Translation Methodology.
Harmonisation: identical direct quotes, idioms and phrases must be translated identical (the same word-order, punctuation and no synonyms).
The translation must be so literal as possible without using wooden English and in respect with the Poetic Layout.
Transliterated words must left transliterated.
The base Text must be cleaned from any doctrinal bias or interpolation.
Spelling and archaic language are updated;
but the Thou, Thee, Thy and ye stays in the Text and the thine is replaced by Thy.
"Thou, Thee, and Thy" are the second person singular;
"ye, you, your, and yours" are the second person plural.
"Shall" is only used as future tense.
The "Hell" words are Sheol(Hades), Gehenna and Tartarus.
Nephesh or psyche is translated as soul.
LEGEND.
{ } interpretation, footnote and context-titles
< > bold are hints for Bible study and the first words of alphabetic verses.

The Restored Holy Bible is my attempt to restore the preserved Bible text in English and to deal with irregularities.
It is also optimised for preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God over the World and it is the most harmonised English Bible ever.
I restored the alphabetic order of the 12 acrostic works ( Psa 25 Psa 34 Psa 37 Psa 111 Psa 112 Psa 119 Psa 145 Pro 31 Lam 1 Lam 2 Lam 3 Lam 4).
This is a Gift for the Church of God and free for all.
Before I started this translation did I for one year research in translation errors, sources and the commentary of their defenders.
I compared every English and Dutch translation that I found on Internet.
And I was annoyed because the text was changed to support doctrines instead of doctrines based on the Holy Text.
No matter what Thou think is there only one Ultimate Truth.
If Thou accept that the Original Bible source is without error then must Thou also accept that every manuscript of the New Testament that has Isaiah in verse Mar 1:2 is corrupt.
(It is a quote of the prophet Malachi and therefore an error).
Based on those verses ( Mar 1:2 Mat 10:10 Mat 17:20 Luk 2:22 Luk 7:35 Mar 6:22) was the 1894 Scrivener Textus Receptus (without the Comma Johanneum) the only text without errors.
The New Testament is based on the Restored Textus Receptus beta.
For the Old Testament is the problem even harder because none of the available text canons is without error. (See the copyist error in 2Sa 21:19).
The other near identical verse has preserved the Text.
Basically is the MT text the closed variant of the Original Text.
In order to restore the Original Text must I combine the info found in other sources and correct every copyist error in the MT.
For example: The lost letter "Nun" verse in Psa 145:13 is preserved thanks the Syriac, LXX, Vulgate and DSS, but lost in every MT manuscript.
I used the DSS version for the Nun.
The NT quotes are from an older source than the MT and LXX. I fused the NT citations into the MT text in order to restore the Original Text.
GOD and LORD (with capitals) in the NT are only based on quote info from the Old Testament. (The God names are different in the Greek text).
I am aware of the symbolic keywords and used KJC and Strong for more keyword priority in the translation.
The Restored Holy Bible is a heavy edited update of the Webster Bible, I updated language, reduced the spell variants of names, corrected plural errors,
I used KJC and Strong in combination with the Statenvertaling and other literal translations.
For the sake of harmonisation. I was very critical in correction of the irregularities. I restored the old measures, money and the count system;
(see the keywords thousand and myriad. Num 31:43 Jon 4:11 Dan 7:10).
Revelation has no cross-references for this reason: Rev 22:18-19 but Thou can type Rev in the search bar.
The word Amen (H543 G281) means "truly, agree or ending" it was NOT translated in any of the sources.
This word is in the begin of a verse is a warning of Jesus and on the end an agreement or ending of a prayer.
The shofar (H7782) is another blow instrument than the trumpet (H2689 H8619).
But they are related with the Holy Days and the return of Christ as King of the World in the Messianic Age (the Kingdom of God).
For the Final Version need I support from the new John the Baptist who shall restore the Church of God and unite the Saints.
From the moment that there is a Peace Covenant in Jerusalem with the European "prince" restarts the last year-week of Daniel.
It means that the Saints have then three and a half years to preach the Gospel over the World and to flee to the Place of Safety. Mat 24:7-20 Rev 12:13-17 Dan 11:40-43

Gen 1:1 [Scroll 01 Genesis].
        {Creation}.
        In [the] beginning GOD created the Heavens and the Earth.
Gen 1:2 And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the Abyss.
        And the Spirit of GOD was hovering upon the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3 And GOD said, Let there be Light! And there was Light.
Gen 1:4 And GOD saw the Light, that [it was] good. And GOD divided between the Light and the darkness.
Gen 1:5 And GOD called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.
        And it was evening and it was morning, [the] first day.

Gen 1:6 And GOD said, Let there be a expanse in the middle of the waters,
        and let it divide between waters and waters!
Gen 1:7 And GOD made the expanse; and divided between the waters which [were] under the expanse,
        from the waters which [were] above the expanse.
        And it was so.
Gen 1:8 And GOD called the expanse Heavens.
        And it was evening and it was morning, [the] second day.

Gen 1:9 And GOD said, Let the waters under the Heavens be gathered into one place, and let appear the dry!
        And it was so.
Gen 1:10 And GOD called the dry Land, and the collection of waters He called Seas.
        And GOD saw that [it was] good.
Gen 1:11 And GOD said, Let the Earth sprout sprouts, the herb seeding seed, [and] the fruit-tree yielding fruit after its kind,
        whose seed [is] in itself, upon the Earth!
        And it was so.
Gen 1:12 And the Earth brought forth grass, herb seeding seed after its kind and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after its kind.
        And GOD saw that [it was] good.
Gen 1:13 And it was evening and it was morning, [the] third day.

Gen 1:14 And GOD said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the Heavens,
        to divide between the day and between the night: and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the expanse of the Heavens, to give light upon the Earth!
        And it was so.
Gen 1:16 And GOD made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and also the stars.
Gen 1:17 And GOD set them in the expanse of the Heavens, to give light upon the Earth.
Gen 1:18 And to rule over the day, and over the night, and to divide between the Light and between the darkness.
        And GOD saw that [it was] good.
Gen 1:19 And it was evening and it was morning, [the] fourth day.

Gen 1:20 And GOD said, Let the waters swarm with swarmers [having] a living soul,
        and fowl [that] may fly upon the Earth in the open expanse of Heavens!
Gen 1:21 And GOD created great monsters, and every living soul that moves,
        which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind.
        And GOD saw that [it was] good.
Gen 1:22 And GOD blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the Earth.
Gen 1:23 And it was evening and it was morning, [the] fifth day.

Gen 1:24 And GOD said, Let the Earth bring forth the living soul after its kind,
        cattle, and the creeping thing, and the animal of the earth after its kind!
        And it was so.
Gen 1:25 And GOD made the animal of the earth after its kind, and cattle after their kind,
        and every creeping thing upon the ground after its kind.
        And GOD saw that [it was] good.
Gen 1:26 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 creeps upon the Earth!
Gen 1:27 And GOD created man in His [Own] image, in the image of GOD created He him;
        male and female created He them.
Gen 1:28 And GOD blessed them, and GOD said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the Earth,
        and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
        and over every living animal that creeps upon the Earth!
Gen 1:29 And GOD said, Behold, I have given you every herb seeding seed, which [is] upon the face of all the Earth,
        and every tree, in which [is] the fruit of a tree seeding seed; to you it shall be for food;
Gen 1:30 And to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every creeping thing upon the Earth,
        in which [is] a living soul, [I have given] every green herb for food!
        And it was so.
Gen 1:31 And GOD saw everything that He had made, and behold, [it was] very good.
        And it was evening and it was morning, [the] sixth day.

Gen 2:1 And the Heavens and the Earth were finished, and all the army of them.
Gen 2:2 And GOD ended in the seventh day His work which He had made;
        and He rested in the seventh day from all His works which He had made. [Heb 4:4]
Gen 2:3 And GOD blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
        because in it He had rested from all His work which GOD in creating had made.

Gen 2:4 These [are] the generations of the Heavens and of the Earth when they were created,
        in the day{time} that the LORD GOD made the Earth and the Heavens.
Gen 2:5 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] no man{hAdam} to till the ground{hAdamah};
Gen 2:6 but there went up a mist from the Earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD GOD formed man{hAdam} of the dust of the Earth{hAdamah},
        and breathed into his nostrils the Spirit of life;
        and man{hAdam} became a living soul. [1Co 15:45]
Gen 2:8 {Garden of Eden}.
        And the LORD GOD planted a Garden{Paradise} eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.
Gen 2:9 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 middle of the Garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. [Rev 2:7]
Gen 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the Garden: and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Gen 2:11
        The name of the first [is] Pison, which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold.
Gen 2:12 And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the beryl stone.
Gen 2:13 And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same that surrounds the whole land of Cush.
Gen 2:14 And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: which flows eastward of Assyria.
        And the fourth river [is] Euphrates.
Gen 2:15
        And the LORD GOD took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden,
        to dress it, and to keep it.
Gen 2:16 And the LORD GOD commanded the man,
        saying, Of every tree of the Garden Thou may freely eat:
Gen 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Thou shall not eat of it:
        for in the day that Thou eat of it Thou dying the death!
Gen 2:18 And the LORD GOD said,
        [It is] not good that the man should be alone: I shall make him a help meet for him!
Gen 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD GOD forms every animal of the field, and every fowl of the air,
        and brought [them] to Adam to see what he would call them;
        and whatsoever Adam called every living soul, that [was] its name.
Gen 2:20 And Adam named names to all cattle, and to the fowls of the air, and to every animal of the field.
        But for Adam there was not found a help meet for him.
Gen 2:21 And the LORD GOD caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,
        and he slept; and He took one of his ribs,
        and closed up the flesh in its place.
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD GOD had taken from man,
        He build woman, and brought her to the man.
Gen 2:23 And the man{hAdam} said,
        This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
        she shall be called woman{Ishah}, because she was taken out of man{Ish}!
Gen 2:24 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife,
        and they two shall be one flesh. [Mat 19:5 Eph 5:31]
Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man{hAdam} and his wife,
        and were not ashamed.
Gen 3:1
        Now the serpent was more crafty than any animal of the field,
        which LORD GOD had made: and he said to the woman,
        but has GOD really said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the Garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the Garden:
Gen 3:3 but of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the middle of the Garden,
        GOD said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not dying the death:
Gen 3:5 for GOD does know, that in the day ye eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened:
        and ye shall be as GOD, knowing good and evil.
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes,
        and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise; she took of its fruit, and ate,
        and gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened,
        and they knew that they [were] naked:
        and they sewed fig-leaves together,
        and made for themselves girdles{aprons}.
Gen 3:8
        And they heard the voice of the LORD GOD walking in the Garden,
        at the wind of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves,
        from the presence of the LORD GOD among the trees of the Garden.
Gen 3:9 And the LORD GOD called to Adam, and said to him, Where [are] Thou?
Gen 3:10 And he said, I heard Thy voice in the Garden: and I was afraid,
        because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.
Gen 3:11 And He said, Who told Thee that Thou [were] naked?
        Have Thou eaten of the tree of which I commanded Thee, that Thou should not eat?
Gen 3:12 And the man{hAdam} said,
        The woman, whom Thou gave [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
Gen 3:13 And the LORD GOD said to the woman, What [is] this [that] Thou have done?
        And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I ate.
Gen 3:14 And the LORD GOD said to the serpent, Because Thou have done this,
        Thou [are] cursed above all cattle, and above every animal of the field:
        upon Thy belly shall Thou go, and dust shall Thou eat all the days of Thy life!
Gen 3:15
        And I shall put enmity between Thee and the <woman>,
        between Thy seed and <her seed>:
        He shall bruise Thy <head>, and Thou shall bruise His <heel>.
        [Rev 12:1-6 Hab 3:13 Gen 25:26]
Gen 3:16
        To the woman He said,
        I shall greatly multiply Thy sorrow and Thy conception;
        in sorrow Thou shall bring forth sons: and Thy desire [shall be] to Thy husband,
        and he shall rule over Thee!
Gen 3:17
        And to Adam He said, Because Thou have listened to the voice of Thy wife,
        and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded Thee,
        saying, Thou shall not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground,
        for Thy sake; in sorrow shall Thou eat of it all the days of Thy life;
Gen 3:18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to Thee;
        and Thou shall eat the herb of the field;
Gen 3:19 in the sweat of Thy face shall Thou eat bread,
        until Thou shall return to the ground; for out of it were Thou taken:
        for dust Thou [are], and to dust shall Thou return!
Gen 3:20
        And Adam called his wife's name Eve,
        because she was the mother of all living.
Gen 3:21 And the LORD GOD made coats of skins,
        for Adam also and for his wife and clothed them.

Gen 3:22 And the LORD GOD said, Behold, the man has become as One of Us, to know good and evil;
        and now, lest he should put forth his hand, and take also of the Tree of Life,
        and eat, and live forever!
Gen 3:23 Therefore the LORD GOD sent him forth from the Garden of Eden,
        to till the ground from which He was taken.
Gen 3:24 So He drove out the man: and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim,
        and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the Tree of Life.
Gen 4:1 {Cain and Abel}.
        And Adam knew{intercourse} Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain,
        and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Gen 4:2 And she again bore his brother Abel.
        And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Gen 4:3 And it came to pass at process of time, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the LORD.
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock, and their fat the LORD had respect to Abel, and to his offering:
Gen 4:5 but to Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Gen 4:6 And the LORD said to Cain, Why are Thou wroth? And why is Thy countenance fallen?
Gen 4:7 If Thou do well, shall Thou not be accepted? And if Thou do not well, sin lies at the door.
        And to Thee [shall be] his desire, and Thou shall rule over him.
Gen 4:8 And Cain said to Abel his brother: Let us go out into the field;
        and it came to pass, when they were in the field,
        that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Gen 4:9
        And the LORD said to Cain, Where [is] Abel Thy brother?
        And he said, I know not: [am] I the keeper of my brother?
Gen 4:10 And He said, What have Thou done? The voice of Thy brother's blood cries to me from the ground.
Gen 4:11 And now [are] Thou cursed from the Earth,
        which has opened her mouth to receive Thy brother's blood from Thy hand;
Gen 4:12 when Thou till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to Thee its strength:
        a fugitive and a vagabond shall Thou be in the Earth.
Gen 4:13 And Cain said to the LORD, my punishment [is] greater than I can bear.
Gen 4:14 Behold, Thou have driven me this day from the face of the ground;
        and from Thy face shall I be hiding;
        and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the Earth;
        and it shall be, [that] every one that finds me shall slay me.
Gen 4:15 And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven-fold.
         And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Gen 4:16 {Cain's descendants}.
        And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, eastward of Eden.
Gen 4:17 And Cain knew{intercourse} his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch:
        and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son Enoch.
Gen 4:18
        And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begot Mehujael:
        and Mehujael begot Methusael: and Methusael begot Lamech.
Gen 4:19 And Lamech took to him two wives: the name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Gen 4:20 And Adah bore Jabal: He was the father of such as dwell in tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
Gen 4:21 And his brother's name [was] Jubal: He was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Gen 4:22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in copper and iron: and the sister of Tubal-Cain [was] Naamah.
Gen 4:23 {Song of the Sword}.
        And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah,
        Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech.
        Listen to my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding,
        and a young man to my hurt.
Gen 4:24 If Cain shall be avenged seven times,
        truly Lamech seventy times seven.
Gen 4:25 {Adam's descendants}.
        And Adam knew{intercourse} his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth:
        For GOD, [said she], has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos:
        then began men to call on the name of the LORD.

Gen 5:1 This [is] the Book of the generations of Adam.
        In the day that GOD created man, in the likeness of GOD made He him:
Gen 5:2 male and female created He them;
        and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Gen 5:3
        And Adam lived a hundred thirty years, and begot [a son] in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.
Gen 5:4 And the days of Adam after he begot Seth were eight hundred years,
        and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred thirty years; and he died.
Gen 5:6
        And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begot Enos:
Gen 5:7 And Seth lived after he begot Enos eight hundred and seven years,
        and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred twelve years; and he died.
Gen 5:9
         And Enos lived ninety years, and begot Cainan.
Gen 5:10 And Enos lived after he begot Cainan eight hundred fifteen years,
         and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years; and he died.
Gen 5:12
         And Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Mahalalel.
Gen 5:13 And Cainan lived after he begot Mahalalel eight hundred forty years,
         and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred ten years; and he died.
Gen 5:15
         And Mahalalel lived sixty five years, and begot Jared.
Gen 5:16 And Mahalalel lived after he begot Jared eight hundred thirty years,
         and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 5:17 And all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred ninety five years; and he died.
Gen 5:18
         And Jared lived a hundred sixty two years, and begot Enoch.

Gen 6:1
        And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the Earth, and daughters were born to them,
Gen 6:2 and the sons of GOD saw the daughters of men that they [were] nice;
        and they took them wives of all whom they chose.
Gen 6:3 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 twenty years.
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the Earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of GOD came in to the daughters of men,
        and they bore [children] to them: the same [became] mighty men, who [were] of old, men of renown.

Gen 6:5 And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the Earth,
         and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil every day.
Gen 6:6 And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the Earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I shall destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the Earth,
         both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air;
        for I regret that I have made them;
Gen 6:8 but Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Gen 6:9 {Noah and the Flood}.
        These [are] the generations of Noah:
         Noah was a just man, [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with GOD.
Gen 6:10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Gen 6:11 The Earth also was corrupt before GOD; and the Earth was filled with violence.
Gen 6:12 And GOD looked upon the Earth, and behold, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the Earth.
Gen 6:13 And GOD said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me;
        for the Earth is filled with violence through them: and behold, I shall destroy them with the Earth.
Gen 6:14
        Make Thee an ark of gopher-wood: rooms shall Thou make in the ark,
        and shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
Gen 6:15 And this [is the fashion] in which Thou shall make it: the length of the ark,
        [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Gen 6:16 A window shall Thou make to the ark,
        and in a cubit shall Thou finish it above;
        and the door of the ark shall Thou set in its side:
        [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shall Thou make it.
Gen 6:17 And behold, I, even I do bring a flood of waters upon the Earth,
        to destroy all flesh, in which [is] the breath of life, from under Heaven:
        [and] everything that [is] on the Earth shall die;
Gen 6:18 but with Thee I shall establish My Covenant:
        and Thou shall come into the ark, Thou, and Thy sons, and Thy wife, and Thy sons' wives with Thee.
Gen 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shall Thou bring into the ark,
        to keep [them] alive with Thee: they shall be male and female.
Gen 6:20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind,
        of every creeping thing of the Earth after its kind,
        two of every [sort] shall come to Thee, to keep [them] alive.
Gen 6:21 And take Thou to Thee of all food that is eaten, and Thou shall gather [it] to Thee;
        and it shall be for food for Thee, and for them.
Gen 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that GOD commanded him, so did he.
Gen 7:1
        And the LORD said to Noah, Come Thou and all Thy house into the ark:
        for Thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation.
Gen 7:2 Of every clean beast Thou shall take to Thee seven by seven, the male and his wife:
        and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his wife.
Gen 7:3 Of fowls of the air also seven by seven, the male and the female;
        to keep seed alive upon the face of all the Earth.
Gen 7:4 For yet seven days,
        and I shall cause it to rain upon the Earth;
        forty days and forty nights:
        and every living substance that I have made shall I destroy from the face of the Earth.
Gen 7:5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
Gen 7:6 And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the Earth.
Gen 7:7
        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.
Gen 7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean,
        and of fowls, and of every creeping thing upon the Earth;
Gen 7:9 there went in two by two to Noah into the ark,
        the male and the female,
        as GOD had commanded Noah.
Gen 7:10
        And it came to pass after seven days,
        that the waters of the flood were upon the Earth.
Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month,
        in this day were all the fountains of the great Abyss broken up, and the windows of Heaven were opened.
Gen 7:12 And the rain was upon the Earth forty days and forty nights.
Gen 7:13 In the same day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, (the sons of Noah),
        and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark. [1Pe 3:20]
Gen 7:14 They, and every animal after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind,
        and every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth after its kind,
        and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort.
Gen 7:15 And they went in to Noah into the ark,
        two by two of all flesh, in which [is] the breath of life.
Gen 7:16
        And they that entered, went in male and female of all flesh,
        as GOD had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Gen 7:17 And the flood was forty days upon the Earth:
        and the waters increased, and bore up the ark,
        and it was lifted above the Earth.
Gen 7:18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the Earth:
        and the ark moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the Earth;
        and all the high mountains that [were] under the whole Heaven were covered.
Gen 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail: and the mountains were covered.
Gen 7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the Earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of animal,
        and of every swarmer that creeps upon the Earth, and every man.
Gen 7:22 All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of the Spirit of life, of all that [was] on the dry [land], died.
Gen 7:23 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 air; and they were destroyed from the Earth;
        and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.
Gen 7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the Earth a hundred fifty days.
Gen 8:1
        And GOD remembered Noah, and every living animal, and all the cattle that [were] with him in the ark:
        and GOD made a wind to pass upon the Earth, and the waters were appeased.
Gen 8:2 The fountains also of the Abyss, and the windows of Heaven were stopped, and the rain from Heaven was restrained;
Gen 8:3 and the waters returned from off the Earth continually: and the waters were abated after the end of the hundred fifty days.
Gen 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month,
        upon the mountains of Ararat.
Gen 8:5 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.
Gen 8:6
        And it came to pass at the end of forty days,
        that Noah opened the window of the ark which He had made.
Gen 8:7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth back and forth, until the waters were dried from off the Earth.
Gen 8:8 And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
Gen 8:9 but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark;
        for the waters [were] upon the face of all the Earth.
        Then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.
Gen 8:10 And he waited yet other seven day,
        and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
Gen 8:11 and the dove came in to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth [was] an olive-leaf plucked off:
        So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the Earth.
Gen 8:12 And he waited yet other seven day,
        and sent forth the dove; which returned not again to him any more.
Gen 8:13
        And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], the first [day] of the month,
        the waters were dried from off the Earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark,
        and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.
Gen 8:14 And in the second month, on the twenty seventh day of the month, was the Earth dried.
Gen 8:15
        And GOD spoke to Noah, saying,
Gen 8:16 Go forth from the ark, Thou, and Thy wife, and Thy sons, and Thy sons' wives with Thee.
Gen 8:17 Bring forth with Thee every living animal that [is] with Thee, of all flesh,
        of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth;
        that they may breed abundantly on the Earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the Earth.
Gen 8:18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
Gen 8:19 every animal, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creeps upon the Earth,
        after their kinds, went out of the ark.
Gen 8:20
        And Noah built an Altar to the LORD, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl,
        and offered burnt-offerings on the Altar.
Gen 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in His heart,
        I shall not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth:
        neither shall I again smite any more every living animal as I have done.
Gen 8:22 While all the days of the Earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Gen 9:1 {Blessing and Covenant}.
        And GOD blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the Earth.
Gen 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every animal of the earth,
        and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moves [on] the Earth,
        and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Gen 9:3 Every creeping thing that lives shall be food for you; even as the green herb have I given you all [things]:
Gen 9:4 but flesh with the soul of it, [which is] its blood, shall ye not eat.
Gen 9:5
        And surely your blood of your souls shall I require:
        at the hand of every animal shall I require it: and at the hand of man,
        at the hand of every man's brother shall I require the soul of man.
Gen 9:6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
        for in the image of GOD made He man.
Gen 9:7
        And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply, bring forth abundantly in the Earth, and multiply in it.
Gen 9:8
        And GOD said to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Gen 9:9 And I, behold, I establish My Covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
Gen 9:10 and with every living soul that [is] with you,
        of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every animal of the earth with you,
        from all that go out of the ark, to every animal of the earth.
Gen 9:11 And I shall 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.
Gen 9:12 And GOD said, This [is] the sign of the Covenant which I make between me and you,
        and every living soul that [is] with you, for perpetual generations.
Gen 9:13 I have set My bow{rainbow} in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a Covenant between me and the Earth.
Gen 9:14 And it shall be, when I bring a cloud upon the Earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Gen 9:15 and I shall remember My Covenant, which [is] between Me and you and every living soul of all flesh;
        and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Gen 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I shall look upon it,
        that I may remember the Everlasting Covenant between GOD and every living soul of all flesh that [is] upon the Earth.

Gen 9:17 And GOD said to Noah, This [is] the sign of the Covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] upon the Earth.
Gen 9:18 And the sons of Noah that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [was] the father of Canaan.
Gen 9:19 These three [were] the sons of Noah: and from them was all the Earth overspread.
Gen 9:20 {The curse of Canaan}.
        And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.
Gen 9:21 And he drank the wine, and was drunken,
        and he was uncovered inside his tent.
Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father,
        and told his two brethren outside.
Gen 9:23 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.
Gen 9:24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son{grandson} had done to him.
Gen 9:25
         And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan,
        a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren!
Gen 9:26 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Shem;
        and Canaan shall be his servant!
Gen 9:27 GOD shall enlarge Japheth,
        and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem;
        and Canaan shall be his servant!
Gen 9:28 {Sons of Noah}.
        And Noah lived after the flood three hundred fifty years.
Gen 9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years; and he died.

