
fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed : it shall bring forth new fruit
according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary :
and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. "
32284 "� And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is
an evil generation : they seek a sign ; and there shall no sign be given it, but
the sign of Jonah the prophet. For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall
also the Son of man be to this generation. The queen of the south shall rise up in
the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them : for she came from
the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon ; and, behold, a
greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with
this generation, and shall condemn it : for they repented at the preaching of Jonah
; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here. "
13223 "� 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. And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of
Rephaim. 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. So they came up to Baal-perazim ; and David
smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine
hand like the breaking forth of waters : therefore they called the name of that
place Baal-perazim [a place of breaches]. And when they had left their gods there,
David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire. � And the Philistines yet
again spread themselves abroad in the valley. Therefore David inquired again of God
; and God said unto him, Go not up after them ; turn away from them, and come upon
them over against the mulberry trees. And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound
of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle :
for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. David
therefore did as God commanded him : and they smote the host of the Philistines
from Gibeon even to Gazer. And the fame of David went out into all lands ; and the
Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations. "
35142 "� And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia,
when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
crying out, Men of Israel, help : This is the man, that teacheth all men every
where against the people, and the law, and this place : and further brought Greeks
also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. (For they had seen before
with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had
brought into the temple.) And all the city was moved, and the people ran together :
and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple : and forthwith the doors were
shut. And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of
the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar : who immediately took soldiers and
centurions, and ran down unto them : and when they saw the chief captain and the
soldiers, they left beating of Paul. Then the chief captain came near, and took
him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains ; and demanded who he was, and
what he had done. And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude : and
when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried
into the castle. And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of
the soldiers for the violence of the people. For the multitude of the people
followed after, crying, Away with him. "
35382 "� And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained
their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. But not long after there
arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. And when the ship was
caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. And running under a
certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat : which
when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship ; and, fearing lest
they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven. And we being
exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship ; and the
third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. And when neither
sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that
we should be saved was then taken away. � But after long abstinence, Paul stood
forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and
not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. And now I exhort
you to be of good cheer : for there shall be no loss of any man�s life among you,
but of the ship. For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and
whom I serve, "
15634 "� And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai
sat in the king�s gate. Esther had not yet showed 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. 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 hand on the king Ahasuerus. And the thing was known
to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen ; and Esther certified the king
thereof in Mordecai�s name. And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was
found out ; therefore they were both hanged on a tree : and it was written in the
book of the chronicles before the king. "
33354 � And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto
him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither ? Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat
of the loaves, and were filled. Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for
that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give
unto you : for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall
we do, that we might work the works of God ?
30971 � And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and
drew to the shore. And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew
him, and ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in
beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. And whithersoever he entered,
into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and
besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment : and
as many as touched him were made whole.
31695 "� And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord,
they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom ; and the grace of God was upon him. "
31405 � And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. And
Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night : for it
is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. But after
that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said unto him,
Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I
say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou
shalt deny me thrice. But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee,
I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
30484 � And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. Then
saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night : for it
is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be
scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee,
yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That
this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Peter said unto him,
Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the
disciples.
30021 � And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came
to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute ?
30017 "� And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man,
kneeling down to him, and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son ; for he is lunatic,
and sore vexed : for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. And
I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered
and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you ? how
long shall I suffer you ? bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil ; and
he departed out of him : and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the
disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out ? And Jesus said
unto them, Because of your unbelief : 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. Howbeit
this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. "
29274 � And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to
Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee
into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word : for Herod will seek the
young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother
by night, and departed into Egypt : and was there until the death of Herod : that
it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of
Egypt have I called my son. � Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the
wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were
in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was
fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, In Ramah was there
a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her
children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. � But when Herod was
dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel :
for they are dead which sought the young child�s life. And he arose, and took the
young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard
that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to
go thither : notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into
the parts of Galilee :
29895 "� And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. And
when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that
country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased ; and besought him
that they might only touch the hem of his garment : and as many as touched were
made perfectly whole. "
29420 "� And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are : for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that
they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou,
when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to
thy Father which is in secret ; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward
thee openly. � But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do : for
they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore
like unto them : for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask
him. After this manner therefore pray ye : Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed
be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give
us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil : For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you : "
6030 "� And 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 ? 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 : and the Lord
showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all
his household, before our eyes : and he brought us out from thence, that he might
bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. And the Lord
commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good
always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be our
righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God,
as he hath commanded us. "
5771 "� And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and
terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as
the Lord our God commanded us ; and we came to Kadesh-barnea. "
35129 "� And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. And
the day following Paul went in with us unto James ; and all the elders were
present. And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had
wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. And when they heard it, they glorified
the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there
are which believe ; and they are all zealous of the law : and they are informed of
thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake
Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk
after the customs. What is it therefore ? the multitude must needs come together :
for they will hear that thou art come. Do therefore this that we say to thee : We
have four men which have a vow on them ; them take, and purify thyself with them,
and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads : and all may know
that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing ; but
that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. As touching the
Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such
thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from
blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. Then Paul took the men, and the
next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the
accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be
offered for every one of them. "
32921 � And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas,
one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But
Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss ? When they
which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we
smite with the sword ? And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and
cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he
touched his ear, and healed him. Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and
captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as
against a thief, with swords and staves ? When I was daily with you in the temple,
ye stretched forth no hands against me : but this is your hour, and the power of
darkness.
30502 "� 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. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss,
that same is he ; hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail,
Master ; and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come ?
Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. And, behold, one of them
which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a
servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up
again thy sword into his place : for all they that take the sword shall perish with
the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall
presently give me more than twelve legions of angels ? But how then shall the
Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be ? "
27656 "� And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin
of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the
holy mountain of my God ; yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man
Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly
swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and
talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and
understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth,
and I am come to show thee ; for thou art greatly beloved : therefore understand
the matter, and consider the vision. � Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people
and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins,
and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness,
and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. Know therefore
and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to
build Jerusalem, unto the Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore
and two weeks : the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous
times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for
himself : and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and
the sanctuary ; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the
war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week : and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation
to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even
until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. "
4908 "� And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man
that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And they that found him gathering sticks
brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And they put him
in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. And the Lord said
unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death : all the congregation shall stone
him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the
camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died ; as the Lord commanded Moses. "
30019 � And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall
be betrayed into the hands of men : and they shall kill him, and the third day he
shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
31141 � And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it
is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast
into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off : it is better for thee to
enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that
never shall be quenched : where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off : it is better for thee to enter
halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never
shall be quenched : where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And
if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out : it is better for thee to enter into the
kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire :
where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. For every one shall be
salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good : but
if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it ? Have salt in
yourselves, and have peace one with another.
31953 "� And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say ?
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to
whom he is like : he is like a man which built a house, and digged deep, and laid
the foundation on a rock : and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently
upon that house, and could not shake it ; for it was founded upon a rock. But he
that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built a house
upon the earth ; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it
fell ; and the ruin of that house was great. "
30841 � And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able
to hear it. But without a parable spake he not unto them : and when they were
alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
37344 � And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to
present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight : if ye continue in

what shall I do to inherit eternal life ? He said unto him, What is written in the
law ? how readest thou ? 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 neighbor as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered
right : this do, and thou shalt live. � But he, willing to justify himself, said
unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor ? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went
down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of "
30105 � And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall
I do, that I may have eternal life ? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good
? there is none good but one, that is, God : but if thou wilt enter into life, keep
the commandments. He saith unto him, Which ? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness, Honor thy father and thy mother : and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth
up : what lack I yet ? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell
that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and
come and follow me.
9856 "� And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop,
and brought in a great spoil with them : but Abner was not with David in Hebron ;
for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace. 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. 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 ? 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. � And when Joab was come out from David, he sent
messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah : but David
knew it not. And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate
to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died,
for the blood of Asahel his brother. 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. "
33007 "� And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor ; and he was a good
man, and a just : (the same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them :) he
was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews ; who also himself waited for the kingdom of
God. This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down,
and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein
never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew
on. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and
beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. "
33038 "� And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus,
which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talked together of all
these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed
together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes
were holden that they should not know him. And he said unto them, What manner of
communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad ? And
the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a
stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there
in these days ? And he said unto them, What things ? And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before
God and all the people : and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to
be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he
which should have redeemed Israel : and beside all this, today is the third day
since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
astonished, which were early at the sepulchre ; 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. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found
it even so as the women had said : but him they saw not. Then he said unto them, O
fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken : ought not
Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory ? And beginning
at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the
things concerning himself. � And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went
: and he made as though he would have gone further. "
29808 � Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field : which
indeed is the least of all seeds : but when it is grown, it is the greatest among
herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the
branches thereof.
29806 "� Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field : but while men slept, his
enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade
was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the
servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good
seed in thy field ? from whence then hath it tares ? He said unto them, An enemy
hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather
them up ? But he said, Nay ; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the
wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest : and in the time of
harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind
them in bundles to burn them : but gather the wheat into my barn. "
29810 "� 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 the whole was
leavened. "
28666 "� Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One ? We shall not
die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment ; and, O mighty God, thou hast
established them for correction. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and
canst not look on iniquity : wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal
treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is
more righteous than he ? and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping
things, that have no ruler over them ? They take up all of them with the angle,
they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag : therefore they
rejoice and are glad. Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense
unto their drag ; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations
? "
37633 "� As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia,
that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, neither give heed
to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly
edifying which is in faith : so do. Now the end of the commandment is charity out
of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned : from which some
having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling ; desiring to be teachers of
the law ; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. � But we
know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully ; knowing this, that the law is
not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly
and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of
mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with
mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any
other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine ; "

of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone ? Or if he ask a fish,
will he give him a serpent ? 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 ? Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this is the law and the prophets. "

take counsel together : who hath declared this from ancient time ? who hath told it
from that time ? have not I the Lord ? and there is no God else beside me ; a just
God and a Saviour ; there is none beside me. � Look unto me, and be ye saved, all
the ends of the earth : for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by

That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely shall one say,
In the Lord have I righteousness and strength : even to him shall men come ; and
all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In the Lord shall all the seed
of Israel be justified, and shall glory. "
12464 � 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.
And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all the house of his precious
things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and
all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures : there was
nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not. 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. And he said, What have they seen in thine house ?
And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen : there
is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them. � And Isaiah said unto
Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord. 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 unto Babylon : nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
29693 "� At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and
hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father ; for so it seemed good in thy
sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father : and no man knoweth the Son,
but the Father ; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to
whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is
easy, and my burden is light. "
13450 � At that time when David saw that the Lord had answered him in the
threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. For the tabernacle
of the Lord, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt
offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon. 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.
29100 "� 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. 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. 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. "

hearts : for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another,
brethren, lest ye be condemned : behold, the judge standeth before the door. Take,
my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example
of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure.
Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord ; that the

will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march
through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not

proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are
more fierce than the evening wolves : and their horsemen shall spread themselves,

mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the
Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites ;
and I will cut them off. Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor
do after their works : but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down
their images. 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. There shall
nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land : the number of thy days I
will fulfil. I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to
whom thou shalt come ; and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto
thee. And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the
Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 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. By little and little I will drive them out from before thee,
until thou be increased, and inherit the land. And I will set thy bounds from the
Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river :

shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against
them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye

changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump : for the

changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that
is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting ? O
grave, where is thy victory ? The sting of death is sin ; and the strength of sin
is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ. � Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in

break down, and to throw down, and to destroy,

the burden thereof is heavy : his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a
devouring fire : and his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst
of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity : and there shall be a
bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. � Ye shall have a song, as
in the night when a holy solemnity is kept ; and gladness of heart, as when one
goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of
Israel. And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the
lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of
a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. For through the
voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod. And in
every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him,
it shall be with tabrets and harps : and in battles of shaking will he fight with
it. For Tophet is ordained of old ; yea, for the king it is prepared ; he hath made
it deep and large : the pile thereof is fire and much wood ; the breath of the

boast of God, and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more
excellent, being instructed out of the law ; and art confident that thou thyself
art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, an instructor of
the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth
in the law. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself ? thou
that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal ? thou that sayest a man
should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery ? thou that abhorrest idols,
dost thou commit sacrilege ? thou that makest thy boast of the law, through
breaking the law dishonorest thou God ? For the name of God is blasphemed among the
Gentiles through you, as it is written. � For circumcision verily profiteth, if
thou keep the law : but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made
uncircumcision. Therefore, if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law,
shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision ? And shall not
uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the
letter and circumcision dost transgress the law ? For he is not a Jew, which is one
outwardly ; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh : but he is
a Jew, which is one inwardly ; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the
spirit, and not in the letter ; whose praise is not of men, but of God. "
38921 "� Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that
doeth good is of God : but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. Demetrius hath
good report of all men, and of the truth itself : yea, and we also bear record ;

you, as though some strange thing happened unto you : but rejoice, inasmuch as ye
are partakers of Christ�s sufferings ; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye
may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ,
happy are ye ; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you : on their part
he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer
as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men�s
matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed ; but let him
glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the
house of God : and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey
not the gospel of God ? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
ungodly and the sinner appear ? Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the
will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a
faithful Creator. "
38907 "� Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and
to strangers ; which have borne witness of thy charity before the church : whom if
thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well :
because that for his name�s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow helpers to the truth. "
38933 � Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should
earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there
are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this
condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and
denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. � I will therefore put you in
remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people
out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the
angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath
reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving
themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an
example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. � Likewise also these filthy
dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
13130 "� Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had
done many acts ; he slew two lionlike men of Moab : also he went down and slew a
lion in a pit in a snowy day. 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. These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and
had a name among the three mighties. Behold, he was honorable among the thirty, but
attained not to the first three : and David set him over his guard. � Also the
valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo
of Bethlehem, Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the
Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite, Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite, Maharai

37374 "� Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For
in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power : in whom also ye are circumcised
with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of
the flesh by the circumcision of Christ : buried with him in baptism, wherein also
ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised
him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses ;
blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary
to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross ; and having spoiled
principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in
it. � Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a
holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days : which are a shadow of things
to come ; but the body is of Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a
voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he
hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding the Head, from
which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit
together, increaseth with the increase of God. "
29486 "� Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep�s clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men
gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles ? Even so every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit ; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot
bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every
tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. "
6091 "� Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his
commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day :
lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt
therein ; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold
is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied ; then thine heart be lifted
up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of
Egypt, from the house of bondage ; who led thee through that great and terrible
wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there
was no water ; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint ; 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 ; and thou
say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
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
it is this day. And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and
walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this
day that ye shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before
your face, so shall ye perish ; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of
the Lord your God. "

merciful : for they shall obtain mercy. � Blessed are the pure in heart : for they

children of God. � Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness� sake :
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. � Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you,
and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven : for so
persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
31918 � Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you
from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the
Son of man�s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy : for, behold, your
reward is great in heaven : for in the like manner did their fathers unto the
prophets. � But woe unto you that are rich ! for ye have received your
consolation. � Woe unto you that are full ! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that
laugh now ! for ye shall mourn and weep. � Woe unto you, when all men shall speak
well of you ! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
36506 "� Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
mercies, and the God of all comfort ; who comforteth us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort
wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound
in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it
is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the
same sufferings which we also suffer : or whether we be comforted, it is for your
consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as ye
are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. � For we
would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia,
that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired

his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and

through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye
greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
manifold temptations : that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than
of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise
and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ : whom having not seen, ye
love ; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory : receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation
of your souls. � Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched
diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you : "
37014 "� Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed
us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ : according as he hath
chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and
without blame before him in love : having predestinated us unto the adoption of
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to
the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the
beloved : in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace ; wherein he hath abounded toward us in all
wisdom and prudence ; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according
to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself : that in the dispensation
of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both
which are in heaven, and which are on earth ; even in him. "
38378 "� Blessed is the man that endureth temptation : for when he is tried, he
shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love
him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God : for God cannot be
tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man : but every man is tempted, when he
is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it
bringeth forth sin ; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. � Do not
err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow
of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a
kind of firstfruits of his creatures. "

Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin. Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke :
among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. The
princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound : therefore I will pour out
my wrath upon them like water. Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because
he willingly walked after the commandment. Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a
moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. � When Ephraim saw his sickness, and
Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb [or,
to the king that should plead] : yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your
wound. 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 take away, and none shall rescue
him. "

on the altar of incense, and were appointed for all the work of the place most
holy, and to make an atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant
of God had commanded. And these are the sons of Aaron ; Eleazar his son, Phinehas
his son, Abishua his son, Bukki his son, Uzzi his son, Zerahiah his son, Meraioth
his son, Amariah his son, Ahitub his son, Zadok his son, Ahimaaz his son. "
9794 "� But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul�s host, took Ish-bosheth the son
of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim ; and made him king over Gilead, and over
the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all
Israel. Ish-bosheth Saul�s son was forty years old when he began to reign over
Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David. And the time
that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six
months. � And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of
Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the
servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon : and they sat
down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the
pool. And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And
Joab said, Let them arise. Then there arose and went over by number twelve of
Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the
servants of David. 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 "
38184 "� But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater
and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this
building ; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he
entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For
if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the
unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh ; how much more shall the blood
of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God ? � And for this
cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the
redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which
are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament
is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is
of force after men are dead : otherwise it is of no strength at all while the
testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he
took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop,
and sprinkled both the book and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the
testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled likewise with
blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all
things are by the law purged with blood ; and without shedding of blood is no
remission. "
36844 "� But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is
not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by
the revelation of Jesus Christ. For ye have heard of my conversation in time past
in the Jews� religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and
wasted it : and profited in the Jews� religion above many my equals in mine own
nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. But when
it pleased God, who separated me from my mother�s womb, and called me by his grace,
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen ; immediately I
conferred not with flesh and blood : neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which
were apostles before me ; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
� Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him
fifteen days. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord�s brother.
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. Afterward I
came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia ; and was unknown by face unto the
churches of Judea which were in Christ : but they had heard only, That he which
persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. And
they glorified God in me. "
37300 "� But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me
hath flourished again ; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. "
31920 "� But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which
hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other ; and him that
taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that
asketh of thee ; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as
ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. � For if ye love
them which love you, what thank have ye ? for sinners also love those that love
them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye ? for
sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive,
what thank have ye ? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again ; and
your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the "
37250 � But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also
may be of good comfort, when I know your state. For I have no man likeminded, who
will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which
are Jesus Christ�s. But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father,
he hath served with me in the gospel. Him therefore I hope to send presently, so
soon as I shall see how it will go with me. But I trust in the Lord that I also
myself shall come shortly. � Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you
Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier, but your
messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
37511 � But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which
are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we
believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will
God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which
are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are
asleep. 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 :
37213 "� But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened
unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel ; so that my
bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places ; and many
of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to
speak the word without fear. � Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife ;
and some also of good will : the one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely,
supposing to add affliction to my bonds : but the other of love, knowing that I am
set for the defense of the gospel. What then ? notwithstanding, every way, whether
in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached ; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and
will rejoice. � For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your
prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest
expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all
boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it
be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I
live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor : yet what I shall choose I wot
not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with
Christ ; which is far better : nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful
for you. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with
you all for your furtherance and joy of faith ; that your rejoicing may be more
abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. "
36537 "� But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part : that I
may not overcharge you all. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was
inflicted of many. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort
him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore
I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. For to this end also did
I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also : for if I forgave any thing, to whom
I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ ; "
26214 � But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and
keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live,
he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be
mentioned unto him : in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
4171 "� But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments
; and if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that
ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant : I also will do
this unto you ; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning
ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart : and ye shall sow
your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And I will set my face against
you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies : they that hate you shall reign
over you ; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all
this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I
will break the pride of your power ; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your
earth as brass : and your strength shall be spent in vain : for your land shall not
yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. � 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. I will also send wild beasts
among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make
you few in number ; and your high ways shall be desolate. � And if ye will not be
reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me ; then will I also
walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I
will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant : and
when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among
you ; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. "
37822 "� But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but
also of wood and of earth ; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man
therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified,
and meet for the master�s use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also
youthful lusts : but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that
call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive ;
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient ; in meekness instructing those
that oppose themselves ; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth ; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare
of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. "
31352 � But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and
the moon shall not give her light, and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the
powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man
coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels,
and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of
the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. � Now learn a parable of the fig tree :
When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is
near : so ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that
it is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall
not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away : but my
words shall not pass away. � But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not
the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed,
watch and pray : for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man
taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and
to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore : for
ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the
cockcrowing, or in the morning : lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
6717 "� 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 : Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. "
30771 "� But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea : and a great
multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from
Idumea, and from beyond Jordan ; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude,
when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him. And he spake to his
disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they
should throng him. For he had healed many ; insomuch that they pressed upon him for
to touch him, as many as had plagues. And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell
down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. And he straitly
charged them that they should not make him known. "
34096 "� But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping : and as she wept, she
stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, and seeth two angels in white sitting,
the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
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. And when she had
thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it
was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou ? whom seekest thou ? She,
supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him
hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto
her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni ; which is to say,
Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not ; for I am not yet ascended to my Father
: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your
Father ; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples
that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. "
35559 "� But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets ; even the righteousness of God which is by
faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe ; for there is no
difference : for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God ; being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus : whom
God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of
God ; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness : that he might be just,
and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. � Where is boasting then ? It is
excluded. By what law ? of works ? Nay ; but by the law of faith. Therefore we
conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the
God of the Jews only ? is he not also of the Gentiles ? Yes, of the Gentiles also :
seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and
uncircumcision through faith. "
30368 "� But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but
my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the
ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away ; so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field ; the one shall be
taken, and the other left. "
34213 "� But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto
them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you,
and hearken to my words : for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is
but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet
Joel ; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh : and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your
young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams : and on my
servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit ; and
they shall prophesy : and I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the
earth beneath ; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke : the sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord
come : and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord
shall be saved. "
37180 � But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved
brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things :
whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and
that he might comfort your hearts. � Peace be to the brethren, and love with
faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8859 "� But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed
them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof. 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 us, and upon Dagon our god. 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. And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the
hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction : and he smote
the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret
parts. Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark
of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about
the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people. So they sent and
gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of
the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and
our people : for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city ; the hand
of God was very heavy there. And the men that died not were smitten with the
emerods : and the cry of the city went up to heaven. "
4291 "� But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among
them. For the Lord had spoken unto Moses, saying, Only thou shalt not number the
tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel : but thou
shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the
vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it : they shall bear the
tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof ; and they shall minister unto it, and
shall encamp round about the tabernacle. "
15776 "� But 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
their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey, on
the thirteenth day of the month Adar ; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested
they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness. But the Jews that were at 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. Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns,
made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a
good day, and of sending portions one to another. � 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, "
9217 "� But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the
Lord troubled him. And Saul�s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit
from God troubleth thee. Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before
thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on a 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. And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that
can play well, and bring him to me. Then answered one of the servants, and said,
Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing,
and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely
person, and the Lord is with him. Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and
said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 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. And David came to Saul, and stood before him : and he loved him greatly ; and
he became his armor-bearer. And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee,
stand before me ; for he hath found favor in my sight. "
7311 "� But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah. And
it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. And
Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to
keep them : and stay ye not, but 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. 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, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities. And all
the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace : none moved his
tongue against any of the children of Israel. � Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of
the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 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, and the king of
Eglon. And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that
Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains 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. 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. And afterward Joshua smote them,
and slew them, and hanged them on five trees : and they were hanging upon the trees
until the evening. 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 been hid, and laid great stones in the cave�s mouth,
which remain until this very day. "
34114 "� But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when
Jesus came. 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 thrust my hand into his side, I will not
believe. � And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with
them : then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my
hands ; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side ; and be not
faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my
God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed :
blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. "
37842 "� But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith,
long-suffering, charity, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at
Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra ; what persecutions I endured : but out of them all
the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving,
and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and
hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them ; and that from a
child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness : that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works. "
37749 "� But thou, O man of God, flee these things ; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. "
37590 � But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of
the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth : whereunto he called you by
our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore,
brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by
word, or our epistle. � Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our
Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good
hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and
work.
36588 "� But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed ; we are perplexed, but not in despair ; persecuted, but not forsaken ;
cast down, but not destroyed ; always bearing about in the body the dying of the
Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we
which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus� sake, that the life also of
Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but
life in you. � We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I
believed, and therefore have I spoken ; we also believe, and therefore speak ; "
36740 "� But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the
measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto
you. For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto
you ; for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ : not
boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men�s labors ; but having
hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to
our rule abundantly, to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to
boast in another man�s line of things made ready to our hand. But he that glorieth,
let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but
whom the Lord commendeth. "
37478 "� But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not
in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again ; but Satan
hindered us. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing ? Are not even ye
in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming ? For ye are our glory and
joy. "
30207 "� But what think ye ? A certain man had two sons ; and he came to the first,
and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not ; but
afterward he repented, and went. "
12023 � But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the
garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot.
And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo,
and died there. And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried
him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David. � And in the eleventh
year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
14330 � But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she
arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah. But Jehoshabeath, the
daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the
king�s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So
Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for
she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
33419 "� But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast,
not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and
said, Where is he ? And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him :
for some said, He is a good man : others said, Nay ; but he deceiveth the people.
Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. � Now about the midst of
the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marveled, saying,
How knoweth this man letters, having never learned ? Jesus answered them, and said,
My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he
shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He
that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory : but he that seeketh his glory that
sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give
you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law ? Why go ye about to kill me ? The
people answered and said, Thou hast a devil : who goeth about to kill thee ? Jesus
answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. "
29725 "� But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence : and great
multitudes followed him, and he healed them all ; and charged them that they should
not make him known : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the
prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I have chosen ; my beloved, in whom my
soul is well pleased : I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to
the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry ; neither shall any man hear his voice
in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not
quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the
Gentiles trust. "
36863 � But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he
was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the
Gentiles : but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them
which were of the circumcision.
30272 � But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence,
they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a
question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the
law ? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.
9926 "� But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over
Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David ; and David heard of it, and went
down to the hold. The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of
Rephaim. And David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines ?
wilt thou deliver them into mine hand ? And the Lord said unto David, Go up : for I
will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand. And David came to Baal-
perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken forth upon mine
enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that
place Baal-perazim [the place of breaches]. And there they left their images, and
David and his men burned them. � And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread
themselves in the valley of Rephaim. And when David inquired of the Lord, he said,
Thou shalt not go up ; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over
against the mulberry trees. And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going
in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself : for then
shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. And David
did so, as the Lord had commanded him ; and smote the Philistines from Geba until
thou come to Gazer. "
32606 "� But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say
unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat ? 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 ?
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him ? I
trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are
commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants : we have done that which was our
duty to do. "
32150 � But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said
unto his disciples, Let these sayings sink down into your ears : for the Son of man
shall be delivered into the hands of men. But they understood not this saying, and
it was hid from them, that they perceived it not : and they feared to ask him of
that saying.
30039 "� But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it
were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were
drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offenses ! for it
must needs be that offenses come ; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh !
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from
thee : it is better for thee to enter into life halt or "
38553 "� But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a
peculiar people ; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you
out of darkness into his marvelous light : which in time past were not a people,
but are now the people of God : which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained
mercy. "
35706 "� But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit
of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of
his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin ; but the Spirit is
life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from
the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken
your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. � Therefore, brethren, we
are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the
flesh, ye shall die : but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons
of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear ; but ye have
received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God : 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 together. � For I reckon that the
sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which
shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for
the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity,
not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope ; because
the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the
glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation
groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but
ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. "
38945 "� But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ ; how that they told you there should be mockers
in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who
separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, "
38260 "� By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he
should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed ; and he went out, not knowing
whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange
country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the
same promise : for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and
maker is God. Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed,
and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful
who had promised. Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so
many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the seashore
innumerable. � These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but
having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and
confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say
such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been
mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity
to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly :
wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God : for he hath prepared for them
a city. � By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac : and he that had
received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, That
in Isaac shall thy seed be called : accounting that God was able to raise him up,
even from the dead ; from whence also he received him in a figure. By faith Isaac
blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was a
dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph ; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of
his staff. "
38636 "� By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written
briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye
stand. The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you ; and
so doth Mark my son. Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. � Peace be with
you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen. "
35239 "� Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them : then came I
with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. And when I
would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into
their council : whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to
have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. And when it was told
me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave
commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him.
Farewell. � Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him
by night to Antipatris. On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and
returned to the castle : who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle
to the governor, presented Paul also before him. And when the governor had read the
letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of
Cilicia ; I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he
commanded him to be kept in Herod�s judgment hall. "

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. And also I have
withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest : and
I caused it to rain upon one city, "
25325 "� Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad ; for they have heard
evil tidings : they are faint-hearted ; there is sorrow on the sea ; it cannot be
quiet. Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized
on her : anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail. How is the city
of praise not left, the city of my joy ! Therefore her young men shall fall in her
streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord of
hosts. And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the
palaces of Ben-hadad. "
25299 "� Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts ; Is wisdom no more in Teman
? is counsel perished from the prudent ? is their wisdom vanished ? Flee ye, turn
back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan ; for I will bring the calamity of Esau
upon him, the time that I will visit him. If grape gatherers come to thee, would
they not leave some gleaning grapes ? if thieves by night, they will destroy till
they have enough. "
25327 "� Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord ; Arise ye, go up
to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east. Their tents and their flocks shall they
take away : they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels,
and their camels ; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side. Flee, get
you 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. Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth
without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

38555 "� Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against the soul ; having your conversation honest among
the Gentiles : that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your
good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. � Submit
yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord�s sake : whether it be to the
king, as supreme ; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the
punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the
will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish
men : as free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the
servants of God. Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. "
23871 "� Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem ; and say, Blow ye the
trumpet in the land : cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let

Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou ? or thy work, He

36895 "� Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for
righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the
heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee
shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with
faithful Abraham. � For as many as are of the works of the law are under the
curse : for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things

And the law is not of faith : but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us : for
it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree : that the blessing of
Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ ; that we might receive the
promise of the Spirit through faith. � Brethren, I speak after the manner of men ;
Though it be but a man�s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or
addeth thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not,
And to seeds, as of many ; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. "
32364 "� Fear not, little flock ; for it is your Father�s good pleasure to give you
the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms ; provide yourselves bags which wax
not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth,
neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
"
29644 "� Fear them not therefore : for there is nothing covered, that shall not be
revealed ; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that
speak ye in light : and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
And fear not 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. Are not two
sparrows sold for a farthing ? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without
your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not
therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which
is in heaven. "
28570 "� Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell
solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel : let them feed in Bashan and
Gilead, as in the days of old. According to the days of thy coming out of the land
of Egypt will I show unto him marvelous things. � The nations shall see and be
confounded at all their might : they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their
ears shall be deaf. They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of
their holes like worms of the earth : they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and
shall fear because of thee. � 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. He will turn again, he will
have compassion upon us ; he will subdue our iniquities : and thou wilt cast all
their sins into the depths of the sea. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and
the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
"
38587 "� Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another ; love as
brethren, be pitiful, be courteous : not rendering evil for evil, or railing for
railing : but contrariwise blessing ; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye
should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him
refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile : let him
eschew evil, and do good ; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the
Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers : but the
face of the Lord is against them that do evil. � And who is he that will harm you,
if ye be followers of that which is good ? But and if ye suffer for righteousness�
sake, happy are ye : and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled ; but
sanctify the Lord God in your hearts : and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and
fear : having a good conscience ; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of
evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in
Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing,
than for evildoing. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but
quickened by the Spirit : by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in
prison ; which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God
waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is,
eight souls were saved by water. "
36820 "� Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one
mind, live in peace ; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Greet one
another with a holy kiss. All the saints salute you. � The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.
Amen. "
37298 "� Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, 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. Those things, which ye have both
learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do : and the God of peace shall
be with you. "
37178 "� Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole
armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done
all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having
on the breastplate of righteousness ; and your feet shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace ; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God : praying always with all
prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints ; and for me, that utterance may be given unto me,
that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which
I am an ambassador in bonds ; that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
"
35465 "� First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is
spoken of throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my
spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always
in my prayers ; making request, if by any means now at length I might have a
prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. For I long to see you, that
I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established ; "
31940 "� For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit ; neither doth a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of
thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man
out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good ; and an
evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil :
for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. "
5943 "� For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the
day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto
the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath
been heard like it ? Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the
midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live ? 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 ? Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is
God ; there is none else beside him. Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice,
that he might instruct thee : and upon earth he showed thee his great fire ; and
thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. And because he loved thy
fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his
sight with his mighty power out of Egypt ; to drive out nations from before thee
greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for
an inheritance, as it is this day. Know therefore this day, and consider it in
thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath :
there is none else. Thou shalt keep therefore 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 earth, which the Lord
thy God giveth thee, for ever. "
25282 "� For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped : upon all the hands
shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. There shall be lamentation
generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof : for I have
broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord. They shall howl,
saying, How is it broken down ! how hath Moab turned the back with shame ! so shall
Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him. � For thus saith the Lord
; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab. Kerioth
is taken, and the strongholds are surprised, and the mighty men�s hearts in Moab at
that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. And Moab shall be destroyed
from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the Lord. Fear, and
the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
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 it, even upon Moab,
the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. � They that fled stood under the
shadow of Heshbon because of the force : but a fire shall come forth out of
Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab,
and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. Woe be unto thee, O Moab ! the
people of Chemosh perisheth : for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters
captives. Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith
the Lord. Thus far is the judgment of Moab. "
33185 "� For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God
sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world ; but that the world through
him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned : but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the
world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For
every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his
deeds should be reproved. "
35479 "� For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ : for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that believeth ; to the Jew first, and also to the
Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith : as it
is written, The just shall live by faith. "
29194 "� For I am the Lord, I change not ; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not
consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances,
and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord
of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return ? Will a man rob God ? Yet ye have
robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee ? In tithes and offerings. Ye
are cursed with a curse : for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye
all the tithes 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. 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. And all nations shall call you blessed : for ye
shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts. "
36303 "� For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That
the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread : and when he
had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat ; this is my body, which is
broken for you : this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took
the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood :
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat
this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord�s death till he come. "
35836 � For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest
ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to
Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be
saved : as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall
turn away ungodliness from Jacob : for this is my covenant unto them, when I shall
take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes :
but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers� sakes. For the
gifts and calling of God are without repentance. For as ye in times past have not
believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief : even so have
these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
14718 "� For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to
seek after the God of David his father : and in the twelfth year he began to purge
Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images,
and the molten images. And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence ;
and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down ; and the groves, and the
carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them,
and strewed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them. And he burnt
the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. And
so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali,
with their mattocks round about. And when he had broken down the altars and the
groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols
throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. "
36519 "� For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in
simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God,
we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. For we
write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge ; and I trust ye
shall acknowledge even to the end ; as also ye have acknowledged us in part, that
we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. � And
in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a
second benefit ; and to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of
Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judea. When I
therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness ? or the things that I purpose, do I
purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea, yea, and nay, nay
? But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. For the Son of God,
Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and
Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. For all the promises of God in
him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he which stablisheth
us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God ; who hath also sealed us, and
given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. "
12312 "� For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord
their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand
of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, and walked in the statutes of
the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the
kings of Israel, which they had made. And the children of Israel did secretly those
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. And
they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree :
and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the
Lord carried away before them ; and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to
anger : for they served idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do
this thing. Yet the Lord testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the
prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my
commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your
fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. Notwithstanding, they
would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that
did not believe in the Lord their God. And they rejected his statutes, and his
covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified
against them ; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the
heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, that
they should not do like them. And they left all the commandments of the Lord their
God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped
all the host of heaven, and served Baal. "
22484 "� For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in
my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat
of harvest. For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is
ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and
take away and cut down the branches. They shall be left together unto the fowls of
the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth : and the fowls shall summer upon
them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. � In that time shall
the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and
from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto ; a nation meted out and
trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of
the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion. "
28351 "� For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen : as thou hast done,
it shall be done unto thee : thy reward shall return upon thine own head. For as ye
have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually ; yea,
they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had
not been. But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness ;
and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. And the house of Jacob
shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for
stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them ; and there shall not be
any remaining of the house of Esau ; for the Lord hath spoken it. And they of the
south shall possess the mount of Esau ; and they of the plain, the Philistines :
and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria : and
Benjamin shall possess Gilead. And the captivity of this host of the children of
Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath ; and the
captivity of "
30403 "� For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who
called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave
five talents, to another two, and to another one ; to every man according to his
several ability ; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the
five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And
likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had
received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord�s money. After a long
time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had
received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou
deliveredst unto me five talents : behold, I have gained beside them five talents
more. "
36016 "� For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness ; but
unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy
the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise ? where is the scribe ? where is the disputer of this world ?
hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world ? For after that in the wisdom
of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of
preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks
seek after wisdom : but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock,
and unto the Greeks foolishness ; but unto them which are called, both Jews and
Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. "
35590 "� For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to
Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made
of none effect : because the law worketh wrath : for where no law is, there is no
transgression. � Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace ; to the end
the promise might be sure to all the seed ; not to that only which is of the law,
but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham ; who is the father of us all,
(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he
believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not
as though they were : who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the
father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was
about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah�s womb : he staggered
not at the promise of God through unbelief ; but was strong in faith, giving glory
to God ; and being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to
perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not
written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him ; but for us also, to whom
it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the
dead ; who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our
justification. "
35481 "� For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness ; because that which
may be known of God is manifest in them ; for God hath showed it unto them. For the
invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead ; so
that they are without excuse : because that, when they knew God, they glorified him
not as God, neither were thankful ; but became vain in their imaginations, and
their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became
fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to
corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. "
37476 "� For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye
received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of
men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you
that believe. For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in
Judea are in Christ Jesus : for ye also have suffered like things of your own
countrymen, even as they have of the Jews : who both killed the Lord Jesus, and
their own prophets, and have persecuted us ; and they please not God, and are
contrary to all men : forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be
saved, to fill up their sins always : for the wrath is come upon them to the
uttermost. "
37078 "� For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of
whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you,
according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit
in the inner man ; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith ; that ye, being
rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the
breadth, and length, and depth, and height ; and to know the love of Christ, which
passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. � 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, "
37886 "� For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the
things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee :
if any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused
of riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God ; not
selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy
lucre ; but a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy,
temperate ; holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be
able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. "
38803 "� For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should
love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him ? Because his own works were evil, and his brother�s
righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. We know that we have
passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his
brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer : and ye know
that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of
God, because he laid down his life for us : and we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren. But whoso hath this world�s good, and seeth his brother have need,
and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in
him ? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue ; but in deed
and in truth. � And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our
hearts before him. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and
knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence
toward God. "
6047 "� For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God : the Lord thy God hath
chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the
face of the earth. The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because
ye were more in number than any people ; for ye were the fewest of all people : but
because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn
unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed
you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 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 ; 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. Thou shalt
therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I
command thee this day, to do them. "
23301 "� 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 none else besides me. Therefore shall evil come upon thee ; thou
shalt not know from whence it riseth : and mischief shall fall upon thee ; thou
shalt not be able to put it off : and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly,
which thou shalt not know. � Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the
multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast labored from thy youth ; if so be
thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Thou art wearied in the
multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly
prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon
thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble ; the fire shall burn them ; they shall not
deliver themselves from the power of the flame : there shall not be a coal to warm
at, nor fire to sit before it. Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast
labored, even thy merchants, from thy youth : they shall wander every one to his
quarter ; none shall save thee. "
24737 "� For thus saith the Lord ; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among
the chief of the nations : publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people,
the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather
them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman
with child and her that travaileth with child together : a great company shall
return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead
them : I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein
they shall not stumble : for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
� 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. For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him
that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of
Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine,
and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd : and their soul shall
be as a watered garden ; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the
virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together : for I will turn
their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their
sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people
shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord. � Thus saith the Lord ; A
voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping ; Rachel weeping for her
children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. 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. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy
children shall come again to their own border. "
24546 "� For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me ; Take the winecup of this
fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. And
they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send
among them. � Then took I the cup at the Lord�s hand, and made all the nations to
drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me : to wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah,
and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an
astonishment, a hissing, and a curse ; as it is this day ; Pharaoh king of Egypt,
and his servants, and his princes, and all his people ; 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 Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, Edom,
and Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings
of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, Dedan, and Tema, and
Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, and all the kings of Arabia, and all
the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, and all the kings of
Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, 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. "
28220 "� For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall
live : but seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba : for
Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought. Seek the
Lord, and ye shall live ; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and
devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el. Ye who turn judgment to
wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, seek him that maketh the seven
stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the
day dark with night : that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out
upon the face of the earth : The Lord is his name : that strengtheneth the spoiled
against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. � They
hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens
of wheat : ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them ; ye
have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. For I know
your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins : they afflict the just, they
take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. Therefore
the prudent shall keep silence in that time ; for it is an evil time. � Seek good,
and not evil, that ye may live : and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with
you, as ye have spoken. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in
the gate : it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant
of Joseph. � Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus ; Wailing
shall be in all streets ; and they shall say in all the highways, "
38011 "� For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come,
whereof we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that
thou art mindful of him ? or the son of man, that thou visitest him ? Thou madest
him a little lower than the angels ; thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and
didst set him over the works of thy hands : thou hast put all things in subjection
under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing
that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we
see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honor ; that he by the grace of God should taste death for
every man. � For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all
things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are
sanctified are all of one : for which cause he is not ashamed to call them
brethren, saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the
church will I sing praise unto thee. And again, I will put my trust in him. And
again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. � Forasmuch then as the
children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of
the same ; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death,
that is, the devil ; and deliver them, who through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to bondage. "
37985 � 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 ? And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith,
And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh
his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith,
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever :
38668 "� For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto
you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his
majesty. For he received from God the Father honor 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. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in
the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy ; whereunto ye do well
that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day
dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts : knowing this first, that no prophecy
of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old
time by the will of man : but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost. "
35947 "� For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. But
now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years
to come unto you ; whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you :
for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by
you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company. But now I go unto Jerusalem
to minister unto the saints. For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to
make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. It hath
pleased them verily ; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been
made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them
in carnal things. When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them
this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. And I am sure that, when I come unto
you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. "
23724 "� For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth : and the former shall
not be remembered, nor come into mind. 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.
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. 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 a hundred years old ; but the sinner being a hundred years old
shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them ; and they shall
plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another
inhabit ; they shall not plant, and another eat : for as the days of a tree are the
days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They
shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble ; for they are the seed of the
blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that
before they call, I will answer ; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The
wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the
bullock : and dust shall be the serpent�s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in
all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. "
29983 "� From that time forth began Jesus to show 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 be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and
began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord : this shall not be unto
thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan : thou art an
offense unto me : for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that
be of men. � Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it : and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find
it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul ? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ? For the Son of man shall
come in the glory of his Father with his angels ; and then he shall reward every
man according to his works. "
36553 "� Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ�s gospel, and a door
was opened unto me of the Lord, I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not
Titus my brother ; but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

24096 � Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
28047 "� Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests : howl, ye ministers of the
altar : come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God : for the meat
offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God. Sanctify
ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the
land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord. � Alas for the day
! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall
it come. Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the
house of our God ? The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid
desolate, the barns are broken down ; for the corn is withered. How do the beasts
groan ! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture ; yea, the
flocks of sheep are made desolate. O Lord, to thee will I cry : for the fire hath
devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of
the field. The beasts of the field cry also unto thee : for the rivers of waters
are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness. "
22737 "� Give ye ear, and hear my voice ; hearken, and hear my speech. Doth the
plowman plow all day to sow ? doth he open and break the clods of his ground ? When
he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and
scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and
the rye in their place ? For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth
teach him. � For the fitches are not threshed with a 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. Bread corn is bruised ; because he will not
ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with
his horsemen. This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in
counsel, and excellent in working. "
38466 � Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and
continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain : whereas ye know not what
shall be on the morrow. For what is your life ? It is even a vapor, that appeareth
for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord
will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings :
all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it
not, to him it is sin.
23075 "� 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 ? 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 : that bringeth the princes to nothing ; he maketh the judges
of the earth as vanity. Yea, they shall not be planted ; yea, they shall not be
sown ; yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth : and he shall also blow
upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as
stubble. � To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal ? saith the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth
out their host by number : he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his
might, for that he is strong in power ; not one faileth. � Why sayest thou, O
Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is
passed over from my God ? Hast thou not known ? hast thou not heard, that the
everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,
neither is weary ? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to
the faint ; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths
shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall : 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 ; and they shall walk, and not faint. "
38898 � Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and
ink : but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be
full. � The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
38215 "� Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the
blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through
the veil, that is to say, his flesh ; and having a high priest over the house of
God ; "
14517 "� He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of
the house of the Lord, and repaired them. And he brought in the priests and the
Levites, and gathered them together into the east street, and said unto them, Hear
me, ye Levites ; sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of
your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place. "
32416 "� He spake also this parable ; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his
vineyard ; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto
the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this
fig tree, and find none : cut it down ; why cumbereth it the ground ? And he
answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about
it, and dung it : and if it bear fruit, well : and if not, then after that thou
shalt cut it down. "
33204 "� He that cometh from above is above all : he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaketh of the earth : he that cometh from heaven is above all. And
what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth ; and no man receiveth his
testimony. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is
true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God : for God giveth not the
Spirit by measure unto him. "
29660 "� He that receiveth you receiveth me ; and he that receiveth me receiveth
him that sent me. 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. 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. "
2388 "� He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death. 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. But if a man come presumptuously upon his
neighbor, to slay him with guile ; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may
die. � And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
� And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he
shall surely be put to death. � And he that curseth his father, or his mother,
shall surely be put to death. � And if men strive together, and one smite another
with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed : "
30221 "� Hear another parable : There was a certain householder, which planted a
vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a
tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country : and when the
time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they
might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one,
and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the
first : and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son,
saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said
among themselves, This is the heir ; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his
inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those
husbandmen ? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and
will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits
in their seasons. "
22044 "� Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom ; give ear unto the law of
our God, ye people of Gomorrah. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices
unto me ? saith the Lord : I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of
fed beasts ; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he
goats. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to
tread my courts ? Bring no more vain oblations ; incense is an abomination unto
me ; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with ; it
is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my
soul hateth : they are a trouble unto me ; I am weary to bear them. 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. Wash ye, make you clean ;
put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes ; cease to do evil ; learn
to do well ; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for
the widow. � 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. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the
good of the land : but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the
sword : for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. "
28288 � Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the
land to fail,
29796 "� Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word
of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth
away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the
wayside. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that
heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it ; yet hath he not root in himself,
but dureth for a while : for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the
word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he
that heareth the word ; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of
riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into
the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it ; which also
beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. "
24185 "� Hear ye, and give ear ; be not proud : for the Lord hath spoken. Give
glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble
upon the dark mountains, and, while ye "

servant ? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent ? who is blind as he that is
perfect, and blind as the Lord�s servant ? Seeing many things, but thou observest
not ; opening the ears, but he heareth not. The Lord is well pleased for his
righteousness� sake ; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable. 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. Who among you will give ear to this ? who will hearken and hear for
the time to come ? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers ? did not
the Lord, he against whom we have sinned ? for they would not walk in his ways,
neither were they obedient unto his law. Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury
of his anger, and the strength of battle : and it hath set him on fire round about,
yet he knew not ; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. "
30101 � His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it
is not good to marry. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
their mother�s womb : and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men :
and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of
heaven�s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

righteousness lodged in it ; but now murderers. Thy silver is become dross, thy
wine mixed with water : "
26128 "� How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these
things, the work of an imperious whorish woman ; in that thou buildest thine
eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street
; and hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest hire ; but as a wife that
committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband ! They give
gifts to all whores : but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them,
that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. And the contrary is in
thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit
whoredoms : and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee,
therefore thou art contrary. � Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord :
Thus saith the Lord God ; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness
discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy
abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them ;
behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure,
and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated ; I will even
gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them,
that they may see all thy nakedness. And I will judge thee, as women that break
wedlock and shed blood are judged ; and I will give thee blood in fury and
jealousy. And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down
thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places : they shall strip thee
also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with
stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 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 "

of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain. � Brethren, I beseech you, be
as I am ; for I am as ye are : ye have not injured me at all. Ye know how through
infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. And my
temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected ; but received me as
an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Where is then the blessedness ye spake of ?
for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out
your own eyes, and have given them to me. Am I therefore become your enemy, because
I tell you the truth ? They zealously affect you, but not well ; yea, they would
exclude you, that ye might affect them. "

of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought : but we speak
the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before
the world unto our glory ; which none of the princes of this world knew : for had
they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is
written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of
man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath
revealed them unto us by his Spirit : for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the
deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of
man which is in him ? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of
God. Now we have 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 of God. Which
things also we speak, not in the words which man�s wisdom teacheth, but which the
Holy Ghost teacheth ; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. � But the natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God : for they are foolishness unto
him : neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that
is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath
known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him ? But we have the mind of
Christ. "

shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them : for I the Lord
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children

the sabbath day, and hallowed it. � Honor thy father and thy mother : that thy
days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. � Thou shalt

saw seven golden candlesticks ; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like
unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the
paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white
as snow ; and his eyes were as a flame of fire ; and his feet like unto fine brass,
as if they burned in a furnace ; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he
had in his right hand seven stars : and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged
sword : and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. � And when I
saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying
unto me, Fear not ; I am the first and the last : I am he that liveth, and was
dead ; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen ; and have the keys of hell and
of death. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the

grace of Christ unto another gospel : which is not another ; but there be some that
trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel
from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto
you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. � For do
I now persuade men, or God ? or do I seek to please men ? for if I yet pleased men,
I should not be the servant of Christ. "
38884 � I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we
have received a commandment from the Father. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as
though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the
beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his
commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning,
ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess
not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that
we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine
of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into your house, neither bid him God-speed :
36758 "� I say again, Let no man think me a fool ; if otherwise, yet as a fool
receive me, that I may boast myself a little. That which I speak, I speak it not
after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. Seeing
that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. For ye suffer fools gladly,
seeing ye yourselves are wise. For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a
man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on
the face. I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. � Howbeit,
whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. Are they Hebrews ?
so am I. Are they Israelites ? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham ? so am I. "
35820 "� I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall ? God forbid : but
rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them
to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the
diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles ; how much more their fulness ? �
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I
magnify mine office : if by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my
flesh, and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the
reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the
dead ? For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy : and if the root be
holy, so are the branches. � And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou,
being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the
root and fatness of the olive tree ; boast not against the branches. But if thou
boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. "
37776 "� I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that
without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day ; greatly
desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy ;
when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first
in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice ; and I am persuaded that in thee
also. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance, that thou stir up the gift of God, which
is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of
fear ; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. � Be not thou therefore
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner : but be thou partaker
of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God ; who hath 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 the world began ;
"
36001 "� I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given
you by Jesus Christ ; that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance,
and in all knowledge ; even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you : so
that ye come behind in no gift ; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ :
who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our
Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of
his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. "
37202 "� I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of
mine for you all making request with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from
the first day until now ; being confident of this very thing, that he which hath
begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ : even as it
is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart ; inasmuch
as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are
partakers of my grace. For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in
the bowels of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and
more in knowledge and in all judgment ; that ye may approve things that are
excellent ; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ ;
being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the
glory and praise of God. "
37952 "� I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, hearing of
thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints ;
that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of
every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. For we have great joy and
consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee,
brother. "
21596 "� I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. And I gave my heart to
seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven :
this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. I
have seen all the works that are done under the sun ; and, behold, all is vanity
and vexation of spirit. That which is crooked cannot be made straight : and that
which is wanting cannot be numbered. � I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo,
I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been
before me in Jerusalem : yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and
knowledge. And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly : I
perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief :
and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. "
35332 "� I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to
the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Which thing I also did in Jerusalem : and many of
the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief
priests ; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. And I
punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme ; and being
exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities. "
27860 � I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and
seek my face : in their affliction they will seek me early.
23662 "� I will mention the loving-kindnesses 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 loving-kindnesses. For he said,
Surely they are my people, children that will not lie : so he was their Saviour. 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. � But they rebelled, and vexed his Holy Spirit : therefore he
was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. 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 shepherd of his flock ? where is he that put his Holy Spirit
within him ? that led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm,
dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name ? that led them
through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble ? "
38768 � I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for
his name�s sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from
the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked
one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have
written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I
have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God
abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. � Love not the world, neither
the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father
is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of
the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the
world passeth away, and the lust thereof : but he that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever.
38909 � I wrote unto the church : but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the
preeminence among them, receiveth us not. Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his
deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words : and not content
therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that
would, and casteth them out of the church.
38394 � If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but
deceiveth his own heart, this man�s religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their
affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
6532 � If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, and give
occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I
took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid :
33879 "� If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye
were of the world, the world would love his own ; but because ye are not of the
world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you ; if they have kept my
saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for
my name�s sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and
spoken unto them, they had not had sin ; but now they have no cloak for their sin.
He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works
which none other man did, they had not had sin : but now have they both seen and
hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be
fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 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 testify of me : "
6316 "� If there be among you a poor man of 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 : but thou shalt open thine hand
wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he
wanteth. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The
seventh year, the year of release, is at hand ; and thine eye be evil against thy
poor brother, and thou givest him nought ; and he cry unto the Lord against thee,
and it be sin unto thee. 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 works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
For the poor shall never cease out of the land : therefore I command thee, saying,
Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in
thy land. "
37703 � If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a
good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good
doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives� fables,
and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little :
but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now
is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation. For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in
the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. �
These things command and teach.
21692 "� If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of
judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter : for he that is
higher than the highest regardeth ; and there be higher than they. Moreover the
profit of the earth is for all : the king himself is served by the field. � He that
loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver ; nor he that loveth abundance
with increase : this is also vanity. � When goods increase, they are increased that
eat them : and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of
them with their eyes ? � The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat
little or much : but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. �
There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the
owners thereof to their hurt. But those riches perish by evil travail : and he
begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. As he came forth of his mother�s
womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor,
which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a sore evil, that in all
points as he came, so shall he go : and what profit hath he that hath labored for
the wind ? All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and
wrath with his sickness. � Behold that which I have seen : it is good and comely
for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he taketh
under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him : for it is his
portion. 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 labor ;
this is the gift of God. For he shall not much remember the days of his life ;
because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. "
23562 "� If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my
holy day ; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable ; and
shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor
speaking thine own words : then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord ; and I will
cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the
heritage of Jacob thy father : for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. "
38739 � If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not
in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
33846 "� If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he
shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever ; even the
Spirit of truth ; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither
knoweth him : but ye know him ; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. � I
will not leave you comfortless : I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the
world seeth me no more ; but ye see me : because I live, ye shall live also. At
that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 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 to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world ? Jesus answered and said unto
him, If a man love me, he will keep my words : and my Father will love him, and we
will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not
my sayings : and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father�s which sent
me. � These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall
teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you. 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 afraid.
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved
me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father : for my Father is
greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is
come to pass, ye might believe. "
30366 "� Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken : and then shall appear the sign of the
Son of man in heaven : and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. � Now
learn a parable of the fig tree ; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth
leaves, ye know that summer is nigh : so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these
things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This
generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth
shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. "
22470 "� In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an
uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel : and there
shall be desolation. Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast
not been mindful of the Rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant
plants, and shalt set it with strange slips : in the day shalt thou make thy plant
to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish : but the harvest
shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. � Woe to the multitude
of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas ; and to the rushing
of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters ! The nations
shall rush like the rushing of many waters : but God shall rebuke them, and they
shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the
wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. And behold at eveningtide
trouble ; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil
us, and the lot of them that rob us. "
22128 � In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the
fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of
Israel. 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 : 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. And the Lord will
create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud
and smoke by day, and the
22513 "� 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. 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 great one, and he shall deliver them. And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and
the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and
oblation ; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it. And the Lord
shall smite Egypt : he shall smite and heal it : and they shall return even to the
Lord, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them. � 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 serve with the Assyrians. �
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing
in the midst of the land : whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be
Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. "
28327 "� 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 : that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the
heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this. � 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. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of
Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them ; and they shall
plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof ; they shall also make gardens, and eat
the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be
pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. "
28494 "� In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will
gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted ; 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. And thou, O
tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it
come, even the first dominion ; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of
Jerusalem. � Now why dost thou cry out aloud ? is there no king in thee ? is thy
counselor perished ? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. Be in pain,
and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail : for now
shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou
shalt go even to Babylon ; there shalt thou be delivered ; there the Lord shall
redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. � Now also many nations are gathered
against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. "
32219 "� In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and
prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes : even so, Father ; for so it seemed
good in thy sight. All things are delivered to me of my Father : and no man knoweth
who the Son is, but the Father ; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom
the Son will reveal him. � And he turned him unto his disciples, and said
privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see : for I tell you,
that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and
have not seen them ; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard
them. "
12208 "� 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. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord : he departed
not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. He
restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain,
according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his
servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gath-hepher. For the
Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter : for there was not any
shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. 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. � Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that
he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath,
which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the
Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with
the kings of Israel ; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead. "
12253 � 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. And he did that which
was evil in the sight of the Lord : he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the
son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of
his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king�s
house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites : and he
killed him, and reigned in his room. And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all
that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of
Israel.
28827 "� 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, Thus saith the
Lord of hosts ; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, 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 be holy ? And the priests answered and said,
No. 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. 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. 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 : since those days
were, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten : when one
came to the pressvat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but
twenty. I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors
of your hands ; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord. Consider now from this day
and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day
that the foundation of the Lord�s temple was laid, consider it. "
33454 "� In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on
me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive :
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given ; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) "
12240 "� 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. And he did that
which was evil in the sight of the Lord : he departed not all his days from the
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. And Pul the king of
Assyria came against the land : and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver,
that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. 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. And the rest of the acts of Menahem,
and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the
kings of Israel ? And Menahem slept with his fathers ; and Pekahiah his son reigned
in his stead. "
12267 � In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham
the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign. 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. And he did that which was right in the sight of
the Lord : he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. Howbeit the
high places were not removed : the people sacrificed and burned incense still in
the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the Lord. 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 ? In those days the Lord began to send against
Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah. 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.
11363 � In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to
reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years. And he did evil in the
sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he
made Israel to sin.
12224 � In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the
son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months. And he did that which was
evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done : he departed not from the
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. And Shallum the son of
Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and
reigned in his stead. And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are
written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel. This was the word of
the Lord which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of
Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.
12151 "� 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. And he
did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord ; he departed not from all the
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin : but he walked therein. And
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 ? And Joash slept with his fathers ; and Jeroboam
sat upon his throne : and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. "
11980 "� 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. 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. And he walked in
the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the
house of Ahab : for he was the son-inlaw of the house of Ahab. � And he went with
Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead ;
and the Syrians wounded Joram. And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of
the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael
king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram
the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick. "
11367 � In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of
Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
12255 � 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. And he
did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord : he departed not from the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. � In the days of Pekah king of
Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah,
and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of
Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria. 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. And the
rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the
book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.
22412 "� In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. � Rejoice not thou, whole
Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken : for out of the
serpent�s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying
serpent. And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in
safety : and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. Howl,
O gate ; cry, O city ; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved : for there shall come
from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. � What
shall one then answer the messengers of the nation ? That the Lord hath founded
Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it. "
14658 "� In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the Lord :
and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign. 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. 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. "
37025 � In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according
to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will :
that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom
ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation : in whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy
Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of
the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
37342 "� In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins
: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature : for by
him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers :
all things were created by him, and for him : and he is before all things, and by
him all things consist : 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. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell ; and,
having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things
unto himself ; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
"
38495 "� Is any among you afflicted ? let him pray. Is any merry ? let him sing
psalms. Is any sick among you ? let him call for the elders of the church ; and let
them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord : and the prayer
of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have
committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and
pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much. Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are,
and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain : and it rained not on the earth by
the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave
rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. � Brethren, if any of you do err from
the truth, and one convert him ; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner
from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude
of sins. "
22769 � Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a
fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest ? 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. The meek also shall increase their joy in
the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. For the
terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch
for iniquity are cut off : that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare
for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
� 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. But
when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall
sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of
Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that
murmured shall learn doctrine.
29385 � It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement : but I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his
wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery : and
whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
38198 "� It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens
should be purified with these ; but the heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with
hands, which are the figures of the true ; but into heaven itself, now to appear in
the presence of God for us : nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the
high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others ; for then
must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world : but now once in the
end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment : so Christ
was once offered to bear the sins of many ; and unto them that look for him shall
he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. "
12587 "� 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. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord,
according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharaoh-nechoh 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 a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. "
14811 � 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. And when the year was expired, 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.
12615 � 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. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord,
according to all that his father had done. � At that time the servants of
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was
besieged. And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his
servants did besiege it. 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. 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. And he carried
away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten
thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths : none remained, save the
poorest sort of the people of the land. And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon,
and the king�s mother, and the king�s wives, and his officers, and the mighty of
the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. And all the
men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that
were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to
Babylon.
12600 "� Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign ; and he
reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother�s name was Zebudah, the daughter
of Pedaiah of Rumah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord,
according to all that his fathers had done. "
14799 � 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. Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him
in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of
the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. 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.
33765 "� Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on
him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light
into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if
any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not : for I came not to judge
the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him : the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him
in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself ; but the Father which sent me, he
gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. "
33575 "� Jesus heard that they had cast him out ; and when he had found him, he
said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God ? "
30235 � Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The stone which
the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner : this is the
Lord�s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes ? Therefore say I unto you, The
kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the
fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken : but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. � And when the chief priests
and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. But
when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took
him for a prophet.
29845 � Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things ? They say unto
him, Yea, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed
unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that is a householder, which
bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
33680 � Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a
cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, 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. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if
thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God ? Then they took away
the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and
said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me
always : but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe
that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth.
38971 "� John to the seven churches which are in Asia : � Grace be unto you, and
peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come ; and from the seven
Spirits which are before his throne ; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful
witness, and the firstbegotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the
earth. � Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and
hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father ; to him be glory and
dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he cometh with clouds ; and every eye
shall see him, and they also which pierced him : and all kindreds of the earth
shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. � I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty. "
31938 "� Judge not, and ye shall not be judged : condemn not, and ye shall not be
condemned : forgive, and ye shall be forgiven : give, and it shall be given unto
you ; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men
give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be
measured to you again. � And he spake a parable unto them ; Can the blind lead the
blind ? shall they not both fall into the ditch ? The disciple is not above his
master : but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. And why beholdest
thou the mote that is in thy brother�s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in
thine own eye ? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull 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 pull out the mote that is in thy brother�s eye. "
6370 "� Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord
thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes : and they shall judge the people with
just judgment. Thou shalt not wrest judgment ; thou shalt not respect persons,
neither take a gift : for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the
words of the righteous. That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou
mayest live, and inherit the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. � Thou shalt
not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the Lord thy God, which
thou shalt make thee. Neither shalt thou set thee up any image ; which the Lord thy
God hateth. "
36077 "� Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you ? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy ; for
the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. � Let no man deceive himself. If
any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he
may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God : for it is
written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth
the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men :
for all things are yours ; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or
life, or death, or things present, or things to come ; all are yours ; and ye are
Christ�s ; and Christ is God�s. "
36618 "� Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men ; but we are
made manifest unto God ; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our
behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not
in heart. For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God : or whether we be
sober, it is for your cause. For the love of Christ constraineth us ; because we
thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead : and that he died for
all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him
which died for them, and rose again. � Wherefore henceforth know we no man after
the flesh : yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth
know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature : old
things are passed away ; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of
God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the
ministry of reconciliation ; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world
unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them ; and hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God
did beseech you by us : we pray you in Christ�s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For
he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin ; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him. "
29437 � Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal : but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do
not break through nor steal : for where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.
36991 "� Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in
all good things. � Be not deceived ; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh
reap corruption ; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all
men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. "
35912 "� Let us not therefore judge one another any more : but judge this rather,
that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother�s way. I
know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself :
but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. But if thy
brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him
with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Let not then your good be evil spoken of : for
the kingdom of God is not meat and drink ; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in
the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God,
and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,
and things wherewith one may edify another. For meat destroy not the work of God.
All things indeed are pure ; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense.
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy
brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Hast thou faith ? have it to
thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he
alloweth. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of
faith : for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. "
32366 "� Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning ; and ye
yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the
wedding ; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
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 to sit down to
meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch,
or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this
know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he
would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. "
37683 "� Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much
wine, not greedy of filthy lucre ; holding the mystery of the faith in a pure
conscience. And let these also first be proved ; then let them use the office of a
deacon, being found blameless. Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers,
sober, faithful in all things. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling
their children and their own houses well. For they that have used the office of a
deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith
which is in Christ Jesus. "
38770 "� Little children, it is the last time : and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists ; whereby we know that
it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us ; for if they
had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us : but they went out,
that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an
unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you
because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the
truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ ? He is
antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the
same hath not the Father : [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father
also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If
that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall
continue in the Son, and in the Father. "
23677 "� Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and
of thy glory : where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and
of thy mercies toward me ? are they restrained ? Doubtless thou art our Father,
though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not : thou, O Lord, art
our Father, our Redeemer ; thy name is from everlasting. O Lord, why hast thou made
us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear ? Return for thy
servants� sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. The people of thy holiness have
possessed it but a little while : our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
We are thine : thou never barest rule over them ; they were not called by thy name.
"
33456 "� Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a
truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall
Christ come out of Galilee ? Hath not the Scripture said, That Christ cometh of the
seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was ? So there was a
division among the people because of him. And some of them would have taken him ;
but no man laid hands on him. "
33384 "� Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is a
hard saying ; who can hear it ? "
24475 "� Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets ; all my bones
shake : I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of
the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness. For the land is full of
adulterers ; for because of swearing the land mourneth ; the pleasant places of the
wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
For both prophet and priest are profane ; yea, in my house have I found their
wickedness, saith the Lord. Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways
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. And I have seen folly
in the prophets of Samaria ; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel
to err. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing : they
commit adultery, and walk in lies : they strengthen also the hands of evildoers,
that none doth return from his wickedness : they are all of them unto me as Sodom,
and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. 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. � Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words
of the prophets that prophesy unto you ; they make you vain : they speak a vision
of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. They say still unto them
that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace ; and they say unto every
one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon
you. "
36533 � Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not
as yet unto Corinth. Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers
of your joy : for by faith ye stand.
30056 "� Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his
fault between thee and him alone : if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy
brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that
in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he
shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the
church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican. Verily I say unto
you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven ; and whatsoever ye
shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. "
25068 � Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that
were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, and said unto him, Dost thou
certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah to slay thee ? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not. 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 slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee
should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish ? 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.
22111 � Moreover the Lord saith, 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 : therefore the Lord will smite with a scab
the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their
secret parts. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling
ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
2781 � Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15197 "� Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam
the son of Besodeiah ; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof,
and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. And next unto them repaired Melatiah
the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto
the throne of the governor on this side the river. Next unto him repaired Uzziel
the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the
son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.
And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of
Jerusalem. And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over
against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabniah.
Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahath-moab, repaired the other
piece, and the tower of the furnaces. And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of
Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters. � The
valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah ; they built it, and set
up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand
cubits on the wall unto the dung gate. � But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the
son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Beth-haccerem ; he built it, and set up the
doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. � But the gate of the
fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah ; he
built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the
bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king�s garden, and unto the
stairs that go down from the city of David. After him repaired Nehemiah the son of
Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Beth-zur, unto the place over against the
sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and unto the house of the
mighty. "
10502 "� Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel ; and David went
down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines : and David
waxed faint. And Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of
whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with
a new sword, thought to have slain David. But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored
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
light of Israel. "
26307 "� Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy
face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the
forest of the south field ; 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 burned therein.
And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it : it shall not be quenched.
"
12573 � Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the
images, 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 perform the words of the
law, which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of
the Lord.
29435 "� Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance :
for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say
unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head,
and wash thy face ; that thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father
which is in secret : and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
"
37391 "� Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth ; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is
idolatry : for which things� sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of
disobedience : in the which ye also walked sometime, when ye lived in them. But now
ye also put off all these ; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication
out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man
with his deeds ; and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after
the image of him that created him : "
33716 "� Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there : and they came
not for Jesus� sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised
from the dead. But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to
death ; because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on
Jesus. "
38368 "� My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations ;
knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have
her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. � If any of
you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and
upbraideth not ; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing
wavering : for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and
tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A
double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. � Let the brother of low degree
rejoice in that he is exalted : but the rich, in that he is made low : because as
the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a
burning heat, but it 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
ways. "
7832 "� Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her
towns, nor 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. And it came to pass, when Israel was
strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them
out. � Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer ; but the
Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. "
7844 "� Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the
inhabitants of Nahalol ; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became
tributaries. � Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the
inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor
of Rehob : but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the
land : for they did not drive them out. � Neither did Naphtali drive 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 tributaries unto them. � And the Amorites
forced the children of Dan into the mountain : for they would not suffer them to
come down to the valley : 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 tributaries. And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to
Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. "
23505 "� Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord,
speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people : neither let the
eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that
keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my
covenant ; Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and
a name better than of sons and of daughters : I will give them an everlasting name,
that shall not be cut off. � Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to
the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every
one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant ;
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 a house of prayer for all people. The Lord
God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him,
besides those that are gathered unto him. � All ye beasts of the field, come to
devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. His watchmen are blind : they are all
ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark ; sleeping, lying down, loving
to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are
shepherds that cannot understand : they all look to their own way, every one for
his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill
ourselves with strong drink ; and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more
abundant. "
33958 "� Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on
me through their word ; that they all may be one ; as thou, Father, art in me, and
I in thee, that they also may be one in us : that the world may believe that thou
hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that they may
be one, even as we are one : I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made
perfect in one ; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved
them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given
me, be with me where I am ; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me
: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the
world hath not known thee : but I have known thee, and these have known that thou
hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it ; that
the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. "
5987 � Neither shalt thou commit adultery. � Neither shalt thou steal. � Neither
shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor. � Neither shalt thou desire
thy neighbor�s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor�s house, his field, or
his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy
neighbor�s.
8941 "� Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel ; and they
said, Nay ; but we will have a king over us ; 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. And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the
ears of the Lord. 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.
"
29441 "� No man can serve two masters : for either he will hate the one, and love
the other ; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God and mammon. "
32036 "� No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or
putteth it under a bed ; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in
may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest ; neither
any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye
hear : for whosoever hath, to him shall be given ; and whosoever hath not, from him
shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. "
32286 � No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place,
neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the
light.
29488 "� 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. Many will
say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name ? and in thy
name have cast out devils ? and in thy name done many wonderful works ? And then
will I profess unto them, I never knew you : depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
"
4243 "� Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord
of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession,
shall be sold or redeemed : every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord. None
devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed ; but shall surely be put
to death. � 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. And if a man will
at all redeem aught of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. And
concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under
the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. 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 the change thereof shall be holy ; it shall not be redeemed. � These are the
commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount
Sinai. "
30674 � Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching
the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at hand : repent ye, and believe the gospel.
33252 � Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. For Jesus
himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country. Then when he
was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that
he did at Jerusalem at the feast : for they also went unto the feast. � So Jesus
came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a
certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
30676 � Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother
casting a net into the sea : for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come
ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they
forsook their nets, and followed him. And when he had gone a little further thence,
he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship
mending their nets. And straightway he called them : and they left their father
Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
31475 "� Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they
desired. And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made
insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. And the
multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. But
Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the
Jews ? For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. But the chief
priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. And
Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto
him whom ye call the King of the Jews ? And they cried out again, Crucify him. Then
Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done ? And they cried out the more
exceedingly, Crucify him. And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
� And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Pretorium ; and they call
together the whole band. And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of
thorns, and put it about his head, and began to salute him, Hail, King of the
Jews ! And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and
bowing their knees worshipped him. "
30556 � Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a
prisoner, whom they would. And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye
that I release unto you ? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ ? For he knew
that for envy they had delivered him.
31626 "� Now Elisabeth�s full time came that she should be delivered ; and she
brought forth a son. And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the Lord had
showed great mercy upon her ; and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass, that
on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child ; and they called him
Zechariah, after the name of his father. And his mother answered and said, Not so ;
but he shall be called John. And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred
that is called by this name. And they made signs to his father, how he would have
him called. And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John.
And they marveled all. And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed,
and he spake, and praised God. And fear came on all that dwelt round about them :
and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judea.
And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of
child shall this be ? And the hand of the Lord was with him. "
12165 "� Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the
king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father,
my father ! the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And Elisha said unto
him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. And he said to the
king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it : and
Elisha put his hands upon the king�s hands. And he said, Open the window eastward.
And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of
the Lord�s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria : for thou shalt
smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. 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. 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. � And
Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at
the coming in of the year. And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that,
behold, they spied a band of men ; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of
Elisha : and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he
revived, and stood up on his feet. � But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all
the days of Jehoahaz. And 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. "
32100 "� Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him : and he was
perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead ;
and of some, that Elijah had appeared ; and of others, that one of the old prophets
was risen again. And Herod said, John have I beheaded ; but who is this, of whom I
hear such things ? And he desired to see him. "
31697 "� Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the
feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus
tarried behind in Jerusalem ; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they,
supposing him to have been in the company, went a day�s journey ; and they sought
him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. "
36003 � Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye
all speak the same thing, and that there be no
35961 "� Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ�s sake, and for the
love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me ;
that I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea ; and that my
service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints ; that I may come
unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. Now the God of
peace be with you all. Amen. "
36270 � Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the
ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
36470 � Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia : for I do
pass through Macedonia.
14720 "� 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. And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that
was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had
gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and
of all Judah and Benjamin ; and they returned to Jerusalem. And they put it in the
hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and they gave
it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and amend the
house : "
25495 "� Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the
nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of
the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, and burned the house
of the Lord, and the king�s house ; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the
houses of the great men, burned he with fire : and all the army of the Chaldeans,
that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem
round about. Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive
certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that "
14828 "� Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord
spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the
spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his
kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All
the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me ; and he hath
charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among
you of all his people ? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up. "
12371 "� 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. 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. 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. 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. And
the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish to king
Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem : and they went up and came to
Jerusalem. And when they were "
30191 � Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he
saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves
only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow

in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of
Jozadak, and the remnant of their
36285 � Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together
not for the better, but for the worse.
33749 "� 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. Father, glorify thy name. Then
came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify
it again. The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said that it
thundered : others said, An angel spake to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice
came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world : now
shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the
earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should
die. The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for
ever : and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up ? who is this Son of
man ? Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk
while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you : for he that walketh in
darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light,
that ye may be the children of light. � These things spake Jesus, and departed, and
did hide himself from them. "
32050 "� Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his
disciples : and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake.
And they launched forth. But as they sailed, he fell asleep : and there came down a
storm of wind on the lake ; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. Then he
arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water : and they ceased, and
there was a calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith ? And they being
afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this ! for he
commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. "
32235 "� Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain
village : and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had
a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus� feet, and heard his word. But Martha
was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not
care that my sister hath left me to serve alone ? bid her therefore that she help
me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and
troubled about many things : but one thing is needful ; and Mary hath chosen that
good part, which shall not be taken away from her. "
10476 � Now Joab was over all the host of Israel : and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada
was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites : and Adoram was over the
tribute : and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder : and Sheva was scribe :
and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests : and Ira also the Jairite was a chief
ruler about David.
25040 "� Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to
Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying, Take him, and look well to him, and
do him no harm ; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee. So Nebuzar-adan
the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer,
Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon�s princes ; even they sent, and took Jeremiah
out of the court of the prison, 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. "
30536 "� Now Peter sat without in the palace : and a damsel came unto him, saying,
Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them all, saying, I know
not what thou sayest. And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw
him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of
Nazareth. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. And after a
while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one
of them ; for thy speech betrayeth thee. Then began he to curse and to swear,
saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the
word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. "
9643 � 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. And the Philistines gathered themselves together,
and came and pitched in Shunem : and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they
pitched in Gilboa. And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid,
and his heart greatly trembled. And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord
answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 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. � And Saul disguised himself, and put on
other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by
night : and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring
me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. 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 ?
36555 "� Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and
maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto
God a sweet savor of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish : to
the one we are the savor of death unto death ; and to the other the savor of life
unto life. And who is sufficient for these things ? For we are not as many, which
corrupt the word of God : but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God
speak we in Christ. "
29244 � Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise : When as his mother Mary
was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the
Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her
a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these
things, behold, the 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. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou
shalt call his name Jesus : for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all
this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him,
and took unto him his wife : and knew her not till she had brought forth her
firstborn son : and he called his name Jesus.
7800 � Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it,
and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. And afterward
the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the
mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
31042 � Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship
with them more than one loaf. And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. And they reasoned among
themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. And when Jesus knew it, he
saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread ? perceive ye not yet,
neither understand ? have ye your heart yet hardened ?
30467 "� Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to
Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the
passover ? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The
Master saith, My time is at hand ; I will keep the passover at thy house with my
disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them ; and they made ready
the passover. � Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as
they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And
they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord,
is it I ? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish,
the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him : but woe
unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed ! it had been good for that man if
he had not been born. Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is
it I ? He said unto him, Thou hast said. � And as they were eating, Jesus took
bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take,
eat ; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,
saying, Drink ye all of it ; "
38356 "� Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is
well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ ; to whom be glory for ever and
ever. Amen. � And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation : for I
have written a letter unto you in few words. Know ye that our brother Timothy is
set at liberty ; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. Salute all them
that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. Grace be
with you all. Amen. "
37610 � Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord
be with you all.
30621 � Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief
priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember that that
deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command
therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples
come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the
dead : so the last error shall be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them, Ye
have a watch : go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the
sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
14673 � Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are
written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of
the kings of Judah and Israel. And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried
him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David : and all Judah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned
in his stead.
12585 "� 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 ? In his days Pharaoh-
nechoh 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. 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. "
12503 � 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
? 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.
14700 � 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 God of Israel, behold,
they are written in the book of the kings of Israel. His prayer also, and how God
was entreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he
built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled :
behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers. So Manasseh slept with his
fathers, and they buried him in his own house : and Amon his son reigned in his
stead.
13983 � Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written
in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and
in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat ? And Solomon
reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. And Solomon slept with his
fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father : and Rehoboam his son
8760 "� Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial ; they knew not the Lord. And the
priest�s custom 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 ; and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot ;
all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in
Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither. Also before they burnt the fat,
the priest�s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast
for the priest ; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. And if any man
said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much
as thy soul desireth ; then he would "
13968 "� Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred
and threescore and six talents of gold ; besides that which chapmen and merchants
brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and
silver to Solomon. And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold : six
hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target. And three hundred shields made
he of beaten gold : three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king
put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover the king made a great
throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. And there were six steps to the
throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on
each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays : 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. And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were
of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure
gold : none were of silver ; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of
Solomon. For the king�s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram : every
three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and
apes, and peacocks. "
11112 "� Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred
threescore and six talents of gold, besides that he had of the merchantmen, and of
the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the
governors of the country. And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten
gold : six hundred shekels of gold went to one target. 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. Moreover, the king made a great throne
of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. "
25042 "� Now the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the
court of the prison, saying, 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 in that
day before thee. 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. For I will
surely deliver 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. "
34582 "� Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by
interpretation is called Dorcas [doe, or roe] : this woman was full of good works
and almsdeeds which she did. And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick,
and died : whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. And
forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was
there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to
them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into
the upper chamber : and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats
and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. But Peter put them all
forth, and kneeled down, and prayed ; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha,
arise. And she opened her eyes : and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave
her his hand, and lifted her up ; and when he had called the saints and widows, he
presented her alive. And it was known throughout all Joppa ; and many believed in
the Lord. And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a
tanner. "
7767 "� Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth ; and
put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in
Egypt ; and serve ye the Lord. 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 on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose
land ye dwell : but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. � And the
people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve
other gods ; for the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in
our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the
people through whom we passed : and the Lord drave out from before us all the
people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land : therefore will we also serve
the Lord ; for he is our God. � And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve
the Lord : for he is a holy God ; he is a jealous God ; he will not forgive your
transgressions nor your sins. If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, then
he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
And the people said unto Joshua, Nay ; but we will serve the Lord. 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. Now therefore put away, said
he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God
of Israel. And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God will we serve, and his
voice will we obey. So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set
them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. "
8147 "� Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made
Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have
done unto him according to the deserving of his hands : (for my father fought for
you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian : 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 :) if ye then
have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then
rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you : 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. And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there,
for fear of Abimelech his brother. � When Abimelech had reigned three years over
Israel, then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem ; and
the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech : that the cruelty done to
the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon
Abimelech their brother, which slew them, and upon the men of Shechem, which aided
him in the killing of his brethren. And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for
him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by
them : and it was told Abimelech. � And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his
brethren, and went over to Shechem : and the men of Shechem put their confidence in
him. And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the
grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and
drink, and cursed Abimelech. "
661 "� Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham�s son, whom Hagar the
Egyptian, Sarah�s handmaid, bare unto Abraham : and these are the names of the sons
of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations : the firstborn of
Ishmael, Nebajoth ; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, and Mishma, and Dumah, and
Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah : these are the sons of
Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles ; twelve
princes according to their nations. And these are the years of the life of Ishmael,
a hundred and thirty and seven years : and he gave up the ghost and died, and was
gathered unto his people. And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before
Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria : and he died in the presence of all his
brethren. "
185 "� Now these are the generations of Terah : Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and
Haran ; and Haran begat Lot. And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of
his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 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. But Sarai was barren ; she
had no child. � 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. And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years : and
Terah died in Haran. "
12916 � Now these are their dwelling places throughout their castles in their
coasts, of the sons of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites : for theirs was
the lot. And they gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, and the suburbs thereof
round about it. But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, they gave to
Caleb the son of Jephunneh. And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of Judah,
namely, Hebron, the city of refuge, and Libnah with her suburbs, and Jattir, and
Eshtemoa, with their suburbs, and Hilen with her suburbs, Debir with her suburbs,
and Ashan with her suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with her suburbs :
36249 "� Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after
evil things, as they also lusted. 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.
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day
three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also
tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also
murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto
them for ensamples : and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of
the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he
fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man : but God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will
with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. �
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men ; judge ye
what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the
blood of Christ ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of
Christ ? For we being many are one bread, and one body : for we are all partakers
of that one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh : are not they which eat of the
sacrifices partakers of the altar ? What say I then ? that the idol is any thing,
or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing ? 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 fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of
the Lord, and the cup of devils : ye cannot be partakers of the Lord�s table, and
of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy ? are we stronger than
he ? "
34677 � Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about
Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word
to none but unto the Jews only. And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene,
which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord
Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them : and a great number believed, and
turned unto the Lord. Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church
which was in Jerusalem : and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as
Antioch. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted
them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. For he was a
good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith : and much people was added unto
the Lord. Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul : and when he had
found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they
assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples
were called Christians first in Antioch. � And in these days came prophets from
Jerusalem unto Antioch. And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified
by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world : which
came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. Then the disciples, every man
according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt
in Judea : which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas
and Saul.
2747 "� Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar ; two lambs of the
first year day by day continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning ;
and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even : and with the one lamb a tenth deal of
flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil ; and the fourth part of
a hin of wine for a drink offering. And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even,
and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according
to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the
Lord. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord, where I will meet you,
to speak there unto thee. And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and
the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. And I will sanctify the tabernacle
of the congregation, and the altar : I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons,
to minister to me in the priest�s office. And I will dwell among the children of
Israel, and will be their God. 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. "
35979 � Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the
preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was
kept secret since the world began,
38961 � Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you
faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God
our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
37608 "� Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after
the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow
us : for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you ; neither did we eat any
man�s bread for nought ; but wrought with labor and travail night and day, that we
might not be chargeable to any of you : not because we have not power, but to make
ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. For even when we were with you, this
we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear
that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are
busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ,
that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not
weary in well doing. � And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that
man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an
enemy, but admonish him as a brother. "
31740 "� Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also
being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in
a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou
art my beloved Son ; in thee I am well pleased. "
33167 "� Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many
believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not
commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, and needed not that any should
testify of man ; for he knew what was in man. "
29321 "� Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into
Galilee ; and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the
seacoast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali : that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, The land of Zebulun, and the land of
Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles ; the
people which sat in darkness saw great light ; and to them which sat in the region
and shadow of death light is sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and
to say, Repent : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. "
29525 "� Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to
depart unto the other side. And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I
will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have
holes, and the birds of the air have nests ; but the Son of man hath not where to
lay his head. "
30452 "� Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, there came
unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it
on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had
indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste ? For this ointment might have
been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto
them, Why trouble ye the woman ? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye
have the poor always with you ; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath
poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also
this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. "
31526 � Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first
to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. And she went and told them
that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
29674 "� Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of
his disciples, and said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for
another ? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things
which ye do hear and see : the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the
lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have
the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in
me. � And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John,
What went ye out into the wilderness to see ? A reed shaken with the wind ? But
what went ye out for to see ? A man clothed in soft raiment ? behold, they that
wear soft clothing are in kings� houses. But what went ye out for to see ? A
prophet ? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it
is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy
way before thee. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there
hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist : notwithstanding, he that is least
in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist
until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by
force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will
receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let
him hear. � But whereunto shall I liken this generation ? It is like unto children
sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, and saying, We have piped
unto you, and ye have not danced ; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not
lamented. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
"
34738 � Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in
Pamphylia : and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. But when they
departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue
on the sabbath day, and sat down. And after the reading of the law and the
prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren,
if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. Then Paul stood up, and
beckoning with his hand said, � Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when
they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought he them
out of it. And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the
wilderness. And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he
divided their land to them by lot.
31818 "� Now 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. And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art
Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak : for they
knew that he was Christ. "
34878 "� Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and
were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, after they were come
to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia : but the Spirit suffered them not. And
they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the
night ; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into
Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored
to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach
the gospel unto them. "
34306 "� Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they
were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled ; and they took knowledge of them,
that they had been with Jesus. And beholding the man which was healed standing with
them, they could say nothing against it. But when they had commanded them to go
aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, saying, What shall we do
to these men ? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest
to all them that dwell in Jerusalem ; and we cannot deny it. But that it spread no
further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth
to no man in this name. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at
all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them,
Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God,
judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. So when
they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might
punish them, because of the people : for all men glorified God for that which was
done. For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was
showed. "
30639 � Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and
showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were
assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the
soldiers, saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we
slept. And if this come to the governor�s ears, we will persuade him, and secure
you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught : and this saying is
commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
34940 � Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him,
when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. Therefore disputed he in the
synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with
them that met with him. Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the
Stoics, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say ? other some, He
seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods : because he preached unto them Jesus,
and the resurrection. And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus [Mars hill.
It was the highest court in Athens], saying, May we know what this new doctrine,
whereof thou speakest, is ? For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears :
we would know therefore what these things mean.
22290 "� O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine
indignation. I will send him against a hypocritical 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. Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither
doth his heart think so ; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not
a few. For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings ? Is not Calno as
Carchemish ? is not Hamath as Arpad ? is not Samaria as Damascus ? As my hand hath
found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of
Jerusalem and of Samaria ; shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols,
so do to Jerusalem and her idols ? � 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. For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my
wisdom ; for I am prudent : and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have
robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man :
and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people : and as one gathereth
eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth ; and there was none that moved
the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. � Shall the axe boast itself against him
that heweth therewith ? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it
? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the
staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood. Therefore shall the Lord, the

kindle a burning like the burning of a fire. "
22079 "� O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be
replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they
please themselves in the children of strangers. Their land also is full of silver
and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures ; their land is also full of
horses, neither is there any end of their chariots : their land also is full of
idols ; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have
made : and the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself : therefore
forgive them not. Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the
Lord, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,
and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down ; and the Lord alone shall be
exalted in that day. � For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one
that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up ; and he shall be
brought low : and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and
upon all the oaks of Bashan, and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the
hills that are lifted up, and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. "
30335 � O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them
which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together,
even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not ! Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate. 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.
24390 "� O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived : thou art stronger than
I, and hast prevailed : I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. For since I
spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil ; because the word of the Lord was
made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily. Then I said, I will not make
mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a
burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not
stay. For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and
we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he
will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on
him. But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one : therefore my persecutors
shall stumble, and they shall not prevail : they shall be greatly ashamed ; for
they shall not prosper : their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. But,
O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let
me see thy vengeance on them : for unto thee have I opened my cause. Sing unto the
Lord, praise ye the Lord : for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand
of evildoers. � Cursed be the day wherein I was born : let not the day wherein my
mother bare me be blessed. Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father,
saying, A man child is born unto thee ; making him very glad. "
24252 "� O Lord, thou knowest : remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my
persecutors ; take me not away in thy long-suffering : know that for thy sake I
have suffered rebuke. Thy words were found, and I did eat them ; and thy word was
unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart : for I am called by thy name, O Lord
God of hosts. I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced ; I sat alone
because of thy hand : for thou hast filled me with indignation. Why is my pain
perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed ? wilt thou be
altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail ? � Therefore thus saith the
Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before
me : and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth :
let them return unto thee ; but return not thou unto them. "
23473 "� O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will
lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will
make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of
pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord ; and great
shall be the peace of thy children. 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. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by
me : whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold,
I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth
forth an instrument for his work ; and I have created the waster to destroy. No
weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper ; and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants
of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. "
2924 "� 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. 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 : but ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their
groves : for thou shalt worship no other god : for the Lord, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God. 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 ; 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. � Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. "

that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to
meet him, and cried, Hosanna : Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the
name of the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon ; as it is
written, Fear not, daughter of Zion : behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass�s
colt. 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. The people therefore that was with him when he
called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. For
this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this

seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, to bring
Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the
princes her beauty : for she was fair to look on. But the queen Vashti refused to
come at the king�s commandment by his chamberlains : therefore was the king very
wroth, and his anger burned in him. � 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

and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king�s face, and
which sat the first in the kingdom,) What shall we do unto the queen Vashti
according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king
Ahasuerus by the chamberlains ? And Memucan answered before the king and the
princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the
princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall
despise their husbands 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. Likewise
shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king�s princes,
which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt
and wrath. If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and

altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus ; and let the king give her
royal estate unto another that is better than she. "

inquisition : and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified
falsely against his brother ; then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have

good to him that walketh uprightly ? Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy

averse from war. The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses
; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. Arise ye, and depart ;
for this is not your rest : because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with
a sore destruction. If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I

shall be spoiled. � Thus saith the Lord ; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth

you, great is my glorying of you : I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful
in all our tribulation. � For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no

off : and he shall speak peace unto the heathen : and his dominion shall be from
sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. � As for thee

wherein is no water. Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope : even today
do I declare that I will render double unto thee ; when I have bent Judah for me,

11459 � So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets
together unto mount Carmel.
9360 � So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all
that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. And it was
told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah. And Saul sent messengers to
take David : and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel
standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul,
and they also prophesied. And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and
they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they
prophesied also. Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in
Sechu : and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David ? And one said, Behold,
they be at Naioth in Ramah. And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah : and the Spirit
of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth
in Ramah. And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in
like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they
say, Is Saul also among the prophets ?
13192 � So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the
entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim. And David went up,
and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to
bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose
name is called on it. And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the
house of Abinadab : and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
13365 � So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among
all his people.
10723 � So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
8077 "� So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside
of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch ; and they had but newly set the
watch : and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their
hands. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held
the lamps 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. And they stood every man in
his place round about the camp : and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. And the
three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every man�s sword against his
fellow, even throughout all the host : and the host fled to Beth-shittah in
Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath. And the men of Israel
gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all
Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites. � And Gideon sent messengers throughout
all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them
the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered
themselves together, and took the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. And they took
two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb ; and they slew Oreb upon the rock
Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought
the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan. "
12176 "� So Hazael king of Syria died ; and Ben-hadad his son reigned in his stead.
And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of
Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by
war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel. "
11529 � 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 by
him, and cast his mantle upon him. 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 ? And he
returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their
flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat.
Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
13303 "� 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 :
and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight ; Obededom also the son of
Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters : "
15172 "� So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. And I arose in the
night, I and some few men with me ; neither told I any man what my God had put in
my heart to do at Jerusalem : neither was there any beast with me, save the beast
that I rode upon. And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before
the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which
were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire. Then I went on to
the gate of the fountain, and to the king�s pool : but there was no place for the
beast that was under me to pass. Then went I up in the night by the brook, and
viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so
returned. 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. � Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress
that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with
fire : "
12009 "� So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram.
(Now Joram had kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of
Syria. 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
it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell
it in Jezreel. 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. � And there stood a
watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and
said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and
let him say, Is it peace ? 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. 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. 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. � And Joram said, Make ready. And his
chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went
out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the
portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 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 ? And Joram turned his hands,
and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah. "
10461 "� So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. And
one of Joab�s men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that is for
David, let him go after Joab. And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the
highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out
of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every
one that came by him stood still. When he was removed out of the highway, all the
people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. � And he went
through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the
Berites : and they were gathered together, and went also after him. And they came
and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city,
and it stood in the trench : and all the people that were with Joab battered the
wall, to throw it down. 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. And when he
was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab ? And he answered, I am he.
Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do
hear. 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. I am one of them
that are peaceable and faithful in Israel : thou seekest to destroy a city and a
mother in Israel : why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord ? And Joab
answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or
destroy. The matter is not so : but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri
by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David : deliver him
only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his
head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. "
7356 "� So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and
all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel,
and the valley of the same ; "
2212 "� So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the
wilderness of Shur ; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no
water. 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 [bitterness]. And
the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink ? And he cried unto
the Lord ; and the Lord showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters,
the waters were made sweet. � There he made for them a statute and an ordinance,
and there he proved them, and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of
the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear
to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases
upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians : for I am the Lord that healeth
thee. � And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and
ten palm trees : and they encamped there by the waters. "
10633 "� 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. And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy
it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the
people, It is enough : stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the
threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite. 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
wickedly : but these sheep, what have they done ? let thine hand, I pray thee, be
against me, and against my father�s house. � And Gad came that day to David, and
said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Araunah
the Jebusite. And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the Lord
commanded. And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward
him : and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the
ground. And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant ? And
David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord,
that the plague may be stayed from the people. And Araunah said unto David, Let my
lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him : behold, here be oxen
for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen
for wood. All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah
said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee. And the king said unto Araunah,
Nay ; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price : neither will I offer burnt
offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought
the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. "
7174 "� So the Lord was with Joshua ; and his fame was noised throughout all the
country. "
10103 "� So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent
him for. And the messenger said unto David, Surely 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. And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants ; and some
of the king�s servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
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. �
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for
her husband. And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his
house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had
done displeased the Lord. "
31545 � So then, after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into
heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every
where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.
Amen.
5724 � So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your
generations in all your dwellings. Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be
put to death by the mouth of witnesses : but one witness shall not testify against
any person to cause him to die. Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the
life of a murderer, which is guilty of death : but he shall be surely put to death.
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge,
that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. So
ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are : for blood it defileth the land : and
the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of
him that shed it. Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I
dwell : for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.
34725 "� So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia ; and
from thence they sailed to Cyprus. And when they were at Salamis, they preached the
word of God in the synagogues of the Jews : and they had also John to their
minister. And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain
sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus : which was with the
deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man ; who called for Barnabas and
Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. "
34144 "� So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jona,
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. He saith to him again the second time,
Simon, son of Jona, lovest thou me ? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord ; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third
time, Simon, son of Jona, 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.
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. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had
spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. "
34860 � So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch : and when they had
gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle : which when they had
read, they rejoiced for the consolation. And Judas and Silas, being prophets also
themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them. And after
they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto
the apostles. Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still. Paul also and
Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with
many others also.
38464 � Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his
brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law :
but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. There is
one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy : who art thou that judgest
another ?
22755 "� Stay yourselves, and wonder ; cry ye out, and cry : they are drunken, but
not with wine ; they stagger, but not with strong drink. For the Lord hath poured
out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes : the prophets and
your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all 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 : and
the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee :
and he saith, I am not learned. � Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people
draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed
their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men :
therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a
marvelous work and a wonder : for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and
the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. � 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 ? Surely your turning of things upside down
shall be esteemed as the potter�s clay : for shall the work say of him that made
it, He made "
30054 "� Take heed 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. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. How think ye ? if
a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the
ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone
astray ? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of
that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not
the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should
perish. "
5918 "� Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves ; for ye saw no manner of
similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the
fire ; lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of
any figure, the likeness of male or female, the likeness of any beast that is on
the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, the likeness of
any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the
waters beneath the earth : 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,
shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath
divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. "
36944 "� Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law ? For
it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a
free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh ; but he of
the free woman was by promise. Which things are an allegory : for these are the two
covenants ; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is
Hagar. For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which
now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free,
which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest
not ; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not : for the desolate hath many
more children than she which hath a husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are
the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted
him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the
Scripture ? Cast out the bondwoman and her son : for the son of the bondwoman shall
not be heir with the son of the free woman. So then, brethren, we are not children
of the bondwoman, but of the free. "
22547 � The burden of Dumah. � He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the
night ? Watchman, what of the night ? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and
also the night : if ye will inquire, inquire ye : return, come.
22549 � The burden upon Arabia. � In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye
traveling companies of Dedanim. The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water
to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. For they
fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the
grievousness of war. For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according
to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail : and the residue
of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be
diminished : for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
33131 "� The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip,
and saith unto him, Follow me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and
Peter. 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. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of
Nazareth ? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him,
and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile ! Nathanael saith
unto him, Whence knowest thou me ? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that
Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael
answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God ; thou art the King of
Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee
under the fig tree, believest thou ? thou shalt see greater things than these. And
he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven
open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. "
33352 "� The day following, when the people, which stood on the other side of the
sea, saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his
disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat,
but that his disciples were gone away alone ; (howbeit there came other boats from
Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had
given thanks :) when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his
disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. "
2926 "� The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat
unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib : for in the
month Abib thou camest out from Egypt. All that openeth the matrix is mine ; and
every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. But the
firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb : and if thou redeem him not,
then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem.
And none shall appear before me empty. � Six days thou shalt work, but on the
seventh day thou shalt rest : in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. And
thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the
feast of ingathering at the year�s end. "
33995 "� The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world ; I ever taught in the synagogue,
and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort ; and in secret have I said
nothing. Why askest thou me ? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them :
behold, they know what I said. And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers
which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the
high priest so ? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the
evil : but if well, why smitest thou me ? Now Annas had sent him bound unto
Caiaphas the high priest. "
34060 "� The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should
not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was a high
day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken
away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other
which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
already, they brake not his legs : but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his
side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record,
and his record is true ; and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
For these things were done, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him
shall not be broken. And again another Scripture saith, They shall look on him
whom they pierced. "
32567 � The law and the prophets were until John : since that time the kingdom of
God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and
earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
29439 � The light of the body is the eye : if therefore thine eye be single, thy
whole body shall be full of light. 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 that darkness !
28109 "� The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem ;
and the heavens and the earth shall shake : but the Lord will be the hope of his
people, and the strength of the children of Israel. "
22410 "� 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 : that I will break the
Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot : then shall his
yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. This is
the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth : and this is the hand that is
stretched out upon all the nations. For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who
shall disannul it ? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back ? "
23841 "� The Lord said also 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. And I said after she
had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her
treacherous sister Judah saw it. And I saw, when for all the causes whereby
backsliding Israel committed adultery, I had put her away, and given her a bill of
divorce ; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the
harlot also. And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she
defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. And yet for
all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart,
but feignedly, saith the Lord. � And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel
hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. Go and proclaim these words
toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord ; and I
will not cause mine anger to fall upon you : for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and
I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast
transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the "
22261 "� The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. And all
the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the
pride and stoutness of heart, The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with
hewn stones : the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his
enemies together ; 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. � For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth
them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts. Therefore the Lord will cut off from
Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. The ancient and honorable, he is
the head ; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. "
6715 "� The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten
before thy face : they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee
seven ways. The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and
in all that thou settest thine hand unto ; and he shall bless thee in the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee. The Lord shall establish thee a 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. And all people of the earth shall see that
thou art called by the name of the Lord ; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the
Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit
of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware

heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of
thine hand : and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And
the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail ; and thou shalt be above only,

30270 � The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no
resurrection, and asked him, saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no
children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Now there were with us seven brethren : and the first, when he had married a wife,
deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother : likewise the
second also, and the third, unto the seventh. And last of all the woman died also.
Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven ? for they all
had her. � Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
Scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor
are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the
resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God,
saying, 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. And when the multitude heard this,
they were astonished at his doctrine.
32450 "� The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get
thee out, and depart hence ; for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, Go
ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and
tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk today,
and tomorrow, and the day following : for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of
Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them
that are sent unto thee ; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as
a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not ! Behold, your house
is left unto you desolate : and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until
the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their
hand, and all that were with them : for they cried to God in the battle, and he was
entreated of them ; because they put their trust in him. And they took away their

thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men a hundred thousand. For there fell

heathen : thou art greatly despised. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee,
thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high ; that saith
in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground ? Though thou exalt thyself as
the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee

came to thee, would they not leave some grapes ? How are the things of Esau
searched out ! how are his hidden things sought up ! All the men of thy confederacy
have brought thee even to the border : the men that were at peace with thee have
deceived thee, and prevailed against thee ; they that eat thy bread have laid a
wound under thee : there is none understanding in him. Shall I not in that day,
saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the
mount of Esau ? And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that
every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. For thy violence

anger, saith the Lord ; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed
them : and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and
the princes, saith the Lord. � But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I
will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord. "

Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the
congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the

of Israel went onward in all their journeys : but if the cloud were not taken up,
then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. And his
father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so ? and he
also was a very goodly man ; and his mother bare him after Absalom. And he
conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest : and they
following Adonijah helped him. 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. � And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and
fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his
brethren the king�s sons, and all the men of Judah the king�s servants : "

Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel : the land is
not able to bear all his words. For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the
sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof ? And I answered
again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches, which through the two
golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves ? And he answered me and said,
Knowest thou not what these be ? And I said, No, my lord. Then said he, These are
the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do : for what things

Samaritan, and hast a devil ? Jesus answered, I have not a devil ; but I honor my
Father, and ye do dishonor me. And I seek not mine own glory : there is one that
seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he

beauty. Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath : and behold every one that is proud, and
abase him. Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low ; and tread down the
wicked in their place. Hide them in the dust together ; "
32770 "� Then began he to speak to the people this parable ; A certain man planted
a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long
time. And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give
him of the fruit of the vineyard : but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away
empty. And again he sent another servant : and they beat him also, and entreated
him shamefully, and sent him away empty. And again he sent a third : and they
wounded him also, and cast him out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall
I do ? I will send my beloved son : it may be they will reverence him when they see
him. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This
is the heir : come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast
him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the
vineyard do unto them ? He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give
the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. And he
beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the
builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner ? Whosoever shall fall
upon that stone shall be broken ; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind
him to powder. "
29691 � Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were
done, because they repented not : Woe unto thee, Chorazin ! woe unto thee,
Bethsaida ! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre
and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto
you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for
you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to
hell : for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in
Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be
more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
2268 "� Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 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. 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. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed : and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 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. "
30069 � Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin
against me, and I forgive him ? till seven times ? Jesus saith unto him, I say not
unto thee, Until seven times : but, Until seventy times seven. � Therefore is the
kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his
servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him
ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to
be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience
with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with
compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went
out, and found one of his fellow servants, which owed him a hundred pence : and he
laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And
his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience
with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not : but went and cast him into
prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellow servants saw what was done,
they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his
lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave
thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me :
32867 "� Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may
eat. And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare ? And he said unto
them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you,
bearing a pitcher of water ; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 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 ? And he shall show
you a large upper room furnished : there make ready. And they went, and found as he
had said unto them : and they made ready the passover. � And when the hour was
come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. "
33458 "� Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees ; and they said
unto them, Why have ye not brought him ? The officers answered, Never man spake
like this man. "
24910 "� Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel ; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words ? saith the Lord.
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink
wine, are performed ; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father�s
commandment : notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking ;
but ye hearkened not unto me. 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. Because the sons of Jonadab the
son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded
them ; but this people hath not hearkened unto me : therefore thus saith the Lord
God of hosts, the God of Israel ; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the
inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them : because
I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard ; and I have called unto them, but
they have not answered. � 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 hath commanded you ; 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. "
9172 "� Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying, 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 it grieved Samuel ; and he cried unto the Lord all
night. And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel,
saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about,
and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. And Samuel came to Saul : and Saul said
unto him, Blessed be thou of the Lord : I have performed the commandment of the
Lord. And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears,
and the lowing of the oxen which I hear ? 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. 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. � And Samuel said, When 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 ? 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. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord,
but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the Lord ? 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. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the
chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the
Lord thy God in Gilgal. "
10791 � Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood
before him.
32788 "� Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any
resurrection ; and they asked him, saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any
man�s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother
should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. There were therefore
seven brethren : and the first took a wife, and died without children. And the
second took her to wife, and he died childless. And the third took her ; and in
like manner the seven also : and they left no children, and died. Last of all the
woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she ? for
seven had her to wife. � And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this
world marry, and are given in marriage : "
32048 � Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for
the press. And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren
stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother
and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
29575 "� Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the
Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not ? And Jesus said unto them, Can the
children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them ? but
the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall
they fast. No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment ; for that which
is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles : else the bottles break, and the wine
runneth out, and the bottles perish : but they put new wine into new bottles, and
both are preserved. "
30156 "� Then came to him the mother of Zebedee�s children with her sons,
worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What
wilt thou ? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on
thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. But Jesus answered and
said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink
of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? They say unto
him, We are able. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with : but to sit on my right hand,
and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is
prepared of my Father. And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation
against the two brethren. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that
the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great
exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you : but whosoever will
be great among you, let him be your minister ; and whosoever will be chief among
you, let him be your servant : even as the Son of man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. "
29743 "� Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master,
we would see a sign from thee. 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 the prophet Jonah : "
31287 "� Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection ; and
they asked him, saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man�s brother die, and
leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his
wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were seven brethren : and the
first took a wife, and dying left no seed. And the second took her, and died,
neither left he any seed : and the third likewise. And the seven had her, and left
no seed : last of all the woman died also. In the resurrection therefore, when they
shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them ? for the seven had her to wife. � And
Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the
Scriptures, neither the power of God ? For when they shall rise from the dead, they
neither marry, nor are given in marriage ; but are as the angels which are in
heaven. And as touching the dead, that they rise ; have ye not read in the book of
Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ? He is not the God of the dead, but the God of
the living : ye therefore do greatly err. "
29302 � Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou
to me ? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now : for thus it
becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he
was baptized, went up straightway out of the water : and, lo, the heavens were
opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting
upon him : and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased.
30486 � Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto
the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter
and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith
he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death : tarry ye here, and
watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed,
saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me : nevertheless,
not as I will, but as thou wilt. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them
asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour ?
27522 � Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a
chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he
should be the third ruler in the kingdom. � In that night was Belshazzar the king
of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about
threescore and two years old.
27509 "� Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to
thyself, and give thy rewards to another ; yet I will read the writing unto the
king and make known to him the interpretation. O thou king, the most high God gave
Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor : and for
the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and
feared before him : whom he would he slew ; and whom he would he kept alive ; and
whom he would he set up ; and whom he would he put down. But when his heart was
lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne,
and they took his glory from him : 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 : they fed
him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven ; till he
knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth
over it whomsoever he will. And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine
heart, though thou knewest all this ; 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. � Then was the part of the hand sent
from him ; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written,
Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin. This is the interpretation of the thing : Mene ; God
hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Tekel ; Thou art weighed in the
balances, and art found wanting. Peres ; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the
Medes and Persians. "
32688 "� Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of
man shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall
be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on : and they shall scourge him,
and put him to death ; and the third day he shall rise again. And they understood
none of these things : and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the
things which were spoken. "
15523 "� Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two
great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon
the wall toward the dung gate : and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the
princes of Judah, and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, Judah, and Benjamin, and
Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, and certain of the priests� sons with trumpets ; namely,
Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son
of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph : and his brethren, Shemaiah, and
Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical
instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them. And at the
fountain gate, which was over against 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. � And the other company of them that gave thanks went over
against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from
beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall ; and from above the gate
of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of
Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate : and they stood still in
the prison gate. 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 : and the priests ; Eliakim,
Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets ;
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. Also
that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced : for God had made them
rejoice with great joy : the wives also and the children rejoiced : so that the joy
of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. "
15059 "� Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might
afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our
little ones, and for all our substance. For I was ashamed to require of the king a
band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way : because we
had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good
that seek him ; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
So we fasted and besought our God for this : and he was entreated of us. � Then I
separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of
their brethren with them, and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the
vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his
counselors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered : I even
weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels
a hundred talents, and of gold a hundred talents ; also twenty basins of gold, of a
thousand drams ; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold. And I said unto
them, Ye are holy unto the Lord ; the vessels are holy also ; and the silver and
the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God of your fathers. Watch ye, and
keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and
chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the
Lord. So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold,
and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God. � 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 of such as lay in wait by the way. And we came to Jerusalem, and
abode there three days. "
32806 "� Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, Beware
of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the
markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts ;
which devour widows� houses, and for a show make long prayers : the same shall
receive greater damnation. "
921 "� Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels ; and he
carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of
his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the
land of Canaan. And Laban went to shear his sheep : and Rachel had stolen the
images that were her father�s. And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian,
in that he told him not that he fled. So he fled with all that he had ; and he rose
up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. � And it
was told Laban on the third day, that Jacob was fled. And he took his brethren with
him, and pursued after him seven days� journey ; and they overtook him in the mount
Gilead. And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him,
Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. � Then Laban overtook
Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount : and Laban with his brethren
pitched in the mount of Gilead. And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that
thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives
taken with the sword ? Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from
me ; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with
songs, with tabret, and with harp ? And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my
daughters ? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. "
11223 "� Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein ; and went
out from thence, and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the
kingdom return to the house of David : if this people go up to do sacrifice 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 go again
to Rehoboam king of Judah. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of
gold, and 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. And he set the one
in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin : for the
people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made a house of high
places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of
Levi. 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 offered upon 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. So he offered upon the
altar which he had made in Beth-el the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in
the month which he had devised of his own heart ; and ordained a feast unto the
children of Israel : and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense. "
29948 � Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on
the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to
eat : and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. And his
disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as
to fill so great a multitude ? And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye ?
And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. And he commanded the multitude to
sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave
thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the
multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled : and they took up of the broken
meat that was left seven baskets full. And they that did eat were four thousand
men, beside women and children. And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and
came into the coasts of Magdala.
29825 "� Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house : and his
disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the
field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of
man ; the field is the world ; the good seed are the children of the kingdom ; but
the tares are the children of the wicked one ; the enemy that sowed them is the
devil ; the harvest is the end of the world ; and the reapers are the angels. As
therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire ; so shall it be in the end
of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather
out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity ; and shall
cast them into a furnace of fire : there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who
hath ears to hear, let him hear. "
29930 "� Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David ; my daughter is grievously
vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away ; for she crieth after us. But he answered and
said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she
and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet
to take the children�s bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord :
yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters� table. Then Jesus
answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith : be it unto thee even as
thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. "
7242 "� Then Joshua built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel in mount Ebal, as
Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in
the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath
lifted up any iron : and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the Lord, and
sacrificed peace offerings. 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. 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 he that was born among them ; half of them over
against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal ; as Moses the
servant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should bless the people of
Israel. And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings,
according to all that is written in the book of the law. "
7024 "� Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, Pass through the
host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals ; for within three days
ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your
God giveth you to possess it. � And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to
half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, Remember the word which Moses the
servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath given you rest,
and hath given you this land. Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall
remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan ; but ye shall pass
before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them ; 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 enjoy it, which Moses the Lord�s servant gave you
on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. And they answered Joshua, saying, All
that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
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. Whosoever he be that doth
rebel against thy commandment, and will 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. "
1455 "� Then Judah came near unto him, and said, O 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. My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye
a father, or a brother ? 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. And thou saidst unto thy servants,
Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. And we said unto my
lord, The lad cannot leave his father : for if he should leave his father, his
father would die. And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother
come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. And it came to pass when we came
up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. And our father
said, Go again, and buy us a little food. 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. And thy servant my father said unto
us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons : and the one went out from me, and I
said, Surely he is torn in pieces ; and I saw him not since : and if ye take this
also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with
sorrow to the grave. 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 ; 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. For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I
bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. "
30541 � Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned,
repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
blood. And they said, What is that to us ? see thou to that.
10680 "� Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba. And she came into
the king�s presence, and stood before the king. And the king sware, and said, As
the Lord liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, even as I sware
unto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign
after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead ; even so will I certainly do
this day. Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to
the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever. � 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. The king also 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 : "
33999 "� Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment : and it was
early ; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be
defiled ; but that they might eat the passover. "
28864 � Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 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. And the Lord showed me
four carpenters. Then said I, What come these to do ? And he spake, saying, These
are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up
33696 "� Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which
Jesus did, believed on him. But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and
told them what things Jesus had done. Then gathered the chief priests and the
Pharisees a council, and said, What do we ? for this man doeth many miracles. If we
let him thus alone, all men will believe on him ; and the Romans shall come and
take away both our place and nation. And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the
high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, nor consider
that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the
whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself : but being high priest
that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation ; and not for that
nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God
that were scattered abroad. Then from that day forth they took counsel together for
to put him to death. � Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews ; but
went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and
there continued with his disciples. � And the Jews� passover was nigh at hand : and
many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves. Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood
in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast ? "
4740 "� Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in
the door of his tent : and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly ; Moses also
was displeased. And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy
servant ? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the
burden of all this people upon me ? Have I conceived all this people ? have I
begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a
nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto
their fathers ? Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people ? for they
weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. I am not able to bear all
this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. And if thou deal thus with me,
kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight ; and let me
not see my wretchedness. � 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 tabernacle of the congregation, that
they may stand there with thee. 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.
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. Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days,
neither ten days, nor twenty days ; but even a whole month, until it come out at
your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you : because that ye have despised the
Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of
Egypt ? "
5945 "� Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising ;
"
13270 � Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into
the hand of Asaph and his brethren. Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the people.
30465 � Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you ? And
they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. And from that time he sought
opportunity to betray him.
34629 "� Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is
no respecter of persons : but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of
Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ : (he is Lord of all :) that word, I say,
ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after
the baptism which John preached ; how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth 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. And we are witnesses of all things
which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem ; whom they slew and
hanged on a tree : him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly ; not to
all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat
and drink with him after he rose from the dead. "
32381 "� Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or
even to all ? And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom
his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in
due season ? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he
hath. But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming ; and
shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be
drunken ; the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him,
and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint
him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord�s will,
and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with
many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall
be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much
required ; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. "
34146 "� Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following ;
which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that
betrayeth thee ? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do
? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee ?
follow thou me. "
12394 � Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews� language,
and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria : thus
saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you : for he shall not be able to deliver
you out of his hand : neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The
Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of
the king of Assyria. Hearken not to Hezekiah : for thus saith the king of Assyria,
Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every
man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the
waters of his cistern : 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. Hath any of the gods of the
nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria ? Where
are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad ? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and
Ivah ? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand ? Who are they among all the
gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the
Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand ? � But the people held their peace,
and answered him not a word : for the king�s commandment was, saying, Answer him
not. 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 Rab-shakeh.
34180 "� Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is
from Jerusalem a sabbath day�s journey. And when they were come in, they went up
into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,
Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon
Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. These all continued with one accord in
prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his
brethren. � And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and
said, (the number of names together were about a hundred and twenty,) Men and
brethren, this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by
the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took
Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now
this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity ; and falling headlong, he
burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto
all the dwellers at Jerusalem ; insomuch as that field is called, in their proper
tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. For it is written in the
book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein :
and, His bishopric let another take. "
12283 � 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. 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. 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. 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. And the king of Assyria hearkened
unto him : for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and
carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin. � And king Ahaz went to
Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at
Damascus : and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and
the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof. And Urijah the priest
built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus : so Urijah
the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus. And when the king was come
from Damascus, the king saw the altar : and the king approached to the altar, and
offered thereon. And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured
his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.
And he brought also the brazen altar, which was before the Lord, from the forefront
of the house, from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the
north side of the altar. And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon
the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and
the king�s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all
the people of the land, and their meat
14840 "� Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the
priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to
build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. And all they that were about
them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and
with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. 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 ; "
22947 "� Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rab-shakeh, 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. But Rab-
shakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these
words ? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat
their own dung, and drink their own piss with you ? � Then Rab-shakeh 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. Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive
you : for he shall not be able to deliver you. Neither let Hezekiah make you trust
in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us : this city shall not be
delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. Hearken not to Hezekiah : for thus
saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to
me : and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye
every one the waters of his own cistern ; 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. 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 ? Where
are the gods of Hamath and Arphad ? where are the gods of Sepharvaim ? and have
they delivered Samaria out of my hand ? Who are they among all the gods of these
lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver
Jerusalem out of my hand ? � But they held their peace, and answered him not a word
: for the king�s commandment was, saying, Answer him not. Then came Eliakim, the
son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the
son of Asaph, the "
32433 "� Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like ? and whereunto shall I
resemble it ? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into
his garden ; and it grew, and waxed a great tree ; and the fowls of the air lodged
in the branches of it. "
23043 "� Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts : 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. 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. Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou
hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days. "
33493 � Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and
shall die in your sins : whither I go, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews, Will he
kill himself ? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
33508 "� Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my
word, then are ye my disciples indeed ; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham�s seed, and were never in
bondage to any man : how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free ? � Jesus answered
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of
sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever : but the Son abideth ever.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. I know that ye
are Abraham�s seed ; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
I speak that which I have seen with my Father : and ye do that which ye have seen
with your father. "
33595 � Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the
door of the sheep.
33437 "� Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to
kill ? But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers
know indeed that this is the very Christ ? Howbeit we know this man whence he is :
but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. Then cried Jesus in the temple
as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am : and I am not come
of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him ; for I am
from him, and he hath sent me. Then they sought to take him : but no man laid hands
on him, because his hour was not yet come. And many of the people believed on him,
and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man
hath done ? "
28379 "� Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be
calm unto us ? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. 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. Nevertheless the men
rowed hard to bring it to the land ; but they could not : for the sea wrought, and
was tempestuous against them. 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. So
they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea : and the sea ceased from her
raging. Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the
Lord, and made vows. � Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.
And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. "
24349 "� 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. � Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the voice of them
that contend with me. Shall evil be recompensed for good ? for they have digged a
pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to
turn away thy wrath from them. Therefore deliver up their children to the famine,
and pour out their blood by the force of the sword ; and let their wives be
bereaved of their children, and be widows ; and let their men be put to death ; let
their young men be slain by the sword in battle. 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. Yet, Lord, thou knowest all their
counsel against me to slay me : forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their
sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee ; deal thus with them in
the time of thine anger. "
13821 "� Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the
tribes, the chief of the fathers 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. Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the
feast which was in the seventh month. And all the elders of Israel came ; and the
Levites took up the ark. "
33491 "� Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world : he
that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The
Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself ; thy record is
not true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet
my record is true : for I know whence I came, and whither I go ; but ye cannot tell
whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh ; I judge no man. And yet
if I judge, my judgment is true : for I am not alone, but I and the Father that
sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I
am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of
me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father ? Jesus answered, Ye neither know
me, nor my Father : if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. These
words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple : and no man laid
hands on him ; for his hour was not yet come. "
10990 "� Then spake Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick
darkness. I have surely built thee a house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to
abide in for ever. And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the
congregation of Israel : and all the congregation of Israel stood ; and he said,
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father,
and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 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 a house, that my name might be therein ; but I chose David to be over my
people Israel. And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the
name of the Lord God of Israel. "
28927 � 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.
33977 "� Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and
bound him, and led him away to Annas first ; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas,
which was the high priest that same year. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel
to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. "
13691 "� Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the
captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king�s work, offered
willingly, and gave, for the service of the house of God, of gold five thousand
talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass
eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. And they with
whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the Lord,
by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. Then the people rejoiced, for that they
offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord :
and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. � Wherefore David blessed the Lord
before all the congregation : and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel
our father, for ever and ever. 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. Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou reignest 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. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious
name. � 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. For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our
fathers : our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. O Lord
our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thine holy
name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. "
8218 � Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead.
And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will
begin to fight against the children of Ammon ? he shall be head over all the
inhabitants of Gilead.
7441 "� Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal : and Caleb the son
of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said
unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea. Forty years old
was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the
land ; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart. Nevertheless my
brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt : but I wholly
followed the Lord my God. And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land
whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children�s for
ever, because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God. "
30641 � Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where
Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him : but some
doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you : and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.
34358 � Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is
the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, and laid their hands
on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. But the angel of the Lord by
night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, Go, stand and
speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. And when they heard
that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. � But the high
priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all
the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and
told, saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers
standing without before the doors : but when we had opened, we found no man within.
Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard
these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
27548 "� Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the
den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto
Daniel : and 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
? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his
angel, and hath shut the lions� mouths, that they have not hurt me : forasmuch as
before him innocency was found in me ; and also before thee, O king, have I done no
hurt. Then was the king exceeding glad for him, 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 believed in his God. 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. � Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell
in all the earth ; Peace be multiplied unto you. I make a decree, That in every
dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel : for he is
the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be
destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. 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. � So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and
in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. "
11884 "� Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his
servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 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 come down. And the king of Israel sent to the place which
the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor
twice. � Therefore 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 show me which
of us is for the king of Israel ? And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O
king : but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the
words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. And he said, Go and spy where he is,
that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in
Dothan. Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host : and they
came by night, and compassed the city about. � And when the servant of the man of
God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host compassed the city both with
horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master ! how shall we
do ? And he answered, Fear not : for they that be with us are more than they that
be with them. 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 "
8402 "� Then 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. And when the people saw him, they praised
their god : for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the
destroyer of our country, which slew many of us. And it came to pass, when their
hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And
they called for Samson out of the prison house ; and he made them sport : and they
set him between the pillars. "
8359 "� Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves
in Lehi. And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us ? And they
answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us. Then
three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson,
Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us ? what is this that thou
hast done unto us ? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto
them. 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. 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 cords, and brought him up from the rock.
� And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him : and the Spirit
of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as
flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. And he
found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a
thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon
heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. And it came to pass,
when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand,
and called that place "
34098 � Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the
doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus
and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had so
said, he showed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad,
when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you : as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
32164 "� Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this 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 shall be great. "
32923 � Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest�s
house. And Peter followed afar off.
29727 "� Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb :
and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. And all the
people were amazed, and said, Is not this the Son of David ? But when the Pharisees
heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the
prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation ; and every city or house
divided against itself shall not stand : and if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided
against himself ; how shall then his kingdom stand ? "
34548 "� Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And
straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. But
all that heard him were amazed, and said ; Is not this he that destroyed them which
called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might
bring them bound unto the chief priests ? "
15697 "� Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart : but when
Haman saw Mordecai in the king�s gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he
was full of indignation against Mordecai. Nevertheless Haman refrained himself :
and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. And
Haman told them of 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. 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 am I invited unto her also with the king. Yet all this
availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king�s gate.
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of
fifty cubits high, and tomorrow 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. "
30254 "� Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in
his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying,
Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither
carest thou for any man : for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us
therefore, What thinkest thou ? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not ?
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites ?
Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto
them, Whose is this image and superscription ? They say unto him, Caesar�s. Then
saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar�s ;
and unto God the things that are God�s. When they had heard these words, they
marveled, and left him, and went their way. "
11394 "� 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. But
the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the
son of Ginath : so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. In the thirty and first year of
Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years : six years reigned
he in Tirzah. And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver,
and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the
name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria. � But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of
the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him. For he walked in all the way
of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to
provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger with their vanities. Now the rest of the
acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? So Omri slept with his fathers,
and was buried in Samaria : and Ahab his son reigned in his stead. "
30103 "� Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his
hands on them, and pray : and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer
little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me ; for of such is the kingdom
of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. "
33660 � Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days
already. Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs [or, about two
miles] off : and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming,
went and met him : but Mary sat still in the house. Then said Martha unto Jesus,
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now,
whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy
brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in
the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and
the life : he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live : and
whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this ? She
saith unto him, Yea, Lord : I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God,
which should come into the world.
5801 "� 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 when
ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the
hill. 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. So I spake unto you ; and
ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and went
presumptuously up into the hill. And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain,
came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even
unto Hormah. "
25002 "� 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. 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, wilt thou not hearken unto me ? 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. � Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts,
the God of Israel ; If thou wilt assuredly 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 : 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. "
14211 "� 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 ?
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an
inner chamber to hide thyself. Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and
carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king�s son ; 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. And Micaiah said,
If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the Lord spoken by me. And he
said, Hearken, all ye people. � So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of
Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I
will disguise myself, and will go to the battle ; but put thou on thy robes. So the
king of Israel disguised himself ; and they went to the battle. Now the king of
Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight
ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel. And it came to pass,
when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king
of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight : but Jehoshaphat cried out,
and the Lord helped him ; and God moved them to depart from him. For it came to
pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of
Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him. And a certain man drew a bow at a
venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness : therefore
he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the
host ; for I am wounded. 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 sun going down he died. "
28810 "� Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the
high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their
God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him, and
the people did fear before the Lord. Then spake Haggai the Lord�s messenger in the
Lord�s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord. And the Lord
stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and
the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all
the remnant of the people ; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of
hosts, their God, in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second
year of Darius the king. "
30789 � There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent
unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him,
Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answered them,
saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren ? And he looked round about on them which
sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren !
37968 "� There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus ; Mark,
Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers. � The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with your spirit. Amen. "
32571 � There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen,
and fared sumptuously every day :
31561 "� There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named
Zechariah, of the course of Abijah : and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron,
and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all
the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child,
because that Elisabeth was barren ; and they both were now well stricken in years.
� And it came to pass, that, while he executed the priest�s office before God in
the order of his course, according to the custom of the priest�s office, his lot
was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. And the whole
multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. "
28065 "� Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your
heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning : and rend your heart,
and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God : for he is gracious and
merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who
knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him ; even a meat
offering and a drink offering unto the Lord your God ? � Blow the trumpet in Zion,
sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly : "
14815 � Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their
young men with the sword in the house of their
29453 "� Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought 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 meat, and the body than raiment ? Behold the fowls of the air :
for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns ; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they ? Which of you by taking
thought can add one cubit unto his stature ? And why take ye thought for raiment ?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil not, neither do they
spin : and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. Wherefore, if God 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 ? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat ? or, What
shall we drink ? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed ? (For after all these things
do the Gentiles seek :) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all
these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness ; and all
these things shall be added unto you. � Take therefore no thought for the morrow :
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof. "
34890 "� Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to
Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis ; and from thence to Philippi, which is
the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony : and we were in that city
abiding certain days. And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side,
where prayer was wont to be made ; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which
resorted thither. And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city
of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us : whose heart the Lord opened, that she
attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. 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. � And it came to
pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination
met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying : the same followed Paul
and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which
show unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being
grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ
to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. � And when her masters saw that
the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into
the market place unto the rulers, and brought them to the magistrates, saying,
These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, and teach customs, which
are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. And the
multitude rose up together against them ; and the magistrates rent off their
clothes, and commanded to beat them. "
6177 "� Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day,
that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess
it ; and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your
fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and
honey. 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 : "
34487 � Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the
word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake,
hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud
voice, came out of many that were possessed with them : and many taken with
palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city. �
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used
sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some
great one : to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying,
This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of
long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
24560 "� Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God
of Israel ; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because
of the sword which I will send among you. 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 certainly drink. For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city
which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished ? Ye shall not be
unpunished : for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
saith the Lord of hosts. � 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 upon his habitation ; he shall give a
shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. A
noise shall come even to the ends of the earth ; for the Lord hath a controversy
with the nations : he will plead with all flesh ; he will give them that are wicked
to the sword, saith the Lord. � Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go
forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the
coasts of the earth. 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 ground. Howl, ye
shepherds, and cry ; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the
flock : for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished ;
and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. And the shepherds shall have no way to
flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. A voice of the cry of the
shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard : for the
Lord hath spoiled their pasture. And the peaceable habitations are cut down because
of the fierce anger of the Lord. "
24183 "� Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word ; Thus saith the Lord God
of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine : and they shall say unto thee,
Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine ? 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. And I will dash
them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord :
I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. "
29490 "� Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will
liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock : and the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and
it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. "
26419 "� Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I will raise up
thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them
against thee on every side ; the Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and
Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them : all of them desirable young men,
captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses. And
they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an
assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet
round about : and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee
according to their judgments. And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they
shall deal furiously with thee : they shall take away thy nose and thine ears ; and
thy remnant shall fall by the sword : they shall take thy sons and thy daughters ;
and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire. They shall also strip thee out of
thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. 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. For thus saith the Lord
God ; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the
hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated : and they shall deal with thee
hatefully, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare :
and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy
whoredoms. I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after
the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols. Thou hast walked in
the way of thy sister ; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand. Thus saith
the Lord God ; Thou shalt drink of thy sister�s cup deep and large : thou shalt be
laughed to scorn and had in derision ; it containeth much. "
26749 "� Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel ; Thus ye
speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in
them, how should we then live ? 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 ? Therefore, 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 : as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in
the day that he turneth from his wickedness ; neither shall the righteous be able
to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. When I shall say to the
righteous, that he shall surely live ; if he trust to his own righteousness, and
commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered ; but for his
iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 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 ; "
33813 "� Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man
glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also
glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 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 to you. A new commandment I give unto you, That
ye love one another ; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this
shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. "
13105 � These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened
themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all
39 "� These are the generations of Noah : Noah was a just man and perfect in his
generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth. � The earth also was corrupt before God ; and the earth was filled with
violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt ; for all
flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 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. Make thee an ark of gopher wood ; rooms
shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And
this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of : The length of the ark shall be
three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty
cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it
above ; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof ; with lower,
second, and third stories shalt thou make it. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a
flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of
life, from under heaven ; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. But with
thee will I establish my covenant ; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy
sons, and thy wife, and thy sons� wives with thee. 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. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle
after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind ; two of
every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. "
168 � These are the generations of Shem : Shem was a hundred years old, and begat
Arphaxad two years after the flood : and Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five
hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. � And Arphaxad lived five and thirty
years, and begat Salah : And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and
three years, and begat sons and daughters. � And Salah lived thirty years, and
begat Eber : and Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and
begat sons and daughters. � And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg :
and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons
and daughters. � And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu :
11 � These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were
created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, and every
plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before
it grew : for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was
not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered
the whole face of the ground.
5367 � These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who
numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. But
among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered,
when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. For the Lord
had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a
man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
10583 "� These be the names of the mighty men whom David had : The Tachmonite that
sat in the seat, chief among the captains ; the same was Adino the Eznite : he
lifted up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time. � And after
him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with
David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to
battle, and the men of Israel were gone away : 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. � And
after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were
gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils : and
the people fled from the Philistines. "
33926 "� These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs : but the time cometh,
when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of
the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name : and I say not unto you, that I
will pray the Father for you : for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have
loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father,
and am come into the world : again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. � His
disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should
ask thee : by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them,
Do ye now believe ? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be
scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone : and yet I am not alone,
because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation : but be of good cheer ; I
have overcome the world. "
38857 "� These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son
of God ; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the
name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we
ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us : "
37685 � These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly : but if I
tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house
of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness : God was manifest in the
flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
29626 "� These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the
way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not : but go
rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,
cast out devils : freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor
silver, nor brass in your purses ; nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats,
neither shoes, nor yet staves : for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into
whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy ; and there
abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into a house, salute it. And if the house
be worthy, let your peace come upon it : but if it be not worthy, let your peace
return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye
depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 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. "
5989 "� 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 in two tables of stone, and delivered them
unto me. And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the
darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even
all the heads of your tribes, and your elders ; and ye said, Behold, the Lord our
God hath showed 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 talk with man, and he
liveth. 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. 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 ? 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. � 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. Oh that there were such a 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 ! "
33524 "� They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto
them, If ye were Abraham�s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye
seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God :
this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be
not born of fornication ; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If
God were your Father, ye would love me : for I proceeded forth and came from God ;
neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech ? even
because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of
your father ye will do : he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own : for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye
believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin ? And if I say the truth, why do
ye not believe me ? He that is of God heareth God�s words : ye therefore hear them
not, because ye are not of God. "
33559 � They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the
sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees
also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon
mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man
is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man
that is a sinner do such miracles ? And there was a division among them. They say
unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes ?
He said, He is a prophet. � But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he
had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that
had received his sight. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say
was born blind ? how then doth he now see ? His parents answered them and said, We
know that this is our son, and that he was born blind :
23201 "� They that make a graven image are all of them vanity ; and their
delectable things shall not profit ; and they are their own witnesses ; they see
not, nor know ; that they may be ashamed. Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven
image that is profitable for nothing ? Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed ;
and the workmen, they are of men : let them all be gathered together, let them
stand up ; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. � The smith
with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and
worketh it with the strength of his arms : yea, he is hungry, and his strength
faileth : he drinketh no water, and is faint. "
29368 � Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets : I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven : but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
29658 � Think not that I am come to send peace on earth : I came not to send peace,
but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And
a man�s foes shall be they of his own household. 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. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is
not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it : and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find it.
36975 "� This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of
the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh : and these are contrary the one to the other ; so that ye cannot do the
things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and
such like : of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance : against such there is no law. And they that are Christ�s
have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. � If we live in the Spirit,
let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one
another, envying one another. "
37113 "� This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not
as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding
darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in
them, because of the blindness of their heart : who being past feeling have given
themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But
ye have not so learned Christ ; if so be that ye have heard him, and have been
taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus : that ye put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts ; and
be renewed in the spirit of your mind ; and that ye put on the new man, which after
God is created in righteousness and true holiness. � Wherefore putting away lying,
speak every man truth with his neighbor : for we are members one of another. Be ye
angry, and sin not : let not the sun go down upon your wrath : neither give place
to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more : but rather let him labor, working
with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that
needeth. "
38855 "� This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ ; not by water
only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because
the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Ghost : and these three are one. And there are three that
bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood : and these three
agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater : for
this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on
the Son of God hath the witness in himself : he that believeth not God hath made
him a liar ; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this
is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life ; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

3113 � This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as
it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the
Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest. And Bezaleel the son of
Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.
And with him was Aholiab, 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

24872 "� This is 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 ; that every man should let his manservant, and every
man his maidservant, being a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free ; that none should
serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother. Now when all the princes, and
all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should
let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve
themselves of them any more ; then they obeyed, and let them go. 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. �
Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 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 bondmen, saying, "
34452 "� This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge ?
the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which
appeared to him in the bush. He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders
and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty
years. This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A Prophet shall
the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me ; him shall ye
hear. 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 the lively
oracles to give unto us : to whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from
them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, saying unto Aaron, Make us
gods to go before us : for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of
Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. And they made a calf in those days, and
offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven ; as it is written
in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain
beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness ? Yea, ye took
up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye
made to worship them : and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. � Our fathers had
the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto
Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. Which
also our fathers that came after brought in with Joshua into the possession of the
Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David
; "
38737 � This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you,
that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have
fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth : but if we
walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
2549 � Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood : two cubits shall be the
length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height
thereof. And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold
round about. And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and
thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. And thou shalt
make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on
the four feet thereof. Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the
staves to bear the table. And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and
overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. And thou shalt make
the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to
cover withal : of pure gold shalt thou make them. And thou shalt set upon the table
showbread before me always.

that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. Thou shalt
not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy
God : I am the Lord. � Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment ; thou shalt not
respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty : but in
righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. Thou shalt not go up and down as a
talebearer among thy people ; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy
neighbor : I am the Lord. � Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart : thou
shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not
avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself : I am the Lord. � Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt
not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind : thou shalt not sow thy field with
mingled seed : neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.
� And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to a
husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her ; she shall be scourged :
they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. And he shall bring his
trespass offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. And the priest shall make an
atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin
which he hath done ; and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him. � And

food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised : three years shall it

his master unto thee : he shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place
which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best : thou shalt
not oppress him. � There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a
sodomite of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the
price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow : for even both
these are abomination unto the Lord thy God. � Thou shalt not lend upon usury to
thy brother ; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent
upon usury : "

shall eat : the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the
place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy
wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks ; that
thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always. And if the way be too long for
thee, so that thou art not able to carry it ; or if the place be too far from thee,
which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord thy God
hath blessed thee : 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 : and
thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or
for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth :
and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and
thine household, and the Levite that is within thy gates ; thou shalt not forsake
him : for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. � At the end of three years
thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay
it up within thy gates : and the Levite, (because he hath no part 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. "

not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The Lord liveth. For
Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer : now the Lord will feed them as a lamb
in a large place. � Ephraim is joined to idols : let him alone. Their drink is sour
: they have committed whoredom continually : her rulers with shame do love, Give
ye. The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of
their sacrifices. "
2471 "� Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. Thou shalt keep
the feast of unleavened bread : (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I
commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib ; for in it thou camest out
from Egypt : and none shall appear before me empty :) and the feast of harvest, the
firstfruits of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field : and the feast of
ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors
out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the
Lord God. � Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread ;
neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning. "
13706 � Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
5145 "� Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. And Moses sent to spy out
Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were
there. And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan : and Og the king of Bashan
went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. 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. So they smote him, and his sons, and all his
people, until there was none left him alive : and they possessed his land. "
12078 "� Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. Howbeit, from the sins of Jeroboam
the son of Nebat, who 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. 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 children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel. But
Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart :
for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin. � In those
days the Lord began to cut Israel short : and Hazael smote them in all the coasts
of Israel ; from Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the
Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even
Gilead and Bashan. 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 ? And Jehu slept with his fathers : and they buried him in Samaria. And
Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead. And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel
in Samaria was twenty and eight years. "
24305 "� 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 ; "
24844 "� Thus saith the Lord ; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye
say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah,
and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without
inhabitant, and without beast, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the
voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall
say, Praise the Lord of hosts : for the Lord is good ; for his mercy endureth for
ever : and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the
Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at first, saith the
Lord. � Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; Again in this place, which is desolate
without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be a habitation
of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. In the cities of the mountains, in
the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of
Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the
flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the Lord. �
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I
have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. In those days,
and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David ;
and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall
Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely : and this is the name wherewith
she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness. � For thus saith the Lord ; David
shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel ; neither
shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to
kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. � And the word of the Lord
came unto Jeremiah, saying, "
28159 "� Thus saith the Lord ; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I
will not turn away the punishment thereof ; because they sold the righteous for
silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes ; that pant after the dust of the earth on
the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek : and a man and his father
will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name : and they lay themselves
down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the
condemned in the house of their god. � 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. Also I brought you up
from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess
the land of the Amorite. And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your
young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel ? saith the
Lord. But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink ; and commanded the prophets, saying,
Prophesy not. � Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full
of sheaves. Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall
not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself : 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. And he that is
courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord. "
26650 "� Thus saith the Lord ; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall ; and the
pride of her power shall come down : from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it
by the sword, saith the Lord God. 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. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in
Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. � In that day shall messengers
go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain
shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt : for, lo, it cometh. � Thus saith the
Lord God ; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. He and his people with him, the terrible of the
nations, shall be brought to destroy the land : and they shall draw their swords
against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain. And I will make the rivers dry,
and sell the land into the hand of the wicked : and I will make the land waste, and
all that is therein, by the hand of strangers : I the Lord have spoken it. � Thus
saith the Lord God ; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images
to cease out of Noph ; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt :
and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. And I will make Pathros desolate, and
will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. And I will pour my fury
upon Sin, the strength of Egypt ; and I will cut off the multitude of No. And I
will set fire in Egypt : Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder,
and Noph shall have distresses daily. The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall
fall by the sword : and these cities shall go into captivity. At Tehaphnehes also
the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt : and the
pomp of her strength shall cease in her : as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and
her daughters shall go into captivity. "
28598 "� Thus saith the Lord ; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus
shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I
will afflict thee no more. For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will
burst thy bonds in sunder. And the Lord hath given a commandment concerning thee,
that no more of thy name be sown : out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the
graven image and the molten image : I will make thy grave ; for thou art vile. "
26497 "� 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 ; therefore thus saith the Lord God ; I will also stretch out mine hand upon
Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it ; and I will "
26495 "� Thus saith the Lord God ; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the
house of Judah is like unto all the heathen ; therefore, behold, I will open the
side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory
of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, unto the men of the east
with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be
remembered among the nations. And I will execute judgments upon Moab ; and they
shall know that I am the Lord. "
26511 "� Thus saith the Lord God ; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge,
and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old
hatred ; therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand
upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethim, and destroy the remnant of
the seacoast. 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. "
27258 "� Thus saith the Lord God ; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall
inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel : Joseph shall have two
portions. 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. � And this shall be the border of the land toward the north
side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad ; Hamath,
Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath
: Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. And the border from the sea
shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the
border of Hamath. And this is the north side. � And the east side ye shall measure
from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by
Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side. � And the
south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river
to the great sea. And this is the south side southward. � The west side also shall
be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the
west side. � So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of
Israel. 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 born in the country among
the children of Israel ; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of
Israel. And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth,
there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God. "
22579 "� Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even
unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, What hast thou here, and whom hast
thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him
out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth a habitation for himself in a rock ?
Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely
cover thee. He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large
country : there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the
shame of thy lord�s house. And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy
state shall he pull thee down. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will
call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah : 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. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder ; so he
shall open, and none shall shut ; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I
will fasten him as a nail in a sure place ; and he shall be for a glorious throne
to his father�s house. And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father�s
house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels
of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. In that day, saith the Lord of hosts,
shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and
fall ; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off : for the Lord hath spoken
it. "
29057 "� Thus saith the Lord my God ; Feed the flock of the slaughter ; 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. 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 neighbor�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. � And
I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O 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. Three shepherds also I cut off in one month ; and my soul loathed them,
and their soul also abhorred me. 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 the
rest eat every one the flesh of another. "
23997 "� Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Put your burnt offerings
unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 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 : but this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my
voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people : and walk ye in all the
ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. But they hearkened
not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of
their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. "
23348 "� Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day
of salvation have I helped thee : and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a
covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate
heritages ; that thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth ; to them that are in
darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be
in all high places. 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. And I will make all my mountains a way, and
my highways shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far : and, lo, these
from the north and from the west ; and these from the land of Sinim. Sing, O
heavens ; and be joyful, O earth ; and break forth into singing, O mountains : for
the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. � But
Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman
forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her
womb ? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. "
24079 "� 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 : but
let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I
am the Lord which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the
earth : for in these things I delight, saith the Lord. � Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the
uncircumcised ; Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab,
and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness : for all
these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in
the heart. "
23330 "� 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. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments ! then had thy peace
been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea : thy seed also had
been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof ; his
name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me. � 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. 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. There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked. "
13913 "� 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. 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 a
house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the
locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people ; 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. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears
attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and
sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever : and mine eyes and mine
heart shall be there perpetually. And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as
David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and
shalt observe my statutes and my judgments ; then will I stablish the throne of thy
kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall
not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. � 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 ; then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my
land which I have given them ; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name,
"
3158 "� Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation
finished : and the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded
Moses, so did they. And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all
his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets ;
and the covering of rams� skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers� skins, and
the veil of the covering ; the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and
the mercy seat ; the table, and all the vessels thereof, and the showbread ; the
pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order,
and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light ; and the golden altar, and the
anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door ; "
38539 � To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but
chosen of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual
house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by
Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in
Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious : and he that believeth on him shall not
be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious : but unto them
which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the
head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them
which stumble at the word, being disobedient : whereunto also they were appointed.
6108 "� Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land
to possess it for thy righteousness ; for thou art a stiffnecked people. Remember,
and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness :
from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto
this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord. "
28853 "� Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month
Sebat in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the
son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, I saw by night, and behold a
man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the
bottom ; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. "
36485 � Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all
your things be done with charity. � I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of
Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted
themselves to the ministry of the saints,) that ye submit yourselves unto such, and
to every one that helpeth with us, and laboreth. I am glad of the coming of
Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus : for that which was lacking on your part
they have supplied. For they have refreshed my spirit and yours : therefore
acknowledge ye them that are such. � The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and
Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. All
the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss. � The salutation of
me Paul with mine own hand. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be
Anathema, Maranatha. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
37561 "� We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because
that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward
each other aboundeth ; so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God,
for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye
endure : which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be
counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer : seeing it is a
righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you ; and
to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from
heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know
not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ : who shall be
punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the
glory of his power ; "
37448 "� We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our
prayers ; remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and
patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father ;
knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. For our gospel came not unto you
in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance ; as
ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And ye became followers
of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of
the Holy Ghost : so that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and
Achaia. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and
Achaia, but also in every place your faith to Godward is spread abroad ; so that we
need not to speak any thing. For they themselves show of us what manner of entering
in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and
true God ; "
37329 "� We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying
always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which
ye have to all the saints, for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof
ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel ; which is come unto you, as
it is in all the world ; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since
the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth : as ye also learned of
Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ ;
who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. � For this cause we also, since
the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be
filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding ;
that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every
good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God ; "
38414 "� What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have
not works ? can faith save him ? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of
daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and
filled ; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the
body ; what doth it profit ? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being
alone. � Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works : show me thy faith
without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that
there is one God ; thou doest well : the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt
thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead ? Was not Abraham our
father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar ?
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect ?
And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was
imputed unto him for righteousness : and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see
then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was
not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and
had sent them out another way ? For as the body without the spirit [or, breath] is
dead, so faith without works is dead also. "
35673 "� What shall we say then ? Is the law sin ? God forbid. Nay, I had not known
sin, but by the law : for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt
not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner
of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive without the law
once : but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment,
which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. For sin, taking occasion by
the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Wherefore the law is holy, and the
commandment holy, and just, and good. � Was then that which is good made death unto
me ? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that
which is good ; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. For we
know that the law is spiritual : but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I
do, I allow not : for what I would, that do I not ; but what I hate, that do I. If
then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then
it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me
(that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing : for to will is present with me ;
but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would, I do
not : but the evil which I would not, that I do. "
35774 "� What shall we say then ? That the Gentiles, which followed not after
righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of
faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained
to the law of righteousness. Wherefore ? Because they sought it not by faith, but
as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone ; as
it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offense : and
whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. "
35543 "� What then ? are we better than they ? No, in no wise : for we have before
proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin ; as it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one : there is none that understandeth, there is
none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together
become unprofitable ; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is
an open sepulchre ; with their tongues they have used deceit ; "
35818 "� What then ? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for ; but the
election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded (according as it is written,
God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears
that they should not hear ;) unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be
made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them : let
their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. "
35640 "� What then ? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under
grace ? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey,
his servants ye are to whom ye obey ; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience
unto righteousness ? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye
have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. "
6602 "� When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither
shall he be charged with any business : but he shall be free at home one year, and
shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken. � No man shall take the nether or the
upper millstone to pledge : for he taketh a man�s life to pledge. � If a man be
found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh
merchandise of him, or selleth him ; then that thief shall die ; and thou shalt put
evil away from among you. � 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. Remember what the Lord thy God did
unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt. � When thou
dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his
pledge. Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out
the pledge abroad unto thee. And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his
pledge : in any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth
down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee : and it shall be
righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God. � Thou shalt not oppress a 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 : at his day thou shalt give him his hire,
neither shall the sun go down upon it ; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon
it : lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee. � 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. �
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless ; nor
take a widow�s raiment to pledge : 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. "
7920 "� When he was gone out, his servants came ; and when they saw that, behold,
the doors of the parlor were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his
summer chamber. And they tarried till they were ashamed : and, behold, he opened
not the doors of the parlor ; therefore they took a key, and opened them : and,
behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. � And Ehud escaped while they
tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath. And it came to
pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the
children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them. 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
toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over. And they slew of Moab at that
time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor ; and there escaped
not a man. So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had
rest fourscore years. "
26154 "� When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her
daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again
the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them : that thou mayest bear thine
own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a
comfort unto them. When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their
former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate,
then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate. For thy sister
Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, before thy wickedness
was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all
that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee
round about. Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the Lord. �
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. Nevertheless, I will remember my
covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an
everlasting covenant. Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou
shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger : and I will give them unto
thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. And I will establish my covenant with
thee ; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord : that thou mayest remember, and be
confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am
pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God. "
37935 � When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto
me to Nicopolis : for I have determined there to winter. Bring Zenas the lawyer and
Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. And let
ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not
unfruitful.
24038 "� When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell
in a far country : Is not the Lord in Zion ? is not her king in her ? Why have they
provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities ? The
harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. For the hurt of the
daughter of my people am I hurt ; I am black ; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
� Is there no balm in Gilead ? is there no physician there ? why then is not the
health of the daughter of my people recovered ? "
29967 "� When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am ? And they said, Some
say that thou art John the Baptist ; some, Elijah ; and others, Jeremiah, or one of
the prophets. "
33797 � When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the
disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning
on Jesus� bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore
beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then
lying on Jesus� breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it ? Jesus answered, He it is,
to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop,
he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered
into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
29878 "� When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place
apart : and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the
cities. And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with
compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. And when it was evening, his
disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past ;
send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves
victuals. But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart ; give ye them to eat. And
they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. He said, Bring
them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and
took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and
brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were filled : and they took up of the fragments that
remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men,
beside women and children. "
32961 "� When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.
And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod�s jurisdiction, he sent him to
Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. And when Herod saw Jesus, he
was exceeding glad : for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he
had heard many things of him ; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
Then he questioned with him in many words ; but he answered him nothing. And the
chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. "
9447 "� When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him,
(now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and
all his servants were standing about him ;) then 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, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of
hundreds ; that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that
showeth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none
of you that is sorry for me, or showeth unto me that my son hath stirred up my
servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day ? Then answered Doeg the
Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse
coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. And he inquired of the Lord for him,
and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine. � 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. And
Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord. "
30605 � When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph,
who also himself was Jesus� disciple : he went to Pilate, and begged the body of
Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken
the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb,
which he had hewn out in the rock : and he rolled a great stone to the door of the
sepulchre, and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting
over against the sepulchre.
6574 "� When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every
wicked thing. � If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of
uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he
shall not come within the camp : but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall
wash himself with water : and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp
again. � Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth
abroad : and thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon ; and it shall be, when thou
wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover
that which cometh from thee : 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. "
6245 "� When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither
thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land ;
take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be
destroyed from before thee ; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying,
How did these nations serve their gods ? even so will I do likewise. 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 they have
burnt in the fire to their gods. � What thing soever I command you, observe to do
it : thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. "
24588 "� When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the
king�s house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate
of the Lord�s house. Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and
to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die ; for he hath prophesied
against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. � 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. 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. As for me,
behold, I am in your hand : do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. But know
ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely 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. � Then
said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets ; This man
is not worthy to die : for he hath spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of
the people, saying, Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of
Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts ;
Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the
mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. Did Hezekiah king of Judah
and all Judah put him at all to death ? did he not fear the Lord, and besought the
Lord, and the Lord repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them ?
Thus might we procure great evil against our souls. � And there was also a man that
prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim,
who "
30419 � When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with
him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory : and before him shall be
gathered all nations : and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats :
32267 "� When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest ; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house
whence I came out. "
29760 "� When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house
from whence I came out ; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and
garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked
than himself, and they enter in and dwell there : and the last state of that man is
worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. "
34467 � When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed
on him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up
steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right
hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man
standing on the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and
stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, and cast him out of the city,
and stoned him : and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man�s feet,
whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit. 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.
34166 "� When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord,
wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel ? And he said unto them,
It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in
his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you : and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these
things, while they beheld, he was taken up ; and a cloud received him out of their
sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two
men stood by them in white apparel ; "
6414 � 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. There shall not be
found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the
fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a
witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a
necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord : and
because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before
thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. For these nations, which thou
shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners : but as for
thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
6386 "� 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 about me ; "
6617 � When thou cuttest down 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. 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. When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it
afterward : it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt : therefore I
command thee to do this thing.
6502 "� When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God
hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, and seest
among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou
wouldest have her to thy wife ; then thou shalt bring her home to thine house ; and
she shall shave her head, and pare her nails ; 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. 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 make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled
her. � If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have borne
him children, both the beloved and the hated ; and if the firstborn son be hers
that was hated : "
38029 � Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the
wilderness :
38522 "� Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end
for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ ; as
obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your
ignorance : but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of
conversation ; because it is written, Be ye holy ; for I am holy. And if ye call
on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man�s
work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear : forasmuch as ye know that ye
were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by tradition from your fathers ; but with the precious blood
of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot : who verily was
foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last
times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and
gave him glory ; that your faith and hope might be in God. � Seeing ye have
purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of
the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently : "
35494 "� Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their
own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves : who changed the truth
of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,
who is blessed for ever. Amen. � For this cause God gave them up unto vile
affections : for even their women did change the natural use into that which is
against nature : and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another ; men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was
meet. � And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient ; being
filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness ; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity ; whisperers,
backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural
affection, implacable, unmerciful : who, knowing the judgment of God, that they
which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have
pleasure in them that do them. "
22724 "� Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this
people which is in Jerusalem. 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 : therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay
in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure
foundation : he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to
the line, and righteousness to the plummet : and the hail shall sweep away the
refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 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. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you : for morning by morning
shall it pass over, by day and by night : and it shall be a vexation only to
understand the report. 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. 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. Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong : for I have
heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole
earth. "
37027 "� Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love
unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my
prayers ; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto
you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him : the eyes of your
understanding being enlightened ; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling,
and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the
exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working
of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead,
and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not
only in this world, but also in that which is to come : and hath put all things
under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is
his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. "
37387 "� Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why,
as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (touch not ; taste not
; handle not ; which all are to perish with the using ;) after the commandments and
doctrines of men ? which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and
humility, and neglecting of the body ; not in any honor to the satisfying of the
flesh. "
6049 � Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep
and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy
which he sware unto thy fathers : and he will love thee, and bless thee, and
multiply thee : he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy
land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the
flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
38309 "� Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees ; and
make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way
; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord : looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace
of God ; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be
defiled ; lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one
morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would
have inherited the blessing, he was rejected : for he found no place of repentance,
though he sought it carefully with tears. � For ye are not come unto the mount
that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness,
and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words ; which voice they
that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more : (for
they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the
mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart : "
35931 "� Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us, to the glory
of God. Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the
truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers : and that the Gentiles
might glorify God for his mercy ; as it is written, For this cause I will confess
to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. And again he saith, Rejoice,
ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles ; and
laud him, all ye people. And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse,
and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles ; in him shall the Gentiles
trust. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye
may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. � And I myself also am
persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all
knowledge, able also to admonish one another. Nevertheless, brethren, I have
written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of
the grace that is given to me of God, that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ
to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the
Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. "
37046 "� Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who
are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh
made by hands ; that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no
hope, and without God in the world : "
36910 "� Wherefore then serveth the law ? It was added because of transgressions,
till the seed should come to whom the promise was made ; and it was ordained by
angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God
is one. � Is the law then against the promises of God ? God forbid : for if there
had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have
been by the law. But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise
by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. � But before faith
came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be
revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we
might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as
many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither
Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female :
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ�s, then are ye Abraham�s
seed, and heirs according to the promise. "
36305 � Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man
examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he
that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not
discerning the Lord�s body.
35608 "� Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin ;
and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned : (for until the law sin
was in the world : but sin is not imputed when there is no law. "
38380 � Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath : for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with
meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. � But be ye doers of
the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer
of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a
glass : for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth
what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this
man shall be blessed in his deed.
37248 "� Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence
only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and
trembling : for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good
pleasure. � Do all things without murmurings and disputings : that ye may be
blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked
and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world ; holding forth the
word of life ; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in
vain, neither labored in vain. Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and
service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. For the same cause also do
ye joy, and rejoice with me. "
37954 � Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which
is convenient, yet for love�s sake I rather beseech thee, being such a one as Paul
the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. I beseech thee for my son
Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds : which in time past was to thee
unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me :
35334 "� Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the
chief priests, at midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the
brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And
when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying
in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me ? it is hard for thee to
kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, Lord ? And he said, I am Jesus
whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet : for I have appeared unto
thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things
which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee ;
delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of
Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among
them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. "
35347 � Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision :
but showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the
coasts of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God,
and do works meet for repentance. For these causes the Jews caught me in the
temple, and went about to kill me. Having therefore obtained help of God, I
continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other
things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come : that Christ
should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and
should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
28538 "� 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 ? 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 ? He hath showed 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 ? � The Lord�s voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy
name : hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. Are there yet the treasures of
wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable ?
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful
weights ? For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants
thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. Therefore
also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy
sins. Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied ; and thy casting down shall be in the
midst of thee ; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver ; and that which
thou deliverest will I give up to the sword. Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not
reap ; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil ; and
sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine. 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 "
29577 � While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler,
and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead : but come and lay thy
hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did
his disciples.
29762 � While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren
stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered
and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother ? and who are my brethren ? And
he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my
brethren ! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the
same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
34645 � While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which
heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as
many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift
of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which
have received the Holy Ghost as well as we ? And he commanded them to be baptized
in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
30289 � While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What
think ye of Christ ? whose son is he ? They say unto him, The son of David. He
saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said
unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool ?
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son ? And no man was able to answer him
a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
23062 "� 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 ? Who hath directed the
Spirit of the Lord, or being his counselor hath taught him ? With whom took he
counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught
him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding ? 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. And Lebanon is not sufficient to
burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before
him are as nothing ; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. �
To whom then will ye liken God ? or what likeness will ye compare unto him ? The
workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and
casteth silver chains. He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth
a tree that will not rot ; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a
graven image, that shall not be moved. "
38445 � Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you ? let him show out of
a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter
envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This
wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where
envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that
is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full
of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit
of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
23387 "� Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his
servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light ? let him trust in the name of
the Lord, and stay upon his God. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass
yourselves about with sparks : walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks
that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand ; ye shall lie down in
sorrow. "
24065 "� Who is the wise man, that may understand this ? and who is he to whom the
mouth of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth
and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through ? And the Lord saith,
Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my
voice, neither walked therein ; but have walked after the imagination of their own
heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them : 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. I will scatter them also among the
heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known : and I will send a sword
after them, till I have consumed them. � Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye,
and call for the mourning women, that they may come ; and send for cunning women,
that they may come : 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. 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 our dwellings have cast us out. � 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 neighbor lamentation.
For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off
the children from without, and the young men from the streets. Speak, Thus saith
the Lord, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as
the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them. "
30384 "� Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler
over his household, to give them meat in due season ? Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall
make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, My lord delayeth his coming ; and shall begin to smite his fellow servants,
and to eat and drink with the drunken ; the lord of that servant shall come in a
day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall
cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites : there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth. "
32569 � Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth
adultery : and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth
adultery.
37405 "� Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your
parents in all things : for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke
not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. Servants, obey in all things
your masters according to the flesh ; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers ; but in
singleness of heart, fearing God : and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men ; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of
the inheritance : for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall
receive for the wrong which he hath done : and there is no respect of persons. "
37145 "� Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the
husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church : and he
is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let
the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even
as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it ; that he might sanctify
and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to
himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing ; but
that it should be holy and without blemish. "
28697 "� Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to
him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness ! Thou
art filled with shame for glory : drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be
uncovered : the cup of the Lord�s right hand shall be turned unto thee, and
shameful spewing shall be on thy glory. For the violence of Lebanon shall cover
thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men�s blood, and
for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. � What
profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it ; the molten
image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make
dumb idols ? Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake ; to the dumb stone, Arise,
it shall teach ! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no
breath at all in the midst of it. � But the Lord is in his holy temple : let all
the earth keep silence before him. "
32201 "� Woe unto thee, Chorazin ! woe unto thee, Bethsaida ! for if the mighty
works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a
great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. � He that heareth you
heareth me ; and he that despiseth you despiseth me ; and he that despiseth me
despiseth him that sent me. "
22153 "� Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till
there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth ! In
mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even
great and fair, without inhabitant. Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one
bath, and the seed of a homer shall yield an ephah. � Woe unto them that rise up
early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink ; that continue until
night, till wine inflame them ! And the harp and the viol, the tabret and pipe, and
wine, are in their feasts : but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither
consider the operation of his hands. � Therefore my people are gone into captivity,
because they have no knowledge : and their honorable men are famished, and their
multitude dried up with thirst. Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened
her mouth without measure : and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp,
and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. And the mean man shall be brought
down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be
humbled : but the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy
shall be sanctified in righteousness. Then shall the lambs feed after their manner,
and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. � Woe unto them that draw
iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope : "
29356 "� Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick ;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
"
29354 � Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt have lost his savor,
wherewith shall it be salted ? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast
out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
29401 "� Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth : but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil : but whosoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee
at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever
shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee,
and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. � Ye have heard that it
hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto
you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you ; that ye may be
the children of your Father which is in heaven : for he maketh his sun to rise on
the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye
love them which love you, what reward have ye ? do not even the publicans the
same ? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others ? do not
even the publicans so ? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect. "
29383 � Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit
adultery : but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend
thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that one
of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee : for it is
profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole
body should be cast into hell.
29370 "� Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill ;
and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment : but I say unto you,
That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the
judgment : and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the
council : but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy
brother hath aught against thee ; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy
way ; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree
with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him ; lest at any time
the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer,
and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come
out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. "
29181 "� Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we
wearied him ? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the
Lord, and he delighteth in them ; or, Where is the God of judgment ? "
34227 "� Ye men of Israel, hear these words ; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of
God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst
of you, as ye yourselves also know : him, being delivered by the determinate
counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified
and slain : whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death : because it
was not possible that he should be holden of it. For David speaketh concerning him,
I foresaw the Lord always before my face ; for he is on my right hand, that I
should not be moved : therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad ;
moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope : because thou wilt not leave my soul in
hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made
known to me the ways of life ; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
� Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is
both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a
prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of
his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne ;
he, seeing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not
left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and
having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth
this, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens : but
he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I
make thy foes thy footstool. "
36993 "� Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. As
many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be
circumcised ; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. For
neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law ; but desire to have you
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. But God forbid that I should glory,
save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me,
and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing,
nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule,
peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. � From henceforth let no
man trouble me : for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. "
32400 "� Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right ? When thou
goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give
diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him ; lest he hale thee to the judge,
and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. I
tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. "
29196 "� Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What
have we spoken so much against thee ? Ye have said, It is vain to serve God : and
what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked
mournfully before the Lord of hosts ? And now we call the proud happy ; yea, they
that work wickedness are set up ; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. �
Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another : and the Lord hearkened,
and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared
the Lord, and that thought upon his name. "
14813 "� Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned
eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord
his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the
mouth of the Lord. 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 God of Israel. Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people,
transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen ; and polluted the
house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. � And the Lord God of their
fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending ; because he
had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place : but they mocked the
messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the
wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy. "
12630 � 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. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord,
according to all that Jehoiakim had done. For through the anger of the Lord it came
to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

20827 A false balance is abomination to the Lord : but a just weight is his
delight. When pride cometh, then cometh shame : but with the lowly is wisdom. The
integrity of the upright shall guide them : but the perverseness of transgressors
shall destroy them. Riches profit not in the day of wrath : but righteousness
delivereth from death. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way : but
the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright shall
deliver them : but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. When a
wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish : and the hope of unjust men
perisheth. The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his
stead. A hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor : but through knowledge
shall the just be delivered. When it goeth well with the righteous, the city
rejoiceth : and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. By the blessing of the
upright the city is exalted : but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. He
that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbor : but a man of understanding holdeth
his peace. A talebearer revealeth secrets : but he that is of a faithful spirit
concealeth the matter. Where no counsel is, the people fall : but in the multitude
of counselors there is safety. He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for
it : and he that hateth suretyship is sure.

27572 "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. I beheld then, 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 given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of
the beasts, they had their dominion taken away : yet their lives were prolonged for
a season and time. � I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of
man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they
brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a
kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him : his dominion
is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed. � I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my
body, and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near unto one of them that
stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the
interpretation of the things. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings,
which shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall take the
kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. � Then I would
know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others,
exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass ; which
devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet ; and of the ten
horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three
fell ; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things,
whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war
with the saints, and prevailed against them ; "

21724 "A good name is better than precious ointment ; and the day of death than the
day of one�s birth. 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. Sorrow is better than laughter : for by the sadness of the countenance
the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning ; but
the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. It is better to hear the rebuke of the
wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. For as the crackling of thorns
under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool : this also is vanity. Surely
oppression maketh a wise man mad ; and a gift destroyeth the heart. Better is the
end of a thing than the beginning thereof : and the patient in spirit is better
than the proud in spirit. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry : for anger
resteth in the bosom of fools. Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days
were better than these ? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this. Wisdom
is good with an inheritance : and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense : but the excellency of knowledge
is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Consider the work of God : for
who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked ? � In the day of prosperity
be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider : God also hath set the one over
against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. "
21213 "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor
rather than silver and gold. The rich and poor meet together : the Lord is the
maker of them all. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself : but the
simple pass on, and are punished. By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches,
and honor, and life. Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward : he that doth
keep his soul shall be far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go :
and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The rich ruleth over the poor, and
the borrower is servant to the lender. He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity :
and the rod of his anger shall fail. He that hath a bountiful eye shall be
blessed ; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. Cast out the scorner, and
contention shall go out ; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. He that loveth
pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. The eyes
of the Lord preserve knowledge ; and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. "

20845 "A gracious woman retaineth honor : and strong men retain riches. The
merciful man doeth good to his own soul : but he that is cruel troubleth his own
flesh. The wicked worketh a deceitful work : but to him that soweth righteousness
shall be a sure reward. As righteousness tendeth to life ; so he that pursueth evil
pursueth it to his own death. They that are of a froward heart are abomination to
the Lord : but such as are upright in their way are his delight. Though hand join
in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished : but the seed of the righteous shall
be delivered. As a jewel of gold in a swine�s snout, so is a fair woman which is
without discretion. The desire of the righteous is only good : but the expectation
of the wicked is wrath. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth ; and there is
that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul
shall be made fat : and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. He that
withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him : but blessing shall be upon the head
of him that selleth it. He that diligently seeketh good procureth favor : but he
that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. He that trusteth in his riches shall
fall : but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. He that troubleth his own
house shall inherit the wind : and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life ; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth : much more the wicked and
the sinner. "

pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and
sacrifices : wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to
offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are
priests that offer gifts according to the law : who serve unto the example and
shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make
the tabernacle : for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the
pattern showed to thee in the mount. But now hath he obtained a more excellent
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless,
then should no place have been sought for the second. � For finding fault with
them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah : not according to
the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the
hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt ; because they continued not in my
covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I
will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord ; I will put my
laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts : and I will be to them a God,
and they shall be to me a people : and they shall not teach every man his neighbor,
and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord : for all shall know me, from the
least to the greatest. "

possession. The Emim dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and
tall, as the Anakim ; which also were accounted giants, as the Anakim ; but the
Moabites call them Emim. The Horim also dwelt in Seir beforetime ; but the children
of Esau succeeded them, when they had 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. Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over
the brook Zered. And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were
come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years ; until all the generation of
the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the Lord sware unto them.
For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the
host, until they were consumed. � So it came to pass, when all the men of war were
consumed and dead from among the people, that the Lord spake unto me, saying, Thou
art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day : and when thou comest
nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them :
for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession ;
because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. (That also was
accounted a land of giants : giants dwelt therein in old time ; and the Ammonites
call them Zamzummim ; 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
: as he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the
Horim from before them ; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even
unto this day : "

20964 A soft answer turneth away wrath : but grievous words stir up anger. The
tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright : but the mouth of fools poureth out
foolishness. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the
good. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life : but perverseness therein is a breach
in the spirit. A fool despiseth his father�s instruction : but he that regardeth
reproof is prudent. In the house of the righteous is much treasure : but in the
revenues of the wicked is trouble. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge : but
the heart of the foolish doeth not so. The sacrifice of the wicked is an
abomination to the Lord : but the prayer of the upright is his delight. The way of
the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord : but he loveth him that followeth after
righteousness. Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way : and he that
hateth reproof shall die. Hell and destruction are before the Lord : how much more
then the hearts of the children of men ? A scorner loveth not one that reproveth
him :

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. A
drought is upon her waters ; and they shall be dried up : for it is the land of
graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. Therefore the wild beasts of the
desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall
dwell therein : and it shall be no more inhabited for ever ; neither shall it be
dwelt in from generation to generation. As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the
neighbor cities thereof, saith the Lord ; so shall no man abide there, neither
shall any son of man dwell therein. � Behold, a people shall come from the north,
and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
They shall hold the bow and the lance : they are cruel, and will not show mercy :
their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put
in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. The king
of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble : anguish took
hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. Behold, he shall come up like a
lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong : but I will
make them suddenly run away from her : and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint
over her ? for who is like me ? and who will appoint me the time ? and who is that
shepherd that will stand before me ? Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord,
that he hath taken against Babylon ; and his purposes, that he hath purposed
against the land of the Chaldeans : Surely the least of the flock shall draw them
out : surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. At the noise of the
taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations. "

speak ; a time to love, and a time to hate ; a time of war, and a time of peace.
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth ? � I have seen the
travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath
made every thing beautiful in his time : also he hath set the world in their heart,
so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in
his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all
his labor, it is the gift of God. 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 doeth
it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now ; and that which
is to be hath already been ; and God requireth that which is past. "

together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was a hair of

that can deliver after this sort. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and

and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el. And
he said, Let him alone ; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone,
with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria. 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. And he slew all the priests of the high
places that were there upon the altars, and burned men�s bones upon them, and
returned to Jerusalem. "

should it not be with the heads of these men ? Is not this David, of whom they sang
one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten
thousands ? � Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the Lord
liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the
host is good in my sight : for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy
coming unto me unto this day : nevertheless the lords favor thee not. Wherefore now
return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines. And
David said unto Achish, But what have I done ? and what hast thou found in thy
servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight
against the enemies of my lord the king ? 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.
Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master�s servants that are come
with thee : and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the
land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

8387 "afflict him : and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of
silver. And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great
strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. And Samson
said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then
shall I be weak, and be as another man. Then the lords of the Philistines brought
up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said
unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a
thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known. �
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. And he said unto her, If
they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak,
and be as another man. Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith,
and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in
wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread. �
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. 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
went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web. � 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. And it
came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his
soul was vexed unto death ; "
15224 After him repaired Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of
Zalaph, another piece. After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah over
against his chamber. After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith�s son unto the place
of the Nethinim, and of the merchants, over against the gate Miphkad, and to the
going up of the corner. And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate
repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants.
15210 After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired
Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part. After him repaired
their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah. And
next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece
over against the going up to the armory at the turning of the wall. After him
Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece, from the turning of
the wall unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest. After him repaired
Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another piece, from the door of the house
of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib. And after him repaired the
priests, the men of the plain. After him repaired Benjamin and Hashub over against
their house. After him repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah by
his house. After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another piece, from the
house of Azariah unto the turning of the wall, even unto the corner. Palal the son
of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall, and the tower which lieth out from
the king�s high house, that was by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the
son of Parosh. Moreover the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against
the water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out. After them the
Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even
unto the wall of Ophel. � From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one
over against his house. After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his
house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the
east gate.
15637 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.
34129 "After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of
Tiberias ; and on this wise showed he himself. 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. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They
say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship
immediately ; and that night they caught nothing. � But when the morning was now
come, Jesus stood on the shore ; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then
Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat ? They answered him, No. And he
said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They
cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when
Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher�s coat unto him, (for he
was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a
little ship, (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)
dragging the net with fishes. � As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a
fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto them, Bring
of the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter 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, yet was not the net broken. Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of
the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou ? knowing that it was the Lord. "
33402 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee : for he would not walk in Jewry,
because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews� feast of tabernacles was at
hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that
thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no man that
doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do
these things, show thyself to the world.
33318 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of
Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which
he did on them that were diseased.
34971 "After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth ; and
found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his
wife Priscilla, (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome,)
and came unto them. And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and
wrought : (for by their occupation they were tentmakers.) And he reasoned in the
synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. � And when Silas
and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified
to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. And when they opposed themselves, and
blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own
heads ; I am clean : from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. And he departed
thence, and entered into a certain man�s house, named Justus, one that worshipped
God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. And Crispus, the chief ruler of the
synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house ; and many of the Corinthians
hearing believed, and were baptized. Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a
vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace : for I am with thee, and
no man shall set on thee to hurt thee : for I have much people in this city. And he
continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. "
32185 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two
and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few :
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into
his harvest. Go your ways : behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry
neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes : and salute no man by the way. And into
whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of
peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it : if not, it shall turn to you again.
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give : for
the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
280 "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. And Abram said,
Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my
house is this Eliezer of Damascus ? And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given
no seed : and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And, behold, the word of the
Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir ; but he that shall come
forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad,
and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number
them : and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord ;
and he counted it to him for righteousness. � 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.
And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it ? "
14629 "After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of
Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and
thought to win them for himself. And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come,
and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, he took counsel with his
princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without
the city : and they did help him. So there was gathered much people together, who
stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land,
saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water ? Also he
strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up
to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David,
and made darts and shields in abundance. And he set captains of war over the
people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city,
and spake comfortably to them, saying, Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor
dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him : for
there be more with us than with him. 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. � After this did Sennacherib
king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against
Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all
Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem ? "
15610 "After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he
remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. Then
said the king�s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins
sought for the king : and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his
kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the
palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king�s chamberlain,
keeper of the women ; and let their things for purification be given them : and let
the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing
pleased the king ; and he did so. � Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain
Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish,
a Benjamite ; who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had
been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of
Babylon had carried away. And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle�s
daughter : for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and "
39062 "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven : and the
first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me ; which said,
Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. "
15853 "After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. And Job spake, and
said, Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said,
There is a man child conceived. Let that day be darkness ; let not God regard it
from above, neither let the light shine upon it. Let darkness and the shadow of
death stain it ; let a cloud dwell upon it ; let the blackness of the day terrify
it. As for that night, let darkness seize upon it ; let it not be joined unto the
days of the year ; let it not come into the number of the months. Lo, let that
night be solitary ; let no joyful voice come therein. Let them curse it that curse
the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. Let the stars of the twilight
thereof be dark ; let it look for light, but have none ; neither let it see the
dawning of the day : because it shut not up the doors of my mother�s womb, nor hid
sorrow from mine eyes. Why died I not from the womb ? Why did I not give up the
ghost when I came out of the belly ? "
33268 "After this there was a feast of the Jews ; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. �
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew
tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent
folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel
went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water : whosoever
then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever
disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and
eight years. "
31372 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread : and
the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put
him to death. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the
people.
27235 "Afterward he brought me again 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 stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under,
from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. Then brought he
me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the
outer gate by the way that looketh eastward ; and, behold, there ran out waters on
the right side. "
27103 "Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the
east : and, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east :
and his voice was like a noise of many waters : and the earth shined with his
glory. 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. And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose
prospect is toward the east. So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the
inner court ; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house. "
27047 "Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits
broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the
breadth of the tabernacle. And the breadth of the door was ten cubits ; and the
sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other
side : and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty
cubits. Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits ; and
the door, six cubits ; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. So 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. � After 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. And the side chambers were three, one over
another, and thirty in order ; and they entered into the wall which was of the
house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had
not hold in the wall of the house. And there was an enlarging, and a winding about
still upward to the side chambers : for the winding about of the house went still
upward round about the house : therefore the breadth of the house was still upward,
and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. I saw also
the height of the house round about : the foundations of the side chambers were a
full reed of six great cubits. The thickness of the wall, which was for the side
chamber without, was five cubits : and that which was left was the place of the
side chambers that were within. And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty
cubits round about the house on every side. "
30137 "Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And
about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto
them, Why stand ye here all the day idle ? They say unto him, Because no man hath
hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard ; and whatsoever is
right, that shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith
unto his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the
last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they
should have received more ; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when
they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, saying, These
last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have
borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said,
Friend, I do thee no wrong : didst not thou agree with me for a penny ? Take that
thine is, and go thy way : I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not
lawful for me to do what I will with mine own ? Is thine eye evil, because I am
good ? So the last shall be first, and the first last : for many be called, but few
chosen. "
30067 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any
thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in
heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the
midst of them.
26449 "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, Son of man, write thee the name of the
day, even of this same day : the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this
same day. And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord God ; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it : gather
the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder ;
fill it with the choice bones. Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the
bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
� Wherefore thus saith the Lord God ; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum
is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it ! bring it out piece by piece ;
let no lot fall upon it. For her blood is in the midst of her ; she set it upon the
top of a rock ; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust ; "
26088 "Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, cause Jerusalem
to know her abominations, and say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem ; Thy
birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan ; thy father was an Amorite, and
thy mother a Hittite. And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel
was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee ; thou wast not
salted at all, nor swaddled at all. 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, to
the loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born. "
26735 "Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 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 of their coasts, and set him for their watchman :
if when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the
people ; 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. He
heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning ; his blood shall be upon him.
But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the
sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned ; if the sword
come, and "
28986 "Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord
of hosts ; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her
with great fury. Thus saith the Lord ; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in
the midst of Jerusalem : and Jerusalem shall be called A city of truth ; and the
mountain of the Lord of hosts, The holy mountain. Thus saith the Lord of hosts ;
There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every
man with his staff in his hand for very age. And the streets of the city shall be
full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Thus saith the Lord of hosts
; If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days,
should it also be marvelous in mine eyes ? saith the Lord of hosts. Thus saith the
Lord of hosts ; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the
west country ; 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. � Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; Let your hands be strong, ye that
hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which "
15837 "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. 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.
And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is
none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and
escheweth evil ? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me
against him, to destroy him without cause. And Satan answered the Lord, and said,
Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth
thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy
face. And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand ; but save his
life. � So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore
boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. And he took him a potsherd to
scrape himself withal ; and he sat down among the ashes. Then said his wife unto
him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity ? curse God, and die. � 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. � 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 : for they had made an
appointment together to come to mourn with him, and to comfort him. "
9929 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
21673 "Again, if two lie together, then they have heat : but how can one be warm
alone ? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him ; and a threefold
cord is not quickly broken. � Better is a poor and a wise child, than an old and
foolish king, who will no more be admonished. For out of prison he cometh to
reign ; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. I considered all
the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in
his stead. There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before
them : they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is
vanity and vexation of spirit. "
25240 "Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Woe unto Nebo
! for it is spoiled : Kiriathaim is confounded and taken : Misgab is confounded and
dismayed. There shall be no more praise of Moab : in Heshbon they have devised evil
against it ; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be
cut down, O Madmen ; the sword shall pursue thee. A voice of crying shall be from
Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. Moab is destroyed ; her little ones have
caused a cry to be heard. For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go
up ; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. For because thou
hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken : and
Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together. "

11275 Ahijah�s Prophecy against Jeroboam
25080 "Ahikam to Mizpah ; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah. 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. Ishmael also slew all the Jews
that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were
found there, and the men of war. � And it came to pass the second day after he had
slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, 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 offerings and incense in their hand,
to bring them to the house of the Lord. 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. 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.
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not : for we have
treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he
forbare, and slew them not among their brethren. � Now the pit wherein Ishmael had
cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it
which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel : and Ishmael the son
of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain. Then Ishmael carried away captive
all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king�s daughters, and

Lord ! to what end is it for you ? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
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. Shall not the day of the Lord

noise of thy songs ; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. But let judgment
run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. � Have ye offered unto me

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
They also do no iniquity : they walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep
thy precepts diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes ! Then
shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will
praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous
judgments. I will keep thy statutes : O forsake me not utterly. beth Wherewithal

unto the Lord. And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine linen, and goats� hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers� skins, brought
them. Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the Lord�s
offering : and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the
service, brought it. And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their
hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of
scarlet, and of fine linen. And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom
spun goats� hair. And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the
ephod, and for the breastplate ; and spice, and oil for the light, and for the
anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. The children of Israel brought a willing
offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring

hear them. I am the door : by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to
kill, and to destroy : I am come that they might have life, and that they might
have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd : the good shepherd giveth his life
for the sheep. But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep
are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth ; and the wolf
catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is a
hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep,
and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father : and I
lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this
fold : them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice ; and there shall be
one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my
life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of
myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
commandment have I received of my Father. � There was a division therefore again

thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to
know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
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 word that proceedeth out of the mouth
of the Lord doth man live. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy
foot swell, these forty years. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a
man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. Therefore thou shalt
keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of
fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills ; a land of wheat, and
barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates ; a land of oil olive, and honey
; 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. "
12107 "all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets : and Athaliah
rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, treason. But Jehoiada the priest commanded
the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have
her forth without the ranges ; and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For
the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord. And they laid
hands on her ; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king�s
house : and there was she slain. � 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. And all the people of the land went into 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. And he took the rulers over
hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land ; and
they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the
gate of the guard to the king�s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. And
all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet : and they slew
Athaliah with the sword beside the king�s house. � Seven years old was Jehoash when
he began to reign. "

that find knowledge. Receive my instruction, and not silver ; and knowledge rather
than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies ; and all the things that may be
desired are not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out
knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil : pride, and
arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and
sound wisdom : I am understanding ; I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes
decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I
love them that love me ; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and
honor are with me ; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than
gold, yea, than fine gold ; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of
righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment : that I may cause those that
love me to inherit substance ; and I will fill their treasures. The Lord possessed
me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from
everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths,
I was brought forth ; "

Be strong and of good courage, and do it : fear not, nor be dismayed, for the Lord
God, even my God, will be with thee ; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee,
until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there : but prophesy not again any more
at Beth-el : for it is the king�s chapel, and it is the king�s court. � Then
answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet�s son
; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit : and the Lord took me as I
followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
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. Therefore thus saith the
Lord ; Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall
fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line ; and thou shalt die in a
polluted land : and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land. "

crown of gold for the border thereof round about. And he cast for it four rings of
gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the
table. And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear
the table. And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his
spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold. � And he made
the candlestick of pure gold : of beaten work made he the candlestick ; his shaft,
and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same : and 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 : three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a
flower ; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower :
so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick. And in the candlestick
were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers : and a knop under
two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop
under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.
Their knops and their branches were of the same : all of it was one beaten work of
pure gold. And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of
pure gold. Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof. � And
he made the incense altar of shittim wood : the length of it was a cubit, and the
breadth of it a cubit ; it was foursquare ; and two cubits was the height of it ;
the horns thereof were of the same. "

But they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O
congregation, what is among them. 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, nor to my law, but rejected it. To what purpose cometh there to me
incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country ? your burnt offerings
are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. Therefore thus saith the
Lord, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and
the sons together shall fall upon them ; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.
� Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great
nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. They shall lay hold on bow and
spear ; they are cruel, and have no mercy ; their voice roareth like the sea ; and
they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of
Zion. We have heard the fame thereof : our hands wax feeble : anguish hath taken
hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. Go not forth into the field, nor
walk by the way ; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side. 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. � I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my
people, that thou mayest know and try their way. They are all grievous revolters,
walking with slanders : they are brass and iron ; they are all corrupters. The
bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire ; the founder melteth in
vain : for the wicked are not plucked away. Reprobate silver shall men call them,
because the Lord hath rejected them. "
6117 "Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with
you to have destroyed you. 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 neither did eat bread nor drink
water : and the Lord delivered unto me 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.
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. 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. �
Furthermore the Lord spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold,
it is a stiffnecked people : 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. 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. And I looked,
and, behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made you a molten
calf : ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.
And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before
your eyes. 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 sins which ye
sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. "

God, when he led thee by the way ? And now what hast thou to do in the way of
Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor ? or what hast thou to do in the way of
Assyria, to drink the waters of the river ? Thine own wickedness shall correct
thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee : know therefore and see that it is
an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my
fear is not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts. � For of old time I have broken
thy yoke, and burst thy bands ; and thou saidst, I will not transgress ; when upon
every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. 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 ? For though thou wash thee
with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith
the Lord God. How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim ?
See thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done : thou art a swift dromedary
traversing her ways ; a wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind
at her pleasure ; in her occasion who can turn her away ? all they that seek her
will not weary themselves ; in her month they shall find her. 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. � 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, saying 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. "
26833 "Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye
mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord : Thus saith the Lord God ; Because
the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in
possession : therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God ; Because they
have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a
possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of
talkers, and are an infamy of the people : 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 "
2141 "although that was near ; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent
when they see war, and they return to Egypt : but God led the people about, through
the way of the wilderness of the Red sea : and the children of Israel went up
harnessed out of the land of Egypt. 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. And they took their journey
from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. And the Lord
went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way ; and by night
in a pillar of fire, to give them light ; to go by day and night. He took not away
the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the
people. "

spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the
seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into
my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to
whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief : again, he limiteth
a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time ; as it is said, Today
if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus [Joshua] had given
them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth
therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he
also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. � Let us labor therefore
to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For
the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is
there any creature that is not manifest in his sight : but all things are naked and
opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. "

them that do examine me is this : Have we not power to eat and to drink ? Have we
not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the
brethren of the Lord, and Cephas ? Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to

made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which
belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb ; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company ? And he said,
Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands
of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company. � And when he had brought
him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking,
and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of
the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. 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. And David
recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away : and David rescued his two
wives. And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons
nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them : David
recovered all. And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before
those other cattle, and said, This is David�s spoil. � And David came to the two
hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had
made also to abide at the brook Besor : and they went forth to meet David, and to
meet the people that were with him : and when David came near to the people, he
saluted them. 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. "

children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the Lord
commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the
children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. � Moreover
Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and
captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all
Judah and Benjamin : and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and
found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could
handle spear and shield. He hired also a hundred thousand mighty men of valor out
of Israel for a hundred talents of silver. 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. But if thou wilt go, do it, be
strong for the battle : God shall make thee fall before the enemy : for God hath
power to help, and to cast down. 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. Then

he that is in the field shall die with the sword ; and he that is in the city,
famine and pestilence shall devour him. But they that escape of them shall escape,
and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning,
every one for his iniquity. All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak
as water. 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. "

15902 "an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice,
saying, Shall mortal man be more just than God ? Shall a man be more pure than his
Maker ? Behold, he put no trust in his servants ; and his angels he charged with
folly : how much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in
the dust, which are crushed before the moth ? They are destroyed from morning to
evening : they perish for ever without any regarding it. Doth not their excellency
which is in them go away ? They die, even without wisdom. "
16786 "an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness ;
then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit : I
have found a ransom. His flesh shall be fresher than a child�s : he shall return to
the days of his youth : he shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him :
and he shall see his face with joy : for he will render unto man his righteousness.
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was
right, and it profited me not ; he will deliver his soul from going into the pit,
and his life shall see the light. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with
man, to bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the
living. Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me : hold thy peace, and I will speak. If
thou hast any thing to say, answer me : speak, for I desire to justify thee. If
not, hearken unto me : hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom. "

10365 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom
hanged in an oak. And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou
sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground ? and I would have
given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle. And the man said unto Joab, Though
I should receive a thousand shekels 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.
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life : for there is no
matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
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. And ten young men that bare Joab�s armor compassed about and
smote Absalom, and slew him. � And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned
from pursuing after Israel : for Joab held back the people. And they took Absalom,
and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones
upon him : and all Israel fled every one to his tent. Now Absalom in his lifetime
had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king�s dale : for he
said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance : and he called the pillar after
his own name : and it is called unto this day, Absalom�s place. � 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. And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings
this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day : but this day thou shalt bear no
tidings, because the king�s son is dead. Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king
what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
21323 "and a good blessing shall come upon them. Every man shall kiss his lips that
giveth a right answer. Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the
field ; and afterward build thine house. Be not a witness against thy neighbor
without cause ; and deceive not with thy lips. Say not, I will do so to him as he
hath done to me : I will render to the man according to his work. I went by the
field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding ; and,
lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof,
and the stone wall thereof was broken down. Then I saw, and considered it well : I
looked upon it, and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a
little folding of the hands to sleep : so shall thy poverty come as one that
traveleth ; and thy want as an armed man. "
22842 "And a man shall be as a 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. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them
that hear shall hearken. The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and
the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. The vile person shall
be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. For the vile person
will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and
to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry ; and he will
cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. The instruments also of the churl are
evil : he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when
the needy speaketh right. But the liberal deviseth liberal things ; and by liberal
things shall he stand. "
16583 "and a place for gold where they fine it. Iron is taken out of the earth, and
brass is molten out of the stone. He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out
all perfection : the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. The flood
breaketh out from the inhabitant ; even the waters forgotten of the foot : they are
dried up, they are gone away from men. As for the earth, out of it cometh bread :
and under it is turned up as it were fire. The stones of it are the place of
sapphires : and it hath dust of gold. There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and
which the vulture�s eye hath not seen : the lion�s whelps have not trodden it, nor
the fierce lion passed by it. He putteth forth his hand upon the rock ; he
overturneth the mountains by the roots. He cutteth out rivers among the rocks ; and
his eye seeth every precious thing. He bindeth the floods from overflowing ; and
the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. But where shall wisdom be found ?
And where is the place of understanding ? Man knoweth not the price thereof ;
neither is it found in the land of the living. The depth saith, It is not in me :
and the sea saith, It is not with me. It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall
silver be weighed for the price thereof. It cannot be valued with the gold of
Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. The gold and the crystal cannot
equal it : and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. "
508 "And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou
hast set by themselves ? And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of
my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba [the well of the oath] ; because there
they sware both of them. Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba : then Abimelech
rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land
of the Philistines. And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on
the name of the Lord, the everlasting God. And Abraham sojourned in the
Philistines� land many days. "
708 "And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us ; for thou art much mightier than
we. � And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and
dwelt there. 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. And Isaac�s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well
of springing water. And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac�s herdmen,
saying, The water is ours : and he called the name of the well Esek [contention] ;
because they strove with him. And they digged another well, and strove for that
also : and he called the name of it Sitnah [hatred]. And he removed from thence,
and digged another well ; and for that they strove not : and he called the name of
it Rehoboth [room] ; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we
shall be fruitful in the land. � And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. 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. 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. �
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol
the chief captain of his army. And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me,
seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you ? And they said, We saw certainly
that the Lord was with thee : and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us,
even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee ; "
8122 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother�s
brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his
mother�s father, saying, Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem,
Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are
9854 "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 that seemed good
to the whole house of Benjamin. � 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. 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 league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all
that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away ; and he went in peace. "
390 "And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with
the wicked ? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city : wilt thou also
destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein ? That be
far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked ; and
that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee : Shall not the
Judge of all the earth do right ? And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty
righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And
Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord,
which am but dust and ashes : Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty
righteous : wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five ? And he said, If I
find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 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 forty�s sake. And he said unto him, 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. 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 twenty�s sake. 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 ten�s sake. And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had
left communing with Abraham : and Abraham returned unto his place. "
445 "And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelt
between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. And Abraham said of Sarah his
wife, She is my sister : and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. But God
came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead
man, for the woman which thou hast taken ; for she is a man�s wife. But Abimelech
had not come near her : and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation ?
Said he not unto me, She is my sister ? and she, even she herself said, He is my
brother : in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity
of thy heart ; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me : therefore
suffered I thee not to touch her. Now therefore restore the man his 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. �
Therefore 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. "
524 "And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his
son ; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife ; and they went both of them
together. 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 ? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself
a lamb for a burnt offering : so they went both of them together. � And they came
to the place which God had told him of ; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid
the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the
wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And
the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham :
and he said, Here am I. 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. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and
looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns : and Abraham
went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his
son. 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 seen. � And the angel of the Lord
called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, and said, By myself have I
sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld
thy son, thine only son, 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 seashore ; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies ; and in thy seed
shall all the nations of the earth be blessed ; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-
sheba ; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. "
356 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the
flesh of his foreskin. And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was
circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. In the selfsame day was Abraham
circumcised, and Ishmael his son. And all the men of his house, born in the house,
and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
570 "And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age : and the Lord had blessed
Abraham in all things. And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that
ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh : 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 unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I
dwell : but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto
my son Isaac. 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 ? And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou
bring not my son thither again. The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my
father�s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which 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 unto my son from thence. And if the
woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my
oath : only bring not my son thither again. And the servant put his hand under the
thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter. � And the
servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed ; for all the
goods of his master were in his hand : and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto
the city of Nahor. And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well
of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
"
277 "And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up mine hand unto the
Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, that I will not take
from a thread even to a shoe-latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is
thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich : 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. "
216 "And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and
Lot with him, into the south. � And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and
in gold. 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 Bethel and Hai ; "
10257 "And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David�s counselor, from his
city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong ;
for the people increased continually with Absalom. � And there came a messenger to
David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. And David said
unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee ; for
we shall not else escape from Absalom : make speed to depart, lest he overtake us
suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
And the king�s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do
whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint. And the king went forth, and all his
household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep
the house. And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a
place that was far off. 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. � Then said the king to Ittai
the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us ? return to thy place, and abide
with the king : for thou art a stranger, and also an exile. 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. And
Ittai answered the king, and said, As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king
liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life,
even there also will thy servant be. 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. 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. "
23 "And Adam knew Eve his wife ; and she conceived, and bare Cain [gotten, or
acquired], and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord. And she again bare his
brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the
ground an offering unto the Lord. 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 : but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very
wroth, and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth ?
and why is thy countenance fallen ? "
8332 "And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the
carcass of the lion : and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the
carcass of the lion. And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came
to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat : but he told not them
that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion. � So his father went
down unto the woman : and Samson made there a feast ; for so used the young men to
do. And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to
be with him. And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you : if
ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out,
then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments : but if ye cannot
declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments.
And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it. 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 expound the riddle. � And it came to pass on the
seventh day, that they said unto Samsons 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 take that we have ? is it not so ? 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 ? 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 lay sore upon him :
and she told the riddle to the children of her people. "
8190 "And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the
son of Dodo, a man of Issachar ; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim. And he
judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir. � And
after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years. And he
had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which
are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead. And Jair
died, and was buried in Camon. "
15096 "And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great
trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities
deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this ; should we again break thy
commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations ? wouldest
not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no
remnant nor escaping ? O Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous ; for we remain yet
escaped, as it is this day : behold, we are before thee in our trespasses ; for we
cannot stand before thee because of this. "
35242 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and
with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul. And
when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, � Seeing that by
thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation
by thy providence,
30000 "And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and
bringeth them up into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them : and
his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold,
there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. Then answered Peter,
and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here : if thou wilt, let us make
here three tabernacles ; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While
he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them : and behold a voice out of
the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased ; hear ye
him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore
afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And
when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. � And as they
came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man,
until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. And his disciples asked him,
saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come ? And Jesus answered
and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I
say unto you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done
unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
"
34752 "And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and
fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. And afterward they desired a king : and God
gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space
of forty years. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be
their king ; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son
of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. Of this
man�s seed hath God, according to his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour,
Jesus : when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to
all the people of Israel. And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye
that I am ? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his
feet I am not worthy to loose. � Men and brethren, children of the stock of
Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation
sent. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him
not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have
fulfilled them in condemning him. And though they found no cause of death in him,
yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. And when they had fulfilled all
that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a
sepulchre. But God raised him from the dead : and he was seen many days of them
which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the
people. And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made
unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he
hath raised up Jesus again ; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my
Son, this day have I begotten thee. "
35049 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and
embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. And when he had gone over
those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, and there
abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail
into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
39414 "And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven,
saying, Alleluia ; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our
God : for true and righteous are his judgments ; for he hath judged the great
whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood
of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up
for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down
and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen ; Alleluia. And a voice
came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that
fear him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
saying, Alleluia : for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and
rejoice, and give honor to him : for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife
hath made herself ready. "
39385 "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having
great power ; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily
with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become
the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of
her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her
iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double
according to her works : in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double. How
much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow
give her : for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall
see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning,
and famine ; and she shall be utterly burned with fire : for strong is the Lord God
who judgeth her. � And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and
lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall
see the smoke of her burning, "
39130 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the
earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the
earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the
east, having the seal of the living God : and he cried with a loud voice to the
four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not
the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our
God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed : and
there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the
children of Israel. Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
10002 "And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and
subdued them : and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines. �
And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground ;
even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep
alive. And so the Moabites became David�s servants, and brought gifts. � David
smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his
border at the river Euphrates. And David took from him a thousand chariots, and
seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen : and David houghed all the
chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots. "
1803 And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord
God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the
wilderness. And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let
Israel go ? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go. And they said, The
God of the Hebrews hath met with us : let us go, we pray thee, three days� journey
into the desert, and sacrifice unto

he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that
there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door : and he
preached the word unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the
palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the
press, they uncovered the roof where he was : and when they had broken it up, they
let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he
said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were
certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this
man thus speak blasphemies ? who can forgive sins but God only ? And immediately,
when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said
unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts ? whether is it easier to say
to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee ; or to say, Arise, and take up
thy bed, and walk ? 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,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take
up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, 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. "
10610 And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved
David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. For the king said to Joab
the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of
Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the
number of the people. And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord thy God add unto
the people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord
the king may see it : but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing ?
11596 "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. � But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto
him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread ? 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. 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. � 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, dwelling with
Naboth. And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on
high among the people : and set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear
witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry
him out, and stone him, that he may die. And the men of his city, even the elders
and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto
them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. They
proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. And there came in two
men, children of Belial, and sat before him : and the men of Belial witnessed
against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did
blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned
him with stones, that he died. Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned,
and is dead. � And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and
was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of "
12040 "And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to
Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up
Ahab�s children, saying, 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 armor ; look even 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. But they
were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him : how
then shall we stand ? And he that was over the house, and he that was over the
city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying,
We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us ; we will not make any
king : do thou that which is good in thine eyes. Then he wrote a letter the second
time to them, saying, If ye be mine, 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. "
11503 "And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain
all the prophets with the sword. 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. 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. � 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. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel
touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there
was a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and
drink, and laid him down again. "
10313 "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. 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. And the counsel of Ahithophel,
which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God
: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom. "
1348 "And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn ; because that
the famine was so sore in all lands. "

Mighty One of Jacob.
24616 "And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son�s son, until the
very time of his land come : and then many nations and great kings shall serve
themselves of him. � And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which
will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the 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. Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to
your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers,
which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon : 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. But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke
of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own
land, saith the Lord ; and they shall till it, and dwell therein. � I spake also to
Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under
the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. Why will
ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as
the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon ?
Therefore 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. For I
have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in my name ; that I
might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy
unto you. � 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. "
4822 "And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried ; and the people
wept that night. 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 ! And wherefore
hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and
our children should be a prey ? were it not better for us to return into Egypt ? �
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the
congregation of the children of Israel. And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the
son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes :
and they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land,
which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. If the Lord
delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us ; a land which
floweth with milk and honey. Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye
the people of the land ; for they are bread for us : their defense is departed from
them, and the Lord is with us : fear them not. But all the congregation bade stone
them with stones. � And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the
congregation before all the children of Israel. And the Lord said unto Moses, How
long will this people provoke me ? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for
all the signs which I have showed among them ? I will smite them with the
pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and
mightier than they. "
2253 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord,
and pitched in Rephidim : and there was no water for the people to drink.

15648 "And all the king�s servants, that were in the king�s gate, bowed, and
reverenced Haman : for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed
not, nor did him reverence. Then the king�s servants, which were in the king�s
gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king�s commandment ? 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. And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him
reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. And he thought scorn to lay hands on
Mordecai alone ; for they had showed 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. � In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the
twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from
day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and
dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom ; and their laws are
diverse from all people ; neither keep they the king�s laws : therefore it is not
for the king�s profit to suffer them. If it please the king, let it be written that
they may be destroyed : and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands
of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king�s
treasuries. And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the
son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews� enemy. 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. � Then were the king�s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first
month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the
king�s lieutenants, and to the governors that "
35017 "And all the men were about twelve. � And he went into the synagogue, and
spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things
concerning the kingdom of God. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but
spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated
the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this continued by
the space of two years ; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the
Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. � And God wrought special miracles by the hands
of Paul : so that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons,
and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. Then
certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had
evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul
preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests,
which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I
know ; but who are ye ? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and
overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house
naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at
Ephesus ; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds. Many of them
also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before
all men : and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of
silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. "
15365 "And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street
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. And Ezra the
priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that
could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. And he read
therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until
midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand ; and the
ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. And Ezra the scribe
stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose ; and beside him
stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on
his right hand ; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and
Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 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 : and Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the
people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands : and they "

arose, and came to Egypt : for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
14197 "And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and
prosper : for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. � 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 assent ; let thy word therefore, I pray
thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. And Micaiah said, As the Lord
liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. 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. And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that
thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the Lord ? Then he said, I did
see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd : and
the Lord said, These have no master ; let them return therefore every man to his
house in peace. And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee
that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil ? Again he said, Therefore hear
the word of the Lord ; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of
heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 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. Then there
came out a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the
Lord said unto him, Wherewith ? And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit
in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and
thou shalt also prevail : go out, and do even so. Now therefore, behold, the Lord
hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord hath
spoken evil against thee. "
31677 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by
the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And
the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they
had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
9287 "And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and
spear : for the battle is the Lord�s, and he will give you into our hands. � And it
came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that
David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his
hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in
his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead ; and he fell upon his face to
the earth. � 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. Therefore David ran, and stood upon 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 their champion was dead, they fled. And the men of
Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou
come to the valley, 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. And the children
of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their
tents. And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem ; but
he put his armor in his tent. � 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. And the king
said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is. 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. And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou
young man ? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.

thy foot have rest : but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and
failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind : and thy life shall hang in doubt before
thee ; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life
: 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 wherewith thou shalt
fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. And the Lord shall
bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou
shalt see it no more again : and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for
bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. "
7847 "And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and 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. And ye shall make no
league with the inhabitants of this land ; ye shall throw down their altars : but
ye have not obeyed my voice ; why have ye done this ? "

bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me ; and let the dead bury their
dead. "
14012 "and answered them after the advice 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. So the king hearkened not unto the people : for
the cause was of God, that the Lord might perform his word, which he spake by the
hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. � And when all Israel
saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king,
saying, What portion have we in David ? and we have none inheritance in the son of
Jesse : every man to your tents, O Israel : and now, David, see to thine own house.
So all Israel went to their tents. But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in
the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram
that was over the tribute ; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that
he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to
Jerusalem. And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. "

are as a sleep : in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. In the
morning it flourisheth, and groweth up ; in the evening it is cut down, and
withereth. For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy
countenance. For all our days are passed away in thy wrath : we spend our years as
a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten ; and if by
reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and
sorrow ; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Who knoweth the power of thine
anger ? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our
days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Return, O Lord, how long ? And let
it repent thee concerning thy servants. O satisfy us early with thy mercy ; that we
may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days wherein
thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. Let thy work
appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. 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. "
34767 "And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return
to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to
see corruption. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of
God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption : but he,
whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Be it known unto you therefore, men and
brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins : and
by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be
justified by the law of Moses. Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is
spoken of in the prophets ; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish : for I
work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man
declare it unto you. � And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the
Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. Now
when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes
followed Paul and Barnabas ; who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in
the grace of God. � And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to
hear the word of God. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with
envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and
blaspheming. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the
word of God should first have been spoken to you : but seeing ye put it from you,
and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For
so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, "
2809 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves
according to the composition thereof : it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord.
Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from

31324 "And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him,
Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here ! And Jesus answering
said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings ? there shall not be left one stone
upon another, that shall not be thrown down. � And as he sat upon the mount of
Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him
privately, Tell us, when shall these things be ? and what shall be the sign when
all these things shall be fulfilled ? And Jesus answering them began to say, Take
heed lest any man deceive you : for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ
; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye
not troubled : for such things must needs be ; but the end shall not be yet. "
33543 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his
disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he
was born blind ? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents :
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of
him that sent me, while it is day : the night cometh, when no man can work. As long
as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he
spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the
blind man with the clay,
8910 "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 before Israel.
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote
them, until they came under Beth-car. � Then Samuel took a stone, and set it
between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer [the stone of help],
saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. So the Philistines were subdued, and they
came no more into the coast of Israel : and the hand of the Lord was against the
Philistines all the days of Samuel. And the cities which the Philistines had taken
from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath ; and the coasts
thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace
between Israel and the Amorites. � And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his
life. And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh,
and judged Israel in all those places. And his return was to Ramah, for there was
his house ; and there he judged Israel ; and there he built an altar unto the Lord.
"
9984 "and as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel,
and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee
that he will make thee a house. And 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. He shall build a house for my
name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 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 : but my mercy shall not depart
away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine house
and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee : thy throne shall be
established for ever. According to all these words, and according to all this
vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. � Then went king David 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 hitherto ? And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God ; but
thou hast spoken also of thy servant�s house for a great while to come. And is this
the manner of man, O Lord God ? And what can David say more unto thee ? for thou,
Lord God, knowest thy servant. For thy word�s sake, and according to thine own
heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God : for there is none like thee, neither is
there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And
what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to
redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great
things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee
from Egypt, from the nations and their gods ? "
34291 "And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the
temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, being grieved that they taught the
people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid
hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day : for it was now eventide.
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed ; and the number of the men was
about five thousand. � And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and
elders, and scribes, and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and
Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered
together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what
power, or by what name, have ye done this ? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost,
said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, if we this day be
examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made
whole ; be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even
by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set
at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is
there salvation in any other : for there is none other name under heaven given
among men, whereby we must be saved. "
21359 "and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart. If
thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat ; and if he be thirsty, give him water
to drink : for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall
reward thee. The north wind driveth away rain : so doth an angry countenance a
backbiting tongue. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a
brawling woman and in a wide house. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good
news from a far country. A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a
troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. It is not good to eat much honey : so for
men to search their own glory is not glory. He that hath no rule over his own
spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. "
11332 "And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his
father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols
that his fathers had made. And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from
being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove ; and Asa destroyed her idol,
and burnt it by the brook Kidron. But the high places were not removed :
nevertheless Asa�s heart was perfect with the Lord all his days. And he brought in
the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had
dedicated, into the house of the Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels. "

Neballat, Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen. And of the Levites were divisions
in Judah, and in Benjamin.
15469 "And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children
of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah ; Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of
Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the
children of Perez ; and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son
of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of
Shiloni. All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred threescore
and eight valiant men. � And these are the sons of Benjamin ; Sallu the son of
Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of
Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jesaiah. And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine
hundred twenty and eight. And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer : and Judah
the son of Senuah was second over the city. � Of the priests : Jedaiah the son of
Joiarib, Jachin. Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of
Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the ruler of the house of God.
And their brethren that did the work of the house were eight hundred twenty and two
: and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of
Zechariah, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchiah, and his brethren, chief of the
fathers, two hundred forty and two : and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of
Ahasai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, and their brethren, mighty men
of valor, a hundred twenty and eight : and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of
one of the great men. � Also of the Levites : Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son
of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni ; and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of
the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of
God. And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the
principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer : and "
27750 "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. 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. 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. 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. � Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on
this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the
river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the
river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders ? And I heard the man
clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right
hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever, that it
shall be for a time, times, and a half ; and when he shall have accomplished to "
31506 "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi,
lama sabachthani ? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me ? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he
calleth Elijah. And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone ; let us see whether Elijah will
come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when
the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up
the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. � There were also women
looking on afar off : among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
the less and of Joses, and Salome ; who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him,
and ministered unto him ; and many other women which came up with him unto
Jerusalem. "
27034 "And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate,
were two tables ; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were
two tables. Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the
side of the gate ; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices. And the four
tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and a half long, and a
cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high : whereupon also they laid the
instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. And within
were hooks, a hand broad, fastened round about : and upon the tables was the flesh
of the offering. � And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in
the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate ; and their prospect was
toward the south : one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the
north. 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. And the chamber whose
prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the
altar : these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the
Lord to minister unto him. So he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a
hundred cubits broad, foursquare ; and the altar that was before the house. � And
he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five
cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side : and the breadth of the gate was
three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side. The length of the porch
was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits ; and he brought me 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. "
29242 "and Azor begat Zadok ; and Zadok begat Achim ; and Achim begat Eliud ; and
Eliud begat Eleazar ; and Eleazar begat Matthan ; and Matthan begat Jacob ; and
Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called
Christ. � So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations ;
and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations ; and
from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. "
22377 "And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees� excellency,
shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited,
neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation : neither shall the
Arabian pitch tent there ; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. But
wild beasts of the desert shall lie there ; and their houses shall be full of
doleful creatures ; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. And
the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in
their pleasant palaces : and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be
prolonged. "
5204 "And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here
seven oxen and seven rams. And Balak did as Balaam had spoken ; and Balak and
Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 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 showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a high
place. And God met Balaam : and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and
I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. And the Lord put a word in
Balaam�s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. And he
returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the
princes of Moab. And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath
brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me
Jacob, and come, defy Israel. How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed ? Or how
shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied ? For from the top of the rocks I see
him, and from the hills I behold him : lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall
not be reckoned among the nations. Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number
of the fourth part of Israel ? Let me die the death of the righteous, "
10435 "And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go
up with the king unto Jerusalem ? I am this day fourscore years old : and can I
discern between good and evil ? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink ?
can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women ? wherefore then
should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king ? Thy servant will go a
little way over Jordan with the king : and why should the king recompense it me
with such a reward ? Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die
in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But
behold thy servant Chimham ; let him go over with my lord the king ; and do to him
what shall seem good unto thee. 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. And all the people went over Jordan.
And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him ; and
he returned unto his own place. Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went
on with him : and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the
people of Israel. � 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 have
brought the king, and his household, and all David�s men with him, over Jordan ?
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 ? 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. "
37280 "and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law,
but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by
faith : that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship
of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death ; if by any means I might
attain unto the resurrection of the dead. � Not as though I had already attained,
either were already perfect : but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for
which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended : but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as
be perfect, be thus minded : and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall
reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us
walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. � Brethren, be followers
together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For
many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they
are the enemies of the cross of Christ : whose end is destruction, whose God is
their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) For our
conversation is in heaven ; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ : who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto
his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all
things unto himself. "
34830 "And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia
and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles : and they caused great joy
unto all the brethren. And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of
the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God
had done with them. But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which
believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to
keep the law of Moses. � And the apostles and elders came together for to consider
of this matter. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said
unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice
among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and
believe. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the
Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us ; and put no difference between us and them,
purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon
the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear ? But
we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even
as they. � Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and
Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by
them. And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and
brethren, hearken unto me : Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the
Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of
the prophets ; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the
tabernacle of David, which is fallen down ; and I will build again the ruins
thereof, and I will set it up : "
10031 "and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the
Pelethites ; and David�s sons were chief rulers. "
11532 "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 warred against it. And he sent messengers to Ahab king of
Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad, Thy silver and thy
gold is mine ; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. And
the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I
am thine, and all that I have. And the messengers came again, and said, Thus
speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt
deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children ; "
30889 "and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of
death : I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed ; and
she shall live. And Jesus went with him. � And much people followed him, and
thronged him. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and
had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and
was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, when she had heard of Jesus, came in
the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his
clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up ;
and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately
knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press,
and said, Who touched my clothes ? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the
multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me ? And he looked round
about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling,
knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the
truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole ; go in
peace, and be whole of thy plague. � While he yet spake, there came from the ruler
of the synagogue�s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead ; why troublest
thou the Master any further ? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he
saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. And he suffered
no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. And he
cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them
that wept and wailed greatly. And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make
ye this ado, and weep ? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. "
3055 "And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood : two cubits and a half was the
length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the
height of it : and he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a
crown of gold to it round about. And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set
by the four corners of it ; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings
upon the other side of it. And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them
with gold. And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear
the ark. And he made the mercy seat of pure gold : two cubits and a half was the
length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof. And he made two
cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the
mercy seat ; one cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other
end on that side : out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends
thereof. And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, and covered with their
wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another ; even to the mercy
seatward were the faces of the cherubim. � And he made the table of shittim wood :
two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and
a half the height thereof : and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a
crown of gold round about. "

thine own right hand can save thee. Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee ;
he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in
the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar : the sinews of his stones
are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass ; his bones are like
bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God : he that made him can make his
sword to approach unto him. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all
the beasts of the field play. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the
reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow ; the willows of the
brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not : he
trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes :
his nose pierceth through snares. "

dwell among them. According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the
tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make

the next. And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and
Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under
the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the
king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God. And Kore the son of Imnah the
Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to
distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the most holy things. And next 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 : besides their genealogy of males, from three years
old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the Lord, his
daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses ; both
to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from
twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses ; and to the
genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their
daughters, through all the congregation : for in their set office they sanctified
themselves in holiness : also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the
fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were
expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all
that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites. � And thus did Hezekiah
throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before
the Lord his God. 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. "

they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. � And when this people,
or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord
? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden ? I will even forsake you, saith the
Lord. 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. Thus shall ye say
every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord
answered ? and, What hath the Lord spoken ? And the burden of the Lord shall ye
mention no more ; for every man�s word shall be his burden : for ye have perverted
the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God. Thus shalt thou say to
the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee ? and, What hath the Lord spoken ?
But since ye say, The burden of the Lord ; therefore thus saith the Lord ; Because
ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye
shall not say, The burden of the Lord ; therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly
forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers,
and cast you out of my presence : and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon
you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten. "

shortened : thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. How long, Lord ? Wilt thou
hide thyself for ever ? Shall thy wrath burn like fire ? Remember how short my time
is : wherefore hast thou made all men in vain ? What man is he that liveth, and
shall not see death ? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave ? Selah.
Lord, where are thy former loving-kindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy
truth ? Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants ; how I do bear in my bosom
the reproach of all the mighty people ; wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O
Lord ; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Blessed be

described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore
and seventeen men. And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and
Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna
now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary ? And he
took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness, and briers, and with
them he taught the men of Succoth. And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew
the men of the city. � 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. And he said, They were my brethren, even
the sons of my mother : as the Lord liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not
slay you. 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. Then Zebah and
Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us : for as the man is, so is his strength.
And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that
were on their camels� necks. � 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 delivered
us from the hand of Midian. And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you,
neither shall my son rule over you : the Lord shall rule over you. And Gideon said
unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the
earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were
Ishmaelites.) And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a
garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey. And the weight of
the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of
gold ; besides ornaments, "
28206 "and caused it not to rain upon another city : one piece was rained upon, and
the piece whereupon it rained not withered. So two or three cities wandered unto
one city, to drink water ; but they were not satisfied : yet have ye not returned
unto me, saith the Lord. I have smitten you with blasting and mildew : when your
gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the
palmerworm devoured them : yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. I have
sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt : your young men have I
slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses ; and I have made the stink
of your camps to come up unto your nostrils : yet have ye not returned unto me,
saith the Lord. I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning : yet have ye not returned
unto me, saith the Lord. � Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel : and
because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. 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. "
18776 "and caused waters to run down like rivers. And they sinned yet more against
him by provoking the Most High in the wilderness. And they tempted God in their
heart by asking meat for their lust. Yea, they spake against God ; they said, Can
God furnish a table in the wilderness ? Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters
gushed out, and the streams overflowed ; can he give bread also ? Can he provide
flesh for his people ? Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth : so a fire was
kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel ; because they
believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation : though he had commanded the
clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, and had rained down manna upon
them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. Man did eat angels� food :
he sent them meat to the full. He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven : and
by his power he brought in the south wind. He rained flesh also upon them as dust,
and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea : and he let it fall in the midst
of their camp, round about their habitations. So they did eat, and were well filled
: for he gave them their own desire ; they were not estranged from their lust : but
while their meat was yet in their mouths, the wrath of God came upon them, and slew
the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. "
34818 And certain men which came down from Judea taught the brethren, and said,
Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. When
therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they
determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to
Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
8119 and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides
the chains that were about their camels� necks. And Gideon made an ephod thereof,
and put it in his city, even in Ophrah : and all Israel went thither a whoring
after it : which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house. Thus was
Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no
more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon. � And
Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house. And Gideon had
threescore and ten sons of his body begotten : for he had many wives. And his
concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called
Abimelech. 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. � And it came to
pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and
went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god. And the children of
Israel remembered not the Lord their God, who had delivered them out of the hands
of all their enemies on every side : neither showed they kindness to the house of
Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto
Israel.
15239 "and conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem,
and to hinder it. Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch
against them day and night, because of them. � 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. And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till
we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease. And it
came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten
times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I
even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their
bows. 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. � 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. And it came to pass from that time
forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them
held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons ; and the
rulers were behind all the house of Judah. They which builded on the wall, and they
that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought
in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. For the builders, every one had
his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was
by me. 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. "
16895 "and covereth the bottom of the sea. For by them judgeth he the people ; he
giveth meat in abundance. With clouds he covereth the light ; and commandeth it not
to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. The noise thereof showeth concerning it,
the cattle also concerning the vapor. "
13203 "And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with
singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals,
and with trumpets. � And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put
forth his hand to hold the ark ; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the Lord
was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark :
and there he died before God. And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a
breach upon Uzza : wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza [the breach of Uzza]
to this day. And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the
ark of God home to me ? So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of
David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. And the ark of
God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the Lord
blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had. "
9941 "And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale
of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name
of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubim. And they set the ark of
God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah
: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. And they brought it
out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God : and
Ahio went before the ark. And David and all the house of Israel played before the
Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on
psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals. � And when they came
to Nachon�s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took
hold of it ; for the oxen shook it. 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.
And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah : and he
called the name of the place Perez-uzzah [the breach of Uzzah] to this day. And
David was afraid of the Lord that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come
to me ? 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 Obededom the Gittite. And the
ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months : and
the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his household. "
13657 "And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes,
and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the
captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over
all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers,
and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem. Then David
the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people : As
for me, I had in mine heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of
the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building :
but God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou hast
been a man of war, and hast shed blood. Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose me
before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever : for he hath
chosen Judah to be the ruler ; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father ;
and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel : 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. 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. Moreover I will establish his kingdom for
ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.
Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the Lord, and in the
audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God :
that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your
children after you for ever. "
10645 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.
13190 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with
every leader. And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good
unto you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren
every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the
priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather
themselves unto us : and let us bring again the ark of our God to us : for we
inquired not at it in the days of Saul. And all the congregation said that they
would do so : for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
9363 "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 ? And he said unto him, God forbid ; thou shalt not die : behold,
my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me : and
why should my father hide this thing from me ? it is not so. And David sware
moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth 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 "
13238 "And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the
ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. 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. And David gathered all Israel together to
Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto his place, which he had prepared
for it. And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites : of the sons of
Kohath ; Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty : of the sons of
Merari ; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty : of the sons of
Gershom ; Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty : of the sons of
Elizaphan ; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred : of the sons of
Hebron ; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore : of the sons of Uzziel ;
Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve. And David called for
Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel,
Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, and said unto them, Ye are the chief of the
fathers of the Levites : sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye
may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared
for it. For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon
us, for that we sought him not after the due order. So the priests and the Levites
sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. "
10354 "And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of
thousands and captains of hundreds over them. And David sent forth a third part of
the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the
son of Zeruiah, Joab�s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the
Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself
also. But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth : for if we flee away, they
will not care for us ; neither if half of us die, will they care for us : but now
thou art worth ten thousand of us : therefore now it is better that thou succor us
out of the city. 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 came out by hundreds and by
thousands. 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. � So the people went out
into the field against Israel : and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim ; where
the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a
great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. For the battle was there scattered
over the face of all the country : and the wood devoured more people that day than
the sword devoured. � And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon
a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head
caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth ; and
the mule that was under him went away. "
9615 "And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of
Saul : there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the
land of the Philistines ; and Saul shall despair of me, "
10034 "And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I
may show him kindness for Jonathan�s sake ? And there was of the house of Saul a
servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said
unto him, Art thou Ziba ? And he said, Thy servant is he. And the king said, Is
there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto
him ? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his
feet. 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. Then king
David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo-
debar. Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto
David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he
answered, Behold thy servant ! And David said unto him, Fear not : for I will
surely show 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. And
he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such
a dead dog as I am ? � Then the king called to Ziba, Saul�s servant, and said unto
him, I have given unto thy master�s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his
house. Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him,
and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master�s son may "
10421 "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 ? Therefore
the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him. � And
Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed
his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king
departed until the day he came again in peace. 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 ? 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 to the king ; because thy servant is lame. 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. For all of my father�s house were but dead
men before my lord the king : yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did
eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the
king ? And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters ? I
have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land. And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea,
let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own
house. � And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan
with the king, to conduct him over Jordan. Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even
fourscore years old : and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at
Mahanaim ; for he was a very great man. And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou
over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem. "
10516 "And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song, in the day that the
Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of
Saul : and he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer ; the
God of my rock ; in him will I trust : he is my shield, and the horn of my
salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour ; thou savest me from violence.
I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised : so shall I be saved from
mine enemies. When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made
me afraid ; the sorrows of hell compassed me about ; the snares of death prevented
me. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God : and he did hear my
voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. Then the earth shook
and trembled ; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured :
coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down ; and darkness
was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly : and he was seen upon
the wings of the wind. And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters,
and thick clouds of the skies. "
10117 "And David�s anger was greatly kindled against the man ; and he said to
Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die :
and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he
had no pity. � And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God
of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand
of Saul ; and I gave thee thy master�s house, and thy master�s wives into thy
bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah ; and if that had been too
little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. Wherefore hast
thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight ? thou hast
killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife,
and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 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. 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 neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the
sight of this sun. For thou didst it secretly : but I will do this thing before all
Israel, and before the sun. 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. 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. And Nathan departed unto his house. � And the Lord struck the child
that Uriah�s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. "
15995 "and death rather than my life. I loathe it ; I would not live alway : let me
alone ; for my days are vanity. What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him ? and
that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him ? and that thou shouldest visit him
every morning, and try him every moment ? How long wilt thou not depart from me,
nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle ? I have sinned ; what shall I do
unto thee, O thou preserver of men ? Why hast thou set me as a mark against thee,
so that I am a burden to myself ? And why dost thou not pardon my transgression,
and take away mine iniquity ? For now shall I sleep in the dust ; and thou shalt
seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. "
29179 And did not he make one ? Yet had he the residue of the Spirit. And wherefore
one ? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let
none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord, the God of
Israel, saith that he hateth putting away : for one covereth violence with his
garment, saith the Lord of hosts : therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal
not treacherously.
1024 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see
the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of
the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. And his soul
clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly
unto the damsel. And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this
damsel to wife.
11472 "And Elijah came 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. Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only,
remain a prophet of the Lord ; but Baal�s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Let them therefore give us two bullocks ; and let them choose one bullock for
themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under : and I
will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under : and call
ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord : and the God
that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is
well spoken. 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
gods, but put no fire under. 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 upon the altar which was made. And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah
mocked them, and said, Cry aloud : for he is a god ; either he is talking, or he is
pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and
lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. And it came to pass, when midday was
past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice,
that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. � 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 broken down. 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 : "
11412 "And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto
Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew
nor rain these years, but according to my word. And the word of the Lord came unto
him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook
Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook
; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 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. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread
and flesh in the evening ; and he drank of the brook. And it came to pass after a
while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. "
11983 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said
unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to
Ramoth-gilead :

now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great
wind that blew. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs,
they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship : and they were
afraid. But he saith unto them, It is I ; be not afraid. Then they willingly

went. "

shall be unclean ; and ye shall break it. Of all meat which may be eaten, that on
which such water cometh shall be unclean : and all drink that may be drunk in every
such vessel shall be unclean. And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass
falleth shall be unclean ; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be
broken down : for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. Nevertheless a
fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean : but that which
toucheth their carcass shall be unclean. And if any part of their carcass fall upon
any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. But if any water be put
upon the seed, and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto
you. � And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die ; he that toucheth the carcass
thereof shall be unclean until the even. And he that eateth of the carcass of it
shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even : he also that beareth the
carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. � And every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination ; it shall not
be eaten. Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or
whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them
ye shall not eat ; for they are an abomination. 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. For I am the Lord your God :
ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy ; for I am holy :
neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth. For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to
be your God : ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. "
29503 "And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall
be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand : and the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and
it fell : and great was the fall of it. � And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended
these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine : for he taught them as
one having authority, and not as the scribes. "

longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron ; because they
rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High :
therefore he brought down their heart with labor ; they fell down, and there was
none to help. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out
of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and
brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men ! For he hath broken the gates
of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. Fools, because of their
transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth
all manner of meat ; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto
the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his
word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men
would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children
of men ! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his
works with rejoicing. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in
great waters ; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he
commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. "

all the people of the congregation. And this shall be an everlasting statute unto
you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a

the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth ; and from the
south, under Ashdoth-pisgah : and the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the
remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, and reigned in mount
Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the
Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. Them did Moses

the Lord gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the
half tribe of Manasseh. "
8160 "And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we
should serve him ? is not he the son of Jerubbaal ? and Zebul his officer ? serve
the men of Hamor the father of Shechem : for why should we serve him ? 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. � And when Zebul the ruler of the
city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. And he sent
messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his
brethren be come to Shechem ; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee. Now
therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in
the field : 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. � And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night,
and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 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 lying in wait. And when Gaal saw the people, he
said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And
Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
And Gaal spake again and said, See, there come people down by the middle of the
land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim. Then said Zebul unto
him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we
should serve him ? is not this the people that thou hast despised ? go out, I pray
now, and fight with them. "
8173 "And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech. And
Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded,
even unto the entering of the gate. And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah : and Zebul
thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem. � And it
came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field ; and they told
Abimelech. And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid
wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the
city ; and he rose up against them, and smote them. And Abimelech, and the company
that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the
city : and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields,
and slew them. And Abimelech fought against the city all that day ; and he took the
city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it
with salt. � And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered
into a hold of the house of the god Berith. And it was told Abimelech, that all the
men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 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, and laid it on his
shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do,
make haste, and do as I have done. 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. � Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against
Thebez, and took it. "

Eshek his brother were, Ulam his firstborn, Jehush the second, and Eliphelet the
third. And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor, archers, and had many sons,

multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall
be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that
moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea ; into your hand are they
delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you ; even as the green
herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the
blood thereof, shall ye not eat. "
8 "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. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is
upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree
yielding seed ; to you it shall be for meat. 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. And God saw
every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and
the morning were the sixth day. "
36352 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments,

are all workers of miracles ? have all the gifts of healing ? do all speak with
tongues ? do all interpret ? But covet earnestly the best gifts. � And yet show I
unto you a more excellent way.
61 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was
with him in the ark : and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters
assuaged.
1069 "And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there : and make
there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face
of Esau thy brother. Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with
him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your
garments : 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. And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their
hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears ; and Jacob hid them under
the oak which was by Shechem. � And they journeyed : and the terror of God was upon
the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of
Jacob. So Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and
all the people that were with him. And he built there an altar, and called the
place El-beth-el [the God of Beth-el] ; because there God appeared unto him, when
he fled from the face of his brother. But Deborah Rebekah�s nurse died, and she was
buried beneath Beth-el under an oak : and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth
[the oak of weeping]. � And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of
Padanaram, and blessed him. 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. 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 ; "
1760 "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. And God said moreover unto
Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your
fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me
unto you : this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The Lord God of
your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying,
I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt : and I have
said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey. 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 God of the Hebrews hath met with
us : and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days� journey into the wilderness,
that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God. And I am sure that the king of Egypt
will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. And I will stretch out 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. And I will give this people favor in the sight of the
Egyptians : and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty :
but every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, 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. "
2344 And God spake all these words, saying,
19823 "and grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth : thy
judgments have I laid before me. I have stuck unto thy testimonies : O Lord, put me
not to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my
heart. he Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes ; and I shall keep it unto the
end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law ; yea, I shall observe it with
my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments ; for therein do I
delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away
mine eyes from beholding vanity ; and quicken thou me in thy way. Stablish thy word
unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. Turn away my reproach which I fear :
for thy judgments are good. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts : quicken me
in thy righteousness. vau Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy
salvation, according to thy word. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that
reproacheth me : for I trust in thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly
out of my mouth ; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law
continually for ever and ever. And I will walk at liberty : for I seek thy
precepts. "

either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. So David and
his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire ; and their wives,
and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. Then David and the people
that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to
weep. And David�s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and
Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 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 encouraged himself in the
Lord his God. � And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech�s son, I pray
thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
And David inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop ? shall I
overtake them ? And he answered him, Pursue : for thou shalt surely overtake them,
and without fail recover all. 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.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men : for two hundred abode behind, which
were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor. � And they found an
Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat
; and they made him drink water ; 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. 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 "
1053 "And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed
with the men of their city, saying, These men are peaceable with us ; therefore let
them dwell in the land, and trade therein ; for the land, behold, it is large
enough for them ; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them
our daughters. Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be
one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised. Shall
not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours ? only let
us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. 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. � And it came to pass on
the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi,
Dinah�s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew
all the males. And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword,
and took Dinah out of Shechem�s house, and went out. The sons of Jacob came upon
the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. They took
their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and
that which was in the field, and all their wealth, and all their little ones, and
their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house. 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 shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me ; and I
shall be destroyed, I and my house. And they said, Should he deal with our sister
as with a harlot ? "
8746 "And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is
exalted in the Lord ; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies ; because I rejoice in
thy salvation. There is none holy as the Lord : for there is none besides thee :
neither is there any rock like our God. 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. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled
are girded with strength. They that were full have hired out themselves for bread ;
and they that were hungry ceased : so that the barren hath borne seven ; and she
that hath many children is waxed feeble. The Lord killeth, and maketh alive : "
15736 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also the
gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good
for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the
king�s wrath pacified.
24804 "and hast brought 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 ; and hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their
fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey ; 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. 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. And thou hast said unto
me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses ; for the city is
given into the hand of the Chaldeans. � Then came the word of the Lord unto
Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh : is there any thing
too hard for me ? 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 : and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city,
shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs
they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other
gods, to provoke me to anger. For the children of Israel and the children of Judah
have only done evil before me from their youth : for the children of Israel have
only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord. For this
city hath been to me as 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 ; 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 "
27370 "and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee : for thou hast now
made known unto us the king�s matter. � Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom
the king had ordained 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 show unto the king the interpretation. � Then Arioch brought in Daniel before
the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of
Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation. 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 ? Daniel answered in
the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot
the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king ;
but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king
Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy
head upon thy bed, are these ; 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
maketh known to thee what shall come to pass. But as for me, this secret is not
revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes
that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know
the thoughts of thy heart. � Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This
great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee ; and the form
thereof was terrible. This image�s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms
of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of
iron and part of clay. "
18010 "and hast scattered us among the heathen. Thou sellest thy people for nought,
and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. Thou makest us a reproach to our
neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. Thou makest us a
byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. My confusion is
continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, for the voice of
him that reproacheth and blasphemeth ; by reason of the enemy and avenger. All this
is come upon us ; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in
thy covenant. Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from
thy way ; though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us
with the shadow of death. If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched
out our hands to a strange god ; shall not God search this out ? For he knoweth the
secrets of the heart. Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long ; we are
counted as sheep for the slaughter. Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord ? Arise, cast
us not off for ever. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction
and our oppression ? For our soul is bowed down to the dust : our belly cleaveth
unto the earth. Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies� sake. "
31144 "And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judea by the farther
side of Jordan : and the people resort unto him again ; and, as he was wont, he
taught them again. � And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for
a man to put away his wife ? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What
did Moses command you ? "
31038 "And he asked them, How many loaves have ye ? And they said, Seven. And he
commanded the people to sit down on the ground : and he took the seven loaves, and
gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them ; and they did
set them before the people. And they had a few small fishes : and he blessed, and
commanded to set them also before them. So they did eat, and were filled : and they
took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. And they that had eaten
were about four thousand : and he sent them away. And straightway he entered into a
ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. "
30808 "And he began again to teach by the sea side : and there was gathered unto
him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea ; and the
whole multitude was by the sea on the land. And he taught them many things by
parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, Hearken ; Behold, there went out a
sower to sow : and it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the
fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it
had not much earth ; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth
: but when the sun was up, it was scorched ; and because it had no root, it
withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it,
and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that
sprang up and increased, and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a
hundred. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. � And when
he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of
God : but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables : that
seeing they may see, and not perceive ; and hearing they may hear, and not
understand ; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be
forgiven them. "
31258 "And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a
vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a place for the winevat, and built a
tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And at the season
he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of
the fruit of the vineyard. And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away
empty. And again he sent unto them another servant ; and at him they cast stones,
and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. And again he
sent another ; and him they killed, and many others ; beating some, and killing
some. "
30873 "And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the
country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter
into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out,
and entered into the swine ; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the
sea, (they were about two thousand,) and were choked in the sea. � And they that
fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out
to see what it was that was done. And they come to Jesus, and see him that was
possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his
right mind ; and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to
him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. And they
began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. And when he was come into the
ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with
him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends,
and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion
on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus
had done for him : and all men did marvel. "
12558 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
brake down the high places of the gates that were in 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. Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the
Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
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. 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 suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire. And the altars
that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had
made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the
Lord, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of
them into the brook Kidron. 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 the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of
Ammon, did the king defile. And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the
groves, and filled their places with the bones of men. � 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, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the
high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove. And as Josiah
turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and
took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted
it,
29286 and he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth : that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
30219 "And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I
go, sir ; and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father ? They say
unto him, 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. 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 had seen it, repented not afterward,
that ye might believe him. "
39485 "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and
showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
having the glory of God : and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even
like a jasper stone, clear as crystal ; and had a wall great and high, and had
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 : on the east three
gates ; on the north three gates ; on the south three gates ; and on the west three
gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of
the twelve apostles of the Lamb. � And he that talked with me had a golden reed to
measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth
foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth : and he measured the city
with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height
of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four
cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building
of the wall of it was of jasper : and the city was pure gold, like unto clear
glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner
of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper ; the second, sapphire ; the
third, a chalcedony ; the fourth, an emerald ; the fifth, sardonyx ; the sixth,
sardius ; the seventh, chrysolite ; the eighth, beryl ; the ninth, a topaz ; the
tenth, a chrysoprasus ; the eleventh, a jacinth ; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the
twelve gates were twelve pearls ; every several gate was of one pearl : and the
street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. � And I saw no
temple therein : for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it : for the
glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. "
30552 "And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went
and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is
not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And
they took counsel, and bought with them the potter�s field, to bury strangers in.
Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. Then was
fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the
thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the
children of Israel did value ; and gave them for the potter�s field, as the Lord
appointed me. "
34529 "And he commanded the chariot to stand still : and they went down both into
the water, both Philip and the eunuch ; and he baptized him. And when they were
come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the
eunuch saw him no more : and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at
Azotus : and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to
Caesarea. "
1426 "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. 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. As soon as the
morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. And when they were
gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow
after the men ; and when thou "
34643 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he
which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the
prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive
remission of sins.
10407 "and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines ; and now he is fled
out of the land for Absalom. And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in
battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back ? � 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, even to his house. Ye are my
brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh : wherefore then are ye the last to bring
back the king ? And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh ? God
do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me
continually in the room of Joab. And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah,
even as the heart of one man ; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return
thou, and all thy servants. So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah
came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan. � And
Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down
with the men of Judah to meet king David. And there were a thousand men of Benjamin
with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his
twenty servants with him ; and they went over Jordan before the king. And there
went over a ferryboat to carry over the king�s household, and to do what he thought
good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over
Jordan ; and 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. For thy
servant doth know that I have sinned : therefore, behold, I am come the first this
day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king. 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 ? "
12521 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all
the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
30756 "And he entered again into the synagogue ; and there was a man there which
had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath
day ; that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man which had the withered
hand, Stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
days, or to do evil ? to save life, or to kill ? But they held their peace. And
when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness
of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched
it out : and his hand was restored whole as the other. And the Pharisees went
forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might
destroy him. "
29559 "And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
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 be forgiven thee. And, behold, certain of the scribes said within
themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore
think ye evil in your hearts ? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven
thee ; or to say, Arise, and walk ? 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,
take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house.
But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, which had given
such power unto men. "
31834 "And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon�s, and prayed him that
he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people
out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out
into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto
him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing : nevertheless at
thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a
great multitude of fishes : and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their
partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And
they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter
saw it, he fell down at Jesus� knees, saying, Depart from me ; for I am a sinful
man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of
the fishes which they had taken : and so was also James, and John, the sons of
Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not ; from
henceforth thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their ships to land,
they forsook all, and followed him. "
34421 "And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot
on : yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed
after him, when as yet he had no child. 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. And the nation to whom they shall be in
bondage will I judge, said God : and after that shall they come forth, and serve me
in this place. And he gave him the covenant of circumcision : and so Abraham begat
Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day ; and Isaac begat Jacob ; and Jacob begat
the twelve patriarchs. � And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into
Egypt : but God was with him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and
gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt ; and he made him
governor over Egypt and all his house. Now there came a dearth over all the land
of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction : and our fathers found no sustenance.
But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren ; and Joseph�s kindred
was made known unto Pharaoh. Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him,
and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. So Jacob went down into Egypt,
and died, he, and our fathers, and were carried over into Shechem, and laid in the
sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor, the father
of Shechem. � But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to
Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, till another king arose, which
knew not Joseph. The same dealt subtilely with our kindred, and evil entreated our
fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not
live. "
3003 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son
of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to
work all manner of work, 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 work, and of those that devise cunning work.
904 "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. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward
him as before. And the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers,
and to thy kindred ; and I will be with thee. And Jacob sent and called Rachel and
Leah to the field unto his flock, and said unto them, I see your father�s
countenance, that it is not toward me as before ; but the God of my father hath
been with me. And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. And
your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times ; but God suffered him
not to hurt me. If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages ; then all the
cattle bare speckled : and if he said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy hire ;
then bare all the cattle ring-streaked. Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your
father, and given them to me. And it came to pass at the time that the cattle
conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams
which leaped upon the cattle were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled. And the
angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob : and I said, Here am I. And
he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle
are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled : for I have seen all that Laban doeth
unto thee. I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where
thou vowedst a vow unto me : now arise, get thee out from this land, and return
unto the land of thy kindred. And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is
there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father�s house ? "
32820 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of
a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all : for
all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God : but she of
her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
12491 "And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used
enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards : he wrought much
wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. And he set a graven
image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the Lord said to David,
and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of
all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever : neither will I make the
feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers ; only if
they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according
to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them. But they hearkened not : and
Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the Lord destroyed
before the children of Israel. � And the Lord spake by his servants the prophets,
saying, 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 : therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel,
Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of
it, both his ears shall tingle. 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. And I will forsake 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 ; because they have done
that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their
fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day. � Moreover Manasseh shed
innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another ;
besides his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord. "
14458 "And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the
towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name
spread far abroad ; for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong. � But when
he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction : for he transgressed
against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon
the altar of incense. And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him
fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men : and they withstood Uzziah
the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth 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 honor from the Lord God. Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his
hand to burn incense : and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even
rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, from beside
the incense altar. And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon
him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from
thence ; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the Lord had smitten him. 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. � Now the rest
of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz,
write. So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in
the field of the burial which belonged to the kings ; for they said, He is a
leper : and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. "
3085 "And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood : five cubits was
the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof ; it was foursquare ; and
three cubits the height thereof. And he made the horns thereof on the four corners
of it ; the horns thereof were of the same : and he overlaid it with brass. And he
made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and
the fleshhooks, and the firepans : all the vessels thereof made he of brass. And he
made for the altar a brazen grate of network, under the compass thereof, beneath
unto the midst of it. And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of
brass, to be places for the staves. And he made the staves of shittim wood, and
overlaid them with brass. And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the
altar, to bear it withal ; he made the altar hollow with boards. � And he made the
laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the looking glasses of the women
assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. "
3083 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof
round about, and the horns of it : also he made unto it a crown of gold round
about. And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two
corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it
withal. And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold. � And
he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to
the work of the apothecary.
3450 "And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron�s head, and anointed him, to
sanctify him. And Moses brought Aaron�s sons, and put coats upon them, and girded
them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them ; as the Lord commanded Moses. � And
he brought the bullock for the sin offering : and Aaron and his sons laid their
hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering. 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 the blood at the bottom of the altar, and
sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it. And he took all the fat that was
upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat,
and Moses burned it upon the altar. But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and
his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp ; as the Lord commanded Moses. � And
he brought the ram for the burnt offering : and Aaron and his sons laid their hands
upon the head of the ram. And he killed it ; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the
altar round about. And he cut the ram into pieces ; and Moses burnt the head, and
the pieces, and the fat. And he washed the inwards and the legs in water ; and
Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar : it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet
savor, and an offering made by fire unto the Lord ; as the Lord commanded Moses. �
And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration : and Aaron and his sons laid
their hands upon the head of the ram. And he slew it ; and Moses took of the blood
of it, 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. And he brought Aaron�s sons,
and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of
their right hands, and "
3204 "And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the
table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. And he lighted the lamps before the
Lord ; as the Lord commanded Moses. And he put the golden altar in the tent of the
congregation before the veil : and he burnt sweet incense thereon ; as the Lord
commanded Moses. And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle. And he
put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering ; as the
Lord commanded Moses. And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and
the altar, and put water there, to wash withal. And Moses and Aaron and his sons
washed their hands and their feet thereat : when they went into the tent of the
congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed ; as the Lord
commanded Moses. And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the
altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work. "
11409 "And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built
in Samaria. And Ahab made a grove ; and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of
Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. In his days did
Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho : he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his
firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the
word of the Lord, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun. "
32552 "And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had
a steward ; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. And he
called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee ? give an account
of thy stewardship ; for thou mayest be no longer steward. Then the steward said
within himself, What shall I do ? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship :
I cannot dig ; to beg I am ashamed. I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put
out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. So he called every
one of his lord�s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou
unto my lord ? And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take
thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Then said he to another, And how
much owest thou ? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him,
Take thy bill, and write fourscore. And the lord commended the unjust steward,
because he had done wisely : for the children of this world are in their generation
wiser than the children of light. "
1021 "And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the
flocks and herds with young are with me ; and if men should overdrive them one day,
all the flock will die. Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant ;
and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the
children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. � 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. So Esau returned that day
on his way unto Seir. And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and
made booths for his cattle : therefore the name of the place is called Succoth
[booths]. � And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of
Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram ; and pitched his tent before the city. And he
bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the
children of Hamor, Shechem�s father, for a hundred pieces of money. And he erected
there an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel [God the God of Israel]. "
293 "And he said unto him, Take me a 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. And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid
each piece one against another : but the birds divided he not. And when the fowls
came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away. � And when the sun was going
down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram ; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon
him. 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 ; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge : and
afterward shall they come out with great substance. And thou shalt go to thy
fathers in peace ; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth
generation they shall come hither again : for the iniquity of the Amorites is not
yet full. � And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark,
behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. In
that same 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 : the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites,
and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the
Girgashites, and the Jebusites. "
1379 "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 were afraid, saying one to another,
What is this that God hath done unto us ? � And they came unto Jacob their father
unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them ; saying, The man,
who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the
country. And we said unto him, We are true men ; we are no spies : 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. And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us,
Hereby shall I know that ye are true men ; leave one of your brethren here with me,
and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone : 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 traffic in the land. �
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man�s bundle
of money was in his sack : and when both they and their father saw the bundles of
money, they were afraid. 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. 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. And he said, My son shall not go down with you ; for his brother
is dead, and he is left alone : 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. "
8495 "And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these
places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah. And they passed on and went
their way ; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which
belongeth to Benjamin. And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in
Gibeah : and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city : for there
was no man that took them into his house to lodging. � And, behold, there came an
old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim ;
and he sojourned in Gibeah : but the men of the place were Benjamites. And when he
had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city : and the
old man said, Whither goest thou ? and whence comest thou ? And he said unto him,
We are passing from Beth-lehem-judah toward the side of mount Ephraim ; from thence
am I : and I went to Beth-lehem-judah, but I am now going to the house of the
Lord ; and there is no man that receiveth me to house. 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. And the old man said, Peace be with thee ; howsoever, let all thy wants
lie upon me ; only lodge not in the street. So he brought him into his house, and
gave provender unto the asses : and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
� Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain
sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and 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. And the man, the master of the house, went out unto
them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly ;
seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly. "
25741 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto
thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my
feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. And he said unto me, Son of man, I send
thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against
me : they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
613 "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 : then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou
comest to my kindred ; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my
oath. � And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord God of my master
Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go : behold, I stand by the well of
water ; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water,
and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink ;
and she 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 out for my master�s son. � 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 well, and drew water : and I
said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee. 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. And I asked her, and said, Whose
daughter art thou ? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahors son, whom Milcah
bare unto him : and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her
hands. And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God
of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master�s
brother�s daughter unto his son. 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. � Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the
Lord : we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. Behold, Rebekah is before thee ; take
her, and go, and let her be thy master�s son�s wife, as the Lord hath spoken. "
2504 "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. And Moses
alone shall come near the Lord : but they shall not come nigh ; neither shall the
people go up with him. � And Moses came and told the people all the words of the
Lord, and all the judgments : and all the people answered with one voice, and said,
All the words which the Lord hath said will we do. And Moses wrote all the words of
the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill,
and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. And he sent young men
of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace
offerings of oxen unto the Lord. And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in
basins ; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. And he took the book of
the covenant, and read in the audience of the people : and they said, All that the
Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. 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. � Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab,
and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ; "
8694 "And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country
of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech�s : and I
thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the
elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it : but if thou wilt not
redeem it, then tell me, that I may know : for there is none to redeem it besides
thee ; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. 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. And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine
own inheritance : redeem thou my right to thyself ; for I cannot redeem it. � Now
this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning
changing, for to confirm all things ; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to
his neighbor : and this was a testimony in Israel. Therefore the kinsman said unto
Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. 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.
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. 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
Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem : "
2341 "And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day : come not at
your wives. � And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were
thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the
trumpet exceeding loud ; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. And
Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God ; and they stood at
the nether part of the mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a 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. And when the voice of the trumpet
sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a
voice. And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount : and the
Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount ; and Moses went up. 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. And let the priests also, which come near to the
Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them. And Moses said unto
the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai : for thou chargedst us, saying,
Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it. And the Lord said unto him, Away, 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. So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them. "
30821 "And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable ? and how then will ye know
all parables ? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the wayside, where
the word is sown ; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh
away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are
sown on stony ground ; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it
with gladness ; and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time :
afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word�s sake, immediately
they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns ; such as hear
the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the
lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And
these are they which are sown on good ground ; such as hear the word, and receive
it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred. "
32346 "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness : for a man�s
life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. And he
spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth
plentifully : and he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I
have no room where to bestow my fruits ? And he said, This will I do : I will pull
down my barns, and build greater ; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my
goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years
; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this
night thy soul shall be required of thee : then whose shall those things be, which
thou hast provided ? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich
toward God. "
31078 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that
stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God
come with power.
8090 "And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you ? Is not
the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer ? God hath
delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb : and what was I
able to do in comparison of you ? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he
had said that. � And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three
hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. 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, kings of Midian. 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 ? 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. And he went up thence to Penuel,
and spake unto them likewise : and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of
Succoth had answered him. And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I
come again in peace, I will break down this tower. � Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in
Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left
of all the hosts of the children of the east : for there fell a hundred and twenty
thousand men that drew sword. 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. And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two
kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host. � And Gideon the
son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up, "
32881 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with
you before I suffer : for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it
be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said,
Take this, and divide it among yourselves : for I say unto you, I will not drink of
the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and
gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is
given for you : this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper,
saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. But,
behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. And truly the
Son of man goeth, as it was determined : but woe unto that man by whom he is
betrayed ! And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that
should do this thing.
33506 "And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath ; I am from above : ye are of
this world ; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die
in your sins : for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Then
said they unto him, Who art thou ? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I
said unto you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you :
but he that sent me is true ; and I speak to the world those things which I have
heard of him. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. Then said
Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I
am he, and that I do nothing of myself ; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak
these things. And he that sent me is with me : the Father hath not left me alone ;
for I do always those things that please him. As he spake these words, many
believed on him. "
31421 "And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee ; take away
this cup from me : nevertheless, not what I will, but what thou wilt. And he
cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou ?
couldest not thou watch one hour ? Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into
temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. And again he went
away, and prayed, and spake the same words. And when he returned, he found them
asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
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. Rise up, let us go ; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. "
22213 "And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David ; Is it a small thing for you to
weary men, but will ye weary my God also ? Therefore the Lord himself shall give
you a sign ; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his
name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil,
and choose the good. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose
the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. 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. � 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. 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
bushes. � In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely,
by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the
feet : and it shall also consume the beard. � And it shall come to pass in that
day, that a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep ; and it shall come to
pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give, he shall eat butter : for
butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land. � And it shall come
to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines
at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns. With arrows and
with bows shall men come thither ; because all the land shall become briers and
thorns. And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not
come thither the fear of briers and thorns : but it shall be for the sending forth
of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle. "
373 "And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life
; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door,
which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age ; and
it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed
within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being
old also ? And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall
I of a surety bear a child, which am old ? Is any thing too hard for the Lord ? At
the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and
Sarah shall have a son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not ; for she was
afraid. And he said, Nay ; but thou didst laugh. "
23346 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise
up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel : I will also give
thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of
the earth. Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him
whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings
shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is
faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
9403 "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
favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore
he cometh not unto the king�s table. � Then Saul�s anger was kindled against
Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I
know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the
confusion of thy mother�s nakedness ? For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon
the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and
fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die. And Jonathan answered Saul his father,
and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain ? what hath he done ? And Saul cast
a javelin at him to smite him : whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his
father to slay David. 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. � 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. And
he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad
ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 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 ? And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not.
And Jonathan�s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. But the lad knew
not any thing : only Jonathan and David knew the matter. And Jonathan gave his
artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city. 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 "
583 "And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good
speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham. Behold, I stand here by
the well of water ; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water
: 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 showed kindness unto my
master. � And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah
came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham�s
brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. And the damsel was very fair to look
upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her : and she went down to the well, and
filled her pitcher, and came up. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me,
I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. And she said, Drink, my lord :
and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. And
when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels
also, until they have done drinking. And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into
the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his
journey prosperous or not. � And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking,
that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for
her hands of ten shekels weight of gold ; and said, Whose daughter art thou ? tell
me, I pray thee : is there room in thy father�s house for us to lodge in ? And she
said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto
Nahor. "
11726 "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. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder ; and
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My
father, my father, the chariot 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. He
took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by
the bank of Jordan ; and he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote
the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah ? And when he also had
smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither : and Elisha went over. � And
when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The
spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed
themselves to the ground before him. 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. 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. And when they came again to him, (for he
tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not ? � And the
men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city
is pleasant, as my lord seeth : but the water is naught, and the ground barren. And
he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. "
1922 "And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word ; that thou
mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God. 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. And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh :
and Moses cried unto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against
Pharaoh. And the Lord did according to the word of Moses ; and the frogs died out
of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. And they gathered them
together upon heaps ; and the land stank. But when Pharaoh saw that there was
respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them ; as the Lord had said.
"
11457 "And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into
the hand of Ahab, to slay me ? 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
there ; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. And
now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 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. Was it not told my
lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men
of the Lord�s prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water ? And
now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here : and he shall slay me.
And Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely
show myself unto him today. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him : and Ahab
went to meet Elijah. � And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said
unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel ? And he answered, I have not troubled
Israel ; but thou, and thy father�s house, in that ye have forsaken the
commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. 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 groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel�s
table. "
8815 And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said 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 said unto thee. 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. � And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words
fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was
established to be a prophet of the Lord. And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh :
for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
1208 "And he said, What pledge shall I give thee ? And she said, Thy signet, and
thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in
unto her, and she conceived by him. And she arose, and went away, and laid by her
veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. � And Judah sent the kid
by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman�s
hand : but he found her not. Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is
the harlot, that was openly by the wayside ? And they said, There was no harlot in
this place. And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her ; and also the
men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. And Judah said, Let
her take it to her, lest we be shamed : behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not
found her. � 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 also, behold, she is
with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. When
she was brought forth she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man, whose
these are, am I with child : and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these,
the signet, and bracelets, and staff. And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She
hath been more righteous than I ; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And
he knew her again no more. � And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that,
behold, twins were in her womb. And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the
one put out his hand : and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet
thread, saying, This came out first. And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand,
that, behold, his brother came out : and she said, How hast thou broken forth ?
this breach be upon thee : therefore his name was called Pharez. And afterward came
out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand : and his name was
called Zarah. "
8468 "And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye
are gone away : and what have I more ? and what is this that ye say unto me, What
aileth thee ? And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard
among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives
of thy household. 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. � And they
took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto
Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure : and they smote them with the
edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire. And there was no deliverer,
because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man ; and it was
in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
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. And the
children of Dan set up the graven image : and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son
of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the
captivity of the land. And they set them up Micah�s graven image, which he made,
all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. "
14364 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. And he took the captains of hundreds, and
the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and
brought down the king from the house of the Lord : and they came through the high
gate into the king�s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom. And
all the people of the land rejoiced : and the city was quiet, after that they had
slain Athaliah with the sword.
11963 "And he settled his countenance steadfastly, until he was ashamed : and the
man of God wept. 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 strongholds
wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt
dash their children, and rip up their women with child. And Hazael said, But what,
is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing ? And Elisha answered, The
Lord hath showed me that thou shalt be king over Syria. So he departed from
Elisha, and came to his master ; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee ? And he
answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover. And it came to pass on the
morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his
face, so that he died : and Hazael reigned in his stead. "
17837 "And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as
the noonday. 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. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath : fret not thyself in any wise
to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off : but those that wait upon the Lord,
they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be :
yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek
shall inherit the earth ; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The
Lord shall laugh at him : for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have
drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and
to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own
heart, and their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man hath is better
than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken : but
the Lord upholdeth the righteous. The Lord knoweth the days of the upright : and
their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time :
and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, and
the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs : they shall consume ; into
smoke shall they consume away. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again : but the
righteous showeth mercy, and giveth. "
3723 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 : but he shall let go the living bird out of the city
into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house : and it shall be clean.
� This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, and for the
leprosy of a garment, and of a house, and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a
bright spot : to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean : this is the law
of leprosy.
5289 "and he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an
everlasting priesthood ; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement
for the children of Israel. � Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even
that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of
a chief house among the Simeonites. And the name of the Midianitish woman that was
slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur ; he was head over a people, and of a chief
house in Midian. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Vex the Midianites, and
smite them : for they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in
the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian,
their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor�s sake. "
3237 "And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord :
and the priests, Aaron�s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat : and the priest
shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar :
but he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water : and the priest shall bring
it all, and burn it upon the altar : it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by
fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord. � And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering
to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of
young pigeons. And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his
head, and burn it on the altar ; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the
side of the altar : and he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it
beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes. And he shall cleave
it with 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
sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord. "
3653 "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 a skin, or in any work
that is made of skin ; the plague is a fretting leprosy ; it is unclean. He shall
therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woolen 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. � 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 ; then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague
is, and he shall shut it up seven days more : and the priest shall look on the
plague, after that it is washed : and, behold, if the plague have not changed his
color, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean ; thou shalt burn it in the fire
; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without. � And if the priest
look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it ; then he
shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of
the woof : and if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the
woof, or in any thing of skin ; it is a spreading plague : thou shalt burn that
wherein the plague is with fire. And the garment, either warp, or 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. � This is
the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the
warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it
unclean. "
29053 "And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves
in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up : and the pride of Assyria
shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away. And I will
strengthen them in the Lord ; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith
the Lord. "
30433 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 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 : for I was
ahungered, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink : I was a
stranger, and ye took me in : naked, and ye clothed me : I was sick, and ye visited
me : I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him,
saying, Lord, when saw we thee ahungered, and fed thee ? or thirsty, and gave thee
drink ? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in ? or naked, and clothed
thee ? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee ? And the King
shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he
say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting
fire, prepared for the devil and his angels : for I was ahungered, and ye gave me
no meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink : 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.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee ahungered, or
athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto
thee ? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did
it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away
into everlasting punishment : but the righteous into life eternal.
3782 "and he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar
before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it
within the veil : 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 : and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with
his finger upon the mercy seat eastward ; and before the mercy seat shall he
sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. � Then shall he kill the goat of
the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and
do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon
the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat : and he shall make an atonement for the
holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of
their transgressions in all their sins : and so shall he do for the tabernacle of
the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. And
there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to
make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement
for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel. And he
shall go out unto the altar that is before the Lord, and make an 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. And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon
it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness
of the children of Israel. � And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy
place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the
live goat : and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and
confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their
transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head "
3325 "And he shall take away all the fat thereof, 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 savor unto the Lord ; and the priest shall make an atonement for him,
and it shall be forgiven him. � And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he
shall bring it a female without blemish. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of
the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the
burnt offering. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour
out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar : and he shall take away all
the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the
peace offerings ; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the
offerings made by fire unto the Lord : and the priest shall make an atonement for
his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him. "
35427 "And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Howbeit they
looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly : but after they
had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds,
and said that he was a god. � In the same quarters were possessions of the chief
man of the island, whose name was Publius ; who received us, and lodged us three
days courteously. And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a
fever and of a bloody flux : to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his
hands on him, and healed him. So when this was done, others also, which had
diseases in the island, came, and were healed : who also honored us with many
honors ; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary. "
39503 "And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding
out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on
either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of
fruits, and yielded her fruit every month : and the leaves of the tree were for the
healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse : but the throne of God
and of the Lamb shall be in it ; and his servants shall serve him : and they shall
see his face ; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no
night there ; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun ; for the Lord God
giveth them light : and they shall reign for ever and ever. "
28895 "And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the
Lord, and Satan [an adversary] standing at his right hand to resist him. And the
Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan ; even the Lord that hath
chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee : is not this a brand plucked out of the fire ? Now
Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. And he
answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy
garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to
pass from the thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. 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. � And the angel of
the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; If thou wilt
walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my
house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among
these that stand by. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that
sit before thee : for they are men wondered at : for, behold, I will bring forth my
servant the Branch. For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua ; upon one
stone shall be seven eyes : behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith "
32641 "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray,
and not to faint ; saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God,
neither regarded man : and there was a widow in that city ; and she came unto him,
saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. "
10849 And he spake three thousand proverbs : and his songs were a thousand and
five. And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree 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. And there came of all people to hear the wisdom
of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
11440 "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. And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah ; and the soul of the child came into
him again, and he revived. 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. And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art
a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. "
33694 "And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes ; and
his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let
him go. "
2156 "and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and
captains over every one of them. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of
Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel : and the children of Israel
went out with a high hand. But 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. � 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. 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
carry us forth out of Egypt ? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt,
saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians ? For it had been better for
us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. And Moses
said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord,
which he will show to you today : for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye
shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall
hold your peace. And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me ?
speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward : but lift thou up thy rod,
and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it : and the children of Israel
shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. And I, behold, I will harden
the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them : and I will get me honor
upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. And
the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me honor upon
Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. "
1548 "And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto
Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation ? And they
said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers. They
said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come ; for thy
servants have no pasture for their 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.
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto
thee : the land of Egypt is before thee ; in the best of the land make thy father
and brethren to dwell ; in the land of Goshen let them dwell : and if thou knowest
any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle. � And Joseph
brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh : and Jacob blessed
Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou ? And Jacob said unto
Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years :
few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto
the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. 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. And Joseph
nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father�s household, with bread,
according to their families. � And there was no bread in all the land ; for the
famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted
by reason of the famine. 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. "
31403 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them : and
they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament,
which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of
the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
11169 "And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the
mischief that Hadad did : and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. � And
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon�s servant, whose
mother�s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the
king. And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king : Solomon
built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father. And the man
Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor : and Solomon seeing the young man that he was
industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. And it
came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet
Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way ; and he had clad himself with a new
garment ; and they two were alone in the field : and Ahijah caught the new garment
that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces : 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 : (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 :) because that they have
forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh
the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not
walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes
and my judgments, as did David his father. 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 : but I will take the kingdom out of his son�s hand, and will give it unto
thee, even ten tribes. "
12093 "And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years. And Athaliah did
reign over the land. � And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers
over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the
house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the
house of the Lord, and showed them the king�s son. And he commanded them, saying,
This is the thing that ye shall do ; A third part of you that enter in on the
sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king�s house ; and a third part
shall be at the gate of Sur ; and a third part at the gate behind the guard : so
shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down. And two parts of
all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house
of the Lord about the king. And ye shall compass the king round about, every man
with his weapons in his hand : and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be
slain : and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in. � And the
captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest
commanded : and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath,
with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. And
to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David�s spears and shields,
that were in the temple of the Lord. And the guard stood, every man with his
weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to
the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple. And he brought
forth the king�s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony ; and
they made him king, and anointed him ; and they clapped their hands, and said, God
save the king. � And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people,
she came to the people into the temple of the Lord. And when she looked, behold,
the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters
by the king, and "
14339 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years : and Athaliah reigned
over the land.
11739 "And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there,
and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters ; there shall not be from
thence any more death or barren land. So the waters were healed unto this day,
according to the saying of Elisha which he spake. � 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. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of
the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and
two children of them. And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he
returned to Samaria. "
30908 "And he went out from thence, and came into his own country ; and his
disciples follow him. And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the
synagogue : and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man
these things ? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such
mighty works are wrought by his hands ? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary,
the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon ? and are not his sisters
here with us ? And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet
is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own
house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few
sick folk, and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. � And he
went round about the villages, teaching. "
22653 "And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all
people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in
victory ; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces ; and the rebuke
of his people shall he take away from off all the earth : for the Lord hath spoken
it. � 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. � For in this mountain shall the hand of the
Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down
for the dunghill. And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he
that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim : and he shall bring down their
pride together with the spoils of their hands. And the fortress of the high fort of
thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

28492 "and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths : for the
law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall
judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off ; and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks : nation shall
not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 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. For all people
will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the
Lord our God for ever and ever. "
32655 "And he would not for a while : but afterward he said within himself, Though
I fear not God, nor regard man ; yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge
her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the
unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night
unto him, though he bear long with them ? I tell you that he will avenge them
speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the
earth ? "

the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people ; there shall they be
called the children of the living God. Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel,
Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant
shall be saved : for he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness :
because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. And as Isaiah said before,
Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made
like unto Gomorrah. "
8483 "And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and
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. 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. And
it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that 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 go your way. And they sat down, and did
eat and drink both of them together : for the damsel�s father had said unto the
man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
And when the man rose up to depart, his father-in-law urged him : therefore he
lodged there again. 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 they tarried
until afternoon, and they did eat both of them. 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. � But the
man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against
Jebus, which is Jerusalem ; and there were with him two asses saddled, his
concubine also was with him. And 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 in into
this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it. And his master said unto him, We will
not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of
Israel ; we will pass over to Gibeah. "
5498 "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. But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day 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. Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her
husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 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 confirmeth them, because he held
his peace at her in the day that he heard them. But if he shall any ways make them
void after that he hath heard them ; then he shall bear her iniquity. � These are
the statutes, which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between
the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father�s house. "
26390 "And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and
divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not
spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and
have vexed the poor and needy : yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the
gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it : but I found none.
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them ; I have consumed them with
the fire of my wrath : their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the
Lord God. "
32095 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway : and he commanded to
give her meat. And her parents were astonished : but he charged them that they
should tell no man what was done.
32974 "And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed
him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. And the same day Pilate and
Herod were made friends together ; for before they were at enmity between
themselves. "
14567 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 God of Israel. For the king had taken counsel, and his
princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second
month. For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not
sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves
together to Jerusalem. And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation. 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 God of
Israel at Jerusalem : for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it
was written. 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 God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand
of the kings of Assyria. And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren,
which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up
to desolation, as ye see. 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 the fierceness of his wrath
may turn away from you. For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your brethren and your
children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they
shall come again into this land : for the Lord your God
11081 "And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him ;
and they pleased him not. 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. And Hiram sent
to the king sixscore talents of gold. � 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. For Pharaoh
king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the
Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter,
Solomon�s wife. And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether. And Baalath,
and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, and all the cities of store that Solomon
had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which
Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his
dominion. And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,
Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel, their children
that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not
able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto
this day. But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen : but they were
men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his
chariots, and his horsemen. � These were the chief of the officers that were over
Solomon�s work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that
wrought in the work. � 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. � And three
times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the
altar which he built unto the Lord, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was
before the Lord. So he finished the house. "
10852 "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. And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, Thou knowest how that David my
father could not build a house unto 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. But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is
neither adversary nor evil occurrent. And, behold, I purpose to build a house unto
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 a house unto my
name. Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon ; and
my servants shall be with thy servants : and unto thee will I give hire for thy
servants according to all that thou shalt appoint : for thou knowest that there is
not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians. � 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. "
10863 "And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou
sentest to me for : and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and
concerning timber of fir. My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the
sea ; and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt
appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them
: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household. So Hiram
gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire. 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. 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. � And king Solomon raised a levy out
of all Israel ; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 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. And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand
that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains ; besides the
chief of Solomon�s officers which were over the work, three thousand and three
hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work. And the king
commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay
the foundation of the house. And Solomon�s builders and Hiram�s builders did hew
them, and the stonesquarers : so they prepared timber and stones to build the
house. "
13611 And his brethren, men of valor, were two thousand and seven hundred chief
fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half
tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
27 "And his brother�s name was Jubal : he was the father of all such as handle
the harp and organ. And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructor of every
artificer in brass and iron : and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. � 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 to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. � And Adam
knew his wife again ; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth [appointed, or
put] : For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain
slew. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son ; and he called his name Enos :
then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. "
14794 and his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the
kings of Israel and Judah.
4319 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven
thousand and four hundred. All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were a
hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred,
throughout their armies : these shall first set forth. � On the south side shall be
the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies : and the captain of
the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. And his host, and those
that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred. And those
which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon : and the captain of the children
of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. And his host, and those that
were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. Then the
tribe of Gad : and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of
Reuel. And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five
thousand and six hundred and fifty. All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben
were a hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty,
throughout their armies : and they shall set forth in the second rank. � Then the
tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in
the midst of the camp : as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his
place by their standards. � On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of
Ephraim according to their armies : and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be
Elishama the son of Ammihud. And his host, and those that were numbered of them,
were forty thousand and five hundred. And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh :
and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand
and two hundred.
31091 "And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow ; so as no fuller on
earth can white them. And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses : and they
were talking with Jesus. And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good
for us to be here : and let us make three tabernacles ; one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for Elijah. For he wist not what to say ; for they were sore afraid.
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them : and a voice came out of the cloud,
saying, This is my beloved Son : hear him. And suddenly, when they had looked
round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. � And as
they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what
things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. And they kept
that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the
dead should mean. And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must
first come ? And he answered and told them, Elijah verily cometh first, and
restoreth all things ; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer
many things, and be set at nought. But I say unto you, That Elijah is indeed come,
and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him. "
11379 And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him,
as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his
house in Tirzah. 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. � And it came to pass,
when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house
of Baasha : he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his
kinsfolk, nor of his friends. 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, for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they
sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord God of Israel
to anger with their vanities. 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 ? �
In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in
Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the
Philistines. And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and
hath also slain the king : wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host,
king over Israel that day in the camp. And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all
Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that
the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king�s house, and burnt the
king�s house over him with fire, and died, for his sins which he sinned in doing
evil in the sight of the Lord, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin
which he did, to make Israel to sin. 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 ?
11855 "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 ? 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.
� And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood
before him : and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth,
but in Israel : now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant. 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. And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray
thee, be given to thy servant two mules� burden of earth ? for thy servant will
henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the
Lord. In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the
house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in
the house of Rimmon : when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the Lord
pardon thy servant in this thing. And he said unto him, Go in peace. � So he
departed from him a little way. But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God,
said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his
hands that which he brought : but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and
take somewhat of him. So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him
running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all
well ? And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now
there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets :
give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. "
12823 And his wife Jehudijah bare Jered the father of Gedor, and Heber the father
of Socho, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah. And these are the sons of Bithiah the
daughter of Pharaoh, which Mered took. And the sons of his wife Hodiah the sister
of Naham, the father of Keilah the Garmite, and Eshtemoa the Maachathite. And the
sons of Shimon were, Amnon, and Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. And the sons of Ishi
were, Zoheth, and Ben-zoheth. The sons of Shelah the son of Judah were, Er the
father of Lecah, and Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the families of the house
of them that wrought fine linen, of the house of Ashbea, and Jokim, and the men of
Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and Jashubi-lehem.
And these are ancient things. These were the potters, and those that dwelt among
plants and hedges : there they dwelt with the king for his work.
35173 "And I answered, Who art thou, Lord ? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of
Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. And they that were with me saw indeed the light,
and were afraid ; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. 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.
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. � And one Ananias, a devout man according
to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, came unto me,
and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I
looked up upon him. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou
shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his
mouth. For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
And now why tarriest thou ? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling
on the name of the Lord. "
39327 "And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go
your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. � And the
first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth ; and there fell a noisome and
grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which
worshipped his image. "
33777 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting : whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
39116 "And I looked, and behold a pale horse : and his name that sat on him was
Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth
part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with
the beasts of the earth. � And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony
which they held : and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy
and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the
earth ? And white robes were given unto every one of them ; and it was said unto
them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. �
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great
earthquake ; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as
blood ; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a
scroll when it is rolled together ; and every mountain and island were moved out of
their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and
the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid
themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains ; and said to the
mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on
the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb : for the great day of his wrath is come
; and who shall be able to stand ? "
39281 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred
forty and four thousand, having his Father�s name written in their foreheads. And
I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a
great thunder : and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps :
8016 "and I said unto you, I am the Lord your God ; fear not the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land ye dwell : but ye have not obeyed my voice. � And there
came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained
unto Joash the Abiezrite : and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to
hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said
unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. And Gideon said unto
him, O my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us ? and
where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord
bring us up from Egypt ? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into
the hands of the Midianites. And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy
might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites : have not I sent
thee ? And he said unto him, O my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel ? behold, my
family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father�s house. And the Lord
said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as
one man. And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me
a sign that thou talkest with me. Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto
thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry
until thou come again. � And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened
cakes of an ephah of flour : the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in
a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. 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. "
5784 "And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which
the Lord our God doth give unto us. Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land
before thee : go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto
thee ; fear not, neither be discouraged. And ye came near unto me every one of you,
and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and
bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
And the saying pleased me well ; and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe : and
they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and
searched it out. 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 doth give us. � Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled
against the commandment of the Lord your God : 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. Whither shall we go
up ? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and
taller than we ; the cities are great and walled up to heaven ; and moreover we
have seen the sons of the Anakim there. Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be
afraid of them. The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you,
according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes ; 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 into this place. Yet in
this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God, who went in the way before you,
to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by
what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day. "
28464 "And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house
of Israel ; Is it not for you to know judgment ? Who hate the good, and love the
evil ; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones
; who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them ; and they
break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the
caldron. "
28938 "And I said, What is it ? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He
said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. And, behold, there
was lifted up a talent of lead : and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of
the ephah. And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the
ephah ; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. Then lifted I up
mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in
their wings ; for they had wings like the wings of a stork : and they lifted up the
ephah between the earth and the heaven. Then said I to the angel that talked with
me, Whither do these bear the ephah ? And he said unto me, To build it a house in
the land of Shinar : and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
"
39472 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth : for the first heaven and the first
earth were passed away ; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for
her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes ; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain : for the former things are passed
away. � And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
said unto me, Write : for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me,
It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him
that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh
shall inherit all things ; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the
fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone : which is the second death. "
39446 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless
pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast
him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he
should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled :
and after that he must be loosed a little season. � And I saw thrones, and they sat
upon them, and judgment was given unto them : and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not
worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their
foreheads, or in their hands ; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were
finished. This is the first resurrection. "
39192 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud :
and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet
as pillars of fire : and he had in his hand a little book open : and he set his
right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud
voice, as when a lion roareth : and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their
voices.
39313 "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having
the seven last plagues ; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. "
39088 "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written
within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel
proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the
seals thereof ? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was
able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was
found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the
elders saith unto me, Weep not : behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root
of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. �
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in
the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and
seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And
he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell
down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of
odors, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art
worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof : for thou wast slain, and
hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people,
and nation ; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests : and we shall reign
on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the
throne, and the beasts, and the elders : and the number of them was ten thousand
times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands ; "
39368 "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 great admiration.
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel ? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven
heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not ; and shall ascend
out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition : and they that dwell on the earth
shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation
of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here
is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the
woman sitteth. And there are seven kings : five are fallen, and one is, and the
other is not yet come ; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the
beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth
into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet ; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These
shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them : for he is Lord of
lords, and King of kings : and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and
faithful. � And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns
which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her
desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath
put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto
the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. "
39104 "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the
noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and
behold a white horse : and he that sat on him had a bow ; and a crown was given
unto him : and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. � And when he had opened
the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out
another horse that was red : and power was given to him that sat thereon to take
peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another : and there was given
unto him a great sword. � And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third
beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse ; and he that sat on
him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the
four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a
penny ; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. � And when he had opened the
fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. "
1800 and I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me : and if thou refuse
to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. � And it came to
pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him. Then
Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at
his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. So he let him go : then
she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision. � And the Lord
said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in
the mount of God, and kissed him. And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord
who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him. And Moses and Aaron
went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel : and Aaron
spake all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the
sight of the people. And the people believed : and when they heard that the Lord
had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction,
then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
32565 "And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of
unrighteousness ; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting
habitations. � He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in
much : and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye
have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the
true riches ? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man�s, who
shall give you that which is your own ? No servant can serve two masters : for
either he will hate the one, and love the other ; or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. � And the Pharisees also,
who were covetous, heard all these things : and they derided him. And he said unto
them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men ; but God knoweth your hearts
: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. "
39265 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the
sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his
heads the name of blasphemy. 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 seat, and great authority. And I saw one of
his heads as it were wounded to death ; and his deadly wound was healed : and all
the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power
unto the beast : and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the
beast ? who is able to make war with him ? � And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies ; and power was given unto him to continue
forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to
blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was
given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them : and power was
given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the
earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear.
"
29068 "And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my
covenant which I had made with all the people. And it was broken in that day : and
so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord.
And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price ; and if not, forbear. So
they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said unto me, Cast
it unto the potter : a goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I took the
thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.
Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood
between Judah and Israel. � And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
instruments of a foolish shepherd. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land,
which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor
heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still : but he shall eat the
flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. Woe to the idle shepherd that
leaveth the flock ! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye : his
arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. "
7754 "And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him
throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau : and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess
it ; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. I sent Moses also and Aaron,
and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them : and afterward I
brought you out. And I brought your fathers out of Egypt : and ye came unto the sea
; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the
Red sea. And when they cried unto the Lord, he put darkness between you and the
Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them ; and your eyes have
seen what I have done in Egypt : and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season. And
I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan ;
and they fought with you : and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess
their land ; and I destroyed them from before you. Then Balak the son of Zippor,
king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son
of Beor to curse you : but I would not hearken unto Balaam, therefore he blessed
you still : so I delivered you out of his hand. And ye went over Jordan, and came
unto Jericho : and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites,
and the Jebusites ; and I delivered them into your hand. And I sent the hornet
before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the
Amorites ; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow. And I have given you a land
for which ye did not labor, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them ;
of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat. "
28941 "And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came
four chariots out from between two mountains ; and the mountains were mountains of
brass. In the first chariot were red horses ; and in the second chariot black
horses ; and in the third chariot white horses ; and in the fourth chariot
grizzled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with
me, What are these, my lord ? And the angel answered and said unto me, These are
the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of
all the earth. The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country ;
and the white go forth after them ; and the grizzled go forth toward the south
country. "
36861 "And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I
preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by
any means I should run, or had run, in vain. But neither Titus, who was with me,
being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised : and that because of false brethren
unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in
Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage : to whom we gave place by
subjection, no, not for an hour ; that the truth of the gospel might continue with
you. But of those who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no
matter to me : God accepteth no man�s person :) for they who seemed to be somewhat
in conference added nothing to me : but contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel
of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was
unto Peter ; (for he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the
circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles ;) and when James,
Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto
me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship ; that we should go
unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. Only they would that we should
remember the poor ; the same which I also was forward to do. "
24544 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. For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them
also : and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the
works of their own hands.
39220 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a
thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. � These are the two
olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if
any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their
enemies : and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These
have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy : and
have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all
plagues, as often as they will. And when they shall have finished their testimony,
the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and
shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street
of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord
was crucified. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall
see their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies
to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them,
and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another ; because these two prophets
tormented them that dwelt on the earth. And after three days and a half the Spirit
of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet ; and great fear
fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto
them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud ; and their enemies
beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of
the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand : and the
remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. � The second woe is
past ; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. "
1878 And I will harden Pharaoh�s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in
the land of Egypt. But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand
upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out
of the land of Egypt by great judgments. 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. And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did
they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old,
when they spake unto Pharaoh.
26705 "And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy
height. I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to
the mountains ; and the rivers shall be full of thee. And when I shall put thee
out, 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. All the bright lights of
heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord
God. � I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy
destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known. Yea, I
will make many people 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. For thus saith the Lord
God ; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. By the swords of the
mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them
: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be
destroyed. I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great
waters ; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of
beasts trouble them. Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to
run like oil, saith the Lord God. When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and
the country shall be 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. This is the
lamentation wherewith they shall lament her : the daughters of the nations shall
lament her : they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude,
saith the Lord God. � 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, "
24263 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen 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. And I will deliver thee out of the
hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
25436 "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. � 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. 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. � Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the
nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of
Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz ; appoint a captain against her ; cause the horses to
come up as the rough caterpillars. Prepare against her the nations with the kings
of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of
his dominion. And the land shall tremble and sorrow : for every purpose of the Lord
shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation
without an inhabitant. The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have
remained in their holds : their might hath failed ; they became as women : they
have burned her dwelling places ; her bars are broken. One post shall run to meet
another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his
city is taken at one end, and that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they
have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted. For thus saith the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel ; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it
is time to thresh her : yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
� 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
belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out. "
26377 "And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the
countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. And thou shalt take thine
inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am
the Lord. � And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, the house of
Israel is to me become dross : all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in
the midst of the furnace ; they are even the dross of silver. Therefore thus saith
the Lord God ; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you
into the midst of Jerusalem. 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 leave you there, and
melt you. Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye
shall be melted in the midst thereof. 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. � And the word of the Lord came unto me,
saying, Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor
rained upon in the day of indignation. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the
midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey : they have devoured souls ;
they have taken the treasure and precious things ; they have made her many widows
in the midst thereof. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy
things : they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have
they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes
from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof
are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get
dishonest gain. "
28825 and I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall come : and
I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine, and
the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be
greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts : and in this place will I give
peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
27813 "And I will 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. "
36803 "And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you ; though the more
abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. But be it so, I did not burden you :
nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. Did I make a gain of you by
any of them whom I sent unto you ? I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother.
Did Titus make a gain of you ? walked we not in the same spirit ? walked we not in
the same steps ? � Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you ? we speak
before God in Christ : but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. For
I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall
be found unto you such as ye would not : lest there be debates, envyings, wraths,
strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults : and lest, when I come
again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have
sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and
lasciviousness which they have committed. "
36061 "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto
carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat :
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are
yet carnal : for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are
ye not carnal, and walk as men ? For while one saith, I am of Paul ; and another, I
am of Apollos ; are ye not carnal ? � Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but
ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man ? I have planted,
Apollos watered ; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth
any thing, neither he that watereth ; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that
planteth and he that watereth are one : and every man shall receive his own reward
according to his own labor. For we are laborers together with God : ye are God�s
husbandry, ye are God�s building. � According to the grace of God which is given
unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth
thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other
foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man
build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble ;
every man�s work shall be made manifest : for the day shall declare it, because it
shall be revealed by fire ; and the fire shall try every man�s work of what sort it
is. If any man�s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a
reward. If any man�s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss : but he himself
shall be saved ; yet so as by fire. "
36032 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of
wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any
thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in
weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was
not with enticing words of man�s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of
power : that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of
God.