Gen 10:1 And these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah;
        Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood.
Gen 10:2
        The sons of <Japheth>; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Gen 10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gen 10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Gen 10:5 By these were the isles of the gentiles divided in their lands;
         every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Gen 10:6
         And the sons of <Ham>; Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
Gen 10:7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha; and the sons of Raamah, Sheba, and Dedan.
Gen 10:8 And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be a mighty on the Earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter against the LORD: therefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter against the LORD.
Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Bab-El{Babel Babylon}, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Gen 10:11 Out of that land went forth Ashur{Assyria}, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
Gen 10:12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah: which [is] a great city.
Gen 10:13 And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim.
Gen 10:14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (of whom came [the] Philistines), and Caphtorim.
Gen 10:15
         And Canaan begot Sidon his first-born, and Heth,
Gen 10:16 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
Gen 10:17 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Gen 10:18 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite:
          and afterward were the families of the Canaanites dispersed.
Gen 10:19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as Thou come to Gerar, to Gaza;
        as Thou go to Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lashah.
Gen 10:20 These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations.
Gen 10:21
        To <Shem> also, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born.
Gen 10:22 The sons of Shem; Elam, and Ashur{Assyria}, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Gen 10:23 And the sons of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Gen 10:24 And Arphaxad begot Salah; and Salah begot Eber.
Gen 10:25 And to Eber were born two sons:
        the name of one [was] Peleg, for in his days was the Earth divided; and his brother's name [was] Joktan.
Gen 10:26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Gen 10:27 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Gen 10:28 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Gen 10:29 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were] the sons of Joktan.
Gen 10:30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as Thou go to Sephar, a mountain of the east.
Gen 10:31 These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Gen 10:32
        These [are] the families of the sons of Noah after their generations, in their nations:
        and by these were the nations divided in the Earth after the flood.

Gen 11:1 {Tower of Babel}.
        And all the Earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Gen 11:2
        And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.
        And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
Gen 11:4 And they said, come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top [may reach] to Heaven;
        and let us make us a name,
        lest we should be scattered abroad upon the face of all the Earth.
Gen 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men were building.
Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [are] one, and they have all one language;
        and this they begin to do: and now nothing shall be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Gen 11:7 Come, let Us go down, and there confound their language,
        that they may not understand one another's speech.
Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the Earth:
        and they left off to build the city.
Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Bab-El{Babel Babylon},
        because the LORD there confounded the language of all the Earth:
        and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the Earth.

Gen 11:10 These [are] the generations of Shem:
          Shem [was] a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Gen 11:11 And Shem lived after he begot Arphaxad five hundred years,
          and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:12 And Arphaxad lived thirty five years, and begot Salah. [1Ch 1:24]
Gen 11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begot Salah four hundred and three years,
          and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.
Gen 11:15 And Salah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and three years,
          and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:16 And Eber lived thirty four years, and begot Peleg.
Gen 11:17 And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred thirty years,
          and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
Gen 11:19 And Peleg lived after he begot Reu two hundred nine years,
          and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:20 And Reu lived thirty two years, and begot Serug.
Gen 11:21 And Reu lived after he begot Serug two hundred and seven years,
          and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.
Gen 11:23 And Serug lived after he begot Nahor two hundred years,
          and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:24 And Nahor lived twenty nine years, and begot Terah.
Gen 11:25 And Nahor lived after he begot Terah a hundred nineteen years,
          and begot sons and daughters.
Gen 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Gen 11:27 
        And these [are] the generations of Terah:
        Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begot Lot.
Gen 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Gen 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives:
        the name of Abram's wife [was] Sarai;
        and the name of Nahor's wife [was] Milcah,
        (the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah).
Gen 11:30 And Sarai [was] barren; she had no child.
Gen 11:31 And Terah took Abram (his son), and Lot (the son of Haran his grandson), and Sarai (his daughter-in-law or his son Abram's wife);
        and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
Gen 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
Gen 12:1 {Abram's migration}.
        And the LORD said to Abram,
        Depart from Thy land, Thy kindred, Thy father's house, to a land that I shall show Thee: [Act 7:3]
Gen 12:2 and I shall make of Thee a great nation, and I shall bless Thee,
        and make Thy name great; and Thou shall be a blessing.
Gen 12:3 And I shall bless them that bless Thee, and curse him that curses Thee:
        And in Thee all families of the Earth shall be blessed. [Act 3:25]
Gen 12:4
        So Abram departed, as the LORD has spoken to him,
        and Lot went with him: and Abram [was] seventy five years old when he departed from Haran.
Gen 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son,
        and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran;
        and they went to go forth into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
Gen 12:6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh.
        And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.
Gen 12:7 And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said,
        To Thy seed I shall give this land: and there he erected an Altar to the LORD, who appeared to him. [Gal 3:16]
Gen 12:8 And he removed from thence to a mountain on the east of Beth-El, and pitched his tent,
        [having] Beth-El on the west, and Ai on the east:
        and there he erected an Altar to the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
Gen 12:9 And Abram journeyed, going on still towards the south.

Gen 12:10 {A wife confused for a sister 1}.
        And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to dwell there;
        for the famine [was] grievous in the land.
Gen 12:11
        And it came to pass, when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife,
        Behold now, I know that Thou [are] a beautiful woman to look upon.
Gen 12:12 Therefore it shall be, when the Egyptians shall see Thee, that they shall say,
        This [is] his wife: and they shall kill me, but they shall save Thee alive.
Gen 12:13 Say, I pray Thee, Thou [are] my sister:
        that it may be well with me for Thy sake; and my soul shall live because of Thee.
Gen 12:14
        And it came to pass, that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very beautiful.
Gen 12:15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
Gen 12:16 And he treated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.
Gen 12:17 And the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Gen 12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said,
        What [is] this [that] Thou have done to me? Why did Thou not tell me that she [is] Thy wife?
Gen 12:19 Why said Thou, She [is] my sister? So I might have taken her to me for a wife:
        now therefore behold Thy wife, take [her], and go Thy way.
Gen 12:20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Gen 13:1
        And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
Gen 13:2 And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Gen 13:3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-El,
        to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-El and Ai;
Gen 13:4 to the place of the Altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
Gen 13:5 {Partition between Abram and Lot}.
        And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Gen 13:6 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.
Gen 13:7 And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle:
        and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.
Gen 13:8 And Abram said to Lot,
        Let there be no strife, I pray Thee,
        between me and Thee,
        between my herdsmen and Thy herdsmen;
        for our men [are] brethren.
Gen 13:9 [Is] not the whole land before Thee?
        Separate thyself, I pray Thee,
        from me: if [Thou shall take] the left [hand],
        then I shall go to the right;
        or if [Thou shall depart] to the right [hand],
        then I shall go to the left.
Gen 13:10
        And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan,
        that it [was] well watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,
        as the Garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as Thou come to Zoar.
Gen 13:11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east:
        and they shall be separated each from his brethren.
Gen 13:12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan,
        and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain,
        and pitched [his] tent towards Sodom;
Gen 13:13 but the men of Sodom [were] wicked,
        and sinners before the LORD, exceedingly.
Gen 13:14
        And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him,
        Lift up now Thy eyes, and look from the place where Thou are,
        northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
Gen 13:15 for all the land which Thou see, to Thee I shall give it, and to Thy seed forever.
Gen 13:16 And I shall make Thy seed as the dust of the Earth:
        so that if a man can number the dust of the Earth, [then] shall Thy seed also be numbered.
Gen 13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I shall give it to Thee.
Gen 13:18 Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the oaks of Mamre,
        (which [is] in Hebron), and built there an Altar to the LORD.

Gen 14:1 {Chedorlaomer}.
        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;
Gen 14:2 [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.
Gen 14:3 All these were joined together in the valley of Siddim, which is the Salt Sea.
Gen 14:4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Gen 14:5 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,
Gen 14:6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El-paran, which [is] by the wilderness.
Gen 14:7 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 Hazezontamar.
Gen 14:8 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, (which [is] Zoar);
        and they joined battle with them in the valley of Siddim;
Gen 14:9 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.
Gen 14:10 And the valley 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.
Gen 14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way.
Gen 14:12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Gen 14:13
        And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew;
        for he dwelt in the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate with Abram.
Gen 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother{relative} was taken captive, he armed his trained [servants], born in his own House,
        three hundred eighteen, and pursued [them] to Dan.
Gen 14:15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants by night,
        and smote them, and pursued them to Hobah, which [is] on the left{north} of Damascus.
Gen 14:16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Gen 14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, [Heb 7:1]
        and of the kings that [were] with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the valley of the king.
Gen 14:18
        And <Melchisedek>, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine: and He [was] the Priest of God the Most High.
Gen 14:19 And He blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the God Most High, possessor of Heaven and Earth: [Heb 7:1]
Gen 14:20 and blessed [be] the God Most High, who has delivered Thy enemies into Thy hand! And he gave Him tithes of all. [Heb 7:2]
Gen 14:21
        And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the goods to thyself.
Gen 14:22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted my hand to the LORD,
        the God Most High, the possessor of Heaven and Earth,
Gen 14:23 that I shall not [take] from a thread even to a shoe-thong, and that I shall not take anything that [is] Thy,
        lest Thou should say, I have made Abram rich;
Gen 14:24 except only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me,
        Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
Gen 15:1 {The Covenant of Abram}.
        After these the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision,
        saying, Fear not, Abram: I [AM] Thy Shield, [and] Thy exceedingly great Reward.
Gen 15:2 And Abram said, Lord JeHoVaH, what shall Thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house [is] this Eliezer of Damascus?
Gen 15:3 And Abram said, Behold, to me Thou have given no seed: and behold, one born in my house is my heir.
Gen 15:4 And behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, saying,
        This shall not be Thy heir; but he who shall come forth out of Thy own bowels shall be Thy heir.
Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said,
        Look now towards Heaven, and tell the stars, if Thou are able to number them: and He said to him, So shall Thy seed be.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and He counted to him for righteousness. [Rom 4:3]
Gen 15:7 And he said to him, I [AM] the LORD that brought Thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give Thee this land to inherit it.
Gen 15:8 And he said, Lord JeHoVaH, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Gen 15:9 And He said to 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.
Gen 15:10 And he took to him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds He did not divide.
Gen 15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
Gen 15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Gen 15:13 And He said to Abram, Know certainly that his seed shall be stranger in a foreign land [that is] not theirs,
        and that they shall bring the same into bondage, and shall treat [them] ill four hundred years. [Act 7:6]
Gen 15:14 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage shall i judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. [Act 7:7]
Gen 15:15 And Thou shall go to Thy fathers in peace; Thou shall be buried in a good old age;
Gen 15:16 but in the fourth generation they shall come here again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full.
Gen 15:17
        And it came to pass, that when the sun had gone down, and it was dark,
        behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
Gen 15:18 In that day the LORD made a Covenant with Abram,
        saying, To Thy seed have I given this land,
        from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
Gen 15:19 the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Gen 15:20 and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
Gen 15:21 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Gen 16:1 {Hagar and Ishmael}.
        And Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no [children]: and she had a bondmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar.
Gen 16:2 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold, now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing: I pray Thee go in to my bondmaid;
        it may be that I may obtain [children] by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Gen 16:3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her bondmaid, the Egyptian,
        after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
Gen 16:4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Gen 16:5 And Sarai said to Abram, my wrong [be] upon Thee: I have given my bondmaid into Thy bosom;
        and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. May the LORD judge between me and Thee.
Gen 16:6 And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, Thy bondmaid [is] in Thy hand;
         do to her as it pleases Thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
Gen 16:7 And the Angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Gen 16:8 And He said, Hagar, Sarai's bondmaid, whence came Thou? And where shall Thou go?
         And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
Gen 16:9 And the Angel of the LORD said to her,
         Return to Thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Gen 16:10 And the Angel of the LORD said to her,
         I shall multiply Thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Gen 16:11
        And the Angel of the LORD said to her,
        Behold, Thou [are] pregnant, and shall bear a son,
        and shall call his name Ishma-El{Ishmael};
        because the LORD has heard Thy affliction.
Gen 16:12 And he shall be a wild ass man; his hand [shall be] against every man,
        and every man's hand against him;
        and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Gen 16:13 And she called the name of the LORD that spoke to her, Thou God see me:
        for she said, Have I also here looked after Him that sees me?
Gen 16:14 Therefore the well was called Beer-Lahai-roi{Well of the Living One Seeing};
         behold, [it is] between Kadesh and Bered.
Gen 16:15 And Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Gen 16:16 And Abram [was] eighty six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Gen 17:1 {Circumcision Covenant}.
        And when Abram was ninety nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him,
        I [AM] God Almighty; walk before Me, and be Thou perfect.
Gen 17:2 And I shall make My Covenant between Me and Thee, and shall multiply Thee exceedingly.
Gen 17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and GOD talked with him, saying,
Gen 17:4 As for Me, behold, My Covenant [is] with Thee, and Thou shall be a father of many nations.
Gen 17:5
        Neither shall Thy name any more be called Abram{Father is high},
        but Thy name shall be Abraham; I have made Thee a father of many nations. [Rom 4:17]
Gen 17:6 And I shall make Thee exceedingly fruitful, and I shall make nations of Thee; and kings shall proceed from Thee.
Gen 17:7 And I shall establish My Covenant between Me and Thee, and Thy seed after Thee, in their generations,
        for an Everlasting Covenant; to be a GOD to Thee and to Thy seed after Thee.
Gen 17:8 And I shall give to Thee, and to Thy seed after Thee, the land of Thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan,
        for an everlasting possession; and I shall be their GOD.
Gen 17:9
        And GOD said to Abraham, Thou shall keep My Covenant therefore, Thou, and Thy seed after Thee, in their generations.
Gen 17:10 This [is] My Covenant, which ye shall keep between Me and you, and Thy seed after Thee;
        Every male-child among you shall be circumcised.
Gen 17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a sign of the Covenant between Me and you.
Gen 17:12 And a son of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male-child in your generations,
        he who is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, who [is] not of Thy seed.
Gen 17:13 He who is born in Thy house, and he who is bought with Thy money, must necessarily be circumcised:
        and My Covenant shall be in your flesh for an Everlasting Covenant.
Gen 17:14 And the uncircumcised male-child, whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised,
        that soul shall be cut off from His people; he has broken My Covenant.
Gen 17:15
        And GOD said to Abraham, As for Sarai Thy wife,
        Thou shall not call her name Sarai{princess}, but Sarah{queen} [shall be] her name.
Gen 17:16 And I shall bless her, and give Thee a son also by her.
        And I shall bless her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations; kings of people shall proceed from her.
Gen 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed,
        and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old?
        And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
Gen 17:18 And Abraham said to GOD, that Ishmael might live before Thee!
Gen 17:19 And GOD said, Sarah Thy wife shall bear Thee a son indeed; and Thou shall call his name Isaac:
        and I shall establish My Covenant with him for an Everlasting Covenant, [and] with his seed after him.
Gen 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard Thee:
         Behold, I have blessed him, and shall make him fruitful, and shall multiply him exceedingly;
         twelve princes shall he beget, and I shall make him a great nation;
Gen 17:21 but My Covenant I shall establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to Thee at this set time in the next year.
Gen 17:22 And He ceased talking with him, and GOD went up from Abraham.
Gen 17:23
        And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house,
        and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house;
        and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin, in the same day, as GOD had spoke to him.
Gen 17:24 And Abraham [was] ninety nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Gen 17:25 And Ishmael his son [was] thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Gen 17:26 In the same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
Gen 17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

Gen 18:1 And the LORD appeared to him in the oaks of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
Gen 18:2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood by him:
        and when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself towards the ground;
Gen 18:3 and said, my Lord, if now I have found grace in Thy eyes, pass not away, I pray Thee, from Thy servant.
Gen 18:4 Let a little water, I pray you, be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Gen 18:5 And I shall bring a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant.
        And they said, So do, as Thou have spoken.
Gen 18:6 And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said,
        Make ready quickly three seahs of fine meal, knead [it], and make cakes.
Gen 18:7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and brought a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
Gen 18:8 And he took curd, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed,
        and set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
Gen 18:9
        And they said to him, Where [is] Sarah Thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Gen 18:10 And He said, I shall certainly return to Thee according to the time of life; and behold, Sarah Thy wife shall have a son.
        And Sarah heard [it] in the tent door, which [was] behind him.
Gen 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old [and] far advanced in days; [and] it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Gen 18:12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I [am] become old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? [Gen 21:5-7]
Gen 18:13 And the LORD said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I certainly bear [a child], I [who is] old? [Gen 21:5-6]
Gen 18:14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I shall return to Thee,
        according to the time of life, and there shall be to Sarah a son.
Gen 18:15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And He said, No; but Thou did laugh. [Gen 21:5-6]
Gen 18:16 {Sodom and Gomorrah}.
        And the men rose up from thence, and looked towards Sodom:
        and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Gen 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Gen 18:18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the Earth shall be blessed in Him?
Gen 18:19 For I know him, that he shall command his sons 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 has spoken of him.
Gen 18:20
        And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Gen 18:21 I shall go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come to Me; and if not, I shall know.
Gen 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went towards Sodom:
        but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Gen 18:23
        And Abraham drew near, and said, Will Thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Gen 18:24 Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city: shall Thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that [are] in it?
Gen 18:25 Let it not be to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked:
        and let it not be that the righteous should be as the wicked.
        Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?
Gen 18:26
        And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I shall spare all the place for their sakes.
Gen 18:27 And Abraham answered and said,
        Behold now, I, who [am] dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to the Lord.
Gen 18:28 Perhaps there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: shall Thou destroy all the city for [lack of] five?
        And he said, If I find there forty five, I shall not destroy [it].
Gen 18:29 And yet again, he spoke to Him, and said,
        Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And He said, I shall not do [it] for forty's sake.
Gen 18:30 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I shall speak:
        Perhaps there shall be thirty found there. And He said, I shall not do [it], if I find thirty there.
Gen 18:31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to the Lord:
        Perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And He said, I shall not destroy [it] for twenty's sake.
Gen 18:32 And he said, let not the Lord be angry, and I shall speak yet but this once:
        Perhaps there shall be ten found there. And He said, I shall not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
Gen 18:33
        And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
Gen 19:1
        And there came two Angels to Sodom at evening; and Lot sat in the Gate of Sodom;
        and Lot seeing [them], rose to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face towards the ground;
Gen 19:2 And he said, Behold now, my Lords, turn, I pray you, into your servant's house,
        and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise early,
        and go on your ways. And they said, No; but we shall abide in the street all night.
Gen 19:3 And he urged them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house;
        and he made them a feast, and baked Unleavened [Bread], and they ate.
Gen 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom,
        surrounded the house, both old and young, all the people from every end.
Gen 19:5 And they called to Lot, and said to him,
        Where [are] the men who came in to Thee this night?
        Bring them out to us, that we may know{intercourse} them.
Gen 19:6 And Lot went out at the door to them, and shut the door after him,
Gen 19:7 and said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Gen 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known{intercourse} man;
        let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye to them as [is] good in your eyes:
        only to these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my beam.
Gen 19:9 And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one [man] came in to sojourn, and he shall needs be a judge:
        Now shall we deal worse with Thee than with them.
        And they pressed hard upon the man, Lot, and came near to break the door.
Gen 19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Gen 19:11 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.
Gen 19:12
        And the men said to Lot, Have Thou here any besides? Son-in-law, and Thy sons, and Thy daughters,
        and whatever Thou have in the city, bring [them] out of this place:
Gen 19:13 for we shall destroy this place,
        because the cry of them has become great before the Face of the LORD;
        and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.
Gen 19:14 And Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters,
        and said, Arise, depart from this place; for the LORD shall destroy this city:
        but it seemed as mocking in the eyes of his sons-in-law.
Gen 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the Angels hastened Lot,
        saying, Arise, take Thy wife, and Thy two daughters who are here; lest Thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
Gen 19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters:
        the LORD being merciful to him: and they brought him forth, and set him outside the city.
Gen 19:17
        And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for Thy soul:
        look not behind Thee, neither stay Thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest Thou be consumed.
Gen 19:18 And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my Lord!
Gen 19:19 Behold now, Thy servant has found grace in Thy eyes, and Thou have magnified Thy mercy, which Thou have shown to me in saving my soul:
        and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil should take me, and I die.
Gen 19:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it [is] a small [one]:
        Oh, let me escape there! ([Is] it not a small [one])? And my soul shall live.
Gen 19:21 And he said to him, Behold, I have lifted up Thy face{accepted} Thee concerning this thing also, that I shall not overthrow this city, for which Thou have spoken.
Gen 19:22 Haste Thee, escape there: for I cannot do anything until Thou have come there: therefore the name of the city was called Zoar{insignificance}.
Gen 19:23 The sun had risen upon the Earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Gen 19:24 And the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of Heaven;
Gen 19:25 and He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Gen 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Gen 19:27
        And Abraham rose early in the morning, to the place where he stood before the LORD.
Gen 19:28 And he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and towards all the land of the plain,
        and beheld, and behold, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Gen 19:29 And it came to pass, when GOD destroyed the cities of the plain,
        that GOD remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow,
        when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Gen 19:30 {Lot's drunkenness}.
        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.
Gen 19:31 And the first-born said to the younger,
        Our father [is] old, and [there is] not a man on the Earth to come in to us after the manner of all the Earth.
Gen 19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we shall lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Gen 19:33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the first-born went in and lay with her father;
        and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Gen 19:34
        And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said to 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.
Gen 19:35 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.
Gen 19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot becoming pregnant by their father.
Gen 19:37 And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Mo-ab{Moab}: which [is] the father of the Moabites to this day.
Gen 19:38 And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: which [is] the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
Gen 20:1 {A wife confused for a sister 2}.
        And Abraham journeyed from thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadash and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Gen 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, she is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Gen 20:3 But GOD came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and He said to him,
        Behold, Thou [are but] a dead man, on account of the woman whom Thou have taken: for she being married to a husband.
Gen 20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, shall Thou also slay a righteous nation?
Gen 20:5 Said he not to me, She [is] my sister? And she, even she herself said, he [is] my brother: in the integrity of my heart,
        and innocence of my hands have I done this.
Gen 20:6 And GOD said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that Thou did this in the integrity of Thy heart;
        for I also withheld Thee from sinning against Me: therefore I allow Thee not to touch her.
Gen 20:7 And now restore to the man [his] wife, for he [is] a prophet, and he shall pray for Thee, and Thou shall live:
        and if Thou shall not restore [her], know that Thou dying, Thou shall die, Thou and all that [are] Thy,
Gen 20:8 and Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these words in their ears: and the men were greatly afraid.
Gen 20:9
        Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have Thou done to us? And in what have I offended Thee,
        that Thou have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.
Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What saw Thou, that Thou have done this thing?
Gen 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, surely the fear of GOD [is] not in this place; and they shall slay me for my wife's sake.
Gen 20:12 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.
Gen 20:13
        And it came to pass, when GOD caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This [is] Thy kindness which Thou shall show to me;
        At every place where we shall come, say of me, he [is] my brother.
Gen 20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and women-servants, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.
Gen 20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before Thee: dwell where it pleases Thee.
Gen 20:16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given Thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver: behold, he [is] to Thee a covering of the eyes,
        to all that [are] with Thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved.
Gen 20:17 So Abraham prayed to GOD: and GOD healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore [children].
Gen 20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs{made barren} of the House of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Gen 21:1 {The birth of Isaac}.
        And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as He had spoken.
Gen 21:2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which GOD had spoken to him.
Gen 21:3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Gen 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as GOD had commanded him.
Gen 21:5 And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
Gen 21:6 And Sarah said, GOD has made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear shall laugh with me.
Gen 21:7 And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah shall nurse sons? For I have borne [him] a son in his old age.
Gen 21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the day that Isaac was weaned.
Gen 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Gen 21:10 Therefore, she said to Abraham, Cast out the bondmaid and her son:
        for the son of the bondmaid should not inherit with my son, with Isaac. [Gal 4:30]
Gen 21:11 And the thing was very grievous in the eyes of Abraham, because of his son.
Gen 21:12
        And GOD said to Abraham, Let not be grievous in Thy eyes, because of the lad, and because of Thy bondmaid;
        in all that Sarah has said to Thee, listen to her voice: for in Isaac The seed of Thee shall be called. [Rom 9:7 Heb 11:18]
Gen 21:13 And also of the son of the bondmaid shall I make a nation, because he [is] Thy seed.
Gen 21:14 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water,
        and gave [it] to Hagar (putting [it] on her shoulder) and the child,
        and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba.
Gen 21:15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
Gen 21:16 And she went, and sat her down opposed to him, far off as it were a bow-shot: for she said,
        Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat opposed to him, and raised her voice, and wept.
Gen 21:17 And GOD heard the voice of the lad: and the Angel of GOD called to Hagar out of Heaven, and said to her,
        What ails Thee, Hagar? Fear not; for GOD has heard the voice of the lad where He [is].
Gen 21:18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in Thy hand: for I shall make him a great nation.
Gen 21:19 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.
Gen 21:20 And GOD was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Gen 21:21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took for him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

Gen 21:22 {Beer-Sheba}.
         And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, and Phichol the captain of his army, spoke to Abraham,
        saying, GOD [is] with Thee in all that Thou do.
Gen 21:23 And now swear to me here by GOD, that Thou shall not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my grandson:
        [but] according to the kindness that I have done to Thee, Thou shall do to me, and to the land in which Thou have sojourned.
Gen 21:24 And Abraham said, I shall swear.
Gen 21:25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech, because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Gen 21:26 And Abimelech said, I know not who has done this thing: neither did Thou tell me, neither yet have I heard [of it], but today.
Gen 21:27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech: and both of them made a Covenant.
Gen 21:28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the flock by themselves.
Gen 21:29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What [mean] these seven ewe-lambs, which Thou have set by themselves?
Gen 21:30 And he said, For [these] seven ewe-lambs shall Thou take from my hand, that they may be a testimony to me, that I have dig this well.
Gen 21:31 Therefore he called that place Beer-Sheba: because there they swore both of them.
Gen 21:32 And they made a Covenant at Beer-Sheba:
        Then Abimelech arose, and Phichol the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Gen 21:33 And [Abraham] planted a tamarisk-tree in Beer-Sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
Gen 21:34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.