37804 "And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he
strive lawfully. The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the fruits.
Consider what I say ; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. �
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead, according
to my gospel : wherein I suffer trouble, as an evildoer, even unto bonds ; but the
word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the elect�s sake, that
they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It
is a faithful saying : For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him : if
we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us :
if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful : he cannot deny himself. "
3925 "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. If a man
also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an
abomination : they shall surely be put to death ; their blood shall be upon them.
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. And if a man
lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death ; and ye shall slay the beast.
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. � And if a man shall take his sister, his father�s daughter, or his
mother�s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness ; it is a
wicked thing ; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people : he hath
uncovered his sister�s nakedness ; he shall bear his iniquity. And if a man shall
lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness ; he hath
discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood : and
both of them shall be cut off from among their people. And thou shalt not uncover
the nakedness of thy mother�s sister, nor of thy father�s sister ; for he
uncovereth his near kin : they shall bear their iniquity. 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. And if a man shall take his brother�s wife,
it is an unclean thing : he hath uncovered his brother�s nakedness ; they shall be
childless. � Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do
them : that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spew you not out. "
3327 "And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether
he hath seen or known of it ; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his
iniquity. Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcass of an
unclean beast, or a carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping
things, and if it be hidden from him ; he also shall be unclean, and guilty. Or if
he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be
defiled withal, and it be hid from him ; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be
guilty. Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good,
whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him ;
when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these. "
4893 "And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your
generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the
Lord ; as ye do, so he shall do. One ordinance shall be both for you of the
congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for
ever in your generations : as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. One
law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
� And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, then it shall be, that,
when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave offering unto the
Lord. Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for a heave offering : as
ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it. Of the first
of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord a heave offering in your generations. �
And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord hath
spoken unto Moses, even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses,
from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations
; then it shall be, if aught be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the
congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt
offering, for a sweet savor unto the Lord, with his meat offering, and his drink
offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. And
the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of
Israel, and it shall be forgiven them ; for it is ignorance : and they shall bring
their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering
before the Lord, for their ignorance : "
31221 "And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this ? say ye that the Lord hath need
of him ; and straightway he will send him hither. And they went their way, and
found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met ; and they
loose him. And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing
the colt ? And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded : and they let them
go. And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him ; and he sat
upon him. And many spread their garments in the way ; and others cut down branches
off the trees, and strewed them in the way. And they that went before, and they
that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna ; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of
the Lord : Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of
the Lord : Hosanna in the highest. � And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the
temple : and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide
was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. "
3269 "And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the
herd, whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the
Lord. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation : and Aaron�s sons the priests shall
sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. And he shall offer of the sacrifice
of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord ; the fat that
covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, and the two
kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above
the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. And Aaron�s sons shall burn it
on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire :
it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord. � And if his
offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the Lord be of the flock, male or
female, he shall offer it without blemish. If he offer a lamb for his offering,
then shall he offer it before the Lord. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of
his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation : and Aaron�s
sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar. And he shall
offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the Lord
; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone ;
and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the
caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. And the priest shall
burn it upon the altar : it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the Lord.
"
29741 "And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them
out ? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit
of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else, how can one enter into a
strong man�s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man ? and
then he will spoil his house. He that is not with me is against me ; and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of
sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men : but the blasphemy against the Holy
Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son
of man, it shall be forgiven him : but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
� Either make the tree good, and his fruit good ; or else make the tree corrupt,
and his fruit corrupt : for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of
vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things ? for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good things : and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth
forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt
be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. "
38872 "and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we desired of him. If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not
unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto
death. There is a sin unto death : I do not say that he shall pray for it. All
unrighteousness is sin : and there is a sin not unto death. � We know that
whosoever is born of God sinneth not ; but he that is begotten of God keepeth
himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. � And we know that we are of God,
and the whole world lieth in wickedness. � And we know that the Son of God is come,
and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true ; and we are
in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and
eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. "
4692 "And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then
ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets ; and ye shall be remembered before the
Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. Also in the day of your
gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall
blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your
peace offerings ; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God : I am the
Lord your God. "
39074 "And immediately I was in the Spirit : and, behold, a throne was set in
heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper
and a sardine stone : and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like
unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats : and upon
the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment ; and they
had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and
thunderings and voices : and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the
throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea
of glass like unto crystal. � And in the midst of the throne, and round about the
throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was
like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a
man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of
them six wings about him ; and they were full of eyes within : and they rest not
day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and
is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat
on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down
before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever,
and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to
receive glory and honor and power : for thou hast created all things, and for thy
pleasure they are and were created. "
34720 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the
glory : and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. � But the word of God
grew and multiplied. � And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had
fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
17100 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job : and
their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. After this lived Job a
hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons� sons, even four
generations. So Job died, being old and full of days.
22126 "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat
our own bread, and wear our own apparel ; only let us be called by thy name, to
take away our reproach. "
22348 "And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee : though thou
wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. � Behold,
God is my salvation ; I will trust, and not be afraid : for the Lord Jehovah is my
strength and my song ; he also is become my salvation. � Therefore with joy shall
ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise
the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention
that his name is exalted. Sing unto the Lord ; for he hath done excellent things :
this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion : for
great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. "
15387 "and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate,
and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. And all the congregation of them that
were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under 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. 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
manner. "
5426 "And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast : seven days shall
unleavened bread be eaten. In the first day shall be a holy convocation ; ye shall
do no manner of servile work therein : but ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire
for a burnt offering unto the Lord ; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven
lambs of the first year : they shall be unto you without blemish. And their meat
offering shall be of flour mingled with oil : three tenth deals shall ye offer for
a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram ; a several tenth deal shalt thou offer
for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs : and one goat for a sin offering, to
make an atonement for you. Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the
morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. After this manner ye shall offer
daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savor unto the Lord : it shall be offered beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering. And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy
convocation ; ye shall do no servile work. � Also in the day of the firstfruits,
when ye bring a new meat offering unto the Lord, after your weeks be out, ye shall
have a holy convocation ; ye shall do no servile work : but ye shall offer the
burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the Lord ; two young bullocks, one ram, seven
lambs of the first year ; and their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram, a several tenth deal
unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs ; and one kid of the goats, to make an
atonement for you. Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his
meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish,) and their drink offerings.
"
29893 "And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the
sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying,
It is a spirit ; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto
them, saying, Be of good cheer ; it is I ; be not afraid. � And Peter answered him
and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said,
Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go
to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid ; and beginning to
sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his
hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst
thou doubt ? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that
were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of
God. "
29963 "And in the morning, It will be foul weather today : for the sky is red and
lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky ; but can ye not
discern the signs of the times ? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a
sign ; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.
And he left them, and departed. "
27343 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed
dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. Then the
king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and
the Chaldeans, for to show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the
king. And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was
troubled to know the dream. Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriac, O king,
live for ever : tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me : if ye will
not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut
in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. But if ye show the dream, and
the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great
honor : therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation thereof. They answered
again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the
interpretation of it. The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would
gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. But if ye will not make
known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you : for ye have prepared
lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed : therefore
tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth
that can show the king�s matter : therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that
asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
5441 "And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a
holy convocation ; ye shall do no servile work : it is a day of blowing the
trumpets unto you. And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savor unto the
Lord ; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without
blemish : and their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth
deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, and one tenth deal for one
lamb, throughout the seven lambs : and one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to
make an atonement for you : beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat
offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink
offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savor, a sacrifice made by fire
unto the Lord. � And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month a holy
convocation ; and ye shall afflict your souls : ye shall not do any work therein :
but ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord for a sweet savor ; one young
bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year ; they shall be unto you
without blemish. And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three
tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, a several tenth deal for
one lamb, throughout the seven lambs : one kid of the goats for a sin offering ;
beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the
meat offering of it, and their drink offerings. � And on the fifteenth day of the
seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation ; ye shall do no servile work, and
ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days : and ye shall offer a burnt
offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord ; thirteen young
bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year ; they shall be without
blemish : "
14341 "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. And they went about in Judah, and gathered the
Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and
they came to Jerusalem. 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 said of the sons of David. This is the thing that ye shall do ; A third
part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be
porters of the doors ; 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. But let none come into the house of the Lord, save the
priests, and they that minister of the Levites ; they shall go in, for they are
holy : but all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord. And the Levites shall
compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand ; and
whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death : but be ye with the
king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out. � So the Levites and all Judah did
according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man
his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the
sabbath : for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses. "
34391 "And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there
arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were
neglected in the daily ministration. Then the twelve called the multitude of the
disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of
God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of
honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this
business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of
the word. And the saying pleased the whole multitude : and they chose Stephen, a
man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor,
and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch ; whom they set before
the apostles : and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. � And the
word of God increased ; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem
greatly ; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. "
32199 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as
are set before you : and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they
receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, Even the
very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you :
notwithstanding, be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for
that city.
643 "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. "
784 "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. Arise, go to Padan-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. And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee
fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people ; and give
thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee ; that thou mayest
inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. And
Isaac sent away Jacob : and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the
Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob�s and Esau�s mother. � When Esau saw that
Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-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 ; and that Jacob obeyed his father and his
mother, and was gone to Padan-aram ; and Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan
pleased not Isaac his father ; "
5276 "And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with
the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods
: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined himself
unto Baal-peor : and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel. And the Lord
said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord
against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel.
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were
joined unto Baal-peor. � 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, who were weeping before
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And when Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the
congregation, and took a javelin in his hand ; and he went after the man of Israel
into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman
through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. And those
that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. � And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath
turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake
among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Wherefore
say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace : "
1160 "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. And he said to
him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the
flocks ; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he
came to Shechem. And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the
field : and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou ? And he said, I seek my
brethren : tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 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. And when they saw him afar off,
even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. And
they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let
us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath
devoured him ; and we shall see what will become of his dreams. And Reuben heard
it, and he delivered him out of their hands ; and said, Let us not kill him. And
Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the
wilderness, and lay no hand upon him ; that he might rid him out of their hands, to
deliver him to his father again. And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his
brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that
was on him ; and they took him, and cast him into a pit : and the pit was empty,
there was no water in it. � And they sat down to eat bread : and they lifted up
their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with
their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and
conceal his blood ? "
2183 And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians : and
the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses.
1504 "And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and
offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. And God spake unto Israel in
the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. 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. 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.
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. 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
: "
11443 "And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to
Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab ; and I will send rain
upon the earth. And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore
famine in Samaria. And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house.
(Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly : for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the
prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty
in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into
the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks : peradventure we may
find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. So
they divided the land between them to pass throughout it : Ahab went one way by
himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. � And as Obadiah was in the way,
behold, Elijah met him : and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou
that my lord Elijah ? And he answered him, I am : go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah
is here. "
5292 "And it came to pass after the plague, that the Lord spake unto Moses and
unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, Take the sum of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward,
throughout their fathers� house, all that are able to go to war in Israel. And
Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying, Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward ; as
the Lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the
land of Egypt. � Reuben, the eldest son of Israel : the children of Reuben ;
Hanoch, of whom cometh the family of the Hanochites : of Pallu, the family of the
Palluites : of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites : of Carmi, the family of the
Carmites. "
511 "And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said
unto him, Abraham : and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son,
thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, 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. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took
two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt
offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. Then on
the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham
said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass ; and I and the lad will go
yonder and worship, and come again to you. "
11584 "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. 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. And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me, that I should give
the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. "
1577 "And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy
father is sick : and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. And one
told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee : and Israel
strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. And Jacob said unto Joseph, God
Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, and said
unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of
thee a multitude of people ; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an
everlasting possession. And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were
born unto thee in the land of Egypt, before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine ;
as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. "
1253 "And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt
and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was wroth
against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the
chief of the bakers. And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the
guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. And the captain of the
guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them : and they continued a season in
ward. 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. And Joseph came in unto them in the
morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. And he asked Pharaoh�s
officers that were with him in the ward of his lord�s house, saying, Wherefore look
ye so sadly today ? And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is
no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to
God ? tell me them, I pray you. � And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph,
and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me ; and in the vine were
three branches : and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth ; and
the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes : 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. And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it : The
three branches are three days : "
10244 "And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and
horses, and fifty men to run before him. And Absalom rose up early, and stood
beside the way of the gate : and it was so, that when any man that had a
controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said,
Of what city art thou ? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right ; but there is no
man deputed of the king to hear thee. 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 ! And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to
do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 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. � And it came to pass after 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. For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at
Geshur in Syria, saying, If the Lord shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then
I will serve the Lord. And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and
went to Hebron. But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying,
As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in
Hebron. And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called ;
and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing. "
10148 "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. And Amnon was
so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar ; for she was a virgin ; and Amnon
thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. But Amnon had a friend, whose name
was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David�s brother : and Jonadab was a very subtile
man. And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king�s son, lean from day to day
? wilt thou not tell me ? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother
Absalom�s sister. And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make
thyself sick : and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, "
9781 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. So David went up
thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal�s wife
the Carmelite. And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with
his household : and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. And the men of Judah came,
and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah.
10050 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died,
and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. Then said David, I will show kindness unto
Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. And David sent to
comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David�s servants came
into the land of the children of Ammon. And the princes of the children of Ammon
said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he
hath sent comforters unto thee ? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee,
to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it ? Wherefore 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. When they told
it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed : and the
king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return. � And when
the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent
and hired the Syrians of Beth
9515 "And it came to pass afterward, that David�s heart smote him, because he had
cut off Saul�s skirt. And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid that I should do
this thing unto my master, the Lord�s anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against
him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord. So David stayed his servants with these
words and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave,
and went on his way. � 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
stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself. And David said to Saul,
Wherefore hearest thou men�s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt ?
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the Lord hath 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. 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 ; yet thou huntest my soul to take it. The Lord judge between
me and thee, and the Lord avenge me of thee : but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked : but
mine hand shall not be upon thee. After whom is the king of Israel come out ? after
whom dost thou pursue ? after a dead dog, after a flea. The Lord therefore be
judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me
out of thine hand. � 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. And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I
: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil. "
32019 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and
village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God : and the
twelve were with him, and certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and
infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna the
wife of Chuza Herod�s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto
him of their substance.
1178 "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. And Judah saw there a
daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah ; and he took her, and went
in unto her. And she conceived, and bare a son ; and he called his name Er. "
13929 "And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built
the house of the Lord, and his own house, that the cities which Huram had restored
to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. �
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it. And he built Tadmor in
the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. Also he built
Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates,
and bars ; and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the
chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to
build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion. 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, but of
their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel
consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day. "
1270 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed : and,
behold, he stood by the river.
34785 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the
synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and
also of the Greeks believed. But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and
made their minds evil affected against the brethren. Long time therefore abode they
speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and
granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. But the multitude of the city
was divided : and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. And when
there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their
rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, they were ware of it, and fled
unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round
about : and there they preached the gospel.
22200 "And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of
Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah,
king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail
against it. 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
wood are moved with the wind. � Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to
meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub [the remnant shall return] thy son, at the end of
the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller�s field ; and say unto
him, Take heed, and be quiet ; fear not, neither be faint-hearted for the two tails
of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the
son of Remaliah. Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil
counsel against thee, saying, Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us
make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of
Tabeal : thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to
pass. For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin ; and
within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
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. � Moreover the Lord spake
again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God ; ask it either in the
depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt
the Lord. "
248 "And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of
Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations ; that these made war
with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah,
and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar. All these were
joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. Twelve years they
served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 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, and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the
wilderness. And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote
all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon-
tamar. And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king
of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, (the same is Zoar ;) and
they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim ; with Chedorlaomer the king of
Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king
of Ellasar ; four kings with five. "
26514 "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, Son of man, because that Tyrus hath
said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people ; she
is turned unto me ; I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste : therefore thus
saith the Lord God ; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many
nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. And they
shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers : I will also scrape
her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. "
26667 "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, Son of man, speak
unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude ; Whom art thou like in thy
greatness ? Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and
with a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature ; and his top was among the thick
boughs. "
10878 "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 Zif, which is the second month, that he
began to build the house of the Lord. 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. 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. And for the house
he made windows of narrow lights. And against the wall of the house he built
chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the
temple and of the oracle : and he made chambers round about. The nethermost chamber
was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven
cubits broad : for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round
about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house. � And the
house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought
thither : so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in
the house, while it was in building. � The door for the middle chamber was in the
right side of the house : and they went up with winding stairs into the middle
chamber, and out of the middle into the third. So he built the house, and finished
it ; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar. And then he built
chambers against all the house, five cubits high : and they rested on the house
with timber of cedar. � And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying, "
24921 "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, Take thee a roll
of a book, and write therein 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. 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. �
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. And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up ; I cannot go into the
house of the Lord : 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 fasting day : and also thou shalt read them in the ears of
all Judah that come out of their cities. 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.
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. � And
it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in
the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in
Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
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 "
28969 "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 Chisleu ;
when they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men,
to pray before the Lord, and to speak unto the priests which were in the house of
the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month,
separating myself, as I have done these so many years ? Then came the word of the
Lord of hosts unto me, saying, Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the
priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even
those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me ? And when ye did eat,
and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves ?
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,
when men inhabited the south and the plain ? "
15159 "And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes
the king, that wine was before him : and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the
king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence. Wherefore 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, and 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 ? Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request ? So I
prayed to the God of heaven. And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and
if thy servant have found favor in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto
Judah, unto the city of my fathers� sepulchres, that I may build it. 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. "
12633 "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 host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it ; and they built forts against
it round about. And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and
there was no bread for the people of the land. And the city was broken up, and all
the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by
the king�s garden : (now the Chaldees were against the city round about :) and the
king went the way toward the plain. And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the
king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho : and all his army were scattered
from him. So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to
Riblah ; and they gave judgment upon him. "
26255 "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. Then came the word of the Lord unto me, saying, 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.
Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them ? cause them to know the
abominations of their fathers : 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 ; "
25885 And it came to pass 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.
26695 "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, Son of man, take
up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young
lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas : and thou camest forth
with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their
rivers. Thus saith the Lord God ; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with
a company of many people ; and they shall bring thee up in my net. Then will I
leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will
cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts
of the whole earth with thee. "
9641 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies
together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou
assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men. And David
said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to
David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.
31646 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar
Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when
Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own
city.
8471 And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that
there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him
a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah. And his concubine played the whore against
him, and went away from him unto her father�s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was
there four whole months.
4538 "And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle,
and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the
altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them ;
that the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the
princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered : and they
brought their offering before the Lord, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen ; a
wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox : and they brought them before
the tabernacle. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take it of them, that they
may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation ; and thou shalt
give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service. And Moses took
the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. "
3481 "And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons,
and the elders of Israel ; and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin
offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before
the Lord. And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid
of the goats for a sin offering ; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year,
without blemish, for a burnt offering ; also a bullock and a ram for peace
offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord ; and a meat offering mingled with oil :
for today the Lord will appear unto you. And they brought that which Moses
commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation : and all the congregation drew
near and stood before the Lord. 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. And
Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt
offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people : and offer the
offering of the people, and make an atonement for them ; as the Lord commanded. �
Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which
was for himself. And the sons of Aaron brought 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 bottom of the altar : but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above
the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar ; as the Lord commanded
Moses. And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp. "
31885 "And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went
through the corn fields ; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat,
rubbing them in their hands. And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye
that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days ? And Jesus answering them said,
Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was ahungered, and
they which were with him ; how he went into the house of God, and did take and eat
the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him ; which it is not lawful to
eat but for the priests alone ? And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord
also of the sabbath. "
24631 And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah
king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of
Azur the prophet, 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, Thus speaketh the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
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 : and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into

Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in
age. And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads,
and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and
stricken in age : and ye have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto all
these nations because of you ; for the Lord your God is he that hath fought for
you. Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an
inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off,
even unto the great sea westward. And the Lord your God, he shall expel them from
before you, and drive them from out of your sight ; and ye shall possess their
land, as the Lord your God hath promised unto you. Be ye therefore very courageous
to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn
not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left ; that ye come not among these
nations, these that remain among you ; neither make mention of the name of their
gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto
them : but cleave unto the Lord your God, as ye have done unto this day. For the
Lord hath driven out from before you great nations and strong : but as for you, no
man hath been able to stand before you unto this day. One man of you shall chase a
thousand : for the Lord your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath
promised you. Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the Lord your
God. "
10078 "And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go
forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel ;
and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried
still at Jerusalem. � And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from
off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king�s house : and from the roof he
saw a woman washing herself ; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. 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 ? 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. And the woman conceived,
and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. � And David sent to Joab,
saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. And when Uriah was
come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how
the war prospered. And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy
feet. And Uriah departed out of the king�s house, and there followed him a mess of
meat from the king. 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. "
32465 "And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees
to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. And, behold, there was a
certain man before him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the
lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day ? And they
held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go ; and answered
them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will
not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day ? And they could not answer him
again to these things. "
13409 "And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings
go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of
the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at
Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it. 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 also
exceeding much spoil out of the city. And he brought out the people that were in
it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt
David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people
returned to Jerusalem. "
35099 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched,
we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and

aboard, and set forth.
32754 "And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in
the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon
him with the elders, and spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest
thou these things ? or who is he that gave thee this authority ? And he answered
and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing ; and answer me : The baptism of
John, was it from heaven, or of men ? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If
we shall say, From heaven ; he will say, Why then believed ye him not ? But and if
we say, Of men ; all the people will stone us : for they be persuaded that John was
a prophet. And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. "

then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the
money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the
first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said unto him, Well,
thou good servant : because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou
authority over ten cities. And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained
five pounds. And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. And
another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in
a napkin : 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. And he saith unto him,
Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I
was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not
sow : wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I
might have required mine own with usury ? And he said unto them that stood by, Take
from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto
him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath
shall be given ; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away
from him. But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them,
bring hither, and slay them before me. "

day of my death : now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy
bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison ; and make me savory meat,
such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat ; that my soul may bless thee
before I die. � And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went
to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her
son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, "
24947 "And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut
it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all
the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. Yet they were not afraid,
nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all
these words. Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession
to the king that he would not burn the roll ; but he would not hear them. But the
king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and
Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet :
but the Lord hid them. � 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, 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.
And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, 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 ? Therefore thus saith the Lord of 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. 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. � 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 "
25132 "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, for which the Lord their God had
sent him to them, even all these words, 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, Go not into Egypt to
sojourn there : but Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to
deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and
carry us away captives into Babylon. 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. But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of
the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations,
whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah ; even men, and women,
and children, and the king�s daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan 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. So they came into the land
of Egypt : for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord : thus came they even to
Tahpanhes. � Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which
is at the entry of Pharaoh�s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah ;
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, "
30088 "And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed
from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan ; and great
multitudes followed him ; and he healed them there. � The Pharisees also came unto
him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife
for every cause ? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he
which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this
cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife : and they
twain shall be one flesh ? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why
did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away ? He
saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put
away your wives : but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry
another, committeth adultery : and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
adultery. "
32251 "And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he
ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also
taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which
art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins ;
for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into
temptation ; but deliver us from evil. � And he said unto them, Which of you shall
have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me
three loaves ; for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have
nothing to set before him ? 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. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his
friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he
needeth. 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. For every one that asketh
receiveth ; and he that seeketh findeth ; and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a
stone ? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent ? "
31823 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of
God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake :
but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
35004 "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed
through the upper coasts came to Ephesus ; and finding certain disciples, he said
unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed ? And they said unto
him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto
them, Unto what then were ye baptized ? And they said, Unto John�s baptism. Then
said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the
people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on
Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them ;
and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. "
8994 "And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he
prophesied among 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 ? And one of
the same place answered and said, But who is their father ? Therefore it became a
proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets ? And when he had made an end of
prophesying, he came to the high place. � 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 no where, we came to Samuel. And Saul�s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee,
what Samuel said unto you. And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that
the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he
told him not. � And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh ; and
said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up
Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of
the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you : and ye have this day
rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your
tribulations ; 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.
� And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of
Benjamin was taken. When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their
families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken : and
when they sought him, he could not be found. Therefore they inquired of the Lord
further, if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord answered, Behold, he hath
hid himself among the stuff. "
7109 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the
side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the
sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children
of Israel, until we were passed
7257 "And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in
the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against
Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite,
and the Jebusite, heard thereof ; that they gathered themselves together, to fight
with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord. � And when the inhabitants of Gibeon
heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, they did work wilily, and went
and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and
wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up ; and old shoes and clouted upon their
feet, and old garments upon them ; and all the bread of their provision was dry and
mouldy. And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to
the men of Israel, We be come from a far country : now therefore make ye a league
with us. And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among
us ; and how shall we make a league with you ? And they said unto Joshua, We are
thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye ? and from whence come ye ? 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, 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.
"
7083 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that
the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, Take you twelve men out of the people, out of
every tribe a man, 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 ye
shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall
lodge this night.
9684 "And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third
day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and
burned it with fire ; "
9302 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. And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father�s
house. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own
soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to
David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. And
David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely : and Saul
set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people,
and also in the sight of Saul�s servants.
8844 "And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell
from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died
: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. � 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 travailed ; for her pains came upon
her. And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her,
Fear not ; for thou hast borne a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard
it. And she named the child Ichabod [there is no glory], saying, The glory is
departed from Israel : because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-
in-law and her husband. And she said, The glory is departed from Israel : for the
ark of God is taken. "
213 "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 :
therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall
say, This is his wife : and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. Say,
I pray thee, thou art my sister : that it may be well with me for thy sake ; and my
soul shall live because of thee. And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come
into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. The princes also
of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh : and the woman was taken into
Pharaoh�s house. 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. �
And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai,
Abram�s wife. 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 ? Why saidst thou, She
is my sister ? so I might have taken her to me to wife : now therefore behold thy
wife, take her, and go thy way. And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him : and
they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. "
32736 "And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying, Go ye into
the village over against you ; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt
tied, whereon yet never man sat : loose him, and bring him hither. And if any man
ask you, Why do ye loose him ? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath
need of him. And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said
unto them. And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them,
Why loose ye the colt ? And they said, The Lord hath need of him. And they brought
him to Jesus : and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus
thereon. And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. And when he was come
nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the
disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty
works that they had seen ; saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of
the Lord : peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees
from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he
answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the
stones would immediately cry out. � And when he was come near, he beheld the city,
and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day,
the things which belong unto thy peace ! but now they are hid from thine eyes. "
7342 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he
sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of
Achshaph, and to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the
plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the
west, and to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the
Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite
under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh. And they went out, they and all their hosts
with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the seashore in multitude,
with horses and chariots very many. And when all these kings were met together,
they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. �
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them : for tomorrow about
this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel : thou shalt hough their
horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
13998 "And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt,
whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam
returned out of Egypt. And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel
came and spake to Rehoboam, saying, Thy father made our yoke grievous : now
therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy
yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. And he said unto them, Come again
unto me after three days. And the people departed. � 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 ? And they spake
unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good
words to them, they will be thy servants for ever. But he forsook the counsel which
the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with
him, that stood before him. And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may
return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the
yoke that thy father did put upon us ? And the young men that were brought up with
him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee,
saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us ;
thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father�s
loins. For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your
yoke : my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
� So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king
bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day. And the king answered them roughly
; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, "
30450 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto
his disciples, Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the
Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. � Then assembled together the chief
priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high
priest, who was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they might take Jesus by
subtilty, and kill him. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an
uproar among the people.
29663 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve
disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
12408 "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. And he
sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders
of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. And
they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of
rebuke, and blasphemy : for the children are come to the birth, and there is not
strength to bring forth. It may be the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rab-
shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God ;
and will reprove the words which the Lord thy God hath heard : wherefore lift up
thy prayer for the remnant that are left. So the servants of king Hezekiah came to
Isaiah. And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the
Lord, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of
the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and
he shall hear a rumor, and shall return to his own land ; and I will cause him to
fall by the sword in his own land. � So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of
Assyria warring against Libnah : for he had heard that he was departed from
Lachish. 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, Thus shall
ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest
deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of
Assyria. "
22964 "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. 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. And

Assyria warring against Libnah : for he had heard that he was departed from
Lachish. And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to
make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, "
35 "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth,
and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair ; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the
Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh :
yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. There were giants 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 became mighty men which were of
old, men of renown. � And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created
from the face of the earth ; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the
fowls of the air ; for it repenteth me that I have made them. "
14044 "And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had
strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. And
it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt
came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord, 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. And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to
Jerusalem. Then came Shemaiah the prophet 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, and therefore have I also left you in the
hand of Shishak. Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves ;
and they said, The Lord is righteous. And when the Lord saw that they humbled
themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled
themselves ; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some
deliverance ; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of
Shishak. "
8913 "And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over
Israel. Now the name of his firstborn was Joel ; and the name of his second,
Abiah : they were judges in Beer-sheba. And his sons walked not in his ways, but
turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. � Then all the
elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, "
9503 "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 Engedi. 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. And he came to the sheepcotes by the way,
where was a cave ; and Saul went in to cover his feet : and David and his men
remained in the sides of the cave. 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, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose,
and cut off the skirt of Saul�s robe privily. "
11057 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, that the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him
at Gibeon.
11663 "And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was
not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. And a certain man
drew a 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 wounded. 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 midst of the chariot. And there went a
proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man
to his city, and every man to his own country. � So the king died, and was brought
to Samaria ; and they buried the king in Samaria. And one washed the chariot in the
pool of Samaria ; and the dogs licked up his blood ; and they washed his armor ;
according unto the word of the Lord which he spake. Now the rest of the acts of
Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities
that he built, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of
Israel ? So Ahab slept with his fathers ; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
"
9231 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David
took a harp, and played with his hand : so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and
the evil spirit departed from him.
7228 "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 a time appointed, before the plain ; but he wist not that there were
liers in ambush against him behind the city. And Joshua and all Israel made as if
they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness. And all the
people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them : and they pursued
after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city. 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. � And the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that
is in thy hand toward Ai ; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched
out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city. And the ambush arose quickly
out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand : and
they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire. 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. 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. And the other issued
out of the city against them ; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this
side, and some on that side : and they smote them, so that they let none of them
remain or escape. And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua. �
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 chased them, and when they were all
fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites
returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. "
9971 "And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given
him rest round about from all his enemies ; that the king said unto Nathan the
prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within
curtains. And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart ; for the
Lord is with thee. � And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came
unto Nathan, saying, Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou
build me a house for me to dwell in ? Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since
the time 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. In all the 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 build ye not me a
house of cedar ? Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith
the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be
ruler over my people, over Israel : and I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest,
and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great
name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth. Moreover I will
appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a
place of their own, and move no more ; neither shall the children of wickedness
afflict them any more, as beforetime, "
12052 "And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king�s
sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them
to Jezreel. 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. 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 slew all these ? 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. So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and
all his great men, and his kinsfolk, and his priests, until he left him none
remaining. � And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the
shearing house in the way, 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. 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. � 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. And he said, Come with
me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot. And when he
came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had
destroyed him, according to the saying of the Lord, which he spake to Elijah. "
11715 "And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a
whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. And Elijah said unto Elisha,
Tarry here, I pray thee ; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el. And Elisha said
unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So
they went down to Beth-el. 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. �
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. And the sons of the prophets that were at
Jericho came 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. � And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here ; 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. And fifty men of the sons of the
prophets went, and stood to view afar off : and they two stood by Jordan. And
Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they
were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. � 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 away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee,
let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. "
1395 "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. 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. If thou wilt send our
brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food : 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. And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to
tell the man whether ye had yet a brother ? And they said, The man asked us
straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive ? have
ye another brother ? and we told him according to the tenor of these words : Could
we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down ? 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. 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 : for except we had lingered,
surely now we had returned this second time. � And their father Israel said unto
them, If it must be so now, do this ; take of the best fruits in the land in your
vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey,
spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds : and take double money in your hand ; and the
money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your
hand ; peradventure it was an oversight. Take also your brother, and arise, go
again unto the man : and God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may
send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am
bereaved. "
27355 "And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that
can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. �
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all
the wise men of Babylon. And the decree went forth that the wise men should be
slain ; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. Then Daniel answered
with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king�s guard, which was gone
forth to slay the wise men of Babylon : he answered and said to Arioch the king�s
captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king ? Then Arioch made the thing
known to Daniel. Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give
him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation. � Then Daniel went to
his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his
companions : that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this
secret ; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise
men of Babylon. Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then
Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of
God for ever and ever : for wisdom and might are his : 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 : he revealeth the deep and
secret things : he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with
him. I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me
wisdom and might, "
16913 "and it is turned round about by his counsels : that they may do whatsoever
he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. He causeth it to come,
whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. Hearken unto this, O Job :
stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. Dost thou know when God
disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine ? Dost thou know the
balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge ?
how thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind ? Hast thou
with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking-glass ? Teach
us what we shall say unto him ; for we cannot order our speech by reason of
darkness. Shall it be told him that I speak ? If a man speak, surely he shall be
swallowed up. And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds : but the
wind passeth, and cleanseth them. Fair weather cometh out of the north : with God
is terrible majesty. Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out : he is
excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice : he will not
afflict. Men do therefore fear him : he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
"
36483 "And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring
me on my journey whithersoever I go. For I will not see you now by the way ; but I
trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. But I will tarry at Ephesus
until Pentecost. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are
many adversaries. � Now if Timothy come, see that he may be with you without
fear : for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do. Let no man therefore
despise him : but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me : for I look
for him with the brethren. � As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him
to come unto you with the brethren : but his will was not at all to come at this
time ; but he will come when he shall have convenient time. "
4906 "and it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and
the stranger that sojourneth among them ; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
� And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the
first year for a sin offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul
that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an
atonement for him ; and it shall be forgiven him. Ye shall have one law for him
that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of
Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. But the soul that doeth
aught presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same
reproacheth the Lord ; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
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. "
26636 "And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which
bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them : but they
shall know that I am the Lord God. � 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, Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to
serve a great service against Tyrus : every head was made bald, and every shoulder
was peeled : yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he
had served against it : therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I will give the
land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ; and he shall take her
multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey ; and it shall be the wages for
his army. I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor wherewith he served
against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord God. � In that day will I
cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the
opening of the mouth in the midst of them ; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
"
3338 "And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he
shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing : and he shall bring his trespass
offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a
lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering ; and the priest shall make an
atonement for him concerning his sin. � And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then
he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons, unto the Lord ; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering. And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is
for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not
divide it asunder : and he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the
side of the altar ; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of
the altar : it is a sin offering. And he shall offer the second for a burnt
offering, according to the manner : and the priest shall make an atonement for him
for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. � But if he be not
able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall
bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin
offering ; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense
thereon : for it is a sin offering. Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the
priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the
altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord : it is a sin
offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that
he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him : and the remnant
shall be the priest�s, as a meat offering. "
6648 "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 ; that thou
shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of
thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt
go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there. And
thou shalt go 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 country which the
Lord sware unto our fathers for to give us. And the priest shall take the basket
out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God. � And thou
shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father
; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a
nation, great, mighty, and populous : and the Egyptians evil entreated us, and
afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage : and when we cried unto the Lord God
of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our
labor, and our oppression : 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 : and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us
this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. "
6704 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of
the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee
this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the
earth : and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou
shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the
city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 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 flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou
goest out.
11527 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall
Jehu slay : and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Yet I
have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto
Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
6816 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
10396 "And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. And
the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people : for the people
heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son. And the people gat them by
stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee
in battle. But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O
my son Absalom ! O Absalom, my son, my son ! 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 ; in that thou lovest thine
enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou
regardest neither princes nor servants : for this day I perceive, that if Absalom
had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well. 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 one with thee this night : and
that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth
until now. 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 : for Israel had fled every man to his tent. � And all the people
were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out
of the hand of our enemies, "
7038 "And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in
hither tonight of the children of Israel to search out the country. 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 country. And
the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me,
but I wist not whence they were : and it came to pass about the time of 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. But she had brought them
up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had
laid in order upon the roof. 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. � And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof ;
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 faint
because of you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea
for you, when ye came out of Egypt ; and what ye did unto the two kings of the
Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly
destroyed. And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither
did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you : for the Lord your
God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. Now therefore, I pray you,
swear unto me by the Lord, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show
kindness unto my father�s house, and give me a true token : and that ye will save
alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they
have, and deliver our lives from death. "
7518 "and it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to
Jericho, and went out at Jordan. The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the
river Kanah ; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance
of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families. And the separate cities
for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh,
all the cities with their villages. And they drave not out the Canaanites that
dwelt in Gezer : but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and
serve under tribute. "
1606 "And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I
may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves
together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob ; and hearken unto Israel your father. Reuben,
thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency
of dignity, and the excellency of power : unstable as water, thou shalt not excel ;
because thou wentest up to thy father�s bed ; then defiledst thou it : he went up
to my couch. Simeon and Levi are brethren ; instruments of cruelty are in their
habitations. O my soul, come not thou into their secret ; unto their assembly, mine
honor, be not thou united : "
1147 "And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land
of Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. � Joseph, being seventeen years old,
was feeding the flock with his brethren ; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah,
and with the sons of Zilpah, his father�s wives : and Joseph brought unto his
father their evil report. 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 colors. And
when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they
hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. � And Joseph dreamed a dream,
and he told it his brethren : and they hated him yet the more. And he said unto
them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed : for, behold, we were
binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright ;
and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 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. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said,
Behold, I have dreamed a dream more ; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the
eleven stars made obeisance to me. 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 ? And his brethren envied him ; but his father
observed the saying. � And his brethren went to feed their father�s flock in
Shechem. "
1037 "And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter : now his sons were
with his cattle in the field : and Jacob held his peace until they were come. And
Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. And the sons
of Jacob came out of 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. � And Hamor communed with them,
saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter : I pray you give her
him to wife. And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and
take our daughters unto you. And ye shall dwell with us : and the land shall be
before you ; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. 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. 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. �
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said,
because he had defiled Dinah their sister : and they said unto them, We cannot do
this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised ; for that were a
reproach unto us : but in this will we consent unto you : If ye will be as we be,
that every male of you be circumcised ; 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. But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised ; then
will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. � And their words pleased Hamor and
Shechem Hamor�s son. And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had
delight in Jacob�s daughter : and he was more honorable than all the house of his
father. "
1007 "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. And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and
Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. And he passed over
before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his
brother. � And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and
kissed him : and they wept. And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the
children, and said, Who are those with thee ? And he said, The children which God
hath graciously given thy servant. Then the handmaidens came near, they and their
children, and they bowed themselves. And Leah also with her children came near, and
bowed themselves : and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed
themselves. And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met ? And he
said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. And Esau said, I have
enough, my brother ; keep that thou hast unto thyself. And Jacob said, Nay, I pray
thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand :
for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou
wast pleased with me. Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee ;
because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged
him, and he took it. � And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I
will go before thee. "
756 "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. And he discerned him
not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau�s hands : so he blessed him.
And he said, Art thou my very son Esau ? And he said, I am. 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. And
his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 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 : therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the
earth, and plenty of corn and wine : let people serve thee, and nations bow down to
thee : be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother�s sons bow down to thee :
cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. � 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. And he also had made savory meat, and brought it unto his
father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son�s
venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art
thou ? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau. And Isaac trembled very
exceedingly, and said, Who ? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it
me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him ? yea, and he
shall be blessed. "
966 "And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. And when Jacob saw
them, he said, This is God�s host : and he called the name of that place Mahanaim
[two hosts or camps]. � And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother
unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. And he commanded them, saying, Thus
shall ye speak unto my lord Esau ; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned
with Laban, and stayed there until now : and I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and
menservants, and womenservants : and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find
grace in thy sight. � And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy
brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. Then
Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed : and he divided the people that was with
him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands ; and said, If Esau
come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall
escape. � And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac,
the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I
will deal well with thee : "
14155 "And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself
against Israel. 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. And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways
of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim ; but sought to the Lord God of his
father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdom in his hand ; and all Judah brought to
Jehoshaphat presents ; and he had riches and honor in abundance. And his heart was
lifted up in the ways of the Lord : moreover he took away the high places and
groves out of Judah. "
11678 "And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. � Now the rest of the
acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not
written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? And the remnant of
the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the
land. � There was then no king in Edom : a deputy was king. Jehoshaphat made ships
of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold : but they went not ; for the ships were
broken at Ezion-geber. Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my
servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not. 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. "
14227 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to
Jerusalem. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to
king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord
? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord. Nevertheless, there are good
things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and
hast prepared thine heart to seek God.
12021 "And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his
arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. 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 ; 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. "
30238 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, The
kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding : and they
would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are
bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner : my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and
all things are ready : come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went
their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise : and the remnant took his
servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard
thereof, he was wroth : and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those
murderers, and burned up their city.
32414 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were
sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things ? I tell you,
Nay : but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon
whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above
all men that dwelt in Jerusalem ? I tell you, Nay : but, except ye repent, ye shall
all likewise perish.
31770 "And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by
the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those
days he did eat nothing : and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the
devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made
bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil, taking him up into a high
mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And
the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them :
for that is delivered unto me ; and to whomsoever I will, I give it. If thou
therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto
him, Get thee behind me, Satan : for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and him only shalt thou serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him
on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down from hence : for it is written, He shall give his angels charge over
thee, to keep thee : and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time
thou dash thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said,
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the
temptation, he departed from him for a season. "
32704 "And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man
named Zaccheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he
sought to see Jesus who he was ; and could not for the press, because he was little
of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him ; for
he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw
him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down ; for today I must
abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with
a man that is a sinner. And Zaccheus stood, and said unto the Lord ; Behold, Lord,
the half of my goods I give to the poor ; and if I have taken any thing from any
man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day
is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the
Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. "
31173 "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good ? there is none good but
one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and
mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from
my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou
lackest : go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he
was sad at that saying, and went away grieved : for he had great possessions. � And
Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that
have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! And the disciples were astonished 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 ! It is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of God. And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves,
Who then can be saved ? And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is
impossible, but not with God : for with God all things are possible. Then Peter
began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus
answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my
sake, and the gospel�s, 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. But many that are first shall
be last ; and the last first. "
32768 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
things.
30338 "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple : and his disciples came to
him for to show him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus 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. � And as he sat upon 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 ?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many
shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall
hear of wars and rumors of wars : see that ye be not troubled : for all these
things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom : and there shall be famines, and pestilences,
and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. � Then
shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you : and ye shall be
hated of all nations for my name�s sake. "
33333 "And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And
the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes,
and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy
bread, that these may eat ? And this he said to prove him : for he himself knew
what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not
sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter�s brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here,
which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes : but what are they among so
many ? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the
place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the
loaves ; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to them that were set down ; and likewise of the fishes as much as they
would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments
that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and
filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained
over and above unto them that had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the
miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that Prophet that should come into
the world. � When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by
force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. "
7503 "and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah ; ten cities
with their villages. � Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor, and Maarath, and Beth-anoth,
and Eltekon ; six cities with their villages. � Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-
jearim, and Rabbah ; two cities with their villages. � In the wilderness, Beth-
arabah, Middin, and Secacah, and Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi ; six
cities with their villages. � As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the children of Judah could not drive them out : but the Jebusites dwell with the
children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day. "
10145 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah,
and have taken the city of waters. 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. And David gathered all the people together, and went to
Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. And he took their king�s crown from off
his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones : and it
was set on David�s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great
abundance. 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. So
David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
10204 "And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her,
I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and
anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the
dead : and come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the
words in her mouth. � And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on
her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king. And the king
said unto her, What aileth thee ? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and
mine husband is dead. And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together
in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and
slew him. 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 we will destroy the heir also : and so they shall quench
my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder
upon the earth. � And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will
give charge concerning thee. And the woman of Tekoah 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. And the king said, Whosoever saith aught unto thee, bring him to me,
and he shall not touch thee any more. Then said she, I pray thee, let the king
remember the Lord thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to
destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the Lord liveth, there
shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. � Then the woman said, Let thine
handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the
people of God ? for the king doth speak this thing "
13379 "And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host ; and Jehoshaphat the son of
Ahilud, recorder ; and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar,
were the priests ; and Shavsha was scribe ; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was
over the Cherethites and the Pelethites ; and the sons of David were chief about
the king. "
8041 "And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal ?
will ye save him ? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is
yet morning : if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down
his altar. Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal [let Baal plead], saying,
Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. � Then all the
Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together,
and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel. But the Spirit of the Lord
came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet ; and Abiezer was gathered after him. And
he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh ; who also was gathered after him : and
he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali ; and they came
up to meet them. � And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand,
as thou hast said, behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor ; and if the
dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth besides, then shall I
know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. And it was so :
for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the
dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water. And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine
anger be hot 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. And God did so that night : for it was dry
upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. "
16125 "And Job answered and said, No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall
die with you. But I have understanding as well as you ; I am not inferior to you :
yea, who knoweth not such things as these ? I am as one mocked of his neighbor, who
calleth upon God, and he answereth him : the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him
that is at ease. The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are
secure ; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. But ask now the beasts, and they
shall teach thee ; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee : or speak to
the earth, and it shall teach thee ; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto
thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this ? in
whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Doth
not the ear try words ? and the mouth taste his meat ? With the ancient is wisdom ;
and in length of days understanding. With him [God] is wisdom and strength, he hath
counsel and understanding. "
31660 "And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into
Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the
house and lineage of David,) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great
with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished
that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped
him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger ; because there was no room for
them in the inn. "
1299 "And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me : God shall give
Pharaoh an answer of peace. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I
stood upon the bank of the river : and, behold, there came up out of the river
seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored ; and they fed in a meadow : and, behold,
seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed,
such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness : and the lean and the
ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine : and when they had eaten them
up, it could not be known that they had eaten them ; but they were still ill-
favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke. And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven
ears came up in one stalk, full and good : and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin,
and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them : and the thin ears devoured
the seven good ears : and I told this unto the magicians ; but there was none that
could declare it to me. � And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one
: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do. The seven good kine are seven
years ; and the seven good ears are seven years : the dream is one. And the seven
thin and ill-favored kine that came up after them are seven years ; and the seven
empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. This is the
thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh : What God is about to do he showeth unto
Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of
Egypt : 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 ; "
1646 "And Joseph fell upon his father�s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father : and the
physicians embalmed Israel. And forty days were fulfilled for him ; for so are
fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed : and the Egyptians mourned for him
threescore and ten days. � And when the days of his mourning 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, 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. "
1574 "And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh
should have the fifth part ; except the land of the priests only, which became not
Pharaoh�s. � And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen ; and
they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly. And Jacob lived
in the land of Egypt seventeen years : so the whole age of Jacob was a hundred
forty and seven years. � And the time drew nigh 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 : but I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt
carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as
thou hast said. And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed
himself upon the bed�s head. "
1603 "And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father : for this is the
firstborn ; put thy right hand upon his head. And his father refused, and said, I
know it, my son, I know it : he also shall become a people, and he also shall be
great : but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall
become a multitude of nations. 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. And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die ; but God shall be with
you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. 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. "
1225 "And Joseph was brought down to Egypt ; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh,
captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites,
which had brought him down thither. And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a
prosperous man ; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master
saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper
in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him : and he made
him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came
to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that
he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian�s house for Joseph�s sake ; and the
blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. And
he left all that he had in Joseph�s hand ; and he knew not aught he had, save the
bread which he did eat. � And Joseph was a goodly person, and well-favored. And it
came to pass after these things, that his master�s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph ;
and she said, Lie with me. But he refused, and said unto his master�s wife, Behold,
my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that
he hath to my hand ; 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 ? 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. And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his
business ; and there was none of the men of the house there within. "
2280 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. �
And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it
in the ears of Joshua : for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from
under heaven. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi
[the Lord my banner] : for he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will
have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
7745 "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. And Joshua said unto all the people,
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the
flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor :
and they served other gods. "
7067 "And Joshua rose early in the morning ; and they removed from Shittim, and
came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they
passed over. And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through
the host ; 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. 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.
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves : for tomorrow the Lord will
do wonders among you. 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. � 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. And thou shalt command the priests
that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the
water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. And Joshua said unto the children
of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God. 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 Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites,
and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before
you into Jordan. "
7200 "And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God
of Israel, and make confession unto him ; and tell me now what thou hast done ;
hide it not from me. And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned
against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done : When I saw among
the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a
wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them ; and,
behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
� So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent ; and, behold, it was hid
in his tent, and the silver under it. And they took them out of the midst of the
tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid
them out before the Lord. And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son
of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and
his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all
that he had : and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. And Joshua said, Why
hast thou troubled us ? the Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned
him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the Lord turned
from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The
valley of Achor [trouble], unto this day. "
7149 "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. And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the
city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the Lord. � And it came
to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the
seven trumpets of rams� horns passed on before the Lord, and blew with the trumpets
: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. And the armed men went
before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rearward came after the
ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. And Joshua had commanded
the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither
shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout ; then
shall ye shout. So the ark of the Lord compassed the city, going about it once :
and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. � And Joshua rose early in the
morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. And seven priests bearing
seven trumpets of rams� horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually, and
blew with the trumpets : and the armed men went before them ; but the rearward came
after the ark of the Lord, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. And
the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp. So they
did six days. � And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about
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. 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. "
7027 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly,
saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot�s
house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
7780 "And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great
stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the Lord. And
Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us ;
for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us : it shall be
therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God. So Joshua let the people
depart, every man unto his inheritance. "
7811 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron : now the name of
Hebron before was Kirjath-arba : and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
19464 and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
10721 "and keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his
statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is
written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and
whithersoever thou turnest thyself : that the Lord may continue 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. � Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the
son of Zeruiah did to me, and 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. Do therefore according
to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. But show
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 because of Absalom thy
brother. And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of
Bahurim, which 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. Now therefore hold him not guiltless :
for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him ; but his
hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. "
11756 "And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
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, and my horses as
thy horses. And he said, Which way shall we go up ? And he answered, The way
through the wilderness of Edom. � So the king of Israel went, and the king of
Judah, and the king of Edom : and they fetched a compass of seven days� journey :
and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them. And the
king of Israel said, Alas ! that the Lord hath called these three kings together,
to deliver them into the hand of Moab ! 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, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which
poured water on the hands of Elijah. 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. � 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. 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. But now
bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand
of the Lord came upon him. And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full
of ditches. For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see
rain ; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and
your cattle, and your beasts. "
24962 "And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of
Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah. 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. � 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. Now Jeremiah
came in and went out among the people : for they had not put him into prison. Then
Pharaoh�s army was come forth out of Egypt : and when the Chaldeans that besieged
Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem. � Then came the word
of the Lord unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 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. And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against
this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. Thus saith the Lord ; Deceive not
yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us : for they shall not
depart. 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. "
9157 "And Kish was the father of Saul ; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of
Abiel. � And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul : and
when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him. "
4948 "And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation : and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the
congregation. � And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Separate
yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. 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 ? And the Lord
spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from
about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. � And Moses rose up and went
unto Dathan and Abiram ; and the elders of Israel followed him. 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. So they gat up
from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side : and Dathan and
Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their
sons, and their little children. 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. 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. But if the Lord make a new
thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain
unto them, and they go down quick into the pit ; then ye shall understand that
these men have provoked the Lord. � And it came to pass, as he had made an end of
speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them : and
the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the
men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. "
844 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger
before the firstborn. Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the
service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. And Jacob did so, and
fulfilled her week : and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. And Laban
gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. And he went in also
unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven
other years.
21041 "and leadeth him into the way that is not good. He shutteth his eyes to
devise froward things : moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass. The hoary head is
a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. He that is slow to
anger is better than the mighty ; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh
a city. The lot is cast into the lap ; but the whole disposing thereof is of the
Lord. "
875 "And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to
my husband : and she called his name Issachar [an hire]. And Leah conceived again,
and bare Jacob the sixth son. And Leah said, God hath endued 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 [dwelling]. And afterward she bare a daughter, and called
her name Dinah. And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her
womb. And she conceived, and bare a son ; and said, God hath taken away my reproach
: and she called his name Joseph [adding] ; and said, The Lord shall add to me
another son. "
5217 "and let my last end be like his ! � 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. And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak
that which the Lord hath put in my mouth ? � 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. And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and
built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. And he said
unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the Lord yonder. And the
Lord met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and
say thus. And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the
princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the Lord spoken ? And
he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear ; hearken unto me, thou
son of Zippor : 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 ? Behold, I have received commandment to bless : and he
hath blessed ; and I cannot reverse it. 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. God brought them out of Egypt ; he hath as it were
the strength of a unicorn. "
16179 "and let not thy dread make me afraid. Then call thou, and I will answer : or
let me speak, and answer thou me. How many are mine iniquities and sins ? Make me
to know my transgression and my sin. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me
for thine enemy ? Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro ? And wilt thou pursue
the dry stubble ? For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to
possess the iniquities of my youth. Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and
lookest narrowly unto all my paths ; thou settest a print upon the heels of my
feet. And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten. "
16696 "and let others bow down upon her. For this is a heinous crime ; yea, it is
an iniquity to be punished by the judges. For it is a fire that consumeth to
destruction, and would root out all mine increase. If I did despise the cause of my
manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me ; what then shall I do
when God riseth up ? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him ? Did not he
that made me in the womb make him ? And did not one fashion us in the womb ? If I
have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to
fail ; or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten
thereof ; (for from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I
have guided her from my mother�s womb ;) if I have seen any perish for want of
clothing, or any poor without covering ; if his loins have not blessed me, and if
he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep ; if I have lifted up my hand
against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate : then let mine arm fall
from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. For destruction from
God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure. If I have
made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence ; if I
rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much ; if I
beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness ; and my heart
hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand : "
24402 "And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not
: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide ; because
he slew me not from the womb ; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her
womb to be always great with me. Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see
labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame ? "
19608 "and let the strangers spoil his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy
unto him : neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children. Let his
posterity be cut off ; and in the generation following let their name be blotted
out. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord ; and let not the
sin of his mother be blotted out. Let them be before the Lord continually, that he
may cut off the memory of them from the earth. Because that he remembered not to
show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the
broken in heart. As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him : as he delighted not
in blessing, so let it be far from him. As he clothed himself with cursing like as
with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his
bones. Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle
wherewith he is girded continually. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from
the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul. But do thou for me, O God
the Lord, for thy name�s sake : because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. For I
am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. I am gone like the shadow
when it declineth : I am tossed up and down as the locust. My knees are weak
through fasting ; and my flesh faileth of fatness. I became also a reproach unto
them : when they looked upon me they shook their heads. Help me, O Lord my God : O
save me according to thy mercy : "
8705 "and let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah,
of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman. � So Boaz took
Ruth, and she was his wife : and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her
conception, and she bare a son. And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord,
which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in
Israel. And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy 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. And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and
became nurse unto it. And the women her neighbors 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. � Now these are the generations of Pharez : Pharez begat
Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon,
and Nahshon begat Salmon, and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, and Obed
begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. "
19986 "and let thy judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep : seek
thy servant ; for I do not forget thy commandments. "
10693 "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. Then ye
shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne ; for he shall be
king in my stead : and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen : the Lord God of
my lord the king say so too. 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. � 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. And Zadok the priest took a
horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the
trumpet ; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. 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. � 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 ?
And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came : and
Adonijah said unto him, Come in ; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good
tidings. And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David
hath made Solomon king. 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 : "
12583 "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. � 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. And the Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have
removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the
house of which I said, My name shall be there. "
12975 "And Maachah the wife of Machir bare a son, and she called his name Peresh ;
and the name of his brother was Sheresh ; and his sons were Ulam and Rakem. And the
sons of Ulam ; Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of
Manasseh. And his sister Hammoleketh bare Ishod, and Abiezer, and Mahalah. And the
sons of Shemidah were, Ahian, and Shechem, and Likhi, and Aniam. "
2547 "And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end :
even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof. And the
cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with
their wings, and their faces shall look one to another ; toward the mercy seat
shall the faces of the cherubim be. And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon
the ark ; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. And
there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy
seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all
things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. "
31624 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
31521 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
19161 "and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree : he shall grow like a cedar in
Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the
courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age ; they shall be
fat and flourishing ; to show that the Lord is upright : he is my rock, and there
is no unrighteousness in him. "
26032 "And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine
lies : they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be
written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the
land of Israel ; and ye shall know that I am the Lord God. Because, even because
they have seduced my people, saying, Peace ; and there was no peace ; and one built
up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar : 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.
Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing
wherewith ye have daubed it ? 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 my fury to consume it. 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. Thus will I
accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with
untempered mortar, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that
daubed it ; 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. �
Likewise, 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, and say, Thus
saith the Lord God ; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make
kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls ! Will ye hunt the souls of
my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you ? "
4769 "And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom
he had married : for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the
Lord indeed spoken only by Moses ? hath he not spoken also by us ? And the Lord
heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the
face of the earth.) And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and
unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they
three came out. And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the
door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam : and they both came forth. 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, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant
Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to
mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches ; and the similitude of the Lord
shall he behold : wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant
Moses ? "
2010 "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 ? 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.
And he said unto them, Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your
little ones : look to it ; for evil is before you. Not so : go now ye that are men,
and serve the Lord ; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from
Pharaoh�s presence. � 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. And Moses stretched
forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the
land all that day, and all that night ; and when it was morning, the east wind
brought the locusts. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested
in all the coasts of Egypt : very grievous were they ; before them there were no
such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 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 in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through
all the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste ; and he
said, I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. 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. And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated
the Lord. And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the
locusts, and cast them into the Red sea ; there remained not one locust in all the
coasts of Egypt. "
5542 "And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses. � And the
booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred
thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, and threescore and twelve
thousand beeves, and threescore and one thousand asses, and thirty and two thousand
persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. And the half,
which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred
thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep : and the Lord�s
tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. And the beeves
were thirty and six thousand ; of which the Lord�s tribute was threescore and
twelve. And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred ; of which the Lord�s
tribute was threescore and one. And the persons were sixteen thousand ; of which
the Lord�s tribute was thirty and two persons. And Moses gave the tribute, which
was the Lord�s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded
Moses. � And of the children of Israel�s half, which Moses divided from the men
that warred, (now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, and thirty
and six thousand beeves, and thirty thousand asses and five hundred, and sixteen
thousand persons,) even of the children of Israel�s half, Moses took one portion of
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. "
1772 "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.
And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand ? And he said, A rod. 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. And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth
thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and
it became a rod in his hand : that they may believe that the Lord God of their
fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared
unto thee. 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 snow. And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he
put his hand into his bosom again ; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold,
it was turned again as his other flesh. 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. And it shall come to pass, if they will not
believe also 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. � And Moses said unto
the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast
spoken unto thy servant ; but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And the
Lord said unto him, Who hath made man�s mouth ? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or
the seeing, or the blind ? have not I the Lord ? "
5962 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes
and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep
and do them. The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made not
this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive
this day.
2958 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together,
and said unto them, These are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye
should do them. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be
to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord : whosoever doeth work therein
shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon
the sabbath day.
4409 and Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his
sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
4990 "And Moses laid up the rods before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness. �
And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness ;
and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth
buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 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. And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron�s rod again before the
testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels ; and thou shalt quite take
away their murmurings from me, that they die not. And Moses did so : as the Lord
commanded him, so did he. � And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,
Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the
tabernacle of the Lord shall die : shall we be consumed with dying ? "
6947 "And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel : and he
said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this
day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this
law. For it is not a vain thing for you ; because it is your life : and through
this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to
possess it. "
4975 "And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the
altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an
atonement for them : for there is wrath gone out from the Lord ; the plague is
begun. And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the
congregation ; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people : and he put on
incense, and made an atonement for the people. And he stood between the dead and
the living ; and the plague was stayed. Now they that died in the plague were
fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of
Korah. And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation : and the plague was stayed. "
1747 "And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the
bush is not burnt. 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. And he said, Draw not nigh hither : put off thy shoes from off thy feet ; for
the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 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. � 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 ; 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 Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of
the children of Israel is come unto me : and I have also seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto
Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of
Egypt. 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 ? And he said, Certainly I
will be with thee ; and this shall be a 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. � 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 ? "
4753 "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. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them ? or shall
all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them ? And the
Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord�s hand waxed short ? thou shalt see now whether
my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. � And Moses went out, and told the
people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the
people, and set them round about the tabernacle. And the Lord came down in a cloud,
and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the
seventy elders : and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they
prophesied, and did not cease. � But there remained two of the men in the camp, the
name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad : and the spirit rested
upon them ; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the
tabernacle : and they prophesied in the camp. And there ran a young man, and told
Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. And Joshua the son of
Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses,
forbid them. And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake ? would God that all
the Lord�s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them.
And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. � And there went
forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by
the camp, as it were a day�s journey on this side, and as it were a day�s journey
on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the
face of the earth. And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and
all the next day, and they gathered the quails : he that gathered least "
5513 "And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas
the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the
trumpets to blow in his hand. And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord
commanded Moses ; and they slew all the males. And they slew the kings of Midian,
beside the rest of them that were slain ; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur,
and Reba, five kings of Midian : Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the
sword. And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their
little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all
their goods. And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire. And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of
men and of beasts. And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto
Moses and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel,
unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho. � And Moses,
and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet
them without the camp. And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the
captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive ? Behold, these caused
the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against
the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of
the Lord. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman
that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not
known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. And do ye abide without
the camp seven days : whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched
any slain, purify "
5486 "And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of
Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded. If a man vow a vow
unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond ; he shall not break
his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. If a
woman also vow a vow unto the Lord, and bind herself by a bond, being in her
father�s house in her youth ; and her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith
she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her ; then all her
vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. But
if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, not any 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. And if she had at all a husband,
when she vowed, or uttered aught out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul ;
and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it :
then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it, then he shall make
her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she
bound her soul, of none effect ; and the Lord shall forgive her. But every vow of a
widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall
stand against her. And if she vowed in her husband�s house, or bound her soul by a
bond with an oath ; "
6844 "And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel. And he said unto them,
I am a hundred and twenty years old this day ; I can no more go out and come in :
also the Lord hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan. "
6997 "And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the
top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho : and the Lord showed him all the land
of Gilead, unto Dan, and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and
all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, and the south, and the plain of the
valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. 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. So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land
of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. And he buried him in a valley in the
land of Moab, over against Beth-peor : but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto
this day. And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died : his eye was
not dim, nor his natural force abated. And the children of Israel wept for Moses in
the plains of Moab thirty days : so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were
ended. � 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. And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto
Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, 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, and in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which
Moses showed in the sight of all Israel. "
2327 "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 ; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on
eagles� wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice
indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above
all people : for all the earth is mine : and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of
priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the
children of Israel. � And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and
laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him. And all the
people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And
Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord. 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 believe thee for ever. � And Moses told the words of the people unto the
Lord. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and
tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes, 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. 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 : there shall not a hand touch it,
but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through ; whether it be beast or man, it
shall not live : when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people ; and
they washed their clothes. "
6673 "And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all
the commandments which I command you this day. 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 plaster them with plaster : 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 that floweth
with milk and honey ; as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee. Therefore
it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I
command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. And
there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones : thou
shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord
thy God of whole stones : and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the
Lord thy God : and thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and
rejoice before the Lord thy God. And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words
of this law very plainly. � And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all
Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel ; this day thou art become the
people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord thy
God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. "
16347 "and my familiar friends have forgotten me. They that dwell in mine house,
and my maids, count me for a stranger : I am an alien in their sight. I called my
servant, and he gave me no answer ; I entreated him with my mouth. My breath is
strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children�s sake of mine own body.
Yea, young children despised me ; I arose, and they spake against me. All my inward
friends abhorred me : and they whom I loved are turned against me. My bone cleaveth
to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. Have pity
upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends ; for the hand of God hath touched me.
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh ? Oh that my
words were now written ! Oh that they were printed in a book ! That they were
graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever ! For I know that my Redeemer
liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth : and though after
my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God : whom I shall see
for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another ; though my reins be
consumed within me. But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the
matter is found in me ? Be ye afraid of the sword : for wrath bringeth the
punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment. "
17892 "and my kinsmen stand afar off. 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. But I, as a deaf man, heard not ; and I was as a dumb man that
openeth not his mouth. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are
no reproofs. For in thee, O Lord, do I hope : thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. For I
said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me : when my foot slippeth,
they magnify themselves against me. For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is
continually before me. For I will declare mine iniquity ; I will be sorry for my
sin. But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong : and they that hate me
wrongfully are multiplied. They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries
; because I follow the thing that good is. Forsake me not, O Lord : O my God, be
not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. "
16640 "and my speech dropped upon them. And they waited for me as for the rain ;
and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain. If I laughed on them, they
believed it not ; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. I chose out
their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth
the mourners. "
11867 "And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound
two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon
two of his servants ; and they bare them before him. And when he came to the tower,
he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house : and he let the men
go, and they departed. 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.
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 ? 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. "
3512 "And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and
put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the
Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the Lord, and
devoured them, and they died before the Lord. 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. � And Moses
called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto
them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. So
they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp ; as Moses had
said. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons,
Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes ; lest ye die, and lest wrath
come upon all the people : but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail
the burning which the Lord hath kindled. And ye shall not go out from the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die : for the anointing oil of the Lord
is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses. � And the Lord spake unto
Aaron, saying, Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee,
when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die : it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your generations : and that ye may put difference
between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean ; and that ye may teach the
children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the
hand of Moses. � And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his
sons that were left, Take the meat offering that "
8638 "And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband�s, a mighty man of wealth, of the
family of Elimelech ; and his name was Boaz. And Ruth the Moabitess said unto
Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight
I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter. And she went, and came,
and gleaned in the field after the reapers : and her hap was to light on a part of
the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech. And, behold,
Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they
answered him, The Lord bless thee. Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set
over the reapers, Whose damsel is this ? 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 : and she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after
the reapers among the sheaves : so she came, and hath continued even from the
morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house. � Then said Boaz unto
Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter ? Go not to glean in another field, neither go
from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens : 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. Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself
to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou
shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger ? And Boaz answered and said
unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-
law since the death "
8663 "And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that
thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field. So she
kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of
wheat harvest ; and dwelt with her mother-inlaw. "
3391 And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle
of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten : it
shall be burnt in the fire.
36666 "and not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was
comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent
mind toward me ; so that I rejoiced the more. For though I made you sorry with a
letter, I do not repent, though I did repent : for I perceive that the same epistle
hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. Now I rejoice, not that ye
were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance : for ye were made sorry after
a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow
worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of : but the sorrow of the world
worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort,
what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what
indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what
revenge ! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the
wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the
sight of God might appear unto you. � Therefore we were comforted in your comfort :
yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was
refreshed by you all. For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not
ashamed ; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I
made before Titus, is found a truth. And his inward affection is more abundant
toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and
trembling ye received him. I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all
things. "
9545 "And now I have heard that thou hast shearers : now thy shepherds which were
with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while
they were in Carmel. Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let the
young men find favor 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. � And when
David�s young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the
name of David, and ceased. And Nabal answered David�s servants, and said, Who is
David ? and who is the son of Jesse ? there be many servants nowadays that break
away every man from his master. Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my
flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not
whence they be ? So David�s young men turned their way, and went again, and came
and told him all those sayings. 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. � 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
railed on them. 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. They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with
them keeping the sheep. Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do ; for
evil is determined against our master, and against all his household : for he is
such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him. � Then Abigail made haste,
and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed,
and five measures of "

shall deliver her out of mine hand. I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her
feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. And I will
destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards
that my lovers have given me : and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the
field shall eat them. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she
burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels,
and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord. � Therefore, behold,
I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto
her. And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a
door of hope : and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the
day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be at that day, saith
the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi [my husband] ; and shalt call me no more
Baali [my lord]. For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and
they shall no more be remembered by their name. And in that day will I make a
covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and
with the creeping things of the ground : and I will break the bow and the sword and
the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. 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. I will even betroth thee
unto me in faithfulness : and thou shalt know the Lord. � And it shall come to pass
in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall
hear the earth ; and the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil ; and
they shall hear Jezreel. "
5260 "And now, behold, I go unto my people : come therefore, and I will advertise
thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. And he took up his
parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are
open hath said : he hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge
of the Most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but
having his eyes open : I shall see him, but not now : I shall behold him, but not
nigh : there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of
Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies ;
and Israel shall do valiantly. Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion,
and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. � And when he looked on Amalek,
he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations ; but his
latter end shall be that he perish for ever. � And he looked on the Kenites, and
took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy
nest in a rock. Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry
thee away captive. � And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live
when God doeth this ! And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall
afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever. "
6659 "And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O
Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship
before the Lord thy God : and thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord
thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the
stranger that is among you. � When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes
of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it
unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat
within thy gates, and be filled ; then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I
have brought 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 commandments which thou hast commanded me : I have not
transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them : I have not eaten
thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away aught thereof for any unclean
use, nor given aught thereof for the dead : but I have hearkened to the voice of
the Lord my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. Look
down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the
land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that
floweth with milk and honey. � This day the Lord thy God hath commanded thee to do
these statutes and judgments : thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul. Thou hast avouched the Lord this day to be thy God,
and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his
judgments, and to hearken unto his voice : and the Lord hath avouched thee this day
to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep
all his commandments ; and to make thee high above all nations which he hath made,
in praise, and in name, and in honor ; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto
the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken. "
7452 "And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and
five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of
Israel wandered in the wilderness : and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five
years old. As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me :
as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and
to come in. 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 that the cities were
great and fenced : if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive
them out, as the Lord said. � And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son
of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. Hebron therefore became the inheritance of
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day ; because that he wholly
followed the Lord God of Israel. And the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba ;
which Arba was a great man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war. "
29153 "And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us : this
hath been by your means : will he regard your persons ? saith the Lord of hosts.
Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought ? neither do ye
kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of
hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. For, from the rising of the
sun even unto the going down of the same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles
; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering :
for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye have
profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted ; and the fruit
thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is
it ! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts ; and ye brought that which
was torn, and the lame, and the sick ; thus ye brought an offering : should I
accept this of your hand ? saith the Lord. But cursed be the deceiver, which hath
in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing :
for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the
heathen. "
8679 "And now, my daughter, fear not ; I will do to thee all that thou requirest :
for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. And now it
is true that I am thy near kinsman : howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
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. � And she lay at his feet until the
morning : and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be
known that a woman came into the floor. Also he said, Bring the veil that thou hast
upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley,
and laid it on her : and she went into the city. 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. And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me ; for he said to
me, Go not empty unto thy mother-in-law. Then said she, Sit still, my daughter,
until thou know how the matter will fall : for the man will not be in rest, until
he have finished the thing this day. "
29156 "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 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, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings : yea, I
have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt
your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts ;
and one shall take you away with it. "
33097 "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law
was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God
at any time ; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath
declared him. "
3129 "And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made clothes of service, to
do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron ; as the Lord
commanded Moses. � And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen. 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, with cunning work. They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it
together : by the two edges was it coupled together. And the curious girdle of his
ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof ; of gold,
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen ; as the Lord commanded Moses.
� And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are
graven, with the names of the children of Israel. And he put them on the shoulders
of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel ;
as the Lord commanded Moses. � And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like
the work of the ephod ; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen. It was foursquare ; they made the breastplate double : a span was the length
thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled. "
34356 "And of the rest durst no man join himself to them : but the people magnified
them. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and
women ;) insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them
on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might
overshadow some of them. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about
unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits
: and they were healed every one. "
15044 "And of the sons of Shephatiah ; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him
fourscore males. Of the sons of Joab ; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two
hundred and eighteen males. And of the sons of Shelomith ; the son of Josiphiah,
and with him a hundred and threescore males. And of the sons of Bebai ; Zechariah
the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males. And of the sons of Azgad ;
Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him a hundred and ten males. And of the last
sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with
them threescore males. Of the sons also of Bigvai ; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with
them seventy males. � And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to
Ahava ; and there abode we in tents three days : and I viewed the people, and the
priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi. Then sent I for Eliezer, for
Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for
Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men ; also for Joiarib, and for
Elnathan, men of understanding. And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the
chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to
his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us
ministers for the house of our God. And by the good hand of our God upon us they
brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son
of Israel ; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen ; and
Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their
sons, twenty ; also of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had appointed for
the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim : all of them were
expressed by name. "
12475 "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.
Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast
spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days ? "
13911 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people
away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the Lord had
showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
13448 "And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel ; and his four sons with him hid
themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked
and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with
his face to the ground. Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this
threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the Lord : thou shalt grant
it me for the full price : that the plague may be stayed from the people. 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 also for burnt offerings, and the threshing
instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering ; I give it all. And king
David said to Ornan, Nay ; but I will verily buy it for the full price : for I will
not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. 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. And the Lord commanded the angel ; and he put up his
sword again into the sheath thereof. "
32034 "And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit a hundredfold.
And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear. � And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be ? And he
said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God : but to
others in parables ; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not
understand. Now the parable is this : The seed is the word of God. Those by the
wayside are they that hear ; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of
their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they,
which, when they hear, receive the word with joy ; and these have no root, which
for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among
thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares
and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that
on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the
word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. "
18761 "and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children,
showing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and
his wonderful works that he hath done. 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 : that the generation to come might know them, even
the children which should be born ; who should arise and declare them to their
children : that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments : and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and
rebellious generation ; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose
spirit was not steadfast with God. The children of Ephraim, being armed, and
carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept not the covenant of God,
and refused to walk in his law ; and forgat his works, and his wonders that he had
showed them. Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of
Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through ;
and he made the waters to stand as a heap. In the daytime also he led them with a
cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. He clave the rocks in the
wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. He brought streams also
out of the rock, "

suburbs, and Hukok with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs : and out of the
tribe of Naphtali ; Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, and Hammon with her
suburbs, and Kirjathaim with her suburbs. Unto the rest of the children of Merari
were given, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Rimmon with her suburbs, Tabor with her
suburbs : and on the other side Jordan by Jericho, on the east side of Jordan, were
given them, out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer in the wilderness with her suburbs,
and Jahzah with her suburbs, Kedemoth also with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her
suburbs : and out of the tribe of Gad ; Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, and

suburbs. "
12929 "and out of the tribe of Benjamin ; Geba with her suburbs, and Alemeth with
her suburbs, and Anathoth with her suburbs. All their cities throughout their
families were thirteen cities. � And unto the sons of Kohath, which were left of
the family of that tribe, were cities given out of the half tribe, namely, out of
the half tribe of Manasseh, by lot, ten cities. And to the sons of Gershom
throughout their families out of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of
Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the tribe of Manasseh in
Bashan, thirteen cities. Unto the sons of Merari were given by lot, throughout
their families, out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of
the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities. And the children of Israel gave to the Levites
these cities with their suburbs. And they gave by lot out of the tribe of the
children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, and out of the
tribe of the children of Benjamin, these cities, which are called by their names. �
And the residue of the families of the sons of Kohath had cities of their coasts
out of the tribe of Ephraim. And they gave unto them, of the cities of refuge,
Shechem in mount Ephraim with her suburbs ; they gave also Gezer with her suburbs,
and Jokmeam with her suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs, and Ajalon with her
suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with her suburbs : and out of the half tribe of Manasseh ;
Aner with her suburbs, and Bileam with her suburbs, for the family of the remnant
of the sons of Kohath. � Unto the sons of Gershom were given, out of the family of
the half tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, and Ashtaroth with
her suburbs : and out of the tribe of Issachar ; Kedesh with her suburbs, Daberath
with her suburbs, and Ramoth with her suburbs, and Anem with her suburbs : "
35196 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have
lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
183 and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons
and daughters. � And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug : and Reu
lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and
daughters. � And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor : and Serug lived after
he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. � And Nahor lived
nine and twenty years, and begat Terah : and Nahor lived after he begat Terah a
hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. � And Terah lived seventy
years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
1950 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the
people go.
1333 "And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man
lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh called Joseph�s name
Zaphnath-paaneah ; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah
priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. � 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. And in the
seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. 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. And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he
left numbering ; for it was without number. � And unto Joseph were born two sons,
before the years of famine came : which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest
of On bare unto him. And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh
[forgetting] : For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my
father�s house. And the name of the second called he Ephraim [fruitful] : For God
hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. � And the seven years
of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. And the seven years of
dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said : and the dearth was in all
lands ; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 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. 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 waxed sore in the land of Egypt. "
1659 "And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee
swear. 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, 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. And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen : and it was a very
great company. And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond
Jordan ; and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation : and he
made a mourning for his father seven days. 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 [the mourning of the Egyptians], which is beyond Jordan. And his sons did
unto him according as he commanded them : 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. 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. "
12598 "And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah
his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away : and he came
to Egypt, and died there. 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 every one
according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh. "
31473 "And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing ? behold how many
things they witness against thee. But Jesus yet answered nothing ; so that Pilate
marveled. "
18990 "and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O Lord,
unto my prayer ; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my
trouble I will call upon thee : for thou wilt answer me. Among the gods there is
none like unto thee, O Lord ; neither are there any works like unto thy works. All
nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord ; and shall
glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things : thou art God
alone. Teach me thy way, O Lord ; I will walk in thy truth : unite my heart to fear
thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart : and I will glorify
thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me : and thou hast delivered
my soul from the lowest hell. O God, the proud are risen against me, and the
assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul ; and have not set thee before
them. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering,
and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me ; give thy
strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. Show me a token for
good ; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed : because thou, Lord,
hast helped me, and comforted me. "

nobles with fetters of iron ; to execute upon them the judgment written : this

12808 "And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat Jahath ; and Jahath begat Ahumai, and
Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites. And these were of the father of
Etam ; Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash : and the name of their sister was
Hazelelponi : and Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These
are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, the father of Bethlehem. And Ashur
the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah. And Naarah bare him Ahuzam,
and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah. And the
sons of Helah were, Zereth, and Jezoar, and Ethnan. And Coz begat Anub, and
Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum. And Jabez was more honorable
than his brethren : and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare
him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou
wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with
me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me ! And God
granted him that which he requested. And Chelub the brother of Shuah begat Mehir,
which was the father of Eshton. And Eshton begat Beth-rapha, and Paseah, and
Tehinnah the father of Ir-nahash. These are the men of Rechah. And the sons of
Kenaz ; Othniel, and Seraiah : and the sons of Othniel ; Hathath. And Meonothai
begat Ophrah : and Seraiah begat Joab, the father of the valley of Charashim ; for
they were craftsmen. And the sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh ; Iru, Elah, and
Naam : and the sons of Elah, even Kenaz. And the sons of Jehaleleel ; Ziph, and
Ziphah, Tiria, and Asareel. And the sons of Ezra were, Jether, and Mered, and
Epher, and Jalon : and she bare Miriam, and Shammai, and Ishbah the father of
Eshtemoa. "

city of David. And his mother�s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son
11187 And Rehoboam went to Shechem : for all Israel were come to Shechem to make
him king. And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in
Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and
Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,) that they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the
congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
13986 And Rehoboam went to Shechem : for to Shechem were all Israel come to make
him king.
11500 "and said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and
looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. And it came
to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out
of the sea, like a man�s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy
chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. And it came to pass in the
mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great
rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah ;
and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. "
8926 "and 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. But the thing displeased
Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the
Lord. 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 reign over them. According to all the works which they have
done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day,
wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
Now therefore hearken unto their voice : howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them,
and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. � And Samuel told
all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king. And he said,
This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you : He will take your
sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen ; and
some shall run before his chariots. And he will appoint him captains over
thousands, and captains over fifties ; and will set them to ear his ground, and to
reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his
chariots. And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks,
and to be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your
oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. And he will take
the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his
servants. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your
goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. He will take the
tenth of your sheep : and ye shall be his servants. And ye shall cry out in that
day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you ; and the Lord will not
hear you in that day. "
33557 and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by
interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. The
neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is
not this he that sat and begged ? Some said, This is he : others said, He is like
him : but he said, I am he. Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes
opened ? He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed
mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash : and I went and
washed, and I received sight. Then said they unto him, Where is he ? He said, I
know not.
25105 "and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech 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 :) that
the Lord thy God may show us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may
do. 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. Then they said to Jeremiah, The Lord be a true and
faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the
which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us. 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. � And it came to
pass after ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah. 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, and said unto them, Thus
saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your
supplication before him ; 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. 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. And I will show mercies
unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own
land. But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the
Lord your God, "
8413 "And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may
feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. 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. � And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God,
remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God,
that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. And Samson took
hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was
borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. 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. 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. "
8357 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of
you, and after that I will cease. And he smote them hip and thigh with a great
slaughter : and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
8320 "And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters
of the Philistines. And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I
have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines : now therefore
get her for me to wife. 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. � But his father and his
mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the
Philistines : for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. � Then
went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the
vineyards of Timnath : and, behold, a young lion roared against him. 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. And he went down, and talked with the woman ; and she pleased Samson
well. "
9199 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death : nevertheless
Samuel mourned for Saul : and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over
Israel.
9533 "And Samuel died ; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and
lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. � And David arose, and went
down to the wilderness of Paran. 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. Now the name of the man
was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail ; and she was a woman of good
understanding, and of a beautiful countenance : but the man was churlish and evil
in his doings ; and he was of the house of Caleb. And David heard in the wilderness
that Nabal did shear his sheep. And David sent out 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
: and thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee,
and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast. "
9036 "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. And now, behold, the king
walketh before you : and I am old and grayheaded ; and, behold, my sons are with
you : and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. Behold, 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 received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith
? and I will restore it you. And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor
oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man�s hand. 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 answered, He is witness. � And Samuel
said unto the people, It is the Lord that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that
brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. Now therefore stand still, that I
may reason with you before the Lord of all the righteous acts of the Lord, which he
did to you and to your fathers. When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers
cried unto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your
fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. And when they forgat the
Lord their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor,
and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and
they fought against them. And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned,
because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and "
9215 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. And he
sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance,
and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him : for this is he. Then
Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren : and
the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up,
and went to Ramah.
9185 "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. For rebellion is as the sin of
witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast
rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. � 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. Now
therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship
the Lord. 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. And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his
mantle, and it rent. And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdom of
Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better
than thou. And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent : for he is not
a man, that he should repent. Then he said, I have sinned : yet honor 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. So Samuel turned again after Saul ; and
Saul worshipped the Lord. � 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. 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. � Then Samuel went to Ramah ; and Saul went up to
his house to Gibeah of Saul. "
543 "And Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years old : these were the
years of the life of Sarah. And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba ; the same is Hebron in
the land of Canaan : and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her. And
Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 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. And the children of Heth
answered Abraham, saying unto him, 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. And Abraham
stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of
Heth. 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, "
310 "And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from
bearing : I pray thee, go in unto my maid ; it may be that I may obtain children by
her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai, Abram�s wife, took Hagar
her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and
gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. And he went in unto Hagar, and she
conceived : and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in
her eyes. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee : I have given my maid
into thy bosom ; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her
eyes : the Lord judge between me and thee. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy
maid is in thy hand ; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly
with her, she fled from her face. � And the angel of the Lord found her by a
fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. And he
said, Hagar, Sarai�s maid, whence camest thou ? and whither wilt thou go ? And she
said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. And the angel of the Lord said
unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. And the angel
of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not
be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou
art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael [God shall
hear] ; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man ; his
hand will be against every man, and every man�s hand against him : and he shall
dwell in the presence of all his brethren. And she called the name of the Lord that
spake unto her, Thou God seest me : for she said, Have I also here looked after him
that seeth me ? "
13423 "And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. And
David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-
sheba even to Dan ; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. And
Joab answered, The Lord make his people a hundred times so many more as they be :
but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord�s servants ? why then doth my lord
require this thing ? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel ? Nevertheless
the king�s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went
throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. And Joab gave the sum of the number
of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a
hundred thousand men that drew sword : and Judah was four hundred threescore and
ten thousand men that drew sword. But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them :
for the king�s word was abominable to Joab. � And God was displeased with this
thing ; therefore he smote Israel. And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly,
because I have done this thing : but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of
thy servant ; for I have done very foolishly. "
9840 "And 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 ?
Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog�s
head, which against Judah do show kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy
father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the
hand of David, that thou chargest me today with a fault concerning this woman ? So
do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I
do to him ; 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 Beersheba. And he
could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him. � 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. 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. And David sent
messengers to Ish-bosheth Saul�s son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I
espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines. And Ish-bosheth sent,
and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish. And her husband
went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go,
return. And he returned. � And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel,
saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you : 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. "
9459 "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 ? Then
Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy
servants as David, which is the king�s son-inlaw, and goeth at thy bidding, and is
honorable in thine house ? Did I then begin 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 knew nothing of all this, less or more. And the king
said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father�s house. And the
king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the
Lord ; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled,
and did not show it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their
hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord. And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou,
and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the
priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen
ephod. 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. � And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named
Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. And Abiathar showed David that Saul had
slain the Lord�s priests. And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it 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. Abide thou with me, fear not : for
he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life : but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
"
9333 "And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they
should kill David. But Jonathan Saul�s son delighted much in David : and Jonathan
told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee : now therefore, I pray
thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide
thyself : 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 what I see, that I will tell thee.
And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not
the king sin against his servant, against David ; "
9654 "And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall
no punishment happen to thee for this thing. Then said the woman, Whom shall I
bring up unto thee ? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 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. And the king said unto her, Be not afraid :
for what sawest thou ? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of
the earth. And he said unto her, What form is he of ? And she said, An old man
cometh up ; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel,
and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. � 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. Then said Samuel,
Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is
become thine enemy ? And the Lord hath done to him, as he spake by me : for the
Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even to
David : because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, nor executedst his fierce
wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day.
Moreover the Lord will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the
Philistines : and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me : the Lord also shall
deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. � Then Saul fell
straightway all along on 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. "
34483 And Saul was consenting unto his death.
34532 "And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples
of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and desired of him letters to Damascus to
the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women,
he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near
Damascus : and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven : and he
fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me ? And he said, Who art thou, Lord ? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou
persecutest : it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and
astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do ? And the Lord said unto him,
Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the
men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
And Saul arose from the earth ; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man : but
they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days
without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. "
24318 "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 : 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 ; 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. But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear,
but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. � 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 hallow the
sabbath day, to do no work therein ; then shall there enter into the gates of this
city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on
horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem
: and this city shall remain for ever. And they shall come from the cities of
Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from
the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings,
and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise,
unto the house of the Lord. But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the
sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering 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. "
24363 "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. Because
they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it
unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of
Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents ; they have built
also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto
Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind :
therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be
called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place ; and I will
cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that
seek their lives : and their carcasses will I give to be meat for the fowls of the
heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. And I will make this city desolate, and a
hissing ; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss, because of
all the plagues thereof. 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 straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their
lives, shall straiten them. � Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the
men that go with thee, 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 them in Tophet, till there be no
place to bury. Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, and to the
inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet : "
29340 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain : and when he was set,
his disciples came unto him : and he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
24669 "And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away
captives, and pray unto the Lord for it : for in the peace thereof shall ye have
peace. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Let not your prophets
and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to
your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my
name : I have not sent them, saith the Lord. � For thus saith the Lord, That after
seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word
toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I
think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you
an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and
I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search
for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord : and I
will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from
all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord ; and I will bring you
again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. � Because ye
have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon ; know that thus saith
the Lord of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people
that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you
into captivity ; 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 evil. And I will persecute them with the sword, with
the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the
kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a
reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them : "
27205 "And 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 kid of
the goats daily for a sin offering. And he shall prepare a meat offering of an
ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah. In the
seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast
of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering,
and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil. "
6921 "and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the
foundations of the mountains. I will heap mischiefs upon them ; I will spend mine
arrows upon them. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat,
and with bitter destruction : I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with
the poison of serpents of the dust. The sword without, and terror within, shall
destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray
hairs. I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of
them to cease from among men : were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy,
lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should
say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this. For they are a nation
void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. O that they were wise,
that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end ! How should
one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had
sold them, and the Lord had shut them up ? For their rock is not as our Rock, even
our enemies themselves being judges. 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
: their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. Is not this
laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures ? "
18413 "and shall trust in him ; and all the upright in heart shall glory. "
13051 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his
brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the
service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle : and their fathers, being over the
host of the Lord, were keepers of the entry. And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was
the ruler over them in time past, and the Lord was with him. And Zechariah the son
of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. All
these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve.
These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the
seer did ordain in their set office. So they and their children had the oversight
of the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by
wards. In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days
from time to time with them. For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in
their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and
the opening thereof every morning pertained to them. � And certain of them had the
charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.
Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of
the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense,
and the spices. And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the
spices. And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the
Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans. And other
of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the showbread, to
prepare it every sabbath.
21269 "and shalt deliver his soul from hell. My son, if thine heart be wise, my
heart shall rejoice, even mine. Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak
right things. Let not thine heart envy sinners ; but be thou in the fear of the
Lord all the day long. For surely there is an end ; and thine expectation shall not
be cut off. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. Be
not among winebibbers ; among riotous eaters of flesh : for the drunkard and the
glutton shall come to poverty : and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is
old. Buy the truth, and sell it not ; also wisdom, and instruction, and
understanding. The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice : and he that
begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. Thy father and thy mother shall be
glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. My son, give me thine heart, and let
thine eyes observe my ways. For a whore is a deep ditch ; and a strange woman is a
narrow pit. She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors
among men. Who hath woe ? Who hath sorrow ? Who hath contentions ? Who hath
babbling ? Who hath wounds without cause ? Who hath redness of eyes ? "
1238 "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. And it came to pass, when she saw
that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, that she called unto
the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew
unto us to mock us ; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud
voice : and it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried,
that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out. And she laid up his
garment by her, until his lord came home. 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 : and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left
his garment with me, and fled out. � 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. And Joseph�s master took him, and put
him into the prison, a place where the king�s prisoners were bound : and he was
there in the prison. But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave
him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 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. 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. "
1193 "And she conceived again, and bare a son ; and she called his name Onan. And
she yet again conceived, and bare a son ; and called his name Shelah : and he was
at Chezib, when she bare him. And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose
name was Tamar. And Er, Judah�s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord ;
and the Lord slew him. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother�s wife, and
marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 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 that he should give seed to his brother. And the
thing which he did displeased the Lord : wherefore he slew him also. Then said
Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at thy father�s house, till
Shelah my son be grown : for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his
brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father�s house. � And in process of
time the daughter of Shuah Judah�s wife died ; and Judah was comforted, and went up
unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. And it
was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath to shear his
sheep. And she put her widow�s garments off from her, and covered her with a veil,
and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath ; for
she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. When Judah
saw her, he thought her to be a harlot ; because she had covered her face. 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 daughterin-law :) and she said, What wilt
thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me ? And he said, I will send thee a
kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it ? "
10174 And she had a garment of divers colors upon her : for with such robes were
the king�s daughters that were virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out,
and bolted the door after her. And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her
garment of divers colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went
on crying.
25827 "And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and
my statutes more than the countries that are round about her : for they have
refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. Therefore thus
saith the Lord God ; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round
about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments,
neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about
you ; therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and
will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. 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. Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons
in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers ; and I will execute
judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
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, neither will I
have any pity. 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 I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I
will draw out a sword after them. � Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I
will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted : and they shall know
that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in
them. Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are
round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. 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. "
862 "And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her ; and she shall bear
upon my knees, that I may also have children by her. And she gave him Bilhah her
handmaid to wife : and Jacob went in unto her. And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob
a son. 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 [judging]. And Bilhah Rachel�s
maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. And Rachel said, With great
wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed : and she called
his name Naphtali [my wrestling]. � When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she
took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. And Zilpah Leah�s maid bare Jacob
a son. And Leah said, A troop cometh : and she called his name Gad. And Zilpah
Leah�s maid bare Jacob a second son. And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters
will call me blessed : and she called his name Asher [happy]. � 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. And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my
husband ? and wouldest thou take away my son�s mandrakes also ? And Rachel said,
Therefore he shall lie with thee tonight for thy son�s mandrakes. And Jacob came
out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must
come in unto me ; for surely I have hired thee with my son�s mandrakes. And he lay
with her that night. And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob
the fifth son. "
12777 "And Shobal the father of Kirjath-jearim had sons ; Haroeh, and half of the
Manahethites. And the families of Kirjath-jearim ; the Ithrites, and the Puhites,
and the Shumathites, and the Mishraites ; of them came the Zareathites, and the
Eshtaulites. The sons of Salma ; Bethlehem, and the Netophathites, Ataroth, the
house of Joab, and half of the Manahethites, the Zorites. And the families of the
scribes which dwelt at Jabez ; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites.
These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab. "
31693 "And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child
is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel ; and for a sign which shall
be spoken against ; (yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also ;) that
the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. � And there was one Anna, a
prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher : she was of a great
age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity ; and she was a
widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but
served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant
gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for
redemption in Jerusalem. "
7240 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were
twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. For Joshua drew not his hand back,
wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the
inhabitants of Ai. 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. And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation unto
this day. And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide : and as soon as
the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the
tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a
great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
38323 and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and
quake :) but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general
assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the
Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the
mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better
things than that of Abel. � See that ye refuse not him that speaketh : for if they
escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if
we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven : whose voice then shook the
earth : but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only,
but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those
things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot
be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let
us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear :
for our God is a consuming fire.
13751 "And Solomon determined to build a house for the name of the Lord, and a
house for his kingdom. And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear
burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six
hundred to oversee them. 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 a
house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. Behold, I build a house to the name
of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense,
and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening,
on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the Lord our
God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. And the house which I build is
great : for great is our God above all gods. But who is able to build him a house,
seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him ? who am I then, that I
should build him a house, save only to burn sacrifice before him ? Send me now
therefore 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 with the cunning
men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
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, even to prepare me timber in abundance : for the house
which I am about to build shall be wonderful great. And, behold, I will give to thy
servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and
twenty thousand "
10974 "And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many
: neither was the weight of the brass found out. � And Solomon made all the vessels
that pertained unto the house of the Lord : the altar of gold, and the table of
gold, whereupon the showbread was, and the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the
right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the
lamps, and the tongs of gold, and the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and
the spoons, and the censers of pure gold ; and the hinges of gold, both for the
doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to
wit, of the temple. � So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the
house of the Lord. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had
dedicated ; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the
treasures of the house of the Lord. "
10775 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. Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built
unto the name of the Lord, until those days.
13726 "And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord
his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. � Then Solomon spake unto all
Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to
every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. So Solomon, and all the
congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon ; for there was
the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had
made in the wilderness. But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim
to the place which David had prepared for it : for he had pitched a tent for it at
Jerusalem. Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of
Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the Lord : and Solomon and the
congregation sought unto it. And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before
the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand
burnt offerings upon it. � In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto
him, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great
mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 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. "

hands.
9076 "And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As
for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. � 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. And Saul said,
Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt
offering. 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. And Samuel said, What hast thou done ? And Saul said, Because I saw
that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days
appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash ;
therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have
not made supplication unto the Lord : I forced myself therefore, and offered a
burnt offering. 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. But now thy kingdom
shall not continue : the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the
Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept
that which the Lord commanded thee. 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. And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were
present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin : but the Philistines encamped in
Michmash. "
31460 "And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with
the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him
away, and delivered him to Pilate. And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the
Jews ? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. And the chief priests
accused him of many things ; but he answered nothing. "
107 "And surely your blood of your lives will I require : at the hand of every
beast will I require it, and at the hand of man ; at the hand of every man�s
brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man�s blood, by man shall
his blood be shed : for in the image of God made he man. And you, be ye fruitful,
and multiply ; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. � And God
spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my
covenant with you, and with your seed after you ; and with every living creature
that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with
you ; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will
establish my covenant with you ; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the
waters of a flood ; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
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 : I do set my
bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the
earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow
shall be seen in the cloud : 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. 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. 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. "

the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest�s office, even
Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron�s sons. And thou shalt make holy
garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty. And thou shalt speak unto
all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they
may make Aaron�s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the
priest�s office. And these are the garments which they shall make ; a breastplate,
and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle : and they
shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister
unto me in the priest�s office. "
41 "And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it
to thee ; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. Thus did Noah according
to all that God commanded him, so did he. "
18744 "and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary : who is so
great a God as our God ? Thou art the God that doest wonders : thou hast declared
thy strength among the people. Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the
sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee ;
they were afraid : the depths also were troubled. The clouds poured out water : the
skies sent out a sound : thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder
was in the heaven : the lightnings lightened the world : the earth trembled and
shook. Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps
are not known. Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine
eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect ; and in thy book all my members
were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of
them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God ! How great is the sum of
them ! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand : when I
awake, I am still with thee. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God : depart from
me therefore, ye bloody men. For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine
enemies take thy name in vain. Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee ? And am
not I grieved with those that rise up against thee ? I hate them with perfect
hatred : I count them mine enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart : try me,
and know my thoughts : and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the
way everlasting. "
18546 "and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let
their eyes be darkened, that they see not ; and make their loins continually to
shake. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold
of them. Let their habitation be desolate ; and let none dwell in their tents. For
they persecute him whom thou hast smitten ; and they talk to the grief of those
whom thou hast wounded. Add iniquity unto their iniquity : and let them not come
into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not
be written with the righteous. But I am poor and sorrowful : let thy salvation, O
God, set me up on high. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify
him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock
that hath horns and hoofs. The humble shall see this, and be glad : and your heart
shall live that seek God. For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his
prisoners. Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that
moveth therein. For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah : that
they may dwell there, and have it in possession. The seed also of his servants
shall inherit it : and they that love his name shall dwell therein. "

11515 "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. 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. � 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 ? And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of
hosts : for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down 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. 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 : and after the earthquake a fire ; but the Lord was not in the fire
: and after the fire a still small voice. 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 ? And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts : because
the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down 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. And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the
wilderness of Damascus : and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over
Syria : 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. "
28910 "And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is
wakened out of his sleep, and said unto me, What seest thou ? And I said, I have
looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and
his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top
thereof : and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the
other upon the left side thereof. So I answered and spake to the angel that talked
with me, saying, What are these, my lord ? Then the angel that talked with me
answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be ? And I said, No, my
lord. 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. Who art thou, O great mountain ? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain
: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace,
grace unto it. Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 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. For who hath
despised the day of small things ? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the
plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven ; they are the eyes of the Lord,
which run to and fro through the whole earth. "
7875 "And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into
the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their
enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the
Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn unto them : and they were greatly
distressed. � Nevertheless the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of
the hand of those that spoiled them. And yet they would not hearken unto their
judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them :
they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the
commandments of the Lord ; but they did not so. And when the Lord raised them up
judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of
their enemies all the days of the judge : for it repented the Lord because of their
groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. And it came to
pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more
than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto
them ; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. And the
anger of the Lord was hot against Israel ; and he said, Because that this people
hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not
hearkened unto my voice ; I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them
of the nations which Joshua left when he died : that through 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. Therefore the Lord left those nations, without driving
them out hastily ; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. "
12149 "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, all their days. And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened unto
him : for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed
them. (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. Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam,
who made Israel sin, but walked therein : and there remained the grove also in
Samaria.) Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and
ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen ; for the king of Syria had destroyed them,
and had made them like the dust by threshing. 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 ? And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers ; and they
buried him in Samaria : and Joash his son reigned in his stead. "

34648 "And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had
also received the word of God. And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that
were of the circumcision contended with him, saying, Thou wentest in to men
uncircumcised, and didst eat with them. But Peter rehearsed the matter from the
beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying, I was in the city of Joppa
praying : and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descend, as it had been
a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners ; and it came even to me : "

5189 "And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast
ridden ever since I was thine unto this day ? was I ever wont to do so unto thee ?
And he said, Nay. � Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel
of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand : and he bowed
down his head, and fell flat on his face. And the angel of the Lord said unto him,
Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times ? Behold, I went out to
withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me : and the ass saw me, and
turned from me these three times : unless she had turned from me, surely now also I
had slain thee, and saved her alive. 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. 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. � And when
Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab,
which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast. 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 honor ? And Balaam said unto
Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee : have I now any power at all to say any thing ? the
word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak. And Balaam went with Balak,
and they came unto Kirjath-huzoth. And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to
Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. "

hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land : begin to possess it, and
contend with him in battle. This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the
fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear
report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
28955 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. Then cried he upon me, and spake unto
me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit
in the north country.

5739 "And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of
Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and

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. And if

tribe whereunto they are received : so shall their inheritance be taken away from
the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. � And Moses commanded the children of
Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph
hath said well. 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. So shall not the
inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe : for every one of
the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his
fathers. 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 enjoy every man the inheritance of his
fathers. "

the Lord was precious in those days ; there was no open vision. "

Jerusalem ; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto
this day. "
8536 "And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities
twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah,
which were numbered seven hundred chosen men. Among all this people there were
seven hundred chosen men lefthanded ; every one could sling stones at a hair
breadth, and not miss. And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four
hundred thousand men that drew sword : all these were men of war. � And the
children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of
God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of
Benjamin ? And the Lord said, Judah shall go up first. � And the children of Israel
rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. And the men of Israel went out
to battle against Benjamin ; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight
against them at Gibeah. And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and
destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand
men. And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set their battle
again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day. (And
the children of Israel went up and wept before the Lord until even, and asked
counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of
Benjamin my brother ? And the Lord said, Go up against him.) � And the children of
Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. 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.
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the
house of God, and wept, and sat there before the "
8442 "And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men
of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it ; and
they said unto them, Go, search the land : who when they came to mount Ephraim, to
the house of Micah, they lodged there. When they were by the house of Micah, they
knew the voice of the young man the Levite : and they turned in thither, and said
unto him, Who brought thee hither ? and what makest thou in this place ? and what
hast thou here ? And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and
hath hired me, and I am his priest. 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. And
the priest said unto them, Go in peace : before the Lord is your way wherein ye go.
� Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were
therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and
secure ; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in
any thing ; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol : and their brethren said
unto them, What say ye ? And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them : for
we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good : and are ye still ? be not
slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land. When ye go, ye shall come unto a
people secure, and to a large land : for God hath given it into your hands ; a
place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth. � And there went
from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six
hundred men appointed with weapons of war. And they went up, and pitched in
Kirjath-jearim, in Judah : wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this
day : behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim. "
7925 "And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when
Ehud was dead. 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. "
7937 "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. �
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-el in mount
Ephraim : and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. And she sent and
called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not
the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take
with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of
Zebulun ? 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. And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go : but
if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. And she said, I will surely go
with thee : notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine
honor ; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose,
and went with Barak to Kedesh. And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh ;
and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet : and Deborah went up with him. �
Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father-in-law of
Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of
Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh. � And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam
was gone up to mount Tabor. 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 of Kishon. 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 "
2097 "And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses ; and they
borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment : and
the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent
unto them such things as they required : and they spoiled the Egyptians. "
8291 "And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord ; and the
Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. � 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. 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. Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor
strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing : for, lo, thou shalt conceive, and
bear a son ; and no razor shall come on his head : for the child shall be a
Nazarite unto God from the womb : and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the
hand of the Philistines. Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of
God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God,
very terrible : but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name :
but he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son ; and now drink no
wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing : for the child shall be a
Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death. � Then Manoah entreated the
Lord, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto
us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. 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. "
8004 "And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord : and the Lord
delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. And the hand of Midian
prevailed against Israel : and because of the Midianites the children of Israel
made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strongholds. And so
it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and
the children of the east, even they came up against them ; and they encamped
against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza,
and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. For they came up
with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude ;
for both they and their camels were without number : and they entered into the land
to destroy it. And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites ; and
the children of Israel cried unto the Lord. � And it came to pass, when the
children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites, that the Lord
sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the
Lord God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the
house of bondage ; 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 ; "
2225 "and the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the
hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots, and when we
did eat bread to the full ; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to
kill this whole assembly with hunger. � Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I
will rain bread from heaven for you ; and the people shall go out and gather a
certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or
no. And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which
they bring in ; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 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 : 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 ? 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. � And
Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel,
Come near before the Lord : for he hath heard your murmurings. 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. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 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. "
5148 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on
this side Jordan by Jericho. And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had
done to the Amorites. And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were
many : and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. And Moab said
unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about
us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was
king of the Moabites at that time. He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son
of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people,
to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt : Behold, they
cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me :
14590 "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. And
Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of
the Lord : and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace
offerings, and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers. � And the whole
assembly took counsel to keep other seven days : and they kept other seven days
with gladness. For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation 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. 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. 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. Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the
people : and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling
place, even unto heaven. "
14780 "And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time,
and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. And there was no passover like to
that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet ; neither did all the kings
of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites,
and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. In
the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept. "
13252 "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. �
And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the
singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by
lifting up the voice with joy. 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 ; and with them their brethren of the second
degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab,
and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-
edom, and Jeiel, the porters. So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were
appointed to sound with cymbals of brass ; and Zechariah, and Aziel, and
Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with
psalteries on Alamoth ; and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom,
and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel. And Chenaniah, chief
of the Levites, was for song : he instructed about the song, because he was
skilful. And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. And Shebaniah, and
Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer,
the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God : and Obed-edom and
Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark. � 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. And it came to pass, when God helped the
Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven
bullocks and seven rams. 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 : David also had upon him an ephod of linen. "
7162 "And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are 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. And ye, in any wise keep
yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take
of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. But all
the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the
Lord : they shall come into the treasury of the Lord. So the people shouted when
the priests blew with the trumpets : and it came to pass, when the people heard the
sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell
down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him,
and they took the city. And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both
man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the
sword. � But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go
into the harlot�s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as
ye sware unto her. And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out
Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had ; and
they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel. 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. And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father�s household,
and all that she had ; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day ; because she
hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. � And Joshua adjured
them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and
buildeth this city Jericho : he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn,
and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. "

play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the
cockatrice� den. 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. �
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of
the people ; to it shall the Gentiles seek : and his rest shall be glorious. � And
it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the
second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from
Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from
Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. 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. The envy also
of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off : Ephraim
shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. But they shall fly upon the
shoulders of the Philistines toward the west ; they shall spoil them of the east
together : they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab ; and the children of Ammon
shall obey them. And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian
sea ; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall
smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. And there shall be a
highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria ; like as
it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. "
1715 "And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river ; and her
maidens walked along by the river�s side : and when she saw the ark among the
flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child
: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one
of the Hebrews� children. Then said his sister to Pharaoh�s daughter, Shall I go
and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee
? And Pharaoh�s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child�s
mother. 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. And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh�s daughter, and he became
her son. And she called his name Moses [drawn out] : and she said, Because I drew
him out of the water. "

reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. Then sat
Solomon upon the throne of David his father ; and his kingdom was established
greatly. "

with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

door toward the north, and another door toward the south : and the breadth of the
place that was left was five cubits round about. � Now the building that was before
the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad ; and the
wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof

of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side : it was made through all

trees made, and on the wall of the temple. � The posts of the temple were squared,

border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of

Beth-arabah ; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben : and
the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking
toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side
of the river : and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the
goings out thereof were at En-rogel : and the border went up by the valley of the

all his words before the Lord in Mizpeh. � And Jephthah sent messengers unto the
king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art

they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan : now
therefore restore those lands again peaceably. And Jephthah sent messengers again
unto the king of the children of Ammon : and said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah,
Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon : but
when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea,
and came to Kadesh ; then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let
me, I pray thee, pass through thy land : but the king of Edom would not hearken
thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab ; but he would not
consent : and Israel abode in Kadesh. Then they went along 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 pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the
border of Moab : for Arnon was the border of Moab. 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 into my place. But Sihon trusted not Israel to
pass through his coast : but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in
Jahaz, and fought against Israel. And the Lord God of Israel delivered Sihon and
all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them : so Israel possessed
all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country. "

were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto
them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the Lord God of
Israel, did eat, and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy : for

them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

earth : and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the
bottomless pit ; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great
furnace ; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth : and unto them was given
power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that
they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any
tree ; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And
to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be
tormented five months : and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he
striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it ; and
shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. � And the shapes of the
locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle ; and on their heads were as it
were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair
as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron ; and the sound of their wings was as
the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like
unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails : and their power was to hurt
men five months. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the
bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue
hath his name Apollyon. � One woe is past ; and, behold, there come two woes more
hereafter. � And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns
of the golden altar which is before God, "
3052 and the five pillars of it with their hooks : and he overlaid their chapiters
and their fillets with gold : but their five sockets were of brass.
2675 "And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper : they shall be set in
gold in their inclosings. And the stones shall be with the names of the children of
Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet ; every
one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes. And thou shalt make
upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathed work of pure gold. And thou
shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on
the two ends of the breastplate. And thou shalt put the two wreathed chains of gold
in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate. And the other two ends
of the two wreathed chains thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the
shoulderpieces of the ephod before it. And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and
thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof,
which is in the side of the ephod inward. And two other rings of gold thou shalt
make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the
forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle
of the ephod. And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the
rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of
the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod. And Aaron shall
bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his
heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord
continually. And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the
Thummim ; and they shall be upon Aaron�s heart, when he goeth in before the Lord :
and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before
the Lord continually. � And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue. "
10933 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a
row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord, and for the
porch of the house.
35208 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on
the mouth. Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall : for
sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to
the law ? And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God�s high priest ? Then said
Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest : for it is written, Thou
shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. � But when Paul perceived that
the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council,
Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee : of the hope and
resurrection of the dead I am called in question. And when he had so said, there
arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees : and the multitude was
divided. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor
spirit : but the Pharisees confess both. And there arose a great cry : and the
scribes that were of the Pharisees� part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil
in this man : but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight
against God. And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing
lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go
down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle. �
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul :
for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at
Rome.
24375 "and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be
defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they
have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink
offerings unto other gods. � Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, 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, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Behold, I will
bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced
against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my
words. "
14314 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. Forty and two
years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem.
His mother�s name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. He also walked in the
ways of the house of Ahab : for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the Lord like the house of Ahab : for they
were his counselors, after the death of his father, to his destruction.
29010 "and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go
speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts : I will go also.
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in
Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; In those
days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of
the nations, even shall 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. "
15803 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of
the sea. And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration 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 ? For Mordecai the Jew was
next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude
of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his
seed.
13966 And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the Lord, and
to the king�s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers : and there were none
such seen before in the land of Judah. � And king Solomon gave to the queen of
Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which she had brought unto
the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
12628 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father�s brother king in his
stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
25520 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the
land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land. � This is
the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive : in the seventh year three
thousand Jews and three and twenty : in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he
carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons : in the
three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan 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.
15774 "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 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. 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. And the king commanded it so to be done : and the decree
was given at Shushan ; and they hanged Haman�s ten sons. For the Jews that were in
Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar,
and slew three hundred men at Shushan ; but on the prey they laid not their hand. "
11912 "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. 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. And it came to
pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes ; and he
passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth
within upon his flesh. Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of
Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day. � 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 him fast at the door : is not the sound of his master�s feet
behind him ? And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down
unto him : and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord ; what should I wait for
the Lord any longer ? "
15711 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. And the king�s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman
standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. So Haman came in. And
the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to
honor ? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor
more than to myself ? And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king
delighteth to honor, let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear,
and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his
head : and let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king�s
most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to
honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim
before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.
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. Then took Haman the apparel and
the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of
the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the
king delighteth to honor. � And Mordecai came again to the king�s gate. But Haman
hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. And Haman told Zeresh
his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise
men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before
whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely
fall before him.
12547 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of
Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of
Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the
prophets, and all the people, both small and great : and he read in their ears all
the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord. And
the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the
Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all
their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were
written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
7903 And the land had rest forty years : and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
4111 "And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell
therein in safety. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year ?
behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase : then I will command my
blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three
years. And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth
year ; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store. The land shall not
be sold for ever : for the land is mine ; for ye are strangers and sojourners with
me. And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the
land. � If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession,
and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his
brother sold. And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem
it ; then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus
unto the man to whom he sold it ; that he may return unto his possession. But if he
be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand
of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee : and in the jubilee it shall
go out, and he shall return unto his possession. � 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 ; within a full year may he redeem it. And if it be not redeemed within the
space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be
established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations : it shall
not go out in the jubilee. But the houses of the villages which have no wall round
about them shall be counted as the fields of the country : they may be redeemed,
and they shall go out in the jubilee. "
1082 and the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to
thy seed after thee will I give the land. And God went up from him in the place
where he talked with him. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked
with him, even a pillar of stone : and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he
poured oil thereon. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with
him, Beth-el.
22303 "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 ; and shall
consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body :
and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth. And the rest of the trees of
his forest shall be few, that a child may write them. � And it shall come to pass
in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as 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. The remnant shall return, even the remnant
of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the
sea, yet a remnant of them shall return : the consumption decreed shall overflow
with righteousness. For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even
determined, in the midst of all the land. � Therefore thus saith the Lord God of
hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian : he shall
smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner
of Egypt. For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine
anger in their destruction. And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb : and as his rod was upon
the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. And it shall come to
pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and
his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the
anointing. � He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron ; at Michmash he hath laid
up his carriages : they are gone over the passage : they have taken up their
lodging at Geba ; Ramah is afraid ; Gibeah of Saul is fled. "
22093 "And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men
shall be made low ; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols
he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into
the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,
when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. � In that day a man shall cast his
idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to
worship, to the moles and to the bats ; to go into the clefts of the rocks, and
into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his
majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease ye from man, whose
breath is in his nostrils : for wherein is he to be accounted of ? "
359 "And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre : and he sat in the
tent door in the heat of the day ; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo,
three men stood by him : and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent
door, and bowed himself toward the ground, and said, My Lord, if now I have found
favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant : let a little
water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the
tree : and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts ; after that
ye shall pass on : for therefore are ye come to your sevant. And they said, So do,
as thou hast said. And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make
ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the
hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave
it unto a young man ; and he hasted to dress it. 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. � And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife ? And
he said, Behold, in the tent. "
693 "And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt ; dwell in
the land which I shall tell thee of. 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
countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father ; and
I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy
seed all these countries ; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed : because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my
commandments, my statutes, and my laws. � And Isaac dwelt in Gerar. And the men of
the place asked him of his wife ; and he said, She is my sister : for he feared to
say, She is my wife ; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for
Rebekah ; because she was fair to look upon. 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. 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. 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. And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his
wife shall surely be put to death. � Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in
the same year a hundredfold : and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great,
and went forward, and grew until he became very great : for he had possession of
flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants : and the Philistines
envied him. For 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. "
3226 "And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of
the congregation, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If
any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the
cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. � If his offering be a burnt sacrifice
of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish : he shall offer it of his own
voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.
And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering ; and it shall be
accepted for him to make atonement for him. And he shall kill the bullock before
the Lord : and the priests, Aaron�s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the
blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation. And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. And
the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in
order upon the fire : and the priests, Aaron�s sons, shall lay the parts, the head,
and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar :
but his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water : and the priest shall burn all
on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor
unto the Lord. � And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of
the goats, for a burnt sacrifice ; he shall bring it a male without blemish. "
15 "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept ; and
he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the rib,
which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the
man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh : she shall
be called Woman [heb. Isha], because she was taken out of Man [heb. Ish]. Therefore
shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife : and
they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were
not ashamed. "
13 "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. And the Lord God
planted a garden eastward in Eden ; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the
sight, and good for food ; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and
the tree of knowledge of good and evil. � And a river went out of Eden to water the
garden ; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the
first is Pison : that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there
is gold ; and the gold of that land is good : there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
And the name of the second river is Gihon : the same is it that compasseth the
whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel : that is it
which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. � And
the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to
keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden
thou mayest freely eat : 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. � And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone ; I will
make him a help meet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast
of the field, and every fowl of the air ; and brought them unto Adam to see what he
would call them : and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the
name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field ; but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him. "
4993 And the Lord said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father�s house with
thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary : and thou and thy sons with thee
shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood. And thy brethren also of the tribe of
Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto
thee, and minister unto thee : but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister
before the tabernacle of witness. And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of
all the tabernacle : only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and
the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die. And they shall be joined unto thee,
and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of
the tabernacle : and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
11004 "And the Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to
build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house ; but thy son that shall come forth out
of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. And the Lord hath performed
his word that he spake, and 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 a house for the name
of the Lord God of Israel. I have set there 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. � 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 : and
he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on
earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before
thee with all their heart : who hast kept with thy servant David my father that
thou promisedst him : thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with
thine hand, as it is this day. Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy
servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee
a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel ; so that thy children take heed
to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me. And now, O
God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy
servant David my father. � But will God indeed dwell on the earth ? behold, the
heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee ; how much less this house that I
have builded ? 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 today : "
11068 "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. And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in
integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have
commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments ; then I will establish
the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father,
saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. But if ye shall
at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my
commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other
gods, and worship them ; 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 people : and at
this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and
shall hiss ; and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to
this house ? And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who
brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon
other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them : therefore hath the Lord
brought upon them all this evil. "
7203 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 :
6157 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that
they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto
them.
2872 And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people
which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt,
1999 "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 show these my signs before him :
and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son�s son, what things
I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them ; that ye may
know how that I am the Lord. � And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said
unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to
humble thyself before me ? let my people go, that they may serve me. Else, if thou
refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring the locusts into thy
coast : and they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot 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 : and they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy
servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians ; which neither thy fathers, nor thy
fathers� fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this
day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh. � 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 ?
"
2911 "And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the
first : and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables,
which thou brakest. And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto
mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. 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. 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 the two
tables of stone. And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and
proclaimed the name of the Lord. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed,
The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in
goodness and truth, 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, unto
the third and to the fourth generation. And Moses made haste, and bowed his head
toward the earth, and worshipped. And he said, If now I have found grace in thy
sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us ; for it is a stiffnecked
people ; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. �
And he said, Behold, I make a covenant : before all thy people I will do marvels,
such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation : and all the people
among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord : for it is a terrible thing
that I will do with thee. "
1864 "And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh ; and
Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. Thou shalt speak all that I command thee ;
and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel
out of his land. "
3941 "And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and
say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people : but for
his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and
for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, and for his sister a
virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband ; for her may he be
defiled. But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to
profane himself. 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. "
2028 "And the Lord said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh,
and upon Egypt ; afterward he will let you go hence : "
44 "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. Of every clean beast thou
shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female : and of beasts that are not
clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male
and the female ; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. For yet seven
days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights ; and
every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the
earth. And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him. � And Noah was
six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 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. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and
of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, there went in two and
two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. And
it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
� In the six hundredth year of Noah�s life, in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up,
and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days
and forty nights. "
9202 "And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I
have rejected him from reigning over Israel ? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I
will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite : for I have provided me a king among his
sons. And Samuel said, How can I go ? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the
Lord said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.
And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do : and thou
shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. And Samuel did that which the Lord
spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming,
and said, Comest thou peaceably ? 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. � And it came to
pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord�s
anointed is before him. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance,
or on the height of his stature ; because I have refused him : for the Lord seeth
not as man seeth ; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh
on the heart. Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he
said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he
said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to
pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these. "
11648 "And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at
Ramoth-gilead ? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. And
there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade
him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith ? And he said, I will go forth, and I
will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt
persuade him, and prevail also : go forth, and do so. 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. � But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near,
and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the Lord
from me to speak unto thee ? And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day,
when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. 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 ; 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. And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the Lord hath not spoken
by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you. � So the king of Israel
and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. And the king of Israel
said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle ; but put
thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the
battle. But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule
over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the
king of Israel. 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. "
10106 "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. The rich
man had exceeding many flocks and herds : 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 meat, and drank of his own
cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. And there came a
traveler 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. "
28892 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall
choose Jerusalem again. � Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord : for he is
raised up out of his holy habitation.
13436 "And the Lord spake unto Gad, David�s seer, saying, Go and tell David,
saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things : choose thee one of them,
that I may do it unto thee. So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the
Lord, Choose thee either three years� famine ; or three months to be destroyed
before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee ; or else
three days the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel
of the Lord destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise
thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. 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 : but let me not fall into the hand of man. � So the Lord sent
pestilence upon Israel : and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. And God
sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it : and as he was destroying, the Lord
beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It
is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the
threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the
angel of the Lord stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in
his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who
were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. 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 evil indeed ; but as for these sheep, what have they done ? let thine hand, I
pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father�s house ; but not on thy
people, that they should be plagued. � Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to
say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the Lord in the
threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. And David went up at the saying of Gad, which
he spake in the name of the Lord. "
3769 "And the Lord spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when
they offered before the Lord, and died ; 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. Thus shall Aaron come into the holy
place ; with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his
flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he
be attired : these are holy garments ; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water,
and so put them on. And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel
two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. � And
Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make
an atonement for himself, and for his house. And he shall take the two goats, and
present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And
Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats ; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot
for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord�s lot fell,
and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the
scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him,
and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. � And Aaron shall bring the
bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for
himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is
for himself : "
2044 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
3599 "And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, When a man shall have in
the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of
his flesh like the plague of leprosy ; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the
priest, or unto one of his sons the priests : and the priest shall look on the
plague in the skin of the flesh : and when the hair in the plague is turned white,
and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of
leprosy : and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean. If the
bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight 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 : and the priest shall look on him the seventh
day : and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread
not in the skin ; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more : and the
priest shall look on him again the seventh day : and, behold, if the plague be
somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce
him clean : it is but a scab : and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. But if
the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest
for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again : and if the priest see
that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean : it is a leprosy. � When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall
be brought unto the priest ; and the priest shall see him : and, behold, if the
rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick
raw flesh in the rising ; "
3528 And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the
beasts that are on the earth.
3726 "And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh,
because of his issue he is unclean. 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. Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is
unclean : and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. And whosoever
toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
until the even. And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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. 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. "
4307 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Every man of the
children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their
father�s house : far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the
camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies : and Nahshon the son of Amminadab
shall be captain of the children of Judah. And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. And those
that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar : and Nethaneel the son
of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar. And his host, and those that
were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. Then the
tribe of Zebulun : and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children of
Zebulun.
4412 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Take the sum of the
sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of
their fathers, from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all
that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the
congregation, about the most holy things. And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron
shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the
ark of testimony with it : and shall put thereon the covering of badgers� skins,
and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves
thereof. And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put
thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal : and
the continual bread shall be thereon : and they shall spread upon them a cloth of
scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers� skins, and shall put in the
staves thereof. And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of
the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil
vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it : and they shall put it and all
the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers� skins, and shall put it upon a
bar.
5032 "And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, This is the ordinance
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. And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he
may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face : and
Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her
blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times. And one shall
burn the heifer in his sight ; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her
dung, shall he burn : and the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and
scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. "
4085 "And the Lord spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 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. Six years thou shalt sow thy
field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof
; but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for
the Lord : thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. That which
groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the
grapes of thy vine undressed : for it is a year of rest unto the land. "
5693 "And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho,
saying, Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites, of the
inheritance of their possession, cities to dwell in ; and ye shall give also unto
the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them. And the cities shall they have
to dwell in ; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their
goods, and for all their beasts. And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give
unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand
cubits round about. And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two
thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side
two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits ; and the city shall
be in the midst : this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. And among the
cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge,
which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither : and to them ye
shall add forty and two cities. So all the cities which ye shall give to the
Levites shall be forty and eight cities : them shall ye give with their suburbs.
And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of
Israel : from them that have many ye shall give many ; but from them that have few
ye shall give few : every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according
to his inheritance which he inheriteth. "
4652 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month
of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, Let the
children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season. In the
fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season :
according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof,
shall ye keep it. And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should
keep the passover. And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first
month at even in the wilderness of Sinai : according to all that the Lord commanded
Moses, so did the children of Israel. And there were certain men, who were defiled
by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day : and
they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day. And those men said unto him,
We are defiled by the dead body of a man : wherefore are we kept back, that we may
not offer an offering of the Lord in his appointed season among the children of
Israel ? And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will
command concerning you. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean
by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the
passover unto the Lord. The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall
keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. They shall leave none
of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it : according to all the ordinances
of the passover they shall keep it.
4254 "And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle
of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after
they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, Take ye the sum of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their
fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls ; from twenty
years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel : thou and
Aaron shall number them by their armies. And with you there shall be a man of every
tribe ; every one head of the house of his fathers. And these are the names of the
men that shall stand with you : of the tribe of Reuben ; Elizur the son of Shedeur.
Of Simeon ; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. Of Judah ; Nahshon the son of
Amminadab. Of Issachar ; Nethaneel the son of Zuar. Of Zebulun ; Eliab the son of
Helon. Of the children of Joseph : of Ephraim ; Elishama the son of Ammihud : of
Manasseh ; Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. Of Benjamin ; Abidan the son of Gideoni.
Of Dan ; Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. Of Asher ; Pagiel the son of Ocran. Of Gad
; Eliasaph the son of Deuel. Of Naphtali ; Ahira the son of Enan. These were the
renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of
thousands in Israel. "
1910 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith
the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me. And if thou refuse to let them
go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs : and the river shall bring
forth frogs abundantly, 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 : and the frogs shall
come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. And the Lord
spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the
streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the
land of Egypt. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt ; and the
frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their
enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. � Then Pharaoh called
for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs
from me, and from my people ; and I will let the people go, that they may do
sacrifice unto the Lord. And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me : when shall I
entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs
from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only ? "
4203 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
3913 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Again, 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 any of his seed unto Molech ; he shall surely be put
to death : the people of the land shall stone him with stones. And I will set my
face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people ; because he hath
given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he
giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not ; 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. � And the soul
that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after 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. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy : for I am the
Lord your God. And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them : I am the Lord which
sanctify you. For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely
put to death : he hath cursed his father or his mother ; his blood shall be upon
him. � And the man that committeth adultery with another man�s wife, even he that
committeth adultery with his neighbor�s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress
shall surely be put to death. 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. "
5501 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Avenge the children of Israel of the
Midianites : afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. And Moses spake unto
the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against
the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian. Of every tribe a thousand,
throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. So there were
delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve
thousand armed for war.
5397 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, and
say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a
sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season. And
thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer
unto the Lord ; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a
continual burnt offering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the
other lamb shalt thou offer at even ; and a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a
meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. It is a
continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, a
sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord. "
5661 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, and
say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan ; (this is the land that shall
fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts
thereof :) then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the
coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea
eastward : and your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and
pass on to Zin : and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-
barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon : and the border shall
fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall
be at the sea. � And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea
for a border : this shall be your west border. � And this shall be your north
border : from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor : from mount Hor
ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath ; and the goings forth
of the border shall be to Zedad : and the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the
goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan : this shall be your north border. � And ye
shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham : and the coast shall
go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain ; and the border shall
descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward : and the
border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea :
this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about. � And Moses commanded
the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot,
which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe : "
4054 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, that
they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to
burn continually. Without the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the
congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the
Lord continually : it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. He shall
order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
4466 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, that
they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and
whosoever is defiled by the dead : both male and female shall ye put out, without
the camp shall ye put them ; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof
I dwell. And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp : as
the Lord spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel. "
3354 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, If a soul sin, and commit a trespass
against the Lord, and lie unto his neighbor in that which was delivered him to
keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his
neighbor ; or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth
falsely ; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein : then it shall be,
because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took
violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was
delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, or all that about which he
hath sworn falsely ; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the
fifth part more thereto, and "
4681 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Make thee two trumpets of silver ; of
a whole piece shalt thou make them : that thou mayest use them for the calling of
the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. And when they shall blow with
them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the
princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto
thee. When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go
forward. When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the
south side shall take their journey : they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall
not sound an alarm. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the
trumpets ; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your
generations. "
3175 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, On the first day of the first month
shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. And thou shalt
put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the veil. And thou
shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order
upon it ; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. And
thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony,
and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle. And thou shalt set the altar of
the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation. And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and
the altar, and shalt put water therein. And thou shalt set up the court round
about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. "
2116 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Sanctify unto me all the firstborn,
whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of
beast : it is mine. � 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. This
day came ye out in the month Abib. And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee
into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land
flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month. Seven
days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to
the Lord. Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days ; and there shall no leavened
bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy
quarters. "
2812 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, See, I have called by name Bezaleel
the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah : and I have filled him with
the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all
manner of workmanship, to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and
in brass, and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work
in all manner of workmanship. And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son
of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan : and in the hearts of all that are wise-hearted
I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee ; the
tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat
that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle, and the table and his
furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of
incense, and the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and
his foot, and the clothes of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest,
and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest�s office, "
4784 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Send thou men, that they may search
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 ruler among them. And Moses by the
commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran : all those men were
heads of the children of Israel. And these were their names : Of the tribe of
Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
3970 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and to his sons,
that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and
that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me : I am
the Lord. Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations,
that goeth 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 my presence : I am
the Lord. What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running
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 ; 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 ; the soul which hath
touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things,
unless he wash his flesh with water. "
4615 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him,
When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the
candlestick. And Aaron did so ; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the
candlestick, as the Lord commanded Moses. And this work of the candlestick was of
beaten gold ; unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work :
according unto the pattern which the Lord had showed Moses, so he made the
candlestick. "
3810 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 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, 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 out of the camp,
and bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer
an offering 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 : to the end that the children of Israel may bring their
sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto
the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and
offer them for peace offerings unto the Lord. And the priest shall sprinkle the
blood upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto the Lord. And they shall no more offer
their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a
statute for ever unto them throughout their generations. � And thou shalt say unto
them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which
sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice, "
3869 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 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. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my
sabbaths : I am the Lord your God. Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves
molten gods : I am the Lord your God. � And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace
offerings unto the Lord, ye shall offer it at your own will. 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 in the fire. And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is
abominable ; it shall not be accepted. Therefore every one that eateth it shall
bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord ; and
that soul shall be cut off from among his people. � And when ye reap the harvest of
your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou
gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither
shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard ; thou shalt leave them for the poor
and stranger : I am the Lord your God. � Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely,
neither lie one to another. And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither
shalt thou profane the name of thy God : I am the Lord. "
4012 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be
holy convocations, even these are my feasts. Six days shall work be done : but the
seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation ; ye shall do no work
therein : it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. � These are the
feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their
seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord�s passover.
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto
the Lord : seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have
a holy convocation : ye shall do no servile work therein. But ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days : in the seventh day is a holy
convocation : ye shall do no servile work therein. � And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, 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 a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest : 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. And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the
sheaf a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the
Lord. And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled
with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a "

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 ordinances.
Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein : I am the Lord
your God. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments : which if a man
do, he shall live in them : I am the Lord. � None of you shall approach to any that
is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness : I am the Lord. The nakedness of
thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover : she is thy
mother ; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. The nakedness of thy father�s wife
shalt thou not uncover : it is thy father�s nakedness. The nakedness of thy
sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born
at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 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. The nakedness
of thy father�s wife�s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou
shalt not uncover her nakedness. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
father�s sister : she is thy father�s near kinswoman. Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy mother�s sister : for she is thy mother�s near kinswoman. Thou
shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father�s brother, thou shalt not approach to
his wife : she is thine aunt. "
and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow
of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the Lord ; he shall separate himself
from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of
strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or
dried. All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine
tree, from the kernels even to the husk. � All the days of the vow of his
separation there shall no razor come upon his head : until the days be fulfilled,
in the which he separateth himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let
the locks of the hair of his head grow. � All the days that he separateth himself
unto the Lord he shall come at no dead body. He shall not make himself unclean for
his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die :
because the consecration of his God is upon his head. All the days of his
separation he is holy unto the Lord. � And if any man die very suddenly by him, and
he hath defiled the head of his consecration ; then he shall shave his head in the
day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. And on the eighth day
he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation : "
and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give
unto you, and will make an offering by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, or a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts,
to make a sweet savor unto the Lord, of the herd, or of the flock : then shall he
that offereth his offering unto the Lord bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of
flour, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil. And the fourth part of a hin
of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or
sacrifice, for one lamb. Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two
tenth deals of flour, mingled with the third part of a hin of oil. And for a drink
offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet savor unto
the Lord. And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a
sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the Lord ; then shall he
bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour, mingled with
half a hin of oil. And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half a hin of wine,
for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord. � Thus shall it be
done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. According to the
number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their
number. All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner,
in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord. "
4978 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and
take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all
their princes according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods : write thou
every man�s name upon his rod. And thou shalt write Aaron�s name upon the rod of
Levi : for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. And thou
shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where
I will meet with you. And it shall come to pass, that the man�s rod, whom I shall
choose, shall blossom : and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the
children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. And Moses spake unto the
children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each
prince one, according to their fathers� houses, even twelve rods : and the rod of
Aaron was among their rods.
saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of
the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of
them : if the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people ;
then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without
blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering. And he shall bring the bullock unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord ; and shall lay his hand
upon the bullock�s head, and kill the bullock before the Lord. And the priest that
is anointed shall take of the bullock�s blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of
the congregation : 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. "
saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and borne a man child, then she shall be
unclean seven days ; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity
shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be
circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and
thirty days ; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until
the days of her purifying be fulfilled. But if she bear a maid child, then she
shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation : and she shall continue in the
blood of her purifying threescore and six days. � 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 tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest :
who shall offer it before the Lord, and make an atonement for her ; and she shall
be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath borne a
male or a female. And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two
turtles, or two young pigeons ; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a
sin offering : and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be
clean. "
that they bring me an offering : of every man that giveth it willingly with his
heart ye shall take my offering. And this is the offering which ye shall take of
them ; gold, and silver, and brass, "
that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over
against Baalzephon : before it shall ye encamp by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of
the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut
them in. And I will harden Pharaoh�s heart, that he shall follow after them ; and I
will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host ; that the Egyptians may know
that I am the Lord. And they did so. � And it was told the king of Egypt that the
people fled : and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the
people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from
serving us ? And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him : "
3437 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take Aaron and his sons with him, and
the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two
rams, and a basket of unleavened bread ; and gather thou all the congregation
together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Moses did as the
Lord commanded him ; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. � And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the
thing which the Lord commanded to be done. And Moses brought Aaron and his sons,
and washed them with water. 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 curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith. And he
put the breastplate upon him : also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the
Thummim. And he put the mitre upon his head ; also upon the mitre, even upon his
forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown ; as the Lord commanded
Moses. � And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that
was therein, and sanctified them. And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven
times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to
sanctify them. "
5074 "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the
assembly together, thou and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before
their eyes ; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them
water out of the rock : so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him. � And Moses and
Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them,
Hear now, ye rebels ; must we fetch you water out of this rock ? And Moses lifted
up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice : and the water came out
abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. And the Lord spake
unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the
children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land
which I have given them. This is the water of Meribah [strife] ; because the
children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them. "
3655 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, This shall be the law of the leper in
the day of his cleansing : He shall be brought unto the priest :
461 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he
had spoken.
7506 "And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the
water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho
throughout mount Beth-el, and goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and passeth along unto
the borders of Archi to Ataroth, and goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti,
unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer : and the goings out thereof
are at the sea. � So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their
inheritance. � And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their
families was thus : even the border of their inheritance on the east side was
Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper ; and the border went out toward the sea
to Michmethah on the north side ; and the border went about eastward unto
Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah ; "

he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it. "

thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall show thee ; for to the intent
that I might show them unto thee art thou brought hither : declare all that thou
seest to the house of Israel. � 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 by the cubit and a
handbreadth : so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed ; and the
height, one reed. Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and
went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one
reed broad ; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad. And
every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad ; and between the little
chambers were five cubits ; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate
within was one reed. He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. Then
measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits ; and the posts thereof, two cubits
; and the porch of the gate was inward. And the little chambers of the gate
eastward were three on this side, and three on that side ; they three were of one
measure : and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side. And he
measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits ; and the length of the
gate, thirteen cubits. The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on
this side, and the space was one cubit on that side : and the little chambers were
six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. He measured then the gate
from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another : the breadth was five
and twenty cubits, door against door. He made also posts of threescore cubits, even
unto the post of the court round about the gate. And from the face of the gate of
the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits. "

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. "

Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath. And the whole valley of the dead bodies,

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. "
7052 "And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our
business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal
kindly and truly with thee. � 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. And she said
unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you ; and hide
yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned : and afterward may ye
go your way. And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath
which thou hast made us swear. 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 bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father�s
household, home unto thee. 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. And if thou utter this our business, then we
will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. 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. � 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. So the two men
returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the
son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them : and they said unto Joshua,
Truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land ; for even all the
inhabitants of the country do faint because of us. "
8263 "And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and
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. And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with
the children of Ammon ; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their
hands. And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and
passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord "

brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son

jearim, that the time was long ; for it was twenty years : and all the house of
Israel lamented after the Lord. "

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. And
the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty
men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which
expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father�s
house. But Samson�s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his
friend.