Gen 22:1 {The Binding of Isaac}.
        And it came to pass after these, that GOD tested Abraham,
        and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Behold me.
Gen 22:2 And He said, Take now Thy son, Thy only-begotten Isaac, whom Thou love, and go into the land of Moriah;
        and ascend him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I shall say to Thee.
Gen 22:3 And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his she-ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son,
        and cleft the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose and went to the place which GOD had said to him.
Gen 22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Gen 22:5 And Abraham said to his young men,
        Abide you here with the ass, and I and the lad shall go there and worship, and return to you.
Gen 22:6 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.
Gen 22:7 And Isaac said to Abraham his father, My father. And he said, Behold me, my son.
        And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt-offering?
Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, my son,
        GOD shall provide Himself the Lamb for a burnt-offering: so they went both of them together.
Gen 22:9
        And they came to the place which GOD had said to him; and Abraham built there an Altar,
        and laid the wood in order; and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the Altar upon the wood.
Gen 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Gen 22:11 And the Angel of the LORD called to him from Heaven,
        and said, Abraham, Abraham! And he said, Behold me.
Gen 22:12 And He said, Lay not Thy hand upon the lad, neither do Thou anything to him: for now I know that Thou fear GOD,
        seeing Thou have not withheld from Me Thy son, Thy only-begotten.
Gen 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns:
          and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
Gen 22:14 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.
Gen 22:15
        And the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham from Heaven the second time,
Gen 22:16 and said, By Myself have I sworn, said the LORD, for because Thou have done this thing, and have not withheld Thy son, Thy only-begotten. [Heb 6:13]
Gen 22:17 Surely, blessing I shall bless Thee, and multiplying I shall multiply Thee. [Heb 6:14]
        Thy seed as the stars of Heaven, and as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore; and Thy seed shall possess the gate of His enemies;
Gen 22:18 and in Thy seed shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed: because Thou have obeyed My voice. [Gal 3:8]
Gen 22:19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-Sheba.

Gen 22:20 And it came to pass after these, that it was told to Abraham,
        saying, Behold, Milcah, she has also borne sons to Thy brother Nahor;
Gen 22:21 Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Gen 22:22 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Gen 22:23 And Bethuel begot Rebekah: these eight Milcah bore to Nahor Abraham's brother.
Gen 22:24 And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Gen 23:1 {The cave of Machpelah}.
        And Sarah was a hundred twenty seven years old: [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
Gen 23:2 And Sarah died in Kirjath-Arba: which [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan. And Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Gen 23:3
         And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Gen 23:4 I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
Gen 23:5 And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Gen 23:6 Hear us, my lord; Thou [are] a Prince of GOD among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury Thy dead:
        none of us shall withhold from Thee his sepulchre, but that Thou may bury Thy dead.
Gen 23:7 And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the sons of Heth.
Gen 23:8 And he communed with them, saying, If your soul [desire] that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
Gen 23:9 that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which [is] in the end of his field;
        for as much money as it is worth, he shall give it me, for a possession of a burying-place among you.
Gen 23:10 And Ephron dwelt among the sons of Heth.
          And Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the sons of Heth, of all that entered the gate of his city, saying,
Gen 23:11 No, my lord, hear me: the field give I to Thee, and the cave that [is] in it, I give it to Thee;
           in the presence of the sons of my people I give it to Thee: bury Thy dead.
Gen 23:12 And Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land.
Gen 23:13 And he spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying,
        But if Thou [shall give it], I pray Thee, hear me: I shall give Thee money for the field: take [it] of me, and I shall bury my dead there.
Gen 23:14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Gen 23:15 My lord, listen to me: the land [is worth] four hundred shekels of silver; what [is] that between me and Thee? Bury therefore Thy dead.
Gen 23:16 And Abraham listened to 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.
Gen 23:17
        And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah, which [was] before Mamre,
        the field and the cave which [was] in it, and all the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all the borders around, were made sure.
Gen 23:18 To Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all that entered the gate of his city.
Gen 23:19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre: which [is] Hebron in the land of Canaan.
Gen 23:20 And the field, and the cave that [is] in it were made sure to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, by the sons of Heth.
Gen 24:1 {Isaac and Rebekah}.
         And Abraham was old [and] far advanced in days: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all [things].
Gen 24:2 And Abraham said to his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray Thee, Thy hand under my thigh:
Gen 24:3 and I shall make Thee swear by the LORD, the God of Heaven and the God of the Earth,
        that Thou shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I dwell:
Gen 24:4 but Thou shall go to my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Gen 24:5 And the servant said to him, It may be the woman shall not be willing to follow me to this land:
        must I needs bring Thy son again to the land whence Thou came?
Gen 24:6 And Abraham said to him, Beware that Thou bring not my son there again.
Gen 24:7 The LORD, God of Heaven, who took me from my father's house,
        and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me,
        saying, To Thy seed I shall give this land: He shall send His Angel before Thee, and Thou shall take a wife for my son from thence.
Gen 24:8 And if the woman shall not be willing to follow Thee, then Thou shall be clear from this my oath; only bring not my son there again.
Gen 24:9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
Gen 24:10 And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed;
        (for all the goods of his master [were] in his hands): and he arose, and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
Gen 24:11 And he made his camels to kneel down outside the city by a well of water,
        at the time of the evening, the time when women go out to draw [water].
Gen 24:12 And he said, LORD, God of my master Abraham, I pray Thee, prosper me this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Gen 24:13 Behold, I stand [here] by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
Gen 24:14 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 shall give Thy camels drink also: [let the same be] she [that] Thou have appointed for Thy servant Isaac;
        and by that shall I know that Thou have shown kindness to my master.
Gen 24:15
        And it came to pass before he had done speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out,
        who was born to Bethuel son of Milcah, Nahor's wife, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Gen 24:16 And the damsel [was] very nice to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her{intercourse}:
        and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Gen 24:17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray Thee, drink a little water from Thy pitcher.
Gen 24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord. And she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Gen 24:19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I shall draw [water] for Thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
Gen 24:20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw [water], and drew for all his camels.
Gen 24:21 And the man, wondering at her, held his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous, or not.
Gen 24:22 And it came to pass as the camels had done drinking,
        that the man took a golden ring of a bekah{half a shekel} weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold;
Gen 24:23 and said, Whose daughter [are] Thou? Tell me, I pray Thee: is there room [in] Thy father's house for us to lodge in?
Gen 24:24 And she said to him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
Gen 24:25 And she said to him, We have both straw and fodder enough, and room to lodge in.
Gen 24:26 And the man bowed his head, and worshiped the LORD.
Gen 24:27 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, God of my master Abraham, who has not left my master destitute of His mercy and His truth:
        I [being] in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren!
Gen 24:28 And the damsel ran, and told these words to her mother's house.
Gen 24:29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban: and Laban ran out to the man, to the fountain.
Gen 24:30
        And it came to pass, when he saw the ring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister,
        saying, Thus spoke the man to me; that he came to the man; and behold, he stood by the camels at the fountain.
Gen 24:31 And he said, Come in, Thou blessed of the LORD; why stand Thou outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Gen 24:32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and fodder for the camels,
        and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that [were] with him.
Gen 24:33 And there was set [food] before him to eat: but he said, I shall not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
Gen 24:34 And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant.
Gen 24:35 And the LORD has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great:
        and He has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.
Gen 24:36 And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old: and to him has He given all that he has.
Gen 24:37 My master made me swear, saying, Thou shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Gen 24:38 but Thou shall go to my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
Gen 24:39 And I said to my master, It may be the woman shall not follow me.
Gen 24:40 And he said to me, The LORD, before whom I walk, shall send His Angel with Thee,
        and prosper Thy way; and Thou shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house.
Gen 24:41 Then shall Thou be clear from [this] my oath, when Thou come to my kindred;
          and if they give not Thee [one], Thou shall be clear from my oath.
Gen 24:42 And I came this day to the fountain, and said, LORD, God of my master Abraham,
        if now Thou do prosper my way which I go.
Gen 24:43 Behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and it shall be, that when the virgin comes forth to draw [water],
        and I say to her, Give me, I pray Thee, a little water of Thy pitcher to drink;
Gen 24:44 and she said to me, Both drink Thou, and I shall also draw for Thy camels:
        [let] she [be] the woman whom the LORD has pointed out for my master's son.
Gen 24:45 And before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder;
        and she went down to the fountain, and drew [water]: and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray Thee.
Gen 24:46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her [shoulder], and said,
        Drink, and I shall give Thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
Gen 24:47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [are] Thou? And she said,
        The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the ring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
Gen 24:48 And I bowed my head, and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, God of my master Abraham,
        who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.
Gen 24:49 And now if you shall 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.
Gen 24:50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from the LORD: we cannot speak to Thee bad or good.
Gen 24:51 Behold, Rebekah [is] before Thee, take [her], and go, and let her be Thy master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken.
Gen 24:52
        And it came to pass, that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshiped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the ground.
Gen 24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave [them] to Rebekah:
        he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
Gen 24:54 And they ate and drank, he and the men that [were] with him,
          and tarried all night; and they rose in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.
Gen 24:55 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.
Gen 24:56 And he said to them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD has prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.
Gen 24:57 And they said, We shall call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
Gen 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her,
        Will Thou go with this man? And she said, I shall go.
Gen 24:59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Gen 24:60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her,
        Thou [are] our sister, be Thou [the mother] of myriads of thousands, and let Thy seed possess the gate of those who hate them.
Gen 24:61 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.
Gen 24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
Gen 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at evening: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold, the camels [were] coming.
Gen 24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel.
Gen 24:65 For she [had] said to the servant, What man [is] this that walks in the field to meet us?
        And the servant [had] said, It [is] my master: therefore she took a veil and covered herself.
Gen 24:66 And the servant told Isaac all [things] that he had done.
Gen 24:67 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].

Gen 25:1 {The sons of Keturah}.
        Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.
Gen 25:2 And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Gen 25:3 And Jokshan begot Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim and Leummim.
Gen 25:4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the sons of Keturah.
Gen 25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
Gen 25:6 But to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son,
        (while he yet lived) eastward, to the east country.
Gen 25:7 
        And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred seventy five years.
Gen 25:8 Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of days]; and was gathered to his people.
Gen 25:9 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;
Gen 25:10 the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
Gen 25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that GOD blessed his son Isaac: and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
Gen 25:12 
        And these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondmaid, bore to Abraham.
Gen 25:13 And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names,
        according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Gen 25:14 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Gen 25:15 Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Gen 25:16 these [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names,
        by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
Gen 25:17
        And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael; a hundred thirty seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his people.
Gen 25:18 And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as Thou go towards Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all his brethren.

Gen 25:19 {Jacob and Esau}.
        And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac.
Gen 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah [as] wife,
          (the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian).
Gen 25:21 And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren:
           and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Gen 25:22 And the sons struggled together within her: and she said,
        If [it is] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
Gen 25:23 And the LORD said to her,
        Two nations [are] in Thy womb,
         and two manners of peoples shall be separated from Thy bowels:
         and [one] people shall be stronger than [the other] people;
         and the greater shall serve the lesser. [Rom 9:12]
Gen 25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, [there were] twins in her womb.
Gen 25:25 And the first was born ruddy, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau.
Gen 25:26 And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob:
        and Isaac [was] sixty years old when she bore them.
Gen 25:27
        And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] an upright man dwelling in tents.
Gen 25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was in [his] mouth: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Gen 25:29 And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint.
Gen 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray Thee, with this red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
Gen 25:31 And Jacob said, Sell to me this day Thy birth-right.
Gen 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?
Gen 25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob.
Gen 25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birth-right.

Gen 26:1 {A wife confused for a sister 3}.
        And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.
        And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines to Gerar.
Gen 26:2 And the LORD appeared to him, and said, Go not down into Egypt: dwell in the land which I shall tell Thee of.
Gen 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I shall be with Thee, and shall bless Thee: for to Thee, and to Thy seed I shall give all these countries,
        and I shall perform the oath which I swore to Abraham Thy father.
Gen 26:4 And I shall increase your seed like the stars of the heavens, and I shall give to your seed all these lands.
        And in Thy seed shall all the nations of the Earth be blessed, [Gen 22:18 Gal 3:8]
Gen 26:5 because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My Commandments, My Statutes, and My Laws.
Gen 26:6
        And Isaac lived in Gerar.
Gen 26:7 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] nice to look upon.
Gen 26:8
        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.
Gen 26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, surely she [is] Thy wife: and how said Thou, She [is] my sister?
        And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I should die on her account.
Gen 26:10 And Abimelech said, What [is] this Thou have done to us?
        One of the people might lightly have lain with Thy wife,
        and Thou would have brought guiltiness upon us.
Gen 26:11 And Abimelech charged all [his] people, saying, he who touches this man or his wife dying, he shall die.
Gen 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundred-fold: and the LORD blessed him.
Gen 26:13 And the man became great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great.
Gen 26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and very many servants: and the Philistines envied him.
Gen 26:15 For all the wells which his father's servants had dig in the days of Abraham his father,
        the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with dust.
Gen 26:16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us: for Thou are much mightier than we.
Gen 26:17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Gen 26:18 {The Covenant of Isaac}.
        And Isaac dig again the wells of water which they had dig 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.
Gen 26:19 And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Gen 26:20 And the herdsmen of Gerar contended with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, The water [is] ours:
        and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
Gen 26:21 And they dig another well, and contended for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah{Opposition}.
Gen 26:22 And he removed from thence, and dig another well; and for that they did not contend:
        and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said,
        For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Gen 26:23 And he went up from thence to Beer-Sheba.
Gen 26:24 And the LORD appeared to him the same night, and said,
        I [AM] the God of Abraham Thy father: fear not, for I [AM] with Thee,
        and shall bless Thee, and multiply Thy seed for My servant Abraham's sake.
Gen 26:25 And he built an Altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD,
        and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants dig a well.
Gen 26:26
        Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the captain of his army.
Gen 26:27 And Isaac said to them, Why come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
Gen 26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with Thee: and we said,
        Let there be now an oath between us, between us and Thee, and let us make a Covenant with Thee;
Gen 26:29 that Thou shall do us no hurt, as we have not touched Thee, and as we have done to Thee nothing but good,
        and have sent Thee away in peace: Thou [are] now the blessed of the LORD.
Gen 26:30 And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Gen 26:31 And they rose early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Gen 26:32
        And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came and told him concerning the well which they had dig, and said to him, We have found water.
Gen 26:33 And he called it Shebah{Sheba}: therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba{Well of oath} to this day.

Gen 26:34
        And Esau was forty years old when he took for a wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite,
        and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Gen 26:35 And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah.
Gen 27:1 {The blessing of Isaac}.
        And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see,
        he called Esau his eldest son, and said to him, my son: and he said to him, Behold me.
Gen 27:2 And he said, Behold now, I [am] old, I know not the day of my death.
Gen 27:3 And now take, I pray Thee, Thy weapons, Thy quiver and Thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;
Gen 27:4 and make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring [it] to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless Thee before I die.
Gen 27:5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son; and Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring it.
Gen 27:6
        And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard Thy father speak to Esau Thy brother, saying,
Gen 27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless Thee before the LORD, before my death.
Gen 27:8 And now, my son, obey my voice, according to that which I command Thee.
Gen 27:9 Go now to the flock, and bring me from thence two good kids of the goats;
        and I shall make them savoury food for Thy father, such as he loves.
Gen 27:10 And Thou shall bring [it] to Thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless Thee before his death.
Gen 27:11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man.
Gen 27:12 My father perhaps shall feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
Gen 27:13 And his mother said to him, upon me [be] Thy curse, my son; only obey my voice, and go, bring them to me.
Gen 27:14 And he went, and took, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
Gen 27:15 And Rebekah took goodly clothing of her eldest son Esau, which was with her in the house, and put it upon Jacob her younger son.
Gen 27:16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth part of his neck.
Gen 27:17 And she gave the savoury food, and the bread which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Gen 27:18
        And he came to his father, and said, my father: and he said, Behold me; who [are] Thou, my son?
Gen 27:19 And Jacob said to his father, I [am] Esau Thy first-born; I have done according as Thou bade me:
        arise, I pray Thee, sit and eat of my venison, that Thy soul may bless me.
Gen 27:20 And Isaac said to his son, How [is it] that Thou have found [it] so quickly, my son?
        And he said, Because the LORD Thy God brought [it] to me.
Gen 27:21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray Thee, that I may feel Thee, my son, whether Thou [are] my very son Esau, or not.
Gen 27:22 And Jacob went near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
Gen 27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: So he blessed him.
Gen 27:24 And he said, [Are] Thou my very son Esau? And he said, I [am].
Gen 27:25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I shall eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless Thee.
        And he brought [it] near to him, and he ate: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Gen 27:26 And his father Isaac said to him,
        Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Gen 27:27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said,
        See, the smell of my son [is] as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
Gen 27:28 And may God give Thee of the dew of Heaven,
        and the fatness of the Earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
Gen 27:29 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 curses Thee, and blessed [be] he who blesses Thee.
Gen 27:30
        And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob,
        and Jacob had yet scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Gen 27:31 And he also had made savoury food, and brought it to his father; and said to his father,
        Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that Thy soul may bless me.
Gen 27:32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who [are] Thou? And he said, I [am] Thy son, Thy first-born Esau.
Gen 27:33 And Isaac trembled exceedingly, and he said, Who? Where [is] he who has taken venison, and brought [it] me,
        and I have eaten of all before Thou came, and have blessed him? Yes, [and] he shall be blessed.
Gen 27:34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceedingly bitter cry,
        and said to his father, Bless me, me also, my father.
Gen 27:35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtlety, and has taken away Thy blessing.
Gen 27:36 And he said, Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has took me by the heel twice: he took away my birth-right;
        and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have Thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Gen 27:37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him Thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants;
        and with grain and new wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now to Thee, my son?
Gen 27:38
        And Esau said to his father, Have Thou but one blessing, my father?
        Bless me, me also, my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Gen 27:39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him,
        Behold, Thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the Earth, and of the dew of Heaven from above;
Gen 27:40 by Thy sword shall Thou live, and shall serve Thy brother:
        and it shall be, when Thou shall have the dominion,
        that Thou shall break his yoke from off Thy neck.
Gen 27:41 {The exile of Jacob}.
        And Esau hated Jacob, because of the blessing with which his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart,
        The days of mourning for my father draw near; then shall I slay my brother Jacob.
Gen 27:42 And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son,
        and said to him, Behold, Thy brother Esau, as concerning Thee, comforts himself, [purposing] to kill Thee.
Gen 27:43 And now, my son, obey my voice: and arise, flee Thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
Gen 27:44 and tarry with him a few days, until Thy brother's fury shall turn away;
Gen 27:45 until Thy brother's anger shall turn away from Thee, and he shall forget [that] which Thou have done to him: then I shall send, and bring Thee from thence.
        Why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
Gen 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I [am] weary of my life, because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of Heth,
        such as these [who are] of the daughters of the land, what good-will my life do me?
Gen 28:1
        And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Gen 28:2 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.
Gen 28:3 And God Almighty bless Thee, and make Thee fruitful, and multiply Thee, that Thou may be a multitude of peoples;
Gen 28:4 and give Thee the blessing of Abraham, to Thee, and to Thy seed with Thee; that Thou may inherit the land of Thy sojournings, which GOD gave to Abraham.
Gen 28:5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban,
        (son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother).
Gen 28:6 And 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 shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Gen 28:7 and that Jacob obeyed his father, and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram;
Gen 28:8 And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of Isaac his father;
Gen 28:9 then went Esau to Ishmael, and took to the wives which he had, Mahalath (the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth), to be his wife.

Gen 28:10 {Jacob's Ladder}.
        And Jacob went out from Beer-Sheba, and went towards Haran.
Gen 28:11 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 bolsters, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Gen 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder set upon the Earth, and the top of it reached to Heaven:
        and behold, the Angels of GOD ascending and descending on it.
Gen 28:13 And behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I [AM] the LORD, God of Abraham Thy father, and the God of Isaac:
        the land on which Thou lie, to Thee I shall give it, and to Thy seed.
Gen 28:14 And Thy seed shall be as the dust of the Earth; and Thou shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south:
        and in Thee and in Thy seed all the families of the Earth shall be blessed. [Act 3:25]
Gen 28:15 And behold, I [AM] with Thee, and shall keep Thee in all [places] where Thou go, and shall bring Thee again into this land:
        for I shall not leave Thee, until I have done [that] which I have declared to Thee.
Gen 28:16
        And Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, Surely, the LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not;
Gen 28:17 and he was afraid, and said, How tremendous [is] this place! This [is] no other but the House of GOD, and this [is] the Gate of Heaven.
Gen 28:18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put [for] his bolsters, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that place Beth-El: but the name of that city [was called] Luz at the first.
Gen 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If GOD shall be with me, and shall keep me in this way that I go, and shall give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Gen 28:21 so that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my GOD.
Gen 28:22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be [the] House of GOD: and of all that Thou shall give me, I shall surely give the tenth to Thee.

Gen 29:1 {Jacob and Rachel}.
        And Jacob lifted his feet, and went into the land of the sons of the east.
Gen 29:2 And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, 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.
Gen 29:3 And there were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the sheep,
        and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
Gen 29:4 And Jacob said to them, my brethren, whence [are] ye? And they said, We [are] from Haran.
Gen 29:5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son{grandson} of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
Gen 29:6 And he said to them, [Is] he well? And they said, he [is] well: and behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
Gen 29:7 And he said, Behold, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it] time that the cattle should be collected: water ye the sheep, and go [and] feed [them].
Gen 29:8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are collected, and [until] they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
Gen 29:9 And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she [was] a shepherdess.
Gen 29:10
        And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban his mother's brother,
        and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother; that Jacob went near,
        and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
Gen 29:11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Gen 29:12 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.
Gen 29:13 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 words.
Gen 29:14
          And Laban said to him, Surely, Thou [are] my bone and my flesh: and he abode with him the space of a month.
Gen 29:15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because Thou [are] my brother{relative}, should Thou therefore serve me for naught? Tell me, what [shall] Thy wages [be]?
Gen 29:16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.
Gen 29:17 And Leah [was] tender-eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well-favoured.
Gen 29:18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I shall serve Thee seven years for Rachel Thy younger daughter.
Gen 29:19 And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to Thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
Gen 29:20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.
Gen 29:21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife (for my days are fulfilled) that I may go in to her.
Gen 29:22 And Laban assembled all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Gen 29:23
        And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
Gen 29:24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah, Zilpah his maid [for] a handmaid.
Gen 29:25
        And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was] Leah: and he said to Laban,
        What [is] this Thou have done to me? Did I not serve with Thee for Rachel? Why then have Thou deceived me?
Gen 29:26 And Laban said, it must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born.
Gen 29:27 Fulfil her week, and we shall give Thee this also, for the service which Thou shall serve with me yet seven other years.
Gen 29:28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter, for a wife also.
Gen 29:29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her maid.
Gen 29:30 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Gen 29:31 {Jacob's children}.
        And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] less loved, He opened her womb: but Rachel [was] barren.
Gen 29:32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reu-ben{Reuben}: for she said, Surely, the LORD has looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband shall love me.
Gen 29:33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard that I [was] hated, He has therefore given me this [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
Gen 29:34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time shall my husband joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
Gen 29:35 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now shall I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah, and left bearing.
Gen 30:1
        And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no [children], Rachel envied her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me sons, or else I die.
Gen 30:2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said, [Am] I in [the] stead of GOD, who has withheld from Thee the fruit of the womb?
Gen 30:3 And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in to her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also bear [children] by her.
Gen 30:4 And she gave him Bilhah, her handmaid, for a wife: and Jacob went in to her.
Gen 30:5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Gen 30:6 And Rachel said, GOD has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son: therefore she called his name Dan.
Gen 30:7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Gen 30:8 And Rachel said, With struggles of GOD, have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
Gen 30:9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah, her maid, and gave her Jacob for a wife.
Gen 30:10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob a son.
Gen 30:11 And Leah said, A triumph comes: and she called his name Gad.
Gen 30:12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob a second son.
Gen 30:13 And Leah said, Happy [am] I, for the daughters shall call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
Gen 30:14
        And Reuben went, in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah.
        And Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray Thee, of Thy son's mandrakes.
Gen 30:15 And she said to her, [Is it] a small matter that Thou have taken my husband? And would Thou take away my son's mandrakes also?
        And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with Thee tonight for Thy son's mandrakes.
Gen 30:16 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me;
        for surely I have hired Thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
Gen 30:17
        And GOD listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son.
Gen 30:18 And Leah said, GOD has given me my reward, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
Gen 30:19 And Leah conceived again, and bore Jacob the sixth son.
Gen 30:20 And Leah said, GOD has endowed me [with] a good dower; now shall my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
Gen 30:21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah{Judgment}.
Gen 30:22 And GOD remembered Rachel, and GOD listened to her, and opened her womb.
Gen 30:23 And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, GOD has taken away my reproach.
Gen 30:24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

Gen 30:25 {The blemished flock}.
        And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
Gen 30:26 Give me My wives and my children, for whom I have served Thee, and let me go: for Thou know my service which I have done Thee.
Gen 30:27 And Laban said to him, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience, that the LORD has blessed me for Thy sake.
Gen 30:28 And he said, Appoint me Thy wages, and I shall give [it].
Gen 30:29 And he said to him, Thou know how I have served Thee, and how Thy cattle were with me.
Gen 30:30 For [it was] little which Thou had before I [came], and it is [now] increased to a multitude; and the LORD has blessed Thee at my foot{coming}:
        and now when shall I provide for my own house also?
Gen 30:31 And he said, What shall I give Thee? And Jacob said, Thou shall not give me anything; if Thou shall do this thing for me, I shall again feed [and] keep Thy flock.
Gen 30:32 I shall 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.
Gen 30:33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before Thy face: every that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats,
        and brown among the sheep, that shall be accounted stolen with me.
Gen 30:34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to Thy word.
Gen 30:35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted;
        every one that had [some] white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hands of his sons.
Gen 30:36 And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.
Gen 30:37
        And Jacob took to him rods of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which [was] in the rods.
Gen 30:38 And he set the rods, which he had peeled, before the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs, when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
Gen 30:39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth flocks ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Gen 30:40 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban:
        and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban's flock.
Gen 30:41
        And it came to pass, whenever the stronger flock conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
Gen 30:42 But when the flock were feeble, he put [them] not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Gen 30:43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
Gen 31:1
        And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that [was] our father's; and of [that] which [was] our father's has he obtained all this glory.
Gen 31:2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and behold, it [was] not towards him as yesterday and before.
Gen 31:3 And the LORD said to Jacob, Return to the land of Thy fathers, and to Thy kindred; and I shall be with Thee.
Gen 31:4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field to his flock,
Gen 31:5 and GOD said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it [is] not towards me as before: but the God of my father has been with me.
Gen 31:6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
Gen 31:7 And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times: but GOD let him not to hurt me.
Gen 31:8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be Thy wages; then all the flock bore speckled: and if he said thus,
        The ring-streaked shall be Thy hire; then all the flock bore ring-streaked.
Gen 31:9 And GOD has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.
Gen 31:10
        And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream,
        and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flock [were] ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
Gen 31:11 And the Angel of GOD spoke to me in a dream, [saying], Jacob! And I said, Behold me.
Gen 31:12 And He said, Lift up now Thy eyes and see, all the rams which leap upon the flock [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban does to Thee.
Gen 31:13 I [AM] the God of Beth-El, where Thou anointed the pillar, [and] where Thou vowed to me a vow: now arise, depart from this land, and return to the land of Thy kindred.
Gen 31:14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, [Is there] yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Gen 31:15 Are we not counted by him as foreigners; for he has sold us, and has quite consumed also our money.
Gen 31:16 For all the riches which GOD has taken from our father, that [is] ours, and our sons': now then whatever GOD has said to Thee, do.
Gen 31:17
        Then Jacob arose, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
Gen 31:18 and he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gained, the cattle of his getting, which he had gained in Padan-Aram; to go to Isaac, his father, in the land of Canaan.
Gen 31:19 And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel had stolen the teraphim that [were] her father's.
Gen 31:20 And Jacob stole away the heart{unawares} to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he was about to depart.
Gen 31:21 So he fled with all that he had; and he arose, and passed over the river, and set his face [towards] the Mount Gilead.
Gen 31:22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Gen 31:23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey: and they overtook him in the Mount Gilead.
Gen 31:24 And GOD came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream by night, and He said to him, Take heed that Thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Gen 31:25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the Mount: and Laban, with his brethren, pitched in the Mount Gilead.
Gen 31:26 And Laban said to Jacob, What have Thou done, that Thou have stolen away the heart{unawares} to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives [taken] with the sword?
Gen 31:27 Why did Thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent Thee away with mirth, and with songs, with timbrel, and with harp?
Gen 31:28 And have not let me to kiss my sons, and my daughters? Thou have now done foolishly in [so] doing.
Gen 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke to me yesternight, saying, Take Thou heed that Thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Gen 31:30 And now, [though] Thou would needs be gone, because Thou did earnestly long after Thy father's house; [yet] why have Thou stolen my gods?
Gen 31:31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, It may be Thou would take Thy daughters from me by force.
Gen 31:32 With whomsoever Thou find Thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern Thou what [is] Thy with me, and take [it] to Thee: for Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
Gen 31:33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maid-servants' tents; but he found [them] not. Then he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
Gen 31:34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found [them] not.
Gen 31:35 And she said to her father, Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before Thee; for the custom of women [is] upon me. And he searched, but found not the teraphim.
Gen 31:36
        And Jacob was wroth, and chid with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What [is] my trespass? What [is] my sin, that Thou have so eagerly pursued after me?
Gen 31:37 Whereas Thou have searched all my stuff, what have Thou found of all Thy household-stuff? Set [it] here before my brethren, and Thy brethren, that they may judge between us both.
Gen 31:38 These 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.
Gen 31:39 That which was torn by beasts, I brought not to Thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand did Thou require it, [whether] stolen by day, or stolen by night.
Gen 31:40 I have been; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from my eyes.
Gen 31:41 {The stones of Galeed}.
        Thus have I been twenty years in Thy house: I served Thee fourteen years for Thy two daughters, and six years for Thy flock: and Thou have changed my wages ten times.
Gen 31:42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had been with me,
        surely Thou had now sent me away empty. GOD has seen my affliction, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked [Thee] yesternight.
Gen 31:43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, [These] daughters [are] my daughters, and [these] sons [are] my sons, and [these] flock [are] my flock, and all that Thou see [is] mine;
        and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their sons which they have borne?
Gen 31:44 And now come Thou, let us make a Covenant, I and Thou; and let it be for a witness between me and Thee.
Gen 31:45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
Gen 31:46 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap: and they ate there upon the heap.
Gen 31:47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha{heap of testimony}: and Jacob called it Galeed{witness heap}.
Gen 31:48 And Laban said, This heap [is] a witness between me and Thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed.
Gen 31:49 And Mizpah{watch-tower}; for he said, May the LORD watch between me and Thee, when we are absent one from another.
Gen 31:50 If Thou shall afflict my daughters, or if Thou shall take [other] wives besides my daughters; no man [is] with us; See, GOD [is] witness between me and Thee.
Gen 31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold [this] pillar, which I have cast between me and Thee;
Gen 31:52 this heap [be] witness, and [this] pillar [be] witness, that I shall not pass over this heap to Thee, and that Thou shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
Gen 31:53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
Gen 31:54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the Mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and tarried all night in the Mount.
Gen 31:55
        And early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned to his place.
Gen 32:1
        And Jacob went on his way, and the Angels of GOD met him.
Gen 32:2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is the] Camp of GOD: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim{two camps}.

Gen 32:3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Gen 32:4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thy servant Jacob said thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now.
Gen 32:5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in Thy eyes.
Gen 32:6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to Thy brother Esau, and also he is coming to meet Thee, four hundred men with him.
Gen 32:7 And Jacob was greatly afraid, and distressed: and he divided the people that [were] with him, and the flocks, and herds, and camels, into two bands;
Gen 32:8 and said, If Esau shall come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left, shall escape.
Gen 32:9 And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who said to me,
        Return to Thy country, and to Thy kindred, and I shall deal well with Thee;
Gen 32:10 I [am] not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou have shown to Thy servant: for with my staff I passed over this the Jordan, and now I have become two bands.
Gen 32:11 Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he shall come and smite me, [and] the mother with the sons.
Gen 32:12 And Thou said, I shall surely do Thee good, and make Thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Gen 32:13 {Jacob's gifts to Esau}.
        And he lodged there that night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau, his brother;
Gen 32:14 two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Gen 32:15 thirty milking camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
Gen 32:16 And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Gen 32:17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau, my brother, meets Thee, and asks Thee, saying, Whose [are] Thou? And where go Thou? And whose [are] these before Thee?
Gen 32:18 Then Thou shall say, They [are] Thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a present sent to my lord Esau: and behold also he [is] behind us.
Gen 32:19 And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him.
Gen 32:20 And say ye moreover, Behold, Thy servant Jacob [is] behind us.
        For he said, I shall appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I shall see his face; perhaps he shall accept of me.
Gen 32:21 So the present went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Gen 32:22 {Jacob wrestles}.
        And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
Gen 32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had.
Gen 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day.
Gen 32:25 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.
Gen 32:26 And He said, Let Me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I shall not let Thee go, except Thou bless me.
Gen 32:27 And He said to him, What [is] Thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Gen 32:28 And He said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for Thou have striven with GOD, and with men, and have prevailed.
Gen 32:29 And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray Thee, Thy name. And He said, why [is] it [that] Thou do ask after My name? And He blessed him there.
Gen 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel{Penuel}: for I have seen GOD face to face, and my soul is preserved.
Gen 32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh.
Gen 32:32 Therefore the sons of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrunk, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh,
        to this day; because He touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrunk.
Gen 33:1 {Jacob's reconciliation with Esau}.
        And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men.
        And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
Gen 33:2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
Gen 33:3 And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Gen 33:4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
Gen 33:5 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 has graciously given to Thy servant.
Gen 33:6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Gen 33:7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Gen 33:8 And he said, What [mean] Thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, [these are] to find grace in the eyes of my lord.
Gen 33:9 And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep what Thou have to thyself.
Gen 33:10 And Jacob said, No, I pray Thee, if now I have found grace in Thy eyes, 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 have been pleased with me.
Gen 33:11 Take, I pray Thee, my blessing that is brought to Thee; because GOD has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough: and he urged him, and he took [it].
Gen 33:12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I shall go before Thee.
Gen 33:13 And he said to him, my lord knows that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me, and if men should over-drive them one day, all the flock shall die.
Gen 33:14 Let my lord, I pray Thee, pass over before his servant: and I shall lead on slowly, according to the steps of the work that are before me and according to the steps of the children; until I come to my lord to Seir.
Gen 33:15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with Thee [some] of the people that [are] with me. And he said, What needs it? Let me find grace in the eyes of my lord.
Gen 33:16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Gen 33:17 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.
Gen 33:18 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.
Gen 33:19 And he bought a part of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
Gen 33:20 And he erected there an Altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Gen 34:1 {The rape of Dinah}.
        And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Gen 34:2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and raped her.
Gen 34:3 And his soul cleaved to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke to her heart of the damsel.
Gen 34:4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel for a wife.
Gen 34:5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter;
         (now his sons were with his cattle in the field): and Jacob held his peace until they had come.
Gen 34:6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to commune with him.
Gen 34:7 And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard [it]: and the men were grieved,
        and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
Gen 34:8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter: I pray you give her to him for a wife.
Gen 34:9 And make ye a marriage with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
Gen 34:10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye in it, and get possessions in it.
Gen 34:11 And Shechem said to her father, and to her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say to me, I shall give.
Gen 34:12 Ask me never so much dower and gift, and I shall give according as ye shall say to me: but give me the damsel for a wife.
Gen 34:13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, (because he had defiled Dinah their sister).
Gen 34:14 And they said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised: for that [would be] a reproach to us.
Gen 34:15 But in this shall we consent to you: If ye shall be as we [are], that every male of you shall be circumcised;
Gen 34:16 then shall we give our daughters to you, and we shall take your daughters to us, and we shall dwell with you, and we shall become one people.
Gen 34:17 But if ye shall not listen to us, to be circumcised; then shall we take our daughter, and we shall be gone.
Gen 34:18 And their words pleased in the eyes of Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
Gen 34:19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more honourable than all the house of his father.
Gen 34:20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
Gen 34:21 These men [are] peaceable with us, therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it: for the land,
        behold, [it is] large enough for them: let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
Gen 34:22 Only herein, shall the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us shall be circumcised, as they [are] circumcised.
Gen 34:23 [Shall] not their cattle, and their substance, and every beast of theirs [be] ours? Only let us consent to them, and they shall dwell with us.
Gen 34:24 And to Hamor and to Shechem his son listened 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.
Gen 34:25
        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.
Gen 34:26 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.
Gen 34:27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city; because they had defiled their sister.
Gen 34:28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which [was] in the city, and that which [was] in the field.
Gen 34:29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and spoiled even all that [was] in the house.
Gen 34:30 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 assemble themselves against me, and slay me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Gen 34:31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister, as with a whore?

Gen 35:1 And GOD said to Jacob, Arise,
        go up to Beth-El, and dwell there: and make there an Altar to God,
        who appeared to Thee when Thou fled from the face of Esau Thy brother.
Gen 35:2 And Jacob said to 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.
Gen 35:3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth-El; and I shall make there an Altar to God,
        who answering me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
Gen 35:4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which [were] in their hand,
        and [the] rings which [were] in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth which [was] by Shechem.
Gen 35:5
        And they journeyed: and the terror of GOD was on the cities that [were] round them,
        and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Gen 35:6 And Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan (that is Beth-El);
        he and all the people that [were] with him.
Gen 35:7 And he erected there an Altar, and called the place Beth-El;
        because there GOD appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
Gen 35:8 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.

Gen 35:9 And GOD appeared to Jacob again when He came out of Padan-Aram; and blessed him.
Gen 35:10 And GOD said to him,
        Thy name [is] Jacob: Thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be Thy name; and he called his name Israel.
Gen 35:11 And GOD said to him,
        I [AM] God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring from Thee, and kings shall come out of Thy loins.
Gen 35:12 And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, to Thee I shall give it, and to Thy seed after Thee I shall give the land.
Gen 35:13 And GOD went up from him, in the place where He talked with him.
Gen 35:14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink-offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
Gen 35:15 And Jacob called the name of the place where GOD spoke with him, Beth-El.
Gen 35:16 {The birth of Benjamin}.
        And they departed from Beth-El; and there was but a little distance to come to Ephrath{Ephratah}: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
Gen 35:17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; Thou shall have this son also.
Gen 35:18 And it came to pass as her soul was in departing (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni{son of my sorrow}:
        but his father called him Benjamin{son of the right hand}.
Gen 35:19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath{Ephratah}, which [is] Beth-lehem.
Gen 35:20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that [is] the pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.
Gen 35:21 
        And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the Tower of Edar.
Gen 35:22 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:
Gen 35:23 the sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
Gen 35:24 the sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
Gen 35:25 and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
Gen 35:26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher.
        These [are] the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Padan-Aram.
Gen 35:27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kirjath-Arba (which [is] Hebron) where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Gen 35:28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred eighty years.
Gen 35:29 And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his people, [being] old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Gen 36:1 And these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.
Gen 36:2 Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan;
        Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter{granddaughter} of Zibeon the Hivite;
Gen 36:3 and Bashemath, Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
Gen 36:4 And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; and Bashemath bore Reuel;
Gen 36:5 And Aholibamah bore Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these [are] the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
Gen 36:6 And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts,
        and all his substance which he had acquired in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
Gen 36:7 For their riches were more than that they might dwell together: and the land wherein they were strangers could not sustain them, because of their cattle.
Gen 36:8 Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir: Esau [is] Edom.
Gen 36:9
        And these [are] the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites, in Mount Seir.
Gen 36:10 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.
Gen 36:11 And the sons of Eliphaz were, Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
Gen 36:12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bore to Eliphaz Amalek: these [were] the sons{grandsons} of Adah the wife of Esau.
Gen 36:13 And these [are] the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath the wife of Esau.

        [descendants] of Reuel, in the land of Edom: these [are] the sons{grandsons} of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
Gen 36:18 And these [are] the sons of Aholibamah the wife of Esau;
        Duke Jeush, Duke Jaalam, Duke Korah: these [were] the dukes, [descendants] of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the wife of Esau.
Gen 36:19 These [are] the sons of Esau (who [is] Edom) and these [are] their dukes.
Gen 36:20
        These [are] the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah.
Gen 36:21 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these [are] the dukes of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom.
Gen 36:22 And the sons of Lotan were Hori, and Hemam{Homam}: and Lotan's sister [was] Timna.
Gen 36:23 And the sons of Shobal [were] these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
Gen 36:24 And these [are] the sons of Zibeon; both Aiah and Anah;
        this [was that] Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
Gen 36:25 And the sons of Anah [were] these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
Gen 36:26 And these [are] the sons of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
Gen 36:27 The sons of Ezer [are] these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
Gen 36:28 The sons of Dishan [are] these; Uz, and Aran.
Gen 36:29 These [are] the dukes, [descendants] of the Horites; Duke Lotan, Duke Shobal, Duke Zibeon, Duke Anah,
Gen 36:30 Duke Dishon, Duke Ezer, Duke Dishan; these [are] the dukes, [descendants] of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.

Gen 36:31 And these [are] the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the sons of Israel.
Gen 36:32 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city [was] Dinhabah.
Gen 36:33 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
Gen 36:34 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanite reigned in his stead.
Gen 36:35 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.
Gen 36:36 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
Gen 36:37 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth [by] the river reigned in his stead.
Gen 36:38 And Saul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
Gen 36:39 And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead.
         And the name of his city [was] Pau;
          and his wife's name [was] Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
Gen 36:40 And these [are] the names of the dukes, [descendants] of Esau,
        according to their families, after their places, by their names; Duke Timna, Duke Alvah, Duke Jetheth,
Gen 36:41 Duke Aholibamah, Duke Elah, Duke Pinon,
Gen 36:42 Duke Kenaz, Duke Teman, Duke Mibzar,
Gen 36:43 Duke Magdiel, Duke Iram; these [are] the dukes of Edom,
        according to their habitations, in the land of their possession: he [is] Esau the father of the Edomites.

Gen 37:1
        And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan.
Gen 37:2 These [are] the generations of Jacob.
        Joseph [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren,
        and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives:
        and Joseph brought to his father their evil report.
Gen 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of [many] colours.
Gen 37:4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Gen 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Gen 37:6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
Gen 37:7 For behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright;
        and behold, your sheaves stood around and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Gen 37:8 And his brethren said to him, Shall Thou indeed reign over us?
        Or shall Thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words.
Gen 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more:
        and behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. [Rev 12:1]
Gen 37:10 And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, what [is] this dream that Thou have dreamed?
        Shall I and Thy mother and Thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to Thee to the Earth?
Gen 37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
Gen 37:12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
Gen 37:13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not Thy brethren feed [the flock] in Shechem?
        Come, and I shall send Thee to them. And he said to him, Behold me.
Gen 37:14 And he said to him, Go, I pray Thee, see whether it is well with Thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again.
        But he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Gen 37:15
        And a certain man found him, and behold [he was] wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seek Thou?
Gen 37:16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray Thee, where they feed [their flocks].
Gen 37:17 And the man said, They have departed hence: for I heard them say,
        Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren and found them in Dothan.
Gen 37:18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him.
Gen 37:19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer is coming.
Gen 37:20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit; and we shall say,
        Some evil animal has devoured him; and we shall see what shall become of his dreams.
Gen 37:21 And Reuben heard [it], and he delivered him from their hands: and said, Let us not kill his soul.
Gen 37:22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that [is] in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him;
        that he might deliver him from their hands, to bring him back to his father.
Gen 37:23 {Joseph is sold}.
        And it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat,
        [his] coat of [many] colours that [was] on him.
Gen 37:24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit [was] empty; [there was] no water in it.
Gen 37:25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead,
        with their camels bearing spicery, and balm, and myrrh, going to carry [them] down to Egypt.
Gen 37:26 And Judah said to his brethren, What profit [is it] if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood.
Gen 37:27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he [is] our brother, our flesh: and his brethren were content.
Gen 37:28 Then there passed by Midianites, merchants; and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit,
        and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty [pieces] of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Gen 37:29 And Reuben returned to the pit; and behold, Joseph [was] not in the pit: and he rent his clothes.
Gen 37:30 And he returned to his brethren, and said, The child [is] not: and I, where shall I go?
Gen 37:31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood.
Gen 37:32 And they sent the coat of [many] colours, and they brought [it] to their father;
        and said, This have we found: know now whether it [is] Thy son's coat or not.
Gen 37:33 And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son's coat; an evil animal has devoured him: Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
Gen 37:34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Gen 37:35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted;
        and he said, For I shall go down into Sheol{grave or underworld} to my son mourning: thus his father wept for him.
Gen 37:36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.

Gen 38:1 {Judah and Tamar}.
        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.
Gen 38:2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name [was] Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
Gen 38:3 And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
Gen 38:4 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
Gen 38:5 And she yet again conceived, and bore a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
Gen 38:6
        And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name [was] Tamar.
Gen 38:7 And Er, Judah's first-born, was evil in the eyes of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
Gen 38:8 And Judah said to Onan, Go in to Thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to Thy brother.
Gen 38:9 And Onan knew that the seed would not be his:
        and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
Gen 38:10 And what he did is evil in the eyes of the LORD: therefore He slew him also.
Gen 38:11 And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at Thy father's house,
        until Shelah my son shall be grown; (for he said, Lest perhaps he dies also as his brethren [did]): and Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
Gen 38:12
        And in process of time, the daughter of Shua Judah's wife died: and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Gen 38:13 And it was told to Tamar, saying, Behold, Thy father-in-law goes up to Timnath, to shear his sheep.
Gen 38:14 And she put off from her, her widow's garments, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place,
        which [is] by the way to Timnath: for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him for a wife.
Gen 38:15
        When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] a whore; because she had covered her face.
Gen 38:16 And he turned to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray Thee, let me have access to Thee; (for he knew not that she [was] his daughter-in-law):
        and she said, What will Thou give me, that Thou may have access to me?
Gen 38:17 And he said, I shall send [Thee] a kid from the flock: and she said, Will Thou give me a pledge, until Thou send [it]?
Gen 38:18 And he said, What pledge shall I give Thee? And she said, Thy signet, and Thy bracelets, and Thy staff that [is] in Thy hand:
        and he gave [them to] her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
Gen 38:19 And she arose and went her way and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Gen 38:20
        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.
Gen 38:21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, where [is] the harlot that [was] openly by the way? And they said, There was no harlot in this [place].
Gen 38:22 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].
Gen 38:23 And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and Thou have not found her.

Gen 38:24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told to Judah, saying, Tamar Thy daughter-in-law has played the whore;
        and also, behold she [is] pregnant by whoredom: and Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
Gen 38:25 When she [was] brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man whose these [are], [am] I pregnant:
        and she said, Discern, I pray Thee, whose [are] these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
Gen 38:26 And Judah acknowledged [them], and said She has been more righteous than I;
        because that I gave her not to Shelah my son: and he knew{intercourse} her again no more.
Gen 38:27
        And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that behold, twins [were] in her womb.
Gen 38:28 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.
Gen 38:29 And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out;
        and she said, How have Thou broken a breach for thyself? Therefore his name was called Pharez.
Gen 38:30 And afterwards came out his brother that had the scarlet thread upon his hand; and his name was called Zerah{rising}.