Benjamin ; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. � And when
Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men
home, and slay, and make ready ; for these men shall dine with me at noon. And the
man did as Joseph bade ; and the man brought the men into Joseph�s house. 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. And they came near to the steward of Joseph�s house,
and they communed with him at the door of the house, and said, O sir, we came
indeed down at the first time to buy food : and it came to pass, when we came to
the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man�s money was in the mouth
of his sack, our money in full weight : and we have brought it again in our hand.
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food : we cannot tell who
put our money in our sacks. 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. 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. And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon : for they
heard that they should eat bread there. � And when Joseph came home, they brought
him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him
to the earth. And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well,
the old man of whom ye spake ? Is he yet alive ? "
16821 "and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. For his eyes are upon the
ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of
death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. For he will not lay upon
man more than right ; that he should enter into judgment with God. He shall break
in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. Therefore he
knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are
destroyed. He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others ; because
they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways : so that they
cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the
afflicted. When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble ? And when he hideth
his face, who then can behold him ? whether it be done against a nation, or against
a man only : that the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. Surely it
is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any
more : that which I see not teach thou me : if I have done iniquity, I will do no
more. Should it be according to thy mind ? He will recompense it, whether thou
refuse, or whether thou choose ; and not I : therefore speak what thou knowest. Let
men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. Job hath spoken
without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. My desire is that Job may be
tried unto the end, because of his answers for wicked men. "

And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out
Satan ? And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And
if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up
against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. No man can enter
into a strong man�s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the
strong man ; and then he will spoil his house. � Verily I say unto you, All sins
shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall
blaspheme : but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation : because they said, He hath an
unclean spirit. "
22753 "And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that
fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a
night vision. It shall even be as when a 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. "
30187 "And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying,
Hosanna to the Son of David : Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord ;
Hosanna in the highest. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was
moved, saying, Who is this ? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of
Nazareth of Galilee. "
39501 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it : and
the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. And the gates of it
shall not be shut at all by day : for there shall be no night there. And they shall
bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter
into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh
a lie : but they which are written in the Lamb�s book of life.
10803 "And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house ; and
I was delivered of a child with her in the house. And it came to pass the third day
after that 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.
And this woman�s child died in the night ; because she overlaid it. 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. 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. 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.
� 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. And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the
king. And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one,
and half to the other. Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the
king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the
living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine
nor thine, but divide it. Then the king answered and said, Give her the living
child, and in no wise slay it : she is the mother thereof. 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. "
10903 "And the other cherub was ten cubits : both the cherubim were of one measure
and one size. The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the
other cherub. And he set the cherubim within the inner house : and they stretched
forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall,
and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall ; and their wings touched
one another in the midst of the house. And he overlaid the cherubim with gold. �
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. And the floor of the
house he overlaid with gold, within and without. � And for the entering of the
oracle he made doors of olive tree : the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of
the wall. The two doors also were of olive tree ; and he carved upon them carvings
of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and
spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees. � So also made he for the
door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall. And the two
doors were of fir tree : the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two
leaves of the other door were folding. And he carved thereon cherubim and palm
trees and open flowers : and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar
beams. � In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in
the month Zif : 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. "
36876 "And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him ; insomuch that Barnabas
also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not
uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all,
If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews,
why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews ? We who are Jews by
nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the
works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus
Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of
the law : for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we
seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore
Christ the minister of sin ? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I
destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law,
that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ : nevertheless I live ; yet
not I, but Christ liveth in me : and the life which I now live in the flesh I live
by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not
frustrate the grace of God : for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is
dead in vain. "
30953 "And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither
out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. And Jesus, when he
came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they
were as sheep not having a shepherd : and he began to teach them many things. And
when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a
desert place, and now the time is far passed : send them away, that they may go
into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread : for
they have nothing to eat. 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 ? He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye ? go and see. And when
they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. And he commanded them to make all sit
down by companies upon the green grass. And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds,
and by fifties. And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked
up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to
set before them ; and the two fishes divided he among them all. And they did all
eat, and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of
the fishes. And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. "
32516 "And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners,
and eateth with them. � And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of
you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and
nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it ? And
when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh
home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with
me ; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy
shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine
just persons, which need no repentance. "
9246 "And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day ; give me a
man, that we may fight together. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the
Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. � Now David was the son of that
Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse ; and he had eight sons : and
the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul. And the three eldest
sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle : and the names of his three
sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab,
and the third Shammah. And David was the youngest : and the three eldest followed
Saul. But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father�s sheep at
Bethlehem. And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself
forty days. � And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah
of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren ;
and carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy
brethren fare, and take their pledge. � Now Saul, and they, and all the men of
Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 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 trench, as the host was going forth to
the fight, and shouted for the battle. For Israel and the Philistines had put the
battle in array, army against army. And David left his carriage in the hand of the
keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of
Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to
the same words : and David heard them. "
8872 "And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What
shall we do to the ark of the Lord ? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his
place. 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 trespass offering : then ye shall be healed,
and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you. Then said they,
What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him ? They answered,
Five golden emerods, 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. Wherefore ye
shall make images of your emerods, 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. 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 ? Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there
hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from
them : 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 trespass offering, in a coffer by the side
thereof ; and send it away, that it may go. And see, if it goeth up by the way of
his own coast 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. � And the men did so ; and took two milch kine, and tied them to
the cart, and shut up their calves at home : and they laid the ark of the Lord upon
the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods. And
the kine took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, and went along the
highway, lowing as they went, and turned not "
13085 "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. And the
battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the
archers. Then said Saul to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through
therewith ; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would
not ; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. And when his
armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. So
Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together. And when all the
men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his
sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled : and the Philistines came
and dwelt in them. � 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. And
when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor, and sent into the
land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the
people. And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in
the temple of Dagon. And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had
done to Saul, they arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and
the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under
the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days. � So Saul died for his transgression
which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he
kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire
of it ; and inquired not of the Lord : therefore he slew him, and turned the
kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. "
8847 "And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto
Ashdod. When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of
Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow,
behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. And
they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. 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 were cut off
upon the threshold ; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. 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. "
1316 "and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine
following ; for it shall be very grievous. 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. Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and
set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers
over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven
plenteous years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that come,
and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
And that food shall be for 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.

4492 "and the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no
man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with
another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth
the curse : but if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if
thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thine husband : then the
priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say
unto the woman, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the
Lord doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell ; and this water that
causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy
thigh to rot. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. � And the priest shall write
these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water : and he
shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse : and the
water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. Then the
priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman�s hand, and shall wave the
offering before the Lord, and offer it upon the altar : and the priest shall take a
handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and
afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. And when he hath made her to
drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that if she be defiled, and have done
trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter
into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot :
and the woman shall be a curse among her people. And if the woman be not defiled,
but be clean ; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. � This is the law
of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is
defiled ; "
3708 "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 ; then the priest shall
command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast
them into an unclean place without the city : and he shall cause the house to be
scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off
without the city into an unclean place : and they shall take other stones, and put
them in the place of those stones ; and he shall take other mortar, and shall
plaster the house. � And if the plague come again, and break out in the house,
after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and
after it is plastered ; then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the
plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house : it is
unclean. 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. Moreover, he that goeth into the house all the while
that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. And he that lieth in the house
shall wash his clothes ; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. �
And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not
spread in the house, after the house was plastered ; then the priest shall
pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. And he shall take to
cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop : and he shall
kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water : 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 : "
3667 "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 ; then shall the
priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean,
and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop : and the priest shall command that one of
the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. 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 : and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the
leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird
loose into the open field. And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes,
and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean : and
after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent
seven days. But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair
off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off :
and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall
be clean. � 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 deals of fine flour
for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil : and the priest that
maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things,

shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil,

fulfilled, he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation : and he shall offer his offering unto the Lord, one he lamb of the
first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace
offerings, and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,
and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and
their drink offerings. And the priest shall bring them before the Lord, and shall
offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering : and he shall offer the ram for a
sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread :
the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering. And the
Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it
in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. And the priest
shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the
basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the
Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven : and the priest shall wave
them for a wave offering before the Lord : this is holy for the priest, with the
wave breast and heave shoulder : and after that the Nazarite may drink wine. � This

his separation, besides that that his hand shall

against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which should not be
done, and are guilty ; when the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known,
then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before

their hands upon the head of the bullock before the Lord ; and the bullock shall be
killed before the Lord. And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the
bullock�s blood to the tabernacle of the congregation : and the priest shall dip
his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, even
before the veil. And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar

place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings
of the cherubim. For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of
the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above. And they
drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place
before the oracle, and they were not seen without : and there they are unto this
day. 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. And it came to pass, when the priests were come
out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the
priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud : for the glory of the
Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
6500 "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 by
their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried : and all the elders
of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the
heifer that is beheaded in the valley : and they shall answer and say, Our hands
have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. Be merciful, O Lord, unto
thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy
people of Israel�s charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them. So shalt thou put
away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is
right in the sight of the Lord. "
27328 "And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, 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 children which are of your sort ? then shall ye make me endanger my
head to the king. Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had
set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, Prove thy servants, I beseech
thee, ten days ; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Then let
our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children
that eat of the portion of the king�s meat : and as thou seest, deal with thy
servants. So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. And at
the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all
the children which did eat the portion of the king�s meat. Thus Melzar took away
the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink ; and gave them
pulse. � As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all
learning and wisdom : and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Now
at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the
prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 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. And in all matters of wisdom and
understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than
all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. And Daniel continued
even unto the first year of king Cyrus. "
26005 "And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the
twilight, and shall go forth : they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby
: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes. 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. And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and
all his bands ; and I will draw out the sword after them. And they shall know that
I am the Lord, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in
the countries. But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine,
and from the pestilence ; that they may declare all their abominations among the
heathen whither they come ; and they shall know that I am the Lord. � Moreover the
word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and
drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness ; and say unto the people of
the land, Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land
of Israel ; They shall eat their bread with 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. And the cities that are inhabited
shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate ; and ye shall know that I am
the Lord. � And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, what is that
proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and
every vision faileth ? 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. For there

Israel. "
3377 "And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat : with unleavened
bread shall it be eaten in the holy place ; in the court of the tabernacle of the
congregation they shall eat it. It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it
unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire ; it is most holy, as is
the sin offering, and as the trespass offering. All the males among the children of
Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations
concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire : every one that toucheth them
shall be holy. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, This is the offering 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 meat offering perpetual,
half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night. In a pan it shall be made
with oil ; and when it is baked, thou shalt bring it in : and the baked pieces of
the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savor unto the Lord. And the priest
of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it : it is a statute for ever
unto the Lord ; it shall be wholly burnt. For every meat offering for the priest
shall be wholly burnt : it shall not be eaten. � And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, 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. The priest that offereth it for sin
shall eat it : in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle
of the congregation. 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 the holy place. But the earthen vessel wherein it is
sodden shall be broken : and if it be sodden in a brazen pot, it shall be both
scoured, and rinsed in water. All the males among the priests shall eat thereof :
it is most holy. "
28519 "And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many
people, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks
of sheep : who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and
none can deliver. Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all
thine enemies shall be cut off. � And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the
Lord, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy
thy chariots : and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy
strongholds : and I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand ; and thou shalt
have no more soothsayers : thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing
images out of the midst of thee ; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine
hands. And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee : so will I destroy
thy cities. And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such
as they have not heard. "
26446 "And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of
adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood ; because they are
adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. � For thus saith the Lord God ; I will
bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled. And the
company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords ; they
shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. Thus
will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to
do after your lewdness. 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. "
15459 And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem : the rest of the people also
cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts
to dwell in other cities. And the people blessed all the men, that willingly
offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem. � Now these are the chief of the province
that dwelt in Jerusalem : but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his
possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the
Nethinim, and the children of Solomon�s servants.
4096 "And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you ; for thee, and for thy
servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that
sojourneth with thee, and for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land,
shall all the increase thereof be meat. � And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of
years unto thee, seven times seven years ; and the space of the seven sabbaths of
years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of
the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement
shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the
fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the
inhabitants thereof : it shall be a jubilee unto you ; and ye shall return every
man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubilee
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 thy vine undressed. For it
is the jubilee ; it shall be holy unto you : ye shall eat the increase thereof out
of the field. � In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his
possession. And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buyest aught of thy
neighbor�s hand, ye shall not oppress one another : according to the number of
years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, and according unto the
number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee : according to the multitude
of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of
years thou shalt diminish the price of it : for according to the number of the
years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. Ye shall not therefore oppress one
another ; but thou shalt fear thy God : for I am the Lord your God. � Wherefore ye
shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them ; and ye shall dwell in
the land in safety. "
21305 "and the scorner is an abomination to men. If thou faint in the day of
adversity, thy strength is small. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn
unto death, and those that are ready to be slain ; if thou sayest, Behold, we knew
it not ; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it ? And he that keepeth thy
soul, doth not he know it ? And shall not he render to every man according to his
works ? My son, eat thou honey, because it is good ; and the honeycomb, which is
sweet to thy taste : so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul : when thou
hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut
off. Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous ; spoil not
his resting place : for a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again : but
the wicked shall fall into mischief. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let
not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth : lest the Lord see it, and it displease
him, and he turn away his wrath from him. Fret not thyself because of evil men,
neither be thou envious at the wicked ; for there shall be no reward to the evil
man ; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. My son, fear thou the Lord and the
king : and meddle not with them that are given to change : for their calamity shall
rise suddenly ; and who knoweth the ruin of them both ? These things also belong to
the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. He that saith unto
the wicked, Thou art righteous ; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor
him : but to them that rebuke him shall be delight, "

these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
7571 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children
of Simeon according to their families : and their inheritance was within the
inheritance of the children of Judah. And they had in their inheritance Beer-sheba,
or Sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Azem, and Eltolad, and
Bethul, and Hormah,
34920 And the sergeants told these words unto the magistrates : and they feared,
when they heard that they were Romans. And they came and besought them, and brought
them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. 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.

it was cold ; and they warmed themselves : and Peter stood with them, and warmed

10188 "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. � And
it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying,
Absalom hath slain all the king�s sons, and there is not one of them left. Then the
king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth ; and all his servants
stood by with their clothes rent. And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David�s brother,
answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men
the king�s sons ; for Amnon only is dead : for by the appointment of Absalom this
hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. 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. � 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 hillside behind him. And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the
king�s sons come : as thy servant said, so it is. 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. � But
Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David
mourned for his son every day. So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there
three years. And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom : for he
was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. "
9330 "And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David. And
Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a
hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king�s enemies. But Saul
thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 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. Wherefore 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. And Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with
David, and that Michal Saul�s daughter loved him. And Saul was yet the more afraid
of David ; and Saul became David�s enemy continually. � Then the princes of the
Philistines went forth : and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David
behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul ; so that his name was
much set by. "
19214 and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness :
when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I
grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart,
and they have not known my ways : unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should
not enter into my rest.

shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh. � This is the oblation that ye shall
offer ; the sixth part of an ephah of a homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth
part of an ephah of a homer of barley : concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath
of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is a homer of
ten baths ; for ten baths are a homer : and one lamb out of the flock, out of two
hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel ; for a meat offering, and for a burnt
offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord
God. All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel.
And it shall be the prince�s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and
drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all
solemnities of the house of Israel : he shall prepare the sin offering, and the
meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make
reconciliation for the house of Israel. � 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 cleanse the sanctuary : and the priest shall take of the blood of the
sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of
the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. And so
thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him
that is simple : so shall ye reconcile the house. � 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. And upon that day shall the prince prepare for
himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering. "

your heart and with all your soul. 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. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death
; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God, which brought you
out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust
thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou
put the evil away from the midst of thee. � If thy brother, the son of thy mother,

people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die ; because he hath sought
to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of
Egypt, from the house of bondage. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do
no more any such wickedness as this is among you. � If thou shalt hear say in one

will understand knowledge. He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother,

instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. An ungodly witness
scorneth judgment : and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. Judgments are
prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
39159 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God out of the angel�s hand. And the angel took the censer, and
filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth : and there were
voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of
twenty years and upward. For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath given rest
unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever : and also unto the
Levites : they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the
service thereof. For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from
twenty years old and above : because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron
for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and
in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of
God : both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the
unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is
fried, and for all manner of measure and size ; and to stand every morning to thank
and praise the Lord, and likewise at even ; and to offer all burnt sacrifices unto
the Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number,

fathers, for every gate. And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah

dwell with thee is too strait for us. 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. And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy
servants. And he answered, I will go. So he went with them. And when they came to
Jordan, they cut down wood. But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into
the water : and he cried, and said, Alas, master ! for it was borrowed.

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. Now for a long season Israel hath been
without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. But when they
in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found
of them. And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him
that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city : for God did vex them with
all adversity. Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak : for your
work shall be rewarded. "

anger was kindled greatly. And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces,
and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers,
saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done
unto his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with
one consent. And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three
hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. And they said unto the
messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by
that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed it
to the men of Jabesh ; and they were glad. 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. And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three
companies ; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew
the Ammonites until the heat of the day : and it came to pass, that they which
remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together. � 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. And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to
death this day : for today the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel. Then said
Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kindgom there.
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. "

valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord hath
spoken. Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away : for the cities
thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein. � Cursed be he that doeth
the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from
blood. � Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees,
and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into
captivity : therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send unto him
wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break
their bottles. And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was
ashamed of Beth-el their confidence. � How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for

staff broken, and the beautiful rod ! Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come
down from thy glory, and sit in thirst ; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon
thee, and he shall destroy thy strongholds. O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the
way, and espy ; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done ?
Moab is confounded ; for it is broken down : howl and cry ; tell ye it in Arnon,

one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual :
and another company turned the way to Beth-horon : and another company turned to
the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness. �
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel : for the
Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears : but all the
Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his
coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and
for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. 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. And the garrison of the Philistines went
out to the passage of Michmash.

Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. And the king of Syria

Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 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 ? Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he
seeketh a quarrel against me. � And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had 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. So Naaman came with his horses and with his
chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 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. 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 strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. Are
not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel ?
may I not wash in them, and be clean ? So he turned and went away in a rage. "

of Jesus was there : and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee ? mine hour is not yet
come. "
13718 "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. And he
died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor : and Solomon his son
reigned in his stead. Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they
are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet,
and in the book of Gad the seer, 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. "
22907 "And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the
bulls ; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with
fatness. � For it is the day of the Lord�s vengeance, and the year of recompenses
for the controversy of Zion. And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch,
and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning
pitch. 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. But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it ; the owl
also and the raven shall dwell in it : and he shall stretch out upon it the line of
confusion, and the stones of emptiness. They shall call the nobles thereof to the
kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing. � And
thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof

the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall
cry to his fellow ; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a
place of rest. There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and
gather under her shadow : there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with
her mate. Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read : no one of these shall
fail, none shall want her mate : for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it
hath gathered them. 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. "
261 "And the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits ; and the kings of Sodom and
Gomorrah fled, and fell there ; and they that remained fled to the mountain. And
they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went
their way. And they took Lot, Abram�s brother�s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his
goods, and departed. � And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the
Hebrew ; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and
brother of Aner : and these were confederate with Abram. And when Abram heard that
his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own
house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. And he divided
himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued
them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. And he brought back all the
goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also,
and the people. "
27627 "And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true :
wherefore shut thou up the vision ; for it shall be for many days. � And I Daniel
fainted, and was sick certain days ; afterward I rose up, and did the king�s
business ; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it. "
39411 "And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters,
shall be heard no more at all in thee ; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he
be, shall be found any more in thee ; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard
no more at all in thee ; and the light of a candle 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 great men of the earth ; for by thy
sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets,

34612 "And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed,
that call not thou common. This was done thrice : and the vessel was received up
again into heaven. � Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he
had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made
inquiry for Simon�s house, and stood before the gate, and called, and asked whether
Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. While Peter thought on the
vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and
get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing : for I have sent them. Then
Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius ; and said,
Behold, I am he whom ye seek : what is the cause wherefore ye are come ? And they
said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good
report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to
send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. Then called he them in,
and lodged them. � And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain
brethren from Joppa accompanied him. And the morrow after they entered into
Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and
near friends. And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his
feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up ; I myself also
am a man. And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come
together. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man

believed they his words ; they sang his praise. They soon forgat his works ; they
waited not for his counsel : but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted
God in the desert. And he gave them their request ; but sent leanness into their
soul. They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord. The
earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. And a fire
was kindled in their company ; the flame burned up the wicked. They made a calf in
Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. Thus they changed their glory into the
similitude of an ox that eateth grass. They forgat God their saviour, which had
done great things in Egypt ; wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things
by the Red sea. 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. Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word :
but murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness :
to overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

7547 "And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at
Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there : and the land was
subdued before them. � And there remained among the children of Israel seven
tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. And Joshua said unto the
children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord
God of your fathers hath given you ? Give out from among you three men for each
tribe : and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and
describe it according to the inheritance of them ; and they shall come again to me.
And they shall divide it into seven parts : Judah shall abide in their coast on the
south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north. Ye shall
therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to
me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. But the Levites have
no part among you ; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance : and Gad,
and Reuben, and half the tribe "

pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of
Shinar ; and they dwelt there. "
32959 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. And they
began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and
forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a king. And
Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews ? And he answered him and
said, Thou sayest it. Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I
find no fault in this man. And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up
the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
11950 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God : and she
went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
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. And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God,
saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done. And it
came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life,
that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, 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. 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.
9667 "And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said
unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in
my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me. 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. But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his
servants, together with the woman, compelled him ; and he hearkened unto their
voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. And the woman had a fat
calf in the house ; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it,
and did bake unleavened bread thereof : and she brought it before Saul, and before
his servants ; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night. "
8302 "And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said unto
him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day. 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. And Manoah said, Now
let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto
him ? And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman
let her beware. 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. � And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, I pray thee, let
us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee. And the angel of the
Lord said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread : and if
thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the Lord. For Manoah knew
not that he was an angel of the Lord. And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord,
What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honor ? And the
angel of the Lord said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is
secret ? So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto
the Lord : and the angel did wondrously ; and Manoah and his wife looked on. 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 it, and fell on their faces to the ground. � But the angel of the Lord
did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel
of the Lord. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have
seen God. "

kings of the earth.
8818 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. � Now Israel went out against the
Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer : and the Philistines pitched in
Aphek. 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. 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 us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh
unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our
enemies. So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of
the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubim : and the
two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of
God. � 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.
28397 And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go
unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 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. 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.
26073 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
26157 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of
their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord ; Thus saith the Lord God ; Woe unto
the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing ! O
Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. Ye have not gone up into
the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle
in the day of the Lord. They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The
Lord saith : and the Lord hath not sent them : and they have made others to hope
that they would confirm the word. Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not
spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it ; albeit I have not
spoken ? � Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Because ye have spoken vanity, and
seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God. "

the shepherds ; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves ! should
not the shepherds feed the flocks ? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the
wool, ye kill them that are fed : but ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye
not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound
up that which was broken, "

against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy
against him, and say, Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal : and I will turn thee back, and put hooks
into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and
horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with
bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords : "
toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against
the land of Israel, and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I
am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off
from thee the righteous and the wicked. Seeing then that I will cut off from thee
the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath
against all flesh from the south to the north : that all flesh may know that I the
Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath : it shall not return any more.
Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins ; and with
bitterness sigh before their eyes. And it shall be, when they say unto thee,
Wherefore sighest thou ? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings, because it cometh
: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall
faint, and all knees shall be weak as water : behold, it cometh, and shall be
brought to pass, saith the Lord God. � Again the word of the Lord came unto me
saying, Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord ; Say, A sword, a sword
is sharpened, and also furbished : it is sharpened to make a sore slaughter ; it is
furbished that it may glitter : should we then make mirth ? it contemneth the rod
of my son, as every tree. And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be
handled : this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of
the slayer. "
toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, and say, Ye mountains of
Israel, hear the word of the Lord God ; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains
and to the hills, to the rivers and to the valleys ; Behold, I, even I, will bring
a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. And your altars shall be
desolate, and your images shall be broken : and I will cast down your slain men
before your idols. And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel
before their idols ; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. 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 images may be cut down, and your works may be
abolished. And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I
am the Lord. � Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape
the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. And
they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be
carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed
from me, and with their "
10960 "And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel : their
axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.
And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base : and the
undersetters were of the very base itself. 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 ledges thereof
and the borders thereof were of the same. For on the plates of the ledges thereof,
and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to
the proportion of every one, and additions round about. After this manner he made
the ten bases : all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. � Then made
he 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. And he put five bases on
the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house : and he set
the sea on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south. � And
Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of
doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord : the two
pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars
; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the
top of the pillars ; and four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two
rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that
were upon the pillars ; and the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases ; and one
sea, and twelve oxen under the sea. � And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins
: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the
Lord, were of bright brass. In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the
clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. "
9587 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide
himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon ? 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. And Saul pitched in the hill of
Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness,
and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness. David therefore sent out
spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed. 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 in the trench, and the
people pitched round about him. � Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the
Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go

Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shamer,
the son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi. Their
brethren also the Levites were appointed unto all manner of service of the
tabernacle of the house of God.

hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and
I should heal them. Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is
sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. And when he had said these
words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. � And Paul
dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto
him, preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord
Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. "
14297 "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. Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his
father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and
divers also of the princes of Israel. Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked in the way
of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab : for he had the daughter of
Ahab to wife : and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord. 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 light to him and to his sons for
ever. � In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and
made themselves a king. Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his
chariots with him : and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed
him in, and the captains of the chariots. So the Edomites revolted from under the
hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his
hand ; because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers. � Moreover he made high
places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit
fornication, and compelled Judah thereto. And there came a writing to him from
Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of David thy father, Because
thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa
king of Judah, 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 to the whoredoms of
the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father�s house, which
were better than thyself : behold, with a great plague will the Lord smite thy
people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods : "

his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
He made a way to his anger ; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their
life over to the pestilence ; and smote all the firstborn in Egypt ; the chief of
their strength in the tabernacles of Ham : but made his own people to go forth like
sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. And he led them on safely,
so that they feared not : but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. And he brought
them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand
had purchased. He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an
inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. Yet
they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies : but
turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers : they were turned aside
like a deceitful bow. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and
moved him to jealousy with their graven images. When God heard this, he was wroth,
and greatly abhorred Israel : so that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent
which he placed among men ; and delivered his strength into captivity, and his
glory into the enemy�s hand. He gave his people over also unto the sword ; and was
wroth with his inheritance. The fire consumed their young men ; and their maidens
were not given to marriage. Their priests fell by the sword ; "

offering, and his drink offering. � And on the second day ye shall offer twelve
young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot : and their
meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the

sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. And he smote his
enemies in the hinder parts : he put them to a perpetual reproach. Moreover he
refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim : but chose
the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. And he built his sanctuary like
high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. He chose David
also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds : from following the ewes great
with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. So
he fed them according to the integrity of his heart ; and guided them by the
skilfulness of his hands. "

30350 "And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall
hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And
because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall
endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall
be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations ; and then shall the
end come. � When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand,)
then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains : let him which is on the
housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house : neither let him which
is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck in those days ! But pray ye that your flight be
not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day : for then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be
saved : but for the elect�s sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man
shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there ; believe it not. For there shall
arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders ;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I
have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert ; go not forth : behold, he is in the secret chambers ; believe it not. For
as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west ; so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcass is, there will
the eagles be gathered together. "
35063 "And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Beroea ; and of the
Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus ; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy ; and of
Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. These going before tarried for us at Troas. And we
sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to
Troas in five days ; where we abode seven days. "
39238 "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven ; a woman clothed with the sun,
and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars : and she
being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there
appeared another wonder in heaven ; and behold a great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third
part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth : and the dragon stood
before the woman which "
31573 "And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side
of the altar of incense. And when Zechariah saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell
upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zechariah : for thy prayer is
heard ; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name
John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness ; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor
strong drink ; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother�s
womb. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. And
he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the
fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just ; to make
ready a people prepared for the Lord. And Zechariah said unto the angel, Whereby
shall I know this ? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. And
the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of
God ; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee these glad tidings. And,
behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things
shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled
in their season. And the people waited for Zechariah, and marveled that he tarried
so long in the temple. And when he came out, he could not speak unto them : and
they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple ; for he beckoned unto them,
and remained speechless. And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. � And after those
days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, "
30856 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so
that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow
: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish ?
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the
wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so
fearful ? how is it that ye have no faith ? And they feared exceedingly, and said
one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him
?
11570 "And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said,
Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the hills,
but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude
into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. And they pitched 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 a hundred thousand footmen
in one day. But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city ; and there a wall fell upon
twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. � And Ben-hadad fled, and came
into the city, into an inner chamber. And his servants said unto him, Behold now,
we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings : let us, I
pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the
king of Israel : peradventure he will save thy life. So they girded sackcloth on
their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and
said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet
alive ? he is my brother. Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing
would come from him, and did hastily catch it : and they said, Thy brother
Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him ; and he
caused him to come up into the chariot. 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. Then said Ahab, I will send
thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away. �
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbor in the word of
the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him. 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 "
30670 and there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom
I am well pleased.
34076 "And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night,
and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. Then took
they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the
manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a
garden ; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There
laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews� preparation day ; for the sepulchre
was nigh at hand. "
39357 "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked
with me, saying unto me, Come hither ; I will show unto thee the judgment of the
great whore that sitteth upon many waters ; with whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with
the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness : and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple
and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a
golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication : and
upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, babylon the great, the mother of
harlots and abominations of the earth. "
405 "And there came two angels to Sodom at even ; and Lot sat in the gate of
Sodom : and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them ; and he bowed himself with his
face toward the ground ; and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, 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 ways. And they said, Nay ; but we will abide in the
street all night. And he pressed upon 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. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the
men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from
every quarter : 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.
And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, and said, I
pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 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 ; for therefore came they
under the shadow of my roof. And they said, Stand back. And they said again, 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
came near to break the door. But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into
the house to them, and shut to the door. "
7530 "And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and
Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan ; because the daughters of Manasseh had
an inheritance among his sons : and the rest of Manasseh�s sons had the land of
Gilead. � And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before
Shechem ; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-
tappuah. Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah : but Tappuah on the border of
Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim ; and the coast descended unto the
river Kanah, southward of the river : these cities of Ephraim are among the cities
of Manasseh : the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and
the outgoings of it were at the sea : southward it was Ephraim�s, and northward it
was Manasseh�s, and the sea is his border ; and they met together in Asher on the
north, and in Issachar on the east. 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 three countries.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities ;
but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Yet it came to pass, when the children
of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute ; but did not
utterly drive them out. � And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying,
Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great
people, forasmuch as the Lord hath blessed me hitherto ? And Joshua answered them,
If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for
thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be
too narrow for thee. And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us
: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots "
10449 "And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the
son of Bichri, a Benjamite : and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in
David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse : every man to his tents, O
Israel. So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the
son of Bichri : but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to
Jerusalem. � 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
fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their
death, living in widowhood. � Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of
Judah within three days, and be thou here present. So Amasa went to assemble the
men of Judah : but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
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 us. 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. When they were at the great
stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab�s garment that he had
put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his
loins in the sheath thereof ; and as he went forth it fell out. And Joab said to
Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother ? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the
right hand to kiss him. But Amasa took no heed of the sword that was in Joab�s hand
: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the
ground, and struck him not again ; and he died. "
34580 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight
years, and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ
maketh thee whole : arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. And all that
dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and turned to the Lord.
2689 "And there shall be a hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof : it shall
have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an
habergeon, that it be not rent. And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make
pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof ;
and bells of gold between them round about : a golden bell and a pomegranate, a
golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about. And it shall
be upon Aaron to minister : and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the
holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, that he die not. � And thou
shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a
signet, Holiness to the Lord. And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be
upon the mitre ; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. And it shall be upon
Aaron�s forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the
children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts ; and it shall be always
upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord. � And thou shalt
embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and
thou shalt make the girdle of needlework. � And for Aaron�s sons thou shalt make
coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them,
for glory and for beauty. And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his
sons with him ; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that
they may minister unto me in the priest�s office. And thou shalt make them linen
breeches to cover their nakedness ; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall
reach : and they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the
tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister
in the holy place ; that they bear not iniquity, and die : it shall be a statute
for ever unto him and his seed after him. "
22321 "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch
shall grow out of his roots : 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 ; and shall make him of quick understanding
in the fear of the Lord. � And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after the hearing of his ears : 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. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and
faithfulness the girdle of his reins. � The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid ; and the calf and the young lion and
the fatling together ; and a little child shall lead them. "
13187 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking : for their
brethren had prepared for them. Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto
Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on
mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and
wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly : for there was joy in Israel.
32584 "and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate,
full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich
man�s table : moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass,
that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham�s bosom : the rich
man also died, and was buried ; and in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in
torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and
said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip
of his finger in water, and cool my tongue ; for I am tormented in this flame. But
Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things,
and likewise Lazarus evil things : but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed : so that they
which would pass from hence to you cannot ; neither can they pass to us, that would
come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest
send him to my father�s house : for I have five brethren ; that he may testify unto
them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They
have Moses and the prophets ; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father
Abraham : but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said
unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead. "
680 And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the
days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
27019 "And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south : and he measured
from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits. � And he brought me to the
inner court by the south gate : and he measured the south gate according to these
measures ; and the little chambers 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. And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits
broad. 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. � And he brought
me into the inner court toward the east : and he measured the gate according to
these measures. And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the
arches thereof, were 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. And the arches thereof were toward the outward 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. � And he brought me to the north gate, and measured
it according to these measures ; the little chambers thereof, the posts thereof,
and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about : the length was fifty
cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. 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. � And the chambers and the
entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt
offering. 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
trespass offering. "
15256 "And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their
brethren the Jews. For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are
many : therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. Some also
there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we
might buy corn, because of the dearth. There were also that said, We have borrowed
money for the king�s tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 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 redeem
them ; for other men have our lands and vineyards. � And I was very angry when I
heard their cry and these words. Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the
nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his
brother. And I set a great assembly against them. And I said unto them, We, after
our ability, have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the
heathen ; and will ye "
8416 "And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah. And he said unto
his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about
which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with
me ; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my son. And when
he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother
said, I had wholly dedicated 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.

39208 "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod : and the angel stood, saying,
Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not ; for it is
given unto the Gentiles : and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and
two months. "
30690 "And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit ; and he cried
out, saying, Let us alone ; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth ?
art thou come to destroy us ? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And
Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the
unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. And
they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What
thing is this ? what new doctrine is this ? for with authority commandeth he even
the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. And immediately his fame spread abroad
throughout all the region round about Galilee. "
6909 "and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places
of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields ; and he made him to
suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock ; 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 thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. But
Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked : thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art
covered with fatness ; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the
Rock of his salvation. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with
abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God ;
to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers
feared not. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God
that formed thee. And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the
provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 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. 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. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the
lowest hell, "
1700 "And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of
Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son : and when she saw him that he was a
goodly child, she hid him three months. 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
put the child therein ; and she laid it in the flags by the river�s brink. And his
sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. "
27006 "And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, 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. � Then brought he me into the
outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court
round about : thirty chambers were upon the pavement. And the pavement by the side
of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement. Then he
measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the
inner court without, a hundred cubits eastward and northward. � And the gate of the
outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the
breadth thereof. And the little chambers 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. And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were
after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east ; and they went up unto
it by seven steps ; and the arches thereof were before them. And the gate of the
inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east ; and
he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits. � After that he brought 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. 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. 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. "
3126 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate for it, and all the
vessels of the altar, and the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of
the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court
round about.

Dishan : these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of
Seir. � And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there
reigned any king over the children of Israel. And Bela the son of Beor reigned in
Edom : and the name of his city was Dinhabah. And Bela died, and Jobab the son of
Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of
Temani reigned in his stead. 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. And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. And Samlah

7439 And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the
land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads
of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance
to them. By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses,
for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe. For Moses had given the inheritance
of two tribes and a half tribe on the other side Jordan : but unto the Levites he
gave none inheritance among them. For the children of Joseph were two tribes,
Manasseh and Ephraim : therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land,
save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their
substance. As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they
divided the land.

Gera, he removed them, and begat Uzza, and Ahihud. And Shaharaim begat children in
the country of Moab, after he had sent them away ; Hushim and Baara were his wives.
And he begat of Hodesh his wife, Jobab, and Zibia, and Mesha, and Malcham, and
Jeuz, and Shachia, and Mirma. These were his sons, heads of the fathers. And of
Hushim he begat Abitub, and Elpaal. The sons of Elpaal ; Eber, and Misham, and

10819 "And these were the princes which he had ; Azariah the son of Zadok the
priest, Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes ; Jehoshaphat the son of
Ahilud, the recorder. And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host : and Zadok

1423 "And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet
alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance. And he lifted up his
eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother�s son, and said, Is this your
younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me ? And he said, God be gracious unto thee,
my son. 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. And he
washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread. 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. And they sat
before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according
to his youth : and the men marveled one at another. 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. "
25542 "and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. Jerusalem remembered
in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she
had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none
did help her : the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths. Jerusalem
hath grievously sinned ; therefore she is removed : all that honored her despise
her, because they have seen her nakedness : yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
Her filthiness is in her skirts ; she remembereth not her last end ; therefore she
came down wonderfully : she had no comforter. O Lord, behold my affliction : for
the enemy hath magnified himself. The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all
her pleasant things : for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her
sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy
congregation. All her people sigh, they seek bread ; they have given their pleasant
things for meat to relieve the soul : see, O Lord, and consider ; for I am become
vile. 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. From above hath he sent fire into my
bones, and it prevaileth against them : he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath
turned me back : he hath made me desolate and faint all the day. The yoke of my
transgressions is bound by his hand : "
13834 "And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all
the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites
bring up. Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled
unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor
numbered for multitude. And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the
Lord unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even
under the wings of the cherubim : for the cherubim spread forth their wings over
the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof
above. And they drew out the staves of the ark, 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. There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put
therein at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when
they came out of Egypt. And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the
holy place : (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not
then wait by course : also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of
Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in
white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the
altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets :) it came
even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be
heard in praising and thanking the Lord ; and when they lifted up their voice with
the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying,
For he is good ; for his mercy endureth for ever : that then the house was filled
with a cloud, even the house of the Lord ; so that the priests could not stand to
minister by reason of the cloud : for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of
God. "
30859 "And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the
Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of
the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs ; and
no man could bind him, no, not with chains : because that he had been often bound
with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the
fetters broken in pieces : neither could any man tame him. And always, night and
day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with
stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, and cried with a
loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high
God ? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come
out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name ? And he
answered, saying, My name is Legion : for we are many. "
35223 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound
ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him
down unto you tomorrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly
concerning him : and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. � And when
Paul�s sister�s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the
castle, and told Paul. Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said,
Bring this young man unto the chief captain : for he hath a certain thing to tell
him. So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the
prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who
hath something to say unto thee. Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and
went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me ?
And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul
tomorrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more
perfectly. But do not thou yield unto them : for there lie in wait for him of them
more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will
neither eat nor drink till they have killed him : and now are they ready, looking
for a promise from thee. So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and
charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me.
12324 "And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and
used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of
the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 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. � Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in
the statutes of Israel which they made. 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. � 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. For the children of Israel walked in all
the sins of Jeroboam which he did ; they departed not from them ; until the Lord
removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets.
So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. "
11623 "And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. And it
came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the
king of Israel. And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth
in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of
Syria ? 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. � And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of
Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord today. Then the king of
Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them,
Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear ? And they said, Go
up ; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. And Jehoshaphat said,
Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might inquire of him ? And
the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of
Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord : but I hate him ; for he doth not
prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say
so. "
5644 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the border of
Moab. And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad. And they removed from
Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim. And they removed from Almon-diblathaim,
and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. And they departed from the
mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. And
they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of
Moab.
5618 "And they departed 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 a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. For the Egyptians buried all
their firstborn, which the Lord had smitten among them : upon their gods also the
Lord executed judgments. � And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and
pitched in Succoth. And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is
in the edge of the wilderness. And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto
Pihahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon : and they pitched before Migdol. And they
departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the
wilderness, and went three days� journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in
Marah. And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim : and in Elim were twelve
fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees ; and they pitched there. And
they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. And they removed from the Red
sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. And they took their journey out of the
wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. And they departed from Dophkah, and
encamped in Alush. And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was
no water for the people to drink. And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in
the wilderness of Sinai. And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
Kibrothhattaavah. And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at
Hazeroth. And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. "
5634 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez. And they
departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah. And they removed from Libnah,
and pitched at Rissah. And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher. And they removed from
mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. And they removed from Haradah, and pitched
in Makheloth. And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. And they
departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah. And they removed from Tarah, and
pitched in Mithcah. And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah. And they
departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth. And they departed from Moseroth,
and pitched in Bene-jaakan. And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at
Horhagidgad. And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. And they
removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah. And they departed from Ebronah,
and encamped at Ezion-gaber. And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the
wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in
mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. � 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 first day
of the fifth month. And Aaron was a hundred and twenty and three years old when he
died in mount Hor. � And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the
land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. � And they departed
from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. And they departed from Zalmonah, and
pitched in Punon. And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
30637 "And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy ; and
did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples,
behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet,
and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid : go tell my brethren
that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. "
35046 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward.
And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defense unto the
people. But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of
two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And when the townclerk had
appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not
how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and
of the image which fell down from Jupiter ? Seeing then that these things cannot be
spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. For ye have brought
hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of
your goddess. Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a
matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies : let them implead
one another. But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be
determined in a lawful assembly. For we are in danger to be called in question for
this day�s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this
concourse. And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
7649 "And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is
Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it. But
the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of
Jephunneh for his possession. � Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest
Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer ; and Libnah with
her suburbs, and Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs, and Holon
with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs, and Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah
with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs ; nine cities out of those two
tribes. And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her
suburbs, Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs ; four cities. All
the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their
suburbs. � And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained
of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe
of Ephraim. For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a
city of refuge for the slayer ; and Gezer with her suburbs, and Kibzaim with her
suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs ; four cities. And out of the tribe of
Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs, Aijalon with her
suburbs, Gath-rimmon with her suburbs ; four cities. And out of the half tribe of
Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with her suburbs ; two cities.
All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of
Kohath that remained. � And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the
Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan "
30905 "And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh
the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth
in where the damsel was lying. And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto
her, Talitha cumi ; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, (I say unto thee,) arise.
And straightway the damsel arose, and walked ; for she was of the age of twelve
years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. And he charged them
straitly that no man should know it ; and commanded that something should be given
her to eat. "
32620 and they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And
it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he
saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell
down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks : and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus
answering said, Were there not ten cleansed ? but where are the nine ? There are
not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto
him, Arise, go thy way : thy faith hath made thee whole.
3156 "And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates
upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates ; a bell and a
pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister
in ; as the Lord commanded Moses. � And they made coats of fine linen of woven work
for Aaron, and for his sons, and a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine
linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen, and a girdle of fine twined linen,
and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework ; as the Lord commanded Moses. �
And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a
writing, like to the engravings of a signet, Holiness to the Lord. And they tied
unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre ; as the Lord commanded
Moses. "
442 "And they made their father drink wine that night also : and the younger
arose, and lay with him ; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she
arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. And the
firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab : the same is the father of the
Moabites unto this day. And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name
Benammi : the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day. "
1697 "and they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick,
and in all manner of service in the field : all their service, wherein they made
them serve, was with rigor. � 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 ; and he
said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the
stools, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him ; but if it be a daughter, then she
shall live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded
them, but saved the men children alive. 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 ? 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 midwives
come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives : and the people
multiplied, and waxed very mighty. And it came to pass, because the midwives feared
God, that he made them houses. 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. "
8455 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
� 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. And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the
Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him. And the six hundred men
appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by
the entering of the gate. 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 in the entering of the gate with the
six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war. And these went into
Micah�s house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the
molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye ? 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 a priest unto the house of one
man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel ? 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. � So they turned and departed, and put
the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them. And when they were a
good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah�s
house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan. 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 ?
8247 "And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto
Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan. So now the Lord God of Israel
hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou
possess it ? Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to
possess ? So whomsoever the Lord our God shall drive out from before us, them will
we possess. 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, while
Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the
cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years ? why therefore
did ye not recover them within that time ? Wherefore I have not sinned against
thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me : the Lord the Judge be judge this
day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon. Howbeit the king of
the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him. �
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. And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said,
If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, 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, shall surely be the Lord�s, and I will
offer it up for a burnt offering. So Jephthah passed over unto the children of
Ammon to fight against them ; and the Lord delivered them into his hands. And he
smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto
the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon
were subdued before the children of Israel. "
9007 "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. 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. �
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. And Saul also went home to Gibeah ; and there went with him a band of men,
whose hearts God had touched. But the children of Belial said, How shall this man
save us ? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his
peace. "
33022 "And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments ; and rested the
sabbath day according to the commandment. "
166 "And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 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. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of
men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
language ; and this they begin to do : and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound
their language, that they may not understand one another�s speech. So the Lord
scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth : and they left
off to build the city. Therefore is 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. "
8621 "And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. And
Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters : why will ye go with me ? are there yet any
more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands ? Turn again, my daughters, go
your way ; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I
should have a husband also tonight, and should also bear sons ; would ye tarry for
them till they were grown ? would ye stay for them from having husbands ? nay, my
daughters ; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is
gone out against me. And they lifted up their voice, and wept again : and Orpah
kissed her mother-in-law ; but Ruth clave unto her. � And she said, Behold, thy
sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods : return thou after
thy sister-in-law. And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or 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 : 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. When she saw that she was steadfastly
minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. � So they two went until
they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that
all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi ? And she said unto
them, Call me not Naomi [pleasant], call me Mara [bitter] : for the Almighty hath
dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home
again empty : why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me,
and the Almighty hath afflicted me ? � So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess,
her daughter-inlaw, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab : and they
came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest. "
31155 "And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her
away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he
wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male
and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to
his wife ; and they twain shall be one flesh : so then they are no more twain, but
one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. � And
in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto
them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery
against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another,
she committeth adultery. "
1364 "And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the
land of Canaan ; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is
not. And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are
spies : hereby ye shall be proved : By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth
hence, except your youngest brother come hither. Send one of you, and let him fetch
your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved,
whether there be any truth in you : or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are
spies. And he put them all together into ward three days. � And Joseph said unto
them the third day, This do, and live ; for I fear God : if ye be true men, let one
of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison : go ye, carry corn for the
famine of your houses : but bring your youngest brother unto me ; so shall your
words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so. And they said one to
another. We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of
his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear ; therefore is this distress
come upon us. And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do
not sin against the child ; and ye would not hear ? therefore, behold, also his
blood is required. And they knew not that Joseph understood them ; for he spake
unto them by an interpreter. And he turned himself about from them, and wept ; and
returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and
bound him before their eyes. Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn,
and to restore every man�s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the
way : and thus did he unto them. � And they laded their asses with the corn, and
departed thence. And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in
the inn, he espied his money ; for, behold, it was in his sack�s mouth. "
2516 "and they saw the God of Israel : and there was under his feet as it were a
paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand : also they saw
God, and did eat and drink. � And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the
mount, and be there : and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and
commandments which I have written ; that thou mayest teach them. And Moses rose up,
and his minister Joshua ; and Moses went up into the mount of God. 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 : if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. �
And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. 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. And the sight of
the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes
of the children of Israel. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him
up into the mount : and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. "
3142 "And they set in it four rows of stones : the first row was a sardius, a
topaz, and a carbuncle : this was the first row. And the second row, an emerald, a
sapphire, and a diamond. And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper : they were inclosed in ouches
of gold in their inclosings. And the stones were according to the names of the
children of Israel, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a
signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes. And they made upon
the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathed work of pure gold. And they made
two ouches of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings in the two ends of
the breastplate. And they put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings on
the ends of the breastplate. And the two ends of the two wreathed chains they
fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before
it. And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the
breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward. And
they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod
underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof,
above the curious girdle of the ephod. And they did bind the breastplate by his
rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the
curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the
ephod ; as the Lord commanded Moses. � And he made the robe of the ephod of woven
work, all of blue. And there was a hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an
habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend. And they made
upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined
linen. "
29209 "And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up
my jewels ; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him
that serveth God and him that serveth him not. "
26814 "And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of
the land devour them ; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them
afraid. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more
consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even
the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord God. And ye my flock, the flock
of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God. "
16122 and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the
ghost.
28664 "And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto
them : they shall deride every stronghold ; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his
power unto his god. "
22498 "And they shall turn the rivers far away ; and the brooks of defense shall be
emptied and dried up : the reeds and flags shall wither. The paper reeds by the
brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall
wither, be driven away, and be no more. The fishers also shall mourn, and all they
that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the
waters shall languish. Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave
networks, shall be confounded. And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof,
all that make sluices and ponds for fish. � Surely the princes of Zoan are fools,
the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh is become brutish : how say ye unto
Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings ? Where are they ?
where are thy wise men ? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the
Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. The princes of Zoan are become fools, the
princes of Noph are deceived ; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the
stay of the tribes thereof. The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst
thereof : and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man
staggereth in his vomit. Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head
or tail, branch or rush, may do. � In that day shall Egypt be like unto women : and
it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of
hosts, which he shaketh over it. And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto
Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of
the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined against it. � In that
day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear
to the Lord of hosts ; one shall be called, The city of destruction. "
12644 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of
Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
416 "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. � And the
men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides ? son-inlaw, and thy sons, and thy
daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place : for
we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face
of the Lord ; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. 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 this city. But he seemed as one that mocked
unto his sons-in-law. � 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. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon
his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters ;
the Lord being merciful unto him : and they brought him forth, and set him without
the city. 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. And Lot said unto them, Oh,
not so, my Lord : behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou
hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life ; and I
cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die : behold now, this
city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one : O, let me escape thither, (is
it not a little one ?) and my soul shall live. And he said unto him, See, I have
accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for
the which thou hast spoken. "
39294 "and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four
beasts, and the elders : and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty
and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 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 redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits
unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile : for they are
without fault before the throne of God. "
4200 "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. � If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they
have walked contrary unto me ; and that I also have walked contrary unto them, and
have brought them into the land of their enemies ; if then their uncircumcised
hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity : 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. 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 despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my
statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will
not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to
break my covenant with them : for I am the Lord their God. 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 heathen, that I might be their God : I am the
Lord. � 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. "
29556 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told
every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. And, behold, the
whole city came out to meet Jesus : and when they saw him, they besought him that
he would depart out of their coasts.
27734 "And they that understand among the people shall instruct many : yet they
shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now
when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help : but many shall
cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to
try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end :
because it is yet for a time appointed. � 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 shall prosper till the
indignation be accomplished : for that that is determined shall be done. Neither
shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god
: for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall he honor the God
of forces : and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and
silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most
strongholds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory :
and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. �
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him : and the king
of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with
horsemen, and with many ships ; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall
overflow and pass over. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many
countries shall be overthrown : but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom,
and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. He shall stretch forth his hand
also upon the countries : and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 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. "
10678 "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. And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign
after me, and he shall sit upon my throne ? For he is gone down this day, and hath
slain oxen and fat cattle 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. But me, even me thy servant,
and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon,
hath he not called. Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not
showed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after
him ? "
1966 "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. And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of
the boils ; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. And
the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them ; as the
Lord had spoken unto Moses. "
2215 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. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured
against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness :
32786 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves
just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him
unto the power and authority of the governor. And they asked him, saying, Master,
we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of
any, but teachest the way of God truly : Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto
Caesar, or no ? But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye
me ? Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it ? They answered and
said, Caesar�s. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which be Caesar�s, and unto God the things which be God�s. And they could not take
hold of his words before the people : and they marveled at his answer, and held
their peace.
31899 "And they were filled with madness ; and communed one with another what they
might do to Jesus. "
31539 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her,
believed not.
36908 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in
Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul,
that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the
law, it is no more of promise : but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
11769 "And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord : he will deliver the
Moabites also into your hand. And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every
choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar
every good piece of land with stones. And it came to pass in the morning, when the
meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and
the country was filled with water. � And when all the Moabites heard that the kings
were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on
armor, and upward, and stood in the border. And they rose up early in the morning,
and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side
as red as blood : and they said, This is blood : the kings are surely slain, and
they have smitten one another : now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. And when they
came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that
they fled before them : but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their
country. And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every
man his stone, and filled it ; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled
all the good trees : only in Kir-haraseth left they the stones thereof ; howbeit
the slingers went about it, and smote it. And when the king of Moab saw that the
battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords,
to break through even unto the king of Edom : but they could not. 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 indignation against Israel : and they
departed from him, and returned to their own land. "
6952 "And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the
children of Israel before his death. And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and
rose up from Seir unto them ; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with
ten thousands of saints : "
6314 "And this is the manner of the release : Every creditor that lendeth aught
unto his neighbor shall release it ; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of
his brother ; because it is called the Lord�s release. Of a foreigner thou mayest
exact it again : but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall
release ; save when there shall be no poor among you ; for the Lord shall greatly
bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to
possess it : only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to
observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. For the Lord
thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee : and thou shalt lend unto many nations,
but thou shalt not borrow ; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall
not reign over thee. "
38784 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. � These
things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing
which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach
you : but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no
lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
2705 "And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to
minister unto me in the priest�s office : Take one young bullock, and two rams
without blemish, and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and
wafers unleavened anointed with oil : of wheaten flour shalt thou make them. And
thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock
and the two rams. And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water. And thou shalt take
the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the
ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod : and
thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. Then
shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him. And
thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them. And thou shalt gird them with
girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them : and the priest�s office
shall be theirs for a perpetual statute : and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his
sons. � And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the
congregation ; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the
bullock. And thou shalt kill the bullock before the Lord, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock,
and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood
beside the bottom of the altar. "
27285 "And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing
most holy by the border of the Levites. And over against 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. And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the
firstfruits of the land : for it is holy unto the Lord. � And the five thousand,
that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a
profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs : and the city shall be
in the midst thereof. 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. And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred
and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two
hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty. And the residue in
length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand
eastward, and ten thousand westward : and it shall be over against the oblation of
the holy portion ; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve
the city. And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of
Israel. 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. � 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, over against the five and
twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against
the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for

5029 "And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were
the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress. Thus ye also
shall offer a heave offering unto the Lord of all your tithes, which ye receive of
the children of Israel ; and ye shall give thereof the Lord�s heave offering to
Aaron the priest. 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. Therefore
thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it
shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the
increase of the winepress. And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your
households : for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the
congregation. And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it
the best of it : neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of
Israel, lest ye die. "
5017 "And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem,
according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of
the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling
of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem ; they are holy :
thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an
offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto the Lord. And the flesh of them shall
be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. 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, by a statute for
ever : it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord unto thee and to thy seed
with thee. And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their
land, neither shalt thou have any part among them : I am thy part and thine
inheritance among the children of Israel. � And, behold, I have given the children
of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they
serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Neither must the
children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest
they bear sin, and die. But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity : it shall be a statute for
ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no
inheritance. But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave
offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit : therefore I have
said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. � And
the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them,
When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them
for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave offering of it for the Lord,
even a tenth part of the tithe. "
5365 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all
males from a month old and upward : for they were not numbered among the children
of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of
Israel.
9530 "And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me :
forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.
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. And now, behold, I know
well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be
established in thine hand. 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. And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home ; but David and his

people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty
army : and thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the
land ; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that
the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their
eyes. � Thus saith the Lord God ; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by
my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years, that
I would bring thee against them ? And it shall come to pass at the same time when
Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall
come up in my face. 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 ; 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 mountans shall be thrown
down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. And
I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God
: every man�s sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with
pestilence and with blood ; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon
the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire,
and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself ; and I will be
known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord. "
7214 "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 : lay thee an ambush for the city behind it. � So Joshua arose, and all
the people of war, to go up against Ai : and Joshua chose out thirty thousand
mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night. And he commanded them, saying,
Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city : go not very
far from the city, but be ye all ready : 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, (for they will come out
after us,) till we have drawn them from the city ; for they will say, They flee
before us, as at the first : therefore we will flee before them. Then ye shall rise
up from the ambush, and seize upon the city : for the Lord your God will deliver it
into your hand. And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the
city on fire : according to the commandment of the Lord shall ye do. See, I have
commanded you. Joshua therefore sent them forth ; and they went to lie in ambush,
and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai : but Joshua lodged that
night among the people. � And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the
people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. And all
the people, even the people 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 them and Ai. And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in
ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city. And when they had set
the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in
wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

1486 "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 : and there will I nourish thee ; for yet there are five
years of famine ; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to
poverty. And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it
is my mouth that speaketh unto you. 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. And he fell upon his brother Benjamin�s neck, and wept ; and Benjamin wept
upon his neck. Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them : and after
that his brethren talked with him. � And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh�s
house, saying, Joseph�s brethren are come : and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his
servants. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye ; lade
your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan ; 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. 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. Also regard not your stuff ; for the good of all
the land of Egypt is yours. � And the children of Israel did so : and Joseph gave
them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for
the way. 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. "
14311 "and thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy
bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day. � Moreover the Lord stirred
up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were
near the Ethiopians : and they came up into 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. � And after all this the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable
disease. And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years,
his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness : so he died of sore diseases. And
his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. Thirty and two
years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years,
and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David,
but not in the sepulchres of the kings. "
2614 "And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, five cubits long, and five
cubits broad ; the altar shall be foursquare : and the height thereof shall be
three cubits. And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof :
his horns shall be of the same : and thou shalt overlay it with brass. And thou
shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basins, and his
fleshhooks, and his firepans : all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass. "
2762 "And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon : of shittim wood shalt
thou make it. 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 the same. 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. And two golden rings shalt thou
make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of
it shalt thou make it ; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it
withal. And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
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. And Aaron
shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning : when he dresseth the lamps, he
shall burn incense upon it. And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall
burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your
generations. Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor
meat offering ; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon. And Aaron shall make
an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering
of atonements ; once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your
generations : it is most holy unto the Lord. "
2627 "And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass ; and upon the net
shalt thou make four brazen rings in the four corners thereof. And thou shalt put
it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of
the altar. And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and
overlay them with brass. And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves
shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it. Hollow with boards shalt thou
make it : as it was showed thee in the mount, so shall they make it. "
2745 "And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement :
and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou
shalt anoint it, to sanctify it. Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the
altar, and sanctify it ; and it shall be an altar most holy : whatsoever toucheth
the altar shall be holy. "
2611 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which
was showed thee in the mount. � And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work : with cherubim shall it be made.
And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold : their
hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver. And thou shalt hang up the
veil under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the veil the ark of
the testimony : and the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the
most holy. And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the
most holy place. And thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick
over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south : and thou
shalt put the table on the north side. � And thou shalt make a hanging for the door
of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with
needlework. And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and
overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold : and thou shalt cast five
sockets of brass for them.
2732 "And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for
a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the Lord : it is an offering made by
fire unto the Lord. � And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron�s
consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the Lord : and it shall be thy
part. And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of
the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the
consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons :
and it shall be Aaron�s and his sons� by a statute for ever from the children of
Israel ; for it is a heave offering : and it shall be a heave offering from the
children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave
offering unto the Lord. � And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons� after
him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. And that son that is
priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the
tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place. � And thou shalt take
the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place. And Aaron and
his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And they shall eat those things
wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them : but a
stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy. And if aught of the flesh of
the consecrations, 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. � And thus
shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have
commanded thee : seven days shalt thou consecrate them. "
2127 "And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of
that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. And it shall be for
a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the
Lord�s law may be in thy mouth : for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee
out of Egypt. Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to
year. � And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee, that
thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling
that cometh of a beast which thou hast ; the male shall be the Lord�s. And every
firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb ; and if thou wilt not redeem it,
then thou shalt break his neck : and all the firstborn of man among thy children
shalt thou redeem. 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 : 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 matrix, being males ; but all the
firstborn of my children I redeem. And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and
for frontlets between thine eyes : for by strength of hand the Lord brought us
forth out of Egypt. "
2718 "And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that
is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn
them upon the altar. But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung,
shalt thou burn with fire without the camp : it is a sin offering. � Thou shalt
also take one ram ; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of
the ram. And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle
it round about upon the altar. And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the
inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head. And
thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar : it is a burnt offering unto the Lord
: it is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the Lord. � And thou shalt
take the other ram ; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of
the ram. Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his 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. 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. � Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that
covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the
fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder ; for it is a ram of consecration :
and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket
of the unleavened bread that is before the Lord : and thou shalt put all in the
hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons ; and shalt wave them for a wave
offering before the Lord. "
3189 "And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all
that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof : and it shall be
holy. And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels,
and sanctify the altar : and it shall be an altar most holy. And thou shalt anoint
the laver and his foot, and sanctify it. And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. And
thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him ;
that he may minister unto me in the priest�s office. And thou shalt bring his sons,
and clothe them with coats : and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their
father, that they may minister unto me in the priest�s office : for their anointing
shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. � Thus did
Moses : according to all that the Lord commanded him, so did he. 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. And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his
sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up
his pillars. And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the
covering of the tent above upon it ; as the Lord commanded Moses. 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 : and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up
the veil of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony ; as the Lord
commanded Moses. And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the
side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil. And he set the bread in order
upon it before the Lord ; as the Lord had commanded Moses. "
2312 "and thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt show them the way
wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. Moreover thou shalt provide
out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness
; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds,
rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens : 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 : so shall it be easier for thyself, and they
shall bear the burden with thee. If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee
so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their
place in peace. � So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all
that he had said. 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. And they judged the people at all seasons : the hard causes they
brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. And Moses let
his father-in-law depart ; and he went his way into his own land. "
25813 "And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber�s razor,
and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard : then take thee balances
to weigh, and divide the hair. Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst
of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled : and thou shalt take a third
part, and smite about it with a knife : and a third part thou shalt scatter in the
wind ; and I will draw out a sword after them. Thou shalt also take thereof a few
in number, and bind them in thy skirts. Then take of them again, and cast them into
the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire ; for thereof shall a fire come
forth into all the house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord God ; This is Jerusalem : I
have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. "
14965 "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 set up. But after that our fathers had provoked
the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king
of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away
into Babylon. But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, the same king
Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God. And the vessels also of gold and
silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in
Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king
take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was
Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor ; and said unto him, Take these vessels, go,
carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be
builded in his place. Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of
the house of God which is in Jerusalem : and since that time even until now hath it
been in building, and yet it is not finished. 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. "
1590 "And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be
called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. And as for me, when I
came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there
was but a little way to come unto Ephrath : and I buried her there in the way of
Ephrath ; the same is Bethlehem. � And Israel beheld Joseph�s sons, and said, Who
are these ? And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given
me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless
them. 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. And Israel said
unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face : and, lo, God hath showed me also
thy seed. And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself
with his face to the earth. 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. 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. And he blessed
Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God
which fed me all my life long unto this day, the angel which 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. �
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. "
16086 "and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. And these things hast thou hid
in thine heart : I know that this is with thee. If I sin, then thou markest me, and
thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. If I be wicked, woe unto me ; and if I
be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion ; therefore
see thou mine affliction ; for it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion :
and again thou showest thyself marvelous upon me. Thou renewest thy witnesses
against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me ; changes and war are against
me. Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb ? Oh that I had given
up the ghost, and no eye had seen me ! I should have been as though I had not
been ; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. Are not my days few ?
Cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, before I go whence
I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death ; a land
of darkness, as darkness itself ; and of the shadow of death, without any order,
and where the light is as darkness. "

a froward mouth. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth
with his fingers ; frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually ;
he soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly ; suddenly shall he
be broken without remedy. These six things doth the Lord hate ; yea, seven are an
abomination unto him : a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent
blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to
mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among
brethren. "

fainted, for he believed them not. 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. And Israel said, It is enough ;
Joseph my son is yet alive : I will go and see him before I die. "

13803 "And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about :
ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it
was cast. It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three
looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking
toward the east : and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts
were inward. And the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it like the
work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies ; and it received and held three
thousand baths. He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five
on the left, to wash in them : such things as they offered for the burnt offering
they washed in them ; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. � And he made ten
candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on
the right hand, and five on the left. He made also ten tables, and placed them in
the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred
basins of gold. 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. And he set the
sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south. � And Huram made the
pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to
make for king Solomon for the house of God ; to wit, the two pillars, and the
pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two
wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the
pillars ; and four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths ; two rows of
pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were
upon the pillars. He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases ; one sea,
and twelve oxen under it. "
25738 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. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings,
like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech,
as the noise of a host : when they stood, they let down their wings. And there was
a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let
down their wings. � And above the firmament that was over their heads was the
likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone : and upon the likeness
of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw
as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the
appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even
downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round
about. 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.
12694 "And unto Eber were born two sons : the name of the one was Peleg
[division] ; because in his days the earth was divided : and his brother�s name was
Joktan. And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah, Hadoram
also, and Uzal, and Diklah, and Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba, and Ophir, and
Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. "
11182 "And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a
light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name
there. And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul
desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto
all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my
sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did ; that I
will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give
Israel unto thee. And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt,
unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. "

that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars. � I know thy works, that
thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the
things which remain, that are ready to die : for I have not found thy works perfect
before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and
repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on "

that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the
law ; to them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God,
but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the
weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak : I am made all things to all
men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel�s sake, that
I might be partaker thereof with you. � Know ye not that they which run in a race
run all, but one receiveth the prize ? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man
that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain
a corruptible crown ; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as
uncertainly ; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air : but I keep under my
body, and bring it into subjection : lest that by any means, when I have preached
to others, I myself should be a castaway. "
18176 "and uphold me with thy free Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways
; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
thou God of my salvation : and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. O
Lord, open thou my lips ; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. For thou
desirest not sacrifice ; else would I give it : thou delightest not in burnt
offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit : a broken and a contrite
heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion : build
thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering : then shall they offer
bullocks upon thine altar. "
25268 "and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of
Moab, far or near. The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the
Lord. � Make ye him drunken ; for he magnified himself against the Lord : Moab also
shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. For was not Israel a
derision unto thee ? was he found among thieves ? for since thou spakest of him,
thou skippedst for joy. O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the
rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole�s mouth.
We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud,) his loftiness, and his
arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart. I know his wrath, saith
the Lord ; but it shall not be so ; his lies shall not so effect it. Therefore will
I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab ; mine heart shall mourn for the
men of Kir-heres. O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of
Jazer : thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer : the
spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage. And joy and gladness
is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab ; and I have caused
wine to fail from the winepresses : none shall tread with shouting ; their shouting
shall be no shouting. From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto
Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as a heifer of
three years old : for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. Moreover I will
cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and
him that burneth incense to his gods. Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab
like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres :
because the riches that he hath gotten are perished. "

with a covering of badgers� skins, and shall put to the staves thereof : and they
shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the
sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of
badgers� skins, and shall put them on a bar. And they shall take away the ashes
from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon : and they shall put upon it all
the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the
fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar ; and
they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers� skins, and put to the staves of
it. And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all
the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward ; after that, the sons
of Kohath shall come to bear it : but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest
they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of
the congregation. � And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat
offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of
all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof. � And the Lord
spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Cut ye not off the tribe of the families
of the Kohathites from among the Levites : but thus do unto them, that they may
live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things : Aaron and his
sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden : but
they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die. � And

throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families : "

the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben, and passed along toward the side over against
Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah : and the border passed along to the
side of Beth-hoglah northward : and the outgoings of the border were at the north
bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan : this was the south coast. And
Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the
children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their
families. � Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to
their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz, and Beth-
arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el, and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, and Chephar-

Benjamin according to their families. "
33005 "And we indeed justly ; for we receive the due reward of our deeds : but this
man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou
comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today
shalt thou be with me in paradise. � And it was about the sixth hour, and there was
a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and
the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And when Jesus had cried with a loud
voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit : and having said thus,
he gave up the ghost. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. And all the people that came together
to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and
returned. And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee,
stood afar off, beholding these things. "

next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium ; and the next day we came
to Miletus. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend
the time in Asia : for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem
the day of Pentecost. "
5857 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and
the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain : only the
cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we
took. From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city
that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us :
the Lord our God delivered all unto us : only unto the land of the children of
Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities
in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbade us.

That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another,

covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall
thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham [father of a great
multitude] ; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee

is 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. � And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out
of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass
quickly over the water : for thus hath Ahithophel counseled against you. 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. � And
when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and
arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order,

David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of
Israel with him. And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab : which
Amasa was a man�s son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail
the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab�s mother. So Israel and Absalom

servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two
hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred of summer
fruits, and a bottle of wine. 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. And the king said, And where is thy master�s son

David : and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his
left. And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and

blessing. 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 ? And Isaac
answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren

and what shall I do now unto thee, my son ? 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. � And Isaac his father answered and said unto him,
Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven
from above ; and by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother : and it
shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his
yoke from off thy neck. "

them : and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon
the sea, and would have passed by them. But when they saw him walking upon the sea,
they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out : for they all saw him, and were
troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good
cheer : it is I ; be not afraid. And he went up unto them into the ship ; and the
wind ceased : and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves ; for their heart was hardened. "

began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country ;
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his
belly with the husks that the swine did eat : and no man gave unto him. And when he
came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father�s have bread enough
and to spare, and I perish with hunger ! I will arise and go to my father, and will
say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more
worthy to be called thy son : make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose,
and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him,
and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said
unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more
worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the
best robe, and put it on him ; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet :

nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants,

thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and
sound. And he was angry, and would not go in : therefore came his father out, and
entreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve

cursed woman, and bury her : for she is a king�s daughter. 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. Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word

of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste, and
bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your
sweet odors. And I will bring the land into desolation : and your enemies which
dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen,
and will draw out a sword after you : and your land shall be desolate, and your
cities waste. � 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. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest ; because it did not
rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. And upon them that are left alive of
you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies ; and
the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them ; and they shall flee, as fleeing from
a sword ; and they shall fall when none pursueth. And they shall fall one upon
another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth : and ye shall have no power
to stand before your enemies. And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land
of your enemies shall eat you up. "
36756 "And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man :
for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied :
and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I
keep myself. As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting
in the regions of Achaia. Wherefore ? because I love you not ? God knoweth. � But
what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire
occasion ; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of
Christ. And no marvel ; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the
ministers of righteousness ; whose end shall be according to their works. "
35366 "And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered
Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus�
band. And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the
coasts of Asia ; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. And
the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave
him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. And when we had launched
from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. And when we
had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy ; and he put
us therein. And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over
against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against
Salmone ; and, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called the Fair Havens
; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. � Now when much time was spent, and when
sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished
them, and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and
much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. "
5106 "And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that
Israel came by the way of the spies ; then he fought against Israel, and took some
of them prisoners. 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.
And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites ;
and they utterly destroyed them and their cities : and he called the name of the
place Hormah [utter destruction]. "
1561 "And when money failed 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 the money faileth. And Joseph said, Give your cattle ; and I
will give you for your cattle, if money fail. And they brought their cattle unto
Joseph : and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and
for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses ; and he fed them with bread for all
their cattle for that year. When that year was ended, they came unto him the second
year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is
spent ; my lord also hath our herds of cattle ; there is not aught left in the
sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands : wherefore shall 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, that the land be not desolate. � And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for
Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed
over them : so the land became Pharaoh�s. And as for the people, he removed them to
cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof. Only the
land of the priests bought he not ; for the priests had a portion assigned them of
Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them : wherefore they sold
not their lands. 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. And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part
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. 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. "
1996 "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. And the
heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go ; as
the Lord had spoken by Moses. "
848 "And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her
sister ; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. 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 ? "
14014 "And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah
and Benjamin a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to
fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. But the
word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, Speak unto Rehoboam the
son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren : return
every man to his house ; for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of
the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam. "
9883 "And when Saul�s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were
feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled. And Saul�s son had two men that were
captains of bands : the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other
Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin : (for Beeroth
also was reckoned to Benjamin : and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were
sojourners there until this day.) � And Jonathan, Saul�s son, had a son that was
lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan
out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled : and it came to pass, as she
made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth. �
And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the
heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon. And they came
thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat ; and
they smote him under the fifth rib : and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. For
when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote
him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through
the plain all night. 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. 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, "
8743 "And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks,
and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the
Lord in Shiloh : and the child was young. And they slew a bullock, and brought the
child to Eli. And she said, O my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman
that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord. For this child I prayed ; and the
Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him : therefore also I have lent
him to the Lord ; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord. And he
worshipped the Lord there. "
31019 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her
daughter laid upon the bed.
34195 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord
in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto
them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were
all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance. � And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout
men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the
multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them
speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to
another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans ? And how hear we every
man in our own tongue, wherein we were born ?
29608 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake : and the multitudes
marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, He
casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
15607 "And when the king�s decree, which he shall make, shall be published
throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their
husbands honor, both to great and small. And the saying pleased the king and the
princes ; and the king did according to the word of Memucan : 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 that it should be published according to the language of
every people. "
4727 "And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord : and the Lord heard
it ; and his anger was kindled ; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and
consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. And the people cried
unto Moses ; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched. And he
called the name of the place Taberah [a burning] : because the fire of the Lord
burnt among them. � 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 ? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely ; the cucumbers, and
the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic : but now our soul is
dried away : there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes. � And
the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium.
And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a
mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it : and the taste of it was as the
taste of fresh oil. And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
fell upon it. "
2831 "And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount,
the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us
gods, which shall go before us ; for "
8830 "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. 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. 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 the plagues in the wilderness. 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. � And the Philistines fought,
and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent : and there was a
very great slaughter ; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. And the
ark of God was taken ; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. �
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. And when he came, lo, Eli sat
upon a seat by the wayside 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. And when
Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult ?
And the man came in hastily, and told Eli. Now Eli was ninety and eight years old ;
and his eyes were dim, that he could not see. 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, What is
there done, my son ? And the messenger 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. "
27219 "And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of
that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof. � But when the people of the
land shall come before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the
way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate ; and he
that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north
gate : he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go
forth over against it. And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall
go in ; and when they go forth, shall go forth. � And in the feasts and in the
solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a
ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. Now when
the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily
unto the Lord, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and
he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the
sabbath day : then he shall go forth ; and after his going forth one shall shut the
gate. � Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the Lord of a lamb of the
first year without blemish : thou shalt prepare it every morning. And thou shalt
prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the
third part of a hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour ; a meat offering
continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the Lord. Thus shall they prepare the
lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt
offering. � Thus saith the Lord God ; If the prince give a gift unto any of his
sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons� ; it shall be their possession by
inheritance. But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then
it shall be his to the year of liberty ; after, it shall return to the prince : but
his inheritance shall be his sons� for them. Moreover the prince shall not take of
the people�s inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession ;
but he shall give "

of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions. 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. And Solomon told her all her questions : there was not any
thing hid from the king, which he told her not. And when the queen of Sheba had
seen all Solomon�s wisdom, and the house that he had built, 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. � And she said to the king, It
was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
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. Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand
continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. "

Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, 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. And Solomon
told her all her questions : and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told
her not. And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house

apparel ; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the Lord ; there was

heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom : howbeit I believed not
their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it : and, behold, the one half of
the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me : for thou exceedest the fame that I
heard. Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually
before thee, and hear thy wisdom. 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. And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of
gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones : neither was there any
such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon. � And the servants also of
Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum
trees and precious stones. "
31524 "And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James,
and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very
early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at
the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre ? And when they looked, they saw that the
stone was rolled away : for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre,
they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment ;
and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted : ye seek Jesus
of Nazareth, which was crucified : he is risen ; he is not here : behold the place
where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth
before you into Galilee : there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they
went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre ; for they trembled and were amazed :
neither said they any thing to any man ; for they were afraid. "

unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. And she
arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine
handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. And Abigail
hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after
her ; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife. � David also
took Ahinoam of Jezreel ; and they were also both of them his wives. But Saul had
given Michal his daughter, David�s wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of
Gallim. "
39205 "And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write :
and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the
seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw stand upon
the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware by him that
liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and
the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are
therein, that there should be time no longer : but in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished,
as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. � And the voice which I heard
from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is
open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I
went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto
me, Take it, and eat it up ; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in
thy mouth sweet as honey. 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 as soon as I had eaten it,
my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many
peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. "
14901 "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. 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.
And they set the altar upon his bases ; for fear was upon them because of the
people of those countries : and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord,
even burnt offerings morning and evening. They kept also the feast of tabernacles,
as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the
custom, as the duty of every day required ; and afterward offered the continual
burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the Lord that
were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto
the Lord. 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. 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 of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of
Persia. "

holy things ; because it is his food. That which dieth of itself, or is torn with
beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith : I am the Lord. They shall
therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if
they profane it : I the Lord do sanctify them. � There shall no stranger eat of the
holy thing : a sojourner of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the
holy thing. But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and
he that is born in his house : they shall eat of his meat. If the priest�s daughter
also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
But if the 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
meat : but there shall no stranger eat thereof. And if a man eat of the holy thing
unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it
unto the priest with the holy thing. And they shall not profane the holy things of
the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord ; or suffer them to bear the
iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things : for I the Lord do sanctify
them. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons,
and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the
house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for
all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the
Lord for a burnt offering ; ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish,
of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. But whatsoever hath a blemish, that
shall ye not offer : for it shall not be acceptable for you. And whosoever
offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord to accomplish his vow, or a

David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. Then David put garrisons in
Syria of Damascus : and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts.
And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went. And David took the shields of
gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. And
from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much
brass. � When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of
Hadadezer, 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 : which also king David did dedicate unto the Lord, with the
silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued ; 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. � And David gat him a
name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being
eighteen thousand men. And he put garrisons in Edom ; throughout all Edom put he
garrisons, and all they of Edom became David�s servants. And the Lord preserved
David whithersoever he went. "
4304 "And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down ;
and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up : and the
stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. And the children of Israel shall
pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard,
throughout their hosts. But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of
testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel :
and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony. And the
children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.

31210 "And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go
your way into the village over against you : and as soon as ye be entered into it,
ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat ; loose him, and bring him. "
30174 "And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the
mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, saying unto them, Go into the
village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt
with her : loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say aught unto you,
ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them ; and straightway he will send them. All
this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting
upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as
Jesus commanded them, and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments
in the way ; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.

31710 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking
him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple,
sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when
they saw him, they were amazed : and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou
thus dealt with us ? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he
said unto them, How is it that ye sought me ? wist ye not that I must be about my
Father�s business ? And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them : but
his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. � And Jesus increased in wisdom and
stature, and in favor with God and man.
35303 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul�s cause unto the
king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix : about whom, when I
was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me,
desiring to have judgment against him. To whom I answered, It is not the manner of
the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the
accusers face to face, and have license to answer for himself concerning the crime
laid against him. Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the
morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such
things as I supposed : but had certain questions against him of their own
superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. And
because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to
Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters. But when Paul had appealed to be
reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send
him to Caesar. Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself.
Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. � And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come,
and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the
chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus� commandment Paul was
brought forth. And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present
with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with
me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
32938 "And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down
together, Peter sat down among them. But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the
fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. And he
denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little while another saw
him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the
space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this
fellow also was with him ; for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know not
what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. And the Lord
turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he
had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went
out, and wept bitterly. "
34904 "And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison,
charging the jailer to keep them safely : who, having received such a charge,
thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. � And at
midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God : and the prisoners heard
them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the
prison were shaken : and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one�s
bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and
seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself,
supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice,
saying, Do thyself no harm : for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and
sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought
them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved ? And they said, Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto
him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the
same hour of the night, and washed their stripes ; and was baptized, he and all
his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before
them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. � And when it was day, the
magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go. And the keeper of the
prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go : now
therefore depart, and go in peace. But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us
openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison ; and now do they
thrust us out privily ? nay verily ; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
"
31490 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his
own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
34813 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they
returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, confirming the souls of the
disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through
much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. And when they had ordained them
elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the
Lord, on whom they believed.
10090 "And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house,
David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey ? why then didst thou not
go down unto thine house ? And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and
Judah, abide in tents ; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped
in the open fields ; shall I then go into 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. 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. 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. � And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab,
and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 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. And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he
assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. And the men of the
city went out, and fought with Joab : and there fell some of the people of the
servants of David ; and Uriah the Hittite died also. Then Joab sent and told David
all the things concerning the war ; and charged the messenger, saying, When thou
hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king, and if so be that
the king�s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto
the city when ye did fight ? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall ? Who
smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth ? did not a woman cast a piece of a
millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez ? why went ye nigh the
wall ? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. "
15850 "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. 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. "
30987 "And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to
say, with unwashen hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews,
except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And
when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other
things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and
pots, brazen vessels, and of tables. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why
walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with
unwashen hands ? He answered and said unto them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you
hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, but their
heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the
tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups : and many other such like things
ye do. � And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye
may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother ;
and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death : but ye say, If a man
shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by
whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me ; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no
more to do aught for his father or his mother ; making the word of God of none
effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered : and many such like things
do ye. � And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken
unto me every one of you, and understand : "
30587 "And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a
place of a skull, they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall : and when he
had tasted thereof, he would not drink. And they crucified him, and parted his
garments, casting lots : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast
lots. And sitting down they watched him there ; and set up over his head his
accusation written, This is jesus the king of the jews. Then were there two thieves
crucified with him ; one on the right hand, and another on the left. And they that
passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, and saying, Thou that destroyest the
temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God,
come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the
scribes and elders, said, He saved others ; himself he cannot save. If he be the
King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He
trusted in God ; let him deliver him now, if he will have him : for he said, I am
the Son of God. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in
his teeth. � Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the
ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani ? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ?
Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for
Elijah. 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. "
35415 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness : for they kindled a fire,
and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there
came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And when the barbarians saw
the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man
is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to
live.
35363 and when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This
man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This
man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
11994 "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 ; then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and
say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the
door, and flee, and tarry not. � So the young man, even the young man the prophet,
went to Ramoth-gilead. 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. And he arose, and went into the
house ; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord
God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over
Israel. 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. For the whole house of Ahab shall perish : and I will cut
off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left
in Israel : 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 : 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. � 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 his communication. 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. Then they hasted, and took every
man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with
trumpets, saying, Jehu is king. "
6798 "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 : and we took their
land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and
to the half tribe of Manasseh. Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do
them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. � Ye stand this day all of you before
the Lord your God ; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers,
with all the men of Israel, your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is
in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water : that thou
shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the
Lord thy God maketh with thee this day : that he may establish thee today for a
people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee,
and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. �
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath ; 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 : (for ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt ;
and how we came through the nations which ye passed by ; and ye have seen their
abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among
them :) lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose
heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of
these nations ; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and
wormwood ; 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
imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst : the Lord will not spare
him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man,
and all the curses that "
31108 "and wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him ; and he foameth, and gnasheth
with his teeth, and pineth away : and I spake to thy disciples that they should
cast him out ; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless
generation, how long shall I be with you ? how long shall I suffer you ? bring him
unto me. And they brought him unto him : and when he saw him, straightway the
spirit tare him ; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his
father, How long is it ago since this came unto him ? And he said, Of a child. And
ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him : but
if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto
him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And
straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe
; help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he
rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee,
come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him
sore, and came out of him : and he was as one dead ; insomuch that many said, He is
dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up ; and he arose. And when he
was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast
him out ? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer
and fasting. "
31205 and whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even
the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his
life a ransom for many.
3753 "And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And if it be on her bed,
or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until
the even. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall
be unclean seven days ; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. � And if
a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or
if it run beyond the time of her separation ; all the days of the issue of her
uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation : she shall be unclean. Every
bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her
separation : and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness
of her separation. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. But if
she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and
after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two
turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest shall offer the one for a sin
offering, and the other for a burnt offering ; and the priest shall make an
atonement for her before the Lord for the issue of her uncleanness. � Thus shall ye
separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness ; that they die not in their
uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. � This is the law
of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled
therewith ; and of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue,
of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean. "
29468 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother�s eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye ? Or how wilt thou say to thy
brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye ; and, behold, a beam is in
thine own eye ? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye ; and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother�s eye. � Give
not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. "
20637 "And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the
bosom of a stranger ? For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he
pondereth all his goings. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he
shall be holden with the cords of his sins. He shall die without instruction ; and
in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. "
26044 "And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces
of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that
should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies ? � 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 will let the souls
go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. 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. Because with lies ye have made
the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad ; and strengthened the
hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising
him life ; therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations : for I
will deliver my people out of your hand : and ye shall know that I am the Lord. "
31304 "and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength : this is the first
commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said
unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth : for there is one God ; and there
is none other but he : and to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his
neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 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. "
27721 "And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and
shall be broken ; yea, also the prince of the covenant. And after the league made
with him he shall work deceitfully : for he shall come up, and shall become strong
with a small people. He shall enter peaceably 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 the prey, and spoil, and riches : yea, and he
shall forecast his devices against the strongholds, even for a time. And he shall
stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army ;
and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and
mighty army ; but he shall not stand : for they shall forecast devices against him.
Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army
shall overflow : and many shall fall down slain. And both these kings� hearts shall
be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table ; but it shall not
prosper : for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. Then shall he return into
his land with great riches ; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant ; and
he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. � At the time appointed he shall
return, and come toward the south ; but it shall not be as the former, or as the
latter. For the ships of Chittim shall come against him : therefore he shall be
grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant : so shall he
do ; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy
covenant. And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of
strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the
abomination that maketh desolate. And such as do wickedly against the covenant
shall he corrupt by flatteries : but the people that do know their God shall be
strong, and do exploits. "
11485 "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. And he
put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and
said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the
wood. 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. And the water ran round
about the altar ; and he filled the trench also with water. � And it came to pass
at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came
near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day
that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all
these things at thy word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that
thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. Then the
fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the
stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all
the people saw it, they fell on their faces : and they said, The Lord, he is the
God ; the Lord, he is the God. 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. "
14687 "and with wizards : he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke
him to anger. And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house
of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and
in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my
name for ever : neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the
land which I have appointed for your fathers ; so that they will take heed to do
all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the
ordinances by the hand of Moses. So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed
before the children of Israel. � And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his
people : but they would not hearken. Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the
captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns,
and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. And when he was in
affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the
God of his fathers, and 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. � Now after this he built a wall without
the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering
in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great
height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah. 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. And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon
peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of
Israel. Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto
the Lord their God only. "
33893 and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the
beginning.
19695 "and ye little hills, like lambs ? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of
the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob ; which turned the rock into a
standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. "
5814 "And ye returned and wept before the Lord ; but the Lord would not hearken to
your voice, nor give ear unto you. So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto
the days that ye abode there. "
341 "And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin ; and it shall be a token
of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be
circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the
house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 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.
And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised,
that soul shall be cut off from his people ; he hath broken my covenant. � And God
said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but
Sarah [princess] shall her name be. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also
of her : yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations ; kings of
people shall be of her. Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in
his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old ? and shall
Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear ? And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael
might live before thee ! And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son
indeed ; and thou shalt call his name Isaac : and I will establish my covenant with
him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 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. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear
unto thee at this set time in the next year. � And he left off talking with him,
and God went up from Abraham. 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. "
26872 "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. I will also save you from all your
uncleannesses : and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no
famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the
field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Then
shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall
loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you : be ashamed
and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. � Thus saith the Lord God ; In
the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause
you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. And the desolate land
shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And
they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden ; and
the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. Then
the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the
ruined places, and plant that that was desolate : I the Lord have spoken it, and I
will do it. � Thus saith the Lord God ; I will yet for this be inquired of by the
house of Israel, to do it for them ; I will increase them with men like a flock. As
the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts ; so shall the waste
cities be filled with flocks of men : and they shall know that I am the Lord. "
5005 "And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar ;
that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. And I, behold, I have
taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel : to you they are
given as a gift for the Lord, to do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation. Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest�s office
for every thing of the altar, and within the veil ; and ye shall serve : I have
given your priest�s office unto you as a service of gift : and the stranger that
cometh nigh shall be put to death. � And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also
have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of
the children of Israel ; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing,
and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever. This shall be thine of the most holy
things, reserved from the fire : every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of
theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs,
which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons. In
the most holy place shalt thou eat it ; every male shall eat it : it shall be holy
unto thee. And this is thine ; the heave offering of their gift, with 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, by a statute for ever : every one that is clean in
thy house shall eat of it. All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine,
and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the Lord,
them have I given thee. And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall
bring unto the Lord, shall be thine ; every one that is clean in thine house shall
eat of it. Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. Every thing that openeth
the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the Lord, whether it be of men or
beasts, shall be thine : nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely
redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. "
28090 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord
your God, and none else : and my people shall never be ashamed.
29166 "And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my
covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. My covenant was with him of
life and peace ; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and
was afraid before my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not
found in his lips : he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away
from iniquity. 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. But ye are
departed out of the way ; ye have caused many to stumble at the law ; ye have
corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. Therefore have I also made
you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my
ways, but have been partial in the law. � Have we not all one father ? hath not one
God created us ? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by
profaning the covenant of our fathers ? 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 loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange
god. The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out
of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the Lord of
hosts. � And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears,
with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any
more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore ? Because
the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom
thou hast dealt treacherously : yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy
covenant. "
3938 "And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before
you : for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. But I
have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to
possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey : I am the Lord your God, which
have separated you from other people. Ye shall therefore put difference between
clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean : and ye shall not
make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing
that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. And ye
shall be holy unto me : for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other
people, that ye should be mine. � A man also or 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. "
2082 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for
ever. 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. And it
shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this
service ? 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. � And the
children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so
did they.
4141 "And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to
inherit them for a possession ; they shall be your bondmen for ever : but over your
brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor. �
And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by
him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the
stock of the stranger�s family : after that he is sold he may be redeemed again ;
one of his brethren may redeem him : either 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 able, he may redeem himself. And he shall reckon with him that bought him
from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee : and the price of
his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of a
hired servant shall it be with him. If there be yet many years behind, according
unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he
was bought for. And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he
shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the
price of his redemption. And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him : and
the other shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight. And if he be not
redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and
his children with him. 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.
"
13420 "And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose
fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot : and
he also was the son of the giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of
Shimea David�s brother slew him. These were born unto the giant in Gath ; and they
fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. "
37044 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins ; wherein in
time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince
of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience : among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the
lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind ; and were
by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for
his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved ;) and hath raised us up
together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus : that in the
ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace, in his kindness
toward us, through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith ; and that
not of yourselves : it is the gift of God : not of works, lest any man should
boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. "
10706 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. And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the
kingdom. And moreover the king�s servants came to bless our lord king David,
saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne
greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed. And also thus
said the king, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my
throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it. � And all the guests that were with
Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. And Adonijah feared
because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon : for, lo,
he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto
me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword. And Solomon said, If he
will show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth :
but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die. So king Solomon sent, and
they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon
: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.
13318 "and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of
the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon, to offer burnt offerings unto the
Lord upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to
do according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded
Israel ; 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 ; and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that
should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun
were porters. � And all the people departed every man to his house : and David
returned to bless his house. "
25013 "And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are
fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of
the Lord, which I speak unto thee : so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul
shall live. But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the Lord hath
showed me : And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah�s house
shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon�s princes, and those women shall say,
Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee : thy feet are sunk
in the mire, and they are turned away back. So they shall bring out all thy wives
and thy children to the Chaldeans : and thou shalt not escape out of their hand,
but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon : and thou shalt cause this
city to be burned with fire. � Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of
these words, and thou shalt not die. 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 : 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. 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. So Jeremiah
abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken : and he
was there when Jerusalem was taken. "
7583 "and Ziklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah, and Beth-lebaoth, and
Sharuhen ; thirteen cities and their villages : Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan ;
four cities and their villages : and all the villages that were round about these
cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Simeon according to their families. Out of the portion of the
children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon : for the part of
the children of Judah was too much for them : therefore the children of Simeon had
their inheritance within the inheritance of them. � And the third lot came up for
the children of Zebulun according to their families : and the border of their
inheritance was unto Sarid : and their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah,
and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam ; and
turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor,
and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia, and from thence passeth on
along on the east to Gittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to Remmon-methoar
to Neah ; and the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon : and the
outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah-el : and Kattath, and Nahallal, and
Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem : twelve cities with their villages. This is the
inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities
with their villages. � And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of
Issachar according to their families. And their border was toward Jezreel, and
Chesulloth, and Shunem, and Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath, and Rabbith, and
Kishion, and Abez, Remeth, and En-gannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez ; and the
coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh ; and the outgoings of
their border were at Jordan : sixteen cities with their villages. "
29589 "And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve
years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment : for she said within
herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him
about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort ; thy faith hath
made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. And when Jesus came
into the ruler�s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, he
said unto them, Give place : for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they
laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her
by the hand, and the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that
land. "
14082 "And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with
sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not
against the Lord God of your fathers ; for ye shall not prosper. � But Jeroboam
caused an ambushment to come about behind them : so they were before Judah, and the
ambushment was behind them. And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was
before and behind : and they cried unto the Lord, and the priests sounded with the
trumpets. 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. And
the children of Israel fled before Judah : and God delivered them into their hand.
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter : so there fell down
slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. Thus the children of Israel were
brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they
relied upon the Lord God of their fathers. And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and
took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns
thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof. Neither did Jeroboam recover strength
again in the days of Abijah : and the Lord struck him, and he died. But Abijah
waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and
sixteen daughters. And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his
sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo. "
32080 "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 that he would come
into his house : for he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she
lay a dying. � But as he went the people thronged him. And a woman having an issue
of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither
could be healed of any, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment :
and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who touched me ? When
all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng
thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me ? And Jesus said, Somebody
hath touched me : for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman
saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she
declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how
she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort :
thy faith hath made thee whole ; go in peace. � While he yet spake, there cometh
one from the ruler of the synagogue�s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead ;
trouble not the Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear
not : believe only, and she shall be made whole. And when he came into the house,
he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and
the mother of the maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her : but he said, Weep not ;
she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was
dead. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid,
arise. "
11235 "And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord
unto Beth-el : and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And he cried
against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the
Lord ; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name ; and
upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon
thee, and men�s bones shall be burnt upon thee. 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. And it came to pass, when
king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar
in Beth-el, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And
his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in
again to him. 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. And
the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the Lord
thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God
besought the Lord, and the king�s hand was restored him again, and became as it was
before. And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh
thyself, and I will give thee a reward. 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 : "
1283 "And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well-favored kine and fat-
fleshed ; and they fed in a meadow. And, behold, seven other kine came up after
them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed ; and stood by the other kine
upon the brink of the river. And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up
the seven wellfavored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. And he slept and dreamed the
second time : and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and
good. And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after
them. And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh
awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. 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. � Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh,
saying, I do remember my faults this day : Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and
put me in ward in the captain of the guard�s house, both me and the chief baker :
and we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he ; we dreamed each man according to
the interpretation of his dream. And there was there with us a young man, a 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. And it came to pass,
as he interpreted to us, so it was ; me he restored unto mine office, and him he
hanged. � 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. 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 thou canst understand a
dream to interpret it. "
30171 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Jesus
passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And the
multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace : but they cried the
more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And Jesus stood still,
and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you ? They say unto
him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and
touched their eyes : and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed
him.
34627 "another nation ; but God hath showed me that I should not call any man
common or unclean. Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was
sent for : I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me ? � And Cornelius
said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour ; and at the ninth hour I prayed
in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, and said,
Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight
of God. Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter ; he
is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side : who, when he cometh,
shall speak unto thee. Immediately therefore I sent to thee ; and thou hast well
done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear
all things that are commanded thee of God. "
8771 "answer him, Nay ; but thou shalt give it me now : and if not, I will take it
by force. Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord : for
men abhorred the offering of the Lord. � But Samuel ministered before the Lord,
being a child, girded with a linen ephod. Moreover his mother made him a little
coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to
offer the yearly sacrifice. And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The
Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they
went unto their own home. � And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and
bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord. � Now
Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel ; and how they
lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation. And he said unto them, Why do ye such things ? for I hear of your
evil dealings by all this people. Nay, my sons ; for it is no good report that I
hear : ye make the Lord�s people to transgress. If one man sin against another, the
judge 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. � And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both
with the Lord, and also with men. � And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said
unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father,
when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh�s house ? And did I choose him out of all the
tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to
wear an ephod before me ? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the
offerings made by fire of the children of Israel ? "

36771 "Are they ministers of Christ ? (I speak as a fool,) I am more ; in labors
more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with
rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been
in the deep ; in journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in
perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in
perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren ; in
weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings
often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which
cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not
weak ? who is offended, and I burn not ? � If I must needs glory, I will glory of
the things which concern mine infirmities. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. In Damascus the
governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison,
desirous to apprehend me : and through a window in a basket was I let down by the
wall, and escaped his hands. "

tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in
this book of the law : so that the generation to come of your children that shall
rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say,
when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the Lord hath laid
upon it ; and that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that
it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of
Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in
his wrath : even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this
land ? what meaneth the heat of this great anger ? Then men shall say, Because they
have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with
them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt : for they went and served
other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given
unto them : and the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon
it all the curses that are written in this book : and the Lord rooted them out of
their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into
another land, as it is this day. � The secret things belong unto the Lord our God :

22739 Ariel and Her Enemies
23951 "Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces. � For thus
hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against
Jerusalem : this is the city to be visited ; she is wholly oppression in the midst
of her. As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness :
violence and spoil is heard in her ; before me continually is grief and wounds. Be
thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee ; lest I make thee
desolate, a land not inhabited. � Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall
thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine : turn back thine hand as a grape
gatherer into the baskets. To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may
hear ? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken : behold, the
word of the Lord is unto them a reproach ; they have no delight in it. Therefore I
am full of the fury of the Lord ; I am weary with holding in : I will pour it out
upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together : for even
the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives
together : for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith
the Lord. 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. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly,
saying, Peace, peace ; when there is no peace. 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. � 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. "
11426 "Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there :
behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. So he arose and went
to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was
there gathering of sticks : and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee,
a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 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.
And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal
in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse : and, behold, I am gathering two sticks,
that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 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 unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
For thus saith the Lord 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. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah : and she, and he,
and her house, did eat many days. And 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.
� 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. And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of
God ? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son ? And
he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried
him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. And he cried

with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son ? "
23593 "Arise, shine ; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen
upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the
people : but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy
rising. � Lift up thine eyes round about, and see : all they gather themselves
together, they come to thee : thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall
be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart
shall fear, and be enlarged ; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted
unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of camels
shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah ; all they from Sheba shall
come : they shall bring gold and incense ; and they shall show forth the praises of
the Lord. 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. "
245 "Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it ;

35157 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and
leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers ? But Paul
said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean
city : and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. And when he had
given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the
people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew
tongue, saying,
23675 "As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to
rest ; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. "
21450 "As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear ; so is a wicked ruler over the poor
people. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor : but he
that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. A man that doeth violence to the
blood of any person shall flee to the pit ; let no man stay him. Whoso walketh
uprightly shall be saved : but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread : but he that followeth after
vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with
blessings : but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. To have
respect of persons is not good : for, for a piece of bread that man will
transgress. He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that
poverty shall come upon him. He that rebuketh a man, afterward shall find more
favor than he that flattereth with the tongue. Whoso robbeth his father or his
mother, and saith, It is no transgression ; the same is the companion of a
destroyer. He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife : but he that putteth his
trust in the Lord shall be made fat. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool :
but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. He that giveth unto the poor shall
not lack : but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. When the wicked
rise, men hide themselves : but when they perish, the righteous increase. "

19390 "as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. The high hills are a refuge
for the wild goats ; and the rocks for the conies. He appointed the moon for
seasons : the sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night :
wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. The young lions roar after
their prey, and seek their meat from God. The sun ariseth, they gather themselves
together, and lay them down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his
labor until the evening. O Lord, how manifold are thy works ! In wisdom hast thou
made them all : the earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and wide sea,
wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the
ships : there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. These wait
all upon thee ; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. That thou
givest them they gather : thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. Thou
hidest thy face, they are troubled : thou takest away their breath, they die, and
return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created : and thou
renewest the face of the earth. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever : the
Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth : he

and the south thou hast created them : Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
Thou hast a mighty arm : strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice
and judgment are the habitation of thy throne : mercy and truth shall go before thy
face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound : they shall walk, O Lord,
in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day : and
in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art the glory of their
strength : and in thy favor our horn shall be exalted. For the Lord is our
defense ; and the Holy One of Israel is our King. Then thou spakest in vision to
thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty ; I have exalted
one chosen out of the people. I have found David my servant ; with my holy oil
have I anointed him : with whom my hand shall be established : mine arm also shall
strengthen him. The enemy shall not exact upon him ; nor the son of wickedness
afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that
hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him : and in my name shall
his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the
rivers. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my
salvation. Also I will make him my firstborn, "
2841 "as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we
wot not what is become of him. And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden
earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters,
and bring them unto me. And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were
in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. And he received them at their hand, and
fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf : and they
said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it ; and Aaron made proclamation,
and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord. 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. � And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get
thee down ; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have
corrupted themselves : 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 thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have
brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen
this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people : 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. � 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 ? Wherefore should the
Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the
mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth ? Turn from thy fierce
wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. "
21378 "As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool.
As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of
fools. The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth
transgressors. As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit ? There is more hope of a fool than of
him. The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way ; a lion is in the streets.
As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. The
slothful hideth his hand in his bosom ; it grieveth him to bring it again to his
mouth. The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a
reason. He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like
one that taketh a dog by the ears. As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and
death, so is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport ?
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out : so where there is no talebearer, the
strife ceaseth. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire ; so is a
contentious man to kindle strife. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they
go down into the innermost parts of the belly. Burning lips and a wicked heart are
like a potsherd covered with silver dross. He that hateth dissembleth with his
lips, and layeth up deceit within him ; when he speaketh fair, believe him not :
for there are seven abominations in his heart. "

had gathered little had no lack. � But thanks be to God, which put the same
earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. For indeed he accepted the
exhortation ; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you. And we
have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the
churches ; and not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel
with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord,

this abundance which is administered by us : providing for honest things, not only
in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. And we have sent with them
our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much
more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you. Whether any do
inquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellow helper concerning you : or our
brethren be inquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of

banished. For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot

means, that his banished be not expelled from him. Now therefore that I am come to
speak of this thing 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 handmaid. For the king will hear, to deliver
his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together
out of the inheritance of God. Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the
king shall now be comfortable : for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to
discern good and bad : therefore the Lord thy God will be with thee. � Then the
king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing
that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak. And the
king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this ? And the woman answered
and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or
to the left from 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 : to fetch about
this form of speech 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. � And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing : go
therefore, bring the young man Absalom again. And Joab fell to the ground on his
face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king : and Joab said, Today thy servant
knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king
hath fulfilled the request of his servant. "
21361 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a fool.

not come. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool�s
back. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. He that
sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

33975 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell

Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he : if therefore ye seek me,
let these go their way : that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of
them which thou gavest me have I lost none. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew
it, and smote the high priest�s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant�s

unto me, Where is thy God ? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in
me : for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with
the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Why art thou cast
down, O my soul ? And why art thou disquieted in me ? Hope thou in God : for I
shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast
down within me : therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the
Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy
waterspouts : all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the Lord will
command his loving-kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with
me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast

delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelt safe. 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. Now therefore, behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have
desired ! and, behold, the Lord hath set a king over you. If ye will fear the Lord,
and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the
Lord ; then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue
following the Lord your God : but if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but
rebel against the commandment of the Lord ; then shall the hand of the Lord be
against you, as it was against your fathers. Now therefore stand and see this great
thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes. Is it not wheat harvest today ? I
will call unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain ; that ye may perceive
and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord,
in asking you a king. 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. � 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. And
Samuel said unto the people, Fear not : ye have done all this wickedness : yet turn
not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart ; and
turn ye not aside : for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit
nor deliver ; for they are vain. "

went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh. 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. And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a
Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone : and they clave the
wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the Lord. 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. And
when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same
day. � And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a
trespass offering unto the Lord ; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one,
for Gath one, for Ekron one ; 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 of Abel, whereon they set down
the ark of the Lord : which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua,
the Beth-shemite. � And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked
into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore
and ten men : and the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the
people with a great slaughter. And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to
stand before this holy Lord God ? and to whom shall he go up from us ? And they
sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have
brought again the ark of the Lord ; come ye down, and fetch it up to you. "

which told me that I should be king over this people. 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. � And Jeroboam�s wife did so, and arose, and went
to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see ; for his eyes
were set by reason of his age. And the Lord said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of
Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son ; for he is sick : thus and thus
shalt thou say unto her : for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign
herself to be another woman. � 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.
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee
from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and rent the
kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee : and yet thou hast not been

his servants, This is John the Baptist ; he is risen from the dead ; and therefore
mighty works do show forth themselves in him. For Herod had laid hold on John, and
bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias� sake, his brother Philip�s wife. For
John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. And when he would have
put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
But when Herod�s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them,
and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
would ask. And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John
Baptist�s head in a charger. And the king was sorry : nevertheless for the oath�s
sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. And he
sent, and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger, and
given to the damsel : and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came, and
took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. "

disciples were ahungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. But when
the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is
not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. But he said unto them, Have ye not read what
David did, when he was ahungered, and they that were with him ; how he entered into
the house of God, and did eat the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat,
neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests ? Or have ye not
read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the
sabbath, and are blameless ? But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater
than the temple. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord
even of the sabbath day. "
23032 At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent
letters and a present to Hezekiah : for he had heard that he had been sick, and was
recovered. And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious
things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and
all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures : there was
nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not. 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. 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 showed them.

the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. And I
will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou
brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. And I made an ark of shittim wood, and
hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having
the two tables in mine hand. 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.
And I turned myself 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. � And the children
of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera :
there Aaron died, and there he was buried ; and Eleazar his son ministered in the
priest�s office in his stead. From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah ; and from
Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters. 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. Wherefore Levi
hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren ; the Lord is his inheritance,

to the first time, forty days and forty nights ; and the Lord hearkened unto me at
that time also, and the Lord would not destroy thee. "

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. And
death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of
this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith

they fall, and not arise ? shall he turn away, and not return ? Why then is this
people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding ? they hold fast
deceit, they refuse to return. I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright :
no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done ? every one turned
to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. Yea, the stork in the heaven
knoweth her appointed times ; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe
the time of their coming ; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. � How
do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us ? Lo, certainly in vain
made he it ; the pen of the scribes is in vain. The wise men are ashamed, they are
dismayed and taken : lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord ; and what wisdom
is in them ? Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to
them that shall inherit 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. For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly,
saying, Peace, peace ; when there is no peace. "
6303 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
24884 "At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother a Hebrew, which
hath been sold unto thee ; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let
him go free from thee : but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined
their ear. And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming
liberty every man to his neighbor ; and ye had made a covenant before me in the
house which is called by my name : but ye turned and polluted my name, and caused
every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at
their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for
servants and for handmaids. � Therefore thus saith the Lord ; Ye have not hearkened
unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his
neighbor : behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to
the pestilence, and to the famine ; and I will make you to be removed into all the
kingdoms of the earth. And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant,
which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me,
when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof, 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 ; 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. 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. Behold, I will
command, saith the Lord, and cause them to return to this city ; and they shall
fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire : and I will make the cities
of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant. "
6384 "At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy
of death be put to death ; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to
death. The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and
afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among
you. � 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 into the
place which the Lord thy God shall choose ; and thou shalt come unto the priests
the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire ; and they
shall show thee the sentence of judgment : and thou shalt do according to the
sentence, which they of that place which the Lord shall choose shall show thee ;
and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee : according to
the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment
which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do : thou shalt not decline from the
sentence which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. And the
man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken 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. And all the people shall hear,
and fear, and do no more presumptuously. "
25237 "At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the
rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not
look back to their children for feebleness of hands ; because of the day that
cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every
helper that remaineth : for the Lord will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the
country of Caphtor. Baldness is come upon Gaza ; Ashkelon is cut off with the
remnant of their valley : how long wilt thou cut thyself ? 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. How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge
against Ashkelon, and against the seashore ? there hath he appointed it. "
30037 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest
in the kingdom of heaven ? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him
in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and
become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest
in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
receiveth me.
27484 "At the same time my reason returned unto me ; and for the glory of my
kingdom, mine honor and brightness returned unto me ; and my counselors and my
lords sought unto me ; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty
was added unto me. Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor the King of
heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment : and those that walk in
pride he is able to abase. "
24725 "At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of
Israel, and they shall be my people. 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. The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee
with an everlasting love : therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee. Again
I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel : thou shalt again
be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make
merry. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria : the planters
shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. For there shall be a day, that
the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion
unto the Lord our God. "
16897 "At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. Hear
attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. He
directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
After it a voice roareth : he thundereth with the voice of his excellency ; and he
will not stay them when his voice is heard. God thundereth marvelously with his
voice ; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. For he saith to the
snow, Be thou on the earth ; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of
his strength. He sealeth up the hand of every man ; that all men may know his work.
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. Out of the south cometh
the whirlwind : and cold out of the north. By the breath of God frost is given :
and the breadth of the waters is straitened. Also by watering he wearieth the thick
cloud : he scattereth his bright cloud : "

20598 "Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. For they sleep not,
except they have done mischief ; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause
some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto
the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness : they know not at what they
stumble. My son, attend to my words ; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them
not depart from thine eyes ; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are
life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with
all diligence ; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward
mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, and let
thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all
thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left : remove thy
foot from evil. "
36447 "Awake to righteousness, and sin not ; for some have not the knowledge of God
: I speak this to your shame. � But some man will say, How are the dead raised up ?
and with what body do they come ? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not
quickened, except it die : and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body
that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain : but
God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All
flesh is not the same flesh : but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh
of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial
bodies, and bodies terrestrial : but the glory of the celestial is one, and the
glory of the terrestrial is another. 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. � So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
corruption, it is raised in incorruption : it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in
glory : it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power : it is sown a natural body,
it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual
body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul ; the last
Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural ; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is
of the earth, earthy : the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy,
such are they also that are earthy : and as is the heavenly, such are they also
that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear
the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God ; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. "
23417 "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. Shake thyself from the dust ; arise, and sit down, O
Jerusalem : loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. �
For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought ; and ye shall be
redeemed without money. For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime
into Egypt to sojourn there ; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now
therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for
nought ? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord ; and my name
continually every day is blasphemed. "
24643 "Babylon, saith the Lord : for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
� 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,
even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen : the Lord do so : the Lord perform thy words
which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the Lord�s house, and all
that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place. Nevertheless, hear thou
now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people ; The
prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against
many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
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. � Then
Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah�s neck, and brake
it. 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 from the
neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah
went his way. � Then the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after
that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet
Jeremiah, saying, Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord ; Thou hast
broken the yokes of wood ; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 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. "

of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred
fourscore and four. � Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren that
kept the gates, were a hundred seventy and two. And the residue of Israel, of the
priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his
inheritance. But the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel : and Ziha and Gispa were over the
Nethinim. � The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani,
the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph,
the singers were over the business of the house of God. For it was the king�s
commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, due
for every day. And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the
son of Judah, was at the king�s hand in all matters concerning the people.
7423 "Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay
with the sword among them that were slain by them. And the border of the children
of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the
children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof. � And
Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad
according to their families. And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of
Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before
Rabbah ; and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim ; and from Mahanaim unto
the border of Debir ; and in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth,
and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his
border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan
eastward. This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the
cities, and their villages. � And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of
Manasseh : and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of
Manasseh by their families. And their coast 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 : and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the
kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of
Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families. � These
are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab,
on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward. But unto the tribe of Levi Moses
gave not any inheritance : the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said
unto them. "

set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt
endamage the revenue of the kings. Now because we have maintenance from the king�s
palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king�s dishonor, therefore have we
sent and certified the king ; 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
destroyed. We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls
thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river. �
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 unto the rest beyond
the river, Peace, and at such a time. The letter which ye sent unto us hath been
plainly read before me. And I commanded, 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. There have been mighty kings also over
Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river ; and toll,
tribute, and custom, was paid unto them. Give ye now commandment to cause these men
to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be
given from me. Take heed now that ye fail not to do this : why should damage grow
to the hurt of the kings ? � Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes� letter was read
before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste
to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. "

that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. My
soul is among lions : and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons

was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to
the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king�s house, to the
custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained
kindness of him ; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such
things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out
of the king�s house : and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the
house of the women. Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred : for Mordecai
had charged her that she should not show it. And Mordecai walked every day before
the court of the women�s house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of
her. � Now when every maid�s turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that
she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the
days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and
six months with sweet odors, and with other things for the purifying of the women,)
then thus came every 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. 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. � 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 favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

rejoice : wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David
without a cause ? And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan : and Saul sware,
As the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain. And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan
showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his
presence, as in times past. � And there was war again : and David went out, and
fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter ; and they fled
from him. And the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, as he sat in his house
with his javelin in his hand : and David played with his hand. And Saul sought to
smite David even to the wall with the javelin ; but he slipped away out of Saul�s
presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall : and David fled, and escaped that
night. � Saul also 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 tonight, tomorrow thou shalt be slain. So Michal let David down through a
window : and he went, and fled, and escaped. And Michal took an image, and laid it
in the bed, and put a pillow of goats� hair for his bolster, and covered it with a

sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that
I may slay him. And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in
the bed, with a pillow of goats� hair for his bolster. And Saul said unto Michal,
Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped ? And

judgments with Israel. � And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion�s whelp : he shall leap
from Bashan. � And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full
with the blessing of the Lord, possess thou the west and the south. � And of Asher
he said, Let Asher be blessed with children ; let him be acceptable to his
brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. Thy shoes shall be iron and brass ; and
as thy days, so shall thy strength be. There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun,
who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. The
eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms : and he shall
thrust out the enemy from before thee ; and shall say, Destroy them. Israel then
shall dwell in safety alone : the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn
and wine ; also his heavens shall drop down dew. Happy art thou, O Israel : who is
like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the
sword of thy excellency ! And thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee ; and
thou shalt tread upon their high places. "

Israel, neither seek the Lord ! Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will
not call back his words : but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and
against the help of them that work iniquity. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God
; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his hand,
both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they
all shall fail together. � For thus hath the Lord spoken unto me, Like as the lion
and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called
forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the
noise of them : so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and
for the hill thereof. As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem ;
defending also he will deliver it ; and passing over he will preserve it. � Turn ye
unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. For in that day
every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your
own hands have made unto you for a sin. Then shall the Assyrian fall with the
sword, not of a mighty man ; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him :
but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. And he
shall pass over to his stronghold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the
ensign, saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. "
26277 "because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but
polluted my sabbaths : for their heart went after their idols. Nevertheless mine
eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the
wilderness. � But 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 : I am the Lord your God ; walk in my statutes, and keep my
judgments, and do them ; 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. Notwithstanding, 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 even live in them ; they polluted
my sabbaths. � Then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my
anger against them in the wilderness. Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and
wrought for my name�s sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the
heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth. I lifted up mine hand unto them also
in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them
through the countries ; because they had not executed my judgments, but had
despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their
fathers� idols. Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and
judgments whereby they should not live ; 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. �
Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord God ; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have
committed a trespass against me. "
24683 "because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, which I sent
unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them ; but ye
would not hear, saith the Lord. Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all ye of
the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon : Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of 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 ; and of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah
which are in Babylon, saying, The Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom
the king of Babylon roasted in the fire ; because they have committed villainy in
Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors� wives, and have spoken
lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them ; even I know, and am a
witness, saith the Lord. � Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite,
saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou
hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to
Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying, The Lord
hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be
officers in the house of the Lord, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a
prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks. Now therefore
why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to
you ? For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long :
build ye houses, and dwell in them ; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
� And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, "
27155 "Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house
of Israel to fall into iniquity ; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against
them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity. And they shall not
come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of
my holy things, in the most holy place : but they shall bear their shame, and their
abominations which they have committed. But I will make them keepers of the charge
of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
� 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 : they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall
come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. And it
shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they
shall be clothed with linen garments ; and no wool shall come upon them, while they
minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. They shall have linen bonnets
upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins ; they shall not
gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat. 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 ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall
put on other garments ; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long ; they
shall only poll their heads. Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter
into the inner court. "

save us. Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine ; and we shall be saved.
O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people ?
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears ; and givest them tears to drink in great
measure. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors : and our enemies laugh among
themselves. Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine ; and we
shall be saved. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt : thou hast cast out the
heathen, and planted it. Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take
deep root, and it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it,
and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto
the sea, and her branches unto the river. Why hast thou then broken down her
hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her ? The boar out of the
wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. Return, we
beseech thee, O God of hosts : look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this
vine ; and the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou
madest strong for thyself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down : they perish at
the rebuke of thy countenance. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, "
28711 "Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. He
stood, and measured the earth : he beheld, and drove asunder the nations ; and the
everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow : his ways are
everlasting. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction : and the curtains of the land
of Midian did tremble. Was the Lord displeased against the rivers ? Was thine anger
against the rivers ? Was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine
horses and thy chariots of salvation ? Thy bow was made quite naked, according to
the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with
rivers. The mountains saw thee, and they trembled : the overflowing of the water
passed by : the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high. The sun
and moon stood still in their habitation : at the light of thine arrows they went,
and at the shining of thy glittering spear. Thou didst march through the land in
indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. Thou wentest forth for the
salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed ; thou woundedst
the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the
neck. Selah. Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages :
they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me : their rejoicing was as to devour the
poor secretly. "

But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have
much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you ; until the Lord
have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also
possess the land which the Lord your God hath given them beyond Jordan : and then
shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you. 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 passest. Ye shall not fear them : for the Lord your God he shall fight
for you. "

king of Israel. And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the
trumpeters sounded : and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with
him bowed themselves, and worshipped. Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes
commanded the Levites to sing praise 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. � 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 free heart, burnt offerings. And the number of the burnt
offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, a
hundred rams, and two hundred lambs : all these were for a burnt offering to the
Lord. And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
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 other priests had sanctified themselves : for the Levites were more
upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. And also the burnt
offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink
offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the Lord was set
in order. And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the
people : for the thing was done suddenly. "

bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench : he
shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till
he have set judgment in the earth : and the isles shall wait for his law. � Thus

man, and there can be no opening. Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry
up : also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. With him is strength
and wisdom : the deceived and the deceiver are his. He leadeth counselors away
spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth
their loins with a girdle. He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the
mighty. He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the
understanding of the aged. He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the
strength of the mighty. He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth
out to light the shadow of death. He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them :
he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. He taketh away the heart of
the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness
where there is no way. They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to
stagger like a drunken man.

to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it
will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. And he also
that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt : for
all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are
valiant men. Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered 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. So shall we come upon him in some place
where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the
ground : and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so
much as one. 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. And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of
Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the Lord had
appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the Lord
might bring evil upon Absalom. � 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 counseled. Now therefore send quickly, and tell David,
saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass
over ; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him. Now
Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel ; for they might not be seen to come into
the city : and a wench went and told them ; and they went and told king David.
Nevertheless, a lad saw them, and told Absalom : but they went both of them away
quickly, and came to a man�s house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court ;
whither they went down. And the woman took and spread a covering over the well�s
mouth, and spread ground corn thereon ; and the thing was not known. "
8508 "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 so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him : so the man
took 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. 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. � 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, and her
hands were upon the threshold. And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But
none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat
him unto his place. And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid
hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve
pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel. 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
advice, and speak your minds. "
20143 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity ! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the
beard, even Aaron�s beard : that went down to the skirts of his garments ; as the
dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion : for there
the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. "

continually before me. Thy children shall make haste ; thy destroyers and they that
made thee waste shall go forth of thee. Lift up thine eyes round about, and

the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and
bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. � For thy waste and thy desolate places, and
the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the
inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. The children which
thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The
place is too strait for me : give place to me that I may dwell. Then shalt thou say
in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am
desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro ? and who hath brought up these ?
Behold, I was left alone ; these, where had they been ? � Thus saith the Lord God,
Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the
people : and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be
carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their
queens thy nursing mothers : they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the
earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet ; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord :
for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. � Shall the prey be taken from the
mighty, or the lawful captive delivered ? 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. 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 : "

had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness : I said in the cutting off of my
days, I shall go to the gates of the grave : I am deprived of the residue of my
years. 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. Mine age is departed,
and is removed from me as a shepherd�s tent : I have cut off like a weaver my
life : he will cut me off with pining sickness : from day even to night wilt thou
make an end of me. I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all
my bones : from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. Like a crane or a
swallow, so did I chatter : I did mourn as a dove : mine eyes fail with looking
upward : O Lord, I am oppressed ; undertake for me. What shall I say ? He hath both
spoken unto me, and himself hath done it : I shall go softly all my years in the
bitterness of my soul. O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is
the life of my spirit : so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live. Behold, for
peace I had great bitterness ; but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from
the pit of corruption : for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. "

and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger
of the covenant, whom ye delight in : behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of
hosts. 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 : and he
shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver : and he shall purify the sons of
Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an
offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be
pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. � 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. "

of thee. 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. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations,
as when he fought in the day of battle. 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. And ye shall flee to the valley of the
mountains ; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal : 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 saints with thee. � And it
shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark : but
it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night : but it
shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. � And it shall be in
that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem ; half of them toward the
former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea : in summer and in winter shall
it be. � And the Lord shall be King over all the earth : in that day shall there be
one Lord, and his name one. � All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to
Rimmon south of Jerusalem : and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place,

ear heavy, that it cannot hear : but your iniquities have separated between you and
your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. For your
hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity ; your lips have
spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. None calleth for justice, nor
any pleadeth for truth : they trust in vanity, and speak lies ; they conceive
mischief, and bring forth iniquity. They hatch cockatrice� eggs, and weave the
spider�s web : he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed
breaketh out into a viper. 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. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed
innocent blood : their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity ; wasting and destruction
are in their paths. "

shall know that I am the Lord. For thus saith the Lord God ; Because thou hast
clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy
despite against the land of Israel ; behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand
upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen ; and I will cut thee
off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries : I will

it : and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the
Lord. And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O Lord God of Israel, which
dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the
kingdoms of the earth ; thou hast made heaven and earth. Lord, bow down thine ear,
and hear : open, Lord, thine eyes, and see : and hear the words of Sennacherib,
which hath sent him to reproach the living God. Of a truth, Lord, the kings of
Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands, 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. Now therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech thee,
save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou
art the Lord God, even thou only. � Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah,
saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me
against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard. This is the word that the Lord
hath spoken concerning him ; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee,
and laughed thee to scorn ; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high ? even against the Holy One of Israel. "

knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy

found, call ye upon him while he is near : 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. For my thoughts are
not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts. � 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, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater : 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. � For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with

up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree : and it

fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in
it : and it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us
because of our sins : also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle,
at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and
shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him : and
the third day he shall rise again. "
38788 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should
be called the sons of God : therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him
not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be : but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him ; for we shall
see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even
as he is pure. � Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law : for sin is
the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our
sins ; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not : whosoever
sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive
you : he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. "

glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof
falleth away : but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word
which by the gospel is preached unto you.
35655 "Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I
speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh : for as ye
have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity ;
even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. � For when
ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye
then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed ? for the end of those things is
death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your
fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death ;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "

the cattle : your carriages were heavy laden ; they are a burden to the weary
beast. They stoop, they bow down together ; they could not deliver the burden, but
themselves are gone into captivity. � Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all
the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are
carried from the womb : and even to your old age I am he ; and even to hoar hairs
will I carry you : I have made, and I will bear ; even I will carry, and will
deliver you. � To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we
may be like ? They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and
hire a goldsmith ; and he maketh it a god : they fall down, yea, they worship. 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

yourselves men : bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. Remember the former

pleasure : calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel

God : because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the
Spirit of God : Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is of God : and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is not of God : and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard
that it should come ; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God,
little children, and have overcome them : because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world. They are of the world : therefore speak they of the
world, and the world heareth them. We are of God : he that knoweth God heareth us ;
he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the
spirit of error. "

wine before the thousand. � Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to
bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out
of the temple which was in Jerusalem ; that the king and his princes, his wives and
his concubines, might drink therein. Then they brought the golden vessels that were
taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem ; and the king
and his princes, his wives and his concubines, drank in them. They drank wine, and
praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
� In the same hour came forth fingers of a man�s hand, and wrote over against the
candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king�s palace : and the king saw
the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king�s countenance was changed, and his
thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees
smote one against another. The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the
Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of
Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof,
shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall

thine ; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. � And I
bought the field of Hanameel my uncle�s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him
the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. And I subscribed the evidence, and
sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. So I took
the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and
custom, and that which was open : and I gave the evidence of the purchase unto
Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine
uncle�s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the
purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. And I charged
Baruch before them, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Take
these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this
evidence which is open ; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue
many days. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Houses and fields
and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. � Now when I had delivered the
evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord,
saying, Ah Lord God ! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great
power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee : thou showest
loving-kindness 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 ; great in counsel, and mighty in work : for thine 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 : which hast set signs and wonders in the land
of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men ; and hast made
thee a name, as at this day ; "

the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days : on the first day shall
be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. And ye shall take you on
the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of
thick trees, and willows of the brook ; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your
God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year :
it shall be a statute for ever in your generations ; ye shall celebrate it in the
seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths seven days ; all that are Israelites born
shall dwell in booths : 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

sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. And of it he shall offer one out

sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that
it is offered ; he shall not leave any of it until the morning. But if the
sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the
same day that he offereth his sacrifice ; and on the morrow also the remainder of
it shall be eaten : but the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third
day shall be burnt with fire. And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace
offerings be eaten at all 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. � And the flesh that toucheth any
unclean thing shall not be eaten ; it shall be burnt with fire : and as for the
flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof. But the soul that eateth of the flesh
of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the Lord, having his
uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. Moreover the
soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean
beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of
peace offerings, which pertain unto the Lord, even that soul shall be cut off from
his people. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. And
the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with
beasts, may be used in any other use : but ye shall in no wise eat of it. "
21043 "Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of
sacrifices with strife. A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth
shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. The fining pot is
for silver, and the furnace for gold : but the Lord trieth the hearts. A wicked
doer giveth heed to false lips ; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. Whoso
mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker : and he that is glad at calamities shall
not be unpunished. Children�s children are the crown of old men ; and the glory of
children are their fathers. Excellent speech becometh not a fool : much less do
lying lips a prince. A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath
it : whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. He that covereth a transgression
seeketh love ; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. A reproof
entereth more into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool. An evil man
seeketh only rebellion : therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. Let
a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, "

in his lips, and is a fool. Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not
good ; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. The foolishness of man perverteth
his way : and his heart fretteth against the Lord. Wealth maketh many friends ; but
the poor is separated from his neighbor. A false witness shall not be unpunished ;
and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. Many will entreat the favor of the
prince : and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. All the brethren of
the poor do hate him : how much more do his friends go far from him ? He pursueth
them with words, yet they are wanting to him. He that getteth wisdom loveth his own
soul : "

Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together
to battle : the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the
breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved

man, that thou takest knowledge of him ! or the son of man, that thou makest
account of him ! Man is like to vanity : his days are as a shadow that passeth

smoke. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them : shoot out thine arrows, and destroy
them. Send thine hand from above ; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from
the hand of strange children ; whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is

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. � And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in
from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones. And the king made of
the almug trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king�s house, harps
also and psalteries for singers : there came no such almug trees, nor were seen
unto this day. � And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire,

enemies. The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing : thou wilt make
all his bed in his sickness. I said, Lord, be merciful unto me : heal my soul ; for
I have sinned against thee. Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and
his name perish ? And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity : his heart
gathereth iniquity to itself ; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. All that hate
me whisper together against me : against me do they devise my hurt. An evil
disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him : and now that he lieth he shall rise up
no more. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my
bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me,
and raise me up, that I may requite them. By this I know that thou favorest me,

drought of summer. Selah. 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. For this shall every one that is godly

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth
his fruit in his season ; his leaf also shall not wither ; and whatsoever he doeth
shall prosper. The ungodly are not so : but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in
the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous :

21399 "Boast not thyself of tomorrow ; for thou knowest not what a day may bring
forth. Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth ; a stranger, and not
thine own lips. A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty ; but a fool�s wrath is
heavier than them both. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous ; but who is able
to stand before envy ? Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the
wounds of a friend ; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. The full soul
loatheth a honeycomb ; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. As a
bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart : so doth the sweetness of a man�s friend by
hearty counsel. Thine own friend, and thy father�s friend, forsake not ; neither go
into thy brother�s house in the day of thy calamity : for better is a neighbor that
is near than a brother far off. My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may
answer him that reproacheth me. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth
himself ; but the simple pass on, and are punished. Take his garment that is surety
for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. "

known to thee this day, even to thee. Have not I written to thee excellent things
in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words
of truth ; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee
? Rob not the poor, because he is poor : neither oppress the afflicted in the
gate : for the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that
spoiled them. Make no friendship with an angry man ; and with a furious man thou
shalt not go ; lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul. Be not thou
one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts. If thou hast
nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee ? Remove not the
ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. "

soul ; for I am holy : O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be

Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to
understand the law : and the people stood in their place. So they read in the book
in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the
reading. � And Nehemiah, which is 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. Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and
drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared : for
this day is holy unto our Lord : neither be ye sorry ; for the joy of the Lord is
your strength. So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for
the day is holy ; neither be ye grieved. 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. � And on the second day were
gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the
Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law. And they
found written in the law which the Lord had commanded by Moses, that the children
of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month : 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 pine branches, and myrtle branches,
and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one
upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, "
14913 "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 set forward the work of the house of the Lord. Then stood Jeshua with
his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to
set forward the workmen in the house of God : the sons of Henadad, with their sons
and their brethren the Levites. � And when the builders laid the foundation of the
temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the
Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the ordinance of
David king of Israel. And they sang together by course in praising and giving
thanks unto the Lord ; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward
Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord,
because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. But many of the priests
and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient 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 : 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. "
36977 "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore
such a one in the spirit of meekness ; considering thyself, lest thou also be
tempted. Bear ye one another�s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a
man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But
let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself
alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. "

both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth ; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply
upon the earth. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons�
wives with him : every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever
creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. � 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. And the Lord smelled a sweet
savor ; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more
for man�s sake ; for the imagination of man�s heart is evil from his youth :
neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. While the
earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter,
and day and night shall not cease. "
739 "Bring me venison, and make me savory meat, that I may eat, and bless thee
before the Lord before my death. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to
that which I command thee. Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good
kids of the goats ; and I will make them savory meat for thy father, such as he
loveth : and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may
bless thee before his death. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my
brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man : 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. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son : only
obey my voice, and go fetch me them. And he went, and fetched, and brought them to
his mother : and his mother made savory meat, such as his father loved. And Rebekah
took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and
put them upon Jacob her younger son : and she put the skins of the kids of the
goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck : and she gave the savory
meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. � And
he came unto his father, and said, My father : and he said, Here am I ; who art
thou, my son ? 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. 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 brought it to
me. 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. "

thereof be strongly laid ; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth
thereof threescore cubits ; with three rows of great stones, and a row of new
timber : and let the expenses be given out of the king�s house : and also let the
golden 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 his place, and
place them in the house of God. � Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river,
Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river,
be ye far from thence : 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 his place.
Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the
building of this house of God : that of the king�s goods, even of the tribute
beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not
hindered. And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and
lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil,
according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given
them day by day without fail : that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savors unto
the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons. Also I have
made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from
his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon ; and let his house be made
a dunghill for this. And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy
all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this
house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree ; let it be done
with speed. � Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and
their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did
speedily. "

34340 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
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. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath
Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the
price of the land ? While it remained, was it not thine own ? and after it was
sold, was it not in thine own power ? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine
heart ? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words
fell down, and gave up the ghost : and great fear came on all them that heard these
things. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
� And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what
was done, came in. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land
for so much ? And she said, Yea, for so much. Then 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 shall carry thee out. Then
fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost : and the young men
came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
20883 "but a false witness deceit. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a
sword : but the tongue of the wise is health. The lip of truth shall be established
for ever : but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of them
that imagine evil : but to the counselors of peace is joy. There shall no evil
happen to the just : but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. Lying lips are
abomination to the Lord : but they that deal truly are his delight. A prudent man
concealeth knowledge : but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. The hand of
the diligent shall bear rule : but the slothful shall be under tribute. Heaviness
in the heart of man maketh it stoop : but a good word maketh it glad. The righteous
is more excellent than his neighbor : but the way of the wicked seduceth them. The
slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting : but the substance of a
diligent man is precious. In the way of righteousness is life ; and in the pathway
thereof there is no death. "
20903 but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. Righteousness keepeth him
that is upright in the way : but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. There is that
maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing : there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath
great riches. The ransom of a man�s life are his riches : but the poor heareth not
rebuke. The light of the righteous rejoiceth : but the lamp of the wicked shall be
put out. Only by pride cometh contention : but with the well advised is wisdom.
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished : but he that gathereth by labor shall
increase. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick : but when the desire cometh, it is a
tree of life. Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed : but he that feareth the
commandment shall be rewarded. The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart
from the snares of death. Good understanding giveth favor : but the way of
transgressors is hard. Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge : but a fool layeth
open his folly. A wicked messenger falleth into mischief : but a faithful
ambassador is health. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction :
but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored. The desire accomplished is sweet to
the soul : but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. He that walketh with
wise men shall be wise : but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Evil pursueth
sinners : but to the righteous good shall be repaid. A good man leaveth an
inheritance to his children�s children : and the wealth of the sinner is laid up
for the just.
5872 "But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to
ourselves. And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the
Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount
Hermon ; (which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion ; and the Amorites call it
Shenir ;) all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah
and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. For only Og king of Bashan
remained of the remnant of giants ; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron ;
is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon ? nine cubits was the length thereof,
and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. "
36336 "but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every
man severally as he will. � For as the body is one, and hath many members and all
the members of that one body, being many, are one body : so also is Christ. For by
one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free ; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. � For
the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the
hand, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the body ? And if the ear shall
say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the
body ? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing ? If the whole were
hearing, where were the smelling ? But now hath God set the members every one of
them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where
were the body ? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot
say unto the hand, I have no need of thee : nor again the head to the feet, I have
no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more
feeble, are necessary : and those members of the body, which we think to be less
honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor ; and our uncomely parts have
more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need : but God hath tempered
the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked :
that there should be no schism in the body ; but that the members should have the
same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer
with it ; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it. � Now ye are
the body of Christ, and members in particular. "
9387 "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. So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the Lord
even require it at the hand of David�s enemies. And Jonathan caused David to swear
again, because he loved him : for he loved him as he loved his own soul. � Then
Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the new moon : and thou shalt be missed,
because thy seat will be empty. And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou
shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the
business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. And I will shoot three
arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark. And, behold, I will send a
lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the
arrows are on this side of thee, take them ; then come thou : for there is peace to
thee, and no hurt ; as the Lord liveth. But if I say thus unto the young man,
Behold, the arrows are beyond thee ; go thy way : for the Lord hath sent thee away.
And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the Lord be
between thee and me for ever. � So David hid himself in the field : and when the
new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. And the king sat upon his
seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall : and Jonathan arose, and
Abner sat by Saul�s side, and David�s place was empty. � Nevertheless Saul spake
not any thing that day : for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not
clean ; surely he is not clean. And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the
second day of the month, 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 ? And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to
Bethlehem : "
30305 "But be not ye called Rabbi : for one is your Master, even Christ ; and all
ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth : for one is your
Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters : for one is your Master,
even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And
whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased ; and he that shall humble himself
shall be exalted. � But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye
shut up the kingdom of heaven against men : for ye neither go in yourselves,
neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye devour widows� houses, and for a pretense make long
prayer : therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte ; and
when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. � 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 ! Ye
fools and blind : for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth
the gold ? And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing ; but whosoever
sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. Ye fools and blind : for
whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift ? Whoso
therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. And
whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that
sitteth thereon. � Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye pay
tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier "
32834 "But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you,
delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings
and rulers for my name�s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it
therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer : for I will
give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to
gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
kinsfolk, and friends ; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye
shall be hated of all men for my name�s sake. But there shall not a hair of your
head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. � And when ye shall see
Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains ; and let them which are in
the midst of it depart out ; and let not them that are in the countries enter
thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written
may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
suck, in those days ! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon
this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations : and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles,
until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. "
33573 "but by what means he now seeth, we know not ; or who hath opened his eyes,
we know not : he is of age ; ask him : he shall speak for himself. These words
spake his parents, because they feared the Jews : for the Jews had agreed already,
that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the
synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age ; ask him. � Then again called
they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise : we know that
this man is a sinner. He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know
not : one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Then said they to him
again, What did he to thee ? how opened he thine eyes ? He answered them, I have
told you already, and ye did not hear : wherefore would ye hear it again ? will ye
also be his disciples ? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple ;
but we are Moses� disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses : as for this
fellow, we know not from whence he is. The man answered and said unto them, Why
herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath
opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners : but if any man be a
worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. Since the world began was it
not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were
not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast
altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us ? And they cast him out. "
11259 "but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the
which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water ; thy carcass
shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 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. And when he was gone, a lion met him by the
way, and slew him : and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it,
the lion also stood by the carcass. And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass
cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass : and they came and told it
in the city where the old prophet dwelt. � 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 word 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. And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they
saddled him. And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the
lion standing by the carcass : the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the
ass. And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the
ass, and brought it back : and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to
bury him. And he laid his carcass in his own grave ; and they mourned over him,
saying, Alas, my brother ! 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 : 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. � After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of
the lowest of the people priests of the high places : "
13641 "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 the
heavens. Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because
there fell wrath for it against Israel ; neither was the number put in the account
of the Chronicles of king David. � And over the king�s treasures was Azmaveth the
son of Adiel : and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the
villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah : and over them that
did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub :
and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite : over the increase of the
vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite : and over the olive trees
and the sycamore trees that were in the low plains was Baal-hanan the Gederite :
and over the cellars of oil was Joash : 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 : over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite : and over the asses
was Jehdeiah the Meronothite : and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All
these were the rulers of the substance which was king David�s. � Also Jonathan
David�s uncle was a counselor, a wise man, and a scribe : and Jehiel the son of
Hachmoni was with the king�s sons : and Ahithophel was the king�s counselor : and
Hushai the Archite was the king�s companion : and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the
son of Benaiah, and Abiathar : and the general of the king�s army was Joab. "
34736 "But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood
them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is
called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, and said, O full of
all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all
righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord ? 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. Then the deputy, when he saw what
was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. "
17684 "but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to mine acquaintance : they
that did see me without fled from me. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind : I
am like a broken vessel. For I have heard the slander of many : fear was on every
side : while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my
life. But I trusted in thee, O Lord : I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy
hand : deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant : save me for thy mercies� sake. Let me not
be ashamed, O Lord ; for I have called upon thee : let the wicked be ashamed, and
let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips be put to silence ; which speak
grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. Oh how great is
thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee ; which thou hast
wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men ! Thou shalt hide them
in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man : thou shalt keep them secretly
in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord : for he hath showed
me his marvelous kindness in a strong city. For I said in my haste, I am cut off
from before thine eyes : "
11286 "but hast done evil above all that were before thee : for thou hast gone and
made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me
behind thy back : therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam,
and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is
shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of
Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. 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. Arise thou therefore, get thee
to thine own house : and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him : for he only of Jeroboam shall
come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the Lord
God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. 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. 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 groves, provoking
the Lord to anger. And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who
did sin, and who made Israel to sin. � And Jeroboam�s wife arose, and departed, and
came to Tirzah : and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died ;
and they buried him ; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the
Lord, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet. 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. "
33250 "But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore
said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat ? Jesus
saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his
work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest ? behold, I
say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields ; for they are white
already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto
life eternal : that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap
that whereupon ye bestowed no labor : other men labored, and ye are entered into
their labors. � And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the
saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. So when the
Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them :
and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word ; and
said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying : for we have heard
him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. "
10593 "But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the
Philistines : and the Lord wrought a great victory. � 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 pitched in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in a
hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. And David longed,
and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem,
which is by the gate ! And the three mighty men brake through the host of the
Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and
took it, and brought it to David : nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but
poured it out unto the Lord. And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should
do this : is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives ?
therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. � And
Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he
lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among
three. Was he not most honorable of three ? therefore he was their captain :
howbeit he attained not unto the first three. � And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada,
the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike
men of Moab : he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of
snow. 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. These things did Benaiah the son
of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men. He was more honorable than
the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his
guard. "
33200 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.
20962 but he that honoreth him hath mercy on the poor. The wicked is driven away in
his wickedness : but the righteous hath hope in his death. Wisdom resteth in the
heart of him that hath understanding : but that which is in the midst of fools is
made known. Righteousness exalteth a nation : but sin is a reproach to any people.
The king�s favor is toward a wise servant : but his wrath is against him that
causeth shame.
36185 "but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he
may please his wife. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The
unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in
body and in spirit : but she that is married careth for the things of the world,
how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit ; not that I
may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend
upon the Lord without distraction. � But if any man think that he behaveth himself
uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require,
let him do what he will, he sinneth not : let them marry. Nevertheless he that
standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own
will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. So
then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well ; but he that giveth her not in
marriage doeth better. � The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth
; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will ;
only in the Lord. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment : and I
think also that I have the Spirit of God. "
16214 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
21099 "but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him. The lot causeth contentions to
cease, and parteth between the mighty. A brother offended is harder to be won than
a strong city : and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. A man�s belly
shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth ; and with the increase of his lips
shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue : and they that
love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and
obtaineth favor of the Lord. The poor useth entreaties ; but the rich answereth
roughly. A man that hath friends must show himself friendly : and there is a friend
that sticketh closer than a brother. "
8317 But his wife said unto him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not
have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he
have showed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things
as these. And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson : and the child
grew, and the Lord blessed him. And the Spirit of the Lord began to move him at
times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
36535 "But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in
heaviness. For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the
same which is made sorry by me ? And I wrote this same unto you, 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. For out of much affliction and anguish
of heart I wrote unto you with many tears ; not that ye should be grieved, but that
ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. "
25310 "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
neighbors, and he is not. Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive
; and let thy widows trust in me. For thus saith the Lord ; Behold, they whose
judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken ; and art thou he that
shall altogether go unpunished ? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt
surely drink of it. For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall
become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse ; and all the cities thereof
shall be perpetual wastes. � I have heard a rumor from the Lord, and an ambassador
is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and
rise up to the battle. For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and
despised among men. Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine
heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of
the hill : though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring
thee down from thence, saith the Lord. � Also Edom shall be a desolation : every
one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues
thereof. As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof,
saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the
habitation of the strong : but I will suddenly make him run away from her : and who
is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her ? for who is like me ? and who will
appoint me the time ? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me ?
Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Edom ; and his
purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman : Surely the least
of the flock shall draw them out ; surely he shall make their habitations desolate
with them. "
33315 "But I receive not testimony from man : but these things I say, that ye might
be saved. He was a burning and a shining light : and ye were willing for a season
to rejoice in his light. But I have greater witness than that of John : for the
works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear
witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father himself, which hath
sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor
seen his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you : for whom he hath sent,
him ye believe not. Search the Scriptures ; for in them ye think ye have eternal
life : and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye
might have life. I receive not honor from men. But I know you, that ye have not the
love of God in you. 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. How can ye believe, which
receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only ? Do
not think that I will accuse you to the Father : there is one that accuseth you,
even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed
me : for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe
my words ? "
31799 "But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah,
when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was
throughout all the land ; but unto none of them was Elijah sent, save unto
Zarephath, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And many lepers were in
Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet ; and none of them was cleansed, saving
Naaman the Syrian. And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,
were filled with wrath, and rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him
unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him
down headlong. But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way, and came
down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. And they
were astonished at his doctrine : for his word was with power. "
36818 "But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. Now I pray to God
that ye do no evil ; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that
which is honest, though we be as reprobates. For we can do nothing against the
truth, but for the truth. For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong :
and this also we wish, even your perfection. Therefore I write these things being
absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the
Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. "

Jerusalem.
36283 "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. Every man praying or
prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. But every woman that
prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head : for that is
even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also
be shorn : but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be
covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image
and glory of God : but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the
woman ; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman ; but
the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power [a covering,
in sign that she is under the power of her husband] on her head because of the
angels. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman
without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man
also by the woman ; but all things of God. Judge in yourselves : is it comely that
a woman pray unto God uncovered ? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a
man have long hair, it is a shame unto him ? But if a woman have long hair, it is a
glory to her : for her hair is given her for a covering. But if any man seem to be
contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. "
21836 "but if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all ; yet let him remember
the days of darkness ; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. "
34388 "but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it ; lest haply ye be found even to
fight against God. � And to him they agreed : and when they had called the
apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of
Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in
the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. "
3637 "But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair
grown up therein ; the scall is healed, he is clean : and the priest shall
pronounce him clean. � If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh
bright spots, even white bright spots ; then the priest shall look : and, behold,
if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white, it is a freckled
spot that groweth in the skin : he is clean. � And the man whose hair is fallen off
his head, he is bald ; yet is he clean. And he that hath his hair fallen off from
the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald ; yet is he clean. And if
there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore ; it is a leprosy
sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead. Then the priest shall look upon
it : and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or
in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh ; he is a
leprous man, he is unclean : the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean ; his
plague is in his head. � And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be
rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall
cry, Unclean, unclean. All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be
defiled ; he is unclean : he shall dwell alone ; without the camp shall his
habitation be. � The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a
woolen garment, or a linen garment ; whether it be in the warp, or woof, of linen,
or of woolen ; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin ; and if the plague
be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in
the woof, or in any thing of skin ; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be showed
unto the priest : and the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that
hath the plague seven days : "

from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name
there. Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy
great power, and by thy strong hand. 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

Lord withal. 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. � Ye shall not eat
any thing with the blood : neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. Ye
shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of
thy beard. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any
marks upon you : I am the Lord. � Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to
be a whore ; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of
wickedness. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary : I am the Lord.
� Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be
defiled by them : I am the Lord your God. � Thou shalt rise up before the hoary
head, and honor the face of the old man, and fear thy God : I am the Lord. � And if
a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger
that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love
him as thyself ; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt : I am the Lord your
God. � Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in
measure. 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. Therefore shall
ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them : I am the Lord. "

hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the
gospel : whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the
Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things : nevertheless I am not
ashamed ; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep
that which I have committed unto him against that day. Hold fast the form of sound
words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth

me ; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. The Lord give mercy unto the house of
Onesiphorus ; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain : but, when
he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. The Lord grant unto
him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day : and in how many things he
ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. "
36925 "but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the
world : but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of
a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might
receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the
Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no
more a servant, but a son ; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. "
8346 "But it came to pass within a while after, 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. 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. And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than
the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure. And Samson went and caught three
hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in
the midst between two tails. 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 also
the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives. Then the Philistines said, Who
hath done this ? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because
he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up,
and burnt her and her father with fire. "
15227 "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. 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 the rubbish which are burned ? Now
Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox
go up, he shall even break down their stone wall. Hear, O our God ; for we are
despised : and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in
the land of captivity : 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. � So built we the wall ; and all the wall was joined together unto the
half thereof : for the people had a mind to work. � But it came to pass, that when
Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites,
heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be
stopped, then they were very wroth, "
28412 "But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 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 fled before unto Tarshish : for I knew that thou
art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and
repentest thee of the evil. Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life
from me ; for it is better for me to die than to live. Then said the Lord, Doest
thou well to be angry ? So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of
the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might
see what would become of the city. "
36942 "But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only

21773 "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. � There is a vanity
which is done upon the earth ; that there be just 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.
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to
eat, and to drink, and to be merry : for that shall abide with him of his labor the
days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. � 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 :) then I beheld all
the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun :
because though a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it ; yea further ;
though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. "
16400 "But Job answered and said, Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your
consolations. Suffer me that I may speak ; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
As for me, is my complaint to man ? And if it were so, why should not my spirit be
troubled ? Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. Even when
I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. Wherefore do the
wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power ? Their seed is established in
their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. Their houses are safe
from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. Their bull gendereth, and faileth
not ; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. They send forth their little
ones like a flock, and their children dance. They take the timbrel and harp, and
rejoice at the sound of the organ. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment
go down to the grave. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us ; for we desire
not the knowledge of thy ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him ? And
what profit should we have, if we pray unto him ? Lo, their good is not in their
hand : the counsel of the wicked is far from me. "
16530 "But Job answered and said, How hast thou helped him that is without power ?
How savest thou the arm that hath no strength ? How hast thou counseled him that
hath no wisdom ? And how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is ? To
whom hast thou uttered words ? And whose spirit came from thee ? Dead things are
formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. Hell is naked before
him, and destruction hath no covering. He stretcheth out the north over the empty
place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in his thick
clouds ; and the cloud is not rent under them. "
15942 "But Job answered and said, Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my
calamity laid in the balances together ! For now it would be heavier than the sand
of the sea : therefore my words are swallowed up. For the arrows of the Almighty
are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit : the terrors of God do set
themselves in array against me. Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass ? Or
loweth the ox over his fodder ? Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt ?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg ? The things that my soul refused to
touch are as my sorrowful meat. Oh that I might have my request ; and that God
would grant me the thing that I long for ! Even that it would please God to destroy
me ; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off ! Then should I yet have
comfort ; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow : let him not spare ; for I have not
concealed the words of the Holy One. What is my strength, that I should hope ? And
what is mine end, that I should prolong my life ? Is my strength the strength of
stones ? Or is my flesh of brass ? Is not my help in me ? And is wisdom driven
quite from me ? "
11141 "But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of
Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites ; of
the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall
not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you : for surely they will turn
away your heart after their gods : Solomon clave unto these in love. And he had
seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines : and his wives
turned away his heart. 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. For Solomon went after
Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the
Ammonites. And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after
the Lord, as did David his father. Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh,
the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the
abomination of the children of Ammon. And likewise did he for all his strange
wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. � And the Lord was angry
with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had
appeared unto him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he
should not go after other gods : but he kept not that which the Lord commanded.
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. "
4850 "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. (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.)
Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. � And
the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 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. Say unto them, As truly as I
live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you : your
carcasses 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, doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I
sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the
son of Nun. But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring
in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. But as for you, your
carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness. And your children shall wander in
the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted
in the wilderness. After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even
forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years,
and ye shall know my breach of promise. I the Lord have said, I will surely do it
unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me : in this
wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. "
10663 "but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his
brother, he called not. � Wherefore 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 ? 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. 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 ?
Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee,
and confirm thy words. � 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.
And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What
wouldest thou ? 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
shall sit upon my throne. And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth ; and now, my lord the
king, thou knowest it not : and he hath slain oxen and fat cattle 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. And
thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest
tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 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. � And, lo, while she yet talked with the
king, Nathan the prophet also came in. "

goest thou ? But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your
heart. 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 depart, I
will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and
of righteousness, and of judgment : of sin, because they believe not on me ; of
righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more ; of judgment,
because the prince of this world is judged. � I have yet many things to say unto
you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth : for he shall not speak of himself ; but whatsoever
he shall hear, that shall he speak : and he will show you things to come. "

would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock. Yea, whereto might the
strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished ? For want and
famine they were solitary ; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and
waste : who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat. They
were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief,) to
dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks. Among
the bushes they brayed ; under the nettles they were gathered together. They were
children of fools, yea, children of base men : they were viler than the earth. And
now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. They abhor me, they flee far from me,
and spare not to spit in my face. Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me,

fire, thou shalt not be burned ; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. "

blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down
the middle wall of partition between us ; having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances ; for to make in himself of
twain one new man, so making peace ; and that he might reconcile both unto God in
one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby : and came and preached
peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we
both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household
of God ; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ himself being the chief corner stone ; in whom all the building fitly framed
together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord : in whom ye also are builded
together for a habitation of God through the Spirit. "
13940 "But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work ;
but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots
and horsemen. And these were the chief of king Solomon�s officers, even two hundred
and fifty, that bare rule over the people. � 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. � Then Solomon offered
burnt offerings unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before
the porch, even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the
commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn
feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the
feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. And he appointed, according to the
order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the
Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of
every day required : the porters also by their courses at every gate : for so had
David the man of God commanded. And they departed not from the commandment of the
king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the
treasures. � 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. � Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea
side in the land of Edom. And Huram sent him, by the hands of his servants, ships,
and servants that had knowledge of the sea ; and they went with the servants of
Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and
brought them to king Solomon. "
6486 "But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for
an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth : but thou shalt
utterly destroy them ; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and
the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites ; as the Lord thy God hath commanded
thee : 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. � 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 forcing an axe against them : for thou mayest eat
of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man�s life)
to employ them in the siege : 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 be subdued. "
37527 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write
unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a
thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety ; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child ; and they shall
not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake
you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day : we
are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others ;
but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night ; and they
that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love ; and for a helmet, the hope of
salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our
Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live
together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another,
even as also ye do. "
34562 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt
at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
31850 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him : and great multitudes
came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. And he
withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
10920 "But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all
his house. � He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon ; the length thereof
was a 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.
And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty-five pillars,
fifteen in a row. And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light
in three ranks. And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows : and
light was against light in three ranks. � And he made a porch of pillars ; the
length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits : and the
porch was before them : and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
� Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of
judgment : and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. �
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the
like work. Solomon made also a house for Pharaoh�s daughter, whom he had taken to
wife, like unto this porch. � All these were of costly stones, according to the
measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the
foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court. And the
foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and
stones of eight cubits. And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed
stones, and cedars. "
37900 "But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine : that the aged men be
sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. The aged women
likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not
given to much wine, teachers of good things ; that they may teach the young women
to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet,
chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God
be not blasphemed. Young men likewise exhort to be soberminded. In all things
showing thyself a pattern of good works : in doctrine showing uncorruptness,
gravity, sincerity, "
7718 "but that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after
us, that we might do the service of the Lord before him with our burnt offerings,
and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings ; that your children may not
say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the Lord. Therefore said
we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time
to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the Lord, which
our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices ; but it is a witness
between us and you. God forbid that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn this
day from following the Lord, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat
offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the Lord our God that is before
his tabernacle. � And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation
and 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. 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
perceive that the Lord is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass
against the Lord : now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of
the Lord. � 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. And the thing pleased the children of Israel ; and the children of Israel
blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the
land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt. And the children of Reuben and
the children of Gad called the altar Ed [a witness] : for it shall be a witness
between us that the Lord is God. "
7177 "But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing : for
Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah,
took of the accursed thing : and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the
children of Israel. � And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside
Bethaven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view
the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 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 ; and make not all the people to labor thither ; for they
are but few. So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men ; and
they fled before the men of Ai. And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and
six men : for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote
them in the going down : wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as
water. � And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before
the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust
upon their heads. 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
destroy us ? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan !
O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies ! "
25768 "But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee ; for they will not
hearken unto me : for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. Behold,
I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against
their foreheads. 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.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee
receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. 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. �
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing,
saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place. I heard also the noise of
the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the
wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing. So the spirit lifted me
up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit ; but the
hand of the Lord was strong upon me. Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-
abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained
there astonished among them seven days. "
6189 "but the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys,
and drinketh water of the rain of heaven : 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. � 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, that I will give
you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain,
that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will send
grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. Take heed to
yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other
gods, and worship them ; and then the Lord�s wrath be kindled against you, and he
shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit ;
and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you. �
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind
them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine
house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest
up. And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thine house, and upon thy gates
: that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land
which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the
earth. For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you,
to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto
him ; "
17770 but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones : not
one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked : and they that hate the
righteous shall be desolate. The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants : and none
of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
2023 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh�s heart, so that he would not let the children
of Israel go.
5930 "But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace,
even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
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 : but I must die in this land, I must not go
over Jordan : but ye shall go over, and possess that good land. 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, or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy
God hath forbidden thee. For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous
God. � When thou shalt beget children, and children�s children, and ye shall have
remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image,
or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God,
to provoke him to anger ; 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. And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left
few in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you. And there ye
shall serve gods, the work of men�s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor
hear, nor eat, nor smell. But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou
shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When
thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the
latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice
; (for the Lord thy God is a merciful God ;) he will not forsake thee, neither
destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which he sware unto them. "
37606 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. And
we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things
which we command you. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and
into the patient waiting for Christ.
4665 "But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep
the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people : because
he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appointed season, that man shall
bear his sin. And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover
unto the Lord ; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the
manner thereof, so shall he do : ye shall have one ordinance, both for the
stranger, and for him that was born in the land. "
13406 "But the Syrians fled before Israel ; and David slew of the Syrians seven
thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed
Shophach the captain of the host. And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they
were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his
servants : neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more. "
37730 "But the younger widows refuse : for when they have begun to wax wanton
against Christ, they will marry ; having damnation, because they have cast off
their first faith. And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to
house ; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which
they ought not. I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide
the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. For some are
already turned aside after Satan. If any man or woman that believeth have widows,
let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged ; that it may relieve them
that are widows indeed. � Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double
honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine. For the Scripture saith,
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is
worthy of his reward. Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two
or three witnesses. Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. I
charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou
observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by
partiality. Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men�s sins :
keep thyself pure. � Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach�s
sake and thine often infirmities. � Some men�s sins are open beforehand, going
before to judgment ; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works
of some are manifest beforehand ; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. "
20106 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for
the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the
Lord more than they that watch for the morning : I say, more than they that watch
for the morning. Let Israel hope in the Lord : for with the Lord there is mercy,
and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his
iniquities.
22892 "But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and
streams ; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass
thereby. For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our
King ; he will save us. Thy tacklings are loosed ; they could not well strengthen
their mast ; they could not spread the sail : then is the prey of a great spoil
divided ; the lame take the prey. And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick : the
people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. "
8187 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 it to them, and gat them up to the
top of the tower. And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and
went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire. And a certain woman cast
a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech�s head, and all to brake his skull. Then he
called hastily unto the young man his armor-bearer, and said unto him, Draw thy
sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man
thrust him through, and he died. And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was
dead, they departed every man unto his place. Thus God rendered the wickedness of
Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren : and all
the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads : and upon them came
the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
38683 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be
false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even
denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And
many shall follow their pernicious ways ; by reason of whom the way of truth shall
be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
merchandise of you : whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their
damnation slumbereth not. � For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast
them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto
judgment ; and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a
preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly ;
and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an
overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly ; and
delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked : (for that
righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul
from day to day with their unlawful deeds :) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the
godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be
punished : but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness,
and despise government. � Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid
to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might,
bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. "
38696 "But these, as natural brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed, speak
evil of the things that they understand not ; and shall utterly perish in their own
corruption ; and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it
pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves
with their own deceivings while they feast with you ; having eyes full of adultery,
and that cannot cease from sin ; beguiling unstable souls : a heart they have
exercised with covetous practices ; cursed children : which have forsaken the right
way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved
the wages of unrighteousness ; but was rebuked for his iniquity : the dumb ass
speaking with man�s voice forbade the madness of the prophet. � These are wells
without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest ; to whom the mist of
darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity,
they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that
were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty,
they themselves are the servants of corruption : for of whom a man is overcome, of
the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of
the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are
again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the
beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of
righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment
delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb,
The dog is turned to his own vomit again ; and the sow that was washed to her
wallowing in the mire. "
33054 "But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us ; for it is toward evening,
and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. And it came to pass,
as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to
them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him ; and he vanished out of their
sight. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he
talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the Scriptures ? And they rose
up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered
together, and them that were with them, saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath
appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was
known of them in breaking of bread. "
34043 But they 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. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they
took Jesus, and led him away.
12134 "but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the
Lord. Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the
money to be bestowed on workmen : for they dealt faithfully. The trespass money and
sin money was not brought into the house of the Lord : it was the priests�. � Then
Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it : and Hazael set
his face to go up to Jerusalem. 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 in the king�s house, and sent it to Hazael
king of Syria : and he went away from Jerusalem. � And the rest of the acts of
Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of
the kings of Judah ? And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash
in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla. For Jozachar the son of Shimeath,
and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died ; and they
buried him with his fathers in the city of David : and Amaziah his son reigned in
his stead. "
28505 "But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither understand they his
counsel : for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. 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 people : and I will consecrate their
gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. "
20504 but they shall not find me : for that they hated knowledge, and did not
choose the fear of the Lord : they would none of my counsel : they despised all my
reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with
their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the
prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell
safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
32802 "but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the
resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage : neither can
they die any more : for they are equal unto the angels ; and are the children of
God, being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even
Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living
: for all live unto him. Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou
hast well said. And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. "
10548 "but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. For
thou art my lamp, O Lord : and the Lord will lighten my darkness. For by thee I
have run through a troop : by my God have I leaped over a wall. As for God, his way
is perfect ; the word of the Lord is tried : he is a buckler to all them that trust
in him. For who is God, save the Lord ? and who is a rock, save our God ? God is my
strength and power ; and he maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds�
feet ; and setteth me upon my high places. He teacheth my hands to war ; so that a
bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy
salvation : and thy gentleness hath made me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps
under me ; so that my feet did not slip. I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed
them ; and turned not again until I had consumed them. And I have consumed them,
and wounded them, that they could not arise : yea, they are fallen under my feet.
For thou hast girded me with strength to battle : them that rose up against me hast
thou subdued under me. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I
might destroy them that hate me. They looked, but there was none to save ; even
unto the Lord, but he answered them not. Then did I beat them as small as the dust
of the earth : I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them
abroad. "
29928 "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart ;
and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies : these are the things
which defile a man : but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. "
33763 "But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not
on him : that the saying 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 ? Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again, He
hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart ; that they should not see with
their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal
them. These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him ; but because of the
Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue :
for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. "
6045 "But thus shall ye deal with them ; ye shall destroy their altars, and break
down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with
fire. "
27747 "But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him :
therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away
many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the
glorious holy mountain ; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. "
24458 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not
return. Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol ? is he a vessel wherein is no
pleasure ? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land
which they know not ? O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. 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.
35509 "But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them
which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do
such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God ? Or
despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering ; not
knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance ? but, after thy
hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of
wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God ; who will render to every
man according to his deeds : to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek
for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life : but unto them that are
contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and
wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil ; of the Jew
first, and also of the Gentile ; but glory, honor, and peace, to every man that
worketh good ; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile : for there is no respect
of persons with God. � For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish
without law ; and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law ;
(for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall
be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the
things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves :
which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also
bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one
another ;) in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel. "
35316 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he
himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. Of whom I have no
certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you,
and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might
have somewhat to write. For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and
not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
2955 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. 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

30119 "But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful : for he
had great possessions. � Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto
you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich
man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were
exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved ? But Jesus beheld them, and said
unto them, With men this is impossible ; but with God all things are possible. Then
answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee ;
what shall we have therefore ? 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
in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name�s sake,
shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are
first shall be last ; and the last shall be first. "
34499 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of
God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then
Simon himself believed also : and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip,
and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. � Now when the
apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God,
they sent unto them Peter and John : who, when they were come down, prayed for
them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost : (for as yet he was fallen upon none
of them : only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they
their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that
through laying on of the apostles� hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them
money, saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may
receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee,
because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou
hast neither part nor lot in this matter : for thy heart is not right in the sight
of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the
thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the
gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. Then answered Simon, and said,
Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come
upon me. � And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord,
returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
23823 "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. � Wherefore will ye plead with me ? ye all have
transgressed against me, saith the Lord. In vain have I smitten your children ;
they received no correction : your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a
destroying lion. O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a
wilderness unto Israel ? a land of darkness ? wherefore say my people, We are lords
; we will come no more unto thee ? Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her
attire ? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. � Why trimmest thou
thy way to seek love ? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents : I have
not found it by secret search, but upon all these. Yet thou sayest, Because I am
innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee,
because thou sayest, I have not sinned. Why gaddest thou about so much to change
thy way ? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head : for the Lord
hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them. "
33234 "but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst
; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up
into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I
thirst not, neither come hither to draw. � Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy
husband, and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus
said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband : for thou hast had five
husbands ; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband : in that saidst thou
truly. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our
fathers worshipped in this mountain ; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place
where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour
cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the
Father. Ye worship ye know not what : we know what we worship ; for salvation is of
the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship
the Father in spirit and in truth : for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God
is a Spirit : and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ : when
he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto
thee am he. � And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with
the woman : yet no man said, What seekest thou ? or, Why talkest thou with her ?
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the
men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did : is not this the
Christ ? Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. � In the mean while his
disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. "
16159 "But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. Oh that ye
would altogether hold your peace ! And it should be your wisdom. Hear now my
reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. Will ye speak wickedly for
God ? and talk deceitfully for him ? Will ye accept his person ? Will ye contend
for God ? Is it good that he should search you out ? Or as one man mocketh another,
do ye so mock him ? He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
Shall not his excellency make you afraid ? and his dread fall upon you ? Your
remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. Hold your peace,
let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will. Wherefore do I take
my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand ? Though he slay me, yet will I
trust in him : but I will maintain mine own ways before him. He also shall be my
salvation : for a hypocrite shall not come before him. Hear diligently my speech,
and my declaration with your ears. Behold now, I have ordered my cause ; I know
that I shall be justified. Who is he that will plead with me ? for now, if I hold
my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. Only do not two things unto me ; then I will
not hide myself from thee. Withdraw thine hand far from me : "
34014 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 ? Then cried they
all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

38274 "By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children
of Israel ; and gave commandment concerning his bones. � By faith Moses, when he
was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper
child ; and they were not afraid of the king�s commandment. By faith Moses, when
he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh�s daughter ;
choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a season ; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches
than the treasures in Egypt : for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king : for he endured, as
seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling
of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. � By faith they
passed through the Red sea as by dry land : which the Egyptians assaying to do were
drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about
seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not,
when she had received the spies with peace. � And what shall I more say ? for the
time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of
Jephthah ; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets : who through faith
subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of
lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of
weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of
the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again : and others were
tortured, not accepting deliverance ; that they might obtain a better
resurrection : and others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover
of bonds and imprisonment : "
29794 "By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand ; and seeing ye shall
see, and shall not perceive : for this people�s heart is waxed gross, and their
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed ; lest at any time they
should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with
their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your
eyes, for they see : and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That
many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and
have not seen them ; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard
them. "
21909 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth : I sought him, but I
found him not. 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.
The watchmen that go about the city found me : to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my
soul loveth ? It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my
soul loveth : I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my
mother�s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. I charge you, O ye
daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir
not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches. But she was plucked up
in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit :
her strong rods were broken and withered ; the fire consumed them. And now she is
planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground. And fire is gone out of a
rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod

20216 "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we
remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For
there they that carried us away captive required of us a song ; and they that
wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall
we sing the Lord�s song in a strange land ? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my
right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to
the roof of my mouth ; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O
Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem ; who said, Rase it, rase it,
even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed ;
happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. "
38853 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep
his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments : and
his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the
world : and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is
he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God ?
12433 "By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the
multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides
of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir
trees thereof : and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the
forest of his Carmel. I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of
my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places. � Hast thou not heard
long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it ? now have
I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into
ruinous heaps. 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. But I know thy
abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. Because thy
rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my
hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way
by which thou camest. � And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year
such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of
the same ; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the
fruits thereof. And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet
again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem shall go
forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion : the zeal of the Lord of
hosts shall do this. � Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of
Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come
before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the
same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord. For I will
defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David�s sake. "

soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot
shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid : yea, thou shalt
lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of
the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence,
and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Withhold not good from them to whom it is
due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbor, Go,
and come again, and tomorrow I will give ; when thou hast it by thee. Devise not
evil against thy neighbor, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Strive not with a
man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. Envy thou not the oppressor, and
choose none of his ways. For the froward is abomination to the Lord : but his
secret is with the righteous. The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked :
but he blesseth the habitation of the just. Surely he scorneth the scorners : but
he giveth grace unto the lowly. The wise shall inherit glory : but shame shall be

the foundations thereof fastened ? Or who laid the corner stone thereof ; when the
morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy ? Or who shut
up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb ?

Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place. Now the Lord hath brought
it, and done according as he hath said : because ye have sinned against the Lord,
and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you. And now,
behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it
seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come ; and I will look well unto

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

of Ahikam to Mizpah ; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the
land. � 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

Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the
sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and

the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things ; behold, therefore
I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord God : and thou shalt
not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations. � Behold, every one that
useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is
her daughter. 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 a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. And thine
elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand : and
thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations : but,
as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy
ways. 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. Behold, this was the iniquity
of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her
and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me : therefore I took them
away as I saw good. Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins ; but thou hast
multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all
thine abominations which thou hast done. Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters,
bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than
they : they are more righteous than thou : yea, be thou confounded also, and bear
thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters. "

abomination is wrought among you ; 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. 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, for the Lord thy God : and it shall be
a heap for ever ; it shall not be built again. And there shall cleave nought of the
cursed thing to thine hand : that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his
anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he
hath sworn unto thy fathers ; 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

hath forsaken the earth. He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt
see greater abominations that they do. � Then he brought me to the door of the gate
of the Lord�s house which was toward the north ; and, behold, there sat women
weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man ? turn
thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. � 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. 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 returned to provoke me to anger : and, lo, they put the branch
to their nose. 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

there respect of persons with him. "

ground : there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans : for thou shalt no more
be called tender and delicate. Take the millstones, and grind meal : uncover thy
locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness
shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen : I will take vengeance, and I
will not meet thee as a man. As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name,
the Holy One of Israel. � Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter
of the Chaldeans : for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. I was
wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine
hand : thou didst show them no mercy ; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid
thy yoke. 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 of it. � Therefore
hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that
sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else besides me ; I shall not sit as a widow,
neither shall I know the loss of children : but these two things shall come to thee
in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood : they shall come upon
thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great
abundance of thine enchantments. "
22895 "Come near, ye nations, to hear ; and hearken, ye people : let the earth
hear, and all that is therein ; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their
armies : he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their
carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. And all the host of
heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll :
and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a
falling fig from the fig tree. � For my sword shall be bathed in heaven : behold,
it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. The
sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the
blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams : for the Lord hath a
sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. "
5159 "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 wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed,
and he whom thou cursest is cursed. � 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. 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. And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men
are these with thee ? And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of
Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which
covereth the face of the earth : come now, curse me them ; peradventure I shall be
able to overcome them, and drive them out. And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not
go with them ; thou shalt not curse the people : for they are blessed. 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. And the princes of
Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
� And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they. 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 : for I will promote thee unto very
great honor, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me : come therefore, I pray
thee, curse me this people. 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. "

12382 "come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in
the highway of the fuller�s field. And when they had called to the king, there came
out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna
the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. � And Rab-shakeh said unto
them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria,
What confidence is this wherein thou trustest ? Thou sayest, (but they are but vain
words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that
thou rebellest against me ? Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this
bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which 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. 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 Jerusalem, Ye
shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem ? Now therefore, I pray thee, give
pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand
horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. How then wilt thou
turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master�s servants, and put thy
trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen ? Am I now come up without the Lord
against this place to destroy it ? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land,
and destroy it. � Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto
Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language ; for we
understand it : and talk not with us in the Jews� language in the ears of the
people that are on the wall. But Rab-shakeh 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, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss
with you ? "
15184 "come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a
reproach. Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me ; as also
the king�s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and
build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. 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 ? 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. "
27862 "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. After two days will he revive us : in
the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we
know, if we follow on to know the Lord : his going forth is prepared as the morning
; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the
earth. � 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 early dew it goeth away.

1175 "Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon
him ; for he is our brother and our flesh : and his brethren were content. Then
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. � And Reuben returned unto the pit ; and, behold,
Joseph was not in the pit ; and he rent his clothes. And he returned unto his
brethren, and said, The child is not ; and I, whither shall I go ? And they took
Joseph�s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood ;
and they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father ; and
said, This have we found : know now whether it be thy son�s coat or no. And he knew
it, and said, It is my son�s coat ; an evil beast hath devoured him ; Joseph is
without doubt rent in pieces. And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon
his loins, and mourned for his son many days. And all his sons and all his
daughters rose up to comfort him ; but he refused to be comforted ; and he said,
For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for
him. And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh�s,
and captain of the guard. "
23135 "cometh out of it ; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit
to them that walk therein : 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 ; to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners
from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am the
Lord ; that is my name : and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise
to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I
declare : before they spring forth I tell you of them. "

head, and his right hand doth embrace me. I charge you, O ye daughters of
Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor
awake my love, till he please. The voice of my beloved ! Behold, he cometh leaping
upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a roe or a young
hart : behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows,
showing himself through the lattice. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up,
my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over
and gone ; 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 ; the fig tree putteth forth
her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my
love, my fair one, and come away. O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in
the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy
voice ; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. Take us the foxes,
the little foxes, that spoil the vines : for our vines have tender grapes. My
beloved is mine, and I am his : "
23046 "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to
Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is
pardoned : for she hath received of the Lord�s hand double for all her sins. � The
voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
straight in the desert a highway for our God. 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 : 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. � The
voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry ? All flesh is grass, and all the
goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field : the grass withereth, the flower
fadeth ; because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it : surely the people is
grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : but the word of our God shall stand
for ever. � O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain

29627 Coming Persecutions
15550 "commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters ; and
the offerings of the priests. But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem : for in
the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and
after certain days obtained I leave of the king : and I came to Jerusalem, and
understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in
the courts of the house of God. And it grieved me sore : therefore I cast forth all
the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. Then I commanded, and they
cleansed the chambers : and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of
God, with the meat offering and the frankincense. � And I perceived that the
portions of the Levites had not been given them : for the Levites and the singers,
that did the work, were fled every one to his field. 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. Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the
new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. 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 office was to distribute unto their brethren.
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 offices thereof. � In those days saw I in
Judah some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading
asses ; 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. "
17154 commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the
sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. There be many that
say, Who will show us any good ? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance
upon us. Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn
and their wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep : for thou,
Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
21325 Comparisons and Moral Lessons
25297 "Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord ; Hath Israel no sons ? hath
he no heir ? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his
cities ? Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will cause an
alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites ; and it shall be a desolate
heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire : then shall Israel be heir unto
them that were his heirs, saith the Lord. � Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled :
cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth ; lament, and run to and fro
by the hedges ; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his
princes together. Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O
backsliding daughter ? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto
me ? Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all
those that be about thee ; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth ; and
none shall gather up him that wandereth. And afterward I will bring again the
captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord. "
13564 Concerning the divisions of the porters : Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the
son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
10890 "Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my
statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them ;
then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father : and I
will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel. �
So Solomon built the house, and finished it. And he built the walls of the house
within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the
ceiling : and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the
house with planks of fir. And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house,
both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar : he even built them for it
within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place. And the house, that is,
the temple before it, was forty cubits long. And the cedar of the house within was
carved with knops and open flowers : all was cedar ; there was no stone seen. And
the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of
the Lord. And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty
cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof : and he overlaid it
with pure gold ; and so covered the altar which was of cedar. So Solomon overlaid
the house within with pure gold : and he made a partition by the chains of gold
before the oracle ; and he overlaid it with gold. And the whole house he overlaid
with gold, until he had finished all the house : also the whole altar that was by
the oracle he overlaid with gold. � And within the oracle he made two cherubim of
olive tree, each ten cubits high. 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. "

they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the famine

come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defensed. For the
king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to
use divination : he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in
the liver. At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains,
to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint
battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort. And it
shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn
oaths : but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken. �

an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew ; and
they shall pursue thee until thou perish. And thy heaven that is over thy head
shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. The Lord shall make
the rain of thy land powder and dust : from heaven shall it come down upon thee,

and no man shall save thee. "

36126 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the
unjust, and not before the saints ? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the
world ? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the
smallest matters ? Know ye not that we shall judge angels ? how much more things
that pertain to this life ? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this
life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your
shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you ? no, not one that shall be
able to judge between his brethren ? but brother goeth to law with brother, and
that before the unbelievers. � Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you,
because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong ? Why do ye
not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded ? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and
that your brethren. � Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God ? Be not deceived : neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves,
nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God. And such were some of you : but ye are washed, but ye are
sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit
of our God.

9315 "David played with his hand, as at other times : and there was a javelin in
Saul�s hand. And Saul cast the javelin ; for he said, I will smite David even to
the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice. � And Saul was
afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul.
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand ; and
he went out and came in before the people. And David behaved himself wisely in all
his ways ; and the Lord was with him. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved
himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. But all Israel and Judah loved David,
because he went out and came in before them. � 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. 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 ? 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. � And
Michal Saul�s daughter loved David : and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
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 in the one of the twain. 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. And Saul�s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said,
Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king�s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor
man, and lightly esteemed ? "

10130 "David therefore besought God for the child ; and David fasted, and went in,
and lay all night upon the earth. And the elders of his house arose, and went to
him, to raise him up from the earth : but he would not, neither did he eat bread
with them. 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 would not hearken
unto our voice : how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is
dead ? But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the
child was dead : therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead ? And
they said, He is dead. Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed
himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and
worshipped : then he came to his own house ; and when he required, they set bread
before him, and he did eat. 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. And he said, While the
child was yet alive, I fasted and wept : for I said, Who can tell whether God will
be gracious to me, that the child may live ? 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. � 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.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet ; and he called his name Jedidiah
[beloved of the Lord], because of the Lord. "
9433 "David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam : and when
his brethren and all his father�s house heard it, they went down thither to him.
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 a captain over
them : and there were with him about four hundred men. "

21804 "Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking
savor : so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor. A
wise man�s heart is at his right hand ; but a fool�s heart at his left. Yea also,
when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to
every one that he is a fool. If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave
not thy place ; for yielding pacifieth great offenses. � There is an evil which I
have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler : folly is set
in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. I have seen servants upon horses,
and princes walking as servants upon the earth. He that diggeth a pit shall fall
into it ; and whoso breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. Whoso removeth
stones shall be hurt therewith ; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered
thereby. If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to
more strength : but wisdom is profitable to direct. Surely the serpent will bite
without enchantment ; and a babbler is no better. � The words of a wise man�s mouth
are gracious ; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. The beginning of the
words of his mouth is foolishness : and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
A fool also is full of words : a man cannot tell what shall be ; and what shall be
after him, who can tell him ? "

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 : but it was
thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel
together, and walked unto the house of God in company. Let death seize upon them,
and let them go down quick into hell : for wickedness is in their dwellings, and
among them. As for me, I will call upon God ; and the Lord shall save me. Evening,

He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me : for there
were many with me. God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old.
Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. He hath put forth
his hands against such as be at peace with him : he hath broken his covenant. The
words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart : his words
were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee : he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. But

princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats : in these
were they thy merchants. The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants
: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious
stones, and gold. Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and
Chilmad, were thy merchants. These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in
blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords,
and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. � The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee
in thy market : and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of
the seas. Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters : the east wind hath
broken thee in the midst of the seas. Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise,
thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise,

suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. 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 ; and shall cause their voice to be heard against
thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall
wallow themselves in the ashes : and they shall make themselves utterly bald for
thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of
heart and bitter wailing. And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for
thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in
the midst of the sea ? "

wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. Now let them put away their whoredom,
and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of
them for ever. � Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they
may be ashamed of their iniquities : and let them measure the pattern. And if they
be ashamed of all that they have done, show 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. 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. � And these are the measures of
the altar after the cubits : The cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth ; even the
bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the
edge thereof round about shall be a span ; and this shall be the higher place of
the altar. And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be
two cubits, and the breadth one cubit ; and from the lesser settle even to the
greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit. So the altar shall
be four cubits ; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns. And the altar
shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof. And
the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares
thereof ; and the border about it shall be half a cubit ; and the bottom thereof
shall be a cubit about ; and his stairs shall look toward the east. � 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 "

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul : the mighty are gathered against me ; not
for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord. They run and prepare themselves
without my fault. Awake to help me, and behold. Thou therefore, O Lord God of
hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen : be not merciful to any
wicked transgressors. Selah. "

which imagine mischiefs in their heart ; "
10299 "delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son : and, behold, thou
art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man. � 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. And the king said, What have I to
do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah ? so let him curse, because the Lord hath said unto
him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so ? 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 now may this Benjamite do it ? let him alone, and
let him curse ; for the Lord hath bidden him. It may be that the Lord will look on
mine affliction, and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day.
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hillside over
against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. And the
king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves
there. � And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and
Ahithophel with him. 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. And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend ? why
wentest thou not with thy friend ? And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay ; but whom the
Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with
him will I abide. 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. � Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we
shall do. "
8275 "delivered them into my hand : wherefore then are ye come up unto me this
day, to fight against me ? Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead,
and fought with Ephraim : and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said,
Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the
Manassites. And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites :
and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over,
that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite ? If he said, Nay ;
then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth : and he said Sibboleth : for he could
not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages
of Jordan : and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
� And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was

four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof ; because he did pursue his
brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear
perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever : but I will send a fire upon Teman,
which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. � Thus saith the Lord ; For three
transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the
punishment thereof ; because they have ripped up the women with child, of Gilead,
that they might enlarge their border : but I will kindle a fire in the wall of
Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of

21154 "Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to
the Lord. Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and
whether it be right. The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even
both of them. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty : open thine eyes, and thou
shalt be satisfied with bread. It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer : but
when he is gone his way, then he boasteth. There is gold, and a multitude of rubies
: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. Take his garment that is surety
for a stranger : and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. Bread of deceit is
sweet to a man ; but afterward his mouth shall be filled with gravel. Every purpose
is established by counsel : and with good advice make war. He that goeth about as a
talebearer revealeth secrets : therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with
his lips. Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in
obscure darkness. An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning ; but the
end thereof shall not be blessed. Say not thou, I will recompense evil ; but wait
on the Lord, and he shall save thee. Divers weights are an abomination unto the
Lord ; and a false balance is not good. Man�s goings are of the Lord ; how can a
man then understand his own way ? It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which
is holy, and after vows to make inquiry. A wise king scattereth the wicked, and
bringeth the wheel over them. "

you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul ; and I of Apollos ;
and I of Cephas ; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided ? was Paul crucified for you ?
or were ye baptized in the name of Paul ? I thank God that I baptized none of you,
but Crispus and Gaius ; lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas : besides, I know not whether I
baptized any other. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel :
not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. "

chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to
build a house unto our God ; but we ourselves together will build unto the Lord God
of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. � Then the people of
the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
and hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of
Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. � And in the
reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an
accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. � And in the days of
Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions,
unto Artaxerxes king of Persia ; and the writing of the letter was written in the
Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue. Rehum the chancellor and
Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this
sort : then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of
their companions ; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the
Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and
the Elamites, and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper brought
over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the
river, and at such a time. This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him,
even unto Artaxerxes the king ; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at
such a time. Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us
are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up

are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear ; which will not hearken to the voice

left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of
Israel commanded. And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all
the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon. And all these kings and their land did
Joshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. And
Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. "

good ? Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth ?
ye have done evil in so doing. � And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these
same words. And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words ? God
forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing : 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 ? With
whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my
lord�s bondmen. And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words : he with
whom it is found shall be my servant ; and ye shall be blameless. Then they
speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest : and the cup
was found in Benjamin�s sack. Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his
ass, and returned to the city. � And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph�s
house ; for he was yet there : and they fell before him on the ground. And Joseph
said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done ? wot ye not that such a man as
I can certainly divine ? 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 servants, both we, and he also with whom
the cup is found. And he said, God forbid that I should do so : but the man in
whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant ; and as for you, get you up in
peace unto your father. "
14641 "Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and
by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of
Assyria ? Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and
commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn
incense upon it ? Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people
of other lands ? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to
deliver their lands out of mine hand ? Who was there among all the gods of those
nations that 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 ? Now
therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither
yet believe 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 ? � And his servants spake yet more against
the Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah. He wrote also letters to rail on
the Lord God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the
nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall
not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand. Then they cried with a
loud voice, in the Jews� speech, unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the
wall, to affright them, and to trouble them ; that they might take the city. And
they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the
earth, which were the work of the hands of man. "
20716 "Doth not wisdom cry ? and understanding put forth her voice ? She standeth
in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. She crieth at the
gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors : Unto you, O men,
I call ; and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom : and,
ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Hear ; for I will speak of excellent
things ; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak
truth ; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. "
9600 "down with me to Saul to the camp ? And Abishai said, I will go down with
thee. So David and Abishai came to the people by night : and, behold, Saul lay
sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster : but
Abner and the people lay round about him. Then said Abishai to David, God hath
delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day : now therefore let me smite him, I
pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the
second time. And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not : for who can stretch forth
his hand against the Lord�s anointed, and be guiltless ? David said furthermore, As
the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him ; or his day shall come to die ; or he
shall descend into battle, and perish. The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth
mine hand against the Lord�s anointed : but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear
that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go. So David took the
spear and the cruse of water from Saul�s bolster ; and they gat them away, and no
man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked : for they were all asleep ; because a deep
sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them. � Then David went over to the other side,
and stood on the top of a hill afar off ; a great space being between them : and
David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not,
Abner ? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king ? And
David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man ? and who is like to thee in Israel
? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king ? for there came one of the
people in to destroy the king thy lord. This thing is not good that thou hast done.
As the Lord liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the
Lord�s anointed. And now see where the king�s spear is, and the cruse of water that
was at his bolster. "

you. As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will
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. Likewise when all the
Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all
the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that
he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan ; even 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. "

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. � 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. And the men of Babylon
made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made
Ashima, and the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their
children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. So they
feared the Lord, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high
places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. They feared the
Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried
away from thence. 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 and commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named
Israel ; 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 : but the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with
great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship,
and to him shall ye do sacrifice. 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. And the covenant that I have made with
you ye shall not forget ; neither shall ye fear other gods. But the Lord your God
ye shall fear ; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. "

the spoons was a hundred and twenty shekels. All the oxen for the burnt offering
were twelve bullocks, the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with
their meat offering : and the kids of the goats for sin offering twelve. And all

that I have yet to speak on God�s behalf. I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and
will ascribe rightousness to my Maker. For truly my words shall not be false : he
that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not
any : he is mighty in strength and wisdom. He preserveth not the life of the wicked
: but giveth right to the poor. He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous :
but with kings are they on the throne ; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and
they are exalted. And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of
affliction ; then he showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they
have exceeded. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they
return from iniquity. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in
prosperity, and their years in pleasures. But if they obey not, they shall perish
by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. But the hypocrites in heart
heap up wrath : they cry not when he bindeth them. "

it be unto thee ? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin ? I
will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. Look unto the heavens, and see ;
and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. If thou sinnest, what doest thou
against him ? Or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him ? If
thou be righteous, what givest thou him ? Or what receiveth he of thine hand ? Thy
wickedness may hurt a man as thou art ; and thy righteousness may profit the son of
man. By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry :
they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. But none saith, Where is God my
maker, who giveth songs in the night ; who teacheth us more than the beasts of the
earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven ? There they cry, but none
giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. Surely God will not hear vanity,
neither will the Almighty regard it. Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him,
yet judgment is before him ; therefore trust thou in him. But now, because it is
not so, he hath visited in his anger ; "

will punish Jacob according to his ways ; according to his doings will he
recompense him. He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he

God : keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. � He is a merchant,

Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance : in all my labors they shall
find none iniquity in me that were sin. And I that am the Lord thy God from the
land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the
solemn feast. � I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions,
and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. Is there iniquity in
Gilead ? surely they are vanity : they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal ; yea, their

and slew them. Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. There was not a
city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants
of Gibeon : all other they took in battle. For it was of the Lord to harden their
hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them
utterly, and that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as the
Lord commanded Moses. � And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakim from
the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of
Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel : Joshua destroyed them utterly with
their cities. There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of
Israel : only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained. So Joshua took the

an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the

them, even this day, their lands, 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. Then said they, We will restore them, and will require

performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the

us. Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. Rebuke

delight in war. Princes shall come out of Egypt ; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out
her hands unto God. Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth ; O sing praises unto

treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. And this is the
number of them : thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and
twenty knives, thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred

Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward ; and other of the
Levites, all that could skill of instruments of music. Also they were over the
bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner
of service : and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters. �
And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord,
Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the Lord given by Moses. 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. And Shaphan carried
the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was
committed to thy servants, they do it. And they have gathered together the money
that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the
overseers, and to the hand of the workmen. Then Shaphan the scribe told the king,
saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the
king. � And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he
rent his clothes. And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan,
and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the
king�s, saying, Go, 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 word of the Lord, to do after all that is written in this book. "
20924 "Every wise woman buildeth her house : but the foolish plucketh it down with
her hands. He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord : but he that is
perverse in his ways despiseth him. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride :
but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. Where no oxen are, the crib is
clean : but much increase is by the strength of the ox. A faithful witness will not
lie : but a false witness will utter lies. A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it
not : but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. Go from the presence of a
foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of
the prudent is to understand his way : but the folly of fools is deceit. Fools make
a mock at sin : but among the righteous there is favor. The heart knoweth his own
bitterness ; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. The house of the
wicked shall be overthrown : but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man ; but the end thereof are the ways of
death. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful ; and the end of that mirth is
heaviness. "

blind and the lame shall not come into the house. So David dwelt in the fort, and
called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward. And

people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent
us. "
36372 "Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may
prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto
God : for no man understandeth him ; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and
comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself ; but he that
prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather
that ye prophesied : for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with
tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. � Now,
brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except
I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or
by doctrine ? And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp,
except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped
or harped ? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself
to the battle ? "

4639 "For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast
: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them
for myself. And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of
Israel. And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among
the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the
tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel
: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel
come nigh unto the sanctuary. � And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the Lord
commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes ; and Aaron offered
them as an offering before the Lord ; and Aaron made an atonement for them to
cleanse them. And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the
tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons : as the Lord had
commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them. � And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying, This is it that belongeth unto the Levites : from twenty and
five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the
tabernacle of the congregation : and from the age of fifty years they shall cease
waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more : but shall minister with
their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall
do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge. "
13301 "For all the gods of the people are idols : but the Lord made the heavens.
Glory and honor are in his presence ; strength and gladness are in his place. Give
unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
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. Fear before him, all the earth :
the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. Let the heavens be glad, and
let the earth rejoice : and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth. Let
the sea roar, and the fulness thereof : let the fields rejoice, and all that is
therein. Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord,
because he cometh to judge the earth. O give thanks unto the Lord ; for he is
good ; for his mercy endureth for ever. And say ye, Save us, O God of our
salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may
give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. Blessed be the Lord God of
Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord. "
21775 "For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the
righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God : no man knoweth
either love or hatred by all that is before them. 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. This is an evil among all things that are 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. For
to him that is joined to all the living there is hope : for a living dog is better
than a dead lion. "
18793 "For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. When he
slew them, then they sought him : and they returned and inquired early after God.
And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with
their tongues. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast
in his covenant. 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. For he remembered that they were but flesh ; a wind that passeth
away, and cometh not again. How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and
grieve him in the desert ! Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the
Holy One of Israel. They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered
them from the enemy : how he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the
field of Zoan : and had turned their rivers into blood ; and their floods, that
they could not drink. He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured
them ; and frogs, which destroyed them. He gave also their increase unto the
caterpillar, and their labor unto the locust. He destroyed their vines with hail,
and their sycamore trees with frost. He gave up their cattle also to the hail, "
23645 "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. � I
have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace
day nor night : ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give him no
rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 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 the sons of the stranger shall not
drink thy wine, for the which thou hast labored : but they that have gathered it
shall eat it, and praise the Lord ; and they that have brought it together shall
drink it in the courts of my holiness. � Go through, go through the gates ; prepare
ye the way of the people ; cast up, cast up the highway ; gather out the stones ;
lift up a standard for the people. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of
the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh ; behold,
his reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call them, The
holy people, The redeemed of the Lord : and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A
city not forsaken. "
29758 "for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale�s belly ; so shall
the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of
Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : because
they repented at the preaching of Jonah ; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is
here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation,
and shall condemn it : for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear
the wisdom of Solomon ; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. "
36697 "For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to
write to you : for I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to
them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago ; and your zeal hath provoked
very many. Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain
in this behalf ; that, as I said, ye may be ready : "
20675 "For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread : and
the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Can a man take fire in his bosom,
and his clothes not be burned ? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be
burned ? So he that goeth in to his neighbor�s wife ; whosoever toucheth her shall
not be innocent. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when
he is hungry ; but if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold ; he shall give all
the substance of his house. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh
understanding : he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. A wound and dishonor
shall he get ; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. For jealousy is the rage
of a man : therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will not regard
any ransom ; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. "
38571 "For even hereunto were ye called : because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps : who did no sin, neither
was guile found in his mouth : who, when he was reviled, reviled not again ; when
he suffered, he threatened not ; but committed himself to him that judgeth
righteously : who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness : by whose stripes ye were
healed. For ye were as sheep going astray ; but are now returned unto the Shepherd
and Bishop of your souls. "
38077 "For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things
pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins : who can
have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way ; for that he
himself also is compassed with infirmity. And by reason hereof he ought, as for the
people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. And no man taketh this honor unto
himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. � So also Christ glorified
not himself to be made a high priest ; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son,
today have I begotten thee. As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest
for ever after the order of Melchizedek. � Who in the days of his flesh, when he
had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that
was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared ; though he were a
Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered ; and being made
perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him ;
called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. "
36301 "For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be
divisions among you ; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies
among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. When ye
come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord�s supper. For
in eating every one taketh before other his own supper : and one is hungry, and
another is drunken. What ! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in ? or despise
ye the church of God, and shame them that have not ? What shall I say to you ?
shall I praise you in this ? I praise you not. "
35850 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon
all. � O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God ! how
unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out ! For who hath known
the mind of the Lord ? or who hath been his counselor ? or who hath first given to
him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again ? For of him, and through him, and
to him, are all things : to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
38108 "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye
have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do
minister. And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the
full assurance of hope unto the end : that ye be not slothful, but followers of
them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. � For when God made
promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily
swear by the greater : and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all
strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the
immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath : that by two immutable
things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong
consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us :
which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which
entereth into that within the veil ; whither the forerunner is for us entered,
even Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. "
16839 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and
multiplieth his words against God.
16048 "For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. If I speak
of strength, lo, he is strong : and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to
plead ? If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me : if I say, I am
perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Though I were perfect, yet would I not
know my soul : I would despise my life. This is one thing, therefore I said it, He
destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh
at the trial of the innocent. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked : he
covereth the faces of the judges thereof ; if not, where, and who is he ? Now my
days are swifter than a post : they flee away, they see no good. They are passed
away as the swift ships : as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. If I say, I will
forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself ; I am
afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. If I be
wicked, why then labor I in vain ? If I wash myself with snow water, and make my
hands never so clean ; yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes
shall abhor me. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we
should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that
might lay his hand upon us both. "
19268 for he cometh to judge the earth : with righteousness shall he judge the
world, and the people with equity.
6556 "for he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was
none to save her. � 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 ; 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. � A man shall not take his father�s wife, nor discover his father�s
skirt. "
18043 "for he is thy Lord ; and worship thou him. And the daughter of Tyre shall be
there with a gift ; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor. The
King�s daughter is all glorious within : her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall
be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework : the virgins her companions that
follow her shall be brought unto thee. With gladness and rejoicing shall they be
brought : they shall enter into the King�s palace. Instead of thy fathers shall be
thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. I will make thy name
to be remembered in all generations : therefore shall the people praise thee for
ever and ever. "
37264 "For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had
heard that he had been sick. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death : but God had
mercy on him ; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon
sorrow. I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye
may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. Receive him therefore in the
Lord with all gladness ; and hold such in reputation : because for the work of
Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of
service toward me. "
24303 "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her
roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green
; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from
yielding fruit. � The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked :
who can know it ? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every
man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. As the
partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not ; so he that getteth riches, and
not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a
fool. � A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. O
Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that
depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord,
the fountain of living waters. � Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed ; save me,
and I shall be saved : for thou art my praise. Behold, they say unto me, Where is
the word of the Lord ? let it come now. As for me, I have not hastened from being a
pastor to follow thee : neither have I desired the woeful day ; thou knowest : that
which came out of my lips was right before thee. Be not a terror unto me : thou art
my hope in the day of evil. Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not
me be confounded : let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed : bring upon
them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction. "
23446 "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a
dry ground : he hath no form nor comeliness ; and when we shall see him, there is
no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men ; a man of
sorrows, and acquainted with grief : and we hid as it were our faces from him ; he
was despised, and we esteemed him not. � Surely he hath borne our griefs, and
carried our sorrows : yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and
afflicted. 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. 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. � He was oppressed,
and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth : he is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment : and who shall declare his generation ?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living : for the transgression of my
people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in
his death ; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
� 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. He shall see of
the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied : by his knowledge shall my
righteous servant justify many ; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will
I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the
strong ; because he hath poured out his soul unto death : and he was numbered with
the transgressors : and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors. "
31124 "For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered
into the hands of men, and they shall kill him ; and after that he is killed, he
shall rise the third day. But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to
ask him. "
38896 for he that biddeth him God-speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
14486 "for he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten
images for Baalim. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom,
and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the
Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. He sacrificed also and burnt
incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. �
Wherefore the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria ; and
they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought
them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel,
who smote him with a great slaughter. For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a
hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men ; because they
had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim,
slew Maaseiah the king�s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah
that was next to the king. � 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. But a prophet of the Lord
was there, whose name was Oded : and he went out before the host that came to
Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the Lord God of your fathers was wroth
with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage
that reacheth up unto heaven. And now ye purpose to keep under the children of
Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you : but are there not with
you, even with you, sins against the Lord your God ? Now hear me therefore, and
deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren : for the
fierce wrath of the Lord is upon you. Then certain of the heads of the children of
Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and
Jehizkiah "
30936 "for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and a holy, and
observed him ; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. And
when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his
lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee ; and when the daughter of the
said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him,
the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it
thee. And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee,
unto the half of my kingdom. And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What
shall I ask ? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. And she came in
straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me
by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. And the king was exceeding
sorry ; yet for his oath�s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would
not reject her. And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his
head to be brought : and he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his
head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel ; and the damsel gave it to her
mother. And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and
laid it in a tomb. "
20213 for his mercy endureth for ever : even a heritage unto Israel his servant :
for his mercy endureth for ever. Who remembered us in our low estate : for his
mercy endureth for ever : and hath redeemed us from our enemies : for his mercy
endureth for ever. Who giveth food to all flesh : for his mercy endureth for ever.
O give thanks unto the God of heaven : for his mercy endureth for ever.
31968 "For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say
unto one, Go, and he goeth ; and to another, Come, and he cometh ; and to my
servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at
him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto
you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And they that were sent,
returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. "
29521 "For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me : and I say to this
man, Go, and he goeth ; and to another, Come, and he cometh ; and to my servant, Do
this, and he doeth it. 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. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall
sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven : but the
children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness : there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way ; and
as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the
selfsame hour. "
26018 "For I am the Lord : I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come
to pass ; it shall be no more prolonged : for in your days, O rebellious house,
will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God. � Again the word of
the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say,
The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times
that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God ; There shall
none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be
done, saith the Lord God. "
23167 "For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour : I gave
Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou wast precious in my
sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee : therefore will I give men
for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not ; for I am with thee : I will bring thy
seed from the east, and gather thee from the west : I will say to the north, Give
up ; and to the south, Keep not back : bring my sons from far, and my daughters
from the ends of the earth ; even every one that is called by my name : for I have
created him for my glory, I have formed him ; yea, I have made him. � Bring forth
the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Let all the nations
be gathered together, and let the people be assembled : who among them can declare
this, and show us former things ? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they
may be justified : or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 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. I, even I, am the Lord ; and beside me there is no saviour. I
have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god
among you : therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. Yea,
before the day was I am he ; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand : I
will work, and who shall let it ? � Thus saith the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy
One of Israel ; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all
their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. I am the Lord, your
Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way
in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters ; "
35787 "For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to
knowledge. For they, being ignorant of God�s righteousness, and going about to
establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the
righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every
one that believeth. � For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law,
That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness
which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend
into heaven ? (that is, to bring Christ down from above :) or, Who shall descend
into the deep ? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith
it ? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart : that is, the word
of faith, which we preach ; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness ; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever
believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew
and the Greek : for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. � How then shall
they call on him in whom they have not believed ? and how shall they believe in him
of whom they have not heard ? and how shall they hear without a preacher ? and how
shall they preach, except they be sent ? as it is written, How beautiful are the
feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things
! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath
believed our report ? "
19316 "For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
because of thine indignation and thy wrath : for thou hast lifted me up, and cast
me down. My days are like a shadow that declineth ; and I am withered like grass.
But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever ; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion : for the time to favor her, yea, the
set time, is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust
thereof. So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the
earth thy glory. When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. This
shall be written for the generation to come : and the people which shall be created
shall praise the Lord. For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary ;
from heaven did the Lord behold the earth ; to hear the groaning of the prisoner ;
to loose those that are appointed to death ; to declare the name of the Lord in
Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem ; when the people are gathered together, and the
kingdoms, to serve the Lord. He weakened my strength in the way ; he shortened my
days. I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days : thy years are
throughout all generations. Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth : and
the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure : "
19895 for I have sought thy precepts. The wicked have waited for me to destroy me :
but I will consider thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection : but thy
commandment is exceeding broad. mem O how love I thy law ! It is my meditation all
the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies : for
they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers : for thy
testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep
thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy
word. I have not departed from thy judgments : for thou hast taught me. How sweet
are thy words unto my taste ! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth. Through thy
precepts I get understanding : therefore I hate every false way. nun Thy word is a
lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much : quicken me, O
Lord, according unto thy word. Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my
mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand : yet
do I not forget thy law.
6130 "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 at that time also.
And the Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him : and I prayed for
Aaron also the same time. And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and
burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as
small as dust : and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of
the mount. � And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked
the Lord to wrath. Likewise 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. Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you. �
Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the
first ; because the Lord had said he would destroy you. I prayed therefore 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. Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ; look
not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin
: lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the Lord was not able to
bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath
brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. Yet they are thy people and thine
inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out
arm. "
38168 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made
the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
23002 "For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant
David�s sake. � Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the
Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand : and when they arose early in
the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. So Sennacherib king of Assyria
departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he
was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his
sons smote him with the sword ; and they escaped into the land of Armenia : and
Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead. "
22408 For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from
Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord. I will also
make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water : and I will sweep it with
the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.
37359 "For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at
Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh ; that their hearts
might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full
assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the
Father, and of Christ ; in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. For though I
be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your
order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. � As ye have therefore
received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him : "
1619 "for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down
a wall. 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. Judah, thou art he
whom thy brethren shall praise : thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies ;
thy father�s children shall bow down before thee. 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
an old lion ; who shall rouse him up ? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,
nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come ; and unto him shall the
gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass�s colt unto
the choice vine ; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of
grapes : his eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. Zebulun
shall dwell at the haven of the sea ; and he shall be for a haven of ships ; and
his border shall be unto Zidon. Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two
burdens : and he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant ; and
bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute. Dan shall judge his
people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, "
27922 "For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples ; and Judah hath
multiplied fenced cities : but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall
devour the palaces thereof. "
37143 "For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in
secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light : for
whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that
sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. � See then
that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because
the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of
the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess ; but be filled with the
Spirit ; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord ; giving thanks always for all things
unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ; submitting
yourselves one to another in the fear of God. "
18222 for it is good. For he hath delivered me out of all trouble : and mine eye
hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
22440 "For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the
daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. Take counsel, execute judgment ;
make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday ; hide the outcasts ;
bewray not him that wandereth. Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab ; be thou a
covert to them from the face of the spoiler : for the extortioner is at an end, the
spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. And in mercy shall
the throne be established : and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of
David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. � We have heard of
the pride of Moab ; he is very proud : even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and
his wrath : but his lies shall not be so. Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every
one shall howl : for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn ; surely they
are stricken. � For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah : the
lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come
even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness : her branches are stretched
out, they are gone over the sea. Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer
the vine of Sibmah : I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh : for
the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen. And gladness is
taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field ; and in the vineyards there shall
be no singing, neither shall there be shouting : the treaders shall tread out no
wine in their presses ; I have made their vintage shouting to cease. Wherefore my
bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-haresh. And
it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that
he shall come to his sanctuary to pray ; but he shall not prevail. � This is the
word that the Lord hath spoken concerning Moab since that time. "
23241 "For Jacob my servant�s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee
by thy name : I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. I am the Lord,
and there is none else, there is no God besides me : I girded thee, though thou
hast not known me ; that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the
west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form
the light, and create darkness : I make peace, and create evil : I the Lord do all
these things. "
31999 "For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine ; and ye
say, He hath a devil. 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 ! But
wisdom is justified of all her children. "
23897 "For my people is foolish, they have not known me ; they are sottish
children, and they have none understanding : they are wise to do evil, but to do
good they have no knowledge. � I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form,
and void ; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo,
they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no
man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful
place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence
of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. � For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land
shall be desolate ; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn,
and the heavens above be black : because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and
will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. The whole city shall flee for
the noise of the horsemen and bowmen ; they shall go into thickets, and climb up
upon the rocks : every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. And
when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do ? Though thou clothest thyself with
crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy
face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair ; thy lovers will despise
thee, they will seek thy life. For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail,
and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the
daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is
me now ! for my soul is wearied because of murderers. "
19021 "for my soul is full of troubles : and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. I
am counted with them that go down into the pit : I am as a man that hath no
strength : free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou
rememberest no more : and they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the
lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast
afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far
from me ; thou hast made me an abomination unto them : I am shut up, and I cannot
come forth. Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction : Lord, I have called daily
upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. Wilt thou show wonders to the
dead ? Shall the dead arise and praise thee ? Selah. Shall thy loving-kindness be
declared in the grave ? or thy faithfulness in destruction ? Shall thy wonders be
known in the dark ? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness ? But unto
thee have I cried, O Lord ; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. Lord,
why castest thou off my soul ? Why hidest thou thy face from me ? I am afflicted
and ready to die from my youth up : while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. Thy
fierce wrath goeth over me ; thy terrors have cut me off. They came round about me
daily like water ; "
31337 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom : and
there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and
troubles : these are the beginnings of sorrows. � But take heed to yourselves : for
they shall deliver you up to councils ; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten :
and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony
against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when
they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall
speak, neither do ye premeditate : but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour,
that speak ye : for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother
shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son ; and children shall rise
up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be
hated of all men for my name�s sake : but he that shall endure unto the end, the
same shall be saved. � But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken
of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth
understand,) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains : and let him
that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take
any thing out of his house : and let him that is in the field not turn back again
for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that
give suck in those days ! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in
those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation
which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had
shortened those days, no flesh should be saved : but for the elect�s sake, whom he
hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. "
33417 "For neither did his brethren believe in him. Then Jesus said unto them, My
time is not yet come : but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you ;
but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Go ye
up unto this feast : I go not up yet unto this feast ; for my time is not yet full
come. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. "
14528 "For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of
the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the
habitation of the Lord, and turned their backs. 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. Wherefore the wrath of the Lord
was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to
astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. For, lo, our fathers have
fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity
for this. Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel,
that his fierce wrath may turn away from us. My sons, be not now negligent : for
the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should
minister unto him, and burn incense. � Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of
Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites : and of the
sons of Merari ; Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel : and of
the Gershonites ; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah : and of the
sons of Elizaphan ; Shimri, and Jeiel : and of the sons of Asaph ; Zechariah, and
Mattaniah : and of the sons of Heman ; Jehiel, and Shimei : and of the sons of
Jeduthun ; Shemaiah, and Uzziel. And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified
themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the
Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord. And the priests went into the inner part of
the house of the Lord, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they
found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord. And the
Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron. "
35883 "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then
not be afraid of the power ? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of
the same : for he is the 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 the
minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye
must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience� sake. For, for
this cause pay ye tribute also : for they are God�s ministers, attending
continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues : tribute to
whom tribute is due ; custom to whom custom ; fear to whom fear ; honor to whom
honor. � Owe no man any thing, but to love one another : for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou
shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt
not covet ; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in
this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill
to his neighbor : therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. � And that, knowing
the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep : for now is our salvation
nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand : let us
therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let
us walk honestly, as in the day ; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering
and wantonness, not in strife and envying : but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. "
474 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time
of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was
born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac
being eight days old, as God had commanded him. And Abraham was a hundred years
old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath made me to
laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said
unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck ? for I have borne him a
son in his old age.
38666 "for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. � Wherefore I will not be
negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them,
and be established in the present truth. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in
this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance ; knowing that
shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath
showed me. Moreover I will endeavor that ye may be able after my decease to have
these things always in remembrance. "
11245 "for so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor
drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. So he went another
way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el. � Now there dwelt an old
prophet in Beth-el ; and 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 they told also to their father. And their father said unto them, What way went
he ? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah. And
he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass : and he rode
thereon, and 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.
Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. 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 : 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. He said unto him, I am a prophet also 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. So he went back with him,
and did eat bread in his house, and drank water. � 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
: and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the
Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the
commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee, "
13862 "for Solomon had made a brazen 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, and said, O Lord God of Israel, there is
no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth ; which keepest covenant, and
showest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts : thou
which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised
him ; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is
this day. Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my
father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man
in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel ; yet so that thy children take heed
to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. Now then, O Lord
God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant
David. � 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
built ! Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his
supplication, O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy
servant prayeth before thee : that thine eyes may be open upon this house day and
night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name
there ; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel,
which they shall make toward this place : hear thou from thy dwelling place, even
from heaven ; and when thou hearest, forgive. � If a man sin against his neighbor,
and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine
altar in this house ; "
17855 "For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth ; and they that be
cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord :
and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down :
for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old ; yet
have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever
merciful, and lendeth ; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and do good ;
and dwell for evermore. 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.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the
righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God
is in his heart ; none of his steps shall slide. The wicked watcheth the righteous,
and seeketh to slay him. The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him
when he is judged. 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. I have seen the
wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed
away, and, lo, he was not : yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the
perfect man, and behold the upright : "
7188 "For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and
shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth : and what wilt thou do
unto thy great name ? � And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up ; wherefore
liest thou thus upon thy face ? Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed
my covenant which I commanded them : for they have even taken of the accursed
thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among
their own stuff. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their
enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed :
neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow : for thus
saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O
Israel : thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed
thing from among you. In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to
your tribes : and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord taketh shall come
according to the families thereof ; and the family which the Lord shall take shall
come by households ; and the household which the Lord shall take shall come man by
man. And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt
with fire, he and all that he hath : because he hath transgressed the covenant of
the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel. � So Joshua rose up early in
the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes ; and the tribe of Judah was
taken : and he brought the family of Judah ; and he took the family of the Zarhites
: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man ; and Zabdi was taken : and
he brought his household man by man ; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of
Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. "
3221 For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it
by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
32749 "For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench
about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay
thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee ; and they shall not leave
in thee one stone upon another ; because thou knewest not the time of thy
visitation. "
25580 "for the destruction of the daughter of my people ; because the children and
the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. They say to their mothers, Where is
corn and wine ? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when
their soul was poured out into their mothers� bosom. What thing shall I take to
witness for thee ? What thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem ? What
shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion ? For thy
breach is great like the sea : who can heal thee ? Thy prophets have seen vain and
foolish things for thee : and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away
thy captivity ; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment. 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 call The perfection of
beauty, The joy of the whole earth ? All thine enemies have opened their mouth
against thee : they hiss and gnash the teeth : they say, We have swallowed her up :
certainly this is the day that we looked for ; we have found, we have seen it. The
Lord hath done that which he had devised ; he hath fulfilled his word that he had
commanded in the days of old : he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied : and he
hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine
adversaries. Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let
tears run down like a river day and night : "
25636 "for the destruction of the daughter of my people. Mine eye trickleth down,
and ceaseth not, without any intermission, till the Lord look down, and behold from
heaven. Mine eye affecteth mine heart, because of all the daughters of my city.
Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause. They have cut off my life
in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me. Waters flowed over mine head ; then I
said, I am cut off. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon. Thou
hast heard my voice : hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. Thou drewest
near in the day that I called upon thee : thou saidst, Fear not. O Lord, thou hast
pleaded the causes of my soul ; thou hast redeemed my life. O Lord, thou hast seen
my wrong : judge thou my cause. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their
imaginations against me. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their
imaginations against me ; the lips of those that rose up against me, and their
device against me all the day. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up ; I
am their music. Render unto them a recompense, O Lord, according to the work of
their hands. Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them. Persecute and destroy
them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord. "
17873 for the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed
together : the end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the
righteous is of the Lord : he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the
Lord shall help them, and deliver them : he shall deliver them from the wicked, and
save them, because they trust in him.
33298 "For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth

Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them ; even so the Son quickeneth whom
he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the
Son : that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that
honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation ; but is passed from death
unto life. � Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when
the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God : and they that hear shall live.
For as the Father hath life in himself ; so hath he given to the Son to have life
in himself ; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is
the Son of man. Marvel not at this : for the hour is coming, in the which all that
are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth ; they that have done
good, unto the resurrection of life ; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation. "
23029 For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee : they that go
down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall
praise thee, as I do this day : the father to the children shall make known thy
truth. The Lord was ready to save me : therefore we will sing my songs to the
stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the Lord. � For
Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the
boil, and he shall recover. Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall
go up to the house of the Lord ?
30122 "For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which
went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. And when he had
agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he
went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market place,
and said unto them ; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will
give you. And they went their way. "
38200 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of
the things, can never with those sacrifices, which they offered year by year
continually, make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased
to be offered ? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more
conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of
sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should
take away sins. � Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and
offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me :
22275 "For the leaders of this people cause them to err ; and they that are led of
them are destroyed. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,
neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows : for every one is a
hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger
is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. � For wickedness burneth
as the fire : it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the
thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall
be as the fuel of the fire : no man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on
the right hand, and be hungry ; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall
not be satisfied : they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm : 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. "
27087 "For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits
: and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits. And from under these chambers
was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court. � The
chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over
against the separate place, and over against the building. And the way before them
was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as
they, and as broad as they : and all their goings out were both according to their
fashions, and according to their doors. 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. � Then said he unto me,
The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place,
they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the
most holy things : there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat
offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering ; for the place is holy.
When the priests enter therein, 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 shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those
things which are for the people. � Now when he had made an end of measuring the
inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east,
and measured it round about. He measured the east side with the measuring reed,
five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. He measured the north
side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. He measured the
south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. "
20618 "For the lips of a strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is
smoother than oil : but her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death ; her steps take hold on hell. Lest thou shouldest ponder
the path of life, her ways are movable, that thou canst not know them. Hear me now
therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way
far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house : lest thou give thine honor
unto others, and thy years unto the cruel : lest strangers be filled with thy
wealth ; and thy labors be in the house of a stranger ; and thou mourn at the last,
when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, and say, How have I hated instruction,
and my heart despised reproof ; and have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor
inclined mine ear to them that instructed me ! I was almost in all evil in the
midst of the congregation and assembly. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and
running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and
rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers�
with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed : and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe ; let her breasts satisfy thee at
all times ; and be thou ravished always with her love. "
21786 "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. Also
their love, and 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. � Go thy way,
eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart ; for God now
accepteth thy works. � Let thy garments be always white ; and let thy head lack no
ointment. � Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life
of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity :
for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labor which thou takest under the
sun. 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. � 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 favor to men of skill ; but time and chance happeneth to
them all. For man also knoweth not his time : as the fishes that are taken in an
evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare ; so are the sons of men
snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. � This wisdom have I
seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me : 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. 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. Then
said I, Wisdom is better than strength : nevertheless the poor man�s wisdom is
despised, and his words are not heard. � The words of wise men are heard in quiet
more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. "
19732 "for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my
soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before
the Lord in the land of the living. I believed, therefore have I spoken : I was
greatly afflicted : I said in my haste, All men are liars. What shall I render unto
the Lord for all his benefits toward me ? I will take the cup of salvation, and
call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the
presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his
saints. O Lord, truly I am thy servant ; I am thy servant, and the son of thine
handmaid : thou hast loosed my bonds. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of
thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the
Lord now in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the Lord�s house, in
the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord. "
6412 "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. � And if a Levite come
from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the
desire of his mind unto the place which the Lord shall choose ; 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. They shall have like portions to eat, besides that
which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. "
22380 "For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set
them in their own land : and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they
shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them
to their place : and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord
for servants and handmaids : and they shall take them captives, whose captives they
were ; and they shall rule over their oppressors. � And it shall come to pass in
the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and
from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, that thou shalt take up this
proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased ! the
golden city ceased ! The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre
of the rulers. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that
ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. The whole earth is
at rest, and is quiet : they break forth into singing. "
9061 For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name�s sake : because
it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people. Moreover as for me, God forbid
that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you : but I will teach
you the good and the right way : only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with
all your heart : for consider how great things he hath done for you. But if ye
shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
6472 "for the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against
your enemies, to save you. 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.
And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it ? let
him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man
eat of it. 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. And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say,
What man is there that is fearful and faint-hearted ? let him go and return unto
his house, lest his brethren�s heart faint as well as his heart. And it shall be,
when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall
make captains of the armies to lead the people. � When thou comest nigh unto a city
to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. 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 be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. And if it
will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt
besiege it : and when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou
shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword : 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 unto thyself ; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine
enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. Thus shalt thou do unto all the
cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these
nations. "
23401 "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 from
generation to generation. � Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord ;
awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath
cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon ? Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the
waters of the great deep ; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the
ransomed to pass over ? Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come
with singing unto Zion ; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head : they shall
obtain gladness and joy ; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. � I, even I, am
he that comforteth you : who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that
shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass ; and forgettest the
Lord thy Maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of
the earth ; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the
oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy ? and where is the fury of the
oppressor ? The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should
not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail. But I am the Lord thy God, that
divided the sea, whose waves roared : The Lord of hosts is his name. And I have put
my words in thy mouth, and I 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. � Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the
hand of the Lord the cup of his fury ; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of
trembling, and wrung them out. 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. "
37858 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine ; but after
their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears ; and
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
make full proof of thy ministry. � For I am now ready to be offered, and the time
of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith : henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day : and
not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. "
5675 "for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their
fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their
fathers, have received their inheritance ; and half the tribe of Manasseh have
received their inheritance : the two tribes and the half tribe have received their
inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising. � And
the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, These are the names of the men which shall
divide the land unto you : Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. And ye
shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance. And the
names of the men are these : Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. And
of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. Of the tribe of
Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of
the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod. And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. And the prince of the tribe
of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan. And the prince of the tribe
of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. And the prince of the tribe of
the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. These are they whom the Lord
commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of
Canaan. "
28681 "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak,
and not lie : though it tarry, wait for it ; because it will surely come, it will
not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him : but the
just shall live by his faith. Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a
proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as
death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth
unto him all people. "
37897 "For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of
the circumcision : whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching
things which they ought not, for filthy lucre�s sake. One of themselves, even a
prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow
bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be
sound in the faith ; not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men,
that turn from the truth. Unto the pure all things are pure : but unto them that
are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure ; but even their mind and conscience is
defiled. They profess that they know God ; but in works they deny him, being
abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. "
38141 "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the
weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the
bringing in of a better hope did ; by the which we draw nigh unto God. � And
inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest : (for those priests were made
without an oath ; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware
and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek :)
by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. � And they truly were
many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death : but
this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he
is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he
ever liveth to make intercession for them. � For such a high priest became us, who
is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the
heavens ; who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice,
first for his own sins, and then for the people�s : for this he did once, when he
offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity ; but
the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated
for evermore. "
25667 "for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children : they were their
meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people. The Lord hath accomplished
his fury ; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion,
and it hath devoured the foundations thereof. The kings of the earth, and all the
inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy
should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem. For the sins of her prophets, and
the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of
her, they have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves
with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. They cried unto them,
Depart ye ; it is unclean ; depart, depart, touch not : when they fled away and
wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there. The anger
of the Lord hath divided them ; he will no more regard them : they respected not
the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders. As for us, our eyes as yet
failed for our vain help : in our watching we have watched for a nation that could
not save us. They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets : our end is
near, our days are fulfilled ; for our end is come. Our persecutors are swifter
than the eagles of the heaven : they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait
for us in the wilderness. The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, was
taken in their pits, of whom we said, "
15295 "For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the
work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. � Afterward I
came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was
shut up ; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple,
and let us shut the doors of the temple : for they will come to slay thee ; yea, in
the night will they come to slay thee. And I said, Should such a man as I flee ?
and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life ?
I will not go in. And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him ; but that he
pronounced this prophecy against me : for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Therefore 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. My God, think
thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the
prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. �
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty
and two days. And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all
the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their
own eyes : for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God. Moreover in
those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of
Tobiah came unto them. For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was
the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah ; and his son Johanan had taken the
daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah. Also they reported his good deeds
before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
"
25752 "For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them ;
and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God. 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. 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. And thou shalt speak my words
unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear : for they are most
rebellious. � 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.
And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me ; and, lo, a roll of a book was
therein ; and he spread it before me ; and it was written within and without : and
there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. "
19878 "for they dealt perversely with me without a cause : but I will meditate in
thy precepts. Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy
testimonies. Let my heart be sound in thy statutes ; that I be not ashamed. caph My
soul fainteth for thy salvation : but I hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy
word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me ? For I am become like a bottle in the
smoke ; yet do I not forget thy statutes. How many are the days of thy servant ?
When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me ? The proud have digged
pits for me, which are not after thy law. All thy commandments are faithful : they
persecute me wrongfully ; help thou me. They had almost consumed me upon earth ;
but I forsook not thy precepts. Quicken me after thy loving-kindness ; so shall I
keep the testimony of thy mouth. lamed For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in
heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations : thou hast established the earth,
and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine ordinances : for all are
thy servants. Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in
mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts : for with them thou hast
quickened me. I am thine, save me ; "
27893 "For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait :
their baker sleepeth all the night ; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges ; all their kings are
fallen : there is none among them that calleth unto me. � Ephraim, he hath mixed
himself among the people ; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Strangers have devoured
his strength, and he knoweth it not : yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him,
yet he knoweth not. And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face : and they do
not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this. � Ephraim also is like
a silly dove without heart : they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. 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. Woe unto
them ! for they have fled from me : destruction unto them ! because they have
transgressed against me : though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies
against me. � And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled
upon their beds : they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel
against me. Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine
mischief against me. They return, but not to the Most High : they are like a
deceitful bow : their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their
tongue : this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. "
19931 "for they have made void thy law. Therefore I love thy commandments above
gold ; yea, above fine gold. Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all
things to be right ; and I hate every false way. pe Thy testimonies are wonderful :
therefore doth my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words giveth light ; it
giveth understanding unto the simple. I opened my mouth, and panted : for I longed
for thy commandments. Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to
do unto those that love thy name. Order my steps in thy word : and let not any
iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man : so will I
keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant ; and teach me thy
statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
tzaddi Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments. Thy testimonies
that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. My zeal hath consumed me,
because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. Thy word is very pure : therefore
thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised : yet do not I forget thy precepts.
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. "
37061 "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, if ye
have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward :
how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery ; (as I wrote afore in few
words ; whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of
Christ,) which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now
revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit ; "
36319 "For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we
would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are
chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. � Wherefore,
my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man
hunger, let him eat at home ; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the
rest will I set in order when I come. "

remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of

25209 "For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he
may avenge him of his adversaries : and the sword shall devour, and it shall be
satiate and made drunk with their blood : for the Lord God of hosts hath a
sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. Go up into Gilead, and take
balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt : in vain shalt thou use many medicines ; for
thou shalt not be cured. The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath
filled the land : for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are
fallen both together. � The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt. � Declare
ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes : say ye,
Stand fast, and prepare thee ; for the sword shall devour round about thee. Why are
thy valiant men swept away ? they stood not, because the Lord did drive them. He
made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another : and they said, Arise, and let us go
again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing
sword. They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise ; he hath passed
the time appointed. � As I live, saith the King, whose name is The Lord of hosts,
Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity : for Noph
shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant. Egypt is like a very fair
heifer, but destruction cometh ; it cometh out of the north. Also her hired men are
in the midst of her like fatted bullocks ; for they also are turned back, and are
fled away together : they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come
upon them, and the time of their visitation. "

Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him ; to whom also
Abraham gave a tenth part of all ; first being by interpretation King of
righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace ; "
20335 "for thou art my God : thy Spirit is good ; lead me into the land of
uprightness. Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name�s sake : for thy righteousness� sake
bring my soul out of trouble. And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy
all them that afflict my soul : for I am thy servant. "
9999 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee
for ever : and thou, Lord, art become their God. And now, O Lord God, the word that
thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for
ever, and do as thou hast said. And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The
Lord of hosts is the God over Israel : and let the house of thy servant David be
established before thee. For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to
thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house : therefore hath thy servant found
in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. And now, O Lord God, thou art that God,
and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant :
therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may
continue for ever before thee : for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it : and with thy
blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
16103 "For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes. But
oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee ; and that he would show
thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is ! Know therefore
that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. Canst thou by
searching find out God ? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection ? It is
as high as heaven ; what canst thou do ? deeper than hell ; what canst thou know ?
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. If he cut
off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him ? For he knoweth vain
men : he seeth wickedness also ; will he not then consider it ? For vain man would
be wise, though man be born like a wild ass�s colt. If thou prepare thine heart,
and stretch out thine hands toward him ; if iniquity be in thine hand, put it far
away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. For then shalt thou lift up
thy face without spot ; yea, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear : because
thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away : and thine
age shall be clearer than the noonday ; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as
the morning. And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope ; yea, thou shalt dig
about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. Also thou shalt lie down, and
none shall make thee afraid ; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. But the eyes of
the wicked shall fail, "
21489 "for though he understand he will not answer. Seest thou a man that is hasty
in his words ? There is more hope of a fool than of him. He that delicately
bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. A
man�s pride shall bring him low : but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul : he heareth cursing, and
bewrayeth it not. The fear of man bringeth a snare : but whoso putteth his trust in
the Lord shall be safe. Many seek the ruler�s favor ; but every man�s judgment
cometh from the Lord. An unjust man is an abomination to the just : and he that is
upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. "
36201 "For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as
there be gods many, and lords many,) but to us there is but one God, the Father, of
whom are all things, and we in him ; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all
things, and we by him. � Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge : for
some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an
idol ; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But meat commendeth us not to
God : for neither, if we eat, are we the better ; neither, if we eat not, are we
the worse. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a
stumblingblock to them that are weak. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge
sit at meat in the idol�s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be
emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols ; and through thy
knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died ? But when ye sin so
against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world
standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. "
24277 "For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Behold, I will cause
to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and
the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. �
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show 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 ? 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 ;
and ye have done worse than your fathers ; for, behold, ye walk every one after the
imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me : therefore will I
cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers
; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night ; where I will not show you
favor. � Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be
said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt ; but, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land
of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them : and I will bring
them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. � Behold, I will send
for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them ; and after will I send
for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every
hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. For mine eyes are upon all their ways :
they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. And
first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double ; because they have
defiled my land, they have filled mine "
24109 "For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the
land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. � Woe is me
for my hurt ! my wound is grievous : but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must
bear it. My tabernacle 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. For the pastors are become brutish, and have not
sought the Lord : therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be
scattered. Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the
north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. � O
Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself : it is not in man that walketh
to direct his steps. O Lord, correct me, but with judgment ; not in thine anger,
lest thou bring me to nothing. Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee
not, and upon the families that call not on thy name : for they have eaten up
Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate. "
38024 "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels ; but he took on him the
seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his
brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining
to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself
hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted. "
37493 "For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer
tribulation ; even as it came to pass, and ye know. For this cause, when I could no
longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have
tempted you, and our labor be in vain. � But now when Timothy came from you unto
us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good
remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you :
therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress
by your faith : for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. For what thanks can
we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes
before our God ; night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and
might perfect that which is lacking in your faith ? � Now God himself and our
Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. And the Lord make you
to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we
do toward you : to the end he may stablish your hearts unblamable in holiness
before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his
saints. "
35723 For we are saved by hope : but hope that is seen is not hope : for what a man
seeth, why doth he yet hope for ? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we
with patience wait for it. � Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities : for
we know not what we should pray for as we ought : but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 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.
36602 "For we know that, if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we
have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in
this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from
heaven : if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are
in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened : not for that we would be unclothed,
but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Now he that hath
wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest
of the Spirit. � Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at
home in the body, we are absent from the Lord : (for we walk by faith, not by sight
:) we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to
be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we
may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath
done, whether it be good or bad. "
38093 "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach
you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God ; and are become such
as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is
unskilful in the word of righteousness : for he is a babe. But strong meat
belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their
senses exercised to discern both good and evil. "
26291 "For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine
hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees,
and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation
of their offering : there also they made their sweet savor, and poured out there
their drink offerings. Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye
go ? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day. Wherefore say unto the
house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God ; Are ye polluted after the manner of your
fathers ? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations ? For when ye offer your
gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with
all your idols, even 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. � And
that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as
the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. � 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 rule over you : and I will bring you out from the
people, 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. And I will
bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face
to face. 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. And I will cause you to pass
under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant : and I will
purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me : I will
bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter
into the land of Israel : and ye shall know that I am the Lord. � As for you, O
house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God ; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and
hereafter also, if ye will not "
24487 "For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard
his word ? who hath marked his word, and heard it ? Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord
is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind : it shall fall grievously upon
the head of the wicked. The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have
executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart : in the latter days
ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran : I
have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel,
and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from
their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. � Am I a God at hand, saith the
Lord, and not a God afar off ? 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. I
have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have
dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that
prophesy lies ? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart ; which
think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams, which they tell every
man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. The prophet
that hath a dream, let him tell a dream ; and he that hath my word, let him speak
my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat ? saith the Lord. Is not my word
like as a fire ? saith the Lord ; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in
pieces ? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal
my words every one from his neighbor. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the
Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. Behold, I am against them that
prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err
by their lies, "
3420 "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. Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of
beast, in any of your dwellings. Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of
blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. � And the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying, 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 of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. His own hands shall bring the
offerings of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast ; it shall he bring,
that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord. And the priest
shall burn the fat upon the altar : but the breast shall be Aaron�s and his sons�.
And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for a heave offering of the
sacrifices of your peace offerings. He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the
blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his
part. For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of
Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto
Aaron the priest and unto his sons, by a statute for ever, from among the children
of Israel. This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of
his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he
presented them to minister unto the Lord in the priest�s office ; which the Lord
commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed
them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations. � This is the law of the
burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass
offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings ; "
30805 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my
sister, and mother.
23632 "For your shame ye shall have double ; and for confusion they shall rejoice
in their portion : therefore in their land they shall possess the double :
everlasting joy shall be unto them. � For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery
for burnt offering ; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an
everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles,
and their offspring among the people : all that see them shall acknowledge them,
that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed. � I will greatly rejoice in the
Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God ; for he hath clothed me with the garments
of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
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. "
37461 "For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in
vain : but even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated,
as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of
God with much contention. For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of
uncleanness, nor in guile : but as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with
the gospel, even so we speak ; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our
hearts. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak
of covetousness ; God is witness : nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor
yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. But
we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children : so being
affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the
gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. � For ye
remember, brethren, our labor and travail : for laboring night and day, because we
would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. Ye
are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblamably we behaved
ourselves among you that believe : as ye know how we exhorted and comforted and
charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, that ye would walk worthy
of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. "
23634 "For Zion�s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem�s sake I will
not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation
thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and
all kings thy glory : and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of
the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken ;
neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate : but thou shalt be called
Hephzibah [my delight is in her], and thy land Beulah [married] : for the Lord
delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. "
9143 "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. 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. Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of Israel, Give a perfect
lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken : but the people escaped. And Saul said, Cast
lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken. � Then Saul said to
Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but
taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must
die. And Saul answered, God do so and more also : for thou shalt surely die,
Jonathan. 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. Then Saul went up from following the
Philistines : and the Philistines went to their own place. � So Saul took the
kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against
Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of
Zobah, and against the Philistines : and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed
them. And he gathered a host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of
the hands of them that spoiled them. � Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and
Ishui, and Melchi-shua : and the names of his two daughters were these ; the name
of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal : 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. "
28095 "For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the
captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring
them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my
people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and
parted my land. And they have cast lots for my people ; and have given a boy for a
harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. � Yea, and what have ye to
do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine ? will ye render me
a recompense ? and if ye "
29212 "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven ; and all the proud,
yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble : and the day that cometh shall
burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor
branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with
healing in his wings ; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
And ye shall tread down the wicked ; for they shall be ashes under the soles of
your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. � Remember ye
the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel,
with the statutes and judgments. � Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord : 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. "
22096 For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and
from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of
water, the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the
prudent, and the ancient, the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the
counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator. And I will give
children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. And the people shall
be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor : the child shall
behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable. �
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou
hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand :
31559 "Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of
those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them
unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word ; it
seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the
very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou
mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. "
15016 "Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counselors, to
inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in
thine hand ; and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors
have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, and
all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with
the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the
house of their God which is in Jerusalem : that thou mayest buy speedily with this
money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings,
and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. And
whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the
silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God. The vessels also that are
given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the
God of Jerusalem. 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. � 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 speedily, unto a hundred
talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of
wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the
house of the God of heaven : for why should there be wrath against the realm of the
king and his sons ? Also we certify you, that, touching any of the priests and
Levites, singers, porters, Nethinim, or ministers of this house of God, it shall
not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them. "
27395 "Forasmuch as thou sawest that the 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. � Then
the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded
that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him. The king answered unto
Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of
kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. Then the
king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler
over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise
men of Babylon. Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon : but Daniel sat in the
gate of the king. "
38604 "Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves
likewise with the same mind : for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased
from sin ; that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the
lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us
to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts,
excess of wine, revelings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries : wherein they
think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking
evil of you : who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and
the dead. For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead,
that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God
in the spirit. � But the end of all things is at hand : be ye therefore sober, and
watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves : for
charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without
grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to
another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him
speak as the oracles of God ; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability
which God giveth ; that God in "

more be haughty because of my holy mountain. I will also leave in the midst of thee
an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord. 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. � Sing, O daughter of Zion ; shout, O Israel ; be glad and
rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 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 see evil any more. In that day it shall be said
to Jerusalem, Fear thou not : and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack. The Lord
thy God in the midst of thee is mighty ; he will save, he will rejoice over thee
with joy ; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. I will
gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom
the reproach of it was a burden. Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict
thee : and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out ; and I
will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. At
that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you : for I will
make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your
captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord. "

6962 "from his right hand went a fiery law for them. Yea, he loved the people ;
all his saints are in thy hand : and they sat down at thy feet ; every one shall
receive of thy words. Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the
congregation of Jacob. And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people
and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. Let Reuben live, and not die ; and
let not his men be few. � And this is the blessing of Judah : and he said, Hear,
Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people : let his hands be
sufficient for him ; and be thou a help to him from his enemies. � And of Levi he
said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at
Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah ; who said unto
his father and to his mother, I have not seen him ; neither did he acknowledge his
brethren, nor knew his own children : for they have observed thy word, and kept thy
covenant. They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law : they shall put
incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. Bless, Lord, his

sword of Saul returned not empty. 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. Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who
clothed you in scarlet, with other delights ; who put on ornaments of gold upon
your apparel. How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle ! O Jonathan,
thou wast slain in thine high places. 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. How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished ! "

38448 From whence come wars and fightings among you ? come they not hence, even of
your lusts that war in your members ? Ye lust, and have not : ye kill, and desire
to have, and cannot obtain : ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your
lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world
is enmity with God ? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy
of God. Do ye think that the Scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in
us lusteth to envy ? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth
the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
13681 "Furthermore 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. Now I have prepared with all my
might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the
silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things
of iron, and wood for things of wood ; onyx stones, and stones to be set,
glistering stones, and of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and
marble stones in abundance. Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house
of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given
to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
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 : the gold for
things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to
be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his
service this day unto the Lord ? "

37496 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus,
that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would
abound more and more. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from

38307 "Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we
gave them reverence : shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of
spirits, and live ? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own
pleasure ; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now
no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous : nevertheless,
afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are
exercised thereby. "

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 heathen should rule over

heathen : but I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him
into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder

about the camp. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed,
the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people
with a very great plague. And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah

people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth ; and abode at Hazeroth. "
10834 "Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon
king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan ; and he was the only officer which
was in the land. � Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in
multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry. And Solomon reigned over all
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. � And
Solomon�s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore
measures of meal, ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred
sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallow deer, and fatted fowl. For he had
dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah,
over all the kings on this side the river : and he had peace on all sides round
about him. 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. And Solomon had
forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
And those officers provided victuals for king Solomon, and for all that came unto
king Solomon�s table, every man in his month : they lacked nothing. Barley also and
straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers
were, every man according to his charge. � And God gave Solomon wisdom and
understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on
the seashore. And Solomon�s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the
east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men ; than
Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol : and his
fame was in all nations round about. "

turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. And thou shalt say unto him, The
Lord 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 wouldest not hear. 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. And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the
river shall stink ; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the
river. And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out
thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and
upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood ;
and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of
wood, and in vessels of stone. � 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. And the fish that was in the river died ;
and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river ;
and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. And the magicians of Egypt
did so with their enchantments : and Pharaoh�s heart was hardened, neither did he
hearken unto them ; as the Lord had said. And Pharaoh turned and went into his
house, neither did he set his heart to this also. And all the Egyptians digged
round about the river for water to drink ; for they could not drink of the water of
the river. "

of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked : for they cast
iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. My heart is sore pained within me :
and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling are come
upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a
dove ! For then would I fly away, and be at rest. Lo, then would I wander far off,
and remain in the wilderness. Selah. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm
and tempest. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues : for I have seen violence

voice of my cry, my King, and my God : for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt
thou hear in the morning, O Lord ; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto
thee, and will look up. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness :
neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight : thou
hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing : the
Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. But as for me, I will come into thy

people : for who can judge this thy people, that is so great ? And God said to
Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth,
or honor, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life ; but
hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over
whom I have made thee king : wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee ; and I will
give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that
have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. Then

young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street. Behold, O Lord,
and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and
children of a span long ? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the
sanctuary of the Lord ? The young and the old 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 killed, and not pitied. Thou hast called as in a solemn
day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord�s anger none escaped nor
remained : those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed. "

Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars ; yea, the Lord
breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf ; Lebanon
and Sirion like a young unicorn. The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness ; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of
Kadesh. The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the

see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish aught from
your bricks of your daily task. And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way,

keeper of the wardrobe ; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college ;) and they
communed with her. And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell
the man that sent you to me, 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 : 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 my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not
be quenched. But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus
shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words which
thou hast heard ; because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled 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.
Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered
into thy grave in peace ; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will
bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again. "

appointed thee ruler over Israel ; that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor
offense of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that
my lord hath avenged himself : but when the Lord shall have dealt well with my
lord, then remember thine handmaid. � And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the
Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me : and blessed be thy
advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood,
and from avenging myself with mine own hand. For in very deed, as the Lord God of
Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted
and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light
any that pisseth against the wall. So David received of her hand that which she had
brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house ; see, I have
hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person. � 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. But it came to pass in the morning,
when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that
his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. And it came to pass about ten
days after, that the Lord smote Nabal, that he died. � And when David heard that
Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath pleaded the cause of my
reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil : for the Lord
hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and
communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife. "

mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is
mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in
her palaces for a refuge. For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by
together. They saw it, and so they marveled ; they were troubled, and hasted away.
Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. Thou breakest
the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. As we have heard, so have we seen in the
city of the Lord of hosts, "

the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her
feathers with yellow gold. When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as
snow in Salmon. The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan ; a high hill as the hill
of Bashan. Why leap ye, ye high hills ? This is the hill which God desireth to
dwell in ; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever. The chariots of God are twenty
thousand, even thousands of angels : the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the
holy place. Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive : thou hast
received gifts for men ; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might
dwell among them. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the
God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of salvation ; and unto
God the Lord belong the issues from death. But God shall wound the head of his
enemies, and the hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his trespasses. The
Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the
depths of the sea : that thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and
the tongue of thy dogs in the same. They have seen thy goings, O God ; "

friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call
you not servants ; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have
called you friends ; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made
known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you,

Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of
salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand. And other ten thousand left
alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, 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. But the soldiers 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 three thousand of them, and took much spoil. � 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. 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 could not deliver
their own people out of thine hand ? And it came to pass, as he talked with him,
that the king said unto him, Art thou made 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. � 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
see one another in the face. 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. Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast
smitten the Edomites ; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast : abide now at home

straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any
food this day. And the people were faint. 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. How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely
today of the spoil of their enemies which they found ? for had there not been now a
much greater slaughter among the Philistines ? � And they smote the Philistines
that day from Michmash to Aijalon : and the people were very faint. 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. Then they told Saul, saying,
Behold, the people sin against the Lord, in that they eat with the blood. And he
said, Ye have transgressed : roll a great stone unto me this day. 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. And Saul built an altar unto the Lord : the
same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord. � 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. 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. And Saul said, Draw ye near
hither, all the chief of the people : and know and see wherein this sin hath been
this day. "

servant king instead of David my father : and I am but a little child : I know not
how to go out or come in. 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.
Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may

behold, I have done according to thy word : lo, I have given thee a wise and an
understanding heart ; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after
thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou
hast not asked, both riches, and honor : so that there shall not be any among the
kings like unto thee all thy days. 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. � And Solomon awoke ; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to

Behold, all that he hath is in thy power ; only upon himself put not forth thine

his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother�s

the asses feeding beside them : and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them

the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead ; and I only am

houses with good things : but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. The
righteous see it, and are glad : and the innocent laugh them to scorn. Whereas our
substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. Acquaint now
thyself with him, and be at peace : thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I
pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. If thou
return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far
from thy tabernacles. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as
the stones of the brooks. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense, and thou shalt
have plenty of silver. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and
shalt lift up thy face unto God. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall
hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it
shall be established unto thee : and the light shall shine upon thy ways. When men
are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up ; and he shall save the
humble person. He shall deliver the island of the innocent : and it is delivered by
the pureness of thine hands. "

upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. � Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and
upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven ; and he overthrew
those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that
which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she
became a pillar of salt. And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where
he stood before the Lord : and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all
the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the
smoke of a furnace. � 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. � 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. 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 : come, let us make our father drink
wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they
made their father drink wine that night : and the firstborn went in, and lay with
her father ; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 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. "

sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like, 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 neighbor�s wife, neither hath oppressed any, hath
not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his
bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment, that hath taken off
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. As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed,
spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people,

king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall

one of the king�s sons. And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And
all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. So
Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem : for he did eat continually at the king�s table ;

righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned : in his trespass that he
hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. � 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 ? When a righteous man turneth away from his
righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them ; for his iniquity that
he hath done shall he die. 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. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his
transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 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 ? � Therefore I will judge you, O
house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and
turn yourselves from all your transgressions ; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed ; and make
you a new heart and a new spirit : for why will ye die, O house of Israel ? For I
have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God : wherefore
turn yourselves, and live ye. "

this evil in thy sight : that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be
clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity ; and in sin did my
mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts : and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be
clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and
gladness ; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my

And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgment I

God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us ; but by thee only will we
make mention of thy name. They are dead, they shall not live ; they are deceased,

the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand ; and one man among them

Judah mourning and lamentation. And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as
if it were of a garden ; he hath destroyed his places of the assembly : the Lord
hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath
despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. The Lord hath
cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand
of the enemy the walls of her palaces ; they have made a noise in the house of the
Lord, as in the day of a solemn feast. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall
of the daughter of Zion : he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his
hand from destroying : therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament ; they
languished together. Her gates are sunk into the ground ; he hath destroyed and
broken her bars : her king and her princes are among the Gentiles : the law is no
more ; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord. The elders of the daughter
of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence : they have cast up dust upon their
heads ; they have girded themselves with sackcloth : the virgins of Jerusalem hang
down their heads to the ground. Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are

prayer. He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone ; he hath made my paths crooked.
He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. He hath
turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces : he hath made me desolate. He hath
bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. He hath caused the arrows of his
quiver to enter into my reins. I was a derision to all my people ; and their song
all the day. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with
wormwood. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with
ashes. And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace : I forgat prosperity. And
I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord : remembering mine
affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in
remembrance, and is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
It is of the Lord�s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail
not. They are new every morning : great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my
portion, saith my soul ; therefore will I hope in him. The Lord is good unto them
that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both
hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. "

pillars of heaven tremble, and are astonished at his reproof. He divideth the sea
with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. By his
Spirit he hath garnished the heavens ; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
Lo, these are parts of his ways ; but how little a portion is heard of him ? But
the thunder of his power who can understand ? "
21507 "he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his
words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Two things have I required
of thee ; deny me them not before I die : remove far from me vanity and lies ; give
me neither poverty nor riches ; feed me with food convenient for me : lest I be
full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord ? or lest I be poor, and steal, and
take the name of my God in vain. Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he
curse thee, and thou be found guilty. There is a generation that curseth their
father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in
their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation,
O how lofty are their eyes ! And their eyelids are lifted up. There is a
generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the
poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. The horseleech hath two
daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied,
yea, four things say not, It is enough : the grave ; and the barren womb ; the
earth that is not filled with water ; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of
the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. There be three
things which are too wonderful for me, "
17731 "he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord
standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the
nation whose God is the Lord ; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own
inheritance. The Lord looketh from heaven ; he beholdeth all the sons of men. From
the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He
fashioneth their hearts alike ; he considereth all their works. There is no king
saved by the multitude of a host : a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
A horse is a vain thing for safety : neither shall he deliver any by his great
strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that
hope in his mercy ; to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord : he is our help and our shield. For our
heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy
mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. "
33201 He Must Increase, but I Must Decrease
21192 "he receiveth knowledge. The righteous man wisely considereth the house of
the wicked : but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness. Whoso stoppeth
his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
A gift in secret pacifieth anger : and a reward in the bosom, strong wrath. It is
joy to the just to do judgment : but destruction shall be to the workers of
iniquity. The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in
the congregation of the dead. He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man : he that
loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. The wicked shall be a ransom for the
righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. It is better to dwell in the
wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. There is treasure to be
desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise ; but a foolish man spendeth it up. He
that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and
honor. A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of
the confidence thereof. Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul
from troubles. Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
The desire of the slothful killeth him ; for his hands refuse to labor. He coveteth
greedily all the day long : but the righteous giveth and spareth not. The sacrifice
of the wicked is abomination : how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked
mind ? A false witness shall perish : but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
"
14070 "He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother�s name also was Michaiah the
daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. � And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. And
Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four
hundred thousand chosen men : Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him
with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor. And Abijah stood
up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou
Jeroboam, and all Israel ; ought ye not to know that the Lord God of Israel gave
the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a
covenant of salt ? Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of
David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. And there are gathered unto
him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against
Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could
not withstand them. � 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
golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. Have ye not cast out the priests
of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after
the manner of the nations 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. But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him ; and
the priests, which minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites
wait upon their business : and they burn unto the Lord every morning and every
evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense : the showbread 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. "
29981 "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am ? And Simon Peter answered and
said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said
unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona : for flesh and blood hath not revealed
it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church ; and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it. And 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. Then charged he his disciples
that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. "
30034 "He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him,
saying, What thinkest thou, Simon ? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom
or tribute ? of their own children, or of strangers ? Peter saith unto him, Of
strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest
we should offend them, 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 piece
of money : that take, and give unto them for me and thee. "
11898 "he saw : and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire
round about Elisha. 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. 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. But he led them to Samaria. � 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. And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My
father, shall I smite them ? shall I smite them ? 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. And he prepared great provision for them : and when they
had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands
of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. "
20419 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth : his word runneth very swiftly.
He giveth snow like wool : he scattereth the hoar frost like ashes. He casteth
forth his ice like morsels : who can stand before his cold ? He sendeth out his
word, and melteth them : he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. He
showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath
not dealt so with any nation : and as for his judgments, they have not known them.
Praise ye the Lord.
19444 "He sent darkness, and made it dark ; and they rebelled not against his
word. He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. Their land brought
forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. He spake, and there came
divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. He gave them hail for rain,
and flaming fire in their land. He smote their vines also and their fig trees ; and
brake the trees of their coasts. He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars,
and that without number, and did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured
the fruit of their ground. He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the
chief of all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver and gold : and
there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they
departed : for the fear of them fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering ;
and fire to give light in the night. The people asked, and he brought quails, and
satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed
out ; they ran in the dry places like a river. For he remembered his holy promise,
and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen
with gladness : and gave them the lands of the heathen : and they inherited the
labor of the people ; that they might observe his statutes, "
19143 "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him : I will be with him in trouble
; I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show
him my salvation. "
19642 He shall drink of the brook in the way : therefore shall he lift up the head.
29319 "He shall give his angels charge concerning thee : and in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus
said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again,
the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the
kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them ; and saith unto him, All these things
will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 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. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came
and ministered unto him. "
33910 He shall glorify me : for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto
you. All things that the Father hath are mine : therefore said I, that he shall
take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
6758 "He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him : he shall be the
head, and thou shalt be the tail. Moreover 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. And they shall be upon thee for a sign and
for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. � Because thou servedst not the Lord thy
God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things ;
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. The Lord
shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as
the eagle flieth ; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand ; a nation of
fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to
the young : and he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land,
until thou be destroyed : which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or
oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed
thee. 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. 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 distress thee : so that the man that is
tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and
toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall
leave : "
16383 "He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down :
according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice
therein. Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor ; because he hath
violently taken away a house which he builded not. Surely he shall not feel
quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. There shall
none of his meat be left ; therefore shall no man look for his goods. In the
fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits : every hand of the wicked shall
come upon him. When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his
wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating. He shall flee from
the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through. It is drawn, and
cometh out of the body ; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall : terrors
are upon him. All darkness shall be hid in his secret places : a fire not blown
shall consume him ; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle. The
heaven shall reveal his iniquity ; and the earth shall rise up against him. The
increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his
wrath. This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed
unto him by God. "
18611 "he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the
oppressor. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all
generations. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass : as showers that
water the earth. In his days shall the righteous flourish ; and abundance of peace
so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from
the river unto the ends of the earth. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow
before him ; and his enemies shall lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the
isles shall bring presents : the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea,
all kings shall fall down before him : all nations shall serve him. For he shall
deliver the needy when he crieth ; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. He
shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall
redeem their soul from deceit and violence : and precious shall their blood be in
his sight. And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba :
prayer also shall be made for him continually ; and daily shall he be praised.
There shall be a handful 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. His name shall endure for ever : his name shall be continued as
long as the sun : and men shall be blessed in him : all nations shall call him
blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, "
27709 "he shall set forth a great multitude ; but the multitude shall be given into
his hand. And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up ;
and he shall cast down many ten thousands : but he shall not be strengthened by it.
For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater
than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and
with much riches. � And in those times there shall many stand up against the king
of the south : also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish
the vision ; but they shall fall. So the king of the north shall come, and cast up
a mount, and take the most fenced cities : and the arms of the south shall not
withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to
withstand. But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and
none shall stand before him : and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his
hand shall be consumed. He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of
his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him ; thus shall he do : and he shall give
him the daughter of women, corrupting her : but she shall not stand on his side,
neither be for him. After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall
take many : but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him
to cease ; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him. Then he
shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land : but he shall stumble and
fall, and not be found. � Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in
the glory of the kingdom : but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in
anger, nor in battle. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they
shall not give the honor of the kingdom : but he shall come in peaceably, and
obtain the kingdom by flatteries. "
24416 "he shall smite them with the edge of the sword ; he shall not spare them,
neither have pity, nor have mercy. � 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. He
that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the
pestilence : but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you,
he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey. For I have set my face
against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord : it shall be given
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire. � And
touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the Lord ; O
house of David, thus saith the Lord ; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver
him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like
fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Behold,
I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the
Lord ; which say, Who shall come down against us ? or who shall enter into our
habitations ? But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith
the Lord : and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all
things round about it. "
21416 "He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
it shall be counted a curse to him. A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a
contentious woman are alike. Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment
of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. Iron sharpeneth iron ; so a man
sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the
fruit thereof : so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored. As in water face
answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. Hell and destruction are never
full ; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. As the fining pot for silver, and
the furnace for gold ; so is a man to his praise. Though thou shouldest bray a fool
in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from
him. Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds :
for riches are not for ever : and doth the crown endure to every generation ? The
hay appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are
gathered. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
And thou shalt have goats� milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household,
and for the maintenance for thy maidens. "
38801 "He that committeth sin is of the devil ; for the devil sinneth from the
beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy
the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin ; for his seed
remaineth in him : and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 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. "
28602 "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. For the Lord hath
turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel : for the emptiers
have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches. � The shield of his mighty
men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet : the chariots shall be with
flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly
shaken. The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against
another in the broad ways : they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the
lightnings. He shall recount his worthies : they shall stumble in their walk ; they
shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defense shall be prepared. "
19127 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress :
my God ; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the
fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and
under his wings shalt thou trust : his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou
shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ; nor for the arrow that flieth by
day ; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness ; nor for the destruction
that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand ; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou
behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is
my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation ; there shall no evil befall thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels
charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their
hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and
adder : the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 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. "
31127 He That Is Not against Us Is for Us
32165 He That Is Not against Us Is for Us
6559 "He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall
not enter into the congregation of the Lord. � A bastard shall not enter into the
congregation of the Lord ; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the
congregation of the Lord. � An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the
congregation of the Lord ; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into
the congregation of the Lord for ever : 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 of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
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.
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. � 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. The children that are begotten
of them shall enter into the congregation of the Lord in their third generation. "
21118 "he that keepeth understanding shall find good. A false witness shall not be
unpunished ; and he that speaketh lies shall perish. Delight is not seemly for a
fool ; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. The discretion of a man
deferreth his anger ; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. The king�s
wrath is as the roaring of a lion ; but his favor is as dew upon the grass. A
foolish son is the calamity of his father : and the contentions of a wife are a
continual dropping. House and riches are the inheritance of fathers : and a prudent
wife is from the Lord. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep ; and an idle soul
shall suffer hunger. He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul ; but he
that despiseth his ways shall die. He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the
Lord ; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. Chasten thy son while
there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. A man of great wrath
shall suffer punishment : for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again. Hear
counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There
are many devices in a man�s heart ; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that
shall stand. The desire of a man is his kindness : and a poor man is better than a
liar. The fear of the Lord tendeth to life : and he that hath it shall abide
satisfied ; he shall not be visited with evil. A slothful man hideth his hand in
his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. Smite a scorner, "
39278 "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity : he that killeth
with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of
the saints. � And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth ; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of
the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders,
so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had
power to do in the sight of the beast ; saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and
did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image
of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads : and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast : for it is the number of a man ; and
his number is Six hundred threescore and six. "
10581 "He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he
shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without
clouds ; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after
rain. Although my house be not so with God ; yet he hath made with me an
everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure : for this is all my
salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. But the sons of
Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken
with hands : but the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the
staff of a spear ; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place. "
36893 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among
you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ?
27100 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed. He measured it by the four sides : it had a wall round about, five
hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the
sanctuary and the profane place.
14326 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 smote Joram. And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds
which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And
Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab
at Jezreel, because he was sick.
19714 "he will bless us ; he will bless the house of Israel ; he will bless the
house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great. The
Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the
Lord which made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord�s :
but the earth hath he given to the children of men. The dead praise not the Lord,
neither any that go down into silence. But we will bless the Lord from this time
forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord. "
21452 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be
destroyed, and that without remedy.
17143 "Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness : thou hast enlarged me when
I was in distress ; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. O ye sons of men, how
long will ye turn my glory into shame ? How long will ye love vanity, and seek
after leasing ? Selah. But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for
himself : the Lord will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not : "
18351 "Hear my cry, O God ; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I
cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher
than I ; for thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I
will abide in thy tabernacle for ever : I will trust in the covert of thy wings.
Selah. For thou, O God, hast heard my vows : thou hast given me the heritage of
those that fear thy name. Thou wilt prolong the king�s life : and his years as many
generations. He shall abide before God for ever : O prepare mercy and truth, which
may preserve him. So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily
perform my vows. "
19303 "Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee. Hide not thy face
from me in the day when I am in trouble ; incline thine ear unto me : in the day
when I call answer me speedily. For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones
are burned as a hearth. My heart is smitten, and withered like grass ; so that I
forget to eat my bread. By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my
skin. I am like a pelican of the wilderness : I am like an owl of the desert. I
watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop. Mine enemies reproach me all
the day ; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. "
20323 "Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications : in thy faithfulness
answer me, and in thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment with thy servant :
for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. For the enemy hath persecuted
my soul ; he hath smitten my life down to the ground ; he hath made me to dwell in
darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed
within me ; my heart within me is desolate. I remember the days of old ; I meditate
on all thy works ; I muse on the work of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto
thee : my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. Hear me speedily, O
Lord ; my spirit faileth : hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that
go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness 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. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies : I flee unto thee to hide
me. Teach me to do thy will ; "
18399 "Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer : preserve my life from fear of the
enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked ; from the insurrection of the
workers of iniquity : who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to
shoot their arrows, even bitter words : that they may shoot in secret at the
perfect : suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They encourage themselves in
an evil matter : they commune of laying snares privily ; they say, Who shall see
them ? They search out iniquities ; they accomplish a diligent search : both the
inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. But God shall shoot at
them with an arrow ; suddenly shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own
tongue to fall upon themselves : all that see them shall flee away. And all men
shall fear, and shall declare the work of God ; for they shall wisely consider of
his doing. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, "
17351 "Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry ; give ear unto my prayer, that
goeth not out of feigned lips. Let my sentence come forth from thy presence ; let
thine eyes behold the things that are equal. Thou hast proved mine heart ; "
27819 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. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and
stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
28175 Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel,
against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You
only have I known of all the families of the earth : therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities. � Can two walk together, except they be agreed ? 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 ? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no
gin is for him ? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing
at all ? Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid ? shall
there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it ? Surely the Lord God will
do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion
hath roared, who will not fear ? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy ?
28192 "Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria,
which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring,
and let us drink. The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall
come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with
fishhooks. And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before
her ; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the Lord. "
18098 "Hear this, all ye people ; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world : both
low and high, rich and poor, together. My mouth shall speak of wisdom ; and the
meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. I will incline mine ear to a
parable : I will open my dark saying upon the harp. Wherefore should I fear in the
days of evil, "
28522 "Hear ye now what the Lord saith ; Arise, contend thou before the mountains,
and let the hills hear thy voice. Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord�s controversy, and
ye strong foundations of the earth : for the Lord hath a controversy with his
people, and he will plead with Israel. � O my people, what have I done unto thee ?
and wherein have I wearied thee ? testify against me. For I brought thee up out of
the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants ; and I sent
before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. "
24082 "Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel : thus
saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs
of heaven ; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are
vain : for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold ; they fasten it with
nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but
speak not : they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them
; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. � Forasmuch as
there is none like unto thee, O Lord ; thou art great, and thy name is great in
might. "
28209 "Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house
of Israel. The virgin of Israel is fallen ; she shall no more rise : she is
forsaken upon her land ; there is none to raise her up. For thus saith the Lord God
; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that which went
forth by a hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel. "
23304 "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. For they
call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel : The
Lord of hosts is his name. � I have declared the former things from the beginning ;
and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them ; I did them suddenly, and
they came to pass. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron
sinew, and thy brow brass ; "
27845 "Hear ye this, O priests ; and hearken, ye house of Israel ; and give ye ear,
O house of the king ; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on
Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. And the revolters are profound to make
slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. � I know Ephraim, and Israel
is not hid from me : for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is
defiled. They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God : for the spirit
of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord. � And the
pride of Israel doth testify to his face : therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall
in their iniquity ; Judah also shall fall with them. 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. They have dealt treacherously against the Lord ;
for they have begotten strange children : now shall a month devour them with their
portions. "
17086 "Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak : I will demand of thee, and declare
thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear ; but now mine eye
seeth thee : wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. � And it was
so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz
the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends : for
ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. Therefore
take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and
offer up for yourselves a burnt offering ; and my servant Job shall pray for you :
for him will I accept : lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not
spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job. So Eliphaz the Temanite
and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the
Lord commanded them : the Lord also accepted Job. "
6106 "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, a
people great and tall, the children of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom
thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak ! Understand
therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee ; as a
consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy
face : so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath
said unto thee. � Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord thy God hath
cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought
me in to possess this land : but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth
drive them out from before thee. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness
of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land : but for the wickedness of
these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he
may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob. "
20582 "Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know
understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. For I was my
father�s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also,
and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words : keep my commandments, and live.
Get wisdom, get understanding : forget it not ; neither decline from the words of
my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee : love her, and she shall
keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing ; therefore get wisdom : and with all thy
getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee : she shall bring
thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament
of grace : a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. Hear, O my son, and receive
my sayings ; and the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way
of wisdom ; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be
straitened ; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of
instruction ; let her not go : keep her ; for she is thy life. Enter not into the
path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. "

should this city be laid waste ? 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. 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 remain in this city, 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 ; yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of
the king of Judah and of Jerusalem ; 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

him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For the Lord shall comfort Zion : he
will comfort all her waste places ; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and
her desert like the garden of the Lord ; joy and gladness shall be found therein,
thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. � Hearken unto me, my people ; and give ear
unto me, O my nation : for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment
to rest for a light of the people. My righteousness is near ; my salvation is gone
forth, and mine arms shall judge the people ; the isles shall wait upon me, and on
mine arm shall they trust. 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. �
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 afraid of their revilings. "
26305 "hearken unto me : but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and
with your idols. � 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 in the
land, serve me : there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings,
and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things. I will accept you
with your sweet savor, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of
the countries wherein ye have been scattered ; and I will be sanctified in you
before the heathen. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall bring you
into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to
give it to your fathers. And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your
doings, wherein ye have been defiled ; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own
sight for all your evils that ye have committed. And ye shall know that I am the

the children of men. They speak vanity every one with his neighbor : with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The Lord shall cut off all
flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things : who have said, With
our tongue will we prevail ; our lips are our own : who is lord over us ? For the
oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the
Lord ; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. The words of the Lord

thine anointed. Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant : thou hast
profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. Thou hast broken down all his
hedges ; thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. All that pass by the way spoil
him : he is a reproach to his neighbors. Thou hast set up the right hand of his

regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to
the Lord, for he giveth God thanks ; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth

and living. � But why dost thou judge thy brother ? or why dost thou set at nought
thy brother ? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is
written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue
shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to
God. "

Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the
ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it
was, (but the servants which drew the water knew,) the governor of the feast called
the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good
wine ; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse : but thou hast kept

thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. Thy navel
is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor : thy belly is like a heap of
wheat set about with lilies. Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are
twins. Thy neck is as a tower of ivory ; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon,
by the gate of Bath-rabbim : thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh
toward Damascus. Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head
like purple ; the King is held in the galleries. How fair and how pleasant art
thou, O love, for delights ! This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy
breasts to clusters of grapes. "
25534 "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 ! 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. 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
between the straits. The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn
feasts : all her gates are desolate : her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted,
and she is in bitterness. Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper ; for
the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions : her children
are gone into captivity before the enemy. And from the daughter of Zion all her
beauty is departed : her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, "
5247 "How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel ! As the
valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river�s side, as the trees of
lignaloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. He
shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and
his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. God brought
him forth out of Egypt ; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn : he shall
eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them
through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion :
who shall stir him up ? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that
curseth thee. "
25564 "How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger,
and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not
his footstool in the day of his anger ! The Lord hath swallowed up all the
habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied : he hath thrown down in his wrath the
strongholds of the daughter of Judah ; he hath brought them down to the ground : he
hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof. He hath cut off in his fierce
anger all the horn of Israel : he hath drawn back his right hand from before the
enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round
about. He hath bent his bow like an enemy : he stood with his right hand as an
adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the
daughter of Zion : he poured out his fury like fire. The Lord was as an enemy : he
hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces : "
25656 "How is the gold become dim ! How is the most fine gold changed ! The stones
of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street. The precious sons of
Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work
of the hands of the potter ! Even the sea monsters 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. 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. They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets : they that were
brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. For the punishment of the iniquity of the
daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was
overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her. Her Nazarites were purer
than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies,
their polishing was of sapphire : 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. They that be slain with the sword are better than they that
be slain with hunger : "
17301 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord ? for ever ?
17312 "How long wilt thou hide thy face from me ? How long shall I take counsel in
my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily ? How long shall mine enemy be exalted
over me ? Consider and hear me, O Lord my God : lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the
sleep of death ; lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him ; and those that
trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in thy mercy ; my heart
shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt
bountifully with me. "
18848 "How long, Lord ? Wilt thou be angry for ever ? Shall thy jealousy burn like
fire ? Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the
kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. For they have devoured Jacob, and laid
waste his dwelling place. O remember not against us former iniquities : let thy
tender mercies speedily prevent us ; for we are brought very low. 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. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God ? Let him
be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy
servants which is shed. Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee ;
according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to
die ; and render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach,
wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. So we thy people and sheep of thy
pasture will give thee thanks for ever : we will show forth thy praise to all
generations. "
16417 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out ! And how oft cometh their
destruction upon them ! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. They are as stubble
before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. God layeth up his
iniquity for his children : he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. His eyes shall
see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. For what
pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off
in the midst ? Shall any teach God knowledge ? seeing he judgeth those that are
high. One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. His breasts
are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. And another dieth in the
bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. They shall lie down alike
in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. Behold, I know your thoughts, and the
devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. For ye say, Where is the house of
the prince ? And where are the dwelling places of the wicked ? Have ye not asked
them that go by the way ? And do ye not know their tokens, that the wicked is
reserved to the day of destruction ? They shall be brought forth to the day of
wrath. Who shall declare his way to his face ? And who shall repay him what he hath
done ? Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. The
clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him,
36788 "how that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which
it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such a one will I glory : yet of myself I
will not glory, but in mine infirmities. For though I would desire to glory, I
shall not be a fool ; for I will say the truth : but now I forbear, lest any man
should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the
revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to
buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the
Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is
sufficient for thee : for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest
upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,
in persecutions, in distresses for Christ�s sake : for when I am weak, then am I
strong. � I am become a fool in glorying ; ye have compelled me : for I ought to
have been commended of you : for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles,
though I be nothing. Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all
patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. For what is it wherein ye were
inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you ?
forgive me this wrong. "
34968 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed : among the which was
Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
12353 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. � So
these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images, both their children,
and their children�s children : as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
14671 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.
28743 "Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down ;
all they that bear silver are cut off. And it shall come to pass at that time, that
I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their
lees : that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.
Therefore, their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation : they
shall also build houses, but not inhabit them ; and they shall plant vineyards, but
not drink the wine thereof. � The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and
hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord : the mighty man shall cry
there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of
wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and
thick darkness, a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and
against the high towers. � And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk
like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord : and their blood shall
be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their
gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord�s wrath ; but the whole
land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy : for he shall make even a
speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land. "
6631 "husband�s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he
will not perform the duty of my husband�s brother. Then the elders of his city
shall call him, and speak unto him : and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to
take her ; 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 shall
answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his
brother�s house. And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath
his shoe loosed. � 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 : then thou shalt
cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her. � Thou shalt not have in thy bag
divers weights, a great and a small : thou shalt not have in thine house divers
measures, a great and a small : but thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a
perfect and just measure shalt thou have : that thy days may be lengthened in the
land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. For all that do such things, and all that
do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the Lord thy God. "
16767 "I also am formed out of the clay. Behold, my terror shall not make thee
afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. Surely thou hast spoken in mine
hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, I am clean without
transgression, I am innocent ; neither is there iniquity in me. Behold, he findeth
occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy ; he putteth my feet in the
stocks, he marketh all my paths. Behold, in this thou art not just : I will answer
thee, that God is greater than man. Why dost thou strive against him ? for he
giveth not account of any of his matters. For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man
perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth
upon men, in slumberings upon the bed ; then he openeth the ears of men, and
sealeth their instruction, that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide
pride from man. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing
by the sword. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his
bones with strong pain : so that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty
meat. His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen ; and his bones that were
not seen stick out. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the
destroyers. If there be a messenger with him, "
21949 "I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse : I have gathered my myrrh
with my spice ; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey ; I have drunk my wine with
my milk. Eat, O friends ; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. "
978 "I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which
thou hast showed unto thy servant ; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan ;
and now I am become two bands. Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my
brother, from the hand of Esau : for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me,
and the mother with the children. 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. � And
he lodged there that same night ; and took of that which came to his hand a present
for Esau his brother ; two hundred she goats and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes
and twenty rams, thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine and ten bulls,
twenty she asses and ten foals. And he delivered them into the hand of his
servants, every drove by themselves ; and said unto his servants, Pass over before
me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove. 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 ? Then thou shalt say, They be
thy servant Jacob�s ; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau : and, behold, also he
is behind us. And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed
the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him. And
say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will
appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his
face ; peradventure he will accept of me. So went the present over before him ; and
himself lodged that night in the company. "
23694 "I am sought of 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. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which
walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts ; a people that
provoketh me to anger continually to my face ; that sacrificeth in gardens, and
burneth incense upon altars of brick ; which remain among the graves, and lodge in
the monuments ; which eat swine�s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their
vessels ; "
18899 "I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt : open
thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. But my people would not hearken to my voice ;
and Israel would none of me. So I gave them up unto their own hearts� lust : and
they walked in their own counsels. Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and
Israel had walked in my ways ! I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned
my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the Lord should have submitted
themselves unto him : but their time should have endured for ever. He should have
fed them also with the finest of the wheat : and with honey out of the rock should
I have satisfied thee. "
25592 "I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He hath led
me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. Surely against me is he
turned ; he turneth his hand against me all the day. My flesh and my skin hath he
made old ; he hath broken my bones. He hath builded against me, and compassed me
with gall and travail. He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out : "
21877 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among
thorns, so is my love among the daughters. 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. He brought me to the banqueting
house, and his banner over me was love. Stay me with flagons,
33863 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that
beareth not fruit he taketh away : and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth
it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I
have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself, except it abide in the vine ; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am
the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit ; for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in
me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered ; and men gather them, and cast
them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in
you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father
glorified, that ye bear much fruit ; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father
hath loved me, so have I loved you : continue ye in my love. 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. These things have I spoken unto you, that my
joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. � This is my commandment,
That ye love one another, as I have loved you. "
35853 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service. And be not conformed to this world : but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will
of God. � For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among
you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think ; but to think
soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we
have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office : so we,
being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having
then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy,
let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith ; or ministry, let us wait on
our ministering ; or he that teacheth, on teaching ; "
23286 "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. "
37844 "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall
judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom ; preach the word ;
be instant in season, out of season ; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-
suffering and doctrine. "
35964 I commend unto you Phoebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which
is at Cenchreae : that ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye
assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you : for she hath been a
succorer of many, and of myself also. � Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in
Christ Jesus : who have for my life laid down their own necks : unto whom not only
I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Likewise greet the church
that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epenetus, who is the firstfruits of
Achaia unto Christ. Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us. Salute Andronicus
and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles,
who also were in Christ before me. Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord. Salute
Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. Salute Apelles approved in
Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus� household. Salute Herodion my
kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
18730 "I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice ; and he gave
ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord : my sore ran in the night,
and ceased not : my soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was
troubled : I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. Thou holdest mine
eyes waking : I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I have considered the days of
old, the years of ancient times. I call to remembrance my song in the night : I
commune with mine own heart : and my spirit made diligent search. Will the Lord
cast off for ever ? And will he be favorable no more ? Is his mercy clean gone for
ever ? Doth his promise fail for evermore ? Hath God forgotten to be gracious ?
Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies ? Selah. And I said, This is my
infirmity : but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. I
will remember the works of the Lord : surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I
will meditate also of all thy work, "
20311 "I cried unto the Lord with my voice ; with my voice unto the Lord did I make
my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him ; I showed before him my
trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In
the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. I looked on my
right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me : refuge failed
me ; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord : I said, Thou art my
refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry ; for I am
brought very low : deliver me from my persecutors ; for they are stronger than I.
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name : the righteous shall
compass me about ; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. "
17139 "I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill.
Selah. I laid me down and slept ; I awaked ; for the Lord sustained me. I will not
be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round
about. Arise, O Lord ; save me, O my God : for thou hast smitten all mine enemies
upon the cheek bone ; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation
belongeth unto the Lord : thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. "
17429 "I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. Thou hast delivered me from
the strivings of the people ; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen : a
people whom I have not known shall serve me. As soon as they hear of me, they shall
obey me : the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. The strangers shall fade
away, and be afraid out of their close places. The Lord liveth ; and blessed be my
Rock ; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. It is God that avengeth me, and
subdueth the people under me. He delivereth me from mine enemies : yea, thou
liftest me up above those that rise up against me : thou hast delivered me from the
violent man. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and
sing praises unto thy name. Great deliverance giveth he to his king ; and showeth
mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. "
37649 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men ; for kings, and for all
that are in authority ; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Saviour ; "
21611 "I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house ; also I
had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem
before me : 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, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts. � So I was great,
and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem : also my wisdom
remained with me. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld
not my heart from any joy ; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor : and this was my
portion of all my labor. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought,
and on the labor that I had labored to do : and, behold, all was vanity and
vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. � And I turned myself to
behold wisdom, and madness, and folly : for what can the man do that cometh after
the king ? even that which hath been already done. Then I saw that wisdom excelleth
folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. The wise man�s eyes are in his head ;
but the fool walketh in darkness : and I myself perceived also that one event
happeneth to them all. Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it
happeneth even to me ; and why was I then more wise ? Then I said in my heart, that
this also is vanity. For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool
for ever ; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And
how dieth the wise man ? as the fool. Therefore I hated life ; because the work
that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me : for all is vanity and vexation
of spirit. � Yea, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun : because I
should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. And who knoweth whether he
shall be a wise man or a fool ? yet shall he have rule over all my labor wherein I
have labored, and "
23227 "I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud,
thy sins : return unto me ; for I have redeemed thee. 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 glorified himself in Israel. � Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, and he that
formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things ; that stretcheth
forth the heavens alone ; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself ; that
frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad ; that turneth wise
men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish ; that confirmeth the word of his
servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers ; that saith to Jerusalem,
Thou shalt be inhabited ; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will
raise up the decayed places thereof : that saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will
dry up thy rivers : that saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all
my pleasure : even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built ; and to the temple,
Thy foundation shall be laid. "
21875 "I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh�s
chariots. Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. While the King sitteth at
his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. A bundle of myrrh is my
well-beloved unto me ; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. My beloved is
unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. Behold, thou art fair,
my love ; behold, thou art fair ; thou hast doves� eyes. Behold, thou art fair, my
beloved, yea, pleasant : also our bed is green. The beams of our house are cedar,
and our rafters of fir. "
23316 "I have even from the beginning declared it to thee ; before it came to pass
I showed it thee : lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them ; and my
graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. � Thou hast heard, see all
this ; and will not ye declare it ? I have showed thee new things from this time,
even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. They are created now, and not
from the beginning ; even before the day when thou heardest them not ; lest thou
shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. Yea, thou heardest not ; yea, thou knewest
not ; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened : for I knew that thou
wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb. �
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. Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver ; I
have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. For mine own sake, even for mine own
sake, will I do it : for how should my name be polluted ? and I will not give my
glory unto another. � Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called ; I am he ; I
am the first, I also am the last. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the
earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens : when I call unto them, they
stand up together. � All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear ; which among them hath
declared these things ? The Lord hath loved him : he will do his pleasure on
Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. I, even I, have spoken ; yea, I
have called him : I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. Come ye
near unto me, hear ye this ; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning ; from
the time that it was, there am I : and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent
me. "
33942 "I have glorified thee on the earth : I have finished the work which thou
gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the
glory which I had with thee before the world was. � I have manifested thy name unto
the men which thou gavest me out of the world : thine they were, and thou gavest
them me ; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things
whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words
which thou gavest me ; and they have received them, and have known surely that I
came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them
: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me ; for they are
thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine ; and I am glorified in them. And
now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy
Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be
one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name : those
that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition
; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee ; and these things
I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have
given them thy word ; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the
world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out
of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the
world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth : thy word is
truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the
world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified
through the truth. "
17592 "I have hated the congregation of evildoers ; and will not sit with the
wicked. I will wash mine hands in innocency : so will I compass thine altar, O Lord
: that I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous
works. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine
honor dwelleth. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men : in
whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. But as for me, I
will walk in mine integrity : redeem me, and be merciful unto me. My foot standeth
in an even place : in the congregations will I bless the Lord. "
25380 "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. The Lord hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of
his indignation : for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the
Chaldeans. 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. Slay all her
bullocks ; let them go down to the slaughter : woe unto them ! for their day is
come, the time of their visitation. 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. � Call together the archers against Babylon : all ye that
bend the bow, camp against it 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. Therefore
shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in
that day, saith the Lord. Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the
Lord God of hosts : for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. And the
most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up : and I will kindle
a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. � Thus saith the
Lord of hosts ; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed
together : and all that took them captives held them fast ; they refused to let
them go. Their Redeemer is strong ; The Lord of hosts is his name : he shall
thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the
inhabitants of Babylon. � A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon
the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men. "
33925 I Have Overcome the World
17938 "I have preached righteousness in the great congregation : lo, I have not
refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest. I have not hid thy righteousness within my
heart ; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation : I have not concealed
thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation. Withhold not thou
thy tender mercies from me, O Lord : let thy loving-kindness and thy truth
continually preserve me. For innumerable evils have compassed me about : mine
iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up ; they are
more than the hairs of mine head : therefore my heart faileth me. Be pleased, O
Lord, to deliver me : O Lord, make haste to help me. Let them be ashamed and
confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it ; let them be driven
backward and put to shame that wish me evil. Let them be desolate for a reward of
their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be
glad in thee : let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be
magnified. 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. "
18665 I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
18917 "I have said, Ye are gods ; and all of you are children of the Most High.
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge
the earth : for thou shalt inherit all nations. "
34782 I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth. � And when the Gentiles heard this, they
were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord : and as many as were ordained to
eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the
region. But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men
of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them
out of their coasts. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and
came unto Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
24750 "I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus ; Thou hast chastised me,
and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke : turn thou me, and I
shall be turned ; for thou art the Lord my God. 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. Is Ephraim my
dear son ? is he a pleasant child ? for since I spake 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. � Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps : set
thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest : turn again, O
virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities. How long wilt thou go about, O
thou backsliding daughter ? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A
woman shall compass a man. � Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, As
yet they shall 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,
and mountain of holiness. And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the
cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. For I have
satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. Upon this I
awaked, and beheld ; and my sleep was sweet unto me. "
35945 "I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things
which pertain to God. For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which
Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God ; so that from
Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of
Christ. Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named,
lest I should build upon another man�s foundation : but as it is written, To whom
he was not spoken of, they shall see : and they that have not heard shall
understand. "
23660 "I have trodden the winepress alone ; and of the people there was none with
me : for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury ; and their
blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For
the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 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. And
I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I
will bring down their strength to the earth. "
13704 "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. O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our
fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy
people, and prepare their heart unto thee : 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. � And
David said to all the congregation, Now bless the Lord your God. And all the
congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and
worshipped the Lord, and the king. 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 : 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 the chief
governor, and Zadok to be priest. Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as
king instead of David his father, and prospered ; and all Israel obeyed him. And
all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David,
submitted themselves unto Solomon the king. 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. "
28880 "I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring
line in his hand. 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. And,
behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to
meet him, and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall
be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein :
For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the
glory in the midst of her. � Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the
north, saith the Lord : for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the
heaven, saith the Lord. Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of
Babylon. For thus saith the Lord of hosts ; After the glory hath he sent me unto
the nations which spoiled you : for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his
eye. For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to
their servants : and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me. Sing and
rejoice, O daughter of Zion : for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of
thee, saith the Lord. And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and
shall be my people : and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know
that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee. "
19717 "I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as
I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me :
I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the Lord ; O Lord, I
beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous ; yea, our God
is merciful. The Lord preserveth the simple : I was brought low, and he helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul ; "
16679 "I made a covenant with mine eyes ; why then should I think upon a maid ? For
what portion of God is there from above ? and what inheritance of the Almighty from
on high ? Is not destruction to the wicked ? and a strange punishment to the
workers of iniquity ? Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps ? If I have
walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit ; let me be weighed in an
even balance, that God may know mine integrity. If my step hath turned out of the
way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine
hands ; then let me sow, and let another eat ; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my
neighbor�s door ; then let my wife grind unto another, "
29487 I Never Knew You
10160 "I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat
in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand. So Amnon lay down, and made
himself sick : and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I
pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight,
that I may eat at her hand. � Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy
brother Amnon�s house, and dress him meat. So Tamar went to her brother Amnon�s
house ; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in
his sight, and did bake the cakes. And she took a 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. And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat 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. And when she had brought
them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my
sister. 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. And I, whither shall I cause
my shame to go ? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now
therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king ; for he will not withhold me from
thee. Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice : but, being stronger than she,
forced her, and lay with her. � Then Amnon hated her exceedingly ; so that the
hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her.
And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. And she said unto him, There is no cause :
this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But
he would not hearken unto her. Then he called his servant that ministered unto him,
and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. "
21598 "I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth ; therefore
enjoy pleasure : and, behold, this also is vanity. I said of laughter, It is mad :
and of mirth, What doeth it ? I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet
acquainting mine heart with wisdom ; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see
what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all
the days of their life. I made me great works ; I builded me houses ; I planted me
vineyards : I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind
of fruits : I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth
forth trees : "
22000 "I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs
thereof : now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of
thy nose like apples ; and the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved,
that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. I am
my beloved�s, and his desire is toward me. Come, my beloved, let us go forth into
the field ; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards ;
let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the
pomegranates bud forth : there will I give thee my loves. The mandrakes give a
smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I
have laid up for thee, O my beloved. "
17896 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue :
27448 "I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the
visions of my head troubled me. 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. Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the
soothsayers : and I told the dream before them ; but they did not make known unto
me the interpretation thereof. 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 before him I told the dream, saying, 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. Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed ; I saw, and
behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. The tree
grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight
thereof to the end of all the earth : 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 boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed
of it. � I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a
holy one came down from heaven ; 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 : 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 : 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. "
28303 "I saw the Lord standing upon the altar : and he said, Smite the lintel of
the door, that the posts may shake : and cut them in the head, all of them ; and I
will slay the last of them with the sword : he that "
35743 "I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness
in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen
according to the flesh : who are Israelites ; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and
the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God,
and the promises ; whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh
Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. � Not as though the word
of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel :
neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children : but, In
Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh,
these are not the children of God : but the children of the promise are counted for
the seed. For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah
shall have a son. And not only this ; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one,
even by our father Isaac, "
35806 "I say then, Hath God cast away his people ? God forbid. For I also am an
Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast
away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the Scripture saith of Elijah ?
how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed
thy prophets, and digged down thine altars ; and I am left alone, and they seek my
life. But what saith the answer of God unto him ? I have reserved to myself seven
thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at
this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And
if by grace, then is it no more of works : otherwise grace is no more grace. But if
it be of works, then is it no more grace : otherwise work is no more work. "
21951 "I sleep, but my heart waketh : it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh,
saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled : for my head is
filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. I have put off my coat ;
how shall I put it on ? I have washed my feet ; how shall I defile them ? My
beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
I rose up to open to my beloved ; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers
with sweet smelling myrrh, "
22694 "I the Lord do keep it ; I will water it every moment : lest any hurt it, I
will keep it night and day. Fury is not in me : who would set the briers and thorns
against me in battle ? I would go through them, I would burn them together. Or let
him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me ; and he shall make
peace with me. � He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root : Israel shall
blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. Hath he smitten him, as
he smote those that smote him ? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them
that are slain by him ? In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with
it : he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall
the iniquity of Jacob be purged ; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin ;
when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in
sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Yet the defensed city shall be
desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness : there shall the
calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. When the
boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off : the women come, and set
them on fire ; for it is a people of no understanding : therefore he that made them
will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favor. � And
it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of
the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye
children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet
shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of
Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the
holy mount at Jerusalem. "
37097 "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of
the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with long-
suffering, forbearing one another in love ; endeavoring to keep the unity of the
Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling ; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and
Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every
one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore
he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts
unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into
the lower parts of the earth ? He that descended is the same also that ascended up
far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles ;
and some, prophets ; and some, evangelists ; and some, pastors and teachers ; for
the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ : till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge
of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the
fulness of Christ : "
17928 "I waited patiently for the Lord ; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my goings. 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. Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the
proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works
which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward : they cannot be
reckoned up in order unto thee : if I would declare and speak of them, they are
more than can be numbered. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire ; mine ears
hast thou opened : burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then
said I, Lo, I come : in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do
thy will, O my God : yea, thy law is within my heart. "
20010 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Our
feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that
is compact together : whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the
testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. For there are set
thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem : they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and
prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions� sakes, I will now
say, Peace be within thee.
17188 "I water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is consumed because of grief ; it
waxeth old because of all mine enemies. Depart from me, all ye workers of
iniquity ; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord hath heard my
supplication ; the Lord will receive my prayer. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and
sore vexed : let them return and be ashamed suddenly. "
22151 "I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 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. "
17735 I will bless the Lord at all times : his praise shall continually be in my
mouth.
23532 "I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works ; for they shall not profit
thee. When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee ; but the wind shall carry
them all away ; vanity shall take them : but he that putteth his trust in me shall
possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain. � And shall say, Cast ye up,
cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my
people. 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. 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. For
the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him : I hid me, and was
wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, and
will heal him : I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his
mourners. 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. But the wicked are like
the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is
no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. "
20355 "I will extol thee, my God, O King ; and I will bless thy name for ever and
ever. Every day will I bless thee ; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised ; and his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty
acts. "
17654 "I will extol thee, O Lord ; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my
foes to rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave : thou hast kept me alive, that
I should not go down to the pit. Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give
thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment ; in
his favor is life : weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. Lord, by thy favor thou hast
made my mountain to stand strong : thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. I
cried to thee, O Lord ; and unto the Lord I made supplication. What profit is there
in my blood, when I go down to the pit ? Shall the dust praise thee ? Shall it
declare thy truth ? Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me : Lord, be thou my helper.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing : thou hast put off my sackcloth,
and girded me with gladness ; 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. "
17910 "I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. I was
dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good ; and my sorrow was stirred. My
heart was hot within me ; while I was musing the fire burned : then spake I with my
tongue, Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is ;
that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth ;
and mine age is as nothing before thee : verily every man at his best state is
altogether vanity. Selah. Surely every man walketh in a vain show : surely they are
disquieted in vain : he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
And now, Lord, what wait I for ? My hope is in thee. Deliver me from all my
transgressions : make me not the reproach of the foolish. I was dumb, I opened not
my mouth ; because thou didst it. Remove thy stroke away from me : I am consumed by
the blow of thine hand. 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.
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, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me,
that I may recover strength, "
19994 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help
cometh from the Lord,
17382 "I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer ; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust ; my buckler, and the
horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy
to be praised : so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death
compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell
compassed me about : the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon
the Lord, and cried unto my God : he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry
came before him, even into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled ; the
foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. There
went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured : coals
were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down : and darkness was
under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly : yea, he did fly upon the
wings of the wind. He made darkness his secret place ; "
26830 "I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return :
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. � Because thou hast said, These two nations
and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it ; whereas the Lord
was there : therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to
thine anger, and according to thine envy, which thou hast used out of thy hatred
against them ; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies
which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid
desolate, they are given us to consume. Thus with your mouth ye have boasted
against me, and have multiplied your words against me : I have heard them. Thus
saith the Lord God ; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. As
thou didst rejoice at 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
Idumea, even all of it : and they shall know that I am the Lord. "
890 "I will pass through all thy flock today, removing from thence all the
speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the
spotted and speckled among the goats : and of such shall be my hire. So shall my
righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before
thy face : every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown
among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me. And Laban said, Behold, I
would it might be according to thy word. And he removed that day the he goats that
were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and
spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the
sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons. And he set three days� journey
betwixt himself and Jacob : and Jacob fed the rest of Laban�s flocks. � And Jacob
took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree ; and pilled
white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. And he set
the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering
troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to
drink. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-
streaked, speckled, and spotted. And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the
faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of
Laban ; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban�s
cattle. And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that
Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might
conceive among the rods. But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in : so
the feebler were Laban�s, and the stronger Jacob�s. And the man increased
exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels,
and asses. "
20233 I will praise thee with my whole heart : before the gods will I sing praise
unto thee. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy
loving-kindness and for thy truth : for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy
name. In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with
strength in my soul. All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when
they hear the words of thy mouth. Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord :
for great is the glory of the Lord. Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect
unto the lowly : but the proud he knoweth afar off. 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. The Lord will perfect that
which concerneth me : thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever : forsake not the works
of thine own hands.
17227 "I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart ; I will show forth all thy
marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee : I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou Most High. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and
perish at thy presence. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause ; thou
satest in the throne judging right. Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast
destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. O thou enemy,
destructions are come to a perpetual end : and thou hast destroyed cities ; "
24347 "I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy ; I will show them
the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. "
26800 "I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away,
and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick :
but I will destroy the fat and the strong ; I will feed them with judgment. � And
as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I judge between cattle
and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. Seemeth it a small thing unto you to
have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue
of your pastures ? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the
residue with your feet ? And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden
with your feet ; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet. �
Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them ; Behold, I, even I, will judge between
the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. Because ye have thrust with side and
with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered
them abroad ; therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey ;
and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 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. And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a
prince among them ; I the Lord have spoken it. � And I will make with them a
covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land : and
they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make
them and the places round about my hill a blessing ; and I will cause the shower to
come down in his season ; there shall be showers of blessing. And the tree of the
field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall
be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the
bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served
themselves of them. "
20351 "I will sing a new song unto thee, O God : upon a psaltery and an instrument
of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. It is he that giveth salvation unto
kings : who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. Rid me, and
deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and
their right hand is a right hand of falsehood : that our sons may be as plants
grown up in their youth ; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished
after the similitude of a palace : that our garners may be full, affording all
manner of store ; that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our
streets : that our oxen may be strong to labor ; that there be no breaking in, nor
going out ; that there be no complaining in our streets. Happy is that people, that
is in such a case : yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord. "
19289 "I will sing of mercy and judgment : unto thee, O Lord, will I sing. I will
behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me ? I will walk
within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes :
I hate the work of them that turn aside ; it shall not cleave to me. A froward
heart shall depart from me : I will not know a wicked person. "
19042 "I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever : with my mouth will I make
known thy faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up
for ever : thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. I have made a
covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I
establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. And the
heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord : thy faithfulness also in the
congregation of the saints. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord ?
Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord ? God is greatly to
be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them
that are about him. O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee ? or
to thy faithfulness round about thee ? Thou rulest the raging of the sea : when the
waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one
that is slain ; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. The heavens
are thine, the earth also is thine : "
19407 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live : I will sing praise to my God
while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet : I will be glad in the
Lord. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more.
Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.
20368 "I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous
works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts : and I will declare
thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and
shall sing of thy righteousness. The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion ;
slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all : and his tender mercies
are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord ; and thy saints
shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy
power ; to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty
of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth
throughout all generations. The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all
those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee ; and thou givest them
their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of
every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his
works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him
in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him : he also will hear their
cry, and will save them. The Lord preserveth all them that love him : but all the
wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord : and let all
flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. "
19841 "I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. My hands also
will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved ; and I will meditate in
thy statutes. zain Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused
me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction : for thy word hath quickened me.
The proud have had me greatly in derision : yet have I not declined from thy law. I
remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord ; and have comforted myself. Horror hath
taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. Thy statutes have
been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in
the night, and have kept thy law. This I had, because I kept thy precepts. cheth
Thou art my portion, O Lord : I have said that I would keep thy words. I entreated
thy favor with my whole heart : be merciful unto me according to thy word. I
thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and
delayed not to keep thy commandments. The bands of the wicked have robbed me : but
I have not forgotten thy law. "
28669 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see
what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord
answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may
run that readeth it.

2423 "If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it ; he shall
restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. � If a thief be found
breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. If
the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him ; for he should make
full restitution : if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. If the
theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep ; he
shall restore double. � If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and
shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man�s field ; of the best of his
own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution. � If
fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing
corn, or the field, be consumed therewith ; he that kindled the fire shall surely
make restitution. � If a man shall deliver unto his neighbor money or stuff to
keep, and it be stolen out of the man�s house ; if the thief be found, let him pay
double. "
3352 "If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things
of the Lord ; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a ram without
blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the
shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering : and he shall make amends for the
harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and
give it unto the priest : and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the
ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. � And if a soul sin,
and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments
of the Lord ; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for
a trespass offering, unto the priest : and the priest shall make an atonement for
him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be
forgiven him. It is a trespass offering : he hath certainly trespassed against the
Lord. "
37747 "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the
words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness
; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words,
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men
of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness :
from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we
brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And
having food and raiment, let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich
fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which
drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all
evil : which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows. "
2404 "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. � And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and
he die under his hand ; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he
continue a day or two, he shall not be punished : for he is his money. � If men
strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no
mischief follow : he shall be surely punished, according as the woman�s husband
will lay upon him ; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief
follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for

daughters ; the wife and her children shall be her master�s, and he shall go out by
himself. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my
children ; I will not go out free : then his master shall bring him unto the judges
; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the doorpost ; and his master shall
bore his ear through with an awl ; and he shall serve him for ever. � And if a man
sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let
her be redeemed : to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing
he hath dealt deceitfully with her. And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he
shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. If he take him another wife, her
food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. And if he do
not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money. "

that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts : 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. Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land
; so that I cut off man and beast from it : 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. 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 : 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. � 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 beast,
and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast ? Yet, behold, therein shall
be left a remnant that shall be brought 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. And they shall comfort you, when ye see
their ways and their doings : and ye shall know that I have not done without cause
all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God. "
18145 "If I were hungry, I would not tell thee : for the world is mine, and the
fulness thereof. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats ? Offer
unto God thanksgiving ; and pay thy vows unto the Most High : and call upon me in
the day of trouble : I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. But unto the
wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou
shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth ? seeing thou hatest instruction, and
castest my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with
him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy
tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother ; thou
slanderest thine own mother�s son. These things hast thou done, and I kept
silence ; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself : but I will
reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Now consider this, ye that
forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Whoso offereth
praise glorifieth me : and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show
the salvation of God. "

thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock
thereof die in the ground ; yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring
forth boughs like a plant. But man dieth, and wasteth away : yea, man giveth up the
ghost, and where is he ? As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth
and drieth up ; so man lieth down, and riseth not : till the heavens be no more,
they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. Oh that thou wouldest hide
me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that
thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me ! If a man die, shall he live
again ? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou
shalt call, and I will answer thee : thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine
hands. For now thou numberest my steps : dost thou not watch over my sin ? My
transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. And surely
the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
The waters wear the stones : thou washest away the things which grow out of the
dust of the earth ; and thou destroyest the hope of man. Thou prevailest for ever
against him, and he passeth : thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

which are round about him that is slain : and it shall be, that the city which is
next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer, which
hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke ; and the elders
of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither
eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer�s neck there in the valley. "

For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment,
or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of
both parties shall come before the judges ; and whom the judges shall condemn, he
shall pay double unto his neighbor. � If a man deliver unto his neighbor 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 : then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he
hath not put his hand unto his neighbor�s goods ; and the owner of it shall accept
thereof, and he shall not make it good. And if it be stolen from him, he shall make
restitution unto the owner thereof. If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it
for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn. � And if a man borrow
aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it,
he shall surely make it good. But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not
make it good : if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire. "
26759 "if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the
statutes of life, without committing iniquity ; he shall surely live, he shall not

done that which is lawful and right ; he shall surely live. � Yet the children of
thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal : but as for them, their way is
not equal. When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth
iniquity, he shall even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness,
and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. Yet ye say, The way
of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after
his ways. "

other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man
also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus : who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with
God : but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant,

not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all : and thus are
the secrets of his heart made manifest ; and so falling down on his face he will
worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. � How is it then, brethren ?
when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a
tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto
edifying. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most
by three, and that by course ; and let one interpret. But if there be no
interpreter, let him keep silence in the church ; and let him speak to himself, and
to God. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing
be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may
all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the
spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of
confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. � Let your women keep
silence in the churches : for it is not permitted unto them to speak ; but they are
commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any
thing, let them ask their husbands at home : for it is a shame for women to speak
in the church. What ! came the word of God out from you ? or came it unto you
only ? � If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him
acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. "

in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the
Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother ? And he said, I know not : Am I my
brother�s keeper ? And he said, What hast thou done ? the voice of thy brother�s
blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which
hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother�s blood from thy hand. When thou
tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength ; a
fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. And Cain said unto the Lord, My
punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day
from the face of the earth ; and from thy face shall I be hid ; and I shall be a
fugitive and a vagabond in the earth ; and it shall come to pass, that every one
that findeth me shall slay me. And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever
slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark
upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. And Cain went out from the
presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. � 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. And unto Enoch was
born Irad : and Irad begat Mehujael : and Mehujael begat Methusael : and Methusael
begat Lamech. And Lamech took unto him two wives : the name of the one was Adah,
and the name of the other Zillah. And Adah bare Jabal : he was the father of such
as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. "
23869 "If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return unto me : and if thou
wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. And
thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness ;
and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. � For
thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground,
and sow not among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the
foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem ; lest my
fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of
your doings. "
38750 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in
us.
37389 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not
on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in
glory.
38213 "in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then
said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will,
O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering
for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein ; which are offered by
the law ; then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first,
that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. � And every priest standeth
daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take
away sins : but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,
sat down on the right hand of God ; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be
made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are
sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us : for after that he had
said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,
saith the Lord ; I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I
write them ; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where
remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. "
12602 "In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his
servant three years : then he turned and rebelled against him. And the Lord sent
against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the
Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to
destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servants the
prophets. 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 ; and
also for the innocent blood that he shed : for he filled Jerusalem with innocent
blood ; which the Lord would not pardon. 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 ? "
18714 "In Judah is God known : his name is great in Israel. In Salem also is his
tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. There brake he the arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. Thou art more glorious and
excellent than the mountains of prey. The stout-hearted are spoiled, they have
slept their sleep : and none of the men of might have found their hands. At thy
rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
Thou, even thou, art to be feared : and who may stand in thy sight when once thou
art angry ? Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven ; the earth feared,
and was still, when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
Selah. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee : the remainder of wrath shalt
thou restrain. Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God : let all that be round about
him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. He shall cut off the spirit of
princes : he is terrible to the kings of the earth. "
19990 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me. Deliver my soul, O
Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given unto thee ?
Or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue ? Sharp arrows of the mighty,
with coals of juniper. Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the
tents of Kedar ! My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. I am for peace
: but when I speak, they are for war.
22109 "in that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be a healer ; for in my house
is neither bread nor clothing : make me not a ruler of the people. 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. � The show 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. Say ye to the
righteous, that it shall be well with him : for they shall eat the fruit of their
doings. Woe unto the wicked ! it shall be ill with him : for the reward of his
hands shall be given him. 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. � The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to
judge the people. The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his
people, and the princes thereof : for ye have eaten up the vineyard ; the spoil of
the poor is in your houses. What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and
grind the faces of the poor ? saith the Lord God of hosts. "
22656 "In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah ; We have a strong
city ; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates, that
the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in
perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee : because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye
in the Lord for ever : for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. For he
bringeth down them that dwell on high ; the lofty city, he layeth it low ; he
layeth it low, even to the ground ; "
22684 "In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish
leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent ; and he shall
slay the dragon that is in the sea. � In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of
red wine. "
29098 "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. � 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. 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 shalt not live ; for thou speakest lies in the name of
the Lord : and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through
when he prophesieth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall
be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied ; neither shall they
wear a rough garment to deceive : but he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a
husbandman ; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. And one shall say unto
him, What are these wounds in thine hands ? Then he shall answer, Those with which
I was wounded in the house of my friends. "
29084 "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 people with blindness. And the governors of Judah
shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the
Lord of hosts their God. � In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a
hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf ; and they shall
devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left : and
Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. � 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 do not magnify themselves against Judah.
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. And it shall come to pass in that
day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. � And
I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
spirit of grace and of supplications : and they shall look upon me whom they have
pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall
be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that
day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in
the valley of Megiddon. 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 ; the family of the house of Levi apart, and
their wives apart ; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart ; all the
families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart. "
30518 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a
thief with swords and staves for to take me ? I sat daily with you teaching in the
temple, and ye laid no hold on me. But all this was done, that the Scriptures of
the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
4 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was
without form, and void ; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit
of God moved upon the face of the waters. � And God said, Let there be light : and
there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good : and God divided the
light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. � And God said, Let
there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from
the waters. 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. And God
called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. �
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. And God called the dry land Earth ;
and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas : and God saw that it was
good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and
the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the
earth : and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed
after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his
kind : and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third
day. "
24576 "In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah
came this word from the Lord, saying, 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 ; diminish
not a word : if so 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. 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, to hearken to the
words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and
sending them, but ye have not hearkened ; then will I make this house like Shiloh,
and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. So the priests and
the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of
the Lord. � Now 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 took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die. Why hast thou
prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and
this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant ? And all the people were
gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. "
24604 "In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah
came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Thus saith the Lord to me ;
Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck, and send them to the king of
Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of
Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to
Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah ; and command them to say unto their masters,
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Thus shall ye say unto your
masters ; I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by
my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed
meet unto me. And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
the king of Babylon, my servant ; and the beasts of the field have I given him also
to serve him. "
33085 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him ; and
without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life ; and the life
was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness ; and the darkness
comprehended it not. � There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The
same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him
might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. �
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He
was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He
came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name
: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God. � And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and
truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He
that cometh after me is preferred before me ; for he was before me. "

of righteousness. Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad,
because of thy judgments. Walk about Zion, and go round about her : tell the towers
thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces ; that ye may tell it to
the generation following. For this God is our God for ever and ever : he will be

26265 "in the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth 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 : then said I 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. 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 will pour out my fury upon them to
accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. But I wrought
for my name�s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom
they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out
of the land of Egypt. Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt,
and brought them into the wilderness. And I gave them my statutes, and showed them
my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. 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. But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the
wilderness : they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which
if a man do, he shall even live in them ; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted. �
Then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
But I wrought for my name�s sake, that it should not be polluted before the

unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, The Lord
hath been sore displeased with your fathers. Therefore say thou unto them, Thus
saith the Lord of hosts ; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn
unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former
prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; Turn ye now from your
evil ways, and from your evildoings : but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me,
saith the Lord. Your fathers, where are they ? and the prophets, do they live for
ever ? But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets,
did they not take hold of your fathers ? and they returned and said, 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. "
30624 "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the
week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold,
there was a great earthquake : for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and
came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was
like lightning, and his raiment white as snow : and for fear of him the keepers did
shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear
not ye : for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here : for
he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly,
and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead ; and, behold, he goeth
before you into Galilee ; there shall ye see him : lo, I have told you. "

visions of his head upon his bed : then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the
matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four
winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from
the sea, diverse one from another. 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 stand upon the feet as a man, and a man�s heart was given to it.
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one
side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it : and they
said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 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. After this I saw in the night
visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly ;
and it had great iron teeth : it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the
residue with the feet of it : and it was diverse from all the beasts that were
before it ; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came
up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns
plucked up by the roots : and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man,
and a mouth speaking great things. � I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and
the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his
head like the pure wool : his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as
burning fire. "

which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans ; in the first year of his
reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of
the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in
the desolations of Jerusalem. � And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by
prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes : and I prayed
unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and
dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them
that keep his commandments ; we have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have
done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy
judgments : 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. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of
faces, 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. "

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 brought me
thither. In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me
upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south. 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. "
31643 "in the house of his servant David ; as he spake by the mouth of his holy
prophets, which have been since the world began : that we should be saved from our
enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us ; to perform the mercy promised to
our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant ; the oath which he sware to our
father Abraham, that he would grant unto us, that we, being delivered out of the
hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness
before him, all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet
of the Highest : for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his
ways ; to give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their
sins, through the tender mercy of our God ; whereby the dayspring from on high hath
visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace. And the child grew, and waxed strong in
spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel. "

string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. If the foundations be
destroyed, what can the righteous do ? The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord�s
throne is in heaven : his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. The
Lord trieth the righteous : but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul
hateth. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible
tempest : this shall be the portion of their cup. For the righteous Lord loveth
righteousness ; "

praises unto thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death : wilt not thou
deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living

that shall not be known. Therefore, whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be
heard in the light ; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be
proclaimed upon the housetops. "
25027 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 they
besieged it. And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth
day of the month, the city was broken up. And all the princes of the king of
Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo,
Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes
of the king of Babylon. And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah
saw them, and all the men of war, 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 plain. But the Chaldeans� army pursued after them, and
overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho : and when they had taken him, they
brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath,
where he gave judgment upon him. 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.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah�s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to
Babylon. And the Chaldeans burned the king�s house, and the houses of the people,
with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem. Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of
the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained
in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the
people that remained. But Nebuzar-adan 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.

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 Josedech, the high
priest, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say, The time
is not come, the time that the Lord�s house should be built. Then came the word of
the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your
ceiled houses, and this house lie waste ? Now therefore thus saith the Lord of
hosts ; Consider your ways. 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

mountain, and bring wood, and build the house ; and I will take pleasure in it, and
I will be glorified, saith the Lord. 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 is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her
fruit. And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon
the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground
bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.

12179 "In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah
the son of Joash king of Judah. He was twenty and five years old when he began to
reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother�s name was
Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord,
yet not like David his father : he did according to all things as Joash his father
did. Howbeit the high places were not taken away : as yet the people did sacrifice
and burnt incense on the high places. And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom
was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his
father. But the children of the murderers he slew not : according unto that which
is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The
fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to
death for the fathers ; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin. � He
slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called
the name of it Joktheel unto this day. � 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. 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 "

of Noah, and Noah�s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark ;
they, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl
after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark,
two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in,
went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him : and the Lord shut
him in. � And the flood was forty days upon the earth ; and the waters increased,
and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. And the waters
prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth ; and the ark went upon the
face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth ; and all
the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits
upward did the waters prevail ; and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died
that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man : all in whose nostrils
was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living
substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and
cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven ; and they were
destroyed from the earth : and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with
him in the ark. And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days. "
12270 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham
king of Judah began to reign. Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and
reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight
of the Lord his God, like David his father. 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. And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills,
and under every green tree.
28813 "In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the
word of the Lord by the prophet Haggai, saying, Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest,
and to the residue of the people, saying, Who is left among you that saw this house
in her first glory ? and how do ye see it now ? is it not in your eyes in
comparison of it as nothing ? Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord ; and
be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest ; and be strong, all ye
people of the land, saith the Lord, and work : for I am with you, saith the Lord of
hosts : According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt,
so my Spirit remaineth among you : fear ye not. 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 ; "
12110 "In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign ; and forty years
reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother�s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. And
Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all his days wherein
Jehoiada the priest instructed him. But the high places were not taken away : the
people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. "
14141 "In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel
came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out
or come in to Asa king of Judah. 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, 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. 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. And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it,
that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease. Then Asa the king took
all Judah ; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof,
wherewith Baasha was building ; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah. � 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 not relied on the Lord thy God,
therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. Were not the
Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen ? yet,
because thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them into thine hand. For the
eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong
in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done
foolishly : therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. "
26612 "In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the
word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh
king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt : 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

land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were
departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in
the wilderness ; and there Israel camped before the mount. "
27669 "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, but the time appointed
was long : and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. � In
those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. 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. And in the four and twentieth day of the first month,
as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel ; then I lifted up mine
eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were
girded with fine gold of Uphaz : 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 color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of
a multitude. And I Daniel alone saw the vision : for the men that were with me saw
not the vision ; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide
themselves. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there
remained no strength in me : for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption,
and I retained no strength. Yet heard I the voice of his words : and when I heard
the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward
the ground. � And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon
the palms of my hands. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a 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. "
27317 "In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. And the Lord gave
Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God
: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god ; and he brought
the vessels into the treasure house of his god. And the king spake unto Ashpenaz
the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel,
and of the king�s seed, and of the princes ; children in whom was no blemish, but
well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and
understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king�s
palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king�s meat, and of the wine
which he drank : so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might
stand before the king. Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel,
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah : unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names :
for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar ; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach ;
and to Mishael, of Meshach ; and to Azariah, of Abednego. � But Daniel purposed in
his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of 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. Now God had brought Daniel into favor and tender
love with the prince of the eunuchs. "
27589 "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. And I saw in a
vision ; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace,
which is in the province of Elam ; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of
Ulai. "
12137 "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. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and
followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin ; he
departed not therefrom. "
12299 "In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to
reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him. Against him
came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria ; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him
presents. And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea : for he had sent
messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought 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. Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to
Samaria, and besieged it three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of
Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in
Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. "

with thy wickedness. Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath
been no latter rain ; and thou hadst a whore�s forehead, thou refusedst to be
ashamed. Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of
my youth ? Will he reserve his anger for ever ? will he keep it to the end ?
Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest. "
22183 "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it 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. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy,
holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts : the whole earth is full of his glory. And the
posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled
with smoke. 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. � 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 : and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips ;
and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the
Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us ? Then said I, Here am I ;
send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand
not ; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 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 convert, and be healed.
Then said I, Lord, how long ? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without
inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, and the
Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the
land. But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten : as
a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves
: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. "
22516 "In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria
sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it ; at the same time spake the Lord
by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins,
and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. And
the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years
for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia ; "
18568 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust : let me never be put to confusion.
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape : incline thine ear unto
me, and save me. Be thou my strong habitation,
17671 "In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust ; let me never be ashamed : deliver me in
thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me ; deliver me speedily : be thou my
strong rock, for a house of defense to save me. For thou art my rock and my
fortress ; therefore for thy name�s sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the
net that they have laid privily for me : for thou art my strength. Into thine hand
I commit my spirit : thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. I have hated them
that regard lying vanities : but I trust in the Lord. I will be glad and rejoice in
thy mercy : for thou hast considered my trouble ; thou hast known my soul in
adversities ; and hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy : thou hast set my
feet in a large room. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble : mine eye is
consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. For my life is spent with grief,
and my years with sighing : my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my
bones are consumed. I was a reproach among all mine enemies, "
38836 "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his
only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love,
not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the
propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in
us, and his love is perfected in us. � Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he
in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that
the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess
that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known
and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love ; and he that dwelleth in
love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may
have boldness in the day of judgment : because as he is, so are we in this world.
There is no fear in love ; but perfect love casteth out fear : because fear hath
torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first
loved us. 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, how can he love God whom he hath not
seen ? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his
brother also. "
29289 "In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
and saying, Repent ye : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that
was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. And the same
John had his raiment of camel�s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins ; and
his meat was locusts and wild honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea,
and all the region round about Jordan, and were baptized of him in Jordan,
confessing their sins. � But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come
to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to
flee from the wrath to come ? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance :
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. And
now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees : therefore every tree which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. � 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 : "
31024 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat,
Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the
multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat :
and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way :
for divers of them came from far. And his disciples answered him, From whence can a
man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness ?

of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in

wall, and prayed unto the Lord, 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. Then came the word of the Lord
to Isaiah, saying, 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. And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand
of the king of Assyria : and I will defend this city. � And this shall be a sign

gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, Turn
again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of
David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears : behold, I will
heal thee : on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. 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,

lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labor on
the day. 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, saving that every one put them
off for washing.

his father�s house three months : and when he was cast out, Pharaoh�s daughter
took him up, and nourished him for her own son. And Moses was learned in all the
wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. � And when he was
full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of
Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that
was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian : for he supposed his brethren would have
understood how that God by his hand would deliver them ; but they understood not.
And the next day he showed himself 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 ?
But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler
and a judge over us ? Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday ?
Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Midian, where he

wilderness of mount Sinai an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. When
Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight : and as he drew near to behold it, the
voice of the Lord came unto him, saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of
Abraham and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst
not behold. Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet : for the
place where thou standest is holy ground. I have seen, I have seen the affliction
of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down
to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. "

But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he
became a stranger ; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah
in the day of their destruction ; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the
day of distress. Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the
day of their calamity ; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in
the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of
their calamity ; neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off

36170 "Is any man called being circumcised ? let him not become uncircumcised. Is
any called in uncircumcision ? let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing,
and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. Let
every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. Art thou called being a
servant ? care not for it : but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. For he
that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord�s freeman : likewise also
he that is called, being free, is Christ�s servant. Ye are bought with a price ; be
not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein
abide with God. � Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord : yet I
give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. I
suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is
good for a man so to be. Art thou bound unto a wife ? seek not to be loosed. Art
thou loosed from a wife ? seek not a wife. But and if thou marry, thou hast not
sinned ; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have
trouble in the flesh : but I spare you. But this I say, brethren, the time is short
: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none ; and
they that weep, as though they wept not ; and they that rejoice, as though they
rejoiced not ; and they that buy, as though they possessed not ; and they that use
this world, as not abusing it : for the fashion of this world passeth away. � But I
would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that
belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord : "

mocked them. Nevertheless, divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled
themselves, and came to Jerusalem. Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them
one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the
Lord. � And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of
unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation. 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. Then they killed the passover on
the fourteenth day of the second month : and the priests and the Levites were
ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the
house of the Lord. And they stood in their place after their manner, according to
the law of Moses the man of God : the priests sprinkled the blood, which they
received of the hand of the Levites. For there were many in the congregation that
were not sanctified : therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the
passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord. 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 was
written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord pardon every one that
prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he be not
cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary. And the Lord hearkened to

their unbelief.

15978 "Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth ? Are not his days also
like the days of a hireling ? As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as a
hireling looketh for the reward of his work ; so am I made to possess months of
vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. When I lie down, I say, When
shall I arise, and the night be gone ? And I am full of tossings to and fro unto
the dawning of the day. My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust ; my skin
is broken, and become loathsome. My days are swifter than a weaver�s shuttle, and
are spent without hope. O remember that my life is wind : mine eye shall no more
see good. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more : thine eyes are
upon me, and I am not. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away ; so he that
goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his
house, neither shall his place know him any more. 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. Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me ?
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint ; then thou
scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions : so that my soul
chooseth strangling, "

that devour him shall offend ; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord. � Hear ye
the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel
: thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are
gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain ? 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 no man passed through, and
where no man dwelt ? And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit
thereof and the goodness thereof ; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and
made mine heritage an abomination. The priests said not, Where is the Lord ? and
they that handle the law knew me not : the pastors also transgressed against me,
and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. �
Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with your children�s
children will I plead. For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see ; and send unto
Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. Hath a nation
changed their gods, which are yet no gods ? but my people have changed their glory
for that which doth not profit. Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be
horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. 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. � Is Israel a servant ? is he a
homeborn slave ? why is he spoiled ? The young lions roared upon him, and yelled,
and they made his land waste : his cities are burned without inhabitant. "

13117 "Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning
Israel. And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had ; Jashobeam, a
Hachmonite, the chief of the captains : he lifted up his spear against three
hundred slain by him at one time. � And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the
Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties. He was with David at Pas-dammim, and
there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of
ground full of barley ; and the people fled from before the Philistines. And they
set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the
Philistines ; and the Lord saved them by a great deliverance. � Now three of the
thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam ; and the
host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in
the hold, and the Philistines� garrison was then at Bethlehem. And David longed,
and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem,
that is at the gate ! And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and
drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and
brought it to David : but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the
Lord, and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing : shall I drink
the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy ? for with the
jeopardy of their lives they brought it : therefore he would not drink it. These
things did these three mightiest. � And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief
of the three : for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and
had a name among the three. Of the three, he was more honorable than the two ; for
he was their captain : howbeit he attained not to the first three. "

of Ammon, and with them other besides the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to
battle. Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great
multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria ; and, behold, they
be in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi. And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to
seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered
themselves together, to ask help of the Lord : even out of all the cities of Judah
they came to seek the Lord. � And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah
and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, and said, O Lord God
of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven ? and rulest not thou over all the
kingdoms of the heathen ? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that
none is able to withstand thee ? Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the
inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of
Abraham thy friend for ever ? And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a
sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword,

presence, (for thy "

thy name, O Most High : to show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy
faithfulness every night, upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the
psaltery ; upon the harp with a solemn sound. For thou, Lord, hast made me glad
through thy work : I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O Lord, how great are
thy works ! And thy thoughts are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not ; neither
doth a fool understand this. 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 : but
thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo,
thine enemies shall perish ; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my
horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of a unicorn : I shall be anointed with fresh
oil. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, "
21021 "It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness : for the throne is
established by righteousness. Righteous lips are the delight of kings ; and they
love him that speaketh right. The wrath of a king is as messengers of death : but a
wise man will pacify it. In the light of the king�s countenance is life ; and his
favor is as a cloud of the latter rain. How much better is it to get wisdom than
gold ! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver ! The highway of
the upright is to depart from evil : he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to
be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. He
that handleth a matter wisely shall find good : and whoso trusteth in the Lord,
happy is he. The wise in heart shall be called prudent : and the sweetness of the
lips increaseth learning. Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath
it : but the instruction of fools is folly. The heart of the wise teacheth his
mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to
the soul, and health to the bones. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man ;
but the end thereof are the ways of death. He that laboreth, laboreth for
himself ; for his mouth craveth it of him. An ungodly man diggeth up evil : and in
his lips there is as a burning fire. A froward man soweth strife : and a whisperer
separateth chief friends. A violent man enticeth his neighbor, "
3610 "it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall
pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up : for he is unclean. And if a
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 foot, wheresoever the priest looketh
; then the priest shall consider : 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. But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. And the
priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean : for the raw flesh
is unclean : it is a leprosy. Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto
white, he shall come unto the priest ; and the priest shall see him : and, behold,
if the plague be turned into white ; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that
hath the plague : he is clean. � The flesh also, in which, even in the skin
thereof, was a boil, and is healed, and in the place of the boil there be a white
rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the
priest ; and if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the
skin, and the hair thereof be turned white ; the priest shall pronounce him unclean
: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil. But if the priest look on it,
and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin,
but be somewhat dark ; then the priest shall shut him up seven days : and if it
spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is
a plague. But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning
boil ; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. � Or if there be any flesh, in the
skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white
bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white ; "
25620 "It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. He sitteth alone
and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. He putteth his mouth in the
dust ; if so be there may be hope. He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him : he
is filled full with reproach. For the Lord will not cast off for ever : but though
he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his
mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. To
crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, to turn aside the right of a
man before the face of the Most High, to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord
approveth not. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord
commandeth it not ? Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and
good ? Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins ?
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. Let us lift up our
heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. We have transgressed and have
rebelled : thou hast not pardoned. Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted
us : thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud,
that our prayer should not pass through. Thou hast made us as the offscouring and
refuse in the midst of the people. All our enemies have opened their mouths against
us. Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. Mine eye runneth
down with rivers of water "
935 "It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt : but the God of your father
spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob
either good or bad. And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore
longedst after thy father�s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods ? And
Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid : for I said, Peradventure
thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. With whomsoever thou findest thy
gods, let him not live : before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me,
and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. � And Laban
went into Jacob�s tent, and into Leah�s tent, and into the two maidservants�
tents ; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah�s tent, and entered into
Rachel�s tent. Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel�s
furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up
before thee ; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not
the images. � 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 so hotly
pursued after me ? Whereas thou hast searched 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 both. This twenty years have I been with thee ; thy ewes
and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not
eaten. 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.
Thus I was ; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night ; and my
sleep departed from mine eyes. "
36774 "It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and
revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether
in the body, I cannot tell ; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell : God
knoweth ;) such a one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man,
(whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth ;) "
36110 "It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such
fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his
father�s wife. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that
hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. � For I verily, as absent
in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present,
concerning him that hath so done this deed, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ, 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. � Your glorying is not good. Know
ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump ? Purge out therefore the old
leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our
passover is sacrificed for us : therefore let us keep the feast, not with old
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness ; but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth. � I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with
fornicators : yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the
covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters ; for then must ye needs go out of the
world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is
called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a
drunkard, or an extortioner ; with such a one, no, not to eat. For what have I to
do to judge them also that are without ? do not ye judge them that are within ? But
them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that
wicked person. "
33382 "It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every
man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not
that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the
Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting
life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and
are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven : if any
man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever : and the bread that I will give is
my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. � The Jews therefore strove
among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat ? Then Jesus
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 no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, hath eternal life ; and I will raise him up at the last day. For
my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me,
and I live by the Father ; so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is
that bread which came down from heaven : not as your fathers did eat manna, and are
dead : he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. These things said he in
the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. "
27525 "It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes,
which should be over the whole kingdom ; and over these three presidents ; of whom
Daniel was first : that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king
should have no damage. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and
princes, because an excellent spirit was in him ; and the king thought to set him
over the whole realm. Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion
against Daniel concerning 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.
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. � Then these presidents and
princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live
for ever. All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the
counselors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute,
and to make a firm decree, 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. "
26524 "It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea : for
I have spoken it, saith the Lord God : and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword ; and they
shall know that I am the Lord. � For thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I will bring
upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with
horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. He
shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field : and he shall make a fort
against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break
down thy towers. By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover
thee : thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and
of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city
wherein is made a breach. With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy
streets : he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go
down to the ground. And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of
thy merchandise : and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant
houses : and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of
the water. And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease ; and the sound of thy
harps shall be no more heard. And I will make thee like the top of a rock : thou
shalt be a place to spread nets upon ; thou shalt be built no more : for I the Lord
have spoken it, saith the Lord God. � Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus ; Shall not
the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter
is made in the midst of thee ? Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from
their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments :

16252 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as
the olive. For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall
consume the tabernacles of bribery. They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity,
and their belly prepareth deceit.
17788 "it shall rejoice in his salvation. 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 ? False witnesses did rise up ; they
laid to my charge things that I knew not. They rewarded me evil for good to the
spoiling of my soul. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was
sackcloth : I humbled my soul with fasting ; and my prayer returned into mine own
bosom. I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother : I bowed down
heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. But in mine adversity they rejoiced,
and gathered themselves together : yea, the abjects gathered themselves together
against me, and I knew it not ; they did tear me, and ceased not : with
hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. Lord, how
long wilt thou look on ? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from
the lions. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation : I will praise thee
among much people. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me :
neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. For they speak
not peace : but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the
land. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye
hath seen it. This thou hast seen, O Lord : keep not silence : O Lord, be not far
from me. "
27312 It was round about eighteen thousand measures : and the name of the city from
that day shall be, The Lord is there.
32602 "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he
cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed
to yourselves : If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him ; and if he
repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and
seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him.

his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that

then, that we may see, and believe thee ? what dost thou work ? Our fathers did eat
manna in the desert ; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also have
seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me ; and him
that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to
do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father�s will
which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but
should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life
: and I will raise him up at the last day. � The Jews then murmured at him, because
he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this
Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know ? how is it then that he
saith, I came down from heaven ? Jesus therefore answered and said unto them,
Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath
sent me draw him : and I will raise him up at the last day. "

and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman was
taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such
should be stoned : but what sayest thou ? This they said, tempting him, that they
might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the
ground, as though he heard them not. So 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. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they
which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one,
beginning at the eldest, even unto the last : and Jesus was left alone, and the
woman standing in the midst. "

in Jerusalem. His mother�s name also was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. And Joash did that
which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest. And
Jehoiada took for him two wives ; and he begat sons and daughters. � And it came to
pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord. 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. 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
collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the Lord, and of
the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness ? 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 Baalim. "

13159 "Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the
eleventh. These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host : one of the least
was over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand. These are they that went over
Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks ; and they put to
flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west. � And
there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David. 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 enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers
look thereon, and rebuke it. Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the
captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse :
peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers ; for thy God helpeth
thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band. � And there
fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to
battle ; but they helped them not : for the lords of the Philistines upon
advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy
of our heads. As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and
Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of
the thousands that were of Manasseh. And they helped David against the band of the
rovers : for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the host. For
at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host,
like the host of God. � And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready
armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him,
according to the word of the Lord. The children of Judah that bare shield and spear
were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war. "

14705 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in
Jerusalem one and thirty years. And he did that which was right in the sight of the
Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right
hand, nor to the left.

one years in Jerusalem. And his mother�s name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah

14471 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother�s name also was Jerushah, the daughter of
Zadok. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all
that his father Uzziah did : howbeit he entered not into the temple of the Lord.
And the people did yet corruptly. He built the high gate of the house of the Lord,
and on the wall of Ophel he built much. Moreover he built cities in the mountains
of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. He fought also with the
king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave
him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat,
and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both
the second year, and the third. So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his
ways before the Lord his God. Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars,
and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. He
was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in
Jerusalem. And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of
David : and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
4678 journeyed : whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up,
they journeyed. Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud
tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in
their tents, and journeyed not : but when it was taken up, they journeyed. At the
commandment of the Lord they rested in their tents, and at the commandment of the
Lord they journeyed : they kept the charge of the Lord, at the commandment of the
Lord by the hand of Moses.

from the deceitful and unjust man. For thou art the God of my strength : why dost
thou cast me off ? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ? O
send out thy light and thy truth : let them lead me ; let them bring me unto thy
holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God
my exceeding joy : yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Why art
thou cast down, O my soul ? And why art thou disquieted within me ? Hope in God :
for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. "
17577 "Judge me, O Lord ; for I have walked in mine integrity : I have trusted also
in the Lord ; therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me ; try
my reins and my heart. For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes : and I have
walked in thy truth. I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with
dissemblers. "
17206 "judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine
integrity that is in me. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end ; but
establish the just : for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. My defense
is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. God judgeth the righteous, and God is
angry with the wicked every day. If he turn not, he will whet his sword ; he hath
bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of
death ; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. Behold, he travaileth with
iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit,
and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall
return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own
pate. I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness : and will sing praise
to the name of the Lord most high. "

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult : and they that hate thee have lifted up the
head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy
hidden ones. 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. For they have consulted
together with one consent : they are confederate against thee : the tabernacles of
Edom, and the Ishmaelites ; of Moab, and the Hagarenes ; Gebal, and Ammon, and
Amalek ; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre ; Assur also is joined with
them : they have helped the children of Lot. Selah. Do unto them as unto the
Midianites ; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison : which perished at
En-dor : they became as dung for the earth. "
23090 "Keep silence before me, O islands ; and let the people renew their
strength : let them come near ; then let them speak : let us come near together to
judgment. Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot,
gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings ? he gave them as the
dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. He pursued them, and passed
safely ; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. Who hath wrought and
done it, calling the generations from the beginning ? I the Lord, the first, and
with the last ; I am he. � The isles saw it, and feared ; the ends of the earth
were afraid, drew near, and came. They helped every one his neighbor ; and every
one said to his brother, Be of good courage. So the carpenter encouraged the
goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying,
It is ready for the soldering : and he fastened it with nails, that it should not
be moved. � But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of
Abraham my friend. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called
thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant ; I have
chosen thee, and not cast thee away. 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. � Behold, all they that
were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded : they shall be as
nothing ; and they that strive with thee shall perish. "
2469 "Keep thee far from a false matter ; and the innocent and righteous slay thou
not : for I will not justify the wicked. And thou shalt take no gift : for the gift
blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. � Also thou shalt
not oppress a stranger : for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were
strangers in the land of Egypt. � And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt
gather in the fruits thereof : but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie
still ; that the poor of thy people may eat : and what they leave the beasts of the
field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy
oliveyard. � Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt
rest : that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the
stranger, may be refreshed. And in all things that I have said unto you be
circumspect : and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be
heard out of thy mouth. "
21676 "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to
hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools : for they consider not that they do
evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, 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. � For a dream cometh through the multitude of business ; and a fool�s
voice is known by multitude of words. � When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not
to pay it ; for he hath no pleasure in fools : pay that which thou hast vowed.
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
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 ? � For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are
also divers vanities : but fear thou God. "
38959 "keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus
Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference : and
others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire ; hating even the garment
spotted by the flesh. "
24817 "kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of
Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And they have turned unto me the back, and
not the face : though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they
have not hearkened to receive instruction. But they set their abominations in the
house, which is called by my name, to defile it. 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. � And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this
city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by
the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence ; Behold, I will gather them
out of all 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 : and they shall be my people, and I will be their God : 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 : and I will make an everlasting covenant
with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good ; but I will put my
fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. 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. � 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. 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. "
35658 "Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the
law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth ? For the woman which hath a
husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth ; but if the
husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her
husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress :
but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law ; so that she is no
adulteress, though she be married to another man. � Wherefore, my brethren, ye also
are become dead to the law by the body of Christ ; that ye should be married to
another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit
unto God. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the
law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. "
16973 "Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth ? Or canst
thou mark when the hinds do calve ? Canst thou number the months that they fulfil ?
Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth ? They bow themselves, they bring
forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. Their young ones are in good
liking, they grow up with corn ; they go forth, and return not unto them. Who hath
sent out the wild ass free ? Or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass ? whose
house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. He scorneth
the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. The range
of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. Will the
unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib ? Canst thou bind the
unicorn with his band in the furrow ? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee ?
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great ? "
36600 "knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by
Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the
abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
� For which cause we faint not ; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward
man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory ; 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. "

And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of

36712 "lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we
(that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. Therefore
I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you,
and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same
might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. � But this I
say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly ; and he which soweth
bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his
heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of necessity : for God loveth a
cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you ; that ye,
always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work : (as it
is written, He hath dispersed abroad ; he hath given to the poor : his
righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both
minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits
of your righteousness :) being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which
causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not
only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings
unto God ; while by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your
professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution
unto them, and unto all men ; and by their prayer for you, which long after you for
the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. "
36551 lest Satan should get an advantage of us : for we are not ignorant of his
devices.
36080 "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of
the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found
faithful. 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. For I know nothing by myself ;
yet am I not hereby justified : but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge
nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the
hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts : and
then shall every man have praise of God. � And these things, brethren, I have in a
figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes ; that ye might learn in
us not "
37745 "Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of
all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. And they that
have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren ; but
rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the
benefit. � These things teach and exhort. "
38326 "Let brotherly love continue. Be not fogtful to entertain strangers : for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as
bound with them ; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the
body. Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled : but whoremongers and
adulterers God will judge. "
35869 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but
of God : the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the
power, resisteth the ordinance of God : and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation.
18476 "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered : let them also that hate him
flee before him. 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. But let the
righteous be glad ; let them rejoice before God : yea, let them exceedingly
rejoice. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name : extol him that rideth upon the
heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him. A father of the fatherless, and a
judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God setteth the solitary in
families : he bringeth out those which are bound with chains : but the rebellious
dwell in a dry land. O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou
didst march through the wilderness ; Selah. The earth shook, the heavens also
dropped at the presence of God : even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of
God, the God of Israel. Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou
didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. Thy congregation hath dwelt
therein : thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. The Lord gave
the word : "
16067 "Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me : then
would I speak, and not fear him ; but it is not so with me. "
9868 "Let it rest on the head of Joab ; and on 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 on the sword, or that lacketh bread. So
Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel
at Gibeon in the battle. � 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 himself followed the bier. 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.
And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth ? Thy hands
were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters : as a man falleth before wicked men,
so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him. And when all the people
came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do
God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or aught else, till the sun be down.
And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them : as whatsoever the king
did pleased all the people. For all the people and all Israel understood that day
that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner. And the king said unto
his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in
Israel ? And I am this day weak, though anointed king ; and these men the sons of
Zeruiah be too hard for me : the Lord shall reward the doer of evil according to
his wickedness. "
5133 "Let me pass through thy land : we will not turn into the fields, or into the
vineyards ; we will not drink of the waters of the well : but we will go along by
the king�s high way, until we be past thy borders. 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 he came to Jahaz, and fought
against Israel. 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. And Israel took all these cities : and Israel
dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages
thereof. 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. Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city
of Sihon be built and prepared : for there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame
from the city of Sihon : it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high
places of Arnon. Woe to thee, Moab ! Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh : he hath
given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of
the Amorites. We have shot at them ; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we
have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba. "
37126 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And
grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of
redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil
speaking, be put away from you, with all malice : and be ye kind one to another,
tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ�s sake hath forgiven
you.
37715 "Let no man despise thy youth ; but be thou an example of the believers, in
word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come,
give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that
is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of
the presbytery. Meditate upon these things ; give thyself wholly to them ; that thy
profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine ;
continue in them : for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that
hear thee. "
20543 "Let not mercy and truth forsake thee : bind them about thy neck ; write them
upon the table of thine heart : so shalt thou find favor and good understanding in
the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart ; and lean not
unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct
thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes : fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It
shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. Honor the Lord with thy
substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase : so shall thy barns be
filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. My son, despise
not the chastening of the Lord ; neither be weary of his correction : for whom the
Lord loveth he correcteth ; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Happy
is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding : for the
merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof
than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies : and all the things thou canst
desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand ; and
in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her
paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her : and happy
is every one that retaineth her. The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth ; "
33830 "Let not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, believe also in me. In
my Father�s house are many mansions : if it were not so, I would have told you. I
go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself ; that where I am, there ye may be also. And
whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not
whither thou goest ; and how can we know the way ? Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life : no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had
known me, ye should have known my Father also : and from henceforth ye know him,
and have seen him. � Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it
sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast
thou not known me, Philip ? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father ; and how
sayest thou then, Show us the Father ? Believest thou not that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me ? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself : but
the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the
Father, and the Father in me : or else believe me for the very works� sake. �
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 my
Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may
be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. "
10490 "let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up
unto the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, whom the Lord did choose. And the king said, I
will give them. � 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. 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 brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the
Meholathite : and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they
hanged them in the hill before the Lord : and they fell all seven together, and
were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of
barley harvest. � And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for
her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out
of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor
the beasts of the field by night. And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of
Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 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, when the
Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa : 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. And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country
of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father : and they performed all
that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land. "
22229 Let the Lord Be Your Fear
38214 Let Us Draw Near and Hold Fast
38230 "let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our
hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering ; for he is faithful
that promised ; and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good
works : not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some
is ; but exhorting one another : and so much the more, as ye see the day
approaching. � For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of
the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful
looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses� law died without mercy under two or three witnesses : of
how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden
under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he
was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace ?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense,
saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing
to fall into the hands of the living God. � But call to remembrance the former
days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of
afflictions ; partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and
afflictions ; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your
goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring
substance. "
16803 "let us know among ourselves what is good. For Job hath said, I am
righteous : and God hath taken away my judgment. Should I lie against my right ? My
wound is incurable without transgression. What man is like Job, who drinketh up
scorning like water ? which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and
walketh with wicked men. For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he
should delight himself with God. 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. For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause
every man to find according to his ways. Yea, surely God will not do wickedly,
neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. Who hath given him a charge over the
earth ? Or who hath disposed the whole world ? If he set his heart upon man, if he
gather unto himself his spirit and his breath ; all flesh shall perish together,
and man shall turn again unto dust. If now thou hast understanding, hear this :
hearken to the voice of my words. Shall even he that hateth right govern ? And wilt
thou condemn him that is most just ? Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked ?
and to princes, Ye are ungodly ? How much less to him that accepteth not the
persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor ? For they all are
the work of his hands. In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled
at midnight, and pass away : "
38075 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
38044 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his
rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel
preached, as well as unto them : but the word preached did not profit them, not
being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter
into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my
rest :
38340 "Let your conversation be without covetousness ; and be content with such
things as ye have : for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man
shall do unto me. � Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken
unto you the word of God : whose faith follow, considering the end of their
conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. Be not
carried about with divers and strange doctrines : for it is a good thing that the
heart be established with grace ; not with meats, which have not profited them that
have been occupied therein. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat
which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought
into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood,
suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,
bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is,
the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate
forget not : for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. � Obey them that have
the rule over you, and submit yourselves : for they watch for your souls, as they
that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief : for that
is unprofitable for you. � Pray for us : for we trust we have a good conscience, in
all things willing to live honestly. But I beseech you the rather to do this, that
I may be restored to you the sooner. "

poor Anathoth. Madmenah is removed ; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to
flee. As yet shall he remain at Nob that day : he shall shake his hand against the
mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. � Behold, the Lord, the Lord
of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror : and the high ones of stature shall be
hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. And he shall cut down the thickets of
the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one. "
23590 "like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. �
And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in
Jacob, saith the Lord. 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. "
28063 "Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like
the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in
battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained : all faces shall
gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men ; they shall climb the wall like
men of war ; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break
their ranks : neither shall one thrust another ; they shall walk every one in his
path : and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run
to and fro in the city ; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the
houses ; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake
before them ; the heavens shall tremble : the sun and the moon shall be dark, and
the stars shall withdraw their shining : and the Lord shall utter his voice before
his army : for his camp is very great : for he is strong that executeth his word :
for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible ; and who can abide it ? "
3393 "Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering : it is most holy. In the
place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering :
and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar. And he shall
offer of it all the fat thereof ; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the
caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away : and the
priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the Lord :
it is a trespass offering. Every male among the priests shall eat thereof : it
shall be eaten in the holy place : it is most holy. As the sin offering is, so is
the trespass offering : there is one law for them : the priest that maketh
atonement therewith shall have it. 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. And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven, and all
that is dressed in the frying pan, and in the pan, shall be the priest�s that
offereth it. And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons
of Aaron have, one as much as another. � And this is the law of the sacrifice of
peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the Lord. 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, fried. "
38574 "Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands ; that, if any
obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the
wives ; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose
adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing
of gold, or of putting on of apparel ; but let it be the hidden man of the heart,
in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time
the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection
unto their own husbands : even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord : whose
daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. �
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto
the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of
life ; that your prayers be not hindered. "
23333 "Listen, O isles, unto me ; and hearken, ye people, from far ; The Lord hath
called me from the womb ; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my
name. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword ; in the shadow of his hand hath
he hid me, and made me a polished shaft ; in his quiver hath he hid me ; and said
unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. Then I said, I
have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain : yet surely
my judgment is with the Lord, and my work with my God. � And now, saith the Lord
that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though
Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God
shall be my strength. "

thee. 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. If thy father at all miss me, then say, David
earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city : for there is
a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. If he say thus, It is well ; thy
servant shall have peace : but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is
determined by him. Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant ; for thou
hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee : notwithstanding,
if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself ; for why shouldest thou bring me to
thy father ? And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee : for if I knew certainly that
evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it
thee ? Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me ? or what if thy father
answer thee roughly ? And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into
the field. And they went out both of them into the field. � And Jonathan said unto
David, O Lord God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about tomorrow any time,
or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not
unto thee, and show it thee ; the Lord do so and much more to Jonathan : but if it
please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it thee, and send thee away,
that thou mayest go in peace : and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my
father. And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the Lord,

pride ; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord�s

thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me ? For the greatness of thine
iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare. Can the Ethiopian
change his skin, or the leopard his spots ? then may ye also do good, that are
accustomed to do evil. Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth
away by the wind of the wilderness. This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures
from me, saith the Lord ; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. I
have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and
thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem ! wilt
thou not be made clean ? when shall it once be ? "

for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,

as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath
written unto you ; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things ;
in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and
unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also,
being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But
grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be
glory both now and for ever. Amen. "
11213 "Lord spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat. � So 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. But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the
cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who
was over the tribute ; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died.
Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to
Jerusalem. So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. And it came
to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, 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. � And when
Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe
of Benjamin, a 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. But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying, Speak
unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah
and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Ye
shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel : return
every man to his house ; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the

offerings before the Lord. And the children of Israel inquired of the Lord, (for
the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 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 them into thine
hand. � And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah. And the children of Israel
went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in
array against Gibeah, as at other times. And the children of Benjamin went out
against the people, and were drawn away from the city ; and they began to smite of
the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to
the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the
first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city
unto the highways. And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put
themselves in array at Baal-tamar : and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out
of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah. And there came against Gibeah
ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore : but they knew
not that evil was near them. And the Lord smote Benjamin before Israel : and the
children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand
and a hundred men : all these drew the sword. � So the children of Benjamin saw
that they were smitten : for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites,
because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah. 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. "

wicked works with men that work iniquity : and let me not eat of their dainties.
Let the righteous smite me ; it shall be a kindness : and let him reprove me ; it

Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of
iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. "

to mine eyelids, until I find out a place for the Lord, a habitation for the mighty
God of Jacob. Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah : we found it in the fields of the
wood. We will go into his tabernacles : we will worship at his footstool. Arise, O
Lord, into thy rest ; thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed
with righteousness ; and let thy saints shout for joy. For thy servant David�s sake
turn not away the face of thine anointed. The Lord hath sworn in truth unto
David ; he will not turn from it ; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy
throne. If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach
them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. For the Lord hath

32848 "men�s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which
are coming on the earth : for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall
they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when
these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads ; for your
redemption draweth nigh. � And he spake to them a parable ; Behold the fig tree,
and all the trees ; when they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves
that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to
pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This
generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass
away ; but my words shall not pass away. � And take heed to yourselves, lest at any
time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this
life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all
them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray
always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come
to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. � And in the daytime he was teaching
in the temple ; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the
mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple,
for to hear him. "
25356 "Merodach is broken in pieces ; her idols are confounded, her images are
broken in pieces. For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which
shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein : they shall remove,
they shall depart, both man and beast. � In those days, and in that time, saith the
Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together,
going and weeping : they shall go, and seek the Lord their God. They shall ask the
way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves
to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. � 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. 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. � Remove 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. For, lo, I will raise 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 a mighty expert man ; none shall return in vain. And Chaldea shall
be a spoil : all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord. � Because ye
were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are
grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls ; your mother shall be sore
confounded ; she that bare you shall be ashamed : behold, the hindermost of the
nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. "

scales. And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of
thy rivers : thou shalt fall upon the open fields ; thou shalt not be brought
together, nor gathered : I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and
to the fowls of the heaven. � 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. When they
took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder : and
when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a
stand. Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee,
and cut off man and beast out of thee. And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and
waste ; and they shall know that I am the Lord. � Because he hath said, The river
is mine, and I have made it, behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy
rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the
tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through
it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty
years. And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries
that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be
desolate forty years : and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will
disperse them through the countries. � Yet thus saith the Lord God ; At the end of
forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered
: 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 habitation ; and they shall be there a
base kingdom. It shall be the basest of the kingdoms ; neither shall it exalt
itself any more above the nations : for I will diminish them, that they shall no
more rule over the nations. "

God. � Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, when the
house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by
their doings : their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the
land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it : and I scattered them
among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries : according to
their way and according to their doings I judged them. And when they entered unto
the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them,
These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had
pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen,
whither they went. � Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord
God ; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name�s
sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will
sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have
profaned in the midst of them ; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord,
saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will
take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will
bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye
shall be clean : from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse
you. 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 a heart of
flesh. 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. "
10316 "Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand
men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night : 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 : 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. And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all
the elders of Israel. � Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and
let us hear likewise what he saith. 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. And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel
that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. For, said Hushai, 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. "
13536 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the
sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who
13793 "Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and
twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof. Also he made
a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the
height thereof ; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. "
25754 "Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest ; eat this roll,
and go speak unto the house of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to
eat that roll. 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. � And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto
the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. For thou art not sent to a
people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel ; not
to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst
not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto
thee. "
15170 "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 convey me over till I come into
Judah ; 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 palace which appertained 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. � Then I came to the
governors beyond the river, and gave them the king�s letters. Now the king had sent
captains of the army and horsemen with me. When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah
the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was
come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel. "
14352 "Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears,
and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David�s, which were in the house of
God. And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the
right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the
temple, by the king round about. Then they brought out the king�s son, and put upon
him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his
sons anointed him, and said, God save the king. � Now when Athaliah heard the noise
of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house
of the Lord : and she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the
entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king : and all the people of
the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of
music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said,
Treason, treason. Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds
that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges : and
whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her
not in the house of the Lord. So they laid hands on her ; and when she was come to
the entering of the horse gate by the king�s house, they slew her there. � And
Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the
king, that they should be the Lord�s people. Then 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. Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of
the house of the Lord by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had
distributed in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as
it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was
ordained by David. "
16547 "Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, As God liveth, who hath taken
away my judgment ; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul ; all the while my
breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils ; my lips shall not speak
wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. God forbid that I should justify you : till
I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, and
will not let it go : my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. Let mine
enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. For
what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his
soul ? Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him ? "
16604 "Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, Oh that I were as in months
past, as in the days when God preserved me ; when his candle shined upon my head,
and when by his light I walked through darkness ; as I was in the days of my youth,
when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle ; "
22812 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the
light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that
the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their
wound.
17010 "Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said, Shall he that contendeth with the
Almighty instruct him ? He that reproveth God, let him answer it. � Then Job
answered the Lord, and said, Behold, I am vile ; what shall I answer thee ? I will
lay mine hand upon my mouth. Once have I spoken ; but I will not answer : yea,
twice ; but I will proceed no further. "
22230 "Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with
a man�s pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz [in making speed to the spoil he
hasteneth the prey]. And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the
priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. And I went unto the prophetess ; and
she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher-
shalal-hash-baz. For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and
my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away
before the king of Assyria. � The Lord spake also unto me again, saying, Forasmuch
as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin
and Remaliah�s son ; 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 : and he
shall pass through Judah ; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to
the neck ; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land,
O Immanuel. � Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces ;
and give ear, all ye of far countries : gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in
pieces ; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together,
and it shall come to nought ; speak the word, and it shall not stand : for God is
with us. � 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, Say ye not, A confederacy, to
all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy ; neither fear ye their fear,
nor be afraid. "
25963 "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 ; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of
Benaiah, princes of the people. Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men
that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city : which say, It is not
near ; let us build houses : this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man. � And the Spirit of the
Lord fell upon me, and 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, every one
of them. Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets
thereof with the slain. Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Your slain whom ye have
laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron : but I
will bring you forth out of the midst of it. Ye have feared the sword ; and I will
bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God. And I will bring you out of the midst
thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments
among you. Ye shall fall by the sword ; I will judge you in the border of Israel ;
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. This city shall not be your caldron, neither
shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof ; but I will judge you in the border of
Israel : and ye shall know that I am the Lord : for ye have not walked in my
statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the
heathen that are round about you. � 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 "
23784 "Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Go and cry in the ears of
Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord ; I remember thee, the kindness of thy
youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness,
in a land that was not sown. "
24832 "Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he
was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Thus saith the Lord the maker
thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it ; the Lord is his name ; Call
unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou
knowest not. For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of
this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down
by the mounts, and by the sword ; 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. Behold, I
will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the
abundance of peace and truth. And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the
captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. 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, and whereby they have
transgressed against me. And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor
before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto
them : and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the
prosperity that I procure unto it. "
26351 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
25857 "Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Also, 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. Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger
upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee
all thine abominations. And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity
: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the
midst of thee : and ye shall know that I am the Lord. � Thus saith the Lord God ;
An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. "
26817 "Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face
against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord
God ; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand
against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. I will lay thy cities waste, and
thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. Because thou hast
had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the
force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity
had an end : therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto
blood, and blood shall pursue thee : since thou hast not hated blood, even blood
shall pursue thee. Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it
him that passeth out and him that returneth. And I will fill his mountains with his
slain men : in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they
fall that are slain with the sword. "
2567 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined
linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet : with cherubim of cunning work shalt thou
make them.
36418 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand ; by which also ye are saved, if
ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. � For
I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died
for our sins according to the Scriptures ; and that he was buried, and that he
rose again the third day according to the Scriptures : and that he was seen of
Cephas, then of the twelve : after that, he was seen of above five hundred
brethren at once ; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are
fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James ; then of all the apostles. And
last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. For I am the
least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I
persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am : and his
grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain ; but I labored more abundantly
than they all : yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore
whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. � Now if Christ be
preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no
resurrection of the dead ? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is
Christ not risen : and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your
faith is also vain. "
36236 "Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our
fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea ; and were all
baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea ; and did all eat the same
spiritual meat ; and did all drink the same spiritual drink ; for they drank of
that spiritual Rock that followed them : and that Rock was Christ. But with many of
them God was not well pleased : for they were overthrown in the wilderness. "
36680 "Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the
churches of Macedonia ; how that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of
their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. For
to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of
themselves ; praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take
upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. And this they did, not as
we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of
God. Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish
in you the same grace also. Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and
utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye
abound in this grace also. � I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the
forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. For ye know the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he
became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. And herein I give my advice
: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to
be forward a year ago. Now therefore perform the doing of it ; that as there was a
readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath,
and not according to that he hath not. For I mean not that other men be eased, and
ye burdened : but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a
supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want ;
that there may be equality : "
14758 "Moreover, Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem : and they
killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. And he set the
priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the
Lord, and 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 ; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders : serve now the Lord your
God, and his people Israel, and prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers,
after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according
to the writing of Solomon his son : and stand in the holy place according to the
divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the
division of the families of the Levites. So kill the passover, and sanctify
yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of
the Lord by the hand of Moses. � And Josiah gave to the people, of the flocks,
lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the
number "
26229 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, and say,
27169 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall
offer an oblation unto the Lord, a holy portion of the land : the length shall be
the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and

sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken ; are
ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day ?
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. "
20438 "mountains, and all hills ; fruitful trees, and all cedars : beasts, and all
cattle ; creeping things, and flying fowl : kings of the earth, and all people ;
princes, and all judges of the earth : both young men, and maidens ; old men, and
children : let them praise the name of the Lord : for his name alone is excellent ;
his glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people,
the praise of all his saints ; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto
him. Praise ye the Lord. "
20922 Much food is in the tillage of the poor : but there is that is destroyed for

the belly of the wicked shall want.
25169 "multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros,
answered Jeremiah, saying, As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the
name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do
whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own 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. 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. 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 men ? � Then Jeremiah said unto all the
people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him
that answer, saying, 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 ?
so that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and
because of the abominations which ye have committed ; therefore is your land a
desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this
day. 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 at
this day. � 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 : "
16676 My bowels boiled, and rested not : the days of affliction prevented me. I
went mourning without the sun : I stood up, and I cried in the congregation. I am a
brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones
are burned with heat. My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the
voice of them that weep.
16272 "My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. Are
there not mockers with me ? And doth not mine eye continue in their provocation ?
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee ; "
38430 "My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater
condemnation. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the
same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits
in the horses� mouths, that they may obey us ; and we turn about their whole body.
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce
winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor
listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold,
how great a matter a little fire kindleth ! � And the tongue is a fire, a world of
iniquity : so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and
setteth on fire the course of nature ; and it is set on fire of hell. For every
kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed,
and hath been tamed of mankind : but the tongue can no man tame ; it is an unruly
evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father ; and
therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the
same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so
to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter ? Can
the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries ? either a vine, figs ? so can no
fountain both yield salt water and fresh. "
38397 "My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory,
with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold
ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment ; and ye
have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here
in a good place ; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my
footstool : are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil
thoughts ? Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world
rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love
him ? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you
before the judgment seats ? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye
are called ? � If ye fulfil the royal law according to the Scripture, Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well : but if ye have respect to persons, ye
commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. For whosoever shall keep
the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said,
Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet
if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. "
17494 "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ? Why art thou so far from
helping me, and from the words of my roaring ? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but
thou hearest not ; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy, O
thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in thee : they
trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered :
they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. But I am a worm, and no man ; a
reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn
: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the Lord that
he would deliver him : let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. But thou
art he that took me out of the womb : thou didst make me hope when I was upon my
mother�s breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb : thou art my God from my
mother�s belly. Be not far from me ; for trouble is near ; for there is none to
help. "
17347 "my goodness extendeth not to thee ; but to the saints that are in the earth,
and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that hasten after another god : their drink offerings of blood will I not offer,
nor take up their names into my lips. The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance
and of my cup : thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant
places ; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me
counsel : my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord
always before me : because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore
my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall rest in hope. For
thou wilt not leave my soul in hell ; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to
see corruption. Thou wilt show me the path of life : in thy presence is fulness of
joy ; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. "
32016 "My head with oil thou didst not anoint : but this woman hath anointed my
feet with ointment. 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. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with
him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also ? And he
said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee ; go in peace. "
18030 "My heart is inditing a good matter : I speak of the things which I have made
touching the King : my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Thou art fairer than
the children of men : grace is poured into thy lips : therefore God hath blessed
thee for ever. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most Mighty, with thy glory and thy
majesty. And in thy majesty ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness and
righteousness ; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. Thine arrows
are sharp in the heart of the King�s enemies ; whereby the people fall under thee.
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever : the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right
sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness : therefore God, thy God,
hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. All thy garments
smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have
made thee glad. Kings� daughters were among thy honorable women : upon thy right
hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and
incline thine ear ; forget also thine own people, and thy father�s house ; so shall
the King greatly desire thy beauty : "
38752 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if
any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous : and
he is the propitiation for our sins : and not for ours only, but also for the sins
of the whole world.
36500 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. 24
25144 "my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid ; and
he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. And when he cometh, he shall smite
the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death ; and such as are for
captivity to captivity ; and such as are for the sword to the sword. 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. He
shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh [the house of the sun], that is in the
land of Egypt ; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with
fire. "
20601 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding : that
thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
20526 "My son, forget not my law ; but let thine heart keep my commandments : for
length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. "
20473 "My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy
mother : for they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy
neck. My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, Come with us,
let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause : let
us swallow them up alive as the grave ; and whole, as those that go down into the
pit : we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil : "
20640 "My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand
with a stranger, thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with
the words of thy mouth. Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art
come into the hand of thy friend ; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. Deliver thyself as a
roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. Go to
the ant, thou sluggard ; consider her ways, and be wise : which having no guide,
overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the
harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard ? When wilt thou arise out of thy
sleep ? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to
sleep : so shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth, "
20507 "My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee ;
so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to
understanding ; yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for
understanding ; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid
treasures ; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge
of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom : out of his mouth cometh knowledge and
understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous : he is a buckler to
them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way
of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity ;
yea, every good path. "
20678 "My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Keep my
commandments, and live ; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy
fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my
sister ; and call understanding thy kinswoman : "
20659 "My son, keep thy father�s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother
: bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou
goest, it shall lead thee ; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee ; and when thou
awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp ; and the law is
light ; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life : to keep thee from the
evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her
beauty in thine heart ; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. "
16070 "My soul is weary of my life ; I will leave my complaint upon myself ; I will
speak in the bitterness of my soul. I will say unto God, Do not condemn me ; show
me wherefore thou contendest with me. 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 ? Hast thou eyes of flesh ? Or seest thou as man seeth ? Are
thy days as the days of man ? Are thy years as man�s days, that thou inquirest
after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin ? Thou knowest that I am not wicked
; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand. Thine hands have made me
and fashioned me together round about ; yet thou dost destroy me. Remember, I
beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay ; and wilt thou bring me into dust
again ? Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese ? Thou hast
clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. Thou hast
granted me life and favor, "
17750 "My soul shall make her boast in the Lord : the humble shall hear thereof,
and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I
sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked
unto him, and were lightened : and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man
cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of
the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and
see that the Lord is good : blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the
Lord, ye his saints : for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions
do lack, and suffer hunger : but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good
thing. Come, ye children, hearken unto me : I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good ?
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and
do good ; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,
and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the Lord is against them that do
evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and
the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh
unto them that are of a broken heart ; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous : "
6897 "my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass : because I will publish the name of the Lord :
ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect : for all
his ways are judgment : a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children : they
are a perverse and crooked generation. Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish
people and unwise ? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee ? Hath he not made
thee, and established thee ? Remember the days of old, consider the years of many
generations : ask thy father, and he will show thee ; thy elders, and they will
tell thee. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he
separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number
of the children of Israel. For the Lord�s portion is his people ; Jacob is the lot
of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling
wilderness ; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his
eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad
her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings : so the Lord alone did lead him,

hear and help. 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 from them, and destroyed them not ; behold, I say, how they reward us,
to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit. 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. �
And all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their
children. Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of
Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the
Lord in the midst of the congregation ; and he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye
inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you,
Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude ; for the battle is
not yours, but God�s. Tomorrow go ye down against them : behold, they come up by
the cliff of Ziz ; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the
wilderness of Jeruel. 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 will be
with you. � And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground : and all
Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the
Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high. �
And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa :
and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and "
14110 "name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God ; let not man
prevail against thee. So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah
; and the Ethiopians fled. And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them
unto Gerar : and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover
themselves ; for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before his host ; and
they carried away very much spoil. And they smote all the cities round about
Gerar ; for the fear of the Lord came upon them : and they spoiled all the cities ;
for there was exceeding much spoil in them. They smote also the tents of cattle,
and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. "

27398 "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. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the
princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the
counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the
dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Then the princes,
the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, 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. "

sought that which was lost ; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd : and they became meat to all
the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all
the mountains, and upon every high hill : yea, my flock was scattered upon all the
face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. � Therefore, ye
shepherds, hear the word of the Lord ; As I live, saith the Lord God, surely
because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the
field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock,
but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock ; therefore, O ye shepherds,
hear the word of the Lord ; Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I am against the
shepherds ; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from
feeding the flock ; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more ; for I
will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. � For
thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek
them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep
that are scattered ; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all
places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. And I will bring
them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them
to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in
all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in a good pasture, and
upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be : there shall they lie in a
good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. I
will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. "
6841 "Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the
sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it ? But the word is
very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. �
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil ; in that I
command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep
his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, that thou mayest live and
multiply : and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to
possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be
drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them ; I denounce unto you this day,
that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land,
whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to
record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing
and cursing : therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live : that
thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that
thou mayest 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. "
23935 "Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that
giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season : he reserveth unto us
the appointed weeks of the harvest. Your iniquities have turned away these things,
and your sins have withholden good things from you. For among my people are found
wicked men : they lay wait, as he that setteth snares ; they set a trap, they catch
men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit : therefore
they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine : yea, they
overpass the deeds of the wicked : they judge not the cause, the cause of the
fatherless, yet they prosper ; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall
I not visit for these things ? saith the Lord : shall not my soul be avenged on
such a nation as this ? � A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land ;
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 ? "
5749 "Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe ; but
every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own
inheritance. � Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad
: for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of
Zelophehad, were married unto their father�s brothers� sons : and they were married
into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance
remained in the tribe of the family of their father. � 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 Jordan near Jericho. "
26914 "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. � And David my servant
shall be king over them ; and they all shall have one shepherd : they shall also
walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in
the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt ;
and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children�s
children for ever : and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. 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. My tabernacle also shall be with them : yea, I will be
their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the Lord
do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. "
27167 "Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away :
but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had
a priest before. And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy
and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. And in
controversy they shall stand in judgment ; and they shall judge it according to my
judgments : and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies ;
and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 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. And
after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days. And in the day that he
goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he
shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord God. � And it shall be unto them for
an inheritance ; I am their inheritance : and ye shall give them no possession in
Israel ; I am their possession. They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin
offering, and the trespass offering ; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be
theirs. And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of
all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest�s : ye shall also give
unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in
thine house. The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or
torn, whether it be fowl or beast. "
6074 "Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a
cursed thing like it : but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly
abhor it ; for it is a cursed thing. "
20982 "neither will he go unto the wise. A merry heart maketh a cheerful
countenance : but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. The heart of him
that hath understanding seeketh knowledge : but the mouth of fools feedeth on
foolishness. All the days of the afflicted are evil : but he that is of a merry
heart hath a continual feast. Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than
great treasure and trouble therewith. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,
than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. A wrathful man stirreth up strife : but he
that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. The way of the slothful man is as a hedge
of thorns : but the way of the righteous is made plain. A wise son maketh a glad
father : but a foolish man despiseth his mother. Folly is joy to him that is
destitute of wisdom : but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. Without counsel
purposes are disappointed : but in the multitude of counselors they are
established. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth : and a word spoken in due
season, how good is it ! The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart
from hell beneath. The Lord will destroy the house of the proud : but he will
establish the border of the widow. The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to
the Lord : but the words of the pure are pleasant words. He that is greedy of gain
troubleth his own house ; but he that hateth gifts shall live. The heart of the
righteous studieth to answer : but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
The Lord is far from the wicked : but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. "
35622 "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not
sinned after the similitude of Adam�s transgression, who is the figure of him that
was to come. � But not as the offense, so also is the free gift : for if through
the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,
which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by
one that sinned, so is the gift : for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but
the free gift is of many offenses unto justification. For if by one man�s offense
death reigned by one ; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) � Therefore, as by
the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation ; even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
For as by one man�s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one
shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offense might
abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound : that as sin hath
reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal
life by Jesus Christ our Lord. "
19516 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry : and he
remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his
mercies. He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto
thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from
everlasting to everlasting : and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.
35380 "Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship,
more than those things which were spoken by Paul. And because the haven was not

means they might attain to Phoenix, and there to winter ; which is a haven of
Crete, and lieth toward the southwest and northwest. "
22246 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at
the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, and
afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in
Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light

shined.

the service of the kingdoms of the countries. � So Shishak king of Egypt came up
against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the
treasures of the king�s house ; he took all : he carried away also the shields of
gold which Solomon had made. Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass,
and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance
of the king�s house. And when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the
guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber. And
when he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, that he would not
destroy him altogether : and also in Judah things went well. � So king Rehoboam
strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned : for Rehoboam was one and forty
years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the
city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name
there. And his mother�s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And he did evil, because he
prepared not his heart to seek the Lord. � Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and
last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the
seer concerning genealogies ? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam
continually. And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of
David : and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. "
17697 nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto
thee. O love the Lord, all ye his saints : for the Lord preserveth the faithful,
and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.

3967 "no man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest 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. He shall eat the bread of his God, both of
the most holy, and of the holy. 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 the Lord do sanctify them. And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons,
and unto all the children of Israel. "
16601 "No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls : for the price of wisdom is
above rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued
with pure gold. Whence then cometh wisdom ? And where is the place of understanding
? seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of
the air. Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. For he looketh
to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven ; to make the weight for
the winds ; and he weigheth the waters by measure. When he made a decree for the
rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder ; then did he see it, and declare
it ; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. And unto man he said, Behold, the
fear of the Lord, that is wisdom ; and to depart from evil is understanding. "
38 Noah Makes the Ark
121 Noah�s Drunkenness
29657 Not Peace, but a Sword
37310 Not that I speak in respect of want : for I have learned, in whatsoever state
I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to
abound : every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be
hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me. � Notwithstanding, ye have well done, that ye did communicate
with my affliction. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the
gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as
concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once
and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift : but I desire fruit that
may abound to your account. But I have all, and abound : I am full, having received
of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a
sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now unto God and our Father be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
36570 "not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves ;
but our sufficiency is of God ; who also hath made us able ministers of the new
testament ; not of the letter, but of the spirit : for the letter killeth, but the
spirit giveth life. � But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in
stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold
the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance ; which glory was to be done
away ; how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious ? For if the
ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of
righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory
in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done
away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. � Seeing then that
we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech : and not as Moses, which put a
veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the
end of that which is abolished : but their minds were blinded : for until this day
remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament ; which
veil is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil
is upon their heart. Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall
be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit : and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of
the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the
Spirit of the Lord. "
5088 not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee
with the sword. And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high
way : and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it : I will
only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet. And he said, Thou shalt
not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong
hand. Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border : wherefore
Israel turned away from him.
19698 "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy
mercy, and for thy truth�s sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now
their God ? But our God is in the heavens : he hath done whatsoever he hath
pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men�s hands. They have
mouths, but they speak not : eyes have they, but they see not : they have ears, but
they hear not : noses have they, but they smell not : they have hands, but they
handle not : feet have they, but they walk not : neither speak they through their
throat. They that make them are like unto them ; so is every one that trusteth in
them. O Israel, trust thou in the Lord : he is their help and their shield. O
house of Aaron, trust in the Lord : he is their help and their shield. Ye that fear
the Lord, trust in the Lord : he is their help and their shield. The Lord hath been
mindful of us : "
39028 "Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest
that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my
servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave
her space to repent of her fornication ; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast
her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death ; and
all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts : and
I will give unto every one of you according to your works. But unto you I say, and
unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not
known the depths of Satan, as they speak ; I will put upon you none other burden.
But that which ye have already, hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and
keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations : and he
shall rule them with a rod of iron ; as the vessels of a potter shall they be
broken to shivers : even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the
morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches. "
4126 "Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of
their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. And if a man purchase of the
Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out
in the year of jubilee : for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their
possession among the children of Israel. But the field of the suburbs of their
cities may not be sold ; for it is their perpetual possession. � And if thy brother
be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee ; then thou shalt relieve him : yea,
though he be a stranger, or a sojourner ; that he may live with thee. Take thou no
usury of him, or increase : but fear thy God ; that thy brother may live with thee.
Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for
increase. I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt,
to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. � And if thy brother that
dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee ; thou shalt not compel him
to serve as a bondservant : but as a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be
with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee : and then shall he depart
from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family,
and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. For they are my servants,
which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt : they shall not be sold as bondmen.
Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor ; but shalt fear thy God. Both thy bondmen,
and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round
about you ; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 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 begat in your land : and they shall be your
possession. "
10620 "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. And they passed over Jordan,
and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the
river of Gad, and toward Jazer : then they came to Gilead, and to the land of
Tahtim-hodshi ; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon, and came to the
stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites :
and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beer-sheba. So when they had gone
through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty
days. And Joab gave up the sum of the number 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. � 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 : and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the
iniquity of thy servant ; for I have done very foolishly. For when David was up in
the morning, the word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, David�s seer, saying,
Go and say unto David, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things ; choose thee
one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 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 thine enemies, while they pursue thee ? or that there
be three days� pestilence in thy land ? now advise, and see what answer I shall
return to him that sent me. 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. "
32217 "Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto
you ; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. "
11154 "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. Howbeit I will not rend away all the
kingdom ; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant�s sake, and for
Jerusalem�s sake which I have chosen. � And the Lord stirred up an adversary unto
Solomon, Hadad the Edomite : he was of the king�s seed in Edom. For it came to
pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury
the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom ; (for six months did Joab
remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom :) that Hadad
fled, he and certain Edomites of his father�s servants with him, to go into Egypt ;
Hadad being yet a little child. 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 a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife
the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. And the sister of
Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh�s house : and
Genubath was in Pharaoh�s household among the sons of Pharaoh. 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.
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 go
in any wise. � And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah,
which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah : and he gathered men unto him,
and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah : and they went to
Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus. "
33643 "Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and
her sister Martha. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Therefore his
sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. When
Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of
God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. � Now Jesus loved Martha, and
her sister, and Lazarus. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two
days still in the same place where he was. Then after that saith he to his
disciples, Let us go into Judea again. His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews
of late sought to stone thee ; and goest thou thither again ? Jesus answered, Are
there not twelve hours in the day ? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not,
because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he
stumbleth, because there is no light in him. These things said he : and after that
he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth ; but I go, that I may awake him
out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit
Jesus spake of his death : but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in
sleep. "
34691 "Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain
of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because
he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the
days of unleavened bread.) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison,
and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him ; intending after
Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison : but
prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. "
7798 "Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel
asked the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to
fight against them ? And the Lord said, Judah shall go up : behold, I have
delivered the land into his hand. 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. And Judah went up ; and the
Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand : and they slew of
them in Bezek ten thousand men. And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek : and they
fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites. But Adoni-
bezek fled ; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and
his great toes. 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 there he died. "
7013 "Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass, that
the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses� minister, saying, 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.
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto
you, as I said unto Moses. 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 coast. 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. Be strong and of a good
courage : for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which
I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous,
that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant
commanded thee : turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou
mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 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. Have not I commanded
thee ? Be strong and of a good courage ; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed :
for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. "
15004 "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, the son of Shallum, the son
of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of
Meraioth, the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, the son of
Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest
: this Ezra went up from Babylon ; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses,
which the Lord God of Israel had given : and the king granted him all his request,
according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him. � 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. And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of
the king. 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. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the
Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments. � Now this is
the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the
scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the Lord, and of his
statutes to Israel. Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of
the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time. I make a decree,
that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm,
which are minded of their own free will to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee. "
13350 "Now 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. � And
he smote Moab ; and the Moabites became David�s servants, and brought gifts. "
18594 "Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not ; until I have
showed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to
come. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things : O
God, who is like unto thee ! Thou, which hast showed me great and sore troubles,
shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. I will also praise
thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God : unto thee will I sing with the
harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto
thee ; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. My tongue also shall talk of thy
righteousness all the day long : for they are confounded, for they are brought unto
shame, that seek my hurt. "
37840 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the
truth : men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall
proceed no further : for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also
was.
36188 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have
knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he
knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love
God, the same is known of him. � As concerning therefore the eating of those things
that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the
world, and that there is none other God but one.
33780 "Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew 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. And supper being ended, the devil
having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon�s son, to betray him ; Jesus
knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come
from God, and went to God ; he riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments ;
and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a basin, and
began to wash the disciples� feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was
girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter : and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou
wash my feet ? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now ;
but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.
Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter
saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith
to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every
whit : and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him ; therefore
said he, Ye are not all clean. � So after he had washed their feet, and had taken
his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done
to you ? "
12995 Now Benjamin begat Bela his firstborn, Ashbel the second, and Aharah the
third, Nohah the fourth, and Rapha the fifth. And the sons of Bela were, Addar, and
Gera, and Abihud, and Abishua, and Naaman, and Ahoah, and Gera, and Shephuphan, and
Huram.
33711 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that,
if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.
36322 "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye
know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were
led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God
calleth Jesus accursed : and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the
Holy Ghost. � Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there
are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of
operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation
of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the
Spirit the word of wisdom ; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit ;
to another faith by the same Spirit ; to another the gifts of healing by the same
Spirit ; to another the working of miracles ; to another prophecy ; to another
discerning of spirits ; to another divers kinds of tongues ; to another the
interpretation of tongues : "
36468 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the
churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of
you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings
when I come. And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them
will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. And if it be meet that I go
also, they shall go with me.
36142 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me : It is good for a man not
to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own
wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the
wife due benevolence : and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
38247 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that
the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear. � By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent
sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God
testifying of his gifts : and by it he being dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was
translated that he should not see death ; and was not found, because God had
translated him : for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased
God. But without faith it is impossible to please him : for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek
him. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,
prepared an ark to the saving of his house ; by the which he condemned the world,
and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. "
28508 "Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops : he hath laid siege
against us : they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. � But
thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet
out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel ; whose
goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Therefore will he give them
up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth : then the remnant
of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. And he shall stand and
feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God ;
and they shall abide : for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. � And
this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land : and when
he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and
eight principal men. And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and
the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof : thus shall he deliver us from the
Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. �
And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the
Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the
sons of men. "
13206 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with
masons and carpenters, to build him a house. And David perceived that the Lord had
confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of
his people Israel.
36728 "Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who
in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you : but I beseech
you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I
think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the
flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh : (for the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down
of strongholds ;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth
itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to
the obedience of Christ ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience,
when your obedience is fulfilled. � Do ye look on things after the outward
appearance ? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ�s, let him of himself
think this again, that, as he is Christ�s, even so are we Christ�s. For though I
should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for
edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed : that I may not
seem as if I would terrify you by letters. For his letters, say they, are weighty
and powerful ; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. Let
such a one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent,
such will we be also in deed when we are present. For we dare not make ourselves of
the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves : but they,
measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are
not wise. "
36912 "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a
servant, though he be lord of all ; "
35688 "Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that
dwelleth in me. � I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present
with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man : but I see another
law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into
captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am ! who
shall deliver me from the body of this death ? I thank God through Jesus Christ our
Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God ; but with the flesh the
law of sin. "
14058 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
11317 "Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam
over Judah. Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother�s name was Maachah,
the daughter of Abishalom. 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. 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 :
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. And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam
all the days of his life. Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did,
are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? And
there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. And Abijam slept with his fathers ; and
they buried him in the city of David : and Asa his son reigned in his stead. "
31713 "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate
being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother
Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the
tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God
came unto John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. And he came into all the
country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins
; as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The
voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, "
14838 "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by
the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus
king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it
also in writing, saying, � Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven
hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth ; and he hath charged me to build him a
house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people ?
his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build
the house of the Lord God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. And
whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help
him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the
freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem. "
15764 "Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of
the same, when the king�s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in
execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them ;
(though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated
them,) 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 fell upon all people. And all the
rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the
king, helped the Jews ; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them. For Mordecai
was great in the king�s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces :
for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater. Thus the Jews smote all their
enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what
they would unto those that hated them. And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and
destroyed five hundred men. And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, and
Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and
Vajezatha, the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew
they ; but on the spoil laid they not their hand. � On that day the number of those
that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king. "
15390 "Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were
assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them. And the seed of
Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins,
and the iniquities of their fathers. And they stood up in their place, and read in
the book of the law of the Lord their God one fourth part of the day ; and another
fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the Lord their God. 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. Then the
Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and
Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the Lord your God for ever and ever : and
blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. �
Thou, even thou, art Lord alone ; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens,
with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all
that is therein, and thou preservest them all ; and the host of heaven worshippeth
thee. "
9750 "Now 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 ; 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. And David said unto him, From
whence comest thou ? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
And David said unto him, How went the matter ? I pray thee, tell me. And he
answered, That 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. And David said unto
the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be
dead ? And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount
Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear ; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen
followed hard after him. And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto
me. And I answered, Here am I. And he said unto me, Who art thou ? And I answered
him, I am an Amalekite. He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and
slay me : for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. So I
stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that
he was fallen : and I took the crown that "
13382 "Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of
Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. And David said, I will show kindness
unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David
sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came
into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him. But the princes of
the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor 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 ? Wherefore Hanun
took David�s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst
hard by their buttocks, and sent them away. 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. � 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 Syria-maachah, and out of
Zobah. "
15584 "Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which
reigned from India even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred and seven and twenty
provinces,) that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his
kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace, 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 : when he showed the riches
of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even a
hundred and fourscore days. And when these days were expired, the king made a feast
unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and
small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king�s palace ; where were
white, green, and blue hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to
silver rings and pillars of marble : the beds were of gold and silver, upon a
pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black marble. And they gave them drink in
vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in
abundance, according to the state of the king. And the drinking was according to
the law ; none did compel : for so the king had appointed to all the officers of
his house, that they should do according to every man�s pleasure. Also Vashti the
queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king
Ahasuerus. "
8610 "Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a
famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the
country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 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. And Elimelech Naomi�s husband died ; and she was left, and her
two sons. 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 dwelt there about ten years. And
Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them ; and the woman was left of her two sons
and her husband. � 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. Wherefore 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. And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-
law, Go, return each to her mother�s house : the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye
have dealt with the dead, and with me. 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. "
22935 "Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that
Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defensed cities of Judah, and
took them. And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh 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. Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah�s son,
which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph�s son, the
recorder. � And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the
great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest ? I
say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war
: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me ? Lo, thou trustest
in the staff of this broken reed, on 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 in him. But
if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God : is it not he, whose high places
and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye
shall worship before this altar ? Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, 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. How then wilt thou turn away the face of
one captain of the least of my master�s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for
chariots and for horsemen ? 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. "
25070 Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah
the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men
with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of
12356 "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. Twenty and five years
old was he when he began to reign ; and he reigned twenty and nine years in
Jerusalem. His mother�s name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. And he did
that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his
father did. He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the
groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made : for unto those
days the children of Israel did burn incense to it : and he called it Nehushtan [a
piece of brass]. He trusted in the Lord God of Israel ; so that after him was none
like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. For he clave
to the Lord, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which
the Lord commanded Moses. And the Lord was with him ; and he prospered
whithersoever he went forth : and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and
served him not. He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof,
from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. "
25713 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth
day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the
heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. In the fifth day of the month, which
was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin�s captivity, 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. � And I looked,
and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding
itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of
amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the
likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance ; they had the
likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 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 color of burnished brass. And they had the
hands of a man under their wings on their four sides ; and they four had their
faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another ; they turned not
when they went ; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their
faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side :
and they four had the face of an ox on the left side ; they four also had the face
of an eagle. "
15687 "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 gate of
the house. And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court,
that she obtained favor 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. Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther ? and what is
thy request ? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom. And Esther
answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto
the banquet that I have prepared for him. Then the king said, Cause Haman to make
haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the
banquet that Esther had prepared. And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of
wine, What is thy petition ? and it shall be granted thee : and what is thy request
? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed. Then answered Esther, and
said, My petition and my request is ; If I have found favor 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. "
9090 "Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the
young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines�
garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father. And Saul tarried
in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron : and
the people that were with him were about six hundred men ; and Ahiah, the son of
Ahitub, Ichabod�s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord�s priest
in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. And
between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines�
garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one "
13321 "Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan
the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the
Lord remaineth under curtains. Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine
heart ; for God is with thee. � And it came to pass the same night, that the word
of God came to Nathan, saying, Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord,
Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in : for I have not dwelt in a 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. Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel,
spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people,
saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedars ? "
7287 "Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had 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 ; 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. 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, Come up unto me, and
help me, that we may smite Gibeon : for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the
children of Israel. 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 "
15284 "Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and
the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no
breach left therein ; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the
gates ;) that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together
in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me
mischief. 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 ? Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort ; and I answered them after
the same manner. Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth
time with an open letter in his hand ; wherein was written, It is reported among
the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel : for which
cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these
words. 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.
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but
thou feignest them out of thine own heart. "
15310 "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, that I gave my
brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem : for
he was a faithful man, and feared God above many. And I said unto them, Let not the
gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot ; and while they stand by, let
them shut the doors, and bar them : and appoint watches of the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house. Now
the city was large and great : but the people were few therein, and the houses were
not builded. "
11742 "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. And he
wrought evil in the sight of the Lord ; but not like his father, and like his
mother : for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made. Nevertheless
he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin ;
he departed not therefrom. "
14185 "Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and joined affinity with
Ahab. And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed
sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and
persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead. 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. � And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at
the word of the Lord today. Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of
prophets 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 will deliver it into
the king�s hand. But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord
besides, that we might inquire of him ? 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 prophesied good unto me, but always evil : the same is Micaiah
the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. And the king of
Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of
Imla. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on
his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in
of the gate of Samaria ; and all the prophets prophesied before them. And Zedekiah
the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the Lord,
With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed. "
14285 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in
the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. 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.
8220 "Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of
a harlot : and Gilead begat Jephthah. And Gilead�s wife bare him sons ; and his
wife�s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt
not inherit in our father�s house ; for thou art the son of a strange woman. Then
Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob : and there were
gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him. � And it came to pass in
process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel. 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 : and they said unto Jephthah, Come, and
be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. And Jephthah said
unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father�s
house ? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress ? And the elders of
Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go
with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the
inhabitants of Gilead. And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me
home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the Lord deliver them before
me, shall I be your head ? "
7138 "Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel : none
went out, and none came in. And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into
thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor. And ye shall
compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt
thou do six days. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of
rams� horns : and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the
priests shall blow with the trumpets. And it shall come to pass, that when they
make a long blast with the ram�s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet,
all the people shall shout with a great shout ; and the wall of the city shall fall
down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. "
33678 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha
met him. The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when
they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She
goeth unto the grave to weep there. Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and
saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also
weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, and said,
Where have ye laid him ? They say unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then
said the Jews, Behold how he loved him ! And some of them said, Could not this man,
which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have
died ?
10191 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king�s heart was toward
Absalom.
7396 "Now Joshua was old and stricken in years ; and the Lord said unto him, Thou
art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be
possessed. This is the land that yet remaineth : all the borders of the
Philistines, and all Geshuri, from Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the
borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite : five lords of the
Philistines ; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites,
and the Ekronites ; also the Avites : from the south, all the land of the
Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of
the Amorites : and the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon toward the sunrising,
from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath. All the inhabitants
of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, and all the Sidonians, them
will I drive out from before the children of Israel : only divide thou it by lot
unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. � Now therefore
divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of
Manasseh, with whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance,
which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the
Lord gave them ; "
10650 "Now king David was old and stricken in years ; and they covered him with
clothes, but he gat no heat. 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
let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get
heat. So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and
found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. And the damsel was very
fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him : but the king knew her not. "
4925 "Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan
and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took
men : and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two
hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of
renown : and they gathered 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 congregation of the Lord ? And when Moses heard it, he fell
upon his face : and he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even
tomorrow the Lord will show who are his, and who is holy ; and "
1733 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian :
and he led the flock to the back side of the desert, and came to the mountain of
God, even to Horeb. 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.
11832 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with
his master, and honorable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria
: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper.
33811 "Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. For
some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy
those things that we have need of against the feast ; or, that he should give
something to the poor. He then, having received the sop, went immediately out ; and
it was night. "
38144 "Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum : We have such a high
priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens ;
"
15073 "Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in
the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest ; and with
him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas ; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua,
and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites ; by number and by weight of every one : and
all the weight was written at that time. � Also the children of those that had been
carried away, which were come out of the captivity, 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. And they delivered the king�s commissions unto the king�s
lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river : and they furthered the
people, and the house of God. "
24378 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the
house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things. Then Pashur smote
Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of
Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord. And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him,
The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib [fear round about].
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 into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labors thereof,
and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah
will I give into the hand of their

being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother�s womb was carried,
whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask
alms of them that entered into the temple ; who, seeing Peter and John about to go
into the temple, asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John,
said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of
them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none ; but such as I have give I thee
: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the
right hand, and lifted him up : and immediately his feet and ankle bones received
strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the
temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking
and praising God : and they knew 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. "
296 Now Sarai, Abram�s wife, bare him no children : and she had a handmaid, an
Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
13614 Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and
captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any
matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the
months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand. � Over the first
course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel : and in his course
were twenty and four thousand. Of the children of Perez was the chief of all the
captains of the host for the first month. And over the course of the second month
was Dodai an Ahohite, and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler : in his course
likewise were twenty and four thousand. The third captain of the host for the third
month was Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest : and in his course were
twenty and four thousand. This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty,
and above the thirty : and in his course was Ammizabad his son. 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. The fifth captain for the fifth
month was Shamhuth the Izrahite : and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite : and
in his course were twenty and four thousand.
5559 "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 ; 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, Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah,
and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, even the country which
the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy
servants have cattle : "
10709 "Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die ; and he charged Solomon
his son, saying, I go the way of all the earth : be thou strong therefore, and show
thyself a man ; "
32865 "Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the passover.
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him ; for they feared
the people. � Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number
of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and
captains, how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to
give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in
the absence of the multitude. "
35929 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward
another according to Christ Jesus : that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify
God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
199 "Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and from thy father�s house, unto a land that I will show thee : and I
will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great ;
and thou shalt be a blessing : and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him
that curseth thee : and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. � So
Abram departed, 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. 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. And Abram passed
through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the
Canaanite was then in the land. 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. And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of
Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east : and
there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord. And
Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. "
8577 "Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us
give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife. And the people came to the house of God,
and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore ;
and said, O Lord God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there
should be today one tribe lacking in Israel ? 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. And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the
tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the Lord ? For they
had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the Lord to Mizpeh,
saying, He shall surely be put to death. And the children of Israel repented them
for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this
day. 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 ? � And they said, What
one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the Lord ? And,
behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly. For the
people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-
gilead there. 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 children. And this is the
thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that
hath lain by man. And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four
hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any "
9722 "Now the Philistines fought against Israel : and the men of Israel fled from
before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. And the Philistines
followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons ; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and
Abinadab, and Melchi-shua, Saul�s sons. And the battle went sore against Saul, and
the archers hit him ; and he was sore wounded of the archers. "
13071 "Now the Philistines fought against Israel ; and the men of Israel fled from
before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. "
9670 "Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek : and the
Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel. And the lords of the
Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands : but David and his men passed
on in the rearward with Achish. 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 unto me unto
this day ? And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him ; and the princes
of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to
his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle,
lest in the battle he be an "
9234 "Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were
gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh
and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim. And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together,
and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the
Philistines. And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel
stood on a mountain on the other side : and there was a valley between them. 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. And he had a helmet of brass upon his
head, and he was armed with a coat of mail ; and the weight of the coat was five
thousand shekels of brass. And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target
of brass between his shoulders. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver�s beam
; and his spear�s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron : and one bearing a
shield went before him. 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. If
he be able to fight with me, and to 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. "
1730 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters : and they came and drew water,
and filled the troughs to water their father�s flock. And the shepherds came and
drove them away : but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And
when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon
today ? And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds,
and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock. 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. And Moses was content to dwell with the man : and he gave Moses
Zipporah his daughter. And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom [a
stranger there] : for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. � And it
came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died : and the children of
Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto
God by reason of the bondage. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children
of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
17 "Now the serpent was more subtile 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
every tree of the garden ? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden : 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. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die : for
God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and
ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired
to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her ; and he did eat. 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. "
12946 "Now the sons of Issachar were, Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimrom, four.
And the sons of Tola ; Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and
Shemuel, heads of their father�s house, to wit, of Tola : they were valiant men of
might in their generations ; whose number was in the days of David two and twenty
thousand and six hundred. And the sons of Uzzi ; Izrahiah : and the sons of
Izrahiah ; Michael, and Obadiah, and Joel, Ishiah, five : all of them chief men.
And with them, by their generations, after the house of their fathers, were bands
of soldiers for war, six and thirty thousand men : for they had many wives and
sons. And their brethren among all the families of Issachar were valiant men of
might, reckoned in all by their genealogies fourscore and seven thousand. "
12842 "Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn ;
but, forasmuch as he defiled his father�s bed, his birthright was given unto the
sons of Joseph the son of Israel : and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after
the birthright. For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief
ruler ; but the birthright was Joseph�s :) the sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn
of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. "
37701 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils ;
speaking lies in hypocrisy ; having their conscience seared with a hot iron ;
forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created
to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For
every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with
thanksgiving : for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. "
28367 "Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise,
go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it ; for their wickedness is come
up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the
Lord, and went down to Joppa ; and he 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. � 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. Then the
mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares
that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down
into the sides of the ship ; and he lay, and was fast asleep. 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. � 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. 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 ? And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew ; and I fear the Lord,
the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. Then were the men
exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this ? For the men knew
that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. "
11783 "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 sons
to be bondmen. 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. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy
neighbors, even empty vessels ; borrow not a few. And when thou art come in, thou
shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those
vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. So she went from him, and
shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her ; and she
poured out. 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. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the
oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. "
8716 "Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his
name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of
Zuph, an Ephrathite : 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. � And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice
unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the
priests of the Lord, were there. And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he
gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions : but
unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion ; for he loved Hannah : but the Lord had shut
up her womb. And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret,
because the Lord had shut up her womb. 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. Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou ? and why
eatest thou not ? and why is thy heart grieved ? am not I better to thee than ten
sons ? � So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had
drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the Lord. And
she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. And she
vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction
of thine handmaid, and remember "
8944 "Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the
son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of
power. And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice 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. � 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. And he passed through mount
Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not : then
they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not : and he passed
through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not. � And 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. And
he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an
honorable man ; all that he saith cometh surely to pass : now let us go thither ;
peradventure he can show us our way that we should go. "
8562 "Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in
wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city. And
when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of
the men of Israel about thirty persons : for they said, Surely they are smitten
down before us, as in the first battle. But when the flame began to arise up out of
the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold,
the flame of the city ascended up to heaven. And when the men of Israel turned
again, the men of Benjamin were amazed : for they saw that evil was come upon them.
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the
wilderness ; but the battle overtook them ; and them which came out of the cities
they destroyed in the midst of them. Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about,
and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the
sunrising. And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men ; all these were men of
valor. 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 pursued hard after
them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. So that all which fell that day
of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword ; all these were
men of valor. But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock
Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months. And the men of Israel turned
again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as
well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand : also they set
on fire all the cities that they came to. "
9824 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David : but
David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
34723 "Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and
teachers ; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and
Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 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. And when they had fasted and
prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. "
1785 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou
shalt say. And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou
wilt send. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not
Aaron the Levite thy brother ? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he
cometh forth to meet thee : and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth : and I will be with thy
mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. And he shall be thy
spokesman unto the people : and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a
mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. And thou shalt take this rod in
thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
5903 "Now therefore hearken, O Israel, 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 God of your fathers giveth you. Ye shall not add unto the word which
I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. 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 among you. But ye that did cleave unto the Lord
your God are alive every one of you this day. Behold, I have taught you statutes
and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the
land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them ; for this is your
wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all
these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding
people. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the
Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for ? And what nation is there
so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I
set before you this day ? "
7080 "Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every
tribe a man. And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the
priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the
waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that
come down from above ; and they shall stand upon a heap. � And it came to pass,
when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests
bearing the ark of the covenant before the people ; and as they that bare the ark
were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in
the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of
harvest,) that the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon a heap
very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan ; and those that came down
toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off : and the
people passed over right against Jericho. 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 the
Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over
Jordan. "
13334 "Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord
of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou
shouldest be ruler over my people Israel : and I have been with thee whithersoever
thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have
made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth. Also I will
ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in
their place, and shall be moved no more ; neither shall the children of wickedness
waste them any more, as at the beginning, and since the time that I commanded
judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies.
Furthermore I tell thee, that the Lord will build thee a house. And it shall come
to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I
will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons ; and I will
establish his kingdom. He shall build me a house, and I will stablish his throne
for ever. 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 : but I will settle
him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever : and his throne shall be established
for evermore. According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so
did Nathan speak unto David. � And David the king came and sat before the Lord, and
said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me
hitherto ? And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God ; for thou hast also
spoken of thy servant�s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me
according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God. What can David speak
more to thee for the honor of thy servant ? for thou knowest thy servant. "
7284 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being
bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God. 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 of
our lives because of you, and have done this thing. And now, behold, we are in
thine hand : as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. And so did
he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that
they slew them not. And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of
water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, in
the place which he should choose.
1470 "Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a
bondman to my lord ; and let the lad go up with his brethren. For how shall I go up
to my father, and the lad be not with me ? lest peradventure I see the evil that
shall come on my father. "
5174 "Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know
what the Lord will say unto me more. And God came unto Balaam at night, and said
unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them ; but yet the
word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do. "
782 "Now therefore, my son, obey my voice ; and arise, flee thou to Laban my
brother to Haran ; and tarry with him a few days, until thy brother�s fury turn
away ; 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
deprived also of you both in one day ? � 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 which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life
do me ? "
14852 "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 came again unto Jerusalem and Judah,
every one unto his city ; which came with Zerubbabel : Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah,
Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mizpar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. � The number of the men
of the people of Israel : the children of Parosh, two thousand a hundred seventy
and two. The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two. The children of
Arah, seven hundred seventy and five. The children of Pahath-moab, of the children
of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred and twelve. The children of Elam, a
thousand two hundred fifty and four. The children of Zattu, nine hundred forty and
five. The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore. The children of Bani,
six hundred forty and two. The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and three. The