Gen 39:1 {The wife of Potiphar}.
        And Joseph has been brought down to Egypt: and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian,
        bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
Gen 39:2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man: and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Gen 39:3 And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Gen 39:4 And Joseph found grace in his eyes, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his hand.
Gen 39:5
        And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had,
        that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake: and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house, and in the field.
Gen 39:6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, except the bread which he ate; and Joseph was a goodly [person], and well-favoured.
Gen 39:7 And it came to pass after these, that his master's wife lifted up her eyes upon Joseph: and she said, Lie with me.
Gen 39:8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master knows not what [is] with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.
Gen 39:9 [There is] none greater in his house than I; neither has he kept back anything from me but Thee,
        because Thou [are] his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against GOD?
Gen 39:10
        And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he listened not to her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.
Gen 39:11 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.
Gen 39:12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and went out.
Gen 39:13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled out,
Gen 39:14 that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying,
        See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us: he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a great voice.
Gen 39:15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and went out.
Gen 39:16 And she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home.
Gen 39:17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which Thou have brought to us, came in to me to mock me.
Gen 39:18 And it came to pass, as I raised my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
Gen 39:19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying,
        After this manner did Thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
Gen 39:20 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.
Gen 39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him grace in the eyes of the keeper of the prison.
Gen 39:22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatever they did there, was done by him.
Gen 39:23 The keeper of the prison looked not to anything [that was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him: and [that] which he did the LORD made [it] to prosper.
Gen 40:1 {The butler and the baker}.
        And it came to pass after these, [that] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Gen 40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth with two of his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers.
Gen 40:3 And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
Gen 40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued [many] days in custody.
Gen 40:5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night,
        each man according to the interpretation of his dream; the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who [were] bound in the prison.
Gen 40:6 And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they [were] sad.
Gen 40:7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Why look ye [so] sad today?
Gen 40:8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it.
        And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to GOD? Tell me [them], I pray you.
Gen 40:9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
Gen 40:10 and on the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.
Gen 40:11 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.
Gen 40:12 And Joseph said to him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days;
Gen 40:13 yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up Thy head, and restore Thee to Thy place:
        and Thou shall deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when Thou were his butler.
Gen 40:14 But think on me when it shall be well with Thee, and show kindness to me,
        I pray Thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
Gen 40:15 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Gen 40:16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head.
Gen 40:17 And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of baked foods for Pharaoh; and the fowls ate them out of the basket upon my head.
Gen 40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three baskets [are] three days:
Gen 40:19 yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up Thy head from off Thee, and shall hang Thee on a tree; and the fowls shall eat Thy flesh from off Thee.
Gen 40:20
        And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants:
        and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
Gen 40:21 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Gen 40:22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Gen 40:23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

Gen 41:1 {Pharaoh's dream and famine}.
        And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river.
Gen 41:2 And behold, there came up out of the river seven well-favoured cows and fat-fleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
Gen 41:3 And behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed; and stood by the [other] cows upon the brink of the river.
Gen 41:4 And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven well-favoured and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
Gen 41:5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Gen 41:6 And behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
Gen 41:7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, [it was] a dream.
Gen 41:8
        And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt,
        and all its wise [men]: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none that could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Gen 41:9 Then spoke the chief butler to Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day.
Gen 41:10 And Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in custody in the captain of the guard's house, [both] me, and the chief baker.
Gen 41:11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he: we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Gen 41:12 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 interpreted.
Gen 41:13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: me he restored to my office, and him he hanged.
Gen 41:14 And Pharaoh sent and called Joseph,
        and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon:
        and he shaved [himself], and changed his clothing, and came before Pharaoh.
Gen 41:15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph,
        I have dreamed a dream, and [there is] none that can interpret it:
        and I have heard it said of Thee, [that] Thou can understand a dream to interpret it.
Gen 41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: GOD shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Gen 41:17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river.
Gen 41:18 And behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat-fleshed, and well-favoured; and they fed in a meadow.
Gen 41:19 And behold, seven other cows came out after them, poor, and very ill-favoured, and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
Gen 41:20 And the lean and the ill-favoured cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
Gen 41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill-favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Gen 41:22 And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.
Gen 41:23 And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Gen 41:24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told [this] to the magicians; but [there was] none that could explain [it] to me.
Gen 41:25 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is] one; GOD has showed Pharaoh what He [is] about to do.
Gen 41:26 The seven good cows [are] seven years; and the seven good ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one.
Gen 41:27 And the seven thin and ill-favoured cows that came up after them [are] seven years;
        and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
Gen 41:28 This [is] the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh: What GOD [is] about to do He shows to Pharaoh.
Gen 41:29 Behold, seven years of great plenty are coming throughout all the land of Egypt.
Gen 41:30 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;
Gen 41:31 and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following: for it [shall be] very grievous.
Gen 41:32 And for that the dream was doubled to Pharaoh twice; [it is] because the thing [is] established by GOD, and GOD shall shortly bring it to pass.
Gen 41:33 And now let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Gen 41:34 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.
Gen 41:35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh; and let them keep food in the cities.
Gen 41:36 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 may not perish through the famine.
Gen 41:37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Gen 41:38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find [such a man] as this [is], a man in whom [is] the Spirit of GOD?
Gen 41:39
        And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as GOD has shown Thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as Thou.
Gen 41:40 Thou shall be over my house, and according to Thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne shall I be greater than Thou.
Gen 41:41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set Thee over all the land of Egypt.
Gen 41:42 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;
Gen 41:43 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.
Gen 41:44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I [am] Pharaoh, and without Thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
Gen 41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah{treasury of the glorious rest};
        and he gave him for a wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On:
        and Joseph went over [all] the land of Egypt.
Gen 41:46 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.
Gen 41:47 And in the seven plenteous years the land brought forth by handfuls.
Gen 41:48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt,
        and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field which [was] around every city, he laid up in the same.
Gen 41:49 And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for [it was] without number.
Gen 41:50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came: which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bore to him.
Gen 41:51 And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For GOD, [said he], has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
Gen 41:52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: for GOD has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
Gen 41:53 And the seven years of plenteousness that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
Gen 41:54 And the seven years of famine began to come,
        according as Joseph had said: and the famine was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Gen 41:55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread:
        and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he said to you, do.
Gen 41:56 And the famine was upon all the face of the Earth; and Joseph opened all the store-houses,
        and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
Gen 41:57 And all the Earth came into Egypt to Joseph to buy [grain]; because the famine was distressing in all the Earth.
Gen 42:1 {Joseph and his brethren}.
        Now when Jacob saw that there was wheat in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
Gen 42:2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is wheat in Egypt: go down there, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
Gen 42:3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy grain in Egypt.
Gen 42:4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren: for he said, Lest perhaps mischief shall befall him.
Gen 42:5 And the sons of Israel came to buy [grain] among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Gen 42:6 And Joseph [was] the governor over the land, [and] he [it was] that sold to all the people of the land:
        and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed themselves before him [with] their faces to the land.
Gen 42:7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them;
        and he said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
Gen 42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
Gen 42:9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and he said to them,
        Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the land have ye come.
Gen 42:10 And they said to him, No, my lord, but to buy food have Thy servants come.
Gen 42:11 We [are] all one man's sons; we [are] true [men]; Thy servants are no spies.
Gen 42:12 And he said to them, No, but to see the nakedness of the land have ye come.
Gen 42:13 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.
Gen 42:14 And Joseph said to them, that [is] what I spoke to you, saying, Ye [are] spies.
Gen 42:15 By this ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother shall come here.
Gen 42:16 Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison,
        that your words may be proved, whether [there is any] truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye [are] spies.
Gen 42:17 And he put them all together into custody three days.
Gen 42:18 And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, and live; [for] I fear GOD.
Gen 42:19 If ye [are] true [men], let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison:
        go ye, carry wheat for the famine of your houses.
Gen 42:20 But bring your youngest brother to me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
Gen 42:21 And they said one to another, We [are] truly 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.
Gen 42:22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying,
        Do not sin against the young man; and ye would not hear? Therefore behold also his blood is required.
Gen 42:23 And they knew not that Joseph understood [them]; for he spoke to them by an interpreter.
Gen 42:24 And he turned away from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them,
        and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
Gen 42:25 But Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with grain, and to restore every man's money into his sack,
        and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he to them.
Gen 42:26 And they loaded their asses with the wheat, and departed thence.
Gen 42:27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass fodder in the lodging, he espied his money: for behold, it [was] in his sack's mouth.
Gen 42:28 And he said to his brethren, my money is restored; and see [it is] even in my sack:
        and their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What [is] this [that] GOD has done to us?
Gen 42:29 And they came to Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell them, saying,
Gen 42:30 The man [who is] the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
Gen 42:31 And we said to him, We [are] true [men]; we are no spies.
Gen 42:32 We [are] twelve brethren, sons of our father: one [is] not, and the youngest [is] this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Gen 42:33 And the man, the lord of the country, said to us,
        By this 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 depart.
Gen 42:34 And bring your youngest brother to me: then shall I know that ye [are] no spies,
        but [that] ye [are] true [men]: then shall I deliver to you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.
Gen 42:35
        And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man's bundle of money [was] in his sack;
        and when they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
Gen 42:36 And Jacob their father said to them, me have ye bereaved: Joseph [is] not, and Simeon [is] not,
        and ye shall take Benjamin [away]: all these [things] are against me.
Gen 42:37 And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to Thee: deliver him into my hand, and I shall bring him to Thee.
Gen 42:38 And he said, my son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead,
        and he is left alone: if mischief shall befall him by the way in which ye go, then shall ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
Gen 43:1
        And the famine [was] severe in the land.
Gen 43:2
        And it came to pass, when they had consumed the grain which they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
Gen 43:3 And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did solemnly protest to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be] with you.
Gen 43:4 If Thou shall send our brother with us, we shall go down and buy Thee food.
Gen 43:5 But if Thou shall not send him, we shall not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be] with you.
Gen 43:6 And Israel said, Why dealt ye [so] ill with me, [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
Gen 43:7 And they said, The man asked us strictly about us and our kindred, saying, [Is] your father yet alive? Have ye [another] brother?
        And we told him according to the tenor of these words: Could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
Gen 43:8 And Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the lad with me, and we shall arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and Thou, [and] also our little ones.
Gen 43:9 I shall be surety for him; of my hand shall Thou require him: if I bring him not to Thee, and set him before Thee, then let me bear the blame forever.
Gen 43:10 For except we had delayed, surely now we had returned this second time.
Gen 43:11 And their father Israel said to them, If [it must be] so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels,
        and carry to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
Gen 43:12 and take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks,
        carry [it] back in your hand; it may be it [was] an oversight.
Gen 43:13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man.
Gen 43:14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin: If I be bereaved, I [am] bereaved.
Gen 43:15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and arose, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Gen 43:16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to him who [was] over the household, Bring [these] men home, and slay, and make an animal ready: for [these] men shall dine with me at noon.
Gen 43:17 And the man did as Joseph commanded: and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
Gen 43:18 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 turn against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
Gen 43:19 And they came near to the man{steward} of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
Gen 43:20 and said, O my lord, we came down indeed at the first time to buy food.
Gen 43:21
        And it came to pass, when we came to the lodging, 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 back in our hand.
Gen 43:22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
Gen 43:23 And he said, Peace [be] to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out to them.
Gen 43:24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave [them] water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses fodder.
Gen 43:25 And they made ready the present for the coming of Joseph at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
Gen 43:26 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 ground.
Gen 43:27 And he asked them of [their] welfare, and said, [Is] your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? [Is] he yet alive?
Gen 43:28 And they answered, Thy servant, our father, [is] in good health, he [is] yet alive: and they bowed their heads and made obeisance.
Gen 43:29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son,
        and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, GOD be gracious to Thee, my son.
Gen 43:30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels yearned towards his brother: and he sought [where] to weep; and he entered into [his] chamber, and wept there.
Gen 43:31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
Gen 43:32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him,
        by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.
Gen 43:33 And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birth-right, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men wondered one at another.
Gen 43:34 And he took [and sent] messes to them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
Gen 44:1
        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.
Gen 44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his wheat money: and he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Gen 44:3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they, and their asses.
Gen 44:4 When they had gone out of the city, [and] were not [yet] far off, and Joseph said to his steward,
        Arise, follow after the men; and when Thou do overtake them, say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?
Gen 44:5 [Is] this not [it] in which my lord drinks, and by which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil in so doing.
Gen 44:6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.
Gen 44:7 And they said to him, Why said my lord these words?
         Let it not be that Thy servants should do according to this thing.
Gen 44:8 Behold, the money which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought back to Thee from the land of Canaan: how then should we steal from Thy lord's house silver or gold?
Gen 44:9 With whomsoever of Thy servants it shall be found, both let him die, and we also shall be my lord's bondmen.
Gen 44:10 And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according to your words: he with whom it shall be found, shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
Gen 44:11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Gen 44:12 And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Gen 44:13 Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
Gen 44:14 Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, (for he [was] yet there): and they fell before him on the ground.
Gen 44:15 And Joseph said to them, What deed [is] this that ye have done? Knew ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
Gen 44:16 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we justify ourselves?
        GOD has 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.
Gen 44:17 And he said, Let it not be that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant;
          and as for you, go in peace to your father.
Gen 44:18
        And Judah came near to him, and said, O my lord, let Thy servant, I pray Thee, speak a word in my lord's ears,
        and let not Thy anger burn against Thy servant; for Thou [are] even as Pharaoh.
Gen 44:19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
Gen 44:20 And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age,
        a little one: and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.
Gen 44:21 And Thou said to Thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him.
Gen 44:22 And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father; for [if] he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
Gen 44:23 And Thou said to Thy servants, Except your youngest brother shall come down with you, ye shall see no more my face.
Gen 44:24
        And it came to pass, when we came to Thy servant, my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Gen 44:25 And our father said, Go back; buy us a little food.
Gen 44:26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother shall be with us,
        then shall we go down; for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother shall [be] with us.
Gen 44:27 And Thy servant my father, said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons].
Gen 44:28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely, he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since.
Gen 44:29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief shall befall him, ye shall bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
Gen 44:30 And now, when I come to Thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; (and his soul is bound up in his soul).
Gen 44:31 It shall be, when he sees that the lad [is] not [with us], that he shall die:
        and Thy servants shall bring down the grey hairs of Thy servant our father, with sorrow to Sheol.
Gen 44:32 For Thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to Thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever.
Gen 44:33 And now, I pray Thee, let Thy servant abide instead of the lad, a servant to my lord; and let the lad return with his brethren.
Gen 44:34 For how shall I return to my father, and the lad [be] not with me? Lest perhaps I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Gen 45:1
        But 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 to his brethren.
Gen 45:2 And he wept aloud; and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Gen 45:3 And Joseph said to his brethren, I [am] Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
Gen 45:4 And Joseph said to his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you: and they came near. And he said, I [am] Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Gen 45:5 And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here; for GOD sent me before you to preserve life.
Gen 45:6 For these two years has the famine [been] in the land: and yet [there are] five years, in which [there shall] neither [be] tillage nor harvest.
Gen 45:7 And GOD sent me before you, to preserve for you a posterity in the Earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Gen 45:8 So now [it was] not ye [that] sent me here, but GOD: and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Gen 45:9 Haste ye, and return to my father, and say to him, Thus says Thy son Joseph, GOD has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me; delay not.
Gen 45:10 And Thou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and Thou shall be near to me, Thou, and Thy sons, and Thy sons' sons, and Thy flocks, and Thy herds, and all that Thou have.
Gen 45:11 And there shall I nourish Thee, (for yet [there are] five years of famine), lest Thou, and Thy household, and all that Thou have, should come to poverty.
Gen 45:12 And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth that speaks to you.
Gen 45:13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen: and ye shall haste, and bring down my father here.
Gen 45:14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Gen 45:15 And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
Gen 45:16 And the fame of this was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it [was] good in the eyes of Pharaoh and of [the] eyes of his servants.
Gen 45:17 {Israel's migration}.
        And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to Thy brethren, This do ye; load your beasts, and go, return to the land of Canaan;
Gen 45:18 and take your father, and your households, and come to me: and I shall give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
Gen 45:19 Now Thou are commanded, this do ye; take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Gen 45:20 Also regard not your furniture; for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.
Gen 45:21 And the sons of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Gen 45:22 To all of them he gave each man changes of clothing: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver, and five changes of clothing.
Gen 45:23 And to his father he sent after this [manner]; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with wheat and bread, and food for his father by the way.
Gen 45:24 But he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that ye contend not by the way.
Gen 45:25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father,
Gen 45:26 and told him, saying, Joseph [is] yet alive, and he [is] governor over all the land of Egypt. And [Jacob's] heart fainted, for he believed them not.
Gen 45:27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Gen 45:28 And Israel said, [It is] enough; Joseph my son [is] yet alive: I shall go and see him before I die.
Gen 46:1
        And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-Sheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Gen 46:2 And GOD said to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob: and he said, Behold me.
Gen 46:3 And He said, I [AM] God, the God of Thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I shall there make of Thee a great nation.
Gen 46:4 I shall go down with Thee into Egypt; and I shall also surely bring Thee up [again]: and Joseph shall put his hand upon Thy eyes.
Gen 46:5 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.
Gen 46:6 And they took their cattle, and their goods which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Gen 46:7 his sons, and his grandsons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

Gen 46:8 And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's first-born.
Gen 46:9 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
Gen 46:10 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Saul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
Gen 46:11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Gen 46:12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zerah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron, and Hamul.
Gen 46:13 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
Gen 46:14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
Gen 46:15 These [are] the sons of Leah, which she bore to Jacob in Padan-Aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters [were] thirty three.
Gen 46:16 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggai, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
Gen 46:17 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Ishui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
Gen 46:18 These [are] the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter: and these she bore to Jacob, sixteen souls.
Gen 46:19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
Gen 46:20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bore to him.
Gen 46:21 And the sons of Benjamin [were] Bela, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
Gen 46:22 These [are] the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob; all the souls [were] fourteen.
Gen 46:23 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
Gen 46:24 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
Gen 46:25 These [are] the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob: all the souls [were] seven.
Gen 46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, who came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls [were] sixty six.
Gen 46:27 And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, [were] two souls: all the souls of the House of Jacob, who came into Egypt, [were] seventy. [Deu 10:22]
Gen 46:28
        And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
Gen 46:29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went to meet Israel his father to Goshen;
          and appeared to him: and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Gen 46:30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die [happy], since I have seen Thy face, because Thou [are] yet alive.
Gen 46:31 And Joseph said to his brethren, and to his father's house, I shall go up, and show Pharaoh,
        and say to him, my brethren, and my father's house, who [were] in the land of Canaan are come to me.
Gen 46:32 And the men [are] shepherds, for their employment has been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Gen 46:33 And it shall be, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What [is] your occupation?
Gen 46:34 That ye shall say, The occupation of Thy servants has been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers:
        that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.
Gen 47:1
        But Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, my father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have,
        have come from the land of Canaan; and behold, they [are] in the land of Goshen.
Gen 47:2 And he took some of his brethren, five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
Gen 47:3 And Pharaoh said to his brethren, What [is] your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants [are] shepherds, both we, [and] also our fathers.
Gen 47:4 And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land: for Thy servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine [is] severe in the land of Canaan:
        now therefore, we pray Thee, let Thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
Gen 47:5 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, saying, Thy father and Thy brethren have come to Thee.
Gen 47:6 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 know [any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
Gen 47:7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Gen 47:8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many [are] the days of the years of Thy life?
Gen 47:9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage [are] a hundred thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life,
        nor have they attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Gen 47:10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
Gen 47:11 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.
Gen 47:12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread according to [their] families.
Gen 47:13
        And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the famine [was] very distressing, so that the land of Egypt, and [all] the land of Canaan, fainted by reason of the famine.
Gen 47:14 And Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the wheat which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
Gen 47:15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph,
        and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in Thy presence: for the money fails.
Gen 47:16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I shall give you for your cattle, if money has failed.
Gen 47:17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread,
        [in exchange] for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses; and he fed them with bread, for all their cattle, for that year.
Gen 47:18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We shall not hide from my lord, how our money is spent;
        to my lord also has our herds of cattle; there is not aught left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies and our lands.
Gen 47:19 Why shall we die before Thy eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land shall be servants to Pharaoh:
        and give [us] seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
Gen 47:20 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.
Gen 47:21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end.
Gen 47:22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion [assigned them] by Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them: therefore they sold not their lands.
Gen 47:23 And Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: behold, [here is] seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
Gen 47:24 And it shall be in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth [part] to Pharaoh, four parts shall be your own,
        for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and to eat for your little ones.
Gen 47:25 And they said, Thou have saved our lives: let us find grace in the eyes of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh's servants.
Gen 47:26 And Joseph made it a statute over the land of Egypt to this day, [that] Pharaoh should have the fifth [part]; except the land of the priests only, [which] became not Pharaoh's.
Gen 47:27
        And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possession in it, and are fruitful, and multiply exceedingly.
Gen 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty seven years.
Gen 47:29 And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found grace in Thy eyes,
        put, I pray Thee, Thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray Thee, in Egypt.
Gen 47:30 But I shall lie with my fathers, and Thou shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. And he said, I shall do as Thou have said.
Gen 47:31 And he said, Swear to me: and he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the top of his staff. [Heb 11:21]

Gen 48:1 And it came to pass after these, that [one] told Joseph, Behold, Thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Gen 48:2 And [one] told Jacob, and said, Behold, Thy son Joseph comes to Thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
Gen 48:3 And Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
Gen 48:4 and said to me, Behold I shall make Thee fruitful, and multiply Thee, and I shall make of Thee a multitude of peoples; and shall give this land to Thy seed after Thee, [for] an everlasting possession.
Gen 48:5 And now, Thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to Thee in the land of Egypt, before I came to Thee into Egypt, [are] mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
Gen 48:6 And Thy issue, which Thou beget after them, shall be Thy, [and] shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
Gen 48:7 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 distance to come to Ephrath{Ephratah}:
        and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath{Ephratah}, which [is] Beth-lehem.

Gen 48:8 {Ephraim's pre-eminence}.
        And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who [are] these?
Gen 48:9 And Joseph said to his father, They [are] my sons, whom GOD has given me in this [place]. And he said, Bring them, I pray Thee, to me, and I shall bless them;
Gen 48:10 (now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, [so that] he could not see): and he brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Gen 48:11 And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see Thy face: and behold, GOD has shown me also Thy seed.
Gen 48:12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground.
Gen 48:13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right [hand] towards Israel's left [hand],
          and Manasseh in his left [hand] towards Israel's right [hand],
          and brought [them] near to him.
Gen 48:14 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 by design; for Manasseh [was] the first-born.
Gen 48:15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, GOD, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the GOD who has fed me all my life long to this day,
Gen 48:16 the Angel who has 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 middle of the Earth.
Gen 48:17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim,
        it displeased him: and he lifted his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
Gen 48:18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father; for this [is] the first-born; put Thy right hand upon his head.
Gen 48:19 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.
Gen 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In Thee shall Israel bless, saying, May GOD make Thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Gen 48:21 And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; but GOD shall be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
Gen 48:22 And 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.
Gen 49:1 {The blessing of Jacob}.
        And Jacob called to his sons, and said,
         Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the Last Days.
Gen 49:2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob:
         and listen to Israel your father.
Gen 49:3
        <Reuben>, Thou [are] my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength,
         the excellence of dignity, and the excellence of power.
Gen 49:4 Unstable as water, Thou shall not excel;
         because Thou went up to Thy father's bed;
          then defiled Thou [it]; he went up to My couch.
Gen 49:5
        <Simeon> and <Levi> [are] brethren:
        instruments of cruelty [are in], their habitations.
Gen 49:6 My soul, come not Thou into their secret;
         to their assembly, my honour, be not Thou united:
         for in their anger they slew a man,
         and in their self-will they dig down a wall.
Gen 49:7 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce:
         and their wrath, for it was cruel!
         I shall divide them in Jacob,
         and scatter them in Israel.
Gen 49:8
        <Judah>, Thou [are he] whom Thy brethren shall praise;
        Thy hand [shall be] on the neck of Thy enemies:
        Thy father's sons shall bow down before Thee.
Gen 49:9 Judah [is] a lion's whelp;
         from the prey, My son, Thou have gone up:
         he stooped down, he crouches as a lion,
         and as an old lion: who shall rouse him up?
Gen 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,
          nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh shall come:
          and to Him [shall be] the gathering of the peoples.
Gen 49:11 Binding his foal to the vine,
          and his she-ass' colt to the choice vine;
          he washed his garments in wine,
          and his clothes in the blood of grapes.
Gen 49:12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine,
          and his teeth white with milk.
Gen 49:13
        <Zebulun> shall dwell at the shore of the seas;
         and he [shall be] for a haven of ships;
         and his border [shall be] to Sidon.
Gen 49:14
        <Issachar> [is] a strong-boned ass,
        crouching between two burdens.
Gen 49:15 And he saw that rest [was] good,
         and the land that [it was] pleasant;
         and bowed his shoulder to bear,
         and became a servant to tribute.
Gen 49:16
        <Dan> shall judge his people,
         as one of the tribes of Israel.
Gen 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way,
          an adder in the path,
          that bites the horse-heels,
           so that his rider shall fall backward.
Gen 49:18 I have waited for Thy Salvation LORD.
Gen 49:19
        <Gad>, a troop shall overcome him:
         but he shall overcome at the last.
Gen 49:20
        Out of <Asher> his bread [shall be] fat,
         and he shall yield royal dainties.
Gen 49:21
        <Naphtali> [is] a hind let loose:
         he gives goodly words.
Gen 49:22
        <Joseph> [is] a fruitful bough,
        a fruitful bough by a fountain;
        [whose] branches run over the wall.
Gen 49:23 The masters of arrows have sorely grieved him,
          and shot [at him], and hated him.
Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength,
          and the arms of his hands were made strong,
          by the hands of the Mighty of Jacob:
          (from thence [is] the Shepherd the Stone of Israel).
Gen 49:25 By the God of Thy father, who shall help Thee,
         and by the Almighty, who shall bless Thee;
         with blessings of Heaven above,
         blessings of the Abyss that lies beneath,
         blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
Gen 49:26 The blessings of Thy father,
           have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors,
         to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills;
        they shall be on the head of Joseph,
        and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Gen 49:27
        <Benjamin> shall raven [as] a wolf:
         in the morning he shall devour the prey,
         and at evening he shall divide the spoil.
Gen 49:28
        All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel:
        and this [is it] which their father spoke to them, and blessed them;
        every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

Gen 49:29 {The burial of Jacob}.
        And he charged them, and he said to them, I [am] to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite.
Gen 49:30 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 burying-place;
Gen 49:31 (there they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah).
Gen 49:32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is] in it, [was] from the sons of Heth.
Gen 49:33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he drew his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered to his people.
Gen 50:1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
Gen 50:2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
Gen 50:3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; (for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed): and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
Gen 50:4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying,
        If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Gen 50:5 My father made me swear, saying, Behold, I die: in my grave which I have dig for me in the land of Canaan, there shall Thou bury me.
        And now let me go, I pray Thee, and bury my father, and I shall come again.
Gen 50:6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury Thy father, according as he made Thee swear.
Gen 50:7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Gen 50:8 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.
Gen 50:9 And there went with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
Gen 50:10 And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is] beyond the Jordan,
        and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
Gen 50:11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad, they said, This [is] a grievous mourning to the Egyptians:
        therefore the name of it was called Abel-Mizraim, which [is] beyond the Jordan.
Gen 50:12 And his sons did to him according as he commanded them.
Gen 50:13 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 burying-place of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
Gen 50:14 And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
Gen 50:15
        And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said,
        Joseph shall perhaps hate us, and shall certainly requite us all the evil which we did to him.
Gen 50:16 And they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,
Gen 50:17 Thus shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray Thee now, the trespass of Thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to Thee evil:
        and now, we pray Thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of Thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
Gen 50:18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face: and they said, Behold, we [are] Thy servants.
Gen 50:19 And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for [am] I in the place of GOD?
Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] GOD meant it for good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save many people alive.
Gen 50:21 And now fear ye not: I shall nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke to their hearts.
Gen 50:22 {The death of Joseph}.
        And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived a hundred ten years.
Gen 50:23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's sons of the third [generation]: also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
Gen 50:24 And Joseph said to his brethren, I die: and GOD shall surely visit you, and bring you out of this land,
          to the land which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Gen 50:25 And Joseph took an oath of the sons of Israel, saying, GOD shall surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
Gen 50:26 And Joseph died, [being] a hundred ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.

Exo 1:1 [Scroll 02 Exodus].
        And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt;
        every man and his household came with Jacob.
Exo 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Exo 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Exo 1:4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Exo 1:5 And all the souls that descended from Jacob, were seventy souls: for Joseph was [already] in Egypt. [Deu 10:22]
Exo 1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Exo 1:7 And the sons of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and became exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Exo 1:8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. [Act 7:18]
Exo 1:9 And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the sons of Israel [are] more and mightier than we.
Exo 1:10 Come, let us deal wisely with them: lest they multiply, and it shall be, that when there falls out any war, they shall join with our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.
Exo 1:11 Therefore they set over them task-masters, to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure-cities, Pithom, and Raamses.
Exo 1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the sons of Israel.
Exo 1:13 And the Egyptians made the sons of Israel to serve with rigor.
Exo 1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service in which they made them serve, [was] with rigor.
Exo 1:15 {The Hebrew midwives}.
        And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives (of which the name of one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah).
Exo 1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [shall be] a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it [shall be] a daughter, then she shall live.
Exo 1:17 But the midwives feared GOD, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male-children alive.
Exo 1:18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the male-children alive?
Exo 1:19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Egyptian women: for they [are] lively, and are delivered before the midwives come in to them.
Exo 1:20 Therefore GOD dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and became very mighty.
Exo 1:21
        And it came to pass, because the midwives feared GOD, that He made them houses.
Exo 1:22 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.

Exo 2:1 {Moses' birth}.
        And there went a man of the House of Levi, and married a daughter of Levi.
Exo 2:2 And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and she saw him that he [was] goodly, and she hid him three months.
Exo 2:3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of rushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child in it; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river's brink.
Exo 2:4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
Exo 2:5 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.
Exo 2:6 And when she had opened [it], she saw the child: and behold, the infant wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of the Hebrews' children.
Exo 2:7 Then said his sister to the daughter of Pharaoh, Shall I go, and call to Thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for Thee?
Exo 2:8 And [the] daughter of Pharaoh said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
Exo 2:9 And [the] daughter of Pharaoh said to her, Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I shall give [Thee] Thy wages. And the woman took the child and nursed it.
Exo 2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him to [the] daughter of Pharaoh, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Exo 2:11 {Moses' exile}.
        And it came to pass in those days, when Moses become great, that he went out to his brethren,
        and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
Exo 2:12 And he looked from side to side, and when he saw that [there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Exo 2:13 And when he went out the second day,
        behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to the guilty,
        Why smite Thou Thy fellow?
Exo 2:14 And he said, Who made Thee a ruler and a judge? [Act 7:27]
        Will Thou not kill me, as Thou killed the Egyptian yesterday? [Act 7:28]
        And Moses feared, and said, Surely, this thing is known.
Exo 2:15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses.
        But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
Exo 2:16
        Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Exo 2:17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Exo 2:18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How [is it that] you are come so soon today?
Exo 2:19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the flock.
Exo 2:20 And he said to his daughters, And where [is] he? Why [is] it [that] ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.
Exo 2:21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Exo 2:22 And she bore [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land.

Exo 2:23 And it came to pass after many days, that the king of Egypt died: and the sons of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage,
        and they cried; and their cry ascended to GOD, by reason of the bondage.
Exo 2:24 And GOD heard their groaning, and GOD remembered His Covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Exo 2:25 And GOD looked upon the sons of Israel, and GOD had respect to [them].

Exo 3:1 {The Burning Bush}.
        Now Moses feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian:
        and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the Mount of GOD, to Horeb.
Exo 3:2 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush:
        and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed.
Exo 3:3 And Moses said, I shall now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
Exo 3:4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, GOD called to him out of the middle of the bush,
        and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Behold me.
Exo 3:5 And He said, Approach not here: Loose Thy shoes from Thy feet: for the place where Thou have stood is Holy ground.
Exo 3:6 And He said,
        I [AM] the God of Thy father,
        the God of Abraham,
        the God of Isaac,
        and the God of Jacob. [Mar 12:26]
        And Moses hid his face: for he was afraid to look upon the GOD.
Exo 3:7
        And the LORD said, I have seen, I have seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt,
        and I have heard their groaning to their task-masters; for I know their sorrows;
Exo 3:8 and I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians,
        and to bring them up out of that land, to a good land, and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey;
        to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. [Deu 7:1]
Exo 3:9 And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel is come to Me:
        and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
Exo 3:10 And now come here, I shall send Thee to [the] Pharaoh, that Thou may bring forth My people the sons of Israel out of Egypt.
Exo 3:11 And Moses said to GOD, Who [am] I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt?
Exo 3:12 And He said, Certainly I shall be with Thee; and this [shall be] a sign to Thee, that I have sent Thee:
        When Thou have brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve GOD upon this mountain.
Exo 3:13 And Moses said to GOD, Behold, [when] I come to the sons of Israel,
        and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you;
        and they shall say to me, What [is] His name? What shall I say to them?
Exo 3:14 And GOD said to Moses, I SHALL BE WHAT I SHALL BE:
        And He said, Thus shall Thou say to the sons of Israel, I SHALL BE has sent me to you.
Exo 3:15 And GOD said, moreover, to Moses, Thus shall Thou say to the sons of Israel,
        The LORD, God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
        has sent me to you: this [is] My name forever, and this [is] My memorial from generation to generation.
Exo 3:16 Go and assemble the elders of Israel, and say to them, The LORD, God of your fathers,
        the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me,
        saying, I have surely visited you, and [seen] that which is done to you in Egypt.
Exo 3:17 And I have said, I shall bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt;
        to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, [Deu 7:1]
        to a land flowing with milk and honey.
Exo 3:18
        And they shall listen to Thy voice: and Thou shall come,
        Thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say to him,
        The LORD, God of the Hebrews has 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.
Exo 3:19 And I [am] sure that the king of Egypt shall not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
Exo 3:20 And I shall stretch out My hand, and smite Egypt with all My wonders which I shall do in the middle [of it]: and after that he shall let you go.
Exo 3:21 And I shall give this people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians: and it shall be, that when ye go, ye shall not go empty,
Exo 3:22 but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that dwells in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing:
        and ye shall put [them] upon your sons, and upon your daughters: and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
Exo 4:1
        And Moses answered and said,
        But behold, they shall not believe me, nor listen to my voice: for they shall say,
        The LORD has not appeared to Thee.
Exo 4:2 And the LORD said to him, What [is] that in Thy hand? And he said, A rod.
Exo 4:3 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.

Exo 4:4 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Put forth Thy hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand.
Exo 4:5 That they may believe that the LORD, God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to Thee.
Exo 4:6 And the LORD said to him again, Put now Thy hand into Thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand [was] leprous as snow.
Exo 4:7 And He said, Put Thy hand into Thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his [other] flesh.
Exo 4:8 And it shall be, if they shall not believe Thee, neither listen to the voice of the first sign, that they shall believe the voice of the latter sign.
Exo 4:9 And it shall be, if they shall not believe also these two signs, neither listen to Thy voice, that Thou shall take of the water of the river, and pour [it] upon the dry [land]:
        and the water which Thou take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].
Exo 4:10 And Moses said to the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent, neither yesterday, nor before, nor since Thou have spoken to Thy servant: but I [am] slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Exo 4:11 And the LORD said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I the LORD.
Exo 4:12 And now go, and I shall be with Thy mouth, and teach Thee what Thou shall say.
Exo 4:13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray Thee, by the hand [of him whom] Thou shall send.
Exo 4:14 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 comes forth to meet Thee: and when he sees Thee, he shall be glad in his heart.
Exo 4:15 And Thou shall speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I shall be with Thy mouth, and with his mouth, and shall teach you what ye shall do.
Exo 4:16 And he shall speak for Thee to the people: and he shall be, he shall be to Thee instead of a mouth, and Thou shall be to him instead of GOD.
Exo 4:17 And Thou shall take this rod in Thy hand, with which Thou shall perform signs.
Exo 4:18
        And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray Thee,
        and return to my brethren who [are] in Egypt, and see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

Exo 4:19 And the LORD said to Moses in Midian,
        Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought Thy soul.
Exo 4:20 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.
Exo 4:21
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        When Thou go to return into Egypt, see that Thou perform all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in Thy hand:
        but I shall harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
Exo 4:22 And Thou shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel [is] My son, My first-born.
Exo 4:23 And I say to Thee, Let My son go, that he may serve Me: and if Thou shall refuse to let him go, behold, I shall slay Thy son, Thy first-born.

Exo 4:24 And it came to pass by the way in the lodging, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
Exo 4:25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast [it] at his feet, and said, Surely, a bridegroom of blood [are] Thou to me.
Exo 4:26 So He let him go: then she said, A bridegroom of blood Thou [are], because of the circumcision.

Exo 4:27 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.
Exo 4:28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which He had commanded him.
Exo 4:29 And Moses and Aaron went, and assembled all the elders of the sons of Israel.
Exo 4:30 And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and performed the signs in the sight of the people.
Exo 4:31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the sons of Israel,
        and that He had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads, and worshiped.
Exo 5:1 {Bricks without straw}.
        And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh,
        Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,
        Let My people go, that they may hold a Festival to Me in the wilderness.
Exo 5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go?
        I know not the LORD, neither shall I let Israel go.
Exo 5:3 And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: let us go,
        we pray Thee, three days' journey into the desert,
        and sacrifice to the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
Exo 5:4 And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do ye, Moses and Aaron, hinder the people from their works; go to your burdens.
Exo 5:5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now [are] many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
Exo 5:6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the task-masters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Exo 5:7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore; let them go and gather straw for themselves.
Exo 5:8 And the number of the bricks which they made heretofore, ye shall lay upon them;
        ye shall not diminish of it; for they are idle: therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.
Exo 5:9 Let more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour in it: and let them not regard vain words.
Exo 5:10 And the task-masters of the people went out, and their officers, and they said to the people,
        saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I shall not give you straw.
Exo 5:11 Go ye, get straw where ye can find it: yet not aught of your work shall be diminished.
Exo 5:12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble instead of straw.
Exo 5:13 And the task-masters hastened [them], saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
Exo 5:14 And the officers of the sons of Israel, which Pharaoh's task-masters had set over them, were beaten, [and] demanded,
        Why have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and today, as heretofore?
Exo 5:15 Then the officers of the sons of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why deal Thou thus with Thy servants?
Exo 5:16 There is no straw given to Thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and behold, Thy servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is] in Thy own people.
Exo 5:17 But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye say, Let us go, [and] do sacrifice to the LORD.
Exo 5:18 Go therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.
Exo 5:19 And the officers of the sons of Israel saw [that] they [were] in evil [case], after it was said,
        Ye shall not diminish [aught] from your bricks of your daily task.
Exo 5:20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood against them, as they came forth from Pharaoh.
Exo 5:21 And they said to them, May the LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh,
        and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hands to slay us.
Exo 5:22 And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Lord, why have Thou [so] ill-treated this people? Why [is] it [that] Thou have sent me?
Exo 5:23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Thy name, he has done evil to this people; neither have Thou delivered Thy people at all.

Exo 6:1 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Now shall Thou see what I shall do to Pharaoh;
        for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them from his land.

Exo 6:2 And GOD spoke to Moses, and said to him, I [AM] the LORD:
Exo 6:3 and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty,
        but by My name JeHoVaH was I not known to them.
Exo 6:4 And I have also established My Covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan,
        the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers.
Exo 6:5 And I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel,
        whom the Egyptians keep in bondage: and I remember My Covenant.
Exo 6:6 {an outstretched arm}.
        Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I [AM] the LORD,
        and I shall bring you from under the burdens of the Egyptians,
        and I shall deliver you from their bondage,
        and I shall redeem you with out-stretched arm, and with great Judgments:
Exo 6:7 and I shall take you to Me for a people, and I shall be to you GOD:
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD your God,
        who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
Exo 6:8 And I shall bring you into the land,
        concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
        and I shall give it to you for a heritage: I [AM] the LORD.

Exo 6:9 And Moses spoke so to the sons of Israel:
        but they listened not to Moses, by reason of anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.
Exo 6:10
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 6:11 Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel depart from his land.
Exo 6:12 And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying,
        Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me;
        how then shall Pharaoh hear me, I [being] of uncircumcised lips?

Exo 6:13 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron,
        and gave them a charge to the sons of Israel,
        and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 6:14 These [are] the heads of [the] houses of their fathers: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel;
        Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these [are] the families of Reuben.

Exo 6:17 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimei, according to their families.

        and the years of the life of Kohath [were] a hundred thirty three years.

        And the years of the life of Amram [were] a hundred thirty seven years.
Exo 6:21 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
Exo 6:22 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
Exo 6:23 And Aaron took him Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon,
        for a wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
Exo 6:24 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these [are] the families of the Korahites.
Exo 6:25 And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took him [one] of the daughters of Putiel for a wife; and she bore to him Phinehas:
        these [are] the heads of the fathers of the Levites, according to their families.

Exo 6:26 These [are] that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
Exo 6:27 These [are] they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt: these [are] that Moses and Aaron.
Exo 6:28
        And it came to pass, on the day [when] the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt.
Exo 6:29 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
        I [AM] the LORD: speak Thou to Pharaoh king of Egypt, all that I say to Thee!
Exo 6:30 And Moses said before the LORD,
        Behold, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?
Exo 7:1
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        See, I have made Thee as GOD to Pharaoh: and Aaron Thy brother shall be Thy prophet.
Exo 7:2 Thou shall speak all that I command Thee: and Aaron Thy brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he send the sons of Israel out of his land.
Exo 7:3 And I shall harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.
Exo 7:4 But Pharaoh shall not listen to you, that I may lay My hand upon Egypt,
        and bring forth My armies, My people the sons of Israel, out of the land of Egypt, by great Judgments.
Exo 7:5 And the Egyptians shall know that I [AM] the LORD, when I stretch out My hand upon Egypt, and bring out the sons of Israel from among them.
Exo 7:6 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
Exo 7:7 And Moses [was] eighty years old, and Aaron eighty three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Exo 7:8
        And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Exo 7:9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then Thou shall say to Aaron, Take Thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a snake.
Exo 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a snake.
Exo 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise-men, and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
Exo 7:12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Exo 7:13 And Pharaoh's heart was hardened and did not listen to them; as the LORD has spoken.
Exo 7:14 {Plagues}.
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Pharaoh's heart [is] hardened; he refuses to let the people go.
Exo 7:15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning; behold, he goes out to the water, and Thou shall stand by the river's brink to meet him;
        and the rod which was turned to a serpent shall Thou take in Thy hand.
Exo 7:16 And Thou shall say to him, The LORD, God of the Hebrews has sent me to Thee, saying,
        Let My people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and behold, until now Thou would not hear.
Exo 7:17 Thus says the LORD, In this Thou shall know that I [AM] the LORD:
        behold, I shall smite with the rod that [is] in My hand upon the waters which [are] in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Exo 7:18 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.
Exo 7:19
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Say to Aaron, Take Thy rod, and stretch out Thy hand upon the waters of Egypt,
        upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water,
        that they may become blood: and [that] there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [vessels of] stone.
Exo 7:20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod and smote the waters that [were] in the river,
        in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that [were] in the river were turned into blood.
Exo 7:21 And the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river stunk,
        and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exo 7:22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he listen to them; as the LORD has spoken.
Exo 7:23 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he regard this also.
Exo 7:24 And all the Egyptians dig around the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
Exo 7:25 And seven days were fulfilled after that the LORD had smitten the river.
Exo 8:1
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Go to Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says the LORD,
        Let My people go that they may serve Me.
Exo 8:2 And if Thou shall refuse to let [them] go, behold, I shall smite all Thy borders with frogs.
Exo 8:3 And the river shall bring forth abundantly frogs, which shall go up and come,
        into Thy house, and into Thy bed-chamber, and upon Thy bed, and into the house of Thy servants,
        and upon Thy people, and into Thy ovens, and into Thy kneading troughs.
Exo 8:4 And the frogs shall come up both on Thee, and upon Thy people, and upon all Thy servants.
Exo 8:5
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Say to Aaron, Stretch out Thy hand with Thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.
Exo 8:6 And Aaron stretched his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Exo 8:7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Exo 8:8 And 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 shall let the people go, that they may do sacrifice to the LORD.
Exo 8:9 And Moses said to 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?
Exo 8:10 And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, [Be it] according to Thy word; that Thou may know that [there is] none like the LORD our God.
Exo 8:11 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.
Exo 8:12
        And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried to the LORD, because of the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh.
Exo 8:13 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.
Exo 8:14 And they gathered them into heaps: and the land stunk.
Exo 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and listened not to them, as the LORD has spoken.
Exo 8:16
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Say to Aaron, Stretch out Thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exo 8:17 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 earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exo 8:18 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.
Exo 8:19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This [is] the finger of GOD: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he listened not to them; as the LORD has spoken.
Exo 8:20
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh;
        (behold, he comes forth to the water) and say to him, Thus says the LORD,
        Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Exo 8:21 Else, if Thou shall not let My people go,
        behold, I shall send swarms [of flies] upon Thee, and upon Thy servants, and upon Thy people, and into Thy houses:
        and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms [of flies], and also the ground on which they [are].
Exo 8:22 And I shall 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 may know that I [AM] the LORD in the middle of the Earth.
Exo 8:23 And I shall put a division between My people and Thy people: tomorrow shall this sign be.
Exo 8:24 And the LORD did so: and there came a grievous swarm [of flies] into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] his servants' houses,
        and throughout all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm [of flies].
Exo 8:25 And Pharaoh called for Moses, and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
Exo 8:26 And Moses said, It is not good so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God:
        Behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and shall they not stone us?
Exo 8:27 We shall go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He shall command us.
Exo 8:28 And Pharaoh said, I shall 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.
Exo 8:29
        And Moses said, Behold, I go out from Thee, and I shall 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.
Exo 8:30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
Exo 8:31 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.
Exo 8:32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart also at this time, neither would he let the people go.
Exo 9:1
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus says the LORD, God of the Hebrews,
        Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Exo 9:2 For if Thou shall refuse to let [them] go, and shall hold them still.
Exo 9:3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon Thy cattle which are 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 pestilence.
Exo 9:4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel, and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all [that] belongs to the sons of Israel.
Exo 9:5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
Exo 9:6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the sons of Israel died not one.
Exo 9:7 And Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Exo 9:8
        And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron,
        Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards Heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Exo 9:9 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.
Exo 9:10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it towards Heaven;
        and it became a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast.
Exo 9:11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses,
        because of the boil: for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Exo 9:12 And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he listened not to them; as the LORD has spoken to Moses.
Exo 9:13
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Rise early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh,
        and say to him, Thus says the LORD, God of the Hebrews,
        Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Exo 9:14 For I shall at this time send all My plagues upon Thy heart, and upon Thy servants,
        and upon Thy people: that Thou may know that [there is] none like me in all the Earth.
Exo 9:15 For now I shall stretch out My hand, that I may smite Thee,
        and Thy people with pestilence; and Thou shall be cut off from the Earth.
Exo 9:16 And 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. [Rom 9:17]
Exo 9:17 As yet do Thou exalt thyself against My people, that Thou will not let them go?
Exo 9:18 Behold, Tomorrow about this time I shall cause it to rain a very grievous hail,
        such as has not been in Egypt since its foundation even until now.
Exo 9:19 Send therefore now, [and] gather Thy cattle, and all that Thou have 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.
Exo 9:20 He who feared the word of the LORD, among the servants of Pharaoh,
        made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses.
Exo 9:21 And he who has not set his heart to the word of the LORD, left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Exo 9:22
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Stretch out Thy hand towards 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.
Exo 9:23 And Moses stretched forth his rod towards 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.
Exo 9:24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there had been none like it throughout all the land of Egypt, since it became a nation.
Exo 9:25 And the hail smote, throughout all the land of Egypt, all that [was] in the field,
        both man and beast, and the hail smote every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field.
Exo 9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel [were], there was no hail.
Exo 9:27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the LORD [is] righteous, and I and My people [are] wicked.
Exo 9:28 Entreat the LORD (for [it is] enough) that there be no [more] thunders and hail of GOD; and I shall let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
Exo 9:29 And Moses said to him, As soon as I [am] gone out of the city, I shall spread abroad My hands to the LORD;
        [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that Thou may know that the Earth [is] the LORD's.
Exo 9:30 But as for Thee and Thy servants, I know that ye shall not yet fear the LORD GOD.
Exo 9:31 And the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley [was] in the ear, and the flax [was in] bud.
Exo 9:32 But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten; for they [were] not grown up.
Exo 9:33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the Earth.
Exo 9:34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Exo 9:35 And the Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither would he let the sons of Israel go; as the LORD has spoken by the hand of Moses.
Exo 10:1
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Go in to Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants; that I might show these My signs before him.
Exo 10:2 And that Thou may tell in the ears of Thy son, and of Thy grandson, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and My signs which I have done among them;
        that ye may know that I [AM] the LORD.
Exo 10:3 And Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus says the LORD, God of the Hebrews,
        Until when shall Thou refuse to humble thyself before Me?
        Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Exo 10:4 Else, if Thou shall refuse to let My people go,
        behold, tomorrow shall I bring the locusts into Thy border.
Exo 10:5 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 has escaped,
        which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field:
Exo 10:6 and they shall fill Thy houses, and the houses of all Thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians;
        which neither Thy fathers, nor Thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the Earth to this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
Exo 10:7 And Pharaoh's servants said to him, Until when shall this man be a snare to us?
        Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: know Thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
Exo 10:8 And Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go, serve the LORD your God: [but] who [are] they that shall go?
Exo 10:9 And Moses said, We shall go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds shall we go; for we [must hold] a Festival to the LORD.
Exo 10:10 And he said to them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I shall let you go, and your little ones: look [to it]; for evil [is] before you.
Exo 10:11 Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and serve the LORD; for that you desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Exo 10:12
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Stretch out Thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts,
        that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, all that the hail has left.
Exo 10:13 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.
Exo 10:14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt:
        very grievous [were they]; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Exo 10:15 For they covered the face of all the Earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land,
        and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing on the trees, or in the herbs of the field, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exo 10:16 And Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
Exo 10:17 And now 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.
Exo 10:18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
Exo 10:19 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 borders of Egypt.
Exo 10:20 And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the sons of Israel go.
Exo 10:21
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Stretch out Thy hand towards Heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness [which] may be felt.
Exo 10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand towards Heaven: and there was a thick darkness throughout all the land of Egypt three days.
Exo 10:23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exo 10:24 And Pharaoh called to 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.
Exo 10:25 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices, and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
Exo 10:26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for of them must we take to serve the LORD our God;
        and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there.
Exo 10:27 And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Exo 10:28 And Pharaoh said to him, Depart from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more: for in [that] day Thou see my face, Thou shall die.
Exo 10:29 And Moses said, Thou have spoken well, I shall see Thy face again no more.
Exo 11:1
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Yet shall I bring one plague [more] upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt;
        afterwards he shall let you go hence: when he shall let [you] go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
Exo 11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbour, and every woman from her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
Exo 11:3 And the LORD gave the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians.
        And the man Moses [was] very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of Pharaoh's servants, and in the eyes of the people.
Exo 11:4
        And Moses said, Thus says the LORD,
        About midnight shall I go out into the middle of Egypt:
Exo 11:5 and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die,
        from the first-born of Pharaoh that sits upon his throne, even to the first-born of the maid-servant that [is] behind the mill; and all the first-born of beasts.
Exo 11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt,
        such as there has been none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
Exo 11:7 But against any of the sons of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast:
        that ye may know how the LORD does put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
Exo 11:8 And all these Thy servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me,
        saying, Depart Thou, and all the people that follow Thy steps; and after that I shall depart: and he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
Exo 11:9
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Pharaoh shall not listen to you; that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Exo 11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the sons of Israel depart from his land.
Exo 12:1
        And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Exo 12:2 <This month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it [shall be] the first month of the year to you>.
Exo 12:3 Speak ye to all the Congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb,
        according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house:
Exo 12:4 and if the household shall be too small for the lamb,
        let him and his neighbour next to his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
Exo 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take [it] from the sheep or from the goats:
Exo 12:6 and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the Congregation of Israel shall kill it between the evenings.
Exo 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on the two side-posts, and on the upper door-post of the houses, in which they shall eat it.
Exo 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast [with] fire; and Unleavened [Bread], [and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it.
Exo 12:9 Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast [with] fire; its head with its legs, and with its entrails.
Exo 12:10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning: and that which remains of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
Exo 12:11 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.
Exo 12:12 For I shall pass through the land of Egypt this night, and shall smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast:
        and against all the gods of Egypt I shall execute judgment: I [AM] the LORD.
Exo 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a sign upon the houses where ye [are]: and when I see the blood, I shall pass over you,
        and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy [you], when I smite the land of Egypt.
Exo 12:14 And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a Festival to the LORD throughout your generations: ye shall keep it a Festival by an ordinance forever.
Exo 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat Unleavened [Bread]; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses:
        for whoever eats leavened [bread], from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Exo 12:16 And in the first day [there shall be] a Holy Convocation, and in the seventh day ye shall have a Holy Convocation:
        no manner of work shall be done in them, only [that] which every soul must eat, that only may be done by you.
Exo 12:17 And ye shall observe [the Festival of] Unleavened [Bread]; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt:
        therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever.
Exo 12:18 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, ye shall eat Unleavened [Bread], until the twenty first day of the month at evening.
Exo 12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whoever eats that which is leavened,
        even that soul shall be cut off from the Congregation of Israel, whether he shall be a stranger, or born in the land.
Exo 12:20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your habitations shall ye eat Unleavened [Bread].
Exo 12:21
        And Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them,
        Draw out, and take you a lamb, according to your families, and kill the Passover.
Exo 12:22 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.
Exo 12:23 For the LORD shall pass over to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts,
        the LORD shall pass over the door, and shall not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite [you].
Exo 12:24 And ye shall observe this thing for a statute to Thee and to Thy sons forever.
Exo 12:25 And it shall be, when ye shall have come to the land which the LORD shall give you, according as He has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
Exo 12:26 And it shall be, when your sons shall say to you, What mean you by this service?
Exo 12:27 That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt,
        when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshiped.
Exo 12:28 And the sons of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Exo 12:29
        And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt,
        from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat upon his throne, to the first-born of the captive that [was] in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.
Exo 12:30 And Pharaoh rose in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt:
        for [there was] not a house where [there was] not one dead.
Exo 12:31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Arise, [and] depart from among My people,
        both ye and the sons of Israel: and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
Exo 12:32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone: and bless me also.
Exo 12:33 {End Plagues}.
        And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We [are] all dead [men].
Exo 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
Exo 12:35 And the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses: and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.
Exo 12:36 And the LORD gave the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they lent to them [such things as they requested]: and they spoiled the Egyptians.
Exo 12:37
        And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.
Exo 12:38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, very many cattle.
Exo 12:39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought from Egypt, for it was not leavened:
        because they were driven from Egypt, and could not tarry, and also provision they have not made for themselves.