6003 "Now these are the commandments, 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 to possess it : 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. Hear
therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it ; that it may be well with thee, and that
ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the
land that floweth with milk and honey. � Hear, O Israel : The Lord our God is one
Lord : and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart : and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou "
13524 "Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron ; Nadab
and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and
had no children : therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest�s office. And
David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the
sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service. And there were more
chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar ; and thus were
they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house
of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of
their fathers. Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another ; for the
governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of
Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe,
one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the
priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of
the priests and Levites : one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one
taken for Ithamar. � Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to
Jedaiah, the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, the fifth to Malchijah, the
sixth to Mijamin, the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, the ninth to
Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah, the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, the fifteenth to Bilgah, the
sixteenth to Immer, the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, the
nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, "
1104 "Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. Esau took his wives of
the daughters of Canaan ; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the
daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite ; and Bashemath Ishmael�s
daughter, sister of Nebajoth. And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz, and Bashemath bare
Reuel ; and Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah : these are the sons of
Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. � And Esau took his wives,
and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle,
and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan ;
and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. For their riches were
more than that they might dwell together ; and the land wherein they were strangers
could not bear them because of their cattle. Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir : Esau
is Edom. � And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in
mount Seir : these are the names of Esau�s sons ; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife
of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. And the sons of Eliphaz were
Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. "
136 "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah ; Shem, Ham, and Japheth :
and unto them were sons born after the flood. � The sons of Japheth ; Gomer, and
Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of
Gomer ; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan ; Elishah, and
Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in
their lands ; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. �
And the sons of Ham ; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush
; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha : and the sons of
Raamah ; Sheba, and Dedan. And Cush begat Nimrod : he began to be a mighty one in
the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord : wherefore it is said, Even as
Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was
Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land
went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, and Resen
between Nineveh and Calah : the same is a great city. And Mizraim begat Ludim, and
Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came
Philistim,) and Caphtorim. � And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, and
the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Arkite,
and the Sinite, and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite : and
afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. "
2373 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. If thou buy a
Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve : and in the seventh he shall go out free
for nothing. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself : if he were
married, then his wife shall go out with him.
7371 "Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and
possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from
the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east : Sihon king of
the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of
the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto
the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon ; "
1686 "Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt ;
every man and his household came with Jacob. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. And all the
souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls : for Joseph was in
Egypt already. And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. And
the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and
waxed exceeding mighty ; and the land was filled with them. � Now there arose up a
new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold,
the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we : come on, let
us deal wisely with them ; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when
there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us,
and so get them up out of the land. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to
afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom
and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.
And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. And the Egyptians made the
children of Israel to serve with rigor : "
27272 "Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of
the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus
northward, to the coast of Hamath ; for these are his sides east and west ; a
portion for Dan. And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a
portion for Asher. And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the
west side, a portion for Naphtali. And by the border of Naphtali, from the east
side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh. And by the border of Manasseh,
from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim. And by the border of
Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben. And by
the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah. �
And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the
offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in
length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side : and the
sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. The oblation that ye shall offer unto the
Lord shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in
breadth. And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation ; toward
the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in
breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and
twenty thousand in length : and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst
thereof. 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. "
7889 "Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them, even
as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan ; only that the
generations of the children of Israel might know to teach them war, at the least
such as before knew nothing thereof ; namely, five lords of the Philistines, and
all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon,
from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath. And they were 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. And the children of
Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and
Hivites, and Jebusites : and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave
their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. "
15500 "Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua : Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth, Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah, Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,
Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah, Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief
of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua. � Moreover the
Levites : Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over
the thanksgiving, he and his brethren. Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren,
were over against them in the watches. And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat
Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada, and Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat
Jaddua. � And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers : of
Seraiah, Meraiah ; of Jeremiah, Hananiah ; of Ezra, Meshullam ; of Amariah,
Jehohanan ; of Melicu, Jonathan ; of Shebaniah, Joseph ; of Harim, Adna ; of
Meraioth, Helkai ; of Iddo, Zechariah ; of Ginnethon, Meshullam ; of Abijah, Zichri

24658 "Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from
Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to
the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had
carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon ; (after that Jeconiah the king, and
the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters,
and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem ;) 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, Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to
be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon ; Build ye houses, and dwell in them ;
and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them ; take ye wives, and beget sons and
daughters ; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that
they may bear sons and daughters ; that ye may be increased there, and not
diminished. "
13146 "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, helpers
of the war. They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the
left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul�s brethren of
Benjamin. The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite ;
and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth ; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,
and Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty ; and

Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites, and Joelah, and
Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. � And of the Gadites there separated
themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war
fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the
faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains ; Ezer the first,
Obadiah the second, Eliab the third, Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, "
10568 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the
man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet
psalmist of Israel, said, The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in
my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me,
12780 "Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron ; the
firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess : the second, Daniel, of Abigail the
Carmelitess : the third, Absalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of
Geshur : the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith : the fifth, Shephatiah of
Abital : the sixth, Ithream by Eglah his wife. These six were born unto him in
Hebron ; and there he reigned seven years and six months : and in Jerusalem he
reigned thirty and three years. And these were born unto him in Jerusalem ;
Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of Bath-shua the daughter of
Ammiel : Ibhar also, and Elishama, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and
Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet, nine. These were all the sons of
David, besides the sons of the concubines, and Tamar their sister. "
14541 "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 : so they sanctified the
house of the Lord in eight days ; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they
made an end. Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all
the house of the Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels
thereof, and the showbread table, with all the vessels thereof. Moreover all the
vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we
prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the Lord. � Then
Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to
the house of the Lord. 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. So they killed the bullocks, and the priests
received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar : likewise, when they had killed
the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar : they killed also the lambs, and
they sprinkled the blood upon the altar. And they brought forth the he goats for
the sin offering before the king and the congregation ; and they laid their hands
upon them : and the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their
blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel : for the king commanded
that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel. � And
he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and with
harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king�s seer, and
Nathan the prophet : for so was the commandment of the Lord by his prophets. And
the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the
burnt offering began, the song of the Lord "

and Zidkijah, Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah, Pashur, Amariah, Malchijah, Hattush,
Shebaniah, Malluch, Harim, Meremoth, Obadiah, Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch, Meshullam,
Abijah, Mijamin, Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah : these were the priests. And the
Levites : both Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel ;
and their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan, Micha, Rehob,
Hashabiah, Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Bani, Beninu. The chief of the

33025 "Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came
unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others
with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they
entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they
were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments :
and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto
them, Why seek ye the living among the dead ? He is not here, but is risen :
remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man
must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day
rise again. And they remembered his words, and returned from the sepulchre, and
told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene,
and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them,
which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle
tales, and they believed them not. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre ;
and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed,
wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. "
37575 "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by
our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day
of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means : for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the
son of perdition ; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshipped ; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing
himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you
these things ? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his
time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work : only he who now letteth will
let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming : "
14592 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the
cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw
down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also
and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of
Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
15099 "Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting
himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very
great congregation of men and women and children : for the people wept very sore.
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto
Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the
people of the land : yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. 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. Arise ;
for this matter belongeth unto thee : we also will be with thee : be of good
courage, and do it. Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and
all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware. �
Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of
Johanan the son of Eliashib : and when he came "
35274 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from
Caesarea to Jerusalem.
31956 "Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he
entered into Capernaum. And a certain centurion�s servant, who was dear unto him,
was sick, and ready to die. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders
of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. And when they
came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he
should do this : for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. Then
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 enter under my roof : wherefore neither thought I myself
worthy to come unto thee : but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. "
1351 "Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons,
Why do ye look one upon another ? 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. And Joseph�s ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. But
Benjamin, Joseph�s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren ; for he said, Lest
peradventure mischief befall him. And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among
those that came : for the famine was in the land of Canaan. � And Joseph was the
governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land : and
Joseph�s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to
the earth. And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange
unto them, and spake roughly unto them ; and he said unto them, Whence come ye ?
And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food. And Joseph knew his brethren,
but they knew not him. 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.
And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. We are
all one man�s sons ; we are true men ; thy servants are no spies. And he said unto
them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. "
29260 "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is
born King of the Jews ? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to
worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of
the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said
unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea : for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou
Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah : for
out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. � Then Herod,
when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the
star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently
for the young child ; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may
come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed ; and, lo,
the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over
where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with
Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him : and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him gifts ; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And
being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed
into their own country another way. "
13899 "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. And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord,
because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord�s house. And when all the
children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord upon the
house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and
worshipped, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good ; for his mercy endureth
for ever. � Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred
and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of
God. And the priests waited on their offices : the Levites also with instruments of
music of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the Lord, because his
mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry ; and the priests
sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. � Moreover Solomon hallowed the
middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord : for there he offered
burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which
Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat
offerings, and the fat. � Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days,
and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath
unto the river of Egypt. And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly : for
they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. "
14916 "Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of
the captivity builded the temple unto the Lord God of Israel ; then they came to
Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with
you : for we seek your God, as ye "
15076 Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people
of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the
people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites,
the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the
Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken of their daughters for themselves,
and for their sons : so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people
of those lands : yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this
trespass. 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 astonished. Then were
assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel,
because of the transgression of those
34923 "Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to
Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews : and Paul, as his manner was, went
in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the Scriptures,
opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from
the dead ; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. And some of them
believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas ; and of the devout Greeks a great
multitude, and of the chief women not a few. But the Jews which believed not, moved
with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a
company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and
sought to bring them out to the people. And when they found them not, they drew
Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have
turned the world upside down are come hither also ; whom Jason hath received : and
these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king,
one Jesus. And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard
these things. And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the others, they
let them go. "
35112 "Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed
into Syria, and landed at Tyre : for there the ship was to unlade her burden. And
finding disciples, we tarried there seven days : who said to Paul through the
Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. And when we had accomplished those
days, we departed and went our way ; and they all brought us on our way, with wives
and children, till we were out of the city : and we kneeled down on the shore, and
prayed. And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship ; and they
returned home again. � And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to
Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. And the next day
we that were of Paul�s company departed, and came unto Caesarea ; and we entered
into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven ; and abode
with him. And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. And as
we tarried there many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet, named
Agabus. And when he was come unto us, he took Paul�s girdle, and bound his own
hands and feet, 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. And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought
him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to
break mine heart ? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. And when he would not be persuaded, we
ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. � And after those days we took up our
carriages, and went up to Jerusalem. "
22142 "Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his
vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill : and he fenced
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 made a winepress therein : and he looked
that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. And now, O
inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my
vineyard. 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 ? 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 ; and break down the wall
thereof, and it shall be trodden down : and I will lay it waste : it shall not be
pruned, nor digged ; but there shall come up briers and thorns : "
13478 "Now, my son, the Lord be with thee ; and prosper thou, and build the house
of the Lord thy God, as he hath said of thee. Only the Lord give thee wisdom and
understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the
law of the Lord thy God. Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the
statutes and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel : be
strong, and of good courage ; dread not, nor be dismayed. Now, behold, in my
trouble I have prepared for the house of the Lord a 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. Moreover, there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and
workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of
work. Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number.
Arise therefore, and be doing, and the Lord be with thee. � David also commanded
all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, Is not the Lord your God
with you ? and hath he not given you rest on every side ? for he hath given the
inhabitants of the land into mine hand ; and the land is subdued before the Lord,
and before his people. Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God ;
arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of
the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be
built to the name of the Lord. "
27536 "Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not
changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. � Now when Daniel knew
that the writing was signed, he went into his house ; and, his windows being open
in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and
prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Then these men
assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. Then
they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king�s decree ; Hast thou
not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man
within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions ? The
king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and
Persians, which altereth not. 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 decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a
day. � Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself,
and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him : and he labored till the going down of
the sun to deliver him. Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the
king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor
statute which the king establisheth may be changed. � 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. And
a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den ; and the king sealed it
with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords ; that the purpose might not
be changed concerning Daniel. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the
night fasting : neither were instruments of music brought before him : and his
sleep went from him. "
26362 "Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city ?
yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations. Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord
God ; The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and
maketh idols against herself to defile herself. Thou art become guilty in thy blood
that thou hast shed ; and hast defiled thyself 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 heathen, and a mocking to all
countries. Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee,
which art infamous and much vexed. � Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were
in thee to their power to shed blood. 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 vexed the fatherless and the widow. Thou hast despised mine holy
things, and hast profaned my sabbaths. In thee are men that carry tales to shed
blood : and in thee they eat upon the mountains : in the midst of thee they commit
lewdness. In thee have they discovered their fathers� nakedness : in thee have they
humbled her that was set apart for pollution. And one hath committed abomination
with his neighbor�s wife ; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law ;
and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father�s daughter. In thee have
they taken gifts to shed blood ; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast
greedily gained of thy neighbors by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the
Lord God. � 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. 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. "
18064 "O clap your hands, all ye people ; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
For the Lord most high is terrible ; he is a great King over all the earth. He
shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose
our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. God is gone
up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. "
19198 "O come, let us sing unto the Lord : let us make a joyful noise to the rock
of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a
joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King
above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth : the strength of the
hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it : and his hands formed the dry
land. O come, let us worship and bow down : let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
For he is our God ; and we are the people of his pasture, "
36879 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the
truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified
among you ? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of
the law, or by the hearing of faith ? Are ye so foolish ? having begun in the
Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh ? Have ye suffered so many things in
vain ? if it be yet in vain.
19410 "O give thanks unto the Lord ; call upon his name : make known his deeds
among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him : talk ye of all his wondrous
works. Glory ye in his holy name : let the heart of them rejoice that seek the
Lord. Seek the Lord, and his strength : seek his face evermore. Remember his
marvelous works that he hath done ; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth ; O
ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. He is the Lord our
God : his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with
Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac ; and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant : "
19753 "O give thanks unto the Lord ; for he is good : because his mercy endureth
for ever. Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of
Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let them now that fear the Lord
say, that his mercy endureth for ever. I called upon the Lord in distress : the
Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. The Lord is on my side ; I will not
fear : what can man do unto me ? The Lord taketh my part with them that help me :
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in
the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to
put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about : but in the name of the
Lord will I destroy them. They compassed me about ; yea, they compassed me about :
but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. They compassed me about like
bees ; "
20177 "O give thanks unto the Lord ; for he is good : for his mercy endureth for
ever. O give thanks unto the God of gods : for his mercy endureth for ever. O give
thanks to the Lord of lords : for his mercy endureth for ever. "
19519 "O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good : for his mercy endureth for
ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of
the enemy ; and gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west,
from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary
way ; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in
them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of
their distresses. And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a
city of habitation. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, "
19575 "O God, my heart is fixed ; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
Awake, psaltery and harp : I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord,
among the people : and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. For thy
mercy is great above the heavens : and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. Be thou
exalted, O God, above the heavens : and thy glory above all the earth ; that thy
beloved may be delivered : save with thy right hand, and answer me. God hath spoken
in his holiness ; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of
Succoth. Gilead is mine ; Manasseh is mine ; Ephraim also is the strength of mine
head ; Judah is my lawgiver ; Moab is my washpot ; over Edom will I cast out my
shoe ; over Philistia will I triumph. Who will bring me into the strong city ? Who
will lead me into Edom ? "
18834 "O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance ; thy holy temple have
they defiled ; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 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. Their blood have they shed like water round about
Jerusalem ; and there was none to bury them. We are become a reproach to our
neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. "
18382 "O God, thou art my God ; early will I seek thee : my soul thirsteth for
thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is ; to
see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy
loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless
thee while I live : I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied
as with marrow and fatness ; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips : when
I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because
thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My
soul followeth hard after thee : thy right hand upholdeth me. But those that seek
my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. "
18335 "O God, thou hast cast us off, thou has scattered us, thou hast been
displeased ; O turn thyself to us again. Thou hast made the earth to tremble ; thou
hast broken it : heal the breaches thereof ; for it shaketh. Thou hast showed thy
people hard things : thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. Thou hast
given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the
truth. Selah. That thy beloved may be delivered ; save with thy right hand, and
hear me. God hath spoken in his holiness ; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine ; Ephraim
also is the strength of mine head ; Judah is my lawgiver ; Moab is my washpot ;
over Edom will I cast out my shoe : Philistia, triumph thou because of me. Who will
bring me into the strong city ? Who will lead me into Edom ? Wilt not thou, O God,
which hadst cast us off ? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies ?
"
18669 "O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever ? Why doth thine anger smoke
against the sheep of thy pasture ? Remember thy congregation, which thou hast
purchased of old ; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed ; this
mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual
desolations ; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. Thine
enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations ; they set up their ensigns for
signs. A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. They
have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling
place of thy name to the ground. They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them
together : they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. We see not
our signs : there is no more any prophet : neither is there among us any that
knoweth how long. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach ? Shall the enemy
blaspheme thy name for ever ? "
28015 "O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God ; for thou hast fallen by thine
iniquity. Take with you words, and turn to the Lord : say unto him, Take away all
iniquity, and receive us graciously : so will we render the calves of our lips.
Asshur shall not save us ; we will not ride upon horses : neither will we say any
more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods : for in thee the fatherless findeth
mercy. � I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely : for mine anger is
turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel : he shall grow as the lily,
and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty
shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. They that dwell under his
shadow shall return ; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine : the
scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. "
19011 "O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee : let my
prayer come before thee : incline thine ear unto my cry ; "
19177 "O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth ; O God, to whom vengeance
belongeth, show thyself. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth : render a reward
to the proud. Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph ?
How long shall they utter and speak hard things ? and all the workers of iniquity
boast themselves ? They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine
heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they
say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. Understand,
ye brutish among the people : and ye fools, when will ye be wise ? He that planted
the ear, shall he not hear ? He that formed the eye, shall he not see ? He that
chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct ? He that teacheth man knowledge,
shall not he know ? The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law ;
that thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged
for the wicked. For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake
his inheritance. But judgment shall return unto righteousness : and all the upright
in heart shall follow it. Who will rise up for me against the evildoers ? "
13897 O Lord God, turn not away the face of thine anointed : remember the mercies
of David thy servant.
17192 "O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust : save me from all them that
persecute me, and deliver me : lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in
pieces, while there is none to deliver. O Lord my God, if I have done this ; if
there be iniquity in my hands ; if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace
with me ; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy ;) let the
enemy persecute my soul, and take it ; yea, let him tread down my life upon the
earth, and lay mine honor in the dust. Selah. Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift
up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies : and awake for me to the judgment
that thou hast commanded. So shall the congregation of the people compass thee
about : for their sakes therefore return thou on high. The Lord shall judge the
people : "
17210 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth ! who hast set
thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou
ordained strength because of thine enemies,
13347 "O Lord, for thy servant�s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou
done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. O Lord, there is
none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we
have heard with our ears. And what one nation in the earth is like thy people
Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of
greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom
thou hast redeemed out of Egypt ? For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own
people for ever ; and thou, Lord, becamest their God. Therefore now, Lord, let the
thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be
established for ever, and do as thou hast said. Let it even be established, that
thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel,
even a God to Israel : and let the house of David thy servant be established before
thee. For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him a house :
therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. And now, Lord,
thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant : now therefore let
it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for
ever : for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever. "
27654 "O Lord, hear ; O Lord, forgive ; O Lord, hearken and do ; defer not, for
thine own sake, O my God : for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. "
17175 "O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot
displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O Lord ; for I am weak : O Lord, heal me ; for my
bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed : but thou, O Lord, how long ? Return,
O Lord, deliver my soul : oh save me for thy mercies� sake. For in death there is
no remembrance of thee : in the grave who shall give thee thanks ? I am weary with
my groaning ; all the night make I my bed to swim ; "
17877 "O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath : neither chasten me in thy hot
displeasure. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger ; neither is there any
rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head :
as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds stink and are corrupt
because of my foolishness. I am troubled ; I am bowed down greatly ; I go mourning
all the day long. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease : and there is
no soundness in my flesh. I am feeble and sore broken : I have roared by reason of
the disquietness of my heart. Lord, all my desire is before thee ; and my groaning
is not hid from thee. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me : as for the light
of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my
sore ; "
22640 "O Lord, thou art my God ; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name ; for
thou hast done wonderful things ; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
For thou hast made of a city a heap ; of a defensed city a ruin : a palace of
strangers to be no city ; it shall never be built. Therefore shall the strong
people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. For thou
hast been a strength to the poor, a strength 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. Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat
in a dry place ; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud : the branch of the
terrible ones shall be brought low. � And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts
make unto all people 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. "
20247 "O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and
mine uprising ; thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and
my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my
tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and
before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ; it is
high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit ? Or whither
shall I flee from thy presence ? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there : if I
make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning,
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea ; even there shall thy hand lead me,
and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me ;
even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee ;
but the night shineth as the day : the darkness and the light are both alike to
thee. For thou hast possessed my reins : thou hast covered me in my mother�s womb.
I will praise thee ; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made : marvelous are thy
works ; "
27641 "O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and
to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. To the Lord our God belong
mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him ; 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. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by
departing, that they might not obey thy voice ; therefore the curse is poured upon
us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we
have sinned against him. 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. As it
is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us : yet made we not our
prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and
understand thy truth. Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it
upon us : for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth : for
we obeyed not his voice. 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. O Lord, according to all thy
righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy
city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain : because for our sins, and for the iniquities of
our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about
us. Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his
supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for
the Lord�s sake. 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. "
28536 "O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam
the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal ; that ye may know the
righteousness of the Lord. "
19735 O praise the Lord, all ye nations :
19217 "O sing unto the Lord a new song : sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing
unto the Lord, bless his name ; show forth his salvation from day to day. Declare
his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. For the Lord is great,
and greatly to be praised : he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of
the nations are idols : but the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before
him : strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds
of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory
due unto his name : bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the Lord
in the beauty of holiness : fear before him, all the earth. Say among the heathen
that the Lord reigneth : "
19254 "O sing unto the Lord a new song ; for he hath done marvelous things : his
right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. The Lord hath made known
his salvation : his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the
heathen. He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel :
all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise
unto the Lord, all the earth : make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Sing unto the Lord with the harp ; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. With
trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King. Let the
sea roar, and the fulness thereof ; the world, and they that dwell therein. Let the
floods clap their hands : let the hills be joyful together before the Lord ; "
22002 "O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother ! When
I should find thee without, I would kiss thee ; yea, I should not be despised. 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. His left
hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. I charge you, O
daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, "
23938 "O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of
Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-
haccerem : for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction. I have
likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. The 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. Prepare ye war against her ; arise,
and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us ! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of
the evening are stretched out. "
28333 Obadiah [Obadiah]
6347 "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.
Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God, of the flock and
the herd, in the place which the Lord shall choose to place his name there. 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. And there shall be no leavened bread
seen with thee in all thy coast seven days ; neither shall there any thing of the
flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the
morning. Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the
Lord thy God giveth thee : but at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to

the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us. So
Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the
mighty men of valor. And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not : for I have
delivered them into thine hand ; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night. And
the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at
Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them
to Azekah, and unto Makkedah. And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel,
and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great stones from
heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died : they were more which died with
hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. � 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 Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the
moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not
this written in the book of Jasher ? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven,

it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man : for the Lord

cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly

of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all
men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath : for
it is written, Vengeance is mine ; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if
thine enemy hunger, feed him ; if he thirst, give him drink : for in so doing thou

covert to lie in wait ? Who provideth for the raven his food ? When his young ones
cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. When I said, My foot
slippeth ; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me
thy comforts delight my soul. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with
thee, which frameth mischief by a law ? They gather themselves together against the
soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But the Lord is my defense ;
and my God is the rock of my refuge. And he shall bring upon them their own
iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness ; yea, the Lord our God

barbed irons ? or his head with fish spears ? Lay thine hand upon him, remember the
battle, do no more. Behold, the hope of him is in vain : shall not one be cast down
even at the sight of him ? None is so fierce that dare stir him up : who then is
able to stand before me ? Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him ?
Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. I will not conceal his parts, nor his
power, nor his comely proportion. Who can discover the face of his garment ? Or who
can come to him with his double bridle ? Who can open the doors of his face ? His
teeth are terrible round about. His scales are his pride, shut up together as with
a close seal. One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. They
are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. By
his sneezings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils
goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a
flame goeth out of his mouth. In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned
into joy before him.

in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust, and forgetteth that the foot may crush
them, or that the wild beast may break them. She is hardened against her young
ones, as though they were not hers : her labor is in vain without fear ; because
God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
Hast thou given the horse strength ? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder ?
Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper ? The glory of his nostrils is
terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength : he goeth on to
meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted ; neither turneth he
back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the
shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage : neither believeth he
that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha ! And he
smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. Doth
the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south ? Doth the eagle
mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high ? "

after him. And the Lord discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host,
with the edge of the sword before Barak ; so that Sisera lighted down off his
chariot, and fled away on his feet. But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after
the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles : and all the host of Sisera fell upon the
edge of the sword ; and there was not a man left. � 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. And Jael went out to
meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me ; fear not. And
when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. 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. Again 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. Then
Jael Heber�s wife took a nail of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went
softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the
ground : for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. And, behold, as Barak
pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show
thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay
dead, and the nail was in his temples. � So God subdued on that day Jabin the king
of Canaan before the children of Israel. And the hand of the children of Israel
prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed
Jabin king of Canaan. "

because of the children of Israel. � At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make
thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. And
Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of
the foreskins. And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise : All the people
that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the
wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt. Now all the people that came
out were circumcised ; but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the
way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised. For the
children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that
were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not
the voice of the Lord : unto whom the Lord sware that he would not show them the
land, which the Lord sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that
floweth with milk and honey. And their children, whom he raised up in their stead,
them Joshua circumcised : for they were uncircumcised, because they had not
circumcised them by the way. � And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising
all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt
from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal [rolling] unto this
day. � And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the
fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho. 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. "

called of all nations the house of prayer ? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him :
for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. And

Hezron begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth : her sons are these ;

Ephrath, which bare him Hur. And Hur begat Uri, and Uri begat Bezaleel. � And
afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he
married when he was threescore years old ; and she bare him Segub. And Segub begat
Jair, who had three and twenty cities in the land of Gilead. And he took Geshur,

behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal. And it was so, as she
rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David
and his men came down against her ; and she met them. Now David had said, Surely in

missed of all that pertained unto him : and he hath requited me evil for good. So

thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood,

brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
I pray thee, forgive 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

one dead, or a grave : and the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the
third day, and on the seventh day : and on the seventh day he shall purify himself,
and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even. � But
the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut
off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the
Lord : the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him ; he is unclean.
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of
separation shall wash his clothes ; and he that toucheth the water of separation
shall be unclean until even. And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be
unclean ; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even. "

30553 Pilate Questions Jesus
34012 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against
this man ? They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would
not have delivered him up unto thee. Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and
judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful
for us to put any man to death : that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which
he spake, signifying what death he should die. � Then Pilate entered into the
judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the
Jews ? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it
thee of me ? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew ? Thine own nation and the chief priests
have delivered thee unto me : what hast thou done ? 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.
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then ? Jesus answered, Thou sayest
that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world,
that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth
my voice. 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 in him no fault at all.

17774 "Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me : fight against them
that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me : say unto
my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek
after my soul : let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my
hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind : and let the angel of the Lord chase
them. Let their way be dark and slippery : and let the angel of the Lord persecute
them. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without
cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares ; and
let his net that he hath hid catch himself : into that very destruction let him
fall. And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord : "

19676 "praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time
forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same
the Lord�s name is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory
above the heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high, who
humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth ! He
raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill ;
that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. He maketh
the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye
the Lord. "
17714 Praise to the Creator and Preserver
18417 "Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion : and unto thee shall the vow be
performed. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Iniquities
prevail against me : as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 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, even of thy
holy temple. By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our
salvation ; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that
are afar off upon the sea : which by his strength setteth fast the mountains ;
being girded with power : which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
waves, and the tumult of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts
are afraid at thy tokens : thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to
rejoice. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it : thou greatly enrichest it with
the river of God, which is full of water : "
20403 "Praise ye the Lord : for it is good to sing praises unto our God ; for it is
pleasant ; and praise is comely. The Lord doth build up Jerusalem : he gathereth
together the outcasts of Israel. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up
their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars ; he calleth them all by their
names. Great is our Lord, and of great power : his understanding is infinite. The
Lord lifteth up the meek : he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the
Lord with thanksgiving ; sing praise upon the harp unto our God : who covereth the
heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon
the mountains. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse : he taketh not pleasure in the legs
of a man. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his
mercy. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem ; praise thy God, O Zion. For he hath
strengthened the bars of thy gates ; he hath blessed thy children within thee. He
maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. "
19660 "Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that
delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth : the
generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house
: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Unto the upright there ariseth light in
the darkness : he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man
showeth favor, and lendeth : he will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he
shall not be moved for ever : the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He
shall not be afraid of evil tidings : his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. His
heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his
enemies. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor ; his righteousness endureth
for ever ; his horn shall be exalted with honor. The wicked shall see it, and be
grieved ; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away : the desire of the wicked
shall perish. "
19645 "Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the
assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The works of the Lord are great,
sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honorable and
glorious : and his righteousness endureth for ever. He hath made his wonderful
works to be remembered : the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. He hath given
meat unto them that fear him : he will ever be mindful of his covenant. He hath
showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the
heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment ; all his commandments are
sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He
sent redemption unto his people : he hath commanded his covenant for ever : holy
and reverend is his name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom : a good
understanding have all they that do his commandments : his praise endureth for
ever. "
19467 "Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord ; for he is good : for his
mercy endureth for ever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord ? Who can show
forth all his praise ? Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth
righteousness at all times. Remember me, O Lord, with the favor that thou bearest
unto thy people : O visit me with thy salvation ; that I may see the good of thy
chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with
thine inheritance. We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we
have done wickedly. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt ; they
remembered not the multitude of thy mercies ; but provoked him at the sea, even at
the Red sea. Nevertheless he saved them for his name�s sake, that he might make
his mighty power to be known. He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up : so
he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. And he saved them from
the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. "
20459 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary : praise him in the firmament
of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts : praise him according to his
excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet : praise him with the
psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance : praise him with stringed
instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals : praise him upon the high
sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the
Lord.
20389 "Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul. While I live will I praise
the Lord : I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your
trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth
forth, he returneth to his earth ; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is
he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God :
which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is : which keepeth
truth for ever : which executeth judgment for the oppressed : which giveth food to
the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners : the Lord openeth the eyes of the blind
: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down : the Lord loveth the righteous : the
Lord preserveth the strangers ; he relieveth the fatherless and widow : but the way
of the wicked he turneth upside down. The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God,
O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord. "
20422 "Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens : praise him in the
heights. Praise ye him, all his angels : praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise ye
him, sun and moon : praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of
heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the
Lord : for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for
ever and ever : he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the Lord from
the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps : fire, and hail ; snow, and vapor ; stormy
wind fulfilling his word : "
20160 "Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord ; praise him, O ye
servants of the Lord. Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the
house of our God, praise the Lord ; for the Lord is good : sing praises unto his
name ; for it is pleasant. For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel
for his peculiar treasure. For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is
above all gods. Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth,
in the seas, and all deep places. He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of
the earth ; he maketh lightnings for the rain ; he bringeth the wind out of his
treasuries. Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. Who sent
tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his
servants. Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings ; "
19663 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord,
20441 "Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the
congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him : let the children
of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance : let them
sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. For the Lord taketh pleasure in
his people : he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in
glory : let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in
their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand ; to execute vengeance upon the
heathen, "

sometime foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living
in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness

which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost ; which he shed on us abundantly

8372 "Ramath-lehi [the lifting up of the jawbone, or casting away of the jawbone].
� And he was sore athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, Thou hast given this
great deliverance into the hand of thy servant : and now shall I die for thirst,
and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised ? But God clave a hollow place that was
in the jaw, and there came water thereout ; and when he had drunk, his spirit came
again, and he revived : wherefore he called the name thereof En-hakkore [the well
of him that called or cried], which is in Lehi unto this day. And he judged Israel
in the days of the Philistines twenty years. "
21061 "rather than a fool in his folly. Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall
not depart from his house. The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water
: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. He that justifieth the
wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the
Lord. Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he
hath no heart to it ? A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for
adversity. A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the
presence of his friend. He loveth transgression that loveth strife : and he that
exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. He that hath a froward heart findeth no good
: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. He that begetteth a
fool doeth it to his sorrow : and the father of a fool hath no joy. A merry heart
doeth good like a medicine : but a broken spirit drieth the bones. A wicked man
taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. Wisdom is before
him that hath understanding ; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. Also
to punish the just is not good nor to strike princes for equity. He that hath
knowledge spareth his words : and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise : and he that shutteth his
lips is esteemed a man of understanding. "
15413 "ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness, and forsookest them not. 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 ; yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the
wilderness : the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in
the way ; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way
wherein they should go. Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and
withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked
nothing ; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not. Moreover thou
gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners : so they
possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of
Og king of Bashan. Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven,
and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their
fathers, that they should go in to possess it. 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 people of
the land, that they might do with them as they would. And they took strong cities,
and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, 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. � Nevertheless
they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their
backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and
they wrought great provocations. Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of
their enemies, who vexed them : and in the time of their trouble, when they cried "
37718 "Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father ; and the younger men as
brethren ; the elder women as mothers ; the younger as sisters, with all purity. �
Honor widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or nephews, let
them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents : for that is
good and acceptable before God. Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate,
trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. But she
that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. And these things give in charge,
that they may be blameless. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for
those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. �
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been
the wife of one man, well reported of for good works ; if she have brought up
children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints� feet, if she
have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. "

border. Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and
will return your recompense upon your own head : and I will sell your sons and your
daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the
Sabeans, to a people far off : for the Lord hath spoken it. � Proclaim ye this

decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw
their shining. "

a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men. And when David heard of it, he
sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. And the children of Ammon came out,
and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate : and the Syrians of
Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. � When
Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose
of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians : and
the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he
might put them in array against the children of Ammon. 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. 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. And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto
the battle against the Syrians : and they fled before him. And when the children of
Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and
entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to
Jerusalem. � And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they
gathered themselves together. And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that
were beyond the river [Euphrates] ; and they came to Helam : and Shobach the
captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. And when it was told David, he
gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the
Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him. And the Syrians
fled before Israel ; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the
Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host,
who died there. "
37295 Rejoice in the Lord
17715 "Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous : for praise is comely for the upright.
Praise the Lord with harp : sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of
ten strings. Sing unto him a new song ; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the
word of the Lord is right ; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth
righteousness and judgment : the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. By the
word of the Lord were the heavens made ; and all the host of them by the breath of
his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap : he layeth up the
depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord : let all the inhabitants of
the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done ; he commanded, and it
stood fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought : "

whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor. The floor and
the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her. They shall
not dwell in the Lord�s land ; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall
eat unclean things in Assyria. They shall not offer 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
for their soul shall not come into the house of the Lord. � What will ye do in the
solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord ? For, lo, they are gone
because of destruction : Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them : the
pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them : thorns shall be in
their tabernacles. � The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are
come ; Israel shall know it : the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for
the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred. The watchman of Ephraim was
with my God : but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in
the house of his God. They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of
Gibeah : therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins. � I

ministered, took they away. And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and
the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups ; that which was
of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the
guard away. The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brazen bulls that were under the
bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord : the brass of all
these vessels was without weight. And concerning the pillars, the height of one
pillar was eighteen cubits ; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it ; and the
thickness thereof was four fingers : it was hollow. And a chapiter of brass was
upon it ; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and
pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also
and the pomegranates were like unto these. And there were ninety and six
pomegranates on a side ; and all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred
round about. � And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and
Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door : he took also out
of the city a eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war ; and seven men of
them that were near the king�s person, which were found in the city ; and the
principal scribe 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. So
Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of
Babylon to Riblah. "

leaven beside the altar : for it is most holy. And ye shall eat it in the holy
place, because it is thy due, and thy sons� due, of the sacrifices of the Lord made
by fire : for so I am commanded. And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye
eat in a clean place ; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee : for they
be thy due, and thy sons� due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace

they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave
offering before the Lord ; and it shall be thine, and thy sons� with thee, by a
statute for ever ; as the Lord hath commanded. � And Moses diligently sought the
goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt : and he was angry with Eleazar
and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying, Wherefore have ye not
eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath
given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them
before the Lord ? Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy
place : ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded. And Aaron
said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their
burnt offering before the Lord ; and such things have befallen me : and if I had
eaten the sin offering today, should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord
? And when Moses heard that, he was content. "
2854 "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. And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought
to do unto his people. � And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the
two tables of the testimony were in his hand : the tables were written on both
their sides ; on the one side and on the other were they written. And the tables
were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the
tables. 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. 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. 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. And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and
ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel
drink of it. � And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou
hast brought so great a sin upon them ? And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my
lord wax hot : thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. 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 wot not what is become of him.
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave
it me : then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. � And when
Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had made them naked unto their
shame among their enemies,) "

clouds return after the rain : in the day when the keepers of the house shall

they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, and the doors

Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. We are orphans and
fatherless, our mothers are as widows. We have drunken our water for money ; our
wood is sold unto us. Our necks are under persecution : we labor, and have no rest.
We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with
bread. Our fathers have sinned, and are not ; and we have borne their iniquities.
Servants have ruled over us : there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
We gat our bread with the peril of our lives, because of the sword of the
wilderness. Our skin was black like an oven, because of the terrible famine. "

well. And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet :
but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone ;
for her soul is vexed within her : and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not
told me. Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord ? did I not say, Do not

thee, answer him not again : and lay my staff upon the face of the child. 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. 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 went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is
not awaked. � And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead,
and laid upon his bed. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and
prayed unto the Lord. And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth
upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands : and he
stretched himself upon the child ; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. Then he
returned, and walked in the house to and fro ; and went up, and stretched himself

called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was

them, but they have refused to receive correction : they have made their faces
harder than a rock ; they have refused to return. � Therefore I said, Surely these

judgment of their God. I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them ;

Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the
army, and to say, Praise the Lord ; for his mercy endureth for ever. And when they
began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of
Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah ; and they were smitten.
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. � And when Judah came toward the
watchtower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they
were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. And when Jehoshaphat and
his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance
both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for
themselves, more than they could carry away : and they were three days in gathering
of the spoil, it was so much. And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in
the valley of Berachah ; for there they blessed the Lord : therefore the name of
the same place was called, The valley of Berachah [blessing], unto this day. 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. And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and
trumpets unto the house of the Lord. And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of

Israel. "

how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 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. � And Saul
gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand
footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid
wait in the valley. And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from
among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them : for ye showed kindness to all
the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed
from among the Amalekites. And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou
comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt. And he took Agag the king of the
Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
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. "

they had let down the boat into the sea, under color as though they would have cast
anchors out of the foreship, Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except
these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of
the boat, and let her fall off. � And while the day was coming on, Paul besought
them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried

any of you. And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in
presence of them all ; and when he had broken it, he began to eat. Then were they
all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. And we were in all in the ship two

saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; If ye wholly set your faces to enter
into Egypt, and go to sojourn there ; then it shall come to pass, that the sword,
which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt ; and the famine,
whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt ; and there ye
shall die. 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.
� 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. The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah ; Go
ye not into Egypt : know certainly that I have admonished you this day. For ye
dissembled in your hearts, when 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. And now I have this day declared it to you ;
but ye have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which
he hath sent me unto you. 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
and to sojourn. "

in it ; when they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another
people ; he suffered no man to do them wrong : yea, he reproved kings for their
sakes ; saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Moreover he
called for a famine upon the land : he brake the whole staff of bread. He sent a
man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant : whose feet they hurt
with fetters : he was laid in iron : until the time that his word came : the word
of the Lord tried him. The king sent and loosed him ; even the ruler of the
people, and let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his
substance : to bind his princes at his pleasure ; and teach his senators wisdom.
Israel also came into Egypt ; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. And he
increased his people greatly ; and made them stronger than their enemies. He turned
their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilely with his servants. He sent Moses
his servant ; and Aaron whom he had chosen. They showed his signs among them, and
wonders in the land of Ham. "

the needy for a pair of shoes ; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat ? The Lord
hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their
works. Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth
therein ? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood ; and it shall be cast out and

thereof as a bitter day. � 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 : 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. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for

tried ; but the wicked shall do wickedly : and none of the wicked shall

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. Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had
heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. 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. And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So
Baruch read it in their ears. Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the
words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely
tell the king of all these words. And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, how
didst thou write all these words at his mouth ? Then Baruch answered them, He
pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the
book. Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah ; and let
no man know where ye be. � And they went in to the king into the court, but they
laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in
the ears of the king. So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll ; and he took it
out of Elishama the scribe�s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king,

law. Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. Israel hath cast off the thing
that is good : the enemy shall pursue him. � 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. Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast
thee off ; mine anger is kindled against them : how long will it be ere they attain
to innocency ? For from Israel was it also : the workman made it ; therefore it is
not God : but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. � For they have sown

hath hired lovers. Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather
them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. �
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. I
have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange

thee with men, as with caterpillars ; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

iniquities by showing mercy to the poor ; if it may be a lengthening of thy

months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. The king spake, and said,
Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the
might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty ? 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. And they shall drive thee
from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field : they shall make
thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know
that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he
will. 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 hairs were grown like eagles� feathers, and his nails like birds� claws. �
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
honored him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and
his kingdom is from generation to generation : 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

man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him. So the prophet departed, and
waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face. 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. 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. And he hasted, and took the ashes
away from his face ; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the
prophets. And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let go out
of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall
go for his life, and thy people for his people. And the king of Israel went to his

therefore I chased him from me. Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled
the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites. � Thus

to know me ? saith the Lord. But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy
covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence,

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 ! He
shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of
Jerusalem. � Go up to Lebanon, and cry ; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry
from the passages : for all thy lovers are destroyed. 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. The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and
thy lovers shall go into captivity : surely then shalt thou be ashamed and
confounded for all thy wickedness. O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in
the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a
woman in travail ! � 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 ;
and I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of
them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,

Asaph to Joseph : the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were

fourth to Izri, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve : the fifth to
Nethaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve : the sixth to Bukkiah, he,

30085 shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I
had pity on thee ? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,

do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their
trespasses.

gods : yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought : an abomination is he that
chooseth you. � I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come : from the
rising of the sun shall he call upon my name : and he shall come upon princes as
upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay. Who hath declared from the beginning,
that we may know ? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous ? yea, there is
none that showeth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that
heareth your words. The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them : and I will
give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. For I beheld, and there was no
man ; even among them, and there was no counselor, that, when I asked of them,
could answer a word. Behold, they are all vanity ; their works are nothing : their
molten images are wind and confusion. "

Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. The forefront of the one was situate
northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah. � And
Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, 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. And his armor-
bearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart : turn thee ; behold, I am with
thee according to thy heart. Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto
these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. 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. 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 a sign unto us. 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. And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armorbearer,
and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his
armor-bearer, Come up after me : for the Lord hath delivered them into the hand of
Israel. And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor-
bearer after him : and they fell before Jonathan ; and his armor-bearer slew after
him. And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made, was about
twenty men, within as it were a half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people : the
garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked : so it was a
very great trembling. "

Canaan : and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel his people. Thy
name, O Lord, endureth for ever ; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all
generations. For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself
concerning his servants. The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of
men�s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not ; eyes have they, but they see
not ; they have ears, but they hear not ; neither is there any breath in their
mouths. They that make them are like unto them : so is every one that trusteth in

this day, I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up
early and sending them : yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear,
but hardened their neck : they did worse than their fathers. � Therefore 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. But thou shalt say unto them,
This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth
correction : truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. � Cut off thine
hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places ; for
the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. � For the children
of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord : they have set their
abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it. And they have
built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to
burn their sons and their daughters in the fire ; which I commanded them not,
neither came it into my heart. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but
The valley of slaughter : for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
And the carcasses 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. Then will I cause to cease
from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth,
and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride : for the land shall be desolate. "
18886 "Sing aloud unto God our strength : make a joyful noise unto the God of
Jacob. Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the
psaltery. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn
feast day. For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. This
he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt :
where I heard a language that I understood not. I removed his shoulder from the
burden : his hands were delivered from the pots. Thou calledst in trouble, and I
delivered thee ; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder : I proved thee at
the waters of Meribah. Selah. Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee : O
Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me ; there shall no strange god be in thee ;
neither shalt thou worship any strange god. "
18077 Sing praises to God, sing praises : sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth : sing ye praises with understanding. God
reigneth over the heathen : God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. The
princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of
Abraham : for the shields of the earth belong unto God : he is greatly exalted.

Glory ye in his holy name : let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Seek
the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvelous works
that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth ; O ye seed of
Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the Lord our God ;
his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant ; the word
which he commanded to a thousand generations ; even of the covenant which he made
with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac ; and hath confirmed the same to Jacob
for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying, Unto thee will I give
the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance. When ye were but few, even a few,
and strangers in it, and when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom
to another people ; he suffered no man to do them wrong : yea, he reproved kings
for their sakes, saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Sing
unto the Lord, all the earth ; show forth from day to day his salvation. Declare
his glory among the heathen ; his marvelous works among all nations. For great is
the Lord, and greatly to be praised : he also is to be feared above all gods. "

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. 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 ; for thou shalt break forth on
the right hand and on the left ; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make
the desolate cities to be inhabited. � Fear not ; for thou shalt not be ashamed :
neither be thou confounded ; for thou shalt not be put to shame : for thou shalt
forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood
any more. For thy Maker is thine husband ; The Lord of hosts is his name ; and thy
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel ; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife
of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. For a small moment have I forsaken
thee ; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face
from thee for a moment ; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee,
saith the Lord thy Redeemer. � 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. For the mountains shall
depart, and the hills be removed ; but my kindness shall not depart from thee,
neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy
on thee. "
2250 "Six days ye shall gather it ; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath,
in it there shall be none. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the
people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the Lord said
unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws ? 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. So the people rested on the seventh day. � 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. And Moses said, This is the thing
which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations ;
that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I
brought you forth from the land of Egypt. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot,
and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept
for your generations. As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept. And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until
they came to a land inhabited : they did eat manna, until they came unto the
borders of the land of Canaan. Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. "
12222 "Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and
fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother�s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. And he
did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father
Amaziah had done ; save that the high places were not removed : the people
sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places. 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 house, judging the people of the land. And the
rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book
of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? So Azariah slept with his fathers ; and
they buried him with his fathers in the city of David : and Jotham his son reigned
in his stead. "
14444 "Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty
and two years in Jerusalem. His mother�s name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. And
he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his
father Amaziah did. And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had
understanding in the visions of God : and as long as he sought the Lord, God made
him to prosper. � 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 built
cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines. And God helped him against the
Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunim. And
the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah : and his name spread abroad even to the
entering in of Egypt ; for he strengthened himself exceedingly. 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. Also he built towers in the desert, and
digged many wells : for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the
plains ; husbandmen also, and vinedressers in the mountains, and in Carmel : for he
loved husbandry. Moreover Uzziah had a host of fighting men, that went out to war
by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe
and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king�s captains. The
whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valor were two
thousand and six hundred. And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand
and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the
king against the enemy. And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host
shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast
stones. "
3478 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of
Moses.
14097 "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. And
Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God : for he took
away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the
images, and cut down the groves : and commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their
fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. Also he took away out of all the
cities of Judah the high places and the images : and the kingdom was quiet before
him. And he built fenced cities in Judah : for the land had rest, and he had no war
in those years ; because the Lord had given him rest. Therefore he said unto Judah,
Let us build these cities, and make about them walls and towers, gates and bars,
while the land is yet before us ; because we have sought the Lord our God, we have
sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred
thousand ; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and
fourscore thousand : all these were mighty men of valor. � And there came out
against them Zerah the Ethiopian with a host of a thousand thousand, and three
hundred chariots ; and came unto Mareshah. Then Asa went out against him, and they
set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. And Asa cried unto
the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with
many, or with them that have no power : help us, O Lord our God ; for we rest on
thee, and in thy "
13022 "So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies ; and, behold, they were written
in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for
their transgression. Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in
their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinim. And in
Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of
the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh ; "
15632 "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. And the king
loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor 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. 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 state of the king. "
19355 "so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from
the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father
pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our
frame ; he remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass : as a
flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is
gone ; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is
from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto
children�s children ; to such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his
commandments to do them. The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens ; and his
kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength,
that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless ye the Lord,
all ye his hosts ; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Bless the Lord, all
his works in all places of his dominion : bless the Lord, O my soul. "

21661 "So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the
sun : and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter ;
and on the side of their oppressors there was power ; but they had no comforter.
Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead, more than the living which are
yet alive. Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not
seen the evil work that is done under the sun. � Again, I considered all travail,
and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also
vanity and vexation of spirit. � The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth
his own flesh. � Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with
travail and vexation of spirit. � Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
There is one alone, and there is not a second ; yea, he hath neither child nor
brother : yet is there no end of all his labor ; neither is his eye satisfied with
riches ; neither saith he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good ? This
is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. � Two are better than one ; because they
have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his
fellow : but woe to him that is alone when he falleth ; for he hath not another to
help him up. "
12613 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers : and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his
stead. And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land : for the king
of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that
pertained to the king of Egypt.
10229 "So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. And the
king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom
returned to his own house, and saw not the king�s face. � But in all Israel there
was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty : from the sole of his
foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. And when he polled
his head, (for 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. And unto Absalom there were born three
sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar : she was a woman of a fair
countenance. � So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king�s
face. Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king ; but he would
not come to him : and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
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.
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore
have thy servants set my field on fire ? 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 had been good for me to have been there still : now
therefore let me see the king�s face ; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him
kill me. 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. "
7354 "So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the
waters of Merom suddenly ; and they fell upon them. And the Lord delivered them
into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto
Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward ; and they smote them, until
they left them none remaining. And Joshua did unto them as the Lord bade him : he
houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire. � And Joshua at that time
turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword : for Hazor
beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms. And they smote all the souls that
were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them : there was not
any left to breathe : and he burnt Hazor with fire. And all the cities of those
kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of
the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord
commanded. But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned
none of them, save Hazor only ; that did Joshua burn. 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 to breathe. 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. "

36385 "So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood,
how shall it be known what is spoken ? for ye shall speak into the air. There are,
it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without
signification. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto
him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel
to the edifying of the church. � Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown
tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit
prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 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. Else, when thou shalt bless with the
spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy
giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest ? For thou verily
givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. I thank my God, I speak with
tongues more than ye all : yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my
understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words
in an unknown tongue. � Brethren, be not children in understanding : howbeit in
malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. In the law it is written, With
men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people ; and yet for all
that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not
to them that believe, but to them that believe not : but prophesying serveth not
for them that believe not, but for them which believe. "
37161 "So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his
wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh ; but nourisheth and
cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church : for we are members of his body, of his
flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a
great mystery : but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless, let
every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself ; and the wife see
that she reverence her husband. "
22528 so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the
Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks
uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia
their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. And the inhabitant of this isle shall
say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be
delivered from the king of Assyria : and how shall we escape ?
28123 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. � And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall
drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah
shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord,
and shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall
be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because
they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall dwell for ever, and
Jerusalem from generation to generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I have
not cleansed : for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy ; and mercy
rejoiceth against judgment. "

shall eat : because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness,
wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 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, 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 straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. � 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 ; 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.
Moreover, he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid
of ; and they shall cleave unto thee. 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. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars
of heaven for multitude ; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy
God. And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good,
and to multiply you ; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to
bring you to nought ; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest
to possess it. And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end
of the earth even unto the other ; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. "
812 "so that I come again to my father�s house in peace ; then shall the Lord be
my God : and this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God�s house : and
of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. "
25493 "So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. And 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. Then the city was broken up,
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 by the city round about :) and they went by the way of the plain. 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. Then they took the king, and
carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath ; where he
gave judgment upon him. And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before
his eyes : he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. Then he put out the
eyes of Zedekiah ; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to
Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. "
21539 so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
15726 "So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. 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 be granted thee : and what is thy request ?
and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom. Then Esther the queen
answered and said, If I have found favor 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 : 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 tongue, although the enemy
could not countervail the king�s damage. Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said
unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart
to do so ? And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then
Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. And the king arising from the
banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden : and Haman stood up to
make request for his life to Esther the queen ; for he saw that there was evil
determined against him by the king. Then the king returned out of the palace garden
into the place of the banquet of wine ; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon
Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house
? As the word went out of the king�s mouth, they covered Haman�s face. "
28409 "So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on
sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. � For word came
unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from
him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be
proclaimed 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 : but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry
mightily unto God : yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the
violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn
away from his fierce anger, that we perish not ? � And God saw their works, that
they turned from their evil way ; and God repented of the evil, that he had said
that he would do unto them ; and he did it not. "
14280 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet : for his God gave him rest round
about.
35803 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. � But I
say, Have they not heard ? Yes verily, Their sound went into all the earth, and
their words unto the ends of the world. But I say, Did not Israel know ? First
Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a
foolish nation I will anger you. But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found
of them that sought me not ; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a
disobedient and gainsaying people. "
16732 "So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own
eyes. Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the
kindred of Ram : against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself
rather than God. Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they
had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. Now Elihu had waited till Job had
spoken, because they were elder than he. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in
the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. � And Elihu the son of
Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old ; wherefore
I was afraid, and durst not show you mine opinion. I said, Days should speak, and
multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man : and the
inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Great men are not always
wise : neither do the aged understand judgment. Therefore I said, Hearken to me ; I
also will show mine opinion. Behold, I waited for your words ; I gave ear to your
reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold,
there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words : lest ye
should say, We have found out wisdom : "
13268 "So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that
David had pitched for it : and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings
before God. And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the
peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. And he dealt to
every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good
piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. � And he appointed certain of the Levites to
minister before the ark of the Lord, and to record, and to thank and praise the
Lord God of Israel : Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and
Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom :
and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps ; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals ;
Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of
the covenant of God. "
13393 "So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and
his people ; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered
themselves together from their cities, and came to battle. And when David heard of
it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. And the children of Ammon
came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city : and the kings
that were come were by themselves in the field. � Now when Joab saw that the battle
was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel,
and put them in array against the Syrians. And the rest of the people he delivered
unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the
children of Ammon. 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. Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our
people, and for the cities of our God : and let the Lord do that which is good in
his sight. So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians
unto the battle ; and they fled before him. 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. � 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 [Euphrates] : and Shophach the captain of the
host of Hadarezer went before them. And it was told David ; and he gathered all
Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array
against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they
fought with him. "
13480 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over
Israel.

26171 "Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel
; and say, Thus saith the Lord God ; A great eagle with great wings, long-winged,
full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest
branch of the cedar : he cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it
into a land of traffic ; he set it in a city of merchants. He took also of the seed
of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field ; he placed it by great waters, and
set it as a willow tree. 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. � There was also
another great eagle with great wings and many feathers : and, behold, this vine did
bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might
water it by the furrows of her plantation. It was planted in a good soil by great
waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it
might be a goodly vine. 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
wither ? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power
or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof. Yea, behold, being planted,
shall it prosper ? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it ? it
shall wither in the furrows where it grew. � Moreover the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things
mean ? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken
the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon ; and
hath taken of the king�s seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath
of him : he hath also taken the mighty of the land : "
26609 "Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it, 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. For I will
send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets ; and the wounded shall be
judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side ; and they shall
know that I am the Lord. � And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the
house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that
despised them ; and they shall know that I am the Lord God. � Thus saith the Lord
God ; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom
they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen,
then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. And they
shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards ; yea, they
shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that
despise them round about them ; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God. "
26720 "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. Whom dost thou pass in beauty ? go down, and be
thou laid with the uncircumcised. They shall fall in the midst of them that are
slain by the sword : she is delivered to the sword : draw her and all her
multitudes. The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell
with them that help him : they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the
sword. � Asshur is there and all her company : his graves are about him : all of
them slain, fallen by the sword : whose graves are set in the sides 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. � 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 ; yet have they borne their shame with them that
go down to the pit. They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her
multitude : her graves are round about him : all of them uncircumcised, slain by
the sword : though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they
borne their shame with them that go down to the pit : he is put in the midst of
them that be slain. � There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude : her graves
are round about him : all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they
caused their terror in the land of the living. 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 they have laid their swords under their heads, but their
iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in
the land of the living. "
26085 "Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which
is among the trees of the forest ? Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work ? or
will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon ? Behold, it is cast into the
fire for fuel ; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is
burned. Is it meet for any work ? Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no
work : how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured
it, and it is burned ? 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. And I will set my face against them ; they shall go
out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them ; and ye shall know that I am
the Lord, when I set my face against them. And I will make the land desolate,
because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God. "
25091 son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the
Ammonites. � 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, 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. 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.
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and
returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah. But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah
escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites. 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 mighty men of war,
and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from
Gibeon : and they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by
Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt, because of the Chaldeans : for they were
afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.

37914 "sound speech, that cannot be condemned ; that he that is of the contrary
part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. Exhort servants to be
obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things ; not
answering again ; not purloining, but showing all good fidelity ; that they may
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. � For the grace of God that
bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness
and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world ; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God
and our Saviour Jesus Christ ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us
from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good
works. � These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man
despise thee. "
11702 "spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down. And Elijah
answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come
down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from
heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. � Again also 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. 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. �
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third
captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and
besought him, and said 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. Behold, there came fire
down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their
fifties : therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight. 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. 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 not because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word ? therefore thou
shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. �
So he died according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram
reigned in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of
Judah ; because he had no son. 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 ? "
7625 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of
refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses : that the slayer that
killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither : and they shall be
your refuge from the avenger of blood. And when he that doth flee unto one of those
cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his
cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city
unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. And if the avenger
of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his
hand ; because he smote his neighbor unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. And
he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment,
and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days : then shall the
slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city
from whence he fled. � And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and
Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of
Judah. And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the
wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of
the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. These were the
cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that
sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee
thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the
congregation. "
4214 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make
a singular vow, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation. 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. And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 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. 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. And if it be from sixty years old and above ; if it be a male, then thy
estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. But if he be
poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and
the priest shall value him ; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest
value him. � And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the Lord, all
that any man giveth of such unto the Lord shall be holy. He shall not alter it, nor
change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good : and if he shall at all change
beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy. And if it be any
unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord, then he shall
present the beast before the priest : and the priest shall value it, whether it be
good or bad : as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be. But if he
will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
� 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. 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. "

Jordan into the land of Canaan, then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of
refuge for you, that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at
unawares. And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger ; that the
manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment. And of these
cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge. Ye shall give
three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of
Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge. These six cities shall be a refuge, both
for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among
them ; that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither. � And if
he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer : the
murderer shall surely be put to death. And if he smite him with throwing a stone,
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer : the murderer shall surely be
put to death. Or if he smite him with a hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he is a murderer : the murderer shall surely be put to death. The
revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer : when he meeteth him, he shall
slay him. But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he
die ; or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die : he that smote him shall
surely be put to death ; for he is a murderer : the revenger of blood shall slay
the murderer, when he meeteth him. � But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity,
or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait, or with any stone,
wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was
not his enemy, neither sought his harm : "
4037 "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the
first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets,

be a holy convocation unto you ; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an
offering made by fire unto the Lord. And ye shall do no work in that same day : for
it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be
cut off from among his people. And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in
that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. Ye shall do no
manner of work : it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all
your dwellings. It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your
souls : in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye
celebrate your sabbath. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the
feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord. On the first day shall be a holy
convocation : ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto the Lord ; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation
unto you, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord : it is a
solemn assembly ; and ye shall do no servile work therein. � These are the 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 meat offering, a sacrifice, and
drink offerings, every thing upon his day : "

profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and
that which your soul pitieth ; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left
shall fall by the sword. And ye shall do as I have done : ye shall not cover your
lips, nor eat the bread of men. 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 for
your iniquities, and mourn one toward another. Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign :
according to all that he hath done shall ye do : and when this cometh, ye shall
know that I am the Lord God. � Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day
when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their
eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, that
he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with
thine ears ? In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and
thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb : and thou shalt be a sign unto them ; and
they shall know that I am the Lord. "

the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my
words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the
earth, and that they may teach their children. And ye came near and stood under the
mountain ; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with
darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst
of the fire : ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude ; only ye
heard a voice. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to
perform, even ten commandments ; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. 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. "

that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to
every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is
become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law ; ye are
fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by
faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision ; but faith which worketh by love. Ye did run well ; who did hinder
you that ye should not obey the truth ? This persuasion cometh not of him that
calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. I have confidence in you
through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded : but he that troubleth you
shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach
circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution ? then is the offense of the cross
ceased. I would they were even cut off which trouble you. � For, brethren, ye have
been called unto liberty ; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but
by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this ;
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another,
take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. "

burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city ! And they cast dust on
their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city,
wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness !
for in one hour is she made desolate. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy
apostles and prophets ; for God hath avenged you on her. � And a mighty angel took
up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with
violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more
at all. "

Lord. Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness ; and let them not
rejoice over me. Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it : let
them not say, We have swallowed him up. Let them be ashamed and brought to
confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt : let them be clothed with shame and
dishonor that magnify themselves against me. Let them shout for joy, and be glad,
that favor my righteous cause : yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be

not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame. Debate
thy cause with thy neighbor himself ; and discover not a secret to another : lest
he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. A word fitly
spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. As an earring of gold, and an
ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. As the cold of
snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him : for

soft tongue breaketh the bone. Hast thou found honey ? Eat so much as is sufficient

and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an
inheritance among all them which are sanctified. I have coveted no man�s silver, or
gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my

Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. � And when he had
thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. And they all wept sore, and
fell on Paul�s neck, and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the words which he
spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the

offering of thine hand : but thou must eat them before the Lord thy God in the
place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and
thy 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 hands
unto. Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest

promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to
eat flesh ; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. If the place
which the Lord thy God hath chosen 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 in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth
after. Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them : the
unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. Only be sure that thou eat not the
blood : for the blood is the life ; and thou mayest not eat the life with the
flesh. "

his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense, and the
altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. And thou
shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy : whatsoever toucheth them shall be
holy. And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may
minister unto me in the priest�s office. And thou shalt speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil unto me throughout your
generations. Upon man�s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any
other like it, after the composition of it : it is holy, and it shall be holy unto
you. Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a
stranger, shall even be cut off from his people. � And the Lord said unto Moses,
Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum ; these sweet spices
with pure frankincense : of each shall there be a like weight : and thou shalt make
it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure
and holy : and thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the
testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee : it
shall be unto you most holy. "

and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the Lord. And Solomon offered a
sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty
thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the
children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord. The same day did the king
hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord : for there he
offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings :
because the brazen altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive the
burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings. � And at
that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from
the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven
days and seven days, even fourteen days. 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 done for David his servant, and for
Israel his people.

thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to

foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law ;
for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is a heretic, after the first and

and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He
therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us
his Holy Spirit. � But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you

sacrifice. And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness ; and having
rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto
the Lord my God, and said, � O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to
thee, my God : for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is
grown up unto the heavens. Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great
trespass 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 a spoil and to confusion of face, as it is this day. And now for
a little space grace hath been showed 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. For we were 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 desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in
Jerusalem. � And now, O our God, what shall we say after this ? for we have
forsaken thy commandments, which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets,
saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the
filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled
it from one end to another with their uncleanness. Now therefore give not your
daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek
their peace or their wealth for ever : that ye may be strong, and eat the good of
the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. "

Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, whom he had
delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. � 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. Now I
know that the Lord is greater than all gods : for in the thing wherein they dealt
proudly he was above them. 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.

Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, 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. And Abraham bowed
down himself before the people of the land. And he spake unto Ephron in the
audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee,
hear me : I will give thee money for the field ; take it of me, and I will bury my
dead there. And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, My lord, hearken unto
me : the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver ; what is that betwixt me and
thee ? bury therefore thy dead. And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron ; and Abraham
weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of
Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant. � And 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 borders round about, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession in the
presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah

razor upon mine head ; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother�s womb :

like any other man. � And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she
sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he
hath showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her,
and brought money in their hand. And she made him sleep upon her knees ; and she
called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head ; and
she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. And she said, The
Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will

this covenant, and do them. 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. Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear,
but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart : therefore I will
bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do ; but
they did them not. � And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men
of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They are turned back to the
iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words ; and they went
after other gods to serve them : the house of Israel and the house of Judah have
broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. Therefore thus saith the Lord,
Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape ; and
though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. Then shall the cities
of Judah and 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.
For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah ; and according to
the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful
thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal. � Therefore pray not thou for this
people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them : for I will not hear them in the
time that they cry unto me for their trouble. What hath my beloved to do in mine
house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed

setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity
before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me ; I the
Lord will answer him by myself : and I will set my face against that man, and will
make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people ;
and ye shall know that I am the Lord. And if the prophet be deceived when he hath
spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my
hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. And they
shall bear the punishment of their iniquity : the punishment of the prophet shall
be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him ; that the house of Israel
may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their
transgressions ; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the

watered the flock of Laban his mother�s brother. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and
lifted up his voice, and wept. 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. � 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. And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my
flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. � And Laban said unto Jacob,
Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought ? tell
me, what shall thy wages be ? And Laban had two daughters : the name of the elder
was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah was tender eyed ; but Rachel
was beautiful and well-favored. And Jacob loved Rachel ; and said, I will serve
thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. And Laban said, It is better that
I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man : abide with me. And
Jacob served seven years for Rachel ; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for
the love he had to her. � And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days
are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. And Laban gathered together all the men
of the place, and made a feast. 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. And Laban gave
unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for a handmaid. And it came to pass, that in
the morning, 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 ? "
9808 "that place was called Helkath-hazzurim [the field of strong men], which is
in Gibeon. And there was a very sore battle that day ; and Abner was beaten, and
the men of Israel, before the servants of David. � And there were three sons of
Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel : and Asahel was as light of foot as a
wild roe. And Asahel pursued after Abner ; and in going he turned not to the right
hand nor to the left from following Abner. Then Abner looked behind him, and said,
Art thou Asahel ? And he answered, I am. 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 armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him. 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 ?
Howbeit he refused to turn aside : wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear
smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him ; and he fell
down there, and died in the same place : and it came to pass, that as many as came
to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still. � Joab also 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. And the
children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one
troop, and stood on the top of a hill. 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 ? And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken,
surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his
brother. So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after
Israel no more, neither fought they any more. "
22167 "that say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it : and
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it !
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 ! Woe unto
them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight ! Woe unto
them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink :
which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the
righteous from him ! � Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame
consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall
go up as dust : because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and
despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 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 carcasses were torn in the
midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is
stretched out still. � And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and
will hiss unto them from the end of the earth : and, behold, they shall come with
speed swiftly : 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 : whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses�
hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind : their
roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions ; yea, they shall
roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall
deliver it. And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the
sea : and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow ; and the light is
darkened in the heavens thereof. "
37076 "that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and
partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel. � Whereof I was made a minister,
according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of
his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given,
that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ ; and to
make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of
the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ : to the
intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be
known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose
which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord : in whom we have boldness and access
with confidence by the faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my
tribulations for you, which is your glory. "
26184 "that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that
by keeping of his covenant it might stand. 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 ? or shall he break the
covenant, and be delivered ? 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. Neither
shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by
casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons : seeing he despised
the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done
all these things, he shall not escape. Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; As I
live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken,
even it will I recompense upon his own head. 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. And all his
fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be
scattered toward all winds : and ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it. �
Thus saith the Lord God ; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar,
and will set it ; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and
will plant it upon a high mountain and eminent : 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. 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 "
34845 "that the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles,
upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto
God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Wherefore my sentence is,
that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God : but
that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from
fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses of old time hath
in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
� Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen
men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas ; namely, Judas surnamed
Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren : and they wrote letters by them
after this manner ; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the
brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia : Forasmuch as
we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words,
subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law ; to whom
we gave no such commandment : it seemed good unto us, being assembled with one
accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men that
have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have sent
therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. For it
seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than
these necessary things ; that ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from
blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication : from which if ye keep
yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. "
5957 "that the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbor unawares,
and hated him not in times past ; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he
might live : namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the
Reubenites ; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites ; and Golan in Bashan, of the
Manassites. "
20694 "that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which
flattereth with her words. For at the window of my house I looked through my
casement, and beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young
man void of understanding, passing through the street near her corner ; and he went
the way to her house, in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night.
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtile of
heart. (She is loud and stubborn ; her feet abide not in her house : now is she
without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) So she caught him,
and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, I have peace offerings
with me ; this day have I paid my vows. Therefore came I forth to meet thee,
diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. I have decked my bed with
coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. I have perfumed
my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until
the morning : let us solace ourselves with loves. For the goodman is not at home,
he is gone a long journey : he hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come
home at the day appointed. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, "
19625 "that they may know that this is thy hand ; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
Let them curse, but bless thou : when they arise, let them be ashamed ; but let thy
servant rejoice. Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame ; and let them cover
themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. I will greatly praise the
Lord with my mouth ; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. For he shall stand
at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. "
14241 "that they trespass not against the Lord, and so wrath come upon you, and
upon your brethren : this do, and ye shall not trespass. And, behold, Amariah the
chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord ; and Zebadiah the son of
Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king�s matters : also the
Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with
the good. "
11017 "that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the
place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there : that thou mayest hearken
unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place. And hearken thou to
the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray
toward this place : and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place : and when thou
hearest, forgive. � If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid
upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this
house : then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the
wicked, to bring his way upon his head ; and justifying the righteous, to give him
according to his righteousness. � When thy people Israel be smitten down before the
enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and
confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house : 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. � When heaven is shut up, and
there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee ; if they pray toward this
place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them :
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people
Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain
upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance. � If there
be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if
there be caterpillar ; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities ;
whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be ; 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 : "
17223 "that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider thy
heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast
ordained ; what is man, that thou art mindful of him ? and the son of man, that
thou visitest him ? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the
works of thy hands ; thou hast put all things under his feet : all sheep and oxen,
yea, and the beasts of the field ; the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O Lord our Lord, how
excellent is thy name in all the earth ! "
16951 "that thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest
know the paths to the house thereof ? Knowest thou it, because thou wast then
born ? or because the number of thy days is great ? Hast thou entered into the
treasures of the snow ? Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, which I have
reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war ? By what
way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth ? Who hath
divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of
thunder ; to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is ; on the wilderness,
wherein there is no man ; to satisfy the desolate and waste ground ; and to cause
the bud of the tender herb to spring forth ? Hath the rain a father ? Or who hath
begotten the drops of dew ? Out of whose womb came the ice ? And the hoary frost of
heaven, who hath gendered it ? The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of
the deep is frozen. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the
bands of Orion ? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season ? Or canst thou
guide Arcturus with his sons ? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven ? Canst thou
set the dominion thereof in the earth ? Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds,
that abundance of waters may cover thee ? Canst thou send lightnings, that they may
go, and say unto thee, Here we are ? Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts ? Or
who hath given understanding to the heart ? Who can number the clouds in wisdom ? "
722 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. And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. 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. 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. And he called it Shebah : therefore the name of
the city is Beersheba unto this day. � And Esau was forty years old when he took to
wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon
the Hittite : which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
18532 "that was to my reproach. I made sackcloth also my garment ; and I became a
proverb to them. They that sit in the gate speak against me ; and I was the song of
the drunkards. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time
: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
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. Let not the waterflood overflow me,
neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Hear me, O Lord ; for thy loving-kindness is good : turn unto me according to the
multitude of thy tender mercies. And hide not thy face from thy servant ; for I am
in trouble : hear me speedily. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it : deliver me
because of mine enemies. Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor
: mine adversaries are all before thee. 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. They gave me also gall for my meat ; and in my
thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Let their table become a snare before them :
"
37111 "that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby
they lie in wait to deceive ; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him
in all things, which is the head, even Christ : from whom the whole body fitly
joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the
effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto
the edifying of itself in love. "
33183 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind
bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell
whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so is every one that is born of the
Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be ? Jesus
answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these
things ? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify
that we have seen ; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly
things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly
things ? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven,
even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up : that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have eternal life. "
38735 "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen
with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word
of life ; (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and
show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto
us ;) that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have
fellowship with us : and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son
Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. "
17610 "that will I seek after ; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the
days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion : in the secret of his
tabernacle shall he hide me ; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine
head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me : therefore will I offer in his
tabernacle sacrifices of joy ; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice : have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face ; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I
seek. Hide not thy face far from me ; put not thy servant away in anger : thou hast
been my help ; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my
father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way, O
Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over
unto the will of mine enemies : for false witnesses are risen up against me, and
such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the
goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord : be of good
courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart : wait, I say, on the Lord. "

of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness. And it was so, that when they
that bare the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
And David danced before the Lord with all his might ; and David was girded with a
linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord
with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. � And as the ark of the Lord came
into the city of David, Michal Saul�s daughter looked through a window, and saw
king David leaping and dancing before the Lord ; and she despised him in her heart.
And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of
the tabernacle that David had pitched for it : and David offered burnt offerings
and peace offerings before the Lord. And as soon as David had made an end of
offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of
the Lord of hosts. And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole
multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and
a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one
to his house. � 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 ! And David said unto
Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all
his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel : therefore
will I play before the Lord. And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be
base in mine own sight : and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them
shall I be had in honor. "

man of wicked devices is hated. The simple inherit folly : but the prudent are
crowned with knowledge. The evil bow before the good ; and the wicked at the gates

many friends. He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth : but he that hath mercy on
the poor, happy is he. Do they not err that devise evil ? But mercy and truth shall
be to them that devise good. In all labor there is profit : but the talk of the
lips tendeth only to penury. The crown of the wise is their riches : but the
foolishness of fools is folly. A true witness delivereth souls : but a deceitful
witness speaketh lies. In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence : and his
children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
to depart from the snares of death. In the multitude of people is the king�s
honor : but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. He that is slow
to wrath is of great understanding : but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about ; and fifty cubits round
about for the suburbs thereof. And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of
five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand : and in it shall be the
sanctuary and the most holy place. The holy portion of the land shall be for the
priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the
Lord : and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the
sanctuary. And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of
breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves,
for a possession for twenty chambers. � And ye shall appoint the possession of the
city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the
oblation of the holy portion : it shall be for the whole house of Israel. � And a
portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the
oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the
oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west
side westward, and from the east side eastward : and the length shall be over
against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border. In the land
shall be his possession in Israel : and my princes shall no more oppress my
people ; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according
to their tribes. � 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. � Ye shall have just balances,
and a just ephah, and a just bath. The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure,
that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part
of a homer : the measure thereof shall be after the homer. "

banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they
may go into the gates of the nobles. I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have
also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people ; a tumultuous
noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together : the Lord of hosts mustereth
the host of the battle. "
22457 The burden of Damascus. � Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city,
and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken : they shall be
for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 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.
22487 "The burden of Egypt. � Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and
shall come into Egypt : and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and
the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. And I will set the Egyptians
against the Egyptians : and they shall fight every one against his brother, and
every one against his neighbor ; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof ; and I will destroy the
counsel thereof : and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to
them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. And the Egyptians will I give
over into the hand of a cruel lord ; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith
the Lord, the Lord of hosts. � And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the
river shall be wasted and dried up. "
22426 "The burden of Moab. � Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and
brought to silence ; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to
silence : he is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep : Moab
shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba : on all their heads shall be baldness, and
every beard cut off. In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth :
on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping
abundantly. And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh ; their voice shall be heard even
unto Jahaz : therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out ; his life shall be
grievous unto him. My heart shall cry out for Moab ; his fugitives shall flee unto
Zoar, a heifer of three years old : for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping
shall they go it up ; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of
destruction. For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate : for the hay is withered
away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing. Therefore the abundance they have
gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the
willows. For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab ; the howling thereof
unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim. For the waters of Dimon shall
be full of blood : for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth
of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land. "
28585 "The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. � God
is jealous, and the Lord revengeth ; the Lord revengeth, and is furious ; the Lord
will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The
Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked :
the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the
dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the
rivers : Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The
mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his
presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. � Who can stand before his
indignation ? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger ? his fury is poured
out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. The Lord is good, a stronghold
in the day of trouble ; and he knoweth them that trust in him. But with an
overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness
shall pursue his enemies. What do ye imagine against the Lord ? he will make an
utter end : affliction shall not rise up the second time. For while they be folden
together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured
as stubble fully dry. There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against
the Lord, a wicked counselor. "
22531 "The burden of the desert of the sea. � As whirlwinds in the south pass
through ; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. 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. Therefore are my loins filled with pain : pangs have taken hold upon me, as
the pangs of a woman that travaileth : I was bowed down at the hearing of it ; I
was dismayed at the seeing of it. My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me : the
night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. Prepare the table, watch in
the watchtower, eat, drink : arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. For thus
hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. And
he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of
camels ; and he hearkened diligently with much heed : and he cried, A lion : My
lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my
ward whole nights : and, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of
horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen ; "
22552 The burden of the valley of vision. � What aileth thee now, that thou art
wholly gone up to the housetops ?
29071 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which
stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth
the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto
all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and
against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all
people : all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the
people of the earth be gathered together against it.
29013 "The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus
shall be the rest thereof : when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel,
shall be toward the Lord. And Hamath also shall border thereby ; Tyrus, and Zidon,
though it be very wise. And Tyrus did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up
silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. Behold, the Lord will
cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea ; and she shall be devoured
with fire. � Ashkelon shall see it, and fear ; Gaza also shall see it, and be very
sorrowful, and Ekron ; for her expectation shall be ashamed ; and the king shall
perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. And a bastard shall dwell in
Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. And I will take away his
blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth : but he that
remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah,
and Ekron as a Jebusite. And I will encamp about mine house because of the army,
because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth : and no "
29142 "The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi. � 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, and I hated Esau, and laid his
mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. Whereas Edom
saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places ; thus
saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down ; and they shall
call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath
indignation for ever. And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The Lord will be
magnified from the border of Israel. "
22594 "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 Chittim it is revealed to
them. Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle ; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that
pass over the sea, have replenished. And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the
harvest of the river, is her revenue ; and she is a mart of nations. Be thou
ashamed, O Zidon : for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I
travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring
up virgins. As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at
the report of Tyre. Pass ye over to Tarshish ; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. Is
this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days ? her own feet shall
carry her afar off to sojourn. � Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the
crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of
the earth ? The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory,
and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth. Pass through thy land as
a river, O daughter of Tarshish : there is no more strength. He stretched out his
hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms : the Lord hath given a commandment
against the merchant city, to destroy the strongholds thereof. And he said, Thou
shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon : arise, pass
over to Chittim ; there also shalt thou have no rest. � Behold the land of the
Chaldeans ; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell
in the wilderness : they set "
28652 "The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. � O Lord, how long shall I
cry, and thou wilt not hear ! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not
save ! Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance ? for
spoiling and violence are before me : and there are that raise up strife and
contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth : for
the wicked doth compass about the righteous ; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the
meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. And I
heard a man�s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel,
make this man to understand the vision. So he came near where I stood : and when he
came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face : but he said unto me, Understand, O son
of man : for at the time of the end shall be the vision. � Now as he was speaking
with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground : but he touched me,
and set me upright. And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the
last end of the indignation : for at the time appointed the end shall be. The ram
which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough
goat is the king of Grecia : and the great horn that is between his eyes is the
first king. Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms
shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. 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. And his power shall
be mighty, but not by his own power : and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall
prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And
through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand ; and he shall
magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many : he shall also stand
up against the Prince of princes ; but he shall be broken without hand. "

22621 "The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof ; because they have
transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are
desolate : therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. The
new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. The mirth of
tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp
ceaseth. They shall not drink wine with a song ; strong drink shall be bitter to
them that drink it. The city of confusion is broken down : every house is shut up,
that no man may come in. There is a crying for wine in the streets ; all joy is
darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. In the city is left desolation, and the
gate is smitten with destruction. When thus it shall be in the midst of the land
among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the
gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. � They shall lift up their voice, they
shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel
in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs,
even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me !
the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously ; yea, the treacherous dealers
have dealt very treacherously. � Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O
inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the
noise of the fear shall fall into the pit ; and he that cometh up out of the midst
of the pit shall be taken in the snare : for the windows from on high are open, and
the foundations of the earth do shake. "
25323 "The earth is moved at the noise of their fall ; at the cry the noise thereof
was heard in the Red sea. Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread
his wings over Bozrah : and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom
be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. "
17544 "The earth is the Lord�s, and the fulness thereof ; the world, and they that
dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the
floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord ? Or who shall stand in his holy
place ? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart ; who hath not lifted up his
soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the
Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of
them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye
gates ; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors ; and the King of glory shall
come in. Who is this King of glory ? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in
battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates ; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors ;
and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory ? The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah. "
22637 "The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is
moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be
removed like a cottage ; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it ; and
it shall fall, and not rise again. � And it shall come to pass in that day, that
the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of
the earth upon the earth. 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. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the
Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients
gloriously. "
26693 "the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to
the pit. � Thus saith the Lord God ; In the day when he went down to the grave I
caused a mourning : I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods
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. I made the nations to shake at the
sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit
: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water,
shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. They also went down into hell
with him, unto them that be slain with the sword ; and they that were his arm, that
dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. 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. "

truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. I have no greater joy

disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together : and the other
disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down,
and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying ; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon
Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but
wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which
came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the

of breakings they purify themselves. The sword of him that layeth at him cannot
hold : the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. He esteemeth iron as straw, and
brass as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee : sling stones are turned with
him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble : he laugheth at the shaking of a
spear. Sharp stones are under him : he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the
mire. He maketh the deep to boil like a pot : he maketh the sea like a pot of
ointment. He maketh a path to shine after him ; one would think the deep to be
hoary. Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all
high things : he is a king over all the children of pride. "

34164 "The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both
to do and teach, until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the
Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen : to whom
also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being
seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of
God : and, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not
depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye
have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water ; but ye shall be baptized
with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. "
76 "The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and
the rain from heaven was restrained. And the waters returned from off the earth
continually : and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were
abated. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the
month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 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. � And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah
opened the window of the ark which he had made : and he sent forth a raven, which
went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. Also he
sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of
the ground. But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned
unto him into the ark ; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he
put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. And he
stayed yet other seven days ; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. And
the dove came in to him in the evening, and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf
plucked off : so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. And he
stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove, which returned not again unto
him any more. � And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the
first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the
earth : and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face
of the ground was dry. And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of
the month, was the earth dried. And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the
ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons� wives with thee. "

your rulers. But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his
prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and
be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall
come from the presence of the Lord ; and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before
was preached unto you : whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution
of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since
the world began. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord
your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me ; him shall ye hear in
all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every
soul, which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, and
caused me to pass by them round about : and, behold, there were very many in the
open valley ; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can

Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the
Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones ; Behold, I will cause breath to
enter into you, and ye shall live : 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. � So I prophesied as I was commanded :
and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came
together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up
upon them, and the skin covered them above : but there was no breath in them. 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. 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. � Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel

our parts. "

Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire ? who among us shall dwell with
everlasting burnings ? 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
seeing evil ; he shall dwell on high ; his place of defense shall be the munitions
of rocks : bread shall be given him ; his waters shall be sure. � Thine eyes shall
see the King in his beauty : they shall behold the land that is very far off. Thine
heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe ? where is the receiver ? where is
he that counted the towers ? Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a
deeper speech than thou canst perceive ; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst
not understand. Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities : thine eyes shall see
Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down ; not one
of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof
be broken. "

24870 "the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou
shalt go to Babylon. Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah ; Thus
saith the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword ; but thou shalt die in
peace : and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before
thee, so shall they burn odors for thee ; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah
lord ! for I have pronounced the word, saith the Lord. � Then Jeremiah the prophet
spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 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 defensed cities remained
of the cities of Judah. "

25477 "the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this
Seraiah was a quiet prince. So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should
come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. And
Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt
read all these words ; then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this
place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that
it shall be desolate for ever. 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 : and thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from
the evil that I will bring upon her : and they shall be weary. � Thus far are the
words of Jeremiah. "

17476 "The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord ; and in thy salvation how
greatly shall he rejoice ! Thou hast given him his heart�s desire, and hast not
withholden the request of his lips. Selah. For thou preventest him with the
blessings of goodness : thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. He asked
life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. His
glory is great in thy salvation : honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him. For
thou hast made him most blessed for ever : thou hast made him exceeding glad with
thy countenance. For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the
Most High he shall not be moved. Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies : thy
right hand shall find out those that hate thee. Thou shalt make them as a fiery
oven in the time of thine anger : the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and
the fire shall devour them. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and
their seed from among the children of men. For they intended evil against thee :
they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. Therefore
shalt thou make them turn their back, "
21175 "The king�s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water : he
turneth it whithersoever he will. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes : but
the Lord pondereth the hearts. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the
Lord than sacrifice. A high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked,
is sin. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness ; but of every one
that is hasty only to want. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity
tossed to and fro of them that seek death. The robbery of the wicked shall destroy
them ; because they refuse to do judgment. The way of man is froward and strange :
but as for the pure, his work is right. It is better to dwell in a corner of the
housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. The soul of the wicked
desireth evil : his neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes. When the scorner is
punished, the simple is made wise : and when the wise is instructed, "

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 can hear. So
Hushai David�s friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. "
10748 "the kingdom also ; for he is mine elder brother ; even for him, and for
Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 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. Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which hath
established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a
house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day. And king Solomon
sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ; and he fell upon him that he
died. � 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 hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted. So
Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the Lord ; that he might fulfil
the word of the Lord, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. � Then
tidings came to Joab : for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not
after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on
the horns of the altar. And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the
tabernacle of the Lord ; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah
the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him. And Benaiah came to the tabernacle
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. And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and
fall upon him, and bury him ; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which
Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father. And the Lord shall return his
blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he,
and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner "

against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child
Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles,
and the people of Israel, were gathered together, for to do whatsoever thy hand and
thy counsel determined before to be done. And now, Lord, behold their
threatenings : and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak
thy word, by stretching forth thine hand to heal ; and that signs and wonders may
be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place
was shaken where they were assembled together ; and they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. "

princes eat in the morning ! Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of
nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness !
By much slothfulness the building decayeth ; and through idleness of the hands the
house droppeth through. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry : but
money answereth all things. 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

And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the
people from their works ? get you unto your burdens. And Pharaoh said, Behold, the
people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. And
Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers,
saying, Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore : let
them go and gather straw for themselves. 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. Let
there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein ; and let them
not regard vain words. � 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. Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it : yet not aught of your work
shall be diminished. So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of
Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw. And the taskmasters hasted them, saying,
Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw. 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 in making brick both
yesterday and today, as heretofore ? � Then the officers of the children of Israel
came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy
servants ? 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. But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle : therefore ye say, Let us go and do
sacrifice to the Lord. "

glad thereof. Clouds and darkness are round about him : righteousness and judgment
are the habitation of his throne. A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his
enemies round about. His lightnings enlightened the world : the earth saw, and
trembled. The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of
the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the
people see his glory. Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast
themselves of idols : worship him, all ye gods. Zion heard, and was glad ; and the
daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord. For thou, Lord, art
high above all the earth : thou art exalted far above all gods. "
19271 "The Lord reigneth ; let the people tremble : he sitteth between the cherubim
; let the earth be moved. The Lord is great in Zion ; and he is high above all the
people. Let them praise thy great and terrible name ; for it is holy. The king�s
strength also loveth judgment ; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment
and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool
; for he is holy. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that
call upon his name ; they called upon the Lord, and he answered them. He spake unto
them in the cloudy pillar : they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he
gave them. Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God : thou wast a God that forgavest
them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. Exalt the Lord our God,
and worship at his holy hill ; for the Lord our God is holy. "
19164 "The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty ; the Lord is clothed with
strength, wherewith he hath girded himself : the world also is stablished, that it
cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old : thou art from everlasting. The
floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice ; the floods
lift up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,
yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure : holiness
becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever. "
19629 "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine
enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion :
rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of
thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning : thou hast the
dew of thy youth. The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for
ever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike
through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall
fill the places with the dead bodies ; he shall wound the heads over many
countries. "

Son ; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen
for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron ; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a

the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

Lord : for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount,)
saying, � I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from
the house of bondage. � Thou shalt have none other gods before me. � Thou shalt not
make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth : 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 unto the third
and fourth generation of them that hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of
them that love me and keep my commandments. � 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. � Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath
commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work : but the seventh
day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God : in it thou shalt not do any work, thou,
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy 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. And remember
that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought
thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm : therefore the
Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. � Honor thy father and thy
mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee ; that thy days may be prolonged,
and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he
destroyed. And the Lord shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto
them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you. Be strong and
of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them : for the Lord thy God, he it is
that doth go with thee ; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. � And Moses
called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of
a good courage : for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord
hath sworn unto their fathers to give them ; and thou shalt cause them to inherit
it. 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. � 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. And Moses
commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the
year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, 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. Gather the people together, men, and women,
and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and
that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of
this law : and that their children, which have not known any thing, 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. "

him : your heart shall live for ever. All the ends of the world shall remember and
turn unto the Lord : and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
For the kingdom is the Lord�s : and he is the governor among the nations. All they
that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship : all they that go down to the dust
shall bow before him : and none can keep alive his own soul. A seed shall serve him
; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall
declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of
beauty, God hath shined. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence : a fire
shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. He shall
call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
Gather my saints together unto me ; those that have made a covenant with me by
sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness : for God is judge
himself. Selah. Hear, O my people, and I will speak ; O Israel, and I will testify
against thee : I am God, even thy God. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices
or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. I will take no bullock
out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds : for every beast of the forest is
mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains :
and the wild beasts of the field are mine. "

Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through. Then shall they know that I

abominations which they have committed. � Also, thou son of man, the children of
thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the

you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. And they come unto

returned from searching of the land after forty days. 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 showed them the fruit of the land. 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. Nevertheless the people be strong
that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great : and moreover we
saw the children of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south : and
the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains : and the
Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan. � 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. 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. And they brought up an
evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel,
saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up
the inhabitants thereof ; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great
stature. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants :
and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. "

the spirits. Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
The Lord hath made all things for himself : yea, even the wicked for the day of
evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord : though hand
join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged :
and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. When a man�s ways please the
Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with
righteousness, than great revenues without right. A man�s heart deviseth his way :
but the Lord directeth his steps. A divine sentence is in the lips of the king :
his mouth transgresseth not in judgment. A just weight and balance are the Lord�s :
all the weights of the bag are his work. "

and instruction ; to perceive the words of understanding ; to receive the
instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity ; to give subtilty to the
simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will
increase learning ; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels : to
understand a proverb, and the interpretation ; the words of the wise, and their
dark sayings. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge : but fools
despise wisdom and instruction. "
20790 The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father : but a foolish son
is the heaviness of his mother. Treasures of wickedness profit nothing : but
righteousness delivereth from death. The Lord will not suffer the soul of the
righteous to famish : but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. He becometh
poor that dealeth with a slack hand : but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. He
that gathereth in summer is a wise son : but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son
that causeth shame. Blessings are upon the head of the just : but violence covereth
the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the just is blessed : but the name of the
wicked shall rot. The wise in heart will receive commandments : but a prating fool
shall fall. He that walketh uprightly walketh surely : but he that perverteth his
ways shall be known. He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow : but a prating
fool shall fall. The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life : but violence
covereth the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirreth up strifes : but love covereth
all sins. In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found : but a rod
is for the back of him that is void of understanding. Wise men lay up knowledge :
but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

20806 The rich man�s wealth is his strong city : the destruction of the poor is
their poverty. The labor of the righteous tendeth to life : the fruit of the wicked
to sin. He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction : but he that refuseth
reproof erreth. He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a
slander, is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin : but he that
refraineth his lips is wise. The tongue of the just is as choice silver : the heart
of the wicked is little worth. The lips of the righteous feed many : but fools die
for want of wisdom. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no
sorrow with it. It is as sport to a fool to do mischief : but a man of
understanding hath wisdom. The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him : but the
desire of the righteous shall be granted. As the whirlwind passeth, so is the
wicked no more : but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. As vinegar to the
teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. The fear
of the Lord prolongeth days : but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The
hope of the righteous shall be gladness : but the expectation of the wicked shall
perish. The way of the Lord is strength to the upright : but destruction shall be
to the workers of iniquity. The righteous shall never be removed : but the wicked
shall not inhabit the earth. The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom : but the
froward tongue shall be cut out.

Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion ; they, they are thy lot :

Should I receive comfort in these ? Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set

covenant with them ; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it. And thou wentest
to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy
messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell. Thou art wearied in
the greatness of thy way ; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope : thou hast found
the life of thine hand ; therefore thou wast not grieved. � And of whom hast thou
been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it
to thy heart ? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not ? "

and the whole multitude stood on the shore. And he spake many things unto them in
parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow ; and when he sowed, some seeds
fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up : some fell upon stony
places, where they had not much earth : and forthwith they sprung up, because they
had no deepness of earth : and when the sun was up, they were scorched ; and
because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns ; and the
thorns sprung up, and choked them : but other fell into good ground, and brought
forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to
hear, let him hear. "

captain of the host of Judah. Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of
Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever : but upon David, and upon his seed,
and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the
Lord. So 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. 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. � And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him,
Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any
whither. For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the
brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die : thy blood
shall be upon thine own head. 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. � And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of
the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they
told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath. 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. And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from
Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again. 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 a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any
whither, that thou shalt surely die ? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have
heard is good.

came from the war, and said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither :
for whereas we have offended against the Lord already, ye intend to add more to our
sins and to our trespass : for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath
against Israel. So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes
and all the congregation. And the men which were 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, to their brethren : then they returned to Samaria. � At that
time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him. For again the
Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives. The Philistines
also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had
taken Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof,
and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof : and
they dwelt there. For the Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel ;
for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord. And Tilgath-
pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him
not. 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
he helped him not. � And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more
against the Lord : this is that king Ahaz. 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 "

Tishbite, saying, Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria :
behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. 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. � 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 work evil in the
sight of the Lord. Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy
posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him
that is shut up and left in Israel, and 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 made Israel to sin. And
of Jezebel also spake the Lord, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of
Jezreel. 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. � But there was none like unto
Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom
Jezebel his wife stirred up. And he did very abominably in following idols,
according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the
children of Israel. "
25449 "The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the
inhabitant of Zion say ; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall
Jerusalem say. Therefore thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and
take vengeance for thee ; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry. And
Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and a
hissing, without an inhabitant. They shall roar together like lions : they shall
yell as lions� whelps. In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them
drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith
the Lord. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he
goats. � How is Sheshach taken ! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised
! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations ! The sea is come up upon
Babylon : she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. Her cities are a
desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither
doth any son of man pass thereby. And I will punish 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. �
My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from
the fierce anger of the Lord. And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumor
that shall be heard in the land ; a rumor shall both come one year, and after that
in another year shall come a rumor, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of
Babylon : and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in
the midst of her. "
22182 The Vision and Call of Isaiah
22032 "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. �
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. The ox
knoweth his owner, and the ass his master�s crib : but Israel doth not know, my
people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of
evildoers, children that are corrupters : they have forsaken the Lord, they have
provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. � Why
should ye be stricken any more ? ye will revolt more and more : the whole head is
sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there
is no soundness in it ; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores : they have
not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is
desolate, your cities are burned with fire : your land, strangers devour it in your
presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. And the daughter of Zion
is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a
besieged city. Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we
should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. "

forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched ; because they are more than
the grasshoppers, and are innumerable. The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded ;
she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north. � The Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel, saith ; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and
Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings ; even Pharaoh, and all them
that trust in him : 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 afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith
the Lord. � But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel :
for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their
captivity ; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make
him afraid. Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord : for I am with
thee ; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee :
but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure ; yet will I
not leave thee wholly unpunished. "

mountains ; the earth with her bars was about me for ever : yet hast thou brought
up my life from corruption, O Lord my God. When my soul fainted within me I
remembered the Lord : and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. They

running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees
of the field. Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field,
and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the
multitude of waters, when he shot forth. 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. Thus was he fair in his
greatness, in the length of his branches : for his root was by great waters. The
cedars in the garden of God could not hide him : the fir trees were not like his
boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches ; not any tree in the
garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. I have made him fair by the
multitude of his branches ; so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden
of God, envied him. � Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Because thou hast lifted
up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his
heart is lifted up in his height ; I have therefore delivered him into the hand of
the mighty one of the heathen ; he shall surely deal with him : I have driven him
out for his wickedness. And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him
off, and have left him : upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are
fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land ; and all the
people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. Upon his ruin
shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be
upon his branches : to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt
themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs,
neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water : for they are
all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of "

they have made them crooked paths ; whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. �
Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us : we wait for
light, but behold obscurity ; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. We grope for
the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes : we stumble at noonday
as in the night ; we are in desolate places as dead men. 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. 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 ; in transgressing and lying against the Lord, and
departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and
uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward,
and justice standeth afar off : for truth is fallen in the street, and equity
cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth ; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a
prey. � And the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. And
he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor :
therefore his arm brought salvation unto him ; and his righteousness, it sustained
him. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon
his head ; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with
zeal as a cloak. According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his
adversaries, recompense to his enemies ; to the islands he will repay recompense.

son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth
year, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising
early and speaking ; but ye have not hearkened. And the Lord hath sent unto you all
his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them ; but ye have not
hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. They said, Turn ye again now every one
from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the
Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever : and go not after
other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the
works of your hands ; and I will do you no hurt. Yet ye have not hearkened unto me,
saith the Lord ; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to
your own hurt. � Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts ; Because ye have not heard
my words, behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the
Lord, and 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 will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment,
and a hissing, and perpetual desolations. 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. And this
whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment ; and these nations shall
serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy
years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation,

21433 The Wicked and the Righteous
21434 "The wicked flee when no man pursueth : but the righteous are bold as a lion.
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof : but by a man of
understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. A poor man that
oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. They that
forsake the law praise the wicked : but such as keep the law contend with them.
Evil men understand not judgment : but they that seek the Lord understand all
things. Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is
perverse in his ways, though he be rich. Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son : but
he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. He that by usury and
unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the
poor. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be
abomination. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall
himself into his own pit : but the upright shall have good things in possession.
The rich man is wise in his own conceit ; but the poor that hath understanding
searcheth him out. When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory : but when
the wicked rise, a man is hidden. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper : but
whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Happy is the man that feareth
always : but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. "
19912 "The wicked have laid a snare for me : yet I erred not from thy precepts. Thy
testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever : for they are the rejoicing of my
heart. I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes always, even unto the
end. samech I hate vain thoughts : but thy law do I love. Thou art my hiding place
and my shield : I hope in thy word. Depart from me, ye evildoers : for I will keep
the commandments of my God. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live :
and let me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe : and I
will have respect unto thy statutes continually. Thou hast trodden down all them
that err from thy statutes : for their deceit is falsehood. Thou puttest away all
the wicked of the earth like dross : therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh
trembleth for fear of thee ; and I am afraid of thy judgments. ain I have done
judgment and justice : leave me not to mine oppressors. Be surety for thy servant
for good : let not the proud oppress me. Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for
the word of thy righteousness. Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and
teach me thy statutes. I am thy servant ; give me understanding, that I may know
thy testimonies. It is time for thee, Lord, to work : "

the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the
other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting
and prayer ; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your
incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. For I would
that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one
after this manner, and another after that. � I say therefore to the unmarried and
widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain,
let them marry : for it is better to marry than to burn. � And unto the married I
command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband : but
and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband : and
let not the husband put away his wife. � But to the rest speak I, not the Lord :
If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with
him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath a husband that believeth
not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the
unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is
sanctified by the husband : else were your children unclean ; but now are they
holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not
under bondage in such cases : but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest
thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband ? or how knowest thou, O man,
whether thou shalt save thy wife ? � But as God hath distributed to every man, as
the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. "

excellency of our God. � Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble
knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not : behold, your
God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense ; he will come and save
you. � Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall
be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb
sing : for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And
the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water : in
the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. �
And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness
; the unclean shall not pass over it ; but it shall be for those : the wayfaring
men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous
beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there ; but the redeemed shall
walk there : and the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs
and everlasting joy upon their heads : they shall obtain joy and gladness, and

ears to hear, and hear not : for they are a rebellious house. 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. Then shalt thou bring forth thy
stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing : and thou shalt go forth at
even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity. Dig thou through the
wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. In their sight shalt thou bear it upon
thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight : thou shalt cover thy face, that
thou see not the ground : for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
� And I did so as I was commanded : I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for
captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand ; I brought it
forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight. � And in the
morning came the word of the Lord unto me, saying, Son of man, hath not the house
of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou ? Say thou unto

Lord God ; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty. Thy borders are in the
midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty. They have made all thy
ship boards of fir trees of Senir : they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make

heathen. And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia,

yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God :
behold, thou art wiser than Daniel ; there is no secret that they can hide from
thee : with thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches,
and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures : by thy great wisdom and by thy
traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy
riches : therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Because thou hast set thine heart as
the heart of God ; behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible
of the nations : and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom,
and they shall defile thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and

women, the daughters of one mother : 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. And the names of them were Aholah the
elder, and Aholibah her sister : and they were mine, and they bare sons and
daughters. Thus were their names ; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah. � And
Aholah played the harlot when she was mine ; and she doted on her lovers, on the
Assyrians her neighbors, which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of
them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. Thus she committed her
whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with
all on whom she doted : with all their idols she defiled herself. Neither left she
her whoredoms brought from Egypt : for in her youth they lay with her, and they

begat them in this land ; They shall die of grievous deaths ; they shall not be
lamented ; neither shall they be buried ; but they shall be as dung upon the face
of the earth : and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine ; and their
carcasses shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. �

nor bemoan them : for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord,
even loving-kindness and mercies. Both the great and the small shall die in this
land : they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut
themselves, nor make themselves bald for them : neither shall men tear themselves
for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead ; neither shall men give them

grapes, and the children�s teeth are set on edge ? As I live, saith the Lord God,
ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 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. � But if a man be just, and do that which is
lawful and right, 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 neighbor�s wife,

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 ; 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, hath walked in
my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly ; he is just, he shall
surely live, saith the Lord God. � If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of
blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things, and that doeth not any
of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor�s
wife, hath oppressed 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, "

cry of Jerusalem is gone up. And their nobles have sent their little ones to the
waters : they came to the pits, and found no water ; they returned with their
vessels empty ; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads. Because
the ground is chapped, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were
ashamed, they covered their heads. Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and
forsook it, because there was no grass. And the wild asses did stand in the high
places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons ; their eyes did fail, because there
was no grass. � O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for
thy name�s sake : for our backslidings are many ; we have sinned against thee. O
the hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be
as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a
night ? Why shouldest thou be as a man astonished, 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. � Thus saith the Lord unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander,
they have not refrained their feet, therefore the Lord doth not accept them ; he
will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. Then said the Lord unto me,
Pray not for this people for their good. When they fast, I will not hear their

Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and
Jerusalem. � Hear, all ye people ; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is : and
let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. For,
behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon
the high places of the earth. And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the
valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured
down a steep place. 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 ? Therefore I will make
Samaria as a heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard : and I will pour
down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations
thereof. And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the
hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay
desolate : for she gathered it of the hire of a harlot, and they shall return to
the hire of a harlot. � Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and
naked : I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. For her
wound is incurable ; for it is come unto Judah ; he is come unto the gate of my
people, even to Jerusalem. Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all : in the
house of Aphrah [dust] roll thyself in the dust. "

the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of
whoredoms : for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord. So
he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim ; which conceived, and bare him a
son. � 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 to
cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. And it shall come to pass at that day,
that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel. � And she conceived
again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah [not
having obtained mercy] : for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel ;
but I will utterly take them away. 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. � Now when she had weaned Lo-
ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi [not
my people] : for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. � 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

stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates. � Who is this that
cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers ? Egypt riseth up like a
flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers ; and he saith, I will go up, and
will cover the earth ; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. Come

cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall
fall down and worship the golden image : and whoso falleth not down and
worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of
Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ; these men, O king, have not regarded
thee : they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set
up. � Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. Nebuchadnezzar
spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ? do not ye
serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up ? 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 ; "
458 "Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto
us ? and what have I offended 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. And Abimelech
said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing ? 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. And yet indeed she is my sister ; she is the
daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother ; and she became my wife.
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 show unto me ; at every place
whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. And Abimelech took sheep, and
oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored
him Sarah his wife. And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee : dwell
where it pleaseth thee. And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a
thousand pieces of silver : behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all
that are with thee, and with all other : thus she was reproved. So Abraham prayed
unto God : and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants ; and they
bare children. For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of
Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham�s wife. "
646 "Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him
Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And Jokshan
begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and
Leummim. And the sons of Midian ; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and
Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. And Abraham gave all that he had
unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave
gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto
the east country. "
35319 "Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then
Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself : � I think myself happy,
king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all
the things whereof I am accused of the Jews : especially because I know thee to be
expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews : wherefore I beseech
thee to hear me patiently. � My manner of life from my youth, which was at the
first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews ; which knew me from
the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our
religion I lived a Pharisee. And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the
promise made of God unto our fathers : unto which promise our twelve tribes,
instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope�s sake, king
Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. Why should it be thought a thing incredible with
you, that God should raise the dead ? "
13101 "Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we
are thy bone and thy flesh. And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king,
thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel : and the Lord thy God said
unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people
Israel. Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron ; and David
made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord ; and they anointed David king
over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel. "
25094 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,
8511 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered
together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the
Lord in Mizpeh. And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel,
presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand
footmen that drew sword.
14431 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made
him king in the room of his father Amaziah. He built Eloth, and restored it to
Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
16527 "Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, Dominion and fear are with him ;
he maketh peace in his high places. Is there any number of his armies ? And upon
whom doth not his light arise ? How then can man be justified with God ? Or how can
he be clean that is born of a woman ? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not ;
yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, that is a worm ? and
the son of man, which is a worm ? "
16292 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, How long will it be ere ye make
an end of words ? Mark, and afterward we will speak.
15998 "Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, How long wilt thou speak these
things ? And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind ? Doth God
pervert judgment ? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice ? If thy children have
sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression ; if thou
wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty ; if thou
wert pure and upright ; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation
of thy righteousness prosperous. Though thy beginning was small, "
16217 "Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, Should a wise man utter vain
knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind ? Should he reason with
unprofitable talk ? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good ? Yea, thou
castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. For thy mouth uttereth thine
iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. Thine own mouth condemneth
thee, and not I : yea, thine own lips testify against thee. Art thou the first man
that was born ? Or wast thou made before the hills ? Hast thou heard the secret of
God ? And dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself ? What knowest thou, that we know
not ? What understandest thou, which is not in us ? With us are both the grayheaded
and very aged men, much elder than thy father. Are the consolations of God small
with thee ? Is there any secret thing with thee ? Why doth thine heart carry thee
away ? And what do thy eyes wink at, that thou turnest thy spirit against God, and
lettest such words go out of thy mouth ? What is man, that he should be clean ? and
he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous ? Behold, he putteth no
trust in his saints ; "
33472 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived ? Have any of the
rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him ? But this people who knoweth not the
law are cursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being
one of them,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he
doeth ? They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee ? Search, and
look : for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
16089 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, Should not the multitude of
words be answered ? And should a man full of talk be justified ? Should thy lies
make men hold their peace ? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed ?
16366 "Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, Therefore do my thoughts
cause me to answer, and for this I make haste. I have heard the check of my
reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. Knowest thou not
this of old, since man was placed upon earth, that the triumphing of the wicked is
short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment ? Though his excellency mount
up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds ; yet he shall perish for
ever like his own dung : they which have seen him shall say, Where is he ? He shall
fly away as a dream, and shall not be found : yea, he shall be chased away as a
vision of the night. The eye also which saw him shall see him no more ; neither
shall his place any more behold him. His children shall seek to please the poor,
and his hands shall restore their goods. His bones are full of the sin of his
youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. Though wickedness be sweet in his
mouth, though he hide it under his tongue ; though he spare it, and forsake it not,
but keep it still within his mouth ; yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is
the gall of asps within him. He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them
up again : God shall cast them out of his belly. He shall suck the poison of asps :
the viper�s tongue shall slay him. "
14152 "Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house ; for he was
in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the
same time. � And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in
the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of
his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great : yet in
his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians. And Asa slept with
his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. And they buried
him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and
laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and divers kinds of spices
prepared by the apothecaries� art : and they made a very great burning for him. "
15673 "Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king�s chamberlains, whom he had
appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what
it was, and why it was. So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the
city, which was before the king�s gate. And Mordecai told him of all that had
happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to
the king�s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. Also he gave him the copy of
the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show 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. And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. Again Esther
spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai ; 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 of his to put him 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. And they told to Mordecai Esther�s words. Then
Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape
in the king�s house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy
peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews
from another place ; but thou and thy father�s house shall be destroyed : and who
knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this ? Then Esther
bade them return Mordecai this answer, 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 "
9897 "Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying,
Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. Also in time past, when Saul was king over
us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel : and the Lord said to
thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel. So
all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron ; and king David made a league
with them in Hebron before the Lord : and they anointed David king over Israel.
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. In
Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months : and in Jerusalem he
reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah. "
26047 "Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. And
the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, these men have set up their
idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their
face : should I be inquired of at all by them ? Therefore speak unto them, and say
unto them, Thus saith the Lord God ; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth
up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before
his face, and cometh to the prophet ; I the Lord will answer him that cometh,
according to the multitude of his idols ; "
9421 "Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest : and Ahimelech was afraid at
the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee ?
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 my servants to such and
such a place. Now therefore what is under thine hand ? give me five loaves of bread
in mine hand, or what there is present. And the priest answered David, and said,
There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread ; if the
young men have kept themselves at least from women. And David answered the priest,
and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days,
since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a
manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel. So the priest
gave him hallowed bread : for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was
taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. �
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the
Lord ; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged
to Saul. "
34876 "Then came he to Derbe and Lystra : and, behold, a certain disciple was
there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and
believed ; but his father was a Greek : which was well reported of by the brethren
that were at Lystra and Iconium. Him would Paul have to go forth with him ; and
took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters : for
they knew all that his father was a Greek. And as they went through the cities,
they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and
elders which were at Jerusalem. And so were the churches established in the faith,
and increased in number daily. "
27498 "Then came in all the king�s wise men : but they could not read the writing,
nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. Then was king Belshazzar
greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were
astonished. � Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came
into the banquet house : and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever : let
not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed : there is a man
in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods ; and in the days of thy
father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found
in him ; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made
master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers ; forasmuch as an
excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and
showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel,
whom the king named Belteshazzar : now let Daniel be called, and he will show the
interpretation. � Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And 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 Jewry ? I have even
heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and
understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. And now the wise men, the
astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing,
and make known unto me the interpretation thereof : but they could not show the
interpretation of the thing : and I have heard of thee, that thou canst make
interpretations, and dissolve doubts : now if thou canst read the writing, and make
known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and
have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. "
7637 "Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the
priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the
tribes of the children of Israel ; and they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land
of Canaan, saying, The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to
dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle. And the children of Israel gave
unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these
cities and their suburbs. � And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites
: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out
of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of
Benjamin, thirteen cities. � And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out
of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of
the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. � And the children of Gershon had by lot
out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and
out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan,
thirteen cities. � The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe of
Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve
cities. � And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with
their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. � And they gave out of
the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon,
these cities which are here mentioned by name, which the children of Aaron, being
of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had : for
theirs was the first lot. "
34372 "Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison
are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. Then went the captain with the
officers, and brought them without violence : for they feared the people, lest they
should have been stoned. � And when they had brought them, they set them before the
council : and the high priest asked them, saying, Did not we straitly command you
that ye should not teach in this name ? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with
your doctrine, and intend to bring this man�s blood upon us. Then Peter and the
other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of
our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God
exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to
Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things ; and so
is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. � When they
heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them. Then stood
there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had
in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a
little space ; and said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what
ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas,
boasting himself to be somebody ; to whom a number of men, about four hundred,
joined themselves : who was slain ; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered,
and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the
taxing, and drew away much people after him : he also perished ; and all, even as
many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 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 come to
nought : "
5062 "Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the
desert of Zin in the first month : and the people abode in Kadesh ; and Miriam died
there, and was buried there. � And there was no water for the congregation : and
they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. And the people
chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren
died before the Lord ! And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into
this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there ? 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. And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces : and
the glory of the Lord appeared unto them. "
5370 "Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead,
the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of
Joseph : and these are the names of his daughters ; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and
Milcah, and Tirzah. And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and
before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, saying, Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the
company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company
of Korah ; but died in his own sin, and had no sons. Why should the name of our
father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son ? Give unto us
therefore a possession among the brethren of our father. "
29898 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
30974 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which
came from Jerusalem.
14949 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased
unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
14967 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the
rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. And there was found at
Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein
was a record thus written : In the first year of Cyrus the king, the same Cyrus the
king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be
13464 Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of
the burnt offering for Israel.
32503 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
15187 "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 Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel. And next
unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of
Imri. � But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams
thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. And
next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next unto
them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next unto
them repaired Zadok the son of Baana. And next unto them the Tekoites repaired ;
but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord. "
16439 "Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, Can a man be profitable unto
God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself ? Is it any pleasure to the
Almighty, that thou art righteous ? Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways
perfect ? Will he reprove thee for fear of thee ? Will he enter with thee into
judgment ? Is not thy wickedness great ? and thine iniquities infinite ? For thou
hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their
clothing. Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden
bread from the hungry. But as for the mighty man, he had the earth ; and the
honorable man dwelt in it. Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the
fatherless have been broken. Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear
troubleth thee ; or darkness, that thou canst not see ; and abundance of waters
cover thee. Is not God in the height of heaven ? And behold the height of the
stars, how high they are ! And thou sayest, How doth God know ? Can he judge
through the dark cloud ? Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not ;
and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. "
15885 "Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, If we assay to commune with
thee, wilt thou be grieved ? But who can withhold himself from speaking ? Behold,
thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. Thy words
have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest ; it toucheth thee, and thou art
troubled. Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of
thy ways ? Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent ? Or where were
the righteous cut off ? Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow
wickedness, reap the same. By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of
his nostrils are they consumed. The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the
fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. The old lion perisheth
for lack of prey, and the stout lion�s whelps are scattered abroad. Now a thing was
secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof. In thoughts from
the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, fear came upon me, and
trembling, which made all my bones to shake. Then a spirit passed before my face ;
the hair of my flesh stood up : it stood still, but I could not discern the form
thereof : "
11914 "Then 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. Then a lord on whose
hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would
make windows in heaven, might this thing be ? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see
it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. � And 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 ? 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 "
36846 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and
took Titus with me also.
27131 "Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which
looketh toward the east ; and it was shut. "
27075 "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 before the building toward the north. Before the length of a hundred
cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. Over against the
twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which
was for the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. And before
the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit ; and
their doors toward the north. Now the upper chambers were shorter : for the
galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the
building. For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the
courts : therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the
middlemost from the ground. And the wall that was without over against the
chambers, toward the outer court on the forepart of the chambers, the length
thereof was fifty cubits. "
32098 "Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and
authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the
kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your
journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money ; neither have two
coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very
dust from your feet for a testimony against them. And they departed, and went
through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. "
13874 "then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the
wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head ; and by justifying the
righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness. � And if thy people Israel
be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee ; and
shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in
this house ; then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people
Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their
fathers. � When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have
sinned against thee ; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and
turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them ; then hear thou from heaven, and
forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught
them the good way, wherein they should walk ; and send rain upon thy land, which
thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance. � If there be dearth in the
land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locusts or
caterpillars ; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land ;
whatsoever sore, or whatsoever sickness there be : then what prayer or what
supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when
every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his
hands in this house : then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive,
and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest ;
(for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men ;) that they may fear
thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto
our fathers. � Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel,
but is come from a far country for thy great name�s sake, and "
11029 "then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give
to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest ; (for thou, even thou
only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men ;) that they may fear thee all
the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. � Moreover
concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far
country for thy name�s sake ; (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy
strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm ;) when he shall come and pray toward
this house : hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that
the stranger calleth to thee for : that all people of the earth may know thy name,
to fear thee, as do thy people Israel ; and that they may know that this house,
which I have builded, is called by thy name. � If thy people go out to battle
against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the
Lord toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built
for thy name : then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and
maintain their cause. � 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 captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near ; yet if they
shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and
repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them
captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed
wickedness ; and so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul,
in the land of their enemies, which led them away 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 : "
11041 then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling
place, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people that have sinned against
thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and
give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have
compassion on them : for they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou
broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron : that thine
eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of
thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee. For
thou didst separate them from among all the people 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. � 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 up
to heaven. And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud
voice, saying, 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. The Lord our God be
with us, as he was with our fathers : let him not leave us, nor forsake us : 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.
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 at all times, as the matter shall require :
25897 "Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire : from the
appearance of his loins even downward, fire ; and from his loins even upward, as
the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber. And he put forth the form of
a 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 inner gate that looketh toward the north ; where was the seat of the
image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. And, behold, the glory of the God
of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. � 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 at the gate of
the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. He said furthermore unto me, Son of
man, seest thou what they do ? even the great abominations that the house of Israel
committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary ? but turn thee yet
again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. � And he brought me to the door of
the court ; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son
of man, dig now in the wall : and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. And
he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. So I
went in and saw ; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts,
and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about. And
there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in
the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in
his hand ; and a thick cloud of incense went up. Then said he unto me, Son of man,
hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man
in the "
27600 "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. I saw the ram pushing westward, and
northward, and southward ; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was
there any that could deliver out of his hand ; but he did according to his will,
and became great. � And as I was considering, behold, a he goat came from the west
on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground : and the goat had a
notable horn between his eyes. And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I
had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power. 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 stamped upon him : and there
was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. Therefore the he goat waxed
very great : and when he was strong, the great horn was broken ; and for it came up
four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. � 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 pleasant land. And it waxed great, even to the host of
heaven ; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and
stamped upon them. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by
him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast
down. And a host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of
transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground ; and it practised, and
prospered. Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that
certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning "
25936 "Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the
cherubim there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of
the likeness of a throne. And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said,
Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of
fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. � And he went in
in my sight. Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man
went in ; and the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord went up
from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house ; and the house was
filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord�s
glory. And the sound of the cherubim�s wings was heard even to the outer court, as
the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. � And it came to pass, that when he
had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the
wheels, from between the cherubim ; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
And one 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 with linen ; who took it, and went out. And there appeared in the
cherubim the form of a man�s hand under their wings. � And when I looked, behold
the four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by
another cherub : and the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl
stone. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had
been in the midst of a wheel. "
25991 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the Lord had
showed me.
28925 "Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying
roll. 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. Then said
he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth :
for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it ; and
every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. I will
bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the
thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name : and it shall
remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and
the stones thereof. "
24332 "Then I went down to the potter�s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on
the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the
potter : so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make
it. � Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do
with you as this potter ? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter�s
hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. At what instant I shall speak
concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and
to destroy it ; if that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their
evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant
I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant
it ; 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. 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 make your ways and your doings good. � And they
said, There is no hope : but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every
one do the imagination of his evil heart. � Therefore thus saith the Lord ; Ask ye
now among the heathen, who hath heard such things : the virgin of Israel hath done
a very horrible thing. Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the
rock of the field ? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place
be forsaken ? Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to
vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths,
to walk in paths, in a way not cast up ; to make their land desolate, and a
perpetual hissing ; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his
head. "
24181 "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. � Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Thus saith the Lord,
After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of
their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall
even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. 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. "
6515 "then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath,
that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated,
which is indeed the firstborn : but he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for
the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath : for he is the
beginning of his strength ; the right of the firstborn is his. � 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 that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto
them : 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 ; 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 glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall
stone him with stones, that he die : so shalt thou put evil away from among you ;
and all Israel shall hear, and fear. � And if a man have committed a sin worthy of
death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree : his body shall
not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day ;
(for he that is hanged is accursed of God ;) that thy land be not defiled, which
the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. "
963 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat
bread : and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. � 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.
815 "Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the
east. And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three
flocks of sheep lying by it ; for out of that well they watered the flocks : and a
great stone was upon the well�s mouth. 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 his place. � And Jacob said unto them, My
brethren, whence be ye ? And they said, Of Haran are we. And he said unto them,
Know ye Laban the son of Nahor ? And they said, We know him. And he said unto them,
Is he well ? And they said, He is well : and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh
with the sheep. 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. And
they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll
the stone from the well�s mouth ; then we water the sheep. � And while he yet spake
with them, Rachel came with her father�s sheep : for she kept them. 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, "
8055 "Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose
up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod : so that the host of the Midianites
were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. � And the Lord
said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the
Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine
own hand hath saved me. Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people,
saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount
Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand ; and there
remained ten thousand. � 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. 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. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were
three hundred men : but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to
drink water. 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 other
people go every man unto his place. So the people took victuals in their hand, and
their trumpets : and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and
retained those three hundred men : and the host of Midian was beneath him in the
valley. "
33714 "Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was
which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper ;
and Martha served : but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet
of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair : and the house was filled with the odor
of the ointment. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon�s son,
which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence,
and given to the poor ? This he said, not that he cared for the poor ; but because
he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. Then said Jesus,
Let her alone : against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor
always ye have with you ; but me ye have not always. "
16475 "Then Job answered and said, Even today is my complaint bitter : my stroke is
heavier than my groaning. Oh that I knew where I might find him ! That I might come
even to his seat ! I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with
arguments. I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he
would say unto me. Will he plead against me with his great power ? No ; but he
would put strength in me. There the righteous might dispute with him ; so should I
be delivered for ever from my judge. Behold, I go forward, but he is not there ;
and backward, but I cannot perceive him : on the left hand, where he doth work, but
I cannot behold him : he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him :
but he knoweth the way that I take : when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as
gold. My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Neither
have I gone back from the commandment of his lips ; I have esteemed the words of
his mouth more than my necessary food. But he is in one mind, and who can turn
him ? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. For he performeth the thing
that is appointed for me : and many such things are with him. Therefore am I
troubled at his presence : when I consider, I am afraid of him. For God maketh my
heart soft, "
16330 "Then Job answered and said, How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in
pieces with words ? These ten times have ye reproached me : ye are not ashamed that
ye make yourselves strange to me. And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error
remaineth with myself. If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead
against me my reproach ; know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed
me with his net. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard : I cry aloud, but
there is no judgment. He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set
darkness in my paths. He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my
head. He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone : and mine hope hath he
removed like a tree. He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me
unto him as one of his enemies. His troops come together, and raise up their way
against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. He hath put my brethren far from
me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. My kinsfolk have failed, "
16255 "Then Job answered and said, I have heard many such things : miserable
comforters are ye all. Shall vain words have an end ? Or what emboldeneth thee that
thou answerest ? I also could speak as ye do : if your soul were in my soul�s
stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you. But I would
strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief.
Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged : and though I forbear, what am I eased ?
But now he hath made me weary : thou hast made desolate all my company. And thou
hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me : and my leanness
rising up in me beareth witness to my face. He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth
me : he gnasheth upon me with his teeth ; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
They have gaped upon me with their mouth ; they have smitten me upon the cheek
reproachfully ; "
16031 "Then Job answered and said, I know it is so of a truth : but how should man
be just with God ? If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a
thousand. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength : who hath hardened himself
against him, and hath prospered ? which removeth the mountains, and they know not ;
which overturneth them in his anger ; which shaketh the earth out of her place, and
the pillars thereof tremble ; which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not ; and
sealeth up the stars ; which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the
waves of the sea ; which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of
the south ; which doeth great things past finding out ; yea, and wonders without
number. Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not : he passeth on also, but I perceive
him not. Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him ? Who will say unto him, What
doest thou ? If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under
him. How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him ?
whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make
supplication to my judge. If I had called, and he had answered me ; yet would I not
believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. "
17070 "Then Job answered the Lord, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing,
and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel
without knowledge ? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not ; things too
wonderful for me, which I knew not. "
28382 "Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish�s belly, and said, I
cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me ; out of the
belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me into the
deep, in the midst of the seas ; and the floods compassed me about : all thy
billows and thy waves passed over me. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight ; yet
I will look again toward thy holy temple. "
1535 "Then Joseph came 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. "
1473 "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. And he wept aloud : and the
Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. 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. � 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. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye
sold me hither : for God did send me before you to preserve life. For these two
years hath the famine been in the land : and yet there are five years, in the which
there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve
you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 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 a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
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 : "
7683 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of
Manasseh, and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord
commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you : 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. And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto
your brethren, as he promised them : therefore now return ye, and get you unto your
tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord
gave you on the other side Jordan. But take diligent heed to do the commandment and
the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your
God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto
him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. So Joshua blessed
them, and sent them away : and they went unto their tents. � Now to the one half of
the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan : but unto the other
half thereof gave Joshua
7093 "Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of
Israel, out of every tribe a man : 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 : that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their
fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones ? then ye shall
answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant
of the Lord ; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off : and
these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. � 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 carried them over with them unto the place
where they lodged, and laid them down there. 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. 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. 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. And the children of Reuben, and the
children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the
children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them : about forty thousand prepared for
war passed over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho. 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. "
11347 "Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah ; none was exempted :
and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha
had builded ; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. The rest
of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities
which he built, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of
Judah ? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 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. "
11692 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. � And Ahaziah fell
down through a 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 disease. 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 not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of
Baal-zebub the god of Ekron ? Now therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not
come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah
departed. � And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why
are ye now turned back ? And they said unto him, There came a man up 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 not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou
sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron ? therefore thou shalt not come
down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And he said
unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these
words ? And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of
leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. � 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 a hill. And he

side ? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together
unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man
his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and
slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his
neighbor. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses : and there
fell of the people that day about three thousand men. For Moses had said,
Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his
brother ; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day. � 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 an atonement for your sin. And
Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin,
and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin � ; and if
not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the Lord
said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Therefore 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. � And the Lord plagued the people, because they
made the calf, which Aaron made. "
9010 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. And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a
covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a
reproach upon all Israel. And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven
days� respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel : and
then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee. Then came the
messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people : and
all the people lifted up their voices, and wept. � And, behold, Saul came after the
herd out of the field : and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep ? And
they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
8666 "Then Naomi her mother-in-law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek
rest for thee, that it may be well with thee ? And now is not Boaz of our kindred,
with whose maidens thou wast ? Behold, he winnoweth barley tonight in the
threshingfloor. Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon
thee, and get thee down to the floor : but make not thyself known unto the man,
until he shall have done eating and drinking. 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. And
she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do. � And she went down unto
the floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law bade her. 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. And
it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself : and,
behold, a woman lay at his feet. 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. And he said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter : for thou
hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou
followedst not young men, whether poor or rich. "
34029 "Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted
a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, and
said, Hail, King of the Jews ! and they smote him with their hands. Pilate
therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you,
that ye may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the
crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man !
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying,
Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him :
for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he
ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard
that saying, he was the more afraid ; and went again into the judgment hall, and
saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou ? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate
unto him, Speakest thou not unto me ? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify
thee, and have power to release thee ? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power
at all against me, except it were given thee from above : therefore he that
delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. � And from thenceforth Pilate sought
to release him : but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art
not Caesar�s friend : whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. When
Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the
judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew,
Gabbatha.~~~ And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour :
and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King ! "
10379 "Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me,
I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son,
seeing that thou hast no tidings ready ? But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he
said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi. �
And David sat between the two gates : and the watchman went up to the roof over the
gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running
alone. 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. 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. And the watchman said, Methinketh 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. � And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is
well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said,
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their
hand against my lord the king. And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe ?
And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king�s servant, and me thy servant, I saw
a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. And the king said unto him, Turn aside,
and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still. � And, behold, Cushi came ;
and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king : for the Lord hath avenged thee this day
of all them that rose up against thee. And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young
man Absalom safe ? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all
that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. 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 "
9486 "Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand
of Saul ? And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up. 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. And David abode in the wilderness in
strongholds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought
him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand. � And David saw that Saul
was come out to seek his life : and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
And Jonathan Saul�s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened
his hand in God. 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. And they two made a covenant before
the Lord : and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house. � Then came
up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in
strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon
? Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come
down ; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king�s hand. And Saul said,
Blessed be ye of the Lord ; for ye have compassion on me. Go, I pray you, prepare
yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there :
for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilely. See therefore, and take knowledge
of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the
certainty, and I will go with you : and it shall come to pass, if he be in the
land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah. "
9719 "Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the Lord
hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against
us into our hand. For who will hearken unto you in this matter ? but as his part is
that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff :
they shall part alike. And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a
statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. � 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 ; to them which were in
Beth-el, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
and to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them
which were in Eshtemoa, and to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in
the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the
Kenites, and to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor-ashan,
and to them which were in Athach, and to them which were in Hebron, and to all the
places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt. "
27681 "Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel : for from the first day that thou
didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy
words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 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. Now I am
come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days : for
yet the vision is for many days. � And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set
my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. 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 the vision my sorrows are turned upon
me, and I have retained no strength. 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 is there breath left in me. � Then there came again and touched me one like
the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, and said, O man greatly beloved,
fear not : peace be unto thee ; be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken
unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak ; for thou hast
strengthened me. Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee ? and now
will I return to fight with the prince of Persia : and when I am gone forth, lo,
the prince of Grecia shall come. But I will show thee that which is noted in the
Scripture of truth : and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but
Michael your prince. "
32587 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come
: but woe unto him, through whom they come !
26317 Then said I, Ah Lord God ! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables ?
28862 "Then said I, O my lord, what are these ? And the angel that talked with me
said unto me, I will show thee what these be. 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. 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. 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 ? And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with
good words and comfortable words. So the angel that communed 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. And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are
at ease : for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the
affliction. 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 upon Jerusalem. Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; My cities
through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad ; and the Lord shall yet comfort
Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. "
33658 "Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your
sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe ; nevertheless let us go
unto him. Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let
us also go, that we may die with him. "
8956 "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 ? And the servant answered Saul again, and
said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver : that will
I give to the man of God, to tell us our way. (Beforetime in Israel, when a man
went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer : for he
that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.) Then said Saul to his
servant, Well said ; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of
God was. � And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going
out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here ? And they answered them,
and said, He is ; behold, he is before you : make haste now, for he came today to
the city ; for there is a sacrifice of the people today in the high place : 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 afterward they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you
up ; for about this time ye shall find him. And they went up into the city : and
when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go
up to the high place. � Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul
came, saying, Tomorrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of
Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he
may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines : for I have looked upon my
people, because their cry is come unto me. And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said
unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of ! this same shall reign over my
people. "
9736 "Then said Saul unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through
therewith ; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But
his armor-bearer would not ; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword,
and fell upon it. And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell
likewise upon his sword, and died with him. So Saul died, and his three sons, and
his armor-bearer, and all his men, that same day together. And when the men of
Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other
side 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. �
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. And they cut off
his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines
round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people. And
they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth : and they fastened his body to the
wall of Beth-shan. And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which
the Philistines had done to Saul, 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 came to Jabesh, and burnt them there. And they took their bones, and buried
them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days. "
13848 "Then said Solomon, The Lord hath said that he would dwell in the thick
darkness. But I have built a house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy
dwelling for ever. And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation
of Israel : and all the congregation of Israel stood. And he said, Blessed be the
Lord God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his
mouth to my father David, saying, Since the day that I brought forth my people out
of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a
house in, that my name might be there ; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over
my people Israel : but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there ; and
have chosen David to be over my people Israel. Now it was in the heart of David my
father to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel. But the Lord said
to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build a house for my
name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart : notwithstanding thou shalt
not build the house ; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall
build the house for my name. The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he
hath spoken : for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the
throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the name of
the Lord God of Israel. And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of
the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel. � And he stood before the altar
of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his
hands : "
34408 "Then said the high priest, Are these things so ? And he said, � Men,
brethren, and fathers, hearken ; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham,
when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, and said unto him, Get thee
out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show
thee. Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Haran : and from
thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now
dwell. "
33540 "Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is
dead, and the prophets ; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never
taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead ? and the
prophets are dead : whom makest thou thyself ? Jesus answered, If I honor myself,
my honor is nothing : it is my Father that honoreth me ; of whom ye say, that he is
your God : yet ye have not known him ; but I know him : and if I should say, I know
him not, I shall be a liar like unto you : but I know him, and keep his saying.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day : and he saw it, and was glad. Then said
the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham ?
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Then took they up stones to cast at him : but Jesus hid himself, and went out of
the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. "
27143 "Then said the Lord unto me ; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be
opened, and no man shall enter in by it ; because the Lord the God of Israel hath
entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. It is for the prince ; the prince, he
shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord ; he shall enter by the way of the
porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same. � Then brought he 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. 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. 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, in that ye have brought into my sanctuary
strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my
sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the
blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations. And ye
have not kept the charge of mine holy things : but ye have set keepers of my charge
in my sanctuary for yourselves. � Thus saith the Lord God ; No stranger,
uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary,
of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. And the Levites that are gone
away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after
their idols ; they shall even bear their iniquity. Yet they shall be ministers in
my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house
: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they
shall stand before them to minister unto them. "
27816 "Then said the Lord unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet
an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who
look to other gods, and love flagons of wine. So I bought her to me for fifteen
pieces of silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley : and I
said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days ; thou shalt not play the harlot,
and thou shalt not be for another man : so will I also be for thee. For the
children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and
without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without
teraphim : afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their
God, and David their king ; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter
days. "
23781 "Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen : for I will hasten my word
to perform it. � And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying,
What seest thou ? And I said, I see a seething pot ; and the face thereof is toward
the north. Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth
upon all the inhabitants of the land. 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. And I will utter my
judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and
have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command
thee : be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For,
behold, I have made thee this day a defensed city, and an iron pillar, and brazen
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. And they
shall fight against thee ; but they shall not prevail against thee ; for I am with
thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee. "
24239 "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. And it shall come to pass, if 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 the captivity, to the captivity. And I
will appoint over them four kinds, saith the Lord : the sword to slay, and the dogs
to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and
destroy. And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth,
because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in
Jerusalem. � For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem ? or who shall bemoan
thee ? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest ? Thou hast forsaken me, saith
the Lord, thou art gone backward : therefore will I stretch out my hand against
thee, and destroy thee ; I am weary with repenting. And I will fan them with a fan
in the gates of the land ; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my
people, since they return not from their ways. 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 him to fall upon it suddenly, and
terrors upon the city. 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 "
24655 "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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the
earth : this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the
Lord. � So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. "
32956 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God ? And he said unto them, Ye
say that I am. And they said, What need we any further witness ? for we ourselves
have heard of his own mouth.
30252 "Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were
bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall
find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and
gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good : and the wedding
was furnished with guests. � And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw
there a man which had not on a wedding garment : and he saith unto him, Friend, how
camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment ? And he was speechless. Then
said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast
him into outer darkness ; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many
are called, but few are chosen. "
34058 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother ! And from that hour that
disciple took her unto his own home. � After this, Jesus knowing that all things
were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now
there was set a vessel full of vinegar : and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and
put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the
vinegar, he said, It is finished : and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
39517 "Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not : for I am thy fellow servant, and
of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book :
worship God. � And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book : for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still : and he
which is filthy, let him be filthy still : and he that is righteous, let him be
righteous still : and he that is holy, let him be holy still. � And, behold, I
come quickly ; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work
shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
� Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree
of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs,
and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth
and maketh a lie. � I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things
in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and
morning star. � And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth
say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the
water of life freely. � For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the
prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto
him the plagues that are written in this book : and if any man shall take away from
the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in
this book. � He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly : Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus. � The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen. "
8982 "Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him,
and said, Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over his
inheritance ? 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 sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my
son ? Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain
of Tabor, and there shall meet thee 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 : and they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of
bread ; which thou shalt receive of their hands. 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 company of prophets
coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a
harp, before them ; and they shall prophesy : and the Spirit of the Lord will come
upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve
thee ; for God is with thee. 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 to thee,
and show thee what thou shalt do. � 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. And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of
prophets met him ; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among
them. "
7965 "Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying, Praise
ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered
themselves. Hear, O ye kings ; give ear, O ye princes ; I, even I, will sing unto
the Lord ; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel. Lord, when thou wentest
out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and
the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water. The mountains melted from
before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel. In the days
of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and
the travelers walked through byways. The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they
ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. They
chose new gods ; then was war in the gates : was there a shield or spear seen among
forty thousand in Israel ? My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered
themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord. Speak, ye that ride on
white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way. "
2186 "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. The Lord is my strength and song,
and he is become my salvation : he is my God, and I will prepare him a
habitation ; my father�s God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is a man of war : the
Lord is his name. Pharaoh�s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea : his
chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. The depths have covered them :
they sank into the bottom as a stone. Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in
power : thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. And in the
greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee :
thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. And with the blast of
thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap,
and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. 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. "
8969 "Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee,
where the seer�s house is. 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 tomorrow I
will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart. And as for thine
asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them ; for they are found.
And on whom is all the desire of Israel ? Is it not on thee, and on all thy
father�s house ? 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 so to me ? � And Samuel took Saul and
his servant, and brought them into the parlor, and made them sit in the chiefest
place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons. And Samuel said
unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set
it by thee. And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set
it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left ! set it before thee,
and eat : for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have
invited the people. � So Saul did eat with Samuel that day. And when they were come
down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of
the house. And they arose early : and it came to pass about the spring of the day,
that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee
away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. � And
as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the
servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I
may show thee the word of God. "
6543 "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 : and
the damsel�s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to
wife, and he hateth her ; and, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her,
saying, I found not thy daughter a maid ; and yet these are the tokens of my
daughter�s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the
city. And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him ; and they
shall amerce him in a 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. But if this thing be
true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel : 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 whore in her father�s house : so shalt thou put evil away from
among you. � If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they
shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman : so
shalt thou put away evil from Israel. � If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed
unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her ; 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 neighbor�s wife : so thou shalt put away evil from
among you. � But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force
her, and lie with her ; then the man only that lay with her shall die : 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 neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this
matter : "
30387 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took
their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and
five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
them : but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
28477 "Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them : he will even
hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their
doings. � Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that
bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace ; and he that putteth not into their mouths,
they even prepare war against him : Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye
shall not have a vision ; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine ;
and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded : yea, they shall all
cover their lips ; for there is no answer of God. But truly I 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. � Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the
house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and
pervert all equity. They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 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 among us ? none evil can come upon us. Therefore shall Zion for your
sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of
the house as the high places of the forest. "
28568 Then she that is 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. � In the day that thy walls are to
be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. In that day also he shall
come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the
fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Notwithstanding, the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for
the fruit of their doings.
24989 "Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal
the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah
had spoken unto all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, He that remaineth in
this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence : but he
that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live ; for he shall have his life for a
prey, and shall live. Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely be given into the
hand of the king of Babylon�s army, which shall take it. Therefore the princes said
unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death : for thus he
weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of
all the people, in speaking such words unto them : for this man seeketh not the
welfare of this people, but the hurt. Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in
your hand : for the king is not he that can do any thing against you. Then took
they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that
was in the court of the prison : and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the
dungeon there was no water, but mire : so Jeremiah sunk in the mire. � Now when
Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs 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 ; Ebed-melech went forth out of the king�s house, and spake to the king,
saying, 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
for hunger in the place where he is : for there is no more bread in the city. "
10977 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem,
that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of
David, which is Zion. And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king
Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. And all the
elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark. And they brought up the ark
of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that
were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up. 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.
13775 "Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount
Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had
prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. And he began to build in the
second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. Now these are the
things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The
length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth
twenty cubits. And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it
was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was a
hundred and twenty : and he overlaid it within with pure gold. And the greater
house he ceiled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon
palm trees and chains. And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty :
and the gold was gold of Parvaim. He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts,
and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold ; and graved cherubim on
the walls. � And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to
the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits :
and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. And the weight
of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with
gold. � And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid
them with gold. And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long : one wing of
the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house : and "
11940 "Then spake Elisha 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. "
30292 "Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, saying, The scribes
and the Pharisees sit in Moses� seat : all therefore whatsoever they bid you
observe, that observe and do ; but do not ye after their works : for they say, and
do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men�s
shoulders ; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But
all their works they do for to be seen of men : they make broad their phylacteries,
and enlarge the borders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts,
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be
called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. "
8029 "Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his
hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes ; and there rose up fire out
of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the
Lord departed out of his sight. And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of
the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God ! for because I have seen an angel of the
Lord face to face. And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee ; fear not : thou
shalt not die. Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it
Jehovah-shalom [the Lord send peace] : unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the
Abiezrites. � And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Take
thy father�s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw
down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it :
and build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered
place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of
the grove which thou shalt cut down. Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and
did as the Lord had said unto him : and so it was, because he feared his father�s
household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it
by night. � And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the
altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the
second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built. 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. Then the men of the city said unto
Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die : because he hath cast down the altar of
Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it. "
5722 "then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of
blood according to these judgments : and the congregation shall deliver the slayer
out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to
the city of his refuge, whither he was fled : and he shall abide in it unto the
death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. But if the slayer
shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was
fled ; and the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his
refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer ; he shall not be guilty of blood
: because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the
high priest : but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into
the land of his possession. "
30015 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
34094 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
25463 "Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for
Babylon : for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the Lord. As
Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain
of all the earth. � Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still :
remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. We are
confounded, because we have heard reproach : shame hath covered our faces ; for
strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord�s house. 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. 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. � A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and
great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans : because the Lord hath spoiled
Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice ; when her waves do roar like
great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered : because the spoiler is come upon
her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is
broken : for the Lord God of recompenses shall surely requite. And I will make
drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty
men : and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose
name is The Lord of hosts. Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; The broad walls of
Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire ; and
the people shall labor in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
� The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son
of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah "
35287 "Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul,
and besought him, and desired favor against him, that he would send for him to
Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him. But Festus answered, that Paul
should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither. Let
them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this
man, if there be any wickedness in him. � And when he had tarried among them more
than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea ; and the next day sitting on the
judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought. And when he was come, the Jews which
came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints
against Paul, which they could not prove. While he answered for himself, Neither
against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar,
have I offended any thing at all. But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure,
answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these
things before me ? Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar�s judgment seat, where I ought
to be judged : to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. For if
I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to
die : but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may
deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar. Then Festus, when he had conferred with
the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar ? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
"
25000 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. 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. 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. So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took
him up out of the dungeon : and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
11635 "Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah
the son of Imlah. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each
on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the
gate of Samaria ; and all the prophets prophesied before them. And Zedekiah the son
of Chenaanah made him horns of iron : and he said, Thus saith the Lord, With these
shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them. And all the prophets
prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper : for the Lord shall
deliver it into the king�s hand. � And the messenger that was gone 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 that which is good. And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what the Lord
saith unto me, that will I speak. So he came to the king. And the king said unto
him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear ?
And he answered him, Go, and prosper : for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand
of the king. And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that
thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord ? And he said,
I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd : and
the Lord said, These have no master : let them return every man to his house in
peace. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he
would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil ? And he said, Hear thou therefore
the word of the Lord : I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of
heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. "
16916 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that
darkeneth counsel
1953 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith
the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. For if thou
refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, 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 oxen, and upon the sheep : there shall be a very grievous murrain.
And the Lord shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt : and
there shall nothing die of all that is the children�s of Israel. And the Lord
appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land.
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. And Pharaoh sent, and,
behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of
Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
1837 "Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to
Pharaoh : for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall
he drive them out of his land. � And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am
the Lord : and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of
God Almighty ; but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them. And I have also
established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of
their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. And I have also heard the groaning
of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage ; and I have
remembered my covenant. "
14797 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him
king in his father�s stead in Jerusalem. Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And the king of
Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of
silver and a talent of gold. And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king
over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz
his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
29723 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might
destroy him.
3625 "then the priest shall look upon it : and, behold, if the hair in the bright
spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin ; it is a leprosy
broken out of the burning : wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it
is the plague of leprosy. 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 other skin, but be
somewhat dark ; then the priest shall shut him up seven days : and the priest shall
look upon him the seventh day : and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then

bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat
dark ; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean :

the head or the beard ; then the priest shall see the plague : and, behold, if it
be in sight deeper than the skin, and there be in it a yellow thin hair ; then the

head or beard. And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it

day the priest shall look on the scall : and, behold, if the scall be not spread in
the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin ; then the priest shall pronounce
him clean : and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. But if the scall spread
much in the skin after his cleansing ; then the priest shall look on him : and,
behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow
hair ; he is unclean. "
5045 "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

his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. 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