Exo 12:40 Now the sojourning of the sons of Israel who dwelt in Egypt, [was] four hundred thirty years.
Exo 12:41 And it came to pass, at the end of the four hundred thirty years,
         even the same day it came to pass, that all the Armies of the LORD departed from the land of Egypt.
Exo 12:42 It [is] a night to be much observed to the LORD, for bringing them out from the land of Egypt:
        this [is] that night of the LORD to be observed by all the sons of Israel in their generations.

Exo 12:43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
        This [is] the ordinance of the Passover: there shall no stranger eat of it.
Exo 12:44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when Thou have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
Exo 12:45 A sojourner, and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
Exo 12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; Thou shall not carry aught of the flesh abroad out of the house: neither shall ye break a bone. [Joh 19:36]
Exo 12:47 All the Congregation of Israel shall keep it.
Exo 12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with Thee, and shall keep the Passover to the LORD,
        let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it;
        and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised [male] shall eat of it.
Exo 12:49 One law shall be to him that is home-born, and to the stranger that sojourners among you.
Exo 12:50 Thus did all the sons of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Exo 12:51
        And it came to pass the same day, [that] the LORD brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

Exo 13:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 13:2 Sanctify to me all the first-born, whatever opens the womb among the sons of Israel, [both] of man and of beast: it [is] Mine.
Exo 13:3
        And Moses said to 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.
Exo 13:4 This day ye came out in the month Abib.
Exo 13:5 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 Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites, [Exo 3:8]
        which He swore to Thy fathers to give Thee, a land flowing with milk and honey;
        that Thou shall keep this service in this month.
Exo 13:6 Seven days shall Thou eat Unleavened [Bread], and in the seventh day [shall be] a Festival to the LORD.
Exo 13:7 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 border.
Exo 13:8 And Thou shall show Thy son in that day, saying, [This is done] because of that [which] the LORD did to me when I came forth out of Egypt.
Exo 13:9 And it shall be for a sign to Thee upon Thy hand,
        and for a memorial between Thy eyes;
        that the LORD's law may be in Thy mouth:
        for with a strong hand has the LORD brought Thee out of Egypt.
Exo 13:10 Thou shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from time to time{yearly}.
Exo 13:11
        And it shall be when the LORD shall bring Thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to Thee and to Thy fathers, and shall give it to Thee,
Exo 13:12 that Thou shall set apart to the LORD all that opens [first] the womb; and every firstling that comes of a beast which Thou have, the males [shall be] the LORD's.
Exo 13:13 And every firstling of an ass Thou shall redeem with a lamb; and if Thou shall not redeem,
        then Thou shall break his neck: and all the first-born of man among Thy sons shall Thou redeem.
Exo 13:14 And it shall be when Thy son asks Thee in time to come, saying, What [is] this? That Thou shall say to him,
        By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the House of Bondage.
Exo 13:15
        And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt,
        both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that opens the womb,
        being males; but all the first-born of my sons I redeem.
Exo 13:16 And it shall be for a sign upon Thy hand, and for frontlets between Thy eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
Exo 13:17
        And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that GOD led them not [through] the way of the land of the Philistines,
        although that [was] near, for GOD said, Lest perhaps the people regret when they see war, and they return to Egypt.
Exo 13:18 But GOD led the people about, [through] the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea: and the sons of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had strictly sworn the sons of Israel, saying, GOD shall surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones hence with you.
Exo 13:20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
Exo 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light: to go by day and night.
Exo 13:22 He removed not the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.
Exo 14:1 {Crossing the Red Sea}.
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 14:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth,
        between Migdol and the sea, opposed to Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
Exo 14:3 For Pharaoh shall say of the sons of Israel, They [are] entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut them in.
Exo 14:4 And I shall harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow them; and I shall be honoured upon Pharaoh,
        and upon all his army; that the Egyptians may know that I [AM] the LORD. And they did so.
Exo 14:5 And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the Pharaoh's heart 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?
Exo 14:6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
Exo 14:7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
Exo 14:8
        And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart king of Egypt,
        and he pursued the sons of Israel: and the sons of Israel went out with a high hand.
Exo 14:9 But the Egyptians pursued them (all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army);
        and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Exo 14:10 And when Pharaoh came near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them;
        and they were greatly afraid; and the sons of Israel cried to the LORD.
Exo 14:11 And they said to Moses, Because [there were] no graves in Egypt, have Thou taken us away to die in the wilderness?
        Why have Thou dealt thus with us, to conduct us out of Egypt?
Exo 14:12 [Is] not this the word that we told Thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?
        For [it had been] better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Exo 14:13 And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the Salvation of the LORD, which He shall show to you today:
        for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever.
Exo 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall be silent.
Exo 14:15
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Why cry Thou to me?
        Speak to the sons of Israel, that they go forward.
Exo 14:16 But lift Thou Thy rod, and stretch out Thy hand over the sea,
        and divide it; and the sons of Israel shall go on dry [land] through the middle of the sea.
Exo 14:17 And I, behold I, shall harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them:
        and I shall get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his army, upon his chariots and upon his horsemen.
Exo 14:18 And the Egyptians shall know that I [AM] the LORD,
        when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Exo 14:19
        And the Angel of GOD, who went before the camp of Israel, removed, and went behind them;
        and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them.
Exo 14:20 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.
Exo 14:21 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.
Exo 14:22 And the sons of Israel went into the middle of the sea upon the dry: and the waters [were] a wall to them on their right [hand] and on their left.
Exo 14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the middle of the Sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exo 14:24
        And it came to pass, that, in the morning-watch, the LORD looked to the camps of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire, and of the cloud, and troubled the camps of the Egyptians,
Exo 14:25 and took off their chariot-wheels, and made them to move heavily, so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.
Exo 14:26
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Stretch out Thy hand over the Sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
Exo 14:27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the Sea, and the Sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared;
        and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
Exo 14:28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen,
        [and] all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
Exo 14:29 But the sons of Israel walked upon dry [land] in the middle of the Sea; and the waters [were] a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Exo 14:30 And the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians: and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
Exo 14:31
        And Israel saw the great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians:
        and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and His servant Moses.
Exo 15:1 {Song of the Sea}.
        Then sang Moses and the sons of Israel this song to JeHoVaH,
        and spoke, saying, I shall sing to JeHoVaH,
        for He has triumphed gloriously;
        the horse and his rider has He thrown into the Sea.
Exo 15:2 JaH [is] my Strength and Song,
      and He [is] become my Salvation:
          He [is] my God, and I shall prepare Him a habitation;
         my father's God, and I shall exalt Him.
Exo 15:3 JeHoVaH [is] a man of war:
         JeHoVaH [is] His name.
Exo 15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army has he cast into the Sea:
        his chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.
Exo 15:5 The abysses have covered them:
        they sunk to the bottom as a stone.
Exo 15:6 Thy right hand, JeHoVaH, is become glorious in power:
         Thy right hand, JeHoVaH, has dashed in pieces the enemy.
Exo 15:7 And in the greatness of Thy excellence Thou have overthrown them that rose up against Thee:
        Thou sent forth Thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.
Exo 15:8 And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were collected,
         the floods stood upright as a heap,
         the abysses were congealed in the heart of the Sea.
Exo 15:9 The enemy said, I shall pursue, I shall overtake, I shall divide the spoil;
        My soul shall be satisfied upon them;
         I shall draw My sword, My hand shall destroy them.
Exo 15:10
        Thou did blow with Thy wind, covered by the Sea:
        they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.
Exo 15:11
        Who [is] like Thee, JeHoVaH, among the gods?
        Who [is] like Thee, glorious in Holiness,
        fearful in praises, doing wonders!
Exo 15:12 Thou stretched out Thy right hand,
        the Earth swallowed them.
Exo 15:13 Thou in Thy mercy have led forth the people [which] Thou have redeemed:
          Thou have guided [them] in Thy strength to Thy Holy habitation.
Exo 15:14 The peoples shall hear, [and] be afraid:
        sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
Exo 15:15 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.
Exo 15:16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them;
        by the greatness of Thy arm they shall be [as] still as a stone;
        until Thy people pass over, JeHoVaH,
        until Thy people pass over, [which] Thou have purchased.
Exo 15:17 Thou shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Thy inheritance,
        [in] the place, JeHoVaH, [which] Thou have made for Thee to dwell in;
        [in] the Sanctuary, Lord. [Which] Thy hands have established.
Exo 15:18 JeHoVaH shall reign forever and ever.
Exo 15:19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the Sea,
        and JeHoVaH brought again upon them; the waters of the Sea,
        but the sons of Israel went on dry [land] in the middle of the Sea.

Exo 15:20 {Song of Miriam}.
        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.
Exo 15:21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to JeHoVaH,
        for He has triumphed gloriously;
        the horse and his rider has He thrown into the Sea.
Exo 15:22
        And 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.
Exo 15:23 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.
Exo 15:24
        And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Exo 15:25
        And he cried to JeHoVaH;
        and JeHoVaH showed him a tree,
        [which] He cast into the waters,
        [and] the waters were made sweet:
        there He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He proved them,
Exo 15:26 and said, If Thou shall diligently listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God,
        and shall do that which is right in His eyes,
        and shall give ear to His Commandments, and keep all His Statutes;
        I shall put none of these diseases upon Thee,
        which I have brought upon the Egyptians;
        for I [AM] JeHoVaH Thy Healer.
Exo 15:27
        And they came to Elim,
        where [were] twelve fountains of water,
        and seventy palm-trees:
        and they encamped there by the waters.

Exo 16:1 {Bread from Heaven}.
        And they took their journey from Elim, and all the Congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin,
        (which [is] between Elim and Sinai), on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt.
Exo 16:2 And all the Congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
Exo 16:3 And the sons of Israel said to them, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt,
        when we sat by the flesh-pots, [and] when we did eat bread to the full:
        for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
Exo 16:4
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Behold, I shall 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 shall walk in My Law, or not.
Exo 16:5 And it shall be, that on the sixth day they shall prepare [that] which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather day by day.
Exo 16:6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel,
        at evening, then ye shall know that the LORD has brought you out from the land of Egypt:
Exo 16:7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD;
        for that He hears your murmurings against the LORD. And what [are] we, that ye murmur against us?
Exo 16:8 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 hears your murmurings which ye murmur against Him:
        And what [are] we? Your murmurings [are] not against us, but against the LORD.
Exo 16:9 And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the Congregation of the sons of Israel,
        Come near before the LORD: for He has heard your murmurings.
Exo 16:10
        And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke to all the Congregation of the sons of Israel,
        that they looked towards the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
Exo 16:11
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 16:12 I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; Speak to them, saying,
        At evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread:
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD your God.
Exo 16:13 And it came to pass, that at evening the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
Exo 16:14 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.
Exo 16:15 And when the sons of Israel saw [it], they said one to another, It [is] manna:
        for they knew not what it [was].
        And Moses said to them, This [is] the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.
Exo 16:16 This [is] the thing which the LORD has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating: an omer for every man,
        [according to] the number of your souls, take ye every man for [them] who [are] in his tents.
Exo 16:17 And the sons of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
Exo 16:18 And when they measured [it] with an omer,
        he who [gathered] much had nothing over;
        and he who [gathered] little had no lack:
        they gathered every man according to his eating. [2Co 8:15]
Exo 16:19 And Moses said,
        Let no man leave of it until the morning.
Exo 16:20 But they listened not to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning,
        and it bred worms, and stunk; and Moses was wroth with them.
Exo 16:21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun became hot, it melted.
Exo 16:22
        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.
Exo 16:23 And he said to them, This [is that] which the LORD has spoken, Tomorrow [is] a Holy Sabbath-rest to the LORD:
        bake [that] which ye shall bake [today], and boil that ye shall boil; and that which remains over, lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Exo 16:24 And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses ordered: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm in it.
Exo 16:25 And Moses said, Eat that today; for today [is] a Sabbath to the LORD; today ye shall not find it in the field.
Exo 16:26 Six days ye shall gather it; and in the seventh day, [which is] the Sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Exo 16:27 And it came to pass, [that some] of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, and they found none.
Exo 16:28
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Until when refuse ye to keep My Commandments and My Laws?
Exo 16:29 See, for that the LORD has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives 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.
Exo 16:30 So the people rested in the seventh day.
Exo 16:31 And the House of Israel called its name manna{what is it?}:
        and it [was] like coriander-seed, white; and the taste of it [was] like wafers [made] with honey.
Exo 16:32 And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations;
        that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.
Exo 16:33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
Exo 16:34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Exo 16:35 And the sons of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited:
        they ate manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
Exo 16:36 Now an omer [is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.

Exo 17:1 And all the Congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin,
        after their journeys, according to the Commandment of the LORD, and encamped in Rephidim:
        and [there was] no water for the people to drink.
Exo 17:2 And the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink.
        And Moses said to them, Why chide you with me? Why do ye tempt the LORD?
Exo 17:3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses,
        and said, Why [is] this [that] Thou have brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our sons and our cattle with thirst?
Exo 17:4 And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me.
Exo 17:5
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Go on before the people, and take with Thee of the elders of Israel: and Thy rod,
        with which Thou smote the river, take in Thy hand, and go.
Exo 17:6 Behold, I shall stand before Thee there on the rock in Horeb; and Thou shall smite the rock,
        and water shall come out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Exo 17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the sons of Israel,
        and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

Exo 17:8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Exo 17:9 And Moses said to Joshua,
        Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek:
        tomorrow I shall stand on the top of the hill with the rod of GOD in My hand.
Exo 17:10 And 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.
Exo 17:11
        And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed:
        and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Exo 17:12 But Moses' hands [were] heavy; and they took a stone, and put [it] under him,
        and he sat upon it: and Aaron and Hur supported 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.
Exo 17:13 And Joshua weakened Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Exo 17:14 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Write this [for] a memorial in a book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua:
        for I shall utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under Heaven.
Exo 17:15 And Moses built an Altar, and called the name of it JeHoVaH-nissi{banner}:
Exo 17:16 for [he] said, Because a hand [was] against the stead of JaH.
        JeHoVaH shall have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

Exo 18:1 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.
Exo 18:2 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah Moses' wife, after he had sent her back.
Exo 18:3 And her two sons; of which the name of the one [was] Gershom; for he said, I have been a stranger in a foreign land.
Exo 18:4 And the name of the other [was] Eliezer; (for the God of my father, [said he, was] my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh).
Exo 18:5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the Mount of GOD.
Exo 18:6 And he said to Moses, I, Thy father-in-law Jethro have come to Thee, and Thy wife, and her two sons with her.
Exo 18:7 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.
Exo 18:8 And Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake,
        [and] all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and [how] the LORD delivered them.
Exo 18:9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
Exo 18:10 And Jethro said, Blessed [be] the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians,
        and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians!
Exo 18:11 Now I know that the LORD [is] greater than all GODS: for in the thing in which they dealt proudly, [He was] above them.
Exo 18:12 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.
Exo 18:13
        And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people:
        and the people stood by Moses from the morning to the evening.
Exo 18:14 And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people,
        he said, What [is] this thing that Thou do to the people?
        Why sit Thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by Thee from morning to evening?
Exo 18:15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to inquire of GOD.
Exo 18:16 When they have a matter, they come to me,
        and I judge between one and another, and I make [them] know the Statutes of GOD, and His Laws.
Exo 18:17 And Moses' father-in-law said to him, The thing that Thou do [is] not good.
Exo 18:18 Thou shall surely wear away, both Thou, and this people that [is] with Thee:
        for this thing [is] too heavy for Thee; Thou are not able to perform it thyself alone.
Exo 18:19 Listen now to My voice, I shall give Thee counsel, and GOD shall be with Thee:
        Be Thou for the people towards GOD, that Thou may bring the causes to GOD:
Exo 18:20 And Thou shall teach them Statutes and Laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
Exo 18:21 And Thou shall 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:
Exo 18:22 and let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, [that] every great matter they shall bring to Thee, but every small matter they shall judge:
        So shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear [the burden] with Thee.
Exo 18:23 If Thou shall do this thing, and GOD command Thee [so], then Thou shall be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
Exo 18:24 So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
Exo 18:25 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:
Exo 18:26 and they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
Exo 18:27 And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

Exo 19:1 In the third month, when the sons of Israel had gone out from the land of Egypt, the same day they came [into] the wilderness of Sinai.
Exo 19:2 For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come [to] the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the Mount.
Exo 19:3 And Moses went up to GOD, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus shall Thou say to the House of Jacob, and tell the sons of Israel;
Exo 19:4 ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
Exo 19:5 And now, if ye shall obey My voice indeed, and keep My Covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure to Me above all the peoples: for all the Earth [is] Mine:
Exo 19:6 and ye shall be to Me a royal priesthood, and a Holy Nation. [1Pe 2:9]
         These [are] the words which Thou shall speak to the sons of Israel.
Exo 19:7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
Exo 19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All which the LORD has spoken we shall do. And Moses returned the words of the people to the LORD.
Exo 19:9
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Behold, I come to Thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with Thee,
        and believe Thee forever. And Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
Exo 19:10 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes,
Exo 19:11 and be ready against the third day: for on the third day the LORD shall come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
Exo 19:12 And Thou shall set bounds to the people around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up upon the Mount,
        or touch the border of it: whoever touches the Mount dying, he shall die. [Heb 12:20]
Exo 19:13 There shall not a hand touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through with a dart: whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not live: [Heb 12:20]
        when the ram's horn sounds long, they shall come up to the Mount.
Exo 19:14 And Moses went down from the Mount to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
Exo 19:15 And he said to the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at [your] wives.
Exo 19:16
        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 shofar exceeding loud; so that all the people that [were] in the camp trembled.
Exo 19:17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet GOD; and they stood at the nether part of the Mount.
Exo 19:18 And Mount Sinai was altogether in a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire:
        and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole Mount trembled greatly.
Exo 19:19 And when the voice of the shofar sounded long, and grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and GOD answered him by a voice.
Exo 19:20
        And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the Mount: and the LORD called Moses to the top of the Mount; and Moses went up.
Exo 19:21 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
Exo 19:22 And let the priests also who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
Exo 19:23 And Moses said to the LORD, The people cannot to come up to Mount Sinai: for Thou charged us, saying, Set bounds about the Mount, and sanctify it.
Exo 19:24
        And the LORD said to him,
        Away, go down, and Thou shall come up, Thou, and Aaron with Thee:
        But let not the priests and the people break through, to come up to the LORD, lest He break forth upon them.
Exo 19:25 And Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
Exo 20:1 {Ten Commandments 1}.
         And GOD spoke all these words, saying,
Exo 20:2  I [AM] the LORD Thy God, who brought Thee out of the land of Egypt, from the House of Bondage,
Exo 20:3  Thou shall have no other GODS before Me!
Exo 20:4
          Thou shall not make to Thee a graven image, or any likeness [of anything] that [is] in Heaven above,
           or that [is] in the Earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the Earth:
Exo 20:5  Thou shall 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 sons to the third and the fourth [generation] of them that hate Me;
Exo 20:6   and showing mercy to thousands of them that loving Me, and keep My Commandments!
Exo 20:7
          Thou shall not take the name of the LORD Thy God in vain:
           for the LORD shall not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain!
Exo 20:8
          Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy;
Exo 20:9   six days Thou shall labour, and do all Thy work:
Exo 20:10  but the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to the LORD Thy God: [in it] Thou shall not do any work,
           Thou, nor Thy son, nor Thy daughter, nor Thy man-servant, nor Thy maid-servant, nor Thy cattle, nor Thy stranger that [is] within Thy gates:
Exo 20:11  for [in] six days the LORD made Heavens and Earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rested in the seventh day:
           therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it!
Exo 20:12
           Honour Thy father and Thy mother;
           that Thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee!
Exo 20:13
           Thou shall not murder!
Exo 20:14
           Thou shall not commit adultery!
Exo 20:15
           Thou shall not steal!
Exo 20:16
           Thou shall not bear false witness against Thy neighbour!
Exo 20:17
           Thou shall not covet:
           Thy neighbour's house, Thou shall not covet Thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that [is] Thy neighbour's!