14952 "Then 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, even unto them. 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. � At the same time came to them
Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions,
and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up
this wall ? Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men
that make this building ? But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews,
that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius : and then
they returned answer by letter concerning this matter. � The copy of the letter
that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his
companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius
the king : they sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus ; Unto Darius the
king, all peace. Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of
Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and
timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their
hands. Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to
build this house, and to make up these walls ? We asked their names also, to
certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.
"
4335 "Then the tribe of Benjamin : and the captain of the sons of Benjamin shall
be Abidan the son of Gideoni. And his host, and those that were numbered of them,
were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. All that were numbered of the camp
of Ephraim were a hundred thousand and eight thousand and a hundred, throughout
their armies : and they shall go forward in the third rank. � The standard of the
camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies : and the captain of the
children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred. And
those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher : and the captain of the
children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran. And his host, and those that
were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. Then the tribe
of Naphtali : and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of
Enan. And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three
thousand and four hundred. All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were a
hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred : they shall go
hindmost with their standards. � These are those which were numbered of the
children of Israel by the house of their fathers : all those that were numbered of
the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and
five hundred and fifty. But the Levites were not numbered among the children of
Israel ; as the Lord commanded Moses. � And the children of Israel did according to
all that the Lord commanded Moses : so they pitched by their standards, and so they
set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their
fathers. "
10474 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom : and they cut off the
head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet,
and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to
Jerusalem unto the king.
11365 "Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha,
saying, 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 ; behold, I will take
away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house ; and will make thy
house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. Him that dieth of Baasha in the
city shall the dogs eat ; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls
of the air eat. � 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 ?
So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah : and Elah his son
reigned in his stead. And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani
came the word of the Lord against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the
evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, in provoking him to anger with the work
of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam ; and because he killed him. "
10479 "Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year ;
and David inquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, It is for Saul, and for his
bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. 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 to the children of Israel and Judah :)
wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you ? and wherewith
shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord ? And the
Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house
; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say,
that will I do for you. And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and
that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the
coasts of Israel, "
9473 "Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah,
and they rob the threshingfloors. 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. And David�s men said unto him, Behold, we
be afraid here in Judah : how much more then if we come to Keilah against the
armies of the Philistines ? 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. So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with
the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great
slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. � 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. 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. And Saul called all the people together to war, to
go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. And David knew that Saul secretly
practised mischief against him ; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither
the ephod. Then said David, O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard
that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. Will the men
of Keilah deliver me up into his hand ? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath
heard ? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said,
He will come down. "
38170 "Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a
worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made ; the first, wherein was the
candlestick, and the table, and the showbread ; which is called the sanctuary. And
after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the holiest of all ; which
had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold,
wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron�s rod that budded, and the
tables of the covenant ; and over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy
seat ; of which we cannot now speak particularly. � Now when these things were thus
ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the
service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year,
not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people :
the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet
made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing : which was a figure
for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that
could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience ;
which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances,
imposed on them until the time of reformation. "
29305 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward
ahungered. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God,
command that these stones be made bread. 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. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on
a pinnacle of the temple, and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
thyself down : for it is written,
5817 "Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the
Red sea, as the Lord spake unto me : and we compassed mount Seir many days. And the
Lord spake unto me, saying, Ye have compassed this mountain long enough : turn you
northward. And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast 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 : meddle not with them ; for I
will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a footbreadth ; because I have
given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. Ye shall buy meat of them for money,
that ye may eat ; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand : he knoweth
thy walking through this great wilderness : these forty years the Lord thy God hath
been with thee ; thou hast lacked nothing. � And when we passed by from our
brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain
from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness
of Moab. And the Lord said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with
them in battle : for I will not give thee of their land for "
5860 "Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan : and Og the king of Bashan
came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. And the Lord said
unto me, Fear him not : for I will deliver 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. So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og
also, the king of Bashan, and all his people : and we smote him until none was left
to him remaining. 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. All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and
bars ; beside unwalled towns a great many. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did
unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of
every city. "
37525 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air : and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
8682 "Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there : and, behold, the
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. And he took ten men of the
elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. "
797 then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath
the daughter of Ishmael Abraham�s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
8375 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her. 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, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him. And Samson lay
till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city,
and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his
shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill that is before Hebron.
34157 "Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should
not die : yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die ; but, If I will that he
tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? � This is the disciple which testifieth
of these things, and wrote these things : and we know that his testimony is true. �
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 could not contain the books
that should be written. Amen. "
6203 "then will the Lord drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall
possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. Every place whereon the soles
of your feet shall tread shall be yours : from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the
river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. There
shall no man be able to stand before you : for the Lord your God shall lay the fear
of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath
said unto you. � Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse ; a
blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you
this day : and a curse, if ye will not obey 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. And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God hath
brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put
the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. Are they not on
the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the
Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of
Moreh ? For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord
your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. And ye shall
observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day. "
3005 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom the
Lord put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the
service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded.
32431 There are six days in which men ought to work : in them therefore come and be
healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou
hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the
stall, and lead him away to watering ? And ought not this woman, being a daughter
of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this
bond on the sabbath day ? And when he had said these things, all his adversaries
were ashamed : and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were
done by him.
15562 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of
ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. 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 ? 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. � And it came to pass, that when the gates of
Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be
shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath : and some
of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the
sabbath day. So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without
Jerusalem once or twice. 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. And I commanded the Levites, that they
should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to
sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me
according to the greatness of thy mercy. � In those days also saw I Jews that had
married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab : 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. 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 unto your
sons, or for yourselves. Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things ? yet
among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God
made him king over all Israel : nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to
sin.
21708 "There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men
: a man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wanteth
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. If a
man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be
many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial ; I
say, that an untimely birth is better than he. For he cometh in with vanity, and
departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. Moreover he
hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing : this hath more rest than the other.
Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good : do not
all go to one place ? � All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite
is not filled. For what hath the wise more than the fool ? what hath the poor, that
knoweth to walk before the living ? Better is the sight of the eyes than the
wandering of the desire : this is also vanity and vexation of spirit. � That which
hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man : neither may he contend
with him that is mightier than he. Seeing there be many things that increase
vanity, what is man the better ? For who knoweth what is good for man in this life,
all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow ? for who can tell a
man what shall be after him under the sun ? "
36830 There Is No Other Gospel
35542 There Is None Righteous
18207 there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no
knowledge ? who eat up my people as they eat bread : they have not called upon God.
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
despised them. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion ! When God
bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be
glad.
31001 "there is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him :
but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any
man have ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was entered into the house from
the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. And he saith unto them,
Are ye so without understanding also ? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing
from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him ; because it entereth not
into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all
meats ? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For
from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries,
fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness : all these evil things come from within,
and defile the man. "
35691 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the
law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in
the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh : that the
righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit. 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. For to be
carnally minded is death ; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because
the carnal mind is enmity against God : for it is not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. "
26965 "there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude : and they shall call it,
The valley of Hamon-gog [the multitude of Gog]. And seven months shall the house of
Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. Yea, all the people of
the land shall bury them ; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be
glorified, saith the Lord God. And they shall sever out men of continual
employment, passing through the land, to bury with the passengers those that remain
upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it : after the end of seven months shall
they search. And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man�s
bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the
valley of Hamon-gog. And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah [the multitude]
Thus shall they cleanse the land. � And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God ;
Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble
yourselves, and come ; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may
eat flesh, and drink blood. 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. 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. Thus ye
shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all
men of war, saith the Lord God. � And I will set my glory among the heathen, and
all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have
laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from
that day and forward. And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into
captivity for their iniquity : because they trespassed against me, "
34597 "There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the
band called the Italian band, a devout man, and one that feared God with all his
house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. He saw in a
vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to
him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and
said, What is it, Lord ? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come
up for a memorial before God. And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon,
whose surname is Peter : he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the
sea side : he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. And when the angel which
spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a
devout soldier of them that waited on him continually ; and when he had declared
all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. � On the morrow, as they went on
their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray
about the sixth hour : and he became very hungry, and would have eaten : but while
they made ready, he fell into a trance, and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel
descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let
down to the earth : wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and
wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to
him, Rise, Peter ; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord ; for I have never
eaten any thing that is common or unclean. "
15811 "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. And there were
born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 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 men of the east. And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his
day ; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
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 burnt offerings
according to the number of them all : for Job said, It may be that my sons have
sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. � Now there was a
day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came
also among them. 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. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant
Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one
that feareth God, and escheweth evil ? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth
Job fear God for nought ? "
33170 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews : the
same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a
teacher come from God : for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except
God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto
him, How can a man be born when he is old ? can he enter the second time into his
mother�s womb, and be born ? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom
of God.
7520 "There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh ; for he was the firstborn of
Joseph ; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead :
because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. There was also a
lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families ; for the children
of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for
the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of
Shemida : these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their
families. � 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. 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. "
7254 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not
before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the
strangers that were conversant among them.
35127 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought
with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
32403 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose
blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
35606 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ : by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also ; knowing that tribulation worketh patience ; and patience,
experience ; and experience, hope : and hope maketh not ashamed ; because the love
of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. � For
when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For
scarcely for a righteous man will one die : yet peradventure for a good man some
would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his
blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son ; much more, being reconciled, we
shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. "
11926 "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. And they rose up
in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians : and when they were come to
the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there. 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. 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. And when these lepers came to the uttermost 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 came again, and entered into another tent, and
carried thence also, and went and hid it. � Then they said one to another, We do
not well : this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace : if we tarry
till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us : now therefore come, that
we may go and tell the king�s household. 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 horses tied, and asses
tied, and the tents as they were. And he called the porters ; and they told it to
the king�s house within. And the king arose in the night, and said unto his
servants, I will now show 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 catch them alive, and get
into the city. 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, "
24711 "Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord ; neither be
dismayed, O Israel : for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the
land of their captivity ; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be
quiet, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save
thee : though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet
will I not make a full end of thee ; but I will correct thee in measure, and will
not leave thee altogether unpunished. � For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is
incurable, and thy wound is grievous. There is none to plead thy cause, that thou
mayest be bound up : thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have forgotten
thee ; they seek thee not ; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy,
with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity ; because
thy sins were increased. Why criest thou for thine affliction ? thy sorrow is
incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity : because thy sins were increased, I
have done these things unto thee. 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. For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy
wounds, saith the Lord ; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion,
whom no man seeketh after. � Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I will bring again the
captivity of Jacob�s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places ; and the city
shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner
thereof. 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. "
27876 "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. For I desired
mercy, and not sacrifice ; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. �
But they like men have transgressed the covenant : there have they dealt
treacherously against me. Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is
polluted with blood. And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of
priests murder in the way by consent : for they commit lewdness. I have seen a
horrible thing in the house of Israel : there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is
defiled. � Also, O Judah, he hath set a harvest for thee, when I returned the
captivity of my people. "
26979 "therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their
enemies ; so fell they all by the sword. According to their uncleanness and
according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
� Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Now will I bring again the captivity of
Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my
holy name ; after that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses
whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and
none made them afraid. When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered
them out of their enemies� lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many
nations ; then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to
be led into captivity among the heathen : but I have gathered them unto their own
land, and have left none of them any more there. 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. "
38095 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on
unto perfection ; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works,
and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands,
and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if
God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall
fall away, to renew them again unto repentance ; seeing they crucify to themselves
the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh
in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom
it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God : but that which beareth thorns and
briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing ; whose end is to be burned. � But,
beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany
salvation, though we thus speak. "
34242 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that
same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. � Now when they heard
this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the
apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do ? Then Peter said unto them, Repent,
and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you,
and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our
God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save
yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word
were baptized : and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand
souls. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles� doctrine and fellowship, and
in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
9968 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
23429 "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. � 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 ! Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice ; with the voice
together shall they sing : for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring
again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem : for
the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 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. � Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence,
touch no unclean thing ; go ye out of the midst of her ; be ye clean, that bear the
vessels of the Lord. For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight : for the
Lord will go before you ; and the God of Israel will be your rearward. "
25158 "Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel ;
Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and
woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain ; in that ye
provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods
in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves
off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth
? Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings
of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the
wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in
the streets of Jerusalem ? 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. � Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ;
Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. And I
will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of
Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of
Egypt ; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine : they shall
die, from the least even 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. 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 : 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 but such as shall escape. �
Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods,
and all the women that stood by, a great "
26900 "Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, O my
people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and
bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I
have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, and
shall put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own
land : then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith
the Lord. "
27829 "Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall
languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven ; yea, the
fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. � Yet let no man strive, nor reprove
another : for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. Therefore shalt
thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I
will destroy thy mother. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge : because
thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest
to me : seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy
children. � As they were increased, so they sinned against me : therefore will I
change their glory into shame. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their
heart on their iniquity. And there shall be, like people, like priest : and I will
punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. For 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. � Whoredom and wine and new wine take away
the heart. My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto
them : for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a
whoring from under their God. They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and
burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow
thereof is good. � Therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses
shall commit adultery. I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom,
nor your spouses when they commit adultery : for themselves are separated with
whores, and they sacrifice with harlots : therefore the people that doth not
understand shall fall. "
22784 "Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the
shadow of Egypt your confusion. For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors
came to Hanes. They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be
a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. � The burden of the beasts of
the south. � Into the land of trouble and anguish from whence come the young and
old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will 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. For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no
purpose : therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still. �
Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for
the time to come for ever and ever : that this is a rebellious people, lying
children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord : which say to the seers,
See not ; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us
smooth things, prophesy deceits : get you out of the way, turn aside out of the
path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. Wherefore thus saith
the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and
perverseness, and stay thereon : 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. And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters� vessel that is
broken in pieces ; he shall not spare : so that there shall not be found in the
bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of
the pit. � For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel ; In returning and
rest shall ye be saved ; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength :
and ye would not. "
3866 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these
abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not
yourselves therein : I am the Lord your God.
35497 "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest : for
wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself ; for thou that judgest doest
the same things. "
6175 "Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his
statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway. 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, and his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of
Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land ; 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 ; and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye
came into this place ; 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 all the substance that was in their
possession, in the midst of all Israel : but your eyes have seen all the great
acts of the Lord which he did. "
35638 "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death : that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life. � For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his
death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection : knowing this, that
our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that
henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if
we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him : knowing that
Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more ; death hath no more dominion over
him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once : but in that he liveth, he liveth
unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive
unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. � Let not sin therefore reign in your
mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your
members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin : but yield yourselves unto God,
as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you : for ye are not
under the law, but under grace. "
37998 "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have
heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels
was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense
of reward ; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation ; which at the
first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard
him ; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers
miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will ? "
23995 "therefore will I do unto this 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. And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your
brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. � 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. Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in
the streets of Jerusalem ? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the
fire, and the women knead their 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. Do
they provoke me to anger ? saith the Lord : do they not provoke themselves to the
confusion of their own faces ? 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. "
37296 "Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so
stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. � I beseech Euodias, and beseech
Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. And I entreat thee also, true
yokefellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement
also, and with other my fellow laborers, whose names are in the book of life. �
Rejoice in the Lord always : and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known
unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing ; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus. "
36586 "Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint
not ; but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully ; but, by manifestation of the
truth, commending ourselves to every man�s conscience in the sight of God. But if
our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost : in whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious
gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach
not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord ; and ourselves your servants for Jesus�
sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our
hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ. "
26952 "Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the
Lord God ; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and
Tubal : and I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will
cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains
of Israel : and I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine
arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel,
thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee : I will give thee unto
the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field, to be devoured.
Thou shalt fall upon the open field : for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. And
I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles :
and they shall know that I am the Lord. � So will I make my holy name known in the
midst of my people Israel ; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more :
and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. Behold, it
is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God ; this is the day whereof I have
spoken. � And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set
on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the
arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire
seven years : so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down
any out of the forests ; for they shall burn the weapons with fire : and they shall
spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.
� And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of
graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea ; and it
shall stop the noses of the passengers : and "
27954 "thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed
from it. It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb :
Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. As for
Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. The high places also of
Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed : the thorn and the thistle shall come
up on their altars ; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us ; and to the
hills, Fall on us. � O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah : there
they stood : the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake
them. It is in my desire that I should chastise them ; and the people shall be
gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows. And
Ephraim is as a heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn ; but I
passed over upon her fair neck : I will make Ephraim to ride ; Judah shall plow,
and Jacob shall break his clods. � Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in
mercy ; break up your fallow ground : for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come
and rain righteousness upon you. Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity
; ye have eaten the fruit of lies : because thou didst trust in thy way, in the
multitude of thy mighty men. Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and
all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of
battle : the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. So shall Beth-el do
unto you because of your great wickedness : in a morning shall the king of Israel
utterly be cut off. "
4352 "These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day that the Lord
spake with Moses in mount Sinai. And these are the names of the sons of Aaron ;
Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. These are the names of the
sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in
the priest�s office. And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered
strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no
children : and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest�s office in the sight
of Aaron their father. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Bring the tribe of
Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto
him. And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation
before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. And
they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the
charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. And thou
shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons : they are wholly given unto him
out of the children of Israel. And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they
shall wait on their priest�s office : and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be
put to death. � And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, And I, behold, I have taken
the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that
openeth the matrix among the children of Israel : therefore the Levites shall be
mine ; because all the firstborn are mine ; for on the day that I smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both
man and beast : mine they shall be : I am the Lord. "
21326 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah
copied out. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing : but the honor of kings is
to search out a matter. The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the
heart of kings is unsearchable. Take away the dross from the silver, and there
shall come forth a vessel for the finer.

chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself
unto him ; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. And Israel
said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet
alive. And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father�s house, I will go
up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father�s house, which
were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me ; and the men are shepherds, for their
trade hath been to feed cattle ; and they have brought their flocks, and their
herds, and all that they have. And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call
you, and shall say, What is your occupation ? That ye shall say, Thy servants�
trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our
fathers : that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen ; for every shepherd is an
abomination unto the Egyptians. "
12730 "These are the sons of Israel ; Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar,
and Zebulun, Dan, Joseph, and Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. "
6206 These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the
land, which the Lord God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days
that ye live upon the earth.
6786 "These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make
with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made
with them in Horeb. � 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 ; the great temptations which thine
eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles : yet the Lord hath not given
you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 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. Ye have not eaten bread, neither
have ye drunk wine or strong drink : that ye might know that I am the Lord your
God. "
5758 "These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in
the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel,
and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. (There are eleven days� journey from Horeb by
the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.) 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 ; after he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which
dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei : on
this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, The
Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this
mount : turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and
unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale,
and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto
Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land
before you : go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers,
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. "
6688 "These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come
over Jordan ; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin :
and these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse ; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and
Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men
of Israel with a loud voice, Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten
image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and
putteth it in a secret place : and all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother : and all the people
shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that removeth his neighbor�s landmark : and all the
people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way
: and all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of
the stranger, fatherless, and widow : and all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed
be he that lieth with his father�s wife ; because he uncovereth his father�s
skirt : and all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that lieth with any manner
of beast : and all the people shall say, Amen. 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, "
33895 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They
shall put you out of the synagogues : yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth
you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you,
because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you,
that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. � And these
things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
23414 "These two things are come unto thee ; who shall be sorry for thee ?
desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword : by whom shall I
comfort thee ? Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a
wild bull in a net : they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.
� Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine : 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 trembling, even the dregs of the cup of
my fury ; thou shalt no more drink it again : but 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 body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went
over. "
33929 "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father,
the hour is come ; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee : as thou
hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as
thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. "
16510 "They are of those that rebel against the light ; they know not the ways
thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. The murderer rising with the light killeth
the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. The eye also of the adulterer
waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me : and disguiseth his face. In
the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the
daytime : they know not the light. For the morning is to them even as the shadow of
death : if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. He is
swift as the waters ; their portion is cursed in the earth : he beholdeth not the
way of the vineyards. Drought and heat consume the snow waters : so doth the grave
those which have sinned. The womb shall forget him ; the worm shall feed sweetly on
him ; he shall be no more remembered ; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. He
evil entreateth the barren that beareth not : and doeth not good to the widow. He
draweth also the mighty with his power : he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth ; yet his eyes are upon
their ways. They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low ;
they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of
corn. And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing
worth ? "
19768 "they are quenched as the fire of thorns : for in the name of the Lord I will
destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall : but the Lord helped
me. The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. The voice of
rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous : the right hand of
the Lord doeth valiantly. The right hand of the Lord is exalted : the right hand of
the Lord doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the
Lord. The Lord hath chastened me sore : but he hath not given me over unto death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness : I will go into them, and I will praise the
Lord : this gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise
thee : for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the
builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord�s
doing ; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made ; we
will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord : O Lord, I
beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the
Lord : we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. God is the Lord, which
hath showed us light : bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the
altar. "
25552 "they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck : he hath made my strength to
fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise
up. The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me : he hath
called an assembly against me to crush my young men : the Lord hath trodden the
virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress. For these things I weep ; mine
eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my
soul is far from me : my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. Zion
spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her : the Lord hath
commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him :
Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. The Lord is righteous ; for I have
rebelled against his commandment : hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my
sorrow : my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity. I called for my
lovers, but they deceived me : my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the
city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls. 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.
They have heard that I sigh ; there is none to comfort me : "
22362 "They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the
weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. � Howl ye ; for the day of
the Lord is at hand ; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore
shall all hands be faint, and every man�s heart shall melt : and they shall be
afraid : pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them ; they shall be in pain as a
woman that travaileth : they shall be amazed one at another ; their faces shall be
as flames. � Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce
anger, to lay the land desolate : and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of
it. 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. 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. I will make a man more precious than fine gold
; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens,
and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and
in the day of his fierce anger. And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep
that no man taketh up : they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every
one into his own land. Every one that is found shall be thrust through ; and every
one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be
dashed to pieces before their eyes ; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives
ravished. � Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard
silver ; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. Their bows also shall dash
the young men to pieces ; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb ;
their eye shall not spare children. "
19038 they compassed me about together. Lover and friend hast thou put far from me,
and mine acquaintance into darkness.
32638 "They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,
until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed
them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot ; they did eat, they drank,
they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded ; but the same day that Lot went
out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even
thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In that day, he which
shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to
take it away : and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Remember Lot�s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it ; and
whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. I tell you, in that night there
shall be two men in one bed ; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Two women shall be grinding together ; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two men shall be in the field ; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And
they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord ? And he said unto them, Wheresoever
the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. "
16876 "They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. He delivereth the
poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. Even so would he have
removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness ;
and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. But thou hast
fulfilled the judgment of the wicked : judgment and justice take hold on thee.
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke : then a
great ransom cannot deliver thee. Will he esteem thy riches ? No, not gold, nor all
the forces of strength. Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their
place. Take heed, regard not iniquity : for this hast thou chosen rather than
affliction. Behold, God exalteth by his power : who teacheth like him ? Who hath
enjoined him his way ? Or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity ? Remember that
thou magnify his work, which men behold. Every man may see it ; man may behold it
afar off. Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his
years be searched out. For he maketh small the drops of water : they pour down rain
according to the vapor thereof ; which the clouds do drop and distil upon man
abundantly. Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of
his tabernacle ? Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, "
15800 "they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the
fastings and their cry. And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim ;
and it was written in the book. "
16659 "they have also let loose the bridle before me. Upon my right hand rise the
youth ; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their
destruction. They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters : in the desolation they rolled
themselves upon me. Terrors are turned upon me : they pursue my soul as the wind :
and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. And now my soul is poured out upon me ; the
days of affliction have taken hold upon me. My bones are pierced in me in the night
season : and my sinews take no rest. By the great force of my disease is my garment
changed : it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. He hath cast me into the
mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear
me : I stand up, and thou regardest me not. Thou art become cruel to me : with thy
strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. Thou liftest me up to the wind ; thou
causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. For I know that thou wilt
bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. Howbeit he will not
stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. Did not I
weep for him that was in trouble ? Was not my soul grieved for the poor ? When I
looked for good, then evil came unto me : and when I waited for light, there came
darkness. "
23923 "They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he ; neither shall evil come
upon us ; neither shall we see sword nor famine : and the prophets shall become
wind, and the word is not in them : thus shall it be done unto them. � Wherefore
thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make
my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. 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. Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are
all mighty men. 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 impoverish thy fenced cities,
wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. � Nevertheless in those days, saith the
Lord, I will not make a full end with you. And it shall come to pass, when ye shall
say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things unto us ? then shalt thou
answer 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. � Declare this in the house
of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, Hear now this, O foolish people, and
without understanding ; which have eyes, and see not ; which have ears, and hear
not : 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 ? But this people hath a revolting
and a rebellious heart ; they are revolted and gone. "
18285 "they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen
themselves. Selah. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed : I will sing and
give praise. Awake up, my glory ; awake, psaltery and harp : I myself will awake
early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people : I will sing unto thee among
the nations. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the
clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens : let thy glory be above all the
earth. "
16270 "they have gathered themselves together against me. God hath delivered me to
the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. I was at ease, but he
hath broken me asunder : he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces,
and set me up for his mark. His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my
reins asunder, and doth not spare ; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. He
breaketh me with breach upon breach ; he runneth upon me like a giant. I have sewed
sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. My face is foul with
weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death ; not for any injustice in mine
hands : also my prayer is pure. O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry
have no place. Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
My friends scorn me : but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. Oh that one might
plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor ! When a few years are
come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return. "
19498 "They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the
dead. Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions : and the plague brake
in upon them. Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment : and so the plague was
stayed. And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for
evermore. They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with
Moses for their sakes : because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with his lips. They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the
Lord commanded them : but were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
And they served their idols : which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed
their sons and their daughters unto devils, 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. Thus were they defiled with their
own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. Therefore was the wrath of
the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen ; and they that hated them ruled over
them. Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection
under their hand. Many times did he deliver them ; but they provoked him with their
counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. "
19553 "They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths : their soul
is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wit�s end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he
bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the
waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet ; so he bringeth
them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men ! Let them exalt him also in the
congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. He
turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground ; a fruitful
land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. He turneth the
wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. And there he
maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation ; and sow
the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. He blesseth
them also, so that they are multiplied greatly ; and suffereth not their cattle to
decrease. Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction,
and sorrow. He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the
wilderness, where there is no way. Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction,
and maketh him families like a flock. "
25697 "They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
Princes are hanged up by their hand : the faces of elders were not honored. They
took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. The elders have
ceased from the gate, the young men from their music. The joy of our heart is
ceased ; our dance is turned into mourning. The crown is fallen from our head : woe
unto us, that we have sinned ! For this our heart is faint ; for these things our
eyes are dim. Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk
upon it. Thou, O Lord, remainest for ever ; thy throne from generation to
generation. Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time ?
Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned ; renew our days as of old.
But thou hast utterly rejected us ; thou art very wroth against us. "
18318 "They return at evening : they make a noise like a dog, and go round about
the city. Behold, they belch out with their mouth : swords are in their lips : for
who, say they, doth hear ? But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them ; thou shalt have
all the heathen in derision. Because of his strength will I wait upon thee : for
God is my defense. The God of my mercy shall prevent me : God shall let me see my
desire upon mine enemies. Slay them not, lest my people forget : scatter them by
thy power ; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 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. Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be :
and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. And
at evening let them return ; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round
about the city. Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not
satisfied. But I will sing of thy power ; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in
the morning : for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing : for God is my defense, and the God of my
mercy. "
23825 "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. Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou
hast not been lain with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian "
3953 "They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God :
for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do
offer : therefore they shall be holy. They shall not take a wife that is a whore,
or profane ; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband : for he is
holy unto his God. 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.
And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she
profaneth her father : she shall be burnt with fire. � And he that is the high
priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that
is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his
clothes ; neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his
father, or for his mother ; 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. And he shall take a wife in her virginity. A widow, or a
divorced woman, or profane, or a harlot, these shall he not take : but he shall
take a virgin of his own people to wife. Neither shall he profane his seed among
his people : for I the Lord do sanctify him. � And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations
that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 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, or a man that is
broken-footed, or broken-handed, or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish
in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken ; "
23150 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in
graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
25882 "They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed
: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the
wrath of the Lord : they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels :
because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity. As for the beauty of his
ornament, he set it in majesty : but they made the images of their abominations and
of their detestable things therein : therefore have I set it far from them. And I
will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the
earth for a spoil ; and they shall pollute it. My face will I turn also from them,
and they shall pollute my secret place : for the robbers shall enter into it, and
defile it. � Make a chain : for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is
full of violence. Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall
possess their houses : I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease ; and their
holy places shall be defiled. Destruction cometh ; and they shall seek peace, and
there shall be none. Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon
rumor ; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet ; but the law shall perish
from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. 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. "
18395 "They shall fall by the sword : they shall be a portion for foxes. But the
king shall rejoice in God ; every one that sweareth by him shall glory : but the
mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. "
7977 "They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing
water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous
acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel : then shall the people of
the Lord go down to the gates. Awake, awake, Deborah : awake, awake, utter a song :
arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam. Then he made him
that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people : the Lord made me
have dominion over the mighty. Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against
Amalek ; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people ; out of Machir came down
governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer. And the
princes of Issachar were with Deborah ; even Issachar, and also Barak : he was sent
on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of
heart. Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks ?
For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. Gilead abode
beyond Jordan : and why did Dan remain in ships ? Asher continued on the seashore,
and abode in his breaches. Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their
lives unto the death in the high places of the field. The kings came and fought ;
then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo ; "
16327 They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went
before were affrighted. Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is
the place of him that knoweth not God.
21286 "They that tarry long at the wine ; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not
thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it
moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an
adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse
things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he
that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was
not sick ; they have beaten me, and I felt it not : when shall I awake ? I will
seek it yet again. "
20047 "They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed,
but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is
round about his people from henceforth even for ever. For the rod of the wicked
shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous ; lest the righteous put forth their
hands unto iniquity. Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, and to them that are
upright in their hearts. As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the
Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity : but peace shall be upon
Israel. "
7988 "they took no gain of money. They fought from heaven ; the stars in their
courses fought against Sisera. The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient
river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength. Then were the
horsehoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty
ones. 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. Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite
be ; blessed shall she be above women in the tent. He asked water, and she gave him
milk ; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. She put her hand to the nail, and
her right hand to the workmen�s hammer ; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she
smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples. At her
feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down : at her feet he bowed, he fell : where he
bowed, there he fell down dead. The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and
cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming ? Why tarry the
wheels of his chariots ? Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to
herself, Have they not sped ? have they not divided the prey ; to every man a
damsel or two ; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of
needlework, of divers colors of needlework on both sides, "
18444 "they went through the flood on foot : there did we rejoice in him. He
ruleth by his power for ever ; his eyes behold the nations : let not the rebellious
exalt themselves. Selah. O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his
praise to be heard : which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to
be moved. For thou, O God, hast proved us : thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Thou broughtest us into the net ; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. 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. I will go into thy house with burnt
offerings : I will pay thee my vows, which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath
spoken, when I was in trouble. I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings,
with the incense of rams : I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. Come and hear,
all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried
unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in
my heart, the Lord will not hear me : but verily God hath heard me ; he hath
attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, "
38291 "they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the
sword : they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins ; being destitute,
afflicted, tormented ; of whom the world was not worthy : they wandered in deserts,
and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. � And these all, having
obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise : God having
provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
"
4962 "They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and
the earth closed upon them : and they perished from among the congregation. And all
Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them : for they said, Lest the
earth swallow us up also. And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the
two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. � And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, 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 hallowed. The
censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates
for a covering of the altar : for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they
are hallowed : and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. And Eleazar
the priest took the brazen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered ;
and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar : to be a memorial unto
the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come
near to offer incense before the Lord ; that he be not as Korah, and as his company
: as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses. � 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. And it came to pass, when the
congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward
the tabernacle of the congregation : and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the
glory of the Lord appeared. And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the
congregation. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Get you up from among this
congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their
faces. "
37297 Think on These Things
17969 Thirsting for God
16715 "this also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge : for I should have
denied the God that is above. If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated
me, or lifted up myself when evil found him ; (neither have I suffered my mouth to
sin by wishing a curse to his soul.) If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that
we had of his flesh ! We cannot be satisfied. The stranger did not lodge in the
street : but I opened my doors to the traveler. If I covered my transgressions as
Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom : did I fear a great multitude, or did
the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the
door ? Oh that one would hear me ! Behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would
answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book. Surely I would take it upon
my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me. I would declare unto him the number of
my steps ; as a prince would I go near unto him. If my land cry against me, or that
the furrows likewise thereof complain ; if I have eaten the fruits thereof without
money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life : let thistles grow
instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended. "
7706 "this day from following the Lord, in that ye have builded you an altar, that
ye might rebel this day against the Lord ? Is the iniquity of Peor too little for
us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in
the congregation of the Lord, but 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. Notwithstanding, 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. Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a
trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel ?
and that man perished not alone in his iniquity. � Then the children of Reuben and
the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the
heads of the thousands of Israel, The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he
knoweth, and Israel he shall know ; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression
against the Lord, (save us not this day,) that we have built us an altar to turn
from following the Lord, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or
if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himself require it ; and if we
have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your
children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the Lord
God of Israel ? For the Lord hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye
children of Reuben and children of Gad ; ye have no part in the Lord : so shall
your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord. Therefore we said, Let
us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice : "
37667 "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a
good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant,
sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach ; not given to wine, no
striker, not greedy of filthy lucre ; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous ; "
33115 "This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before
me ; for he was before me. And I knew him not : but that he should be made manifest
to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John bare record, saying,
I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I
knew him not : but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me,
Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is
he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the
Son of God. "
29 "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created
man, in the likeness of God made he him ; male and female created he them ; and
blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And
Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after
his image ; and called his name Seth : and the days of Adam after he had begotten
Seth were eight hundred years : and he begat sons and daughters : and all the days
that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years : and he died. � And Seth lived
a hundred and five years, and begat Enos : and Seth lived after he begat Enos eight
hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters : "
7596 "This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according
to their families, the cities and their villages. � And the fifth lot came out for
the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. And their border
was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, and Alammelech, and Amad, and
Misheal ; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath ; and turneth
toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of
Jiphthah-el toward the north side of Beth-emek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul
on the left hand, and Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great
Zidon ; and then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre ; and the
coast turneth to Hosah ; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to
Achzib : Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob : twenty and two cities with their
villages. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according
to their families, these cities with their villages. � The sixth lot came out to
the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their
families. And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami,
Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum ; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan : and
then the coast turneth westward to Aznoth-tabor, and goeth out from thence to
Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the
west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising. And the fenced cities are
Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, and Adamah, and Ramah, and
Hazor, and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor, and Iron, and Migdal-el, Horem, and
Beth-anath, and Bethshemesh ; nineteen cities with their villages. "
7611 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to
their families, the cities and their villages. � And the seventh lot came out for
the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. And the coast of
their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh, and Shaalabbin, and
Ajalon, and Jethlah, and Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron, and Eltekeh, and
Gibbethon, and Baalath, and Jehud, and Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon, and Me-jarkon,
and Rakkon, with the border before Japho. And the coast of the children of Dan went
out too little for them : therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against
Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and
dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father. This is
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families,
these cities with their villages. � When they had made an end of dividing the land
for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to
Joshua the son of Nun among them : according to the word of the Lord they gave him
the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah in mount Ephraim : and he built the
city, and dwelt therein. � These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest,
and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the
children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the Lord, at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the
country.
36805 "This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three
witnesses shall every word be established. I told you before, and foretell you, as
if I were present, the second time ; and being absent now I write to them which
heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare :
since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but
is mighty in you. For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by
the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the
power of God toward you. � Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith ; prove
your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you,
except ye be reprobates ? "
37825 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men
shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are
good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ;
having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof : from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women
laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth. "
27462 "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of
the holy ones : to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in
the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the
basest of men. This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O
Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, 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. � Then Daniel, whose name was
Belteshazzar, was astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king
spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof,
trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that
hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. The tree that thou
sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the
sight thereof to all the earth ; 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 : 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. And whereas the king saw a
watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and
destroy it ; yet 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 ; this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of
the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king : that they shall drive thee
from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall
make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and
seven times "
2056 "This month shall be unto you the beginning of months : it shall be the first
month of the year to you. 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
the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house : and if the household be too little
for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the
number of the souls ; every man according to his eating shall make your count for
the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year : ye shall
take it out from the sheep, or from the goats : 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 in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike
it on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses, wherein they
shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and
unleavened bread ; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat not of it raw, nor
sodden at all with water, but roast with fire ; his head with his legs, and with
the purtenance thereof. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning ;
and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 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. For I
will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, both man and beast ; and against all the gods of Egypt I will
execute judgment : I am the Lord. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon
the houses where ye are : and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the
plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. "
38711 "This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you ; in both which I stir up
your pure minds by way of remembrance : that ye may be mindful of the words which
were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles
of the Lord and Saviour : knowing this first, that there shall come in the last
days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of
his coming ? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were
from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that
by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water
and in the water : whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water,
perished : but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept
in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly
men. � But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the
Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack
concerning his promise, as some men count slackness ; but is long-suffering to us-
ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night ; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. �
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought
ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, "
7455 "This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their
families ; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the
uttermost part of the south coast. And their south border was from the shore of the
salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward : and it went out to the south side
to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto
Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a
compass to Karkaa : from thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river
of Egypt ; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea : this shall be your
south coast. "
15110 "thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water : for he mourned because of
the transgression of them that had been carried away. And they made proclamation
throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they
should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem ; and that whosoever would not
come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all
his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of
those that had been carried away. � Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered
themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on
the twentieth day of the month ; and all the people sat in the street of the house
of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain. And Ezra the
priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange
wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. Now therefore make confession unto the
Lord God of your fathers, and do his pleasure : and separate yourselves from the
people of the land, and from the strange wives. Then all the congregation answered
and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do. 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 are many that have transgressed in this
thing. Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which
have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the
elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for
this matter be turned from us. Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son
of Tikvah were employed about this matter : and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite
helped them. � And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with
certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all "
21 "thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee ; and thou shalt eat
the herb of the field : 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. � And Adam called his wife�s name Eve [living] ; because
she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God
make coats of skins, and clothed them. � 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 : therefore the Lord
God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was
taken. So he drove out the man : and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden
cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree
of life. "
6558 Those Excluded from the Congregation
4289 "those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Dan, were threescore
and two thousand and seven hundred. � Of the children of Asher, by their
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go

forty and one thousand and five hundred. � Of the children of Naphtali, throughout
go forth to war ; those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Naphtali,
were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. � These are those that were
numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve
men : each one was for the house of his fathers. So were all those that were

against it, and cast a mount against it ; set the camp also against it, and set
battering rams against it round about. Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan,
and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city : and set thy face against
it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a
sign to the house of Israel. � Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the
iniquity of the house of Israel upon it : according to the number of the days that
thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. For I have laid upon thee
the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and
ninety days : so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. And when thou
hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the
iniquity of the house of Judah forty days : I have appointed thee each day for a
year. Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine
arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. And, behold, I will lay
bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou
hast ended the days of thy siege. � Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and
beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, 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 ; three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. And thy meat which
thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day : from time to time shalt
thou eat it. "

15400 "Thou 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 ; and foundest his
heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the
Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and
the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words ; for
thou art righteous. � And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and
heardest their cry by the Red sea ; and showedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh,
and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land : for thou knewest that
they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of
the sea on the dry land ; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a
stone into the mighty waters. Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy
pillar ; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way
wherein they should go. 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 : and madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them
precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant : and gavest them
bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the
rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the
land which thou hadst sworn to give them. � But they and our fathers dealt
proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments, and
refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them ;
but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to
their bondage : but thou art a God "
2198 "Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them : they sank as lead in
the mighty waters. Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods ? Who is like
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders ? Thou stretchedst
out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the
people which thou hast redeemed : thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy
holy habitation. The people shall hear, and be afraid : sorrow shall take hold on
the inhabitants of Palestina. Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed ; the mighty
men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them ; all the inhabitants of Canaan
shall melt away. Fear and dread shall fall upon them ; by the greatness of thine
arm they shall be as still as a stone ; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the
people pass over, which thou hast purchased. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant
them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast
made for thee to dwell in ; in the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have
established. The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. � For the horse of Pharaoh
went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought
again the waters of the sea upon them ; but the children of Israel went on dry land
in the midst of the sea. 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. 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. "
25193 "Thou didst say, Woe is me now ! for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow ;
I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord
saith thus ; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I
have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. 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. "
28723 "Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great
waters. When I heard, my belly trembled ; my lips quivered at the voice :
rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in
the day of trouble : when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with
his troops. Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the
vines ; the labor 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 :
yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God
is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds� feet, and he will make me to
walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. "
22681 "thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. Lord, in trouble
have they visited thee ; they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon
them. 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 in thy sight, O Lord. 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. Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust : for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the
earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and
shut thy doors about thee : hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the
indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish
the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity : the earth also shall disclose her
blood, and shall no more cover her slain. "
26113 "Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I
had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with
them, and tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them : and thou hast set
mine oil and mine incense before them. My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour,
and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a
sweet savor : and thus it was, saith the Lord God. 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. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, that
thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the
fire for them ? 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 polluted
in thy blood. � And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee !
saith the Lord God,) that thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast
made thee a high place in every street. Thou hast built thy high place at every
head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet
to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. Thou hast also committed
fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbors, great of flesh ; and hast increased
thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger. 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. Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians,
because thou wast unsatiable ; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet
couldest not be satisfied. Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the
land of Canaan unto Chaldea ; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. "
22259 "Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy : they joy before
thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the
spoil. For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. For every battle of the warrior
is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood ; but this shall be with
burning and fuel of fire. 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,
Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the
increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of
David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and
with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will
perform this. "
17365 "thou hast visited me in the night ; thou hast tried me, and shalt find
nothing : I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. Concerning the works of
men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. Hold
up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. I have called upon thee, for
thou wilt hear me, O God : incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. Show thy
marvelous loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put
their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of
the eye ; hide me under the shadow of thy wings, from the wicked that oppress me,
from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. They are inclosed in their own fat :
with their mouth they speak proudly. They have now compassed us in our steps : they
have set their eyes bowing down to the earth ; like as a lion that is greedy of his
prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. Arise, O Lord,
disappoint him, cast him down : deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword
: from men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their
portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure : they are
full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. As for me,
I will behold thy face in righteousness : I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with
thy likeness. "
23691 "Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that
remember thee in thy ways : behold, thou art wroth ; for we have sinned : in those
is continuance, and we shall be saved. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all
our righteousnesses are as filthy rags ; and we all do fade as a leaf ; and our
iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon
thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee : for thou hast hid thy
face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. � 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. Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for
ever : behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. Thy holy cities are a
wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and our
beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire : and all
our pleasant things are laid waste. Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O
Lord ? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore ? "
32549 "thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends : but as
soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou
hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with
me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be
glad : for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again ; and was lost, and is
found. "
18428 "thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waterest
the ridges thereof abundantly : thou settlest the furrows thereof : thou makest it
soft with showers : thou blessest the springing thereof. Thou crownest the year
with thy goodness ; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the
wilderness : and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed
with flocks ; the valleys also are covered over with corn ; they shout for joy,
they also sing. "
27382 "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 to pieces. Then was
the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together,
and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors ; and the wind carried them
away, that no place was found for them : and the stone that smote the image became
a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. � This is the dream ; and we will
tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of
kings : for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and
glory. 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 ruler over
them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom
inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over
all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron : forasmuch as iron
breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things : and as iron that breaketh all these,
shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes,
part of potters� clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided ; but there
shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed
with miry clay. 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. And whereas thou sawest 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 is not mixed with clay. And in the
days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be
destroyed : and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break
in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. "
6060 "Thou shalt be blessed above all people : there shall not be male or female
barren among you, or among your cattle. And the Lord will take away from thee all
sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon
thee ; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. And thou shalt consume all
the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee ; thine eye shall have no pity
upon them : neither shalt thou serve their gods ; for that will be a snare unto
thee. � If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I ; how can
I dispossess them ? Thou shalt not be afraid of them : but shalt well remember what
the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt ; 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 people of whom thou art afraid. Moreover the Lord thy God
will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from
thee, be destroyed. Thou shalt not be affrighted at them : for the Lord thy God is
among you, a mighty God and terrible. And the Lord thy God will put 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. But the Lord thy God shall deliver
them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be
destroyed. And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy
their name from under heaven : there shall no man be able to stand before thee,
until thou have destroyed them. The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with
fire : thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto
thee, lest thou be snared therein : for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God. "
26432 "Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of
astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. Thou shalt even
drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off
thine own breasts : for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 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. � The Lord said moreover
unto me ; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah ? yea, declare unto them
their abominations ; that they have committed adultery, and blood is in their
hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused
their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour
them. Moreover this they have done unto me : they have defiled my sanctuary in the
same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 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. And furthermore, that ye have sent
for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent ; and, lo, they came : for
whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with
ornaments, and satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon
thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. And a voice of a multitude being at ease
was with her : and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the
wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their
heads. � Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit
whoredoms with her, and she with them ? Yet they went in unto her, as they go in
unto a woman that playeth the harlot : so went they in unto Aholah and unto
Aholibah, the lewd women. "
6743 "Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her : thou shalt
build a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein : thou shalt plant a vineyard, and
shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 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 rescue them. 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 long : and there shall be no might in thine hand. The fruit of thy
land, and all thy labors, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up ; and thou
shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway : so that thou shalt be mad for the sight
of thine eyes which thou shalt see. The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in
the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto
the top of thy head. � The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set
over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known ; and there
shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. And thou shalt become an astonishment,
a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. Thou
shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in ; for the
locust shall consume it. Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt
neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes ; for the worms shall eat them.
Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint
thyself with the oil ; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. Thou shalt beget sons
and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them ; for they shall go into captivity.
All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. The stranger that is
within thee shall get up above thee very high ; and thou shalt come down very low.
"
6828 "thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God
hath driven thee, 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 ; that then the Lord thy God will turn thy
captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all
the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be
driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God
gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee : 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. 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. And the Lord thy God
will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which
persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all
his commandments which I command thee this day. And the Lord thy God will make thee
plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit
of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good : for the Lord will again
rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers : if thou shalt hearken
unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which
are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with
all thine heart, and with all thy soul. � For this commandment which I command thee
this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven,
that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us,
that we may hear it, and do it ? "
26595 "Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers :
for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. � Moreover the word of the Lord came unto
me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto
him, Thus saith the Lord God ; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect
in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God ; every precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper,
the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold : the workmanship of thy
tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth ; and I have set thee so : thou wast
upon the holy mountain of God ; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the
stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created,
till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have
filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned : therefore I will
cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God : and I will destroy thee, O
covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up
because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness :
I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold
thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by
the iniquity of thy traffic ; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of
thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the
sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall
be astonished at thee : thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. "
25811 "Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of a hin : from time
to time shalt thou drink. And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt
bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. And the Lord said, Even
thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles,
whither I will drive them. 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 in pieces ; neither came there abominable flesh into my
mouth. Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow�s dung for man�s dung, and
thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 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 care ; and they shall drink water by measure, and with
astonishment : that they may want bread and water, and be astonished one with
another, and consume away for their iniquity. "
6397 "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 set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. But he shall not multiply
horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he
should multiply horses : forasmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall
henceforth return no more that way. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself,
that his heart turn not away : neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver
and gold. � 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 : 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 : 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. "
6243 "Thou shalt not eat it ; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. 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 sight of the Lord. Only thy holy
things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which
the Lord shall choose : 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.
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 sight of the Lord thy God. "
2454 "Thou shalt not raise a false report : put not thine hand with the wicked to
be an unrighteous witness. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil ; neither
shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment : neither shalt
thou countenance a poor man in his cause. � If thou meet thine enemy�s ox or his
ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 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. � Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor
in his cause. "
6372 "Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock, or sheep,
wherein is blemish, or any evil-favoredness : for that is an abomination unto the
Lord thy God. � If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord
thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the
Lord thy God, in transgressing his covenant, and hath gone and served other gods,
and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I
have not commanded ; and it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired
diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination
is wrought in Israel : then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which
have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and
shalt stone them with stones, till they die. "
6517 "Thou shalt not see thy brother�s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself
from them : thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. And if thy
brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it
unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it,
and thou shalt restore it to him again. In like manner shalt thou do with his ass ;
and so shalt thou do with his raiment ; and with all lost things of thy brother�s,
which he hath "
3849 "Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law : she is thy
son�s wife ; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy brother�s wife : it is thy brother�s nakedness. Thou shalt not
uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her
son�s daughter, or her daughter�s daughter, to uncover her nakedness ; for they are
her near kinswomen : it is wickedness. Neither shalt thou take a wife to her
sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in her life time. �
Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she
is put apart for her uncleanness. Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy
neighbor�s wife, to defile thyself with her. And thou shalt not let any of thy
seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy
God : I am the Lord. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind : it is
abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith :
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto : it is confusion.
� Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things : for in all these the nations
are defiled which I cast out before you : and the land is defiled : therefore I do
visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her
inhabitants. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not
commit any of these abominations ; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger
that sojourneth among you : (for all these abominations have the men of the land
done, which were before you, and the land is defiled ;) that the land spew not you
out also, when ye defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you. For
whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them
shall be cut off from among their people. "
23103 "Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with
thee : they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not ; I
will help thee. � Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel ; I will help
thee, saith the Lord, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 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. Thou shalt fan
them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them :
and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel. �
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for
thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I
will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys : I will
make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will
plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil
tree ; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree
together : 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. "
22563 "Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city : thy slain
men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. All thy rulers are fled
together, they are bound by the archers : all that are found in thee are bound
together, which have fled from far. Therefore said I, Look away from me ; I will
weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of
my people. � For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by
the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of
crying to the mountains. And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and
horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. And it shall come to pass, that thy
choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves
in array at the gate. And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look
in that day to the armor of the house of the forest. Ye have seen also the breaches
of the city of David, that they are many : and ye gathered together the waters of
the lower pool. And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have
ye broken down to fortify the wall. Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for
the water of the old pool : but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither
had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago. � And in that day did the Lord God
of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with
sackcloth : 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. And
it was revealed in mine ears by the Lord of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not
be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord God of hosts. "
37790 "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And
the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to
faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure
hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself
with the affairs of this life ; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a
soldier. "
35834 "Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed
in. Well ; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be
not high-minded, but fear : for if God spared not the natural branches, take heed
lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God : on
them which fell, severity ; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his
goodness : otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not
still in unbelief, shall be graffed in : for God is able to graff them in again.
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert
graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree ; how much more shall these,
which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree ? "
36355 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity,
I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of
prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge ; and though I have all
faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And
though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be
burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. � Charity suffereth long,
and is kind ; charity envieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil ; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth ; beareth
all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. � Charity
never faileth : but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail ; whether there be
tongues, they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For
we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come,
then that which is in part shall be done away. "
9418 three times : and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until
David exceeded. And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn
both of us in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be between me and thee, and
between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed : and Jonathan
went into the city.
28268 Three Visions of Destruction
8134 "threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you ?
remember also that I am your bone and your flesh. 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. And they gave him
threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith
Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him. 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 : notwithstanding, yet Jotham the
youngest son of Jerubbaal was left ; for he hid himself. And all the men of Shechem
gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by
the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem. � 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.
The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them ; and they said unto the
olive tree, Reign thou over us. But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave
my fatness, wherewith by me they honor God and man, and go to be promoted over the
trees ? And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us. But the
fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go
to be promoted over the trees ? Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and
reign over us. And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth
God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees ? Then said all the trees unto
the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us. 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. "
14041 "threescore concubines ; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore
daughters.) And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler
among his brethren : for he thought to make him king. And he dealt wisely, and
dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin,
unto every fenced city : and he gave them victuals in abundance. And he desired
many wives. "
21921 threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. They all hold
swords, being expert in war : every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of
fear in the night. King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. He
made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it
of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith
his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness
of his heart.
2940 "Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord God,
the God of Israel. For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy
borders : neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear
before the Lord thy God thrice in the year. � Thou shalt not offer the blood of my
sacrifice with leaven ; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be
left unto the morning. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring
unto the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother�s
milk. "
21080 "Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth
with all wisdom. A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may
discover itself. When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with
ignominy reproach. The words of a man�s mouth are as deep waters, and the
wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. It is not good to accept the person of the
wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgement. A fool�s lips enter into
contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. A fool�s mouth is his destruction,
and his lips are the snare of his soul. The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. He also that is slothful in
his work is brother to him that is a great waster. The name of the Lord is a strong
tower : the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. The rich man�s wealth is his
strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit. Before destruction the heart of
man is haughty ; and before honor is humility. He that answereth a matter before he
heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. The spirit of a man will sustain his
infirmity ; but a wounded spirit who can bear ? The heart of the prudent getteth
knowledge ; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. A man�s gift maketh room for
him, and bringeth him before great men. He that is first in his own cause seemeth
just ; "
10530 "Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. The Lord
thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice. And he sent out arrows,
and scattered them ; lightning, and discomfited them. And the channels of the sea
appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the
Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. He sent from above, he took me ;
he drew me out of many waters : he delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them
that hated me : for they were too strong for me. They prevented me in the day of my
calamity : but the Lord was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place :
he delivered me, because he delighted in me. The Lord rewarded me according to my
righteousness ; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. For
I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For
all his judgments were before me : and as for his statutes, I did not depart from
them. I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness ; according to
my cleanness in his eyesight. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful,
and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright. With the pure thou wilt
show thyself pure ; and with the froward thou wilt show thyself unsavory. And the
afflicted people thou wilt save : "
13266 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting,
and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise
with psalteries and harps. � And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the
Lord came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a
window saw king David dancing and playing : and she despised him in her heart.
13819 "Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished :
and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated ; and the
silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the
house of God. "
31589 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take
away my reproach among men.
28286 "Thus hath the Lord God showed unto me : and behold a basket of summer fruit.
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 of Israel ; I will not again
pass by them any more. And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day,
saith the Lord God : there shall be many dead bodies in every place ; they shall
cast them forth with silence. "
28269 "Thus hath the Lord God showed unto me ; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers
in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth ; and, lo, it was the
latter growth after the king�s mowings. And it came to pass, that when they had
made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I
beseech thee : by whom shall Jacob arise ? for he is small. The Lord repented for
this : It shall not be, saith the Lord. � Thus hath the Lord God showed unto me :
and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great
deep, and did eat up a part. Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee : by
whom shall Jacob arise ? for he is small. The Lord repented for this : This also
shall not be, saith the Lord God. � Thus he showed me : and, behold, the Lord stood
upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 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 : 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. "
949 "Thus have I been twenty years in thy house : I served thee fourteen years
for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle ; and thou hast changed my
wages ten times. Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of
Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen
mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight. � And
Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these
children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest
is mine : and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their
children which they have borne ? Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I
and thou ; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. And Jacob took a stone,
and set it up for a pillar. And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones ; and
they took stones, and made a heap : and they did eat there upon the heap. And Laban
called it Jegar-sahadutha [the heap of witness] : but Jacob called it Galeed [the
heap of witness]. And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this
day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed, and Mizpah [a beacon or
watchtower] ; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent
one from another. If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other
wives beside my daughters, no man is with us ; see, God is witness betwixt me and
thee. � And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I
have cast betwixt me and thee ; this heap be witness, and this pillar be witness,
that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this
heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. 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. "
25409 "Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against
them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind ;
and will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land :
for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. Against him that
bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his
brigandine : and spare ye not her young men ; destroy ye utterly all her host. Thus
the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through
in her streets. For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the
Lord of hosts ; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of
Israel. � Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul : be not
cut off in her iniquity ; for this is the time of the Lord�s vengeance ; he will
render unto her a recompense. Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord�s hand,
that made all the earth drunken : the nations have drunken of her wine ; therefore
the nations are mad. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed : howl for her ; take
balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. 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. The Lord
hath brought forth our righteousness : come, and let us declare in Zion the work of
the Lord our God. � Make bright the arrows ; gather the shields : the Lord hath
raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes : for his device is against Babylon,
to destroy it ; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his
temple. "
28145 "Thus saith the Lord ; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will
not turn away the punishment thereof ; because he burned the bones of the king of
Edom into lime : but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces
of Kirioth : and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of
the trumpet : and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay
all the princes thereof with him, saith the Lord. � Thus saith the Lord ; For three
transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment
thereof ; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept his
commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have
walked : "
24419 "Thus saith the Lord ; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak
there this word, 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 : thus saith the Lord ; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and
deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor : and do no "
24856 "Thus saith the Lord ; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my
covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season ;
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. 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. � Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, Considerest thou not
what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen,
he hath even cast them off ? thus they have despised my people, that they should be
no more a nation before them. Thus saith the Lord ; If my covenant be not with day
and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth ; then
will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take
any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob : for I
will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them. "
27207 "Thus saith the Lord God ; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward
the east shall be shut the six working days ; but on the sabbath it shall be
opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened. And the prince shall
enter by the way of the porch of that 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. Likewise the people of the land shall
worship at the door of this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new
moons. And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the Lord in the
sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. And the
meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as
he shall be able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 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. And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a
bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall
attain unto, and a hin of oil to an ephah. "
25180 "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying ; Ye and your wives
have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will
surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink offerings unto her : ye will surely accomplish your vows, and
surely perform your vows. Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judah that
dwell in the land of Egypt ; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord,
that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the
land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth. Behold, I will watch over them for
evil, and not for good : and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt
shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into
the land of Judah ; and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of
Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs. And
this shall be a 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 :
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. "
23199 "thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which
will help thee ; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant ; and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have
chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry
ground : I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine
offspring : and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the
watercourses. 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. � Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel,
and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts ; I am the first, and I am the last ; and
besides me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and
set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people ? and the things that
are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid
: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it ? ye are even my
witnesses. Is there a God besides me ? yea, there is no God ; I know not any. "
23230 "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
before him the two-leaved gates ; and the gates shall not be shut ; I will go
before thee, and make the crooked places straight : I will break in pieces the
gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron : and I will give thee the
treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know
that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. "
24169 Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon
thy loins, and put it not in water. So I got a girdle according to the word of the
Lord, and put it on my loins. And the word of the Lord came unto me the second
time, saying, Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and
arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. So I went, and hid
it by Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me. 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.
24352 "Thus saith the Lord, Go and get a potter�s earthen bottle, and take of the
ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests ; and go forth unto the
valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim
there the words that I shall tell thee : "
23492 "Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice : for my salvation is
near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that doeth
this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it ; that keepeth the sabbath from
polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. "
23737 "Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my
footstool : where is the house that ye build unto me ? and where is the place of my
rest ? For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been,
saith the Lord : but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a
contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. � He that killeth an ox is as if he slew
a man ; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog�s neck ; he that
offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine�s blood ; he that burneth incense, as
if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul
delighteth in their abominations. 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 evil before mine eyes, and chose that in
which I delighted not. � Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word ;
Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name�s sake, said, Let the
Lord be glorified : but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. A
voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that
rendereth recompense to his enemies. � Before she travailed, she brought forth ;
before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a
thing ? who hath seen such things ? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one
day ? or shall a nation be born at once ? for as soon as Zion travailed, she
brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring
forth ? saith the Lord : shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb ? saith
thy God. "
23376 "Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother�s divorcement, whom I
have put away ? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you ? Behold,
for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your
mother put away. 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.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. � The
Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a
word in season to him that is weary : he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth
mine ear to hear as the learned. The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not
rebellious, neither turned away back. 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. �
For the Lord God will help me ; therefore shall I not be confounded : therefore
have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near
that justifieth me ; who will contend with me ? let us stand together : who is mine
adversary ? let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord God will help me ; who is he
that shall condemn me ? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment ; the moth shall
eat them up. "
22974 "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. Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have
done to all lands by destroying them utterly ; and shalt thou be delivered ? Have
the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan,
and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar ? Where is
the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim,
Hena, and Ivah ? � 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. And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying, O Lord of
hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, even
thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth : thou hast made heaven and earth.
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. Of a
truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their
countries, 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. 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. � Then Isaiah the son of
Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Whereas thou
hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria : this is the word which the
Lord hath spoken concerning him ; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised
thee, and laughed thee to scorn ; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at
thee. "
9 "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And
on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made ; and he rested on the
seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day,
and sanctified it : because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made. "
25724 "Thus were their faces : and their wings were stretched upward ; two wings of
every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. And they went
every one straight forward : whither the spirit was to go, they went ; and they
turned not when they went. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their
appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps : it
went up and down among the living creatures ; and the fire was bright, and out of
the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned as the
appearance of a flash of lightning. � Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold
one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. The
appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the color of a beryl : and
they four had one likeness : and their appearance and their work was as it were a
wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides :
and they turned not when they went. As for their rings, they were so high that they
were dreadful ; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And when
the living creatures went, the wheels went by them : and when the living creatures
were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Whithersoever the spirit
was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go ; and the wheels were lifted
up over against them : for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
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 over against them : for
the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. � And the likeness of the
firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible
crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. "
26665 "Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt : and they shall know that I am the
Lord. � 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, Son of
man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt ; and, lo, it shall not be
bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the
sword. 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. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the
nations, and will disperse them through the countries. And I will strengthen the
arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand : but I will break
Pharaoh�s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly
wounded man. But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of
Pharaoh shall fall down ; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall put
my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the
land of Egypt. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse
them among the countries ; and they shall know that I am the Lord. "
28645 "Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great 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. Thy shepherds slumber, O king of
Assyria : thy nobles shall dwell in the dust : thy people is scattered upon the
mountains, and no man gathereth them. There is no healing of thy bruise ; thy wound
is grievous : all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee : for
upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually ? "
11199 "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. And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again
to me. And the people departed. � And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men,
that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise
that I may answer this people ? 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. But he forsook the
counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men
that were grown up with him, and which stood before him : and he said unto them,
What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying,
Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter ? And the young men that
were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this
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 shall be
thicker than my father�s loins. And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy
yoke, I will add to your yoke : my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will
chastise you with scorpions. � So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the
third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day. And
the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men�s counsel that they
gave him ; and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father
made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke : my father also chastised you
with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. Wherefore the king hearkened
not unto the people ; for the cause was from the Lord, that he might perform his
saying, which the "

recompense be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed,
the lame, the blind : and thou shalt be blessed ; for they cannot recompense thee :
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. "
17818 "Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens ; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto
the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains ; thy judgments are a
great deep : O Lord, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy loving-
kindness, O God ! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of
thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house ; and
thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the
fountain of life : in thy light shall we see light. O continue thy loving-kindness
unto them that know thee ; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. Let not
the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen : they are cast down, and shall not be
able to rise. "
13886 "thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm ; if they come and pray in this
house ; then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do
according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for ; that all people of the
earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know
that this house which I have built is called by thy name. � If thy people go out to
war against their enemies by the way that 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 ; then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and
maintain their cause. � If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which
sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their
enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near ; yet if
they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and
pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done
amiss, and have dealt wickedly ; if they return to thee with all their heart and
with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them
captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and
toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for
thy name : then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their
prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people
which have sinned against thee. Now, 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. 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. "
22060 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. � 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. And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy
dross, and take away all thy tin : and I will restore thy judges as at the first,
and thy counselors as at the beginning : afterward thou shalt be called, The city
of righteousness, the faithful city. � Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and
her converts with righteousness. And the destruction of the transgressors and of
the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be

9274 "Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear : and this uncircumcised
Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living
God. David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion,
and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this
Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee. And Saul armed
David with his armor, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head ; also he armed
him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon his armor, 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. And he took his
staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them
in a shepherd�s bag which he had, even in a scrip ; and his sling was in his hand :
and he drew near to the Philistine. � And the Philistine came on and drew near unto
David ; and the man that bare the shield went before him. And when the Philistine
looked about, and saw David, he disdained him : for he was but a youth, and ruddy,
and of a fair countenance. 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. 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. Then said David to the Philistine, Thou
comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield : but I come to thee
in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast
defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand ; and I will smite thee,
and take thine head from thee ; and I will give the carcasses 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. "

pigeons, such as he is able to get ; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the
other a burnt offering. And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing

the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, as the days wherein the
Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from
sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day : that they should make them days
of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
� And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto
them ; 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 ; but when Esther came before the king, he
commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews,
should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the
gallows. Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore
for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this
matter, and which had come unto them, 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 their writing, and
according to their appointed time every year ; 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. � Then Esther the queen, the daughter
of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second
letter of Purim. And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty
and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth, to
confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew
and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as "
21629 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven : a time to be born, and a time to die ; a time to plant, and a time to
pluck up that which is planted ; a time to kill, and a time to heal ; a time to
break down, and a time to build up ; a time to weep, and a time to laugh ; a time
to mourn, and a time to dance ; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather
stones together ; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing ; "
15957 "To him that is afflicted pity should be showed from his friend ; but he
forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook,
and as the stream of brooks they pass away ; which are blackish by reason of the
ice, and wherein the snow is hid : what time they wax warm, they vanish : when it
is hot, they are consumed out of their place. The paths of their way are turned
aside ; they go to nothing, and perish. The troops of Tema looked, the companies of
Sheba waited for them. They were confounded because they had hoped ; they came
thither, and were ashamed. For now ye are nothing ; ye see my casting down, and are
afraid. Did I say, Bring unto me ? or, Give a reward for me of your substance ? or,
Deliver me from the enemy�s hand ? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty ?
Teach me, and I will hold my tongue : and cause me to understand wherein I have
erred. How forcible are right words ! But what doth your arguing reprove ? Do ye
imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as
wind ? Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend. Now
therefore be content, look upon me ; for it is evident unto you if I lie. Return, I
pray you, let it not be iniquity ; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it. Is
there iniquity in my tongue ? Cannot my taste discern perverse things ? "

even I, am he, and there is no god with me : I kill, and I make alive ; I wound,
and I heal : neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my
hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine
hand take hold on judgment ; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will
reward them that hate me. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword
shall devour flesh ; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from
the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people :

him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 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. And it was
told Saul that David was fled to Gath : and he sought no more again for him. � And
David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a
place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there : for why should thy
servant dwell in the royal city with thee ? Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day :
wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. And the time
that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
� And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and
the Amalekites : for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou
goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. And David smote the land, and left
neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses,
and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish. And Achish said,
Whither have ye made a road today ? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and
against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites. And
David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest
they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the
while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines. And Achish believed David,
saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him ; therefore he shall be

are weak, but ye are strong ; ye are honorable, but we are despised. Even unto this
present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have
no certain dwelling place ; and labor, working with our own hands : being reviled,
we bless ; being persecuted, we suffer it : being defamed, we entreat : we are made
as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. � I
write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. For though

son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways
which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. Now some are puffed up,

will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. For

about as a chain ; violence covereth them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with
fatness : they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt, and speak
wickedly concerning oppression : they speak loftily. They set their mouth against
the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore his people

a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree
are a lie : to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

Most High ; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. � Thus he

diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it
down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings
that shall arise : and another shall rise after them ; and he shall be diverse from
the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against
the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change
times and laws : and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and

dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion,

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. 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. And I will put a division between my
people and thy people : tomorrow shall this sign be. And the Lord did so ; and
there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his
servants� houses, and into all the land of Egypt : the land was corrupted by reason
of the swarm of flies. � And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go
ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. 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 ? We will go three days� journey into the wilderness, and
sacrifice to the Lord our God, as he shall command us. 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. 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 : but let not Pharaoh deal
deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord. And
Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the Lord. 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. "

thou canst not bear them which are evil : and thou hast tried them which say they

have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember
therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works ; or else
I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,
except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
Nicolaitans, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit

Unto thy seed will I give it : and I will send an angel before thee ; and I will

Hivite, and the Jebusite : 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. � And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned : and
no man did put on him his ornaments. For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the
children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people : I will come up into the midst of
thee in a moment, and consume thee : therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee,
that I may know what to do unto thee. And the children of Israel stripped
themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. � And Moses took the tabernacle,
and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the
Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought
the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the
camp. And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the
people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until
he was gone into the tabernacle. And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the
tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle,
and the Lord talked with Moses. And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at
the tabernacle door : and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his
tent door. 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 servant Joshua, the son of Nun,
a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. "

there Abram called on the name of the Lord. And Lot also, which went with Abram,
had flocks, and herds, and tents. 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. And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram�s cattle and the
herdmen of Lot�s cattle : and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the
land. � 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 be brethren. 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 depart to the right hand,
then I will go to the left. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of
Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest
unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan ; and Lot journeyed east :
and they separated themselves the one from the other. Abram dwelt in the land of
Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward
Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly. �
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 : for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it,
and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth : so

numbered. "

for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with
the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. "

be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my
supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy
oracle. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which
speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. Give them
according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors :
give them after the work of their hands ; render to them their desert. Because they
regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy
them, and not build them up. Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice
of my supplications. The Lord is my strength and my shield ; my heart trusted in
him, and I am helped : therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth ; and with my song will
I praise him. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his
anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance : feed them also, and lift

I will judge uprightly. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved : I
bear up the pillars of it. Selah. I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly : and
to the wicked, Lift not up the horn : lift not up your horn on high : speak not
with a stiff neck. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west,
nor from the south. But God is the judge : he putteth down one, and setteth up
another. For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red ; it is
full of mixture ; and he poureth out of the same : but the dregs thereof, all the
wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. But I will declare for
ever ; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. All the horns of the wicked also
will I cut off ; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. "

not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on
thee be ashamed : let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Show me thy
ways, O Lord ; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me : for thou
art the God of my salvation ; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O Lord, thy
tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses ; for they have been ever of old. Remember
not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions : according to thy mercy remember
thou me for thy goodness� sake, O Lord. Good and upright is the Lord : therefore
will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment : and the meek
will he teach his way. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as
keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name�s sake, O Lord, pardon mine
iniquity ; for it is great. What man is he that feareth the Lord ? Him shall he
teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease ; and his seed
shall inherit the earth. "

mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
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 them from heaven ; and many
times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies ; 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. Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst
against them by thy Spirit in thy prophets : yet would they not give ear :
therefore gavest thou them into the hands of the people of the lands. Nevertheless
for thy great mercies� sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them ;
for thou art a gracious and merciful God. � Now therefore, our God, the great, the
mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the
trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our
princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all
thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. Howbeit thou art
just in all that is brought upon us ; for thou hast done right, but we have done
wickedly : 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. 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. "

made by fire unto the Lord. And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave
offering before the Lord : for of the ram of consecration it was Moses� part ; as
the Lord commanded Moses. � And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood
which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and

Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation ; and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of

atonement for you. Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the

said, Not so, Lord : for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my
mouth. But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that
call not thou common. And this was done three times : and all were drawn up again

hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going : behold, he is at hand that doth betray
me.

his blood will I require at thine hand. 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. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his
righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall
die : because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his
righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered ; but his blood will I
require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the righteous man, that the
righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is
warned ; also thou hast delivered thy soul. "
35256 we accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all
thankfulness. Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee
that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words. For we have found this man
a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the
world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes : who also hath gone about to
profane the temple : whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. But
the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of
our hands, commanding his accusers to come unto thee : by examining of whom thyself
mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. � And the Jews
also assented, saying that these things were so. � Then Paul, after that the
governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou
hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer
for myself : because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve
days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship. And they neither found me in the
temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the
synagogues, nor in the city : neither can they prove the things whereof they now
accuse me. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy,
so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the
law and in the prophets : and have hope toward God, which they themselves also
allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward
God, and toward men. Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and
offerings.
35740 we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come, 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.
17997 "We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou
didst in their days, in the times of old. How thou didst drive out the heathen with
thy hand, and plantedst them ; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them
out. For they got 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 favor unto them. Thou art my King, O God :
command deliverances for Jacob. Through thee will we push down our enemies :
through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. For I will not
trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. But thou hast saved us from our
enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. In God we boast all the day
long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. But thou hast cast off, and put us to
shame ; and goest not forth with our armies. Thou makest us to turn back from the
enemy : and they which hate us spoil for themselves. Thou hast given us like sheep
appointed for meat ; "
23867 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us : for we have sinned
against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day,
and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.
1674 "we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father.
And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. And his brethren also went and fell down
before his face ; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. And Joseph said unto
them, Fear not : for am I in the place of God ? But as for you, ye thought evil
against me ; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to
save much people alive. Now therefore fear ye not : I will nourish you, and your
little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them. � And Joseph dwelt
in Egypt, he, and his father�s house : and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
And Joseph saw Ephraim�s children of the third generation : the children also of
Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph�s knees. And Joseph said
unto his brethren, I die ; and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this
land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 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. So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years
old : and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. "
35914 "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not
to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to
edification. For even Christ pleased not himself ; but, as it is written, The
reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. For whatsoever things were
written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and
comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. "
36620 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not
the grace of God in vain.
5586 "We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have
inherited every man his inheritance : for we will not inherit with them on yonder
side Jordan, or forward ; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side
Jordan eastward. And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go
armed before the Lord to war, and will go all of you armed over Jordan before the
Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him, and the land be subdued
before the Lord : then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord,
and before Israel ; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord. But if
ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord : and be sure your sin
will find you out. Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your
sheep ; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. And the children of Gad
and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my
lord commandeth. Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall
be there in the cities of Gilead : but thy servants will pass over, every man armed
for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith. � So concerning them Moses
commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of
the tribes of the children of Israel : and Moses said unto them, If the children of
Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man 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 : but if they will not pass over with
you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. And the
children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said
unto thy servants, so will we do. "
5602 "We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the
possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours. � And Moses gave
unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto
half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the
Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof
in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about. And the children of Gad
built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities ; and folds for sheep. And the
children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, and Nebo, and Baal-
meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah : and gave other names unto the
cities which they builded. And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to
Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it. And Moses gave
Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh ; and he dwelt therein. And Jair the son of
Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair. And
Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after
his own name. "
27422 "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 ? � Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O
Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 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. 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. � Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed
against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego : therefore he spake, and commanded that
they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these
men were bound in their coats, their hose, and their hats, and their other
garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 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 Abednego. And these
three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the
burning fiery furnace. � Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up
in haste, and spake, and said unto his counselors, Did not we cast three men bound
into the midst of the fire ? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He
answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and
they have no hurt ; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. � Then
Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and
said, Shadrach, Meshach, and "
4082 "well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the
name of the Lord, shall be put to death. And he that killeth any man shall surely
be put to death. And he that killeth a beast shall make it good ; beast for beast.
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor ; as he hath done, so shall it be done
to him ; breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth : as he hath caused a
blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. And he that killeth a beast, he
shall restore it : and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. Ye shall
have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country :
for I am the Lord your God. And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they
should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones :
and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses. "
28998 "were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was
laid, that the temple might be built. For before these days there was no hire for
man, nor any hire for beast ; neither was there any peace to him that went out or
came in because of the affliction : for I set all men every one against his
neighbor. But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former
days, saith the Lord of hosts. For the seed shall be prosperous ; the vine shall
give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give
their dew ; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these
things. And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O
house of Judah, and house of Israel ; so will I save you, and ye shall be a
blessing : fear not, but let your hands be strong. � For thus saith the Lord of
hosts ; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith
the Lord of hosts, and I repented not : so again have I thought in these days to do
well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah : fear ye not. These are the things
that ye shall do ; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor ; execute the
judgment of truth and peace in your gates : and let none of you imagine evil in
your hearts against his neighbor ; and love no false oath : for all these are
things that I hate, saith the Lord. � And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto
me, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; The fast of the fourth month, and the
fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be
to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts ; therefore love the
truth and peace. � Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; It shall yet come to pass, that
there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities : "
15661 "were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every
province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language
; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king�s ring.
And the letters were sent by posts into all the king�s provinces, to destroy, to
kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and
women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the
month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. The copy of the writing for a
commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they
should be ready against that day. The posts went out, being hastened by the king�s
commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman
sat down to drink ; but the city Shushan was perplexed. "
24036 "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. I will surely consume them, saith the Lord : there shall be no grapes on the
vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade ; and the things that I
have given them shall pass away from them. � Why do we sit still ? assemble
yourselves, and let us enter into the defensed 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. We looked for peace, but no good came ;
and for a time of health, and behold trouble ! � The snorting of his horses was
heard from Dan : the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong
ones ; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it ; the
city, and those that dwell therein. For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices,
among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord. "
35541 "What advantage then hath the Jew ? or what profit is there of circumcision ?
Much every way : chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
For what if some did not believe ? shall their unbelief make the faith of God
without effect ? God forbid : yea, let God be true, but every man a liar ; as it is
written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when
thou art judged. But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what
shall we say ? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance ? (I speak as a man) God
forbid : for then how shall God judge the world ? For if the truth of God hath more
abounded through my lie unto his glory ; why yet am I also judged as a sinner ? and
not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let
us do evil, that good may come ? whose damnation is just. "
6158 What God Requires
21961 "What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women ?
What is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us ? My
beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. His head is as the
most fine gold ; his locks are bushy, and black as a raven : his eyes are as the
eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set : his cheeks
are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers : his lips like lilies, dropping sweet
smelling myrrh : his hands are as gold rings set with the beryl : his belly is as
bright ivory overlaid with sapphires : his legs are as pillars of marble, set upon
sockets of fine gold : his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars : his
mouth is most sweet : yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is
my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. "
26242 "What is thy mother ? A lioness : she lay down among lions, she nourished her
whelps among young lions. And she brought up one of her whelps : it became a young
lion, and it learned to catch the prey ; it devoured men. The nations also heard of
him ; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of
Egypt. 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. And he went up and down among the
lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men. And
he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities ; and the land was
desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring. Then the nations
set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him :
he was taken in their pit. And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to
the king of Babylon : they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be
heard upon the mountains of Israel. Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted
by the waters : she was fruitful and full of branches "
35625 What shall we say then ? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound ?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein ? Know ye
not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his
death ?
35575 "What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh,
hath found ? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory ; but
not before God. For what saith the Scripture ? Abraham believed God, and it was
counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not
reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him
that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David
also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness
without works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose
sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. �
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision
also ? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. How was it
then reckoned ? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision ? Not in
circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the sign of circumcision, a
seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised : that
he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised ;
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also : and the father of circumcision
to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of
that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. "
28537 What the Lord Requires
3539 "Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud,
among the beasts, that shall ye eat. Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat of them
that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof : as the camel, because he
cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof ; he is unclean unto you. And the coney,
because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof ; he is unclean unto you. And
the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof ; he is unclean
unto you. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he
cheweth not the cud ; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and
their carcass shall ye not touch ; they are unclean to you. � 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. And all that have not fins and scales
in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living
thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you : they shall be
even an abomination unto you ; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have
their carcasses in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters,
that shall be an abomination unto you. � And these are they which ye shall have in
abomination among the fowls ; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination :
the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, and the vulture, and the kite after
his kind ; every raven after his kind ; and the owl, and the nighthawk, and the
cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the
great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the stork, the
heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. "
6591 "When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she
find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her : then let
him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of
his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another
man�s wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of
divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house ; or if
the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife ; 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. "
28000 "When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel ; but when he
offended in Baal, he died. And now they sin more and more, and have made them
molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all
of it the work of the craftsmen : they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss
the calves. Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that
passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and
as the smoke out of the chimney. � Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of
Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me : for there is no saviour beside me. I did
know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. According to their
pasture, so were they filled ; they were filled, and their heart was exalted ;
therefore have they forgotten me. Therefore I will be unto them as a lion : as a
leopard by the way will I observe them : I will meet them as a bear that is
bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I
devour them like a lion : the wild beast shall tear them. � O Israel, thou hast
destroyed thyself ; but in me is thine help. I will be thy king : where is any
other that may save thee in all thy cities ? and thy judges of whom thou saidst,
Give me a king and princes ? I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in
my wrath. � The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up ; his sin is hid. "
18303 when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. As
a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away : like the untimely birth of
a woman, that they may not see the sun. Before your pots can feel the thorns, he
shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. The
righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance : he shall wash his feet in the
blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the
righteous : verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
33265 "When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea 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. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will
not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus
saith unto him, Go thy way ; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that
Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his
servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then inquired he of them
the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh
hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the
which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth : and himself believed, and his whole
house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of
Judea into Galilee. "
37572 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all
them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. �
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this
calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith
with power : that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye
in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2041 "when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbor, and
every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. And the Lord
gave the people favor 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. � And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I
go out into the midst of Egypt : 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
beasts. And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as
there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more. 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.
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 a great anger. And the Lord said unto
Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you ; that my wonders may be multiplied in
the land of Egypt. � And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh : and
the Lord hardened Pharaoh�s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel
go out of his land. "
29506 "When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And,
behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou
canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I
will ; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith
unto him, See thou tell no man ; but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and
offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. "
30570 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying,
Have thou nothing to do with that just man : for I have suffered many things this
day in a dream because of him. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the
multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The governor answered
and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you ? They
said, Barabbas. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is
called Christ ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said,
Why, what evil hath he done ? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be
crucified. � When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a
tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying,
I am innocent of the blood of this just person : see ye to it. Then answered all
the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Then released he
Barabbas unto them : and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be
crucified. � Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and
gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him
a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his
head, and a reed in his right hand : and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked
him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews ! And they spit upon him, and took the reed,
and smote him on the head. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe
off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
25839 "When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for
their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you : and I will increase the
famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread : so will I send upon you
famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee ; and pestilence and blood
shall pass through thee ; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have
spoken it. "
36369 "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought
as a child : but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see
through a glass, darkly, but then face to face : now I know in part ; but then
shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three ; but the greatest of these is charity. "
27879 "When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was
discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria : for they commit falsehood ; and the
thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without. And they consider not
in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness : now their own doings have
beset them about ; they are before my face. They make the king glad with their
wickedness, and the princes with their lies. They are all adulterers, as an oven
heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough,
until it be leavened. In the day of our king, the princes have made him sick with
bottles of wine ; he stretched out his hand with scorners. "
27967 "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
As they called them, so they went from them : they sacrificed unto Baalim, and
burned incense to graven images. I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their
arms ; but they knew not that I healed them. I drew them with cords of a man, with
bands of love : and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and
I laid meat unto them. � He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the
Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. And the sword shall
abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of
their own counsels. And my people are bent to backsliding from me : though they
called them to the Most High, none at all would exalt him. � How shall I give thee
up, Ephraim ? how shall I deliver thee, Israel ? how shall I make thee as Admah ?
how shall I set thee as Zeboim ? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are
kindled together. I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not
return to destroy Ephraim : for I am God, and not man ; the Holy One in the midst
of thee : and I will not enter into the city. � They shall walk after the Lord : he
shall roar like a lion : when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from
the west. They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land
of Assyria : and I will place them in their houses, saith the Lord. Ephraim
compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit : but Judah yet
ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints. "
19679 "When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange
language ; Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. The sea saw it, and
fled : Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little
hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest ? thou Jordan,
that thou wast driven back ? ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams ; "
33489 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto
her, Woman, where are those thine accusers ? hath no man condemned thee ? She said,
No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee : go, and sin no
more.
33961 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the
brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And
Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place : for Jesus ofttimes resorted
thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers
from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and
weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth,
and said unto them, Whom seek ye ? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus
saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
33399 "When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto
them, Doth this offend you ? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up
where he was before ? It is the Spirit that quickeneth ; the flesh profiteth
nothing : the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But
there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they
were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I
unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
� From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then
said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away ? Then Simon Peter answered him,
Lord, to whom shall we go ? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and
are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered
them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil ? He spake of Judas
Iscariot the son of Simon : for he it was that should betray him, being one of the
twelve. "
33282 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that
case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole ? The impotent man answered him,
Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool : but while
I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up
thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and
walked : and on the same day was the sabbath. � The Jews therefore said unto him
that was cured, It is the sabbath day : it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed,
and walk. Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy
bed, and walk ? And he that was healed wist not who it was : for Jesus had conveyed
himself away, a multitude being in that place. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the
temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole : sin no more, lest a worse
thing come unto thee. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which
had made him whole. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay
him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them,
My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill
him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his
Father, making himself equal with God.
2283 "When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses� father-in-law, heard of all that
God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the Lord had brought
Israel out of Egypt ; then Jethro, Moses� father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses�
wife, after he had sent her back, and her two sons ; of which the name of the one
was Gershom [a stranger there] ; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange
land : and the name of the other was Eliezer [my God is an help] ; for the God of
my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh : and
Jethro, Moses� father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the
wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God : and he said unto Moses, I thy
father-in-law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
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. And Moses
told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians
for Israel�s sake, and all the travail "
15664 "When Mordecai perceived 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 ; and came even before the king�s gate : for none
might enter into the king�s gate clothed with sackcloth. 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. � So Esther�s maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was
the queen exceedingly grieved ; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to
take away his sackcloth from him : but he received it not. "
32448 "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, Lord, open
unto us ; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are : then
shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast
taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are ;
depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in
the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the
east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down
in the kingdom of God. And, behold, there are last which shall be first ; and
there are first which shall be last. "
9894 when one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good
tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have
given him a reward for his tidings : how much more, when wicked men have slain a
righteous person in his own house upon his bed ? shall I not therefore now require
his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth ? And David commanded his
young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged
them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried
it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
16620 "when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me ; when I
washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil ; when I went
out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street ! The young
men saw me, and hid themselves : and the aged arose, and stood up. The princes
refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. The nobles held their peace,
and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. When the ear heard me, then it
blessed me ; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me : because I delivered
the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The
blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me : and I caused the widow�s
heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me : my judgment was
as a robe and a diadem. I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. I was
a father to the poor : and the cause which I knew not I searched out. And I brake
the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. Then I said, I
shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand. My root was spread
out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. My glory was fresh in
me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept
silence at my counsel. After my words they spake not again ; "
18111 "when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about ? They that trust in
their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches ; none of them
can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him : (for the
redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever :) that he should
still live for ever, and not see corruption. For he seeth that wise men die,
likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
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.
Nevertheless man being in honor abideth not : he is like the beasts that perish.
This their way is their folly : yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
Like sheep they are laid in the grave ; death shall feed on them ; and the upright
shall have dominion over them in the morning ; and their beauty shall consume in
the grave from their dwelling. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the
grave : for he shall receive me. Selah. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich,
when the glory of his house is increased ; for when he dieth he shall carry nothing
away : his glory shall not descend after him. Though while he lived he blessed his
soul, (and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,) he shall go to
the generation of his fathers ; they shall never see light. "
6431 "When the Lord thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the Lord thy God
giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their
houses ; thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which
the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it. Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and
divide the coasts of thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee to inherit, into
three parts, that every slayer may flee thither. "
6033 "When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to
possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the
Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou ; and when
the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee ; thou shalt smite them, and
utterly destroy them ; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto
them : 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. For they will
turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods : so will the
anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. "
20060 "When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that
dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing : then
said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord
hath done great things for us ; whereof we are glad. Turn again our captivity, O
Lord, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He
that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again
with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. "
31985 "When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto
thee, saying, Art thou he that should come ? or look we for another ? And in that
same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits ; and
unto many that were blind he gave sight. Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go
your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard ; how that the blind
see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to
the poor the gospel is preached. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be
offended in me. � And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak
unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see ?
A reed shaken with the wind ? But what went ye out for to see ? A man clothed in
soft raiment ? Behold, they which are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately,
are in kings� courts. But what went ye out for to see ? A prophet ? Yea, I say unto
you, and much more than a prophet. This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I
send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I
say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet
than John the Baptist : but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than
he. And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being
baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the
counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. � And the Lord said,
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation ? and to what are they like
? They are like unto children sitting in the market place, and calling one to
another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced ; we have
mourned to you, and ye have not wept. "
30539 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people
took counsel against Jesus to put him to death : and when they had bound him, they
led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
21469 "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice : but when the
wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father :
but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. The king by
judgment establisheth the land : but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. A man
that flattereth his neighbor spreadeth a net for his feet. In the transgression of
an evil man there is a snare : but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. The
righteous considereth the cause of the poor : but the wicked regardeth not to know
it. Scornful men bring a city into a snare : but wise men turn away wrath. If a
wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
The bloodthirsty hate the upright : but the just seek his soul. A fool uttereth all
his mind : but a wise man keepeth it in till afterward. If a ruler hearken to lies,
all his servants are wicked. The poor and the deceitful man meet together : the
Lord lighteneth both their eyes. The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his
throne shall be established for ever. The rod and reproof give wisdom : but a child
left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. When the wicked are multiplied,
transgression increaseth : but the righteous shall see their fall. Correct thy son,
and he shall give thee rest ; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. Where there
is no vision, the people perish : but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. A
servant will not be corrected by words : "
20750 "when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were
settled, before the hills was I brought forth : while as yet he had not made the
earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he
prepared the heavens, I was there : when he set a compass upon the face of the
depth : when he established the clouds above : when he strengthened the fountains
of the deep : when he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass
his commandment : when he appointed the foundations of the earth : then I was by
him, as one brought up with him : and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always
before him ; rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth ; and my delights were
with the sons of men. Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children : for blessed
are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the
posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the
Lord. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul : all they that hate me
love death. "
33222 "When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and
baptized more disciples than John, (though Jesus himself baptized not, but his
disciples,) he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. And he must needs go
through Samaria. Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near
to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob�s well was
there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well : and
it was about the sixth hour. � There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water :
Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away unto the
city to buy meat.) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou,
being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria ? for the Jews have no
dealings with the Samaritans. 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. 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 ? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us
the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle ? Jesus
answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again : "
25948 "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. 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. As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. And
every one had four faces : the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second
face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the
face of an eagle. � And the cherubim were lifted up. This is the living creature
that I saw by the river of Chebar. And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by
them : and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the
same wheels also turned not from beside them. When they stood, these stood ; and
when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also : for the spirit of the
living creature was in them. � Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the
threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim. And the cherubim lifted up
their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight : when they went out, the
wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of
the Lord�s house ; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. � This
is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar ;
and I knew that they were the cherubim. Every one had four faces apiece, and every
one four wings ; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. And
the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar,
their appearances and themselves : they went every one straight forward. "
6460 "When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and
chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them : for the Lord thy God
is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be, when
ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the
people, and shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle
against your enemies : let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble,
neither be ye terrified because of them ; "
6089 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for
the good land which he hath given thee.
17490 when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of
them. Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength : so will we sing and praise thy
power.
21252 "When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before
thee : and put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not
desirous of his dainties : for they are deceitful meat. Labor not to be rich ;
cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not ? For
riches certainly make themselves wings ; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty
meats : for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he : Eat and drink, saith he to thee
; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit
up, and lose thy sweet words. Speak not in the ears of a fool : for he will despise
the wisdom of thy words. Remove not the old landmark ; and enter not into the
fields of the fatherless : for their Redeemer is mighty ; he shall plead their
cause with thee. Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of
knowledge. Withhold not correction from the child : for if thou beatest him with
the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, "
2777 "When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, 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. This they
shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel
after the shekel of the sanctuary : (a shekel is twenty gerahs :) a half shekel
shall be the offering of the Lord. Every one that passeth among them that are
numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the Lord.
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than half a shekel,
when they give an offering unto the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls. And
thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it
for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation ; that it may be a memorial
unto the children of Israel before the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls. "
26579 "When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people ; thou
didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy
merchandise. In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the
waters, thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. All
the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be
sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance. The merchants among the
people shall hiss at thee ; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more. "
20523 "When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy
soul ; discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee : to deliver
thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things ; who
leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness ; who rejoice to do
evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked ; whose ways are crooked, and
they froward in their paths : to deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the
stranger which flattereth with her words ; which forsaketh the guide of her youth,
and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, and her
paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of
the paths of life. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths
of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall
remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors
shall be rooted out of it. "
38042 "when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their
heart ; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not
enter into my rest. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart
of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while
it is called Today ; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence
steadfast unto the end ; while it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke
: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved
forty years ? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the
wilderness ? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to
them that believed not ? So we see that they could not enter in because of
unbelief. "
37403 "where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free : but Christ is all, and in all. � Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering ; forbearing one another, and
forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any : even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is
the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which
also ye are called in one body ; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom ; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father by him. "
16308 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight ? He
teareth himself in his anger : shall the earth be forsaken for thee ? And shall the
rock be removed out of his place ? Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out,
and the spark of his fire shall not shine. The light shall be dark in his
tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. The steps of his strength
shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. For he is cast into a
net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. The gin shall take him by the
heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. The snare is laid for him in the
ground, and a trap for him in the way. Terrors shall make him afraid on every side,
and shall drive him to his feet. His strength shall be hunger-bitten, and
destruction shall be ready at his side. It shall devour the strength of his skin :
even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. His confidence shall be
rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. It
shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his : brimstone shall be
scattered upon his habitation. His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall
his branch be cut off. His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall
have no name in the street. He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased
out of the world. He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any
remaining in his dwellings.
23549 "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 pleasure, and exact all your labors. Behold, ye fast for strife and debate,
and to smite with the fist of wickedness : ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to
make your voice to be heard on high. Is it such a fast that I have chosen ? a day
for a man to afflict his soul ? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to
spread sackcloth and ashes under him ? wilt thou call this a fast, and an
acceptable day to the Lord ? � Is not this the fast that I have chosen ? to loose
the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go
free, and that ye break every yoke ? 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 ?
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring
forth speedily : and thy righteousness shall go before thee ; the glory of the Lord
shall be thy rearward. 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 vanity ; and if thou draw out
thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul ; then shall thy light rise
in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday : and the Lord shall guide thee
continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones : and thou
shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
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. "
7858 "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. 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. And they called the name
of that place Bochim [weepers] : and they sacrificed there unto the Lord. "
26405 "Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of
the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. These discovered her nakedness : they took her
sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword : and she became famous among
women ; for they had executed judgment upon her. � And when her sister Aholibah saw
this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms
more than her sister in her whoredoms. She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbors,
captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of
them desirable young men. Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one
way, and that she increased her whoredoms : for when she saw men portrayed upon the
wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, girded with girdles
upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to
look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity
: and as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent
messengers unto them into Chaldea. 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 mind was alienated from them. So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered
her nakedness : then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated
from her sister. Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the
days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she
doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue
is like the issue of horses. Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy
youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth. "
8785 "Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have
commanded in my habitation ; and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat
with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people ? Wherefore the Lord God
of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should
walk before me for ever : but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me ; for them that
honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 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. And thou shalt see an enemy in
my habitation in all the wealth which God shall give Israel : and there shall not
be an old man in thine house for ever. 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. And this
shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and
Phinehas ; in one day they shall die both of them. 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. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house
shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall
say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests� offices, that I may eat a piece
of bread. "
38537 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and
envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the
word, that ye may grow thereby : if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
34192 "Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the
Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John, unto that
same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us
of his resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest
the hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen, that he may take
part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that
he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots ; and the lot fell
upon Matthias ; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. "
7270 "Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us,
saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto
them, We are your servants : therefore now make ye a league with us. 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 it is mouldy : and these bottles of wine,
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. And the men took of
their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord. And Joshua made
peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live : and the princes of
the congregation sware unto them. � And it came to pass at the end of three days
after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their
neighbors, and that they dwelt among them. 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 Kirjath-jearim. And the children of Israel smote them
not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord God of
Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes. But all the princes
said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel :
now therefore we may not touch them. This we will do to them ; we will even let
them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them. And
the princes said unto them, Let them live ; but let them be hewers of wood and
drawers of water unto all the congregation ; as the princes had promised them. �
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 ? "
1849 "Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, 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 :
and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God : and ye shall
know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of
the Egyptians. And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did
swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob ; and I will give it you for a
heritage : I am the Lord. And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel : but they
hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. � And the
Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let
the children of Israel go out of his land. 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 ? 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. � These be the
heads of their fathers� houses : The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel ;
Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi : these be the families of Reuben. 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. 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 a hundred thirty and seven years.
The sons of Gershon ; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families. And the sons
of Kohath ; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel : and the years of the life of
Kohath were a hundred thirty and three years. "
2266 "Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we
may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me ? wherefore do ye tempt
the Lord ? And the people thirsted there for water ; and the people murmured
against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of
Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst ? And Moses cried
unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people ? they be almost ready to
stone me. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go 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. 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. And he
called the name of the place Massah [temptation], and Meribah [chiding or strife],
because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the
Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not ? "
324 Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi [the well of him that liveth and
seeth me] : behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. � And Hagar bare Abram a son :
and Abram called his son�s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael. And Abram was fourscore
and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
37480 "Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at
Athens alone ; and sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow
laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning
your faith : that no man should be moved by these afflictions : for yourselves know
that we are appointed thereunto. "
36415 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Let all things be done decently and in order.
38027 "Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the
Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus ; who was faithful to him
that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was
counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house
hath more honor than the house. For every house is builded by some man ; but he
that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a
servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after ; but Christ
as a son over his own house ; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence
and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. "
16750 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. My words
shall be of the uprightness of my heart : and my lips shall utter knowledge
clearly. The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given
me life. If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
Behold, I am according to thy wish in God�s stead :
5571 "wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be
given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan. � And Moses
said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go
to war, and shall ye sit here ? And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the
children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them ?
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 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. And the Lord�s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,
saying, 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 : save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the
Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun ; for they have wholly followed the Lord. And
the Lord�s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the
wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight
of the Lord, was consumed. 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.
For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the
wilderness ; and ye shall destroy all this people. � And they came near unto him,
and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little
ones : but we ourselves will go ready armed 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. "
38294 "Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset
us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith ; who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God. � For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet
resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation
which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening
of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : for whom the Lord loveth he
chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening,
God dealeth with you as with sons ; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth
not ? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and not sons. "
21626 "wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labor which I took
under the sun. For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and
in equity ; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his
portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. For what hath man of all his labor,
and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath labored under the sun ? For all
his days are sorrows, and his travail grief ; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the
night. This is also vanity. � There is nothing better for a man, than that he
should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor.
This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. For who can eat, or who else can
hasten hereunto, more than I ? For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight,
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 is good before God. This also is vanity
and vexation of spirit. "
21934 "whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. Thy two
breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. Until
the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh,
and to the hill of frankincense. Thou art all fair, my love ; there is no spot in
thee. Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon : look from the
top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions� dens, from the
mountains of the leopards. Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse ; thou
hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. How fair
is thy love, my sister, my spouse ! How much better is thy love than wine ! and the
smell of thine ointments than all spices ! Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the
honeycomb : honey and milk are under thy tongue ; and the smell of thy garments is
like the smell of Lebanon. A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse ; a spring
shut up, a fountain sealed. Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with
pleasant fruits ; camphire, with spikenard, spikenard and saffron ; calamus and
cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense ; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief
spices : a fountain of gardens, "
18578 "whereunto I may continually resort : thou hast given commandment to save
me ; for thou art my rock and my fortress. Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of
the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. For thou art my hope,
O Lord God : thou art my trust from my youth. 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. I am as a wonder unto many ; but thou art my strong refuge.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day. Cast me not
off in the time of old age ; forsake me not when my strength faileth. For mine
enemies speak against me ; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel
together, saying, God hath forsaken him : persecute and take him ; for there is
none to deliver him. O God, be not far from me : O my God, make haste for my help.
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul ; let them be
covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt. But I will hope continually,
and will yet praise thee more and more. My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness
and thy salvation all the day ; for I know not the numbers thereof. I will go in
the strength of the Lord God : I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of
thine only. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth : and hitherto have I declared
thy wondrous works. "
35271 "Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither
with multitude, nor with tumult. Who ought to have been here before thee, and
object, if they had aught against me. Or else let these same here say, if they have
found any evildoing in me, while I stood before the council, except it be for this
one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead
I am called in question by you this day. � And when Felix heard these things,
having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias
the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter. And he
commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should
forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him. � And after certain
days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul,
and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. And as he reasoned of righteousness,
temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this
time ; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. He hoped also that
money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him : wherefore he
sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. But after two years Porcius Festus
came into Felix� room : and Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul
bound. "

Behold, I will do a new thing ; now it shall spring forth ; shall ye not know it ?
I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of
the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls : because I give waters in the
wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This
people have I formed for myself ; they shall show forth my praise. � But thou hast
not called upon me, O Jacob ; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. Thou hast
not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings ; neither hast thou honored
me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor
wearied thee with incense. 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. � I, even I, am he that
blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Put me in remembrance : let us plead together : declare thou, that thou mayest be
justified. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against
me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to
the curse, and Israel to reproaches. "

upon the hills : therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom. �
Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith,
Destroy it not ; for a blessing is in it : so will I do for my servants� sake, that
I may not destroy them all. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of
Judah an inheritor of my mountains : and mine elect shall inherit it, and my
servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of
Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. But
ye are they that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a
table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the

repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations,

there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh ; go ye out to meet him. Then
all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the
wise, Give us of your oil ; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered,
saying, Not so ; lest there be not enough for us and you : but go ye rather to them
that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom
came ; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage : and the door was
shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he
answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore ; for ye

am my beloved�s, and my beloved is mine : he feedeth among the lilies. Thou art
beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with
banners. Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me : thy hair is as a
flock of goats that appear from Gilead : thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go
up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren
among them. As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks. There are
threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number. My dove,

for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favor have I had mercy on thee. Therefore
thy gates shall be open continually ; they shall not be shut day nor night ; that
men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be
brought. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish ; yea,
those nations shall be utterly wasted. The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee,
the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my
sanctuary ; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. The sons also 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

am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. For brass I will bring
gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron : I

down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set
a bound that they may not pass over ; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink
to every beast of the field : the wild asses quench their thirst. By them shall the
fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. He
watereth the hills from his chambers : the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy
works. 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 ; and wine that maketh glad the
heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth
man�s heart. The trees of the Lord are full of sap ; the cedars of Lebanon, which
he hath planted ; where the birds make their nests : "
36517 "who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver : in whom we trust
that he will yet deliver us ; ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for
the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many
on our behalf. "
34465 "who found favor before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of
Jacob. But Solomon built him a house. Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in
temples made with hands ; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is
my footstool : what house will ye build me ? saith the Lord : or what is the place
of my rest ? Hath not my hand made all these things ? � Ye stiffnecked and
uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost : as your
fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted ?
and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One ; of
whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers : who have received the law by
the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. "
36219 "Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges ? who planteth a vineyard,
and eateth not of the fruit thereof ? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the
milk of the flock ? � Say I these things as a man ? or saith not the law the same
also ? For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of
the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen ? or saith he it
altogether for our sakes ? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written : that he that
ploweth should plow in hope ; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker
of his hope. If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we
shall reap your carnal things ? If others be partakers of this power over you, are
not we rather ? � Nevertheless we have not used this power ; but suffer all things,
lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. Do ye not know that they which minister
about holy things live of the things of the temple ? and they which wait at the
altar are partakers with the altar ? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which
preach the gospel should live of the gospel. � But I have used none of these
things : neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me :
for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of : for necessity is laid
upon me ; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel ! For if I do this thing
willingly, I have a reward : but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel
is committed unto me. What is my reward then ? Verily that, when I preach the
gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power
in the gospel. � For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant
unto all, that I might gain the more. "
23433 Who hath believed our report ? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed ?
21757 "Who is as the wise man ? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing ? a
man�s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be
changed. � I counsel thee to keep the king�s commandment, and that in regard of the
oath of God. Be not hasty to go out of his sight : stand not in an evil thing ; for
he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. Where the word of a king is, there is power : and
who may say unto him, What doest thou ? Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no
evil thing : and a wise man�s heart discerneth both time and judgment. Because to
every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon
him. For he knoweth not that which shall be : for who can tell him when it shall be
? There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit ; neither
hath he power in the day of death : and there is no discharge in that war ; neither
shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. 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 ruleth over another to his own hurt. "
16289 "who is he that will strike hands with me ? For thou hast hid their heart
from understanding : therefore shalt thou not exalt them. He that speaketh flattery
to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. He hath made me also a
byword of the people ; and aforetime I was as a tabret. Mine eye also is dim by
reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. Upright men shall be
astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be
stronger and stronger. But as for you all, do ye return, and come now : for I
cannot find one wise man among you. My days are past, my purposes are broken off,
even the thoughts of my heart. They change the night into day : the light is short
because of darkness. If I wait, the grave is mine house : I have made my bed in the
darkness. I have said to corruption, Thou art my father : to the worm, Thou art my
mother, and my sister. And where is now my hope ? As for my hope, who shall see
it ? They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the
dust. "
30036 Who Is the Greatest ?
23648 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah ? this that
is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength ? I that
speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel,
and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat ?
21911 "Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant ? Behold his
bed, which is Solomon�s ; "
22016 "Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved ? I
raised thee up under the apple tree : there thy mother brought thee forth ; there
she brought thee forth that bare thee. 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
coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. Many waters
cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it : if a man would give all the
substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. 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 ? If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of
silver : and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar. I am a
wall, and my breasts like towers : then was I in his eyes as one that found favor.
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. My vineyard,
which is mine, is before me : thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that
keep the fruit thereof two hundred. Thou that dwellest in the gardens, "
18627 who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever :
and let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen, and Amen. The prayers of
David the son of Jesse are ended.
18647 "who prosper in the world ; they increase in riches. Verily I have cleansed
my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. For all the day long have I
been plagued, and chastened every morning. If I say, I will speak thus ; behold, I
should offend against the generation of thy children. When I thought to know this,
it was too painful for me ; until I went into the sanctuary of God ; then
understood I their end. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places : thou
castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a
moment ! They are utterly consumed with terrors. As a dream when one awaketh ; so,
O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. Thus my heart was
grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish was I, and ignorant : I was as a
beast before thee. Nevertheless I am continually with thee : thou hast holden me by
my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to
glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee ? And there is none upon earth that I desire
besides thee. My flesh and my heart faileth : but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish : thou
hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. But it is good for me to draw
near to God : "
37664 "who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the
truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus ; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I
am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not,)
a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. � I will therefore that men pray
every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In like manner
also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and
sobriety ; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array ; but (which
becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in
silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp
authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and
charity and holiness with sobriety. "
24094 "Who would not fear thee, O King of nations ? for to thee doth it appertain :
forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms,
there is none like unto thee. But they are altogether brutish and foolish : the
stock is a doctrine of vanities. Silver spread into plates is brought from
Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the
founder : blue and purple is their clothing : they are all the work of cunning men.
But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting King : at
his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his
indignation. � Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens
and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
� He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom,
and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. When he uttereth his voice,
there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend
from the ends of the earth ; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the
wind out of his treasures. Every man is brutish in his knowledge : every founder is
confounded by the graven image : for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no
breath in them. They are vanity, and the work of errors : in the time of their
visitation they shall perish. The portion of Jacob is not like them : for he is the
former of all things ; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance : The Lord of hosts
is his name. "
22988 "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. By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the
multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides
of Lebanon ; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees
thereof : and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his
Carmel. I have digged, and drunk water ; and with the sole of my feet have I dried
up all the rivers of the besieged places. � Hast thou not heard long ago, how I
have done it ; and of ancient times, that I have formed it ? now have I brought it
to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defensed cities into ruinous heaps.
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. But I know thy
abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. Because thy
rage against me, and thy tumult, 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. � And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year
such as groweth of itself ; and the second year that which springeth of the same :
and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit
thereof. And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take
root downward, and bear fruit upward : for out of Jerusalem shall go forth a
remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion : the zeal of the Lord of hosts
shall do this. � Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He
shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with
shields, nor cast a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he
return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord. "
37966 "whom I have sent again : thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own
bowels : whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have
ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel : but without thy mind would I do
nothing ; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. �
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for
ever ; not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to
me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord ? If thou count
me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. If he hath wronged thee, or oweth
thee aught, put that on mine account ; I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I
will repay it : albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own
self besides. Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord : refresh my bowels
in the Lord. � Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that
thou wilt also do more than I say. But withal prepare me also a lodging : for I
trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. "
29643 Whom to Fear
32328 Whom to Fear
29300 "whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather
his wheat into the garner ; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. "
31738 "whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will
gather the wheat into his garner ; but the chaff he will burn with fire
unquenchable. � And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the
people. But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother
Philip�s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, added yet this above
all, that he shut up John in prison. "
21397 "Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be showed before the
whole congregation. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein : and he that rolleth a
stone, it will return upon him. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by
it ; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. "
20864 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge : but he that hateth reproof is
brutish. A good man obtaineth favor of the Lord : but a man of wicked devices will
he condemn. A man shall not be established by wickedness : but the root of the
righteous shall not be moved. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband : but she
that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. The thoughts of the righteous
are right : but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. The words of the wicked are
to lie in wait for blood : but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. The
wicked are overthrown, and are not : but the house of the righteous shall stand. A
man shall be commended according to his wisdom : but he that is of a perverse heart
shall be despised. He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that
honoreth himself, and lacketh bread. A righteous man regardeth the life of his
beast : but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. He that tilleth his land
shall be satisfied with bread : but he that followeth vain persons is void of
understanding. The wicked desireth the net of evil men : but the root of the
righteous yieldeth fruit. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips :
but the just shall come out of trouble. A man shall be satisfied with good by the
fruit of his mouth : and the recompense of a man�s hands shall be rendered unto
him. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes : but he that hearkeneth unto
counsel is wise. A fool�s wrath is presently known : but a prudent man covereth
shame. He that speaketh truth showeth forth righteousness :
19299 "Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off : him that hath a
high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful
of the land, that they may dwell with me : he that walketh in a perfect way, he
shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house : he that
telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of
the land ; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord. "
38839 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God : and every one
that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
11273 whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the
high places. 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.
18180 "Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man ? The goodness of God
endureth continually. Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs ; like a sharp razor, working
deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good ; and lying rather than to speak
righteousness. "
15866 "Why did the knees prevent me ? Or why the breasts that I should suck ? For
now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept : then had I been
at rest, with kings and counselors of the earth, which built desolate places for
themselves ; or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver :
or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been ; as infants which never saw light.
There the wicked cease from troubling ; and there the weary be at rest. There the
prisoners rest together ; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. The small and
great are there ; and the servant is free from his master. Wherefore is light given
to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul ; which long for death,
but it cometh not ; and dig for it more than for hid treasures ; which rejoice
exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave ? Why is light given to a
man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in ? For my sighing cometh before I
eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly
feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not
in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet ; yet trouble came. "
17110 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing ? The kings of
the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord,
and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away
their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh :
29912 "Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders ? for they wash
not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye
also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition ? For God commanded,
saying, Honor thy father and mother : and, He that curseth father or mother, let
him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It
is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me ; and honor not his father
or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none
effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their
lips ; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men. � And he called the multitude, and said unto
them, Hear, and understand : Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man ;
but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Then came his
disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after
they heard this saying ? But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone : they be blind leaders
of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. And Jesus
said, Are ye also yet without understanding ? Do not ye yet understand, that
whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the
draught ? "
17982 "Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ? As with a sword
in my bones, mine enemies reproach me ; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy
God ? 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. "
17260 "Why standest thou afar off, O Lord ? Why hidest thou thyself in times of
trouble ? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor : let them be taken in
the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart�s desire,
and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride
of his countenance, will not seek after God : God is not in all his thoughts. His
ways are always grievous ; thy judgments are far above out of his sight : as for
all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be
moved : for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit
and fraud : under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He sitteth in the lurking
places of the villages : in the secret places doth he murder the innocent : his
eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his
den : he lieth in wait to catch the poor : he doth catch the poor, when he draweth
him into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his
strong ones. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten : he hideth his face ;
he will never see it. Arise, O Lord ; O God, lift up thine hand : forget not the
humble. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God ? He hath said in his heart, Thou
wilt not require it. Thou hast seen it ; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, "
10772 "Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I
have charged thee with ? 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 : and king
Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the
Lord for ever. So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ; which went out,
and fell upon him, that he died. � And the kingdom was established in the hand of
Solomon. "
18681 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand ? Pluck it out of thy
bosom. For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. Thou
didst divide the sea by thy strength : thou brakest the heads of the dragons in
the waters. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be
meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. Thou didst cleave the fountain and
the flood : thou driedst up mighty rivers. The day is thine, the night also is
thine : thou hast prepared the light and the sun. Thou hast set all the borders of
the earth : thou hast made summer and winter. Remember this, that the enemy hath
reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. O deliver
not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked : forget not the
congregation of thy poor for ever. Have respect unto the covenant : for the dark
places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. O let not the oppressed
return ashamed : let the poor and needy praise thy name. Arise, O God, plead thine
own cause : remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. Forget not the
voice of thine enemies : the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth
continually.
16495 "Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him
not see his days ? Some remove the landmarks ; they violently take away flocks, and
feed thereof. They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow�s ox
for a pledge. They turn the needy out of the way : the poor of the earth hide
themselves together. Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their
work ; rising betimes for a prey : the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for
their children. They reap every one his corn in the field : and they gather the
vintage of the wicked. They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they
have no covering in the cold. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and
embrace the rock for want of a shelter. They pluck the fatherless from the breast,
and take a pledge of the poor. They cause him to go naked without clothing, and
they take away the sheaf from the hungry ; which make oil within their walls, and
tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. Men groan from out of the city, and the
soul of the wounded crieth out : yet God layeth not folly to them. "
24154 "wicked prosper ? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously ?
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. But thou, O
Lord, knowest me : thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee : pull them
out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. How
long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness
of them that dwell therein ? the beasts are consumed, and the birds ; because they
said, He shall not see our last end. � If thou hast run with the footmen, and they
have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses ? and if in the land of
peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the
swelling of Jordan ? For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they
have dealt treacherously with thee ; yea, they have called a multitude after thee :
believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. � I have forsaken mine
house, I have left mine heritage ; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into
the hand of her enemies. Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest ; it
crieth out against me : therefore have I hated it. Mine heritage is unto me as a
speckled bird, the birds round about are against her ; come ye, assemble all the
beasts of the field, come to devour. Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they
have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate
wilderness. They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me ;
the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. "
4935 "will cause him to come near unto him : even him whom he hath chosen will he
cause to come near unto him. This do ; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company
; and put fire therein, and put incense in 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. And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye
sons of Levi : 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 ? And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the
sons of Levi with thee : and seek ye the priesthood also ? For which cause both
thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord : and what is
Aaron, that ye murmur against him ? � And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the
sons of Eliab ; which said, We will not come up : is it a small thing that thou
hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in
the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us ? Moreover,
thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us
inheritance of fields and vineyards : wilt thou put out the eyes of these men ? we
will not come up. � 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. And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the Lord,
thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow : and take every man his censer, and put
incense in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and
fifty censers ; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer. And they took every
man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. "
16563 "Will he delight himself in the Almighty ? Will he always call upon God ? I
will teach you by the hand of God : that which is with the Almighty will I not
conceal. Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it ; why then are ye thus altogether
vain ? This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of
oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. If his children be
multiplied, it is for the sword : and his offspring shall not be satisfied with
bread. Those that remain of him shall be buried in death : and his widows shall not
weep. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay ; he
may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the
silver. He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. The
rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered : he openeth his eyes, and he
is not. Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the
night. The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth : and as a storm hurleth
him out of his place. For God shall cast upon him, and not spare : he would fain
flee out of his hand. Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of
his place. "
13926 "will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword
among all nations. And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every
one that passeth by it ; so that he shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto
this land, and unto this house ? And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the
Lord 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. "
14512 will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of
him, and of all Israel. 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. And in
every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods,
and provoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers. Now the rest of his acts and of
all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of
Judah and Israel. And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city,
even in Jerusalem : but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of
Israel : and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
19589 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off ? And wilt not thou, O God, go
forth with our hosts ? Give us help from trouble : for vain is the help of man.
Through God we shall do valiantly : for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
18970 "Wilt thou be angry with us for ever ? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all
generations ? Wilt thou not revive us again : that thy people may rejoice in thee ?
Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation. I will hear what God the
Lord will speak : for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints : but
let them not turn again to folly. Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him ;
that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together ; righteousness
and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth ; and
righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the Lord shall give that which is
good ; and our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before him ;
and shall set us in the way of his steps. "
21139 "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging : and whosoever is deceived thereby
is not wise. The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion : whoso provoketh him
to anger sinneth against his own soul. It is an honor for a man to cease from
strife : but every fool will be meddling. The sluggard will not plow by reason of
the cold ; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing. Counsel in the
heart of man is like deep water ; but a man of understanding will draw it out. Most
men will proclaim every one his own goodness : but a faithful man who can find ?
The just man walketh in his integrity : his children are blessed after him. A king
that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes. Who
can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin ? "

38125 "without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of
days, nor end of life ; but made like unto the Son of God ; abideth a priest
continually. � Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch
Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. And verily they that are of the sons of Levi,
who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the
people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of
the loins of Abraham : but he whose descent is not counted from them received
tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. And without all
contradiction the less is blessed of the better. And here men that die receive
tithes ; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. And
as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. For he
was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him. � If therefore
perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the
law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order
of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron ? For the priesthood
being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. For he of whom
these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave
attendance at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah ; of
which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. � And it is yet far more
evident : for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another
priest, who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power
of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
of Melchizedek. "

saith the Lord. Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors
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. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have
driven them, and will bring them again to their folds ; and they shall be fruitful
and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them : and
they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the
Lord. � Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a
righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment
and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell
safely : and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord our
Righteousness. � Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall
no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the
land of Egypt ; "
28555 "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 desired the
first ripe fruit. The good 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. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince
asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward ; and the great man, he uttereth his
mischievous desire : so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier : the most
upright is sharper than a thorn hedge : the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation
cometh ; now shall be their perplexity. 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. For the son dishonoreth 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. Therefore I will look unto the Lord ; I will wait for the God of
my salvation : my God will hear me. "

about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against
thee. 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. �
Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude

28774 "Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city ! She obeyed
not the voice ; she received not correction ; she trusted not in the Lord ; she
drew not near to her God. Her princes within her are roaring lions ; her judges are
evening wolves ; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her prophets are light
and treacherous persons : her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done
violence to the law. The just Lord is in the midst thereof ; he will not do
iniquity : every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not ; but
the unjust knoweth no shame. � I have cut off the nations : their towers are
desolate ; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by : their cities are
destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant. I said, Surely,
thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction ; so their dwelling should not be
cut off, howsoever I punished them : but they rose early, and corrupted all their
doings. � Therefore wait ye upon 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. � For then will I

Lord, to serve him with one consent. "

beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that
are overcome with wine ! Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a
tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing,
shall cast down to the earth with the hand. The crown of pride, the drunkards of
Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet : and the glorious beauty, which is on the
head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the
summer ; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he
eateth it up. � 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, and for a spirit of
judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the
battle to the gate. � But they also have erred through wine, and through strong
drink are out of the way ; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong
drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong
drink ; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of
vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. � Whom shall he teach
knowledge ? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine ? them that are weaned

little. � For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

people terrible from their beginning hitherto ; a nation meted out and trodden

strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of
Egypt ! "

up of thyself the nations were scattered. And your spoil shall be gathered like the
gathering of the caterpillar : as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run

they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. Therefore thus saith
the Lord ; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not
remove your necks ; neither shall ye go haughtily : for this time is evil. In that
day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation,
and say, We be utterly spoiled : he hath changed the portion of my people : how
hath he removed it from me ! turning away he hath divided our fields. Therefore
thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the Lord.

Abel unto the blood of Zechariah, which perished between the altar and the temple :

something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. "

young dromedaries : 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, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey, upon

commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that
the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. So

Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white,
and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple : and
the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad. The Jews had light, and gladness, and
joy, and honor. And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king�s
commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, "

wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited. 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. And many nations shall pass by this city, and
they shall say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto
this great city ? Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant

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. � For thus saith the Lord
touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah

: seven days it shall be with his dam ; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. �
And ye shall be holy men unto me : neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of
beasts in the fields ; ye shall cast it to the dogs. "
33452 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me : and where I am, thither ye cannot
come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not
find him ? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles [Greeks], and teach the
Gentiles [Greeks] ? What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me,
and shall not find me : and where I am, thither ye cannot come ?
6218 "Ye shall utterly 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 : and ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars,
and burn their groves with fire ; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their
gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. Ye shall not do so unto the
Lord your God. 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 : and thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your
sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and
your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks : 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. Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man
whatsoever is right in his own eyes. For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to
the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you. But when ye go over Jordan,
and dwell in the land which the Lord your God giveth you to inherit, and when he
giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety ;
then there shall be a 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 : 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 part nor inheritance with you. "
19250 "Ye that love the Lord, hate evil : he preserveth the souls of his saints ;
he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous ; and give
thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. "
19336 "yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment ; as a vesture shalt thou
change them, and they shall be changed : but thou art the same, and thy years shall
have no end. The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be
established before thee. "
36433 "Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God ; because we have testified of
God that he raised up Christ : whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise
not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised : and if Christ be not
raised, your faith is vain ; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are
fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ,
we are of all men most miserable. � But now is Christ risen from the dead, and
become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came
also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall
all be made alive. But every man in his own order : Christ the firstfruits ;
afterward they that are Christ�s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall
have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father ; when he shall have put down
all rule, and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all
enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he
hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put under
him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And
when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be
subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. � Else
what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all ?
why are they then baptized for the dead ? and why stand we in jeopardy every hour ?
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If
after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it
me, if the dead rise not ? let us eat and drink ; for tomorrow we die. Be not
deceived : evil communications corrupt good manners. "
29137 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness 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 the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of
hosts.
21522 "yea, four which I know not : the way of an eagle in the air ; the way of a
serpent upon a rock ; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea ; and the way of a
man with a maid. Such is the way of an adulterous woman ; she eateth, and wipeth
her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. For three things the earth is
disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear : for a servant when he reigneth ;
and a fool when he is filled with meat ; for an odious woman when she is married ;
and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress. There be four things which are little
upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise : the ants are a people not strong, yet
they prepare their meat in the summer ; the conies are but a feeble folk, yet make
they their houses in the rocks ; the locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of
them by bands ; the spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings� palaces.
There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going : a lion, which
is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any ; a greyhound ; a he goat
also ; and a king, against whom there is no rising up. If thou hast done foolishly
in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose
bringeth forth blood : "
22393 "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. 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. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we ?
art thou become like unto us ? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise
of thy viols : the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. � How art
thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning ! how art thou cut down to
the ground, which didst weaken the nations ! For thou hast said in thine heart, I
will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God : I will sit
also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north : I will ascend
above the heights of the clouds ; I will be like the Most High. Yet thou shalt be
brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly
look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to
tremble, that did shake kingdoms ; that made the world as a wilderness, and
destroyed the cities thereof ; that opened not the house of his prisoners ? All the
kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of
those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of
the pit ; as a carcass trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in
burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people : the seed of
evildoers shall never be renowned. � Prepare slaughter for his children for the
iniquity of their fathers ; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill
the face of the world with cities. "
16234 "yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. How much more abominable and
filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water ? I will show thee, hear me ; and
that which I have seen I will declare ; which wise men have told from their
fathers, and have not hid it : unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger
passed among them. The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number
of years is hidden to the oppressor. A dreadful sound is in his ears : in
prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. He believeth not that he shall return
out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. He wandereth abroad for bread,
saying, Where is it ? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid ; they shall prevail against him, as a
king ready to the battle. For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and
strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. He runneth upon him, even on his neck,
upon the thick bosses of his bucklers : because he covereth his face with his
fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks. And he dwelleth in desolate
cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps. He
shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong
the perfection thereof upon the earth. 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.
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity : for vanity shall be his recompense.
"
21987 "yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. Who is she that
looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as
an army with banners ? I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the
valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded. Or
ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib. Return, return, O
Shulamite ; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the
Shulamite ? As it were the company of two armies. "
26732 "Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie
with them that are slain with the sword. � There is Edom, her kings, and all her
princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword :
they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit. �
There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are
gone down with the slain ; with their terror they are ashamed of their might ; and
they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame
with them that go down to the pit. � 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. For I have caused my terror in the land of the living : and he shall be
laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword,
even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. "
11978 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah
revolted at the same time. 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 ? 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.
16858 "yet he knoweth it not in great extremity : therefore doth Job open his mouth
in vain ; he multiplieth words without knowledge. "
8426 "Yet he restored the money unto his mother ; and his mother took two hundred
shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image
and a molten image : and they were in the house of Micah. And the man Micah had a
house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons,
who became his priest. In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did
that which was right in his own eyes. � And there was a young man out of Beth-
lehem-judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. And
the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah to sojourn where he could
find a place : and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
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. And Micah said
unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee
ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the
Levite went in. And the Levite was content to dwell with the man ; and the young
man was unto him as one of his sons. And Micah consecrated the Levite ; and the
young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. Then said Micah, Now
know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. "
14392 "Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the Lord ; and they
testified against them : but they would not give ear. � And the Spirit of God came
upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which 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. 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. 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. � And it came to pass
at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him : and they came
to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the
people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus. For the army of
the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the Lord delivered a very great
host into their hand, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So
they executed judgment against Joash. � 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. And these are they that conspired against him ; Zabad the son of
Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess. Now
concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the
repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of
the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. "
11544 "yet 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. � 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. And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor
consent. 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. 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. And the
king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness
boast himself as he that putteth it off. 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. � And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel,
saying, 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.
And Ahab said, By whom ? And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Even by the young men of
the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle ? And he
answered, Thou. Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and
they were two hundred and thirty-two : and after them he numbered all the people,
even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand. "
38943 "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about
the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The
Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of those things which they know not : but
what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
Woe unto them ! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the
error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah. These are
spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves
without fear : clouds they are without water, carried about of winds ; trees whose
fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots ; raging waves
of the sea, foaming out their own shame ; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the
blackness of darkness for ever. � And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied
of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to
execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all
their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard
speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers,
complainers, walking after their own lusts ; and their mouth speaketh great
swelling words, having men�s persons in admiration because of advantage. "
23184 "Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant ; and Israel, whom I have chosen : "
16012 "yet thy latter end should greatly increase. For inquire, I pray thee, of the
former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers : (for we are but of
yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow.) Shall not
they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart ? Can the rush
grow up without mire ? Can the flag grow without water ? Whilst it is yet in his
greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. So are the paths
of all that forget God ; and the hypocrite�s hope shall perish : whose hope shall
be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider�s web. He shall lean upon his house,
but it shall not stand : he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. He is
green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. His roots are
wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones. If he destroy him from his
place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee. Behold, this is the
joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. Behold, God will not cast
away a perfect man, neither will he help the evildoers : till he fill thy mouth
with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. They that hate thee shall be clothed
with shame ; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. "
1267 "yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee
unto thy place ; and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh�s cup into his hand, after the
former manner when thou wast his butler. But think on me when it shall be well with
thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh,
and bring me out of this house : 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. � When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto
Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head :
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. And Joseph answered and
said, This is the interpretation thereof : The three baskets are three days : yet
within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee
on a tree ; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. � 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 of the chief baker
among his servants. And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again ;
and he gave the cup into Pharaoh�s hand : but he hanged the chief baker : as Joseph
had interpreted to them. Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat
him. "

25480 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. And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord,
according to all that Jehoiakim had done. For through the anger of the Lord it came
to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

22077 Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he
shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people : and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks : nation shall
not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