Exo 20:18 And all the people perceived the thunders, and the lightnings, and the voice of the shofar, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.
Exo 20:19 And they said to Moses, Speak Thou with us, and we shall hear: but let not GOD speak with us, lest we die.
Exo 20:20 And Moses said to the people, Fear not: for GOD is come to prove you, and that His fearfulness may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
Exo 20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where GOD [was].
Exo 20:22 {The Covenant Code}.
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Thus Thou shall say to the sons of Israel; Ye have seen that I have talked with you from Heaven.
Exo 20:23 Ye shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall ye make to you gods of gold.
Exo 20:24 An Altar of Earth Thou shall make to Me, and shall sacrifice on it Thy burnt-offerings, and Thy peace-offerings,
        Thy sheep, and Thy oxen: in all places where I record My name I shall come to Thee, and I shall bless Thee.
Exo 20:25 And if Thou shall make me an Altar of stone, Thou shall not build it of hewn stone: for if Thou [shall] lift up Thy tool upon it, Thou have polluted it;
Exo 20:26 neither shall Thou go up by steps to My Altar, that Thy nakedness be not uncovered on it.
Exo 21:1
        And these [are] the Judgments which Thou shall set before them.
Exo 21:2 If Thou shall buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall depart free for nothing.
Exo 21:3 If he came in by himself, he shall depart by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall depart with him.
Exo 21:4 If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters;
        the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall depart by himself.
Exo 21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my sons; I will not depart free:
Exo 21:6 then his master shall bring him to the judges; he shall also bring him to the door,
        or to the door-post: and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him forever.
Exo 21:7
        And if a man shall sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not depart as the men-servants do.
Exo 21:8 If she shall not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed:
        to sell her to foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
Exo 21:9 And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
Exo 21:10 If he shall take him another [wife]; her food, her clothing, and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish.
Exo 21:11 And if he shall not perform these three to her, then shall she depart free without money.
Exo 21:12
        He who smites a man, so that he dies, dying, he shall die.
Exo 21:13 And if a man shall not lie in wait, but GOD shall deliver [him] into his hand; then I shall appoint Thee a place where he shall flee.
Exo 21:14
        But if a man shall come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; Thou shall take him from My Altar, that he may die.
Exo 21:15
        And he who smites his father, or his mother, dying, he shall die.
Exo 21:16 And he who steals a man, and sells him, or if he shall be found in his hand, he dying, he shall die.
Exo 21:17 And he who cursing father or mother, let him die the death. [Mat 15:4]
Exo 21:18
        And if men contend together, and one shall smite another with a stone, or with [his] fist, and he shall not die, but keep [his] bed:
Exo 21:19 if he shall rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he who smote him be free:
        only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
Exo 21:20 And if a man shall smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he shall die under his hand; he shall surely be punished.
Exo 21:21 Nevertheless if he shall continue a day or two, he shall not be punished; for he [is] his money.
Exo 21:22
        If men shall contend, and hurt a pregnant woman, so that her child shall depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow:
        he shall surely be fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine].
Exo 21:23 And if [any] mischief shall follow, then Thou shall give soul for soul,
Exo 21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exo 21:25 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Exo 21:26 And if a man shall smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it shall perish, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
Exo 21:27 And if he shall smite out his man-servant's tooth, or his maid-servant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
Exo 21:28
        If an ox shall gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall surely be stoned,
        and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox [shall be] guiltless;
Exo 21:29 but if the ox was accustomed to push with his horn in time past, and it has been testified to his owner, and he has not restrained him,
        but that he has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
Exo 21:30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his soul whatever is laid upon him;
Exo 21:31 whether he has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this Judgment shall it be done to him.
Exo 21:32 If the ox shall push a man-servant, or maid-servant. He shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
Exo 21:33
        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 shall fall into it;
Exo 21:34 the owner of the pit shall make compensation, [and] give money to the owner of them; and the dead [beast] shall be his.
Exo 21:35
        And if one man's ox shall hurt another's that he shall die, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it, and the dead [ox] also they shall divide.
Exo 21:36 Or if it shall be known that the ox has used to push in time past, and his owner has not restrained him; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead shall be his own.
Exo 22:1
        If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, four sheep for a sheep.
Exo 22:2 If a thief shall be found breaking through, and be smitten that he dies, [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.
Exo 22:3 If the sun shall have risen upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed] for him: [for] he should make full restitution; if he owns nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Exo 22:4 If the theft shall be certainly found in his hand alive, whether an ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
Exo 22:5
        If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be consumed, 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.
Exo 22:6 If fire shall break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of grain, or the standing-grain, or the field shall be consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Exo 22:7 If a man shall deliver to his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief shall be found, let him pay double.
Exo 22:8 If the thief shall not be found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges, [to see] whether he has put his hand to his neighbour's goods.
Exo 22:9
        For all manner of trespass, [whether it be] for ox, for ass, for sheep, for clothing, [or] for any manner of lost thing,
        which [another] challenge to be his: the cause of both parties shall come before the judges;
        [and he] whom the judges shall condemn, shall pay double to his neighbour.
Exo 22:10 If a man shall deliver to his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep; and it shall die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing [it]:
Exo 22:11 [then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods;
        and the owner of it shall accept of it, and he shall not make restitution.
Exo 22:12 And if it shall be stolen from him. He shall make restitution to the owner of it.
Exo 22:13
        If it shall be torn in pieces; [then] let him bring it [for] witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.
Exo 22:14 And if a man shall borrow [aught] of his neighbour, and it shall be hurt, or die, the owner of it [being] not with it, he shall surely make [it] good.
Exo 22:15 If the owner of it shall [be] with it, he shall not make [it] good: if it [be] a hired [thing], it came for his hire.
Exo 22:16
        And if a man shall entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
Exo 22:17 If her father shall utterly refuse to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dower of virgins.
Exo 22:18
        Thou shall not allow a sorceress to live.
Exo 22:19
        Whoever lies with a beast dying, he shall die.
Exo 22:20
        He who sacrifices to a GOD, shall be utterly destroyed except to the LORD only.
Exo 22:21
        Thou shall neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exo 22:22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Exo 22:23 If Thou shall afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all to me, I shall surely hear their cry:
Exo 22:24 and My wrath shall kindle, and I shall kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your sons fatherless.
Exo 22:25
        If Thou shall lend money to [any of] My people [that is] poor by Thee, Thou shall not be to him as a creditor, neither shall Thou lay upon him interest.
Exo 22:26
        If Thou shall at all take Thy neighbour's clothing to pledge, Thou shall deliver it to him by the setting of the sun.
Exo 22:27 For that [is] his only covering, it [is] his clothing for his skin: wherein shall he sleep?
        And it shall be, when he cries to Me, that I shall hear; for I [AM] gracious.
Exo 22:28
        Thou shall not revile GOD, Thou shall not speak evilly of the ruler of Thy people. [Act 23:5]
Exo 22:29
        Thou shall not delay [to offer] the first of Thy ripe fruits, and of Thy liquors: the first-born of Thy sons shall Thou give to Me.
Exo 22:30 So shall Thou do with Thy oxen, [and] with Thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his mother{dam}; on the eighth day Thou shall give it to Me.
Exo 22:31
        And ye shall be Holy men to Me: neither shall ye eat [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
Exo 23:1
        Thou shall not raise a false report: put not Thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Exo 23:2 Thou shall not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither shall Thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest [judgment]:
Exo 23:3 neither shall Thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
Exo 23:4
        If Thou shall meet Thy enemy's ox or his ass going astray, Thou shall surely bring it back to him again.
Exo 23:5 If Thou shall see the ass of him that hates Thee lying under his burden, and would forbear to help him, Thou shall surely help with him.
Exo 23:6 Thou shall not wrest the judgment of Thy poor in his cause.
Exo 23:7
        Keep Thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay Thou not: for I shall not justify the wicked.
Exo 23:8 And Thou shall take no gift: for the gift blinds the seeing, and perverts the words of the righteous.
Exo 23:9 And Thou shall not oppress a stranger; for ye know the soul of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exo 23:10
        And six years Thou shall sow Thy land, and shall gather in the fruits:
Exo 23:11 but the seventh [year] Thou shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of Thy people may eat:
        and what they leave, the animals of the field shall eat. In like manner Thou shall deal with Thy vineyard, [and] with Thy olive-yard.
Exo 23:12 Six days Thou shall do Thy work, and in the seventh day Thou shall rest:
        that Thy ox and Thy ass may rest, and the son of Thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
Exo 23:13 And in all [things] that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the names of other GODS, neither let it be heard from Thy mouth.
Exo 23:14 Three times Thou shall keep a Festival to Me in the year.
Exo 23:15 Thou shall keep the Festival of Unleavened [Bread]: (Thou shall eat Unleavened [Bread] seven days, as I commanded Thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib;
        for in it Thou came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before Me empty).
Exo 23:16 And the Festival of Harvest{Pentecost}, the first-fruit of Thy labours, which Thou have sown in the field: and the Festival of Ingathering,
        [which] is in the end of the year, when Thou have gathered in Thy labours out of the field.
Exo 23:17 Three times in the year all Thy males shall appear before the Lord JeHoVaH.
Exo 23:18 Thou shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened [bread]; neither shall the fat of My sacrifice remain until the morning.
Exo 23:19 The first of the first-fruit of Thy land Thou shall bring into the House of the LORD Thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in his mother's milk.

Exo 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before Thee, to keep Thee in the way, and to bring Thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exo 23:21 Beware of Him, and obey His voice, provoke Him not; for He shall not pardon your transgressions: for My name [is] in Him.
Exo 23:22 But if Thou shall indeed obey His voice, and do all that I speak; then I shall be an enemy to Thy enemies, and an adversary to Thy adversaries.
Exo 23:23 For My Angel shall go before Thee, and bring Thee in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, [and] the Hivites, and the Jebusites;
        and I shall cut them off.
Exo 23:24 Thou shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but Thou shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their pillars.
Exo 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless Thy bread, and Thy water; and I shall take sickness away from the middle of Thee.
Exo 23:26
        There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in Thy land: the number of Thy days I shall fulfil.
Exo 23:27 I shall send My fear before Thee, and shall destroy all the people to whom Thou shall come, and I shall make all Thy enemies turn their backs to Thee.
Exo 23:28 And I shall send hornets before Thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before Thee.
Exo 23:29 I shall not drive them out from before Thee in one year; lest the land should become desolate, and the animal of the field should multiply against Thee.
Exo 23:30 By little and little I shall drive them out from before Thee, until Thou shall be fruitfull and inherit the land.
Exo 23:31 And I shall set Thy bounds from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river:

Exo 29:25 And Thou shall receive them from their hands, and burn [them] upon the Altar for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it [is] an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Exo 29:26 And Thou shall 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.
Exo 29:27 And Thou shall 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,
        of [that] which [is] for Aaron, and of [that] which is for his sons.
Exo 29:28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute forever, from the sons of Israel: for it [is] a heave-offering:
        and it shall be a heave-offering from the sons of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace-offerings, their heave-offering to the LORD.
Exo 29:29 And the Holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed in it, and to be consecrated in them.
Exo 29:30 Seven days shall [one] of his sons that is priest in his stead put them on,
        when he comes into the Tabernacle of the Congregation to minister in the Holy [place].
Exo 29:31 And Thou shall take the ram of the consecration, and boil his flesh in the Holy place.
Exo 29:32 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.
Exo 29:33 And they shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat [of them], because they [are] Holy.
Exo 29:34 And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, shall remain until the morning, then Thou shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it [is] Holy.
Exo 29:35 And thus shall Thou do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all [things] which I have commanded Thee: seven days shall Thou consecrate them.
Exo 29:36 And Thou shall offer every day a bull [for] a sin-offering for atonement; and Thou shall cleanse the Altar, when Thou have made an atonement for it, and Thou shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
Exo 29:37 Seven days Thou shall make an atonement for the Altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an Altar most Holy: whatever touches the Altar shall be Holy.
Exo 29:38
          Now this [is that] which Thou shall offer upon the Altar; two lambs of the first year, day by day continually.
Exo 29:39 The one lamb Thou shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb Thou shall offer at evening.
Exo 29:40 And with the one lamb a tenth [part] 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.
Exo 29:41 And the other lamb Thou shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the food-offering of the morning,
        and according to its drink-offering, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Exo 29:42 [This shall be] a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations [at] the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the LORD: where I shall meet you to speak there to Thee.
Exo 29:43 And there I shall meet with the sons of Israel, and [the Tabernacle] shall be sanctified by My glory.
Exo 29:44 And I shall sanctify the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Altar: I shall sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to Me in the priest's office.
Exo 29:45 And I shall dwell among the sons of Israel, and shall be their GOD.
Exo 29:46 And they shall know that I [AM] the LORD their God, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I [AM] the LORD their God.

Exo 30:1 And Thou shall make an Altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shall Thou make it.
Exo 30:2 A cubit [shall be] its length, and a cubit its breadth; square shall it be; and two cubits [shall be] its height: its horns [shall be] of the same.
Exo 30:3 And Thou shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its sides around, and its horns; and Thou shall make to it a crown of gold around.
Exo 30:4 And two rings of gold shall Thou make to it under the crown of it, by its two corners, upon the two sides of it shall Thou make [it]; and they shall be for places for the staffs to bear it with.
Exo 30:5 And Thou shall make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
Exo 30:6 And Thou shall put it before the veil that [is] by the Ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that [is] over the testimony, where I shall meet with Thee.
Exo 30:7 And Aaron shall burn upon it sweet incense every morning: when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
Exo 30:8 And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a continually incense before the LORD, throughout your generations.
Exo 30:9 Ye shall offer no strange incense upon it, nor burnt-offering, nor food-offering; neither shall ye pour drink-offering upon it.
Exo 30:10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year, with the blood of the sin-offering of atonements:
        once in a year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it [is] most Holy to the LORD.
Exo 30:11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 30:12 When Thou take the sum of the sons of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to the LORD.
          When Thou number them: that there may be no plague among them, when [Thou] number them.
Exo 30:13 This they shall give, every one that passes among them that are numbered, half a shekel, after the shekel of the Holy [place]:
        (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs): a half shekel [shall be] the offering of the LORD.
Exo 30:14 Every one that passes among them that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering to the LORD.
Exo 30:15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when [they] give an offering to the LORD to make an atonement for your souls.
Exo 30:16 And Thou shall take the atonement-money of the sons of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation;
        that it may be a memorial to the sons of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

Exo 30:17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 30:18 And Thou shall make a laver of bronze, and its foot [also of] bronze, to wash:
        Thou shall put it between the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and Thou shall put water in it.
Exo 30:19 For Aaron and their sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
Exo 30:20 when they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, they shall wash with water,
        that they die not: or when they come near to the Altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire to the LORD.
Exo 30:21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet,
        that they die not: and it shall be a statute forever to them, to him and to his seed throughout their generations.

Exo 30:22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 30:23 Take Thou also to Thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred [shekels],
        and of sweet cinnamon half as much, two hundred fifty [shekels],
        and of sweet calamus two hundred fifty [shekels],
Exo 30:24 and of cassia five hundred [shekels], after the shekel of the Holy [place], and of olive-oil a hin:
Exo 30:25 And Thou shall make it an oil of Holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a Holy anointing oil.
Exo 30:26 And Thou shall anoint the Tabernacle of the Congregation with it, and the Ark of the testimony,
Exo 30:27 and the table and all its vessels, and the lampstand and its vessels, and the Altar of incense,
Exo 30:28 and the Altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot.
Exo 30:29 And Thou shall sanctify them, that they may be most Holy: whatever touches them shall be Holy.
Exo 30:30 And Thou shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that [they] may minister to Me in the priest's office.
Exo 30:31 And Thou shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying,
          This shall be a Holy anointing oil to Me, throughout your generations.
Exo 30:32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make [any other] like it, after the composition of it: it [is] Holy, [and] it shall be Holy to you.
Exo 30:33 Whoever compounds [any] like it, or whoever puts [any] of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from His people.
Exo 30:34
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Take to Thee spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; [these] spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like [weight]:
Exo 30:35 And Thou shall make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the perfumer, salted, pure [and] Holy:
Exo 30:36 And Thou shall beat [some] of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, where I shall meet with Thee: it shall be to you most Holy.
Exo 30:37 And [as for] the perfume which Thou shall make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to its composition: it shall be to Thee Holy for the LORD.
Exo 30:38 Whoever shall make the like to that, to smell to it, shall even be cut off from His people.

Exo 31:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 31:2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel, (the son of Uri, the son of Hur), of the tribe of Judah:
Exo 31:3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of GOD, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
Exo 31:4 to devise artful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
Exo 31:5 and in cutting of stones to set [them], and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
Exo 31:6 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 of heart I have put wisdom; that they may make all that I have commanded Thee:
Exo 31:7 the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that [is] upon it, and all the furniture of the Tabernacle,
Exo 31:8 and the table and its furniture, and the pure lampstand with all its furniture, and the Altar of incense,
Exo 31:9 and the Altar of burnt-offering, with all its furniture, and the laver and its foot,
Exo 31:10 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,
Exo 31:11 and the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the Holy [place]: according to all that I have commanded Thee, shall they do.

Exo 31:12 And the LORD said to Moses, saying,
Exo 31:13 Speak Thou also to the sons of Israel, saying,
         Truly <My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign between Me and you> throughout your generations;
         that [ye] may know that I [AM] JeHoVaH your Sanctifier.
Exo 31:14 Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore: for it [is] Holy to you. Every one that profanes it dying, he shall die:
          for whoever does [any] work in it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Exo 31:15 Six days may work be done, and in the seventh day [is] a Holy Sabbath-rest to the LORD:
          whoever does [any] work on the Sabbath day, he dying, he shall die.
Exo 31:16 Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, [for] an Everlasting Covenant.
Exo 31:17 [It is] <a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever>: for [in] six days the LORD made the Heaven and the Earth, and in the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.

Exo 31:18 And to Moses, when He had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave two tablets of testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of GOD.
Exo 32:1 {The golden calf}.
        And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the Mount, the people assembled themselves to Aaron, and said to him,
        Arise, Make us GODS who shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened of him. [Act 7:40]
Exo 32:2 And Aaron said to them, Break off the rings of gold which [are] in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring [them] to me.
Exo 32:3 And all the people broke off the rings of gold which [were] in their ears, and brought [them] to Aaron.
Exo 32:4 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 are Thy gods, Israel, which brought Thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 32:5 And when Aaron saw [it], he built an Altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow [is] a Festival to the LORD.
Exo 32:6 And they rose early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings: and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. [1Co 10:7]
Exo 32:7
        And the LORD spoke to Moses,
        Go, go down; for Thy people, which Thou brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted [themselves]:
Exo 32:8 they have turned aside quickly from the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it,
        and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are Thy gods, Israel, which have brought Thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exo 32:9
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        I have seen this people, and behold it [is] a stiff-necked people:
Exo 32:10 now therefore let me alone, that My wrath may kindle against them, and that I may consume them: and I shall make of Thee a great nation.
Exo 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why does Thy wrath kindle against Thy people,
        which Thou have brought forth from the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Exo 32:12 Why should the Egyptians speak and say, For evil did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the Earth?
        Turn from Thy fierce wrath, and relent of this evil against Thy people.
Exo 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel Thy servants, to whom Thou swore by Thy own self, and said to them,
        I shall multiply your seed as the stars of Heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of I shall give to your seed, and they shall inherit [it] forever.
Exo 32:14 And the LORD regretted of the evil which He thought to do to His people.

Exo 32:15 And Moses turned, and went down from the Mount, and the two tablets of the testimony [were] in his hand:
        the tablets [were] written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other [were] they written.
Exo 32:16 And the tablets [were] the work of GOD, and the writing [was] the writing of GOD, graven upon the tablets.
Exo 32:17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp.
Exo 32:18 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.
Exo 32:19
        And it came to pass as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf,
        and the dancing: and Moses' anger kindled, and he cast the tablets from his hands, and broke them beneath the Mount.
Exo 32:20 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 sons of Israel drink [of it].
Exo 32:21 And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to Thee, that Thou have brought so great a sin upon them?
Exo 32:22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord kindle: Thou know the people that they [are set] on mischief.
Exo 32:23 For they said to me, Make us GODS who shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened of him. [Act 7:40]
Exo 32:24 And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break [it] off: So they gave [it] to me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
Exo 32:25 And when Moses saw that the people [were] unloosed, (for Aaron had let it loose for a derision among their enemies).
Exo 32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who [is] on the LORD's side? [Let him come] to me. And all the sons of Levi assembled themselves to him.
Exo 32:27 And he said to them, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, [and] go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp,
        and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
Exo 32:28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Exo 32:29 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.
Exo 32:30
        And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin:
        and now I shall go up to the LORD; perhaps I shall make an atonement for your sin.
Exo 32:31 And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
Exo 32:32 Yet now, if Thou will, forgive their sin: and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy Book which Thou have written.
Exo 32:33
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Whoever has sinned against Me, him shall I blot out of My Book.
Exo 32:34 Therefore now go, lead the people to [the place] of which I have spoken to Thee:
        Behold, My Angel shall go before Thee:
         and in the day when I visit, I shall visit their sin upon them.
Exo 32:35 And the LORD smote the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.
Exo 33:1
        And the LORD spoke to Moses,
        Depart [and] go up hence, Thou and the people which Thou have brought up out of the land of Egypt,
        to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, to Thy seed I shall give it.
Exo 33:2 And I shall send an Angel before Thee; and I shall drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
Exo 33:3 to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I shall not go up in the middle of Thee; for Thou [are] a stiff-necked people: lest I consume Thee in the way.
Exo 33:4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man put on him his ornaments.
Exo 33:5 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Say to the sons of Israel, Ye [are] a stiff-necked people: I shall come up into the middle of Thee in a moment, and consume Thee:
        therefore now put off Thy ornaments from Thee, that I may know what to do to Thee.
Exo 33:6 And the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, by the Mount Horeb.

Exo 33:7 And Moses takes the tent, and pitched it outside the camp far from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
        And it came to pass, [that] every one who sought the LORD, went out to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which [was] outside the camp.
Exo 33:8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the Tabernacle, [that] all the people rose, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the Tabernacle.
Exo 33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the Tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood [at] the door of the Tabernacle, and He spoke with Moses.
Exo 33:10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand [at] the Tabernacle door: and all the people rose and worshiped, every man [in] his tent door.
Exo 33:11 And the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he turned back into the camp;
        but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tabernacle.
Exo 33:12
        And Moses said to the LORD, See, Thou say to me,
        Bring up this people: and Thou have not let me know whom Thou shall send with me.
        Yet Thou have said, I know Thee by name, and Thou have also found grace in My eyes.
Exo 33:13 And now, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy eyes, show me now Thy way, that I may know Thee,
        that I may find grace in Thy eyes: and consider that this nation [is] Thy people.
Exo 33:14 And He said, My presence shall attend Thee, and I shall give Thee rest.
Exo 33:15 And he said to him, If Thy presence shall not attend me, conduct us not hence.
Exo 33:16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy eyes?
        [Is it] not in that Thou go with us? So shall we be separated, I and Thy people, from all the people that [are] upon the face of the Earth.

Exo 33:17 And the LORD said to Moses,
        I shall do this thing also that Thou have spoken: for Thou have found grace in My eyes, and I know Thee by name.
Exo 33:18 And he said, I beseech Thee, show me Thy glory.
Exo 33:19 And He said, I shall make all My goodness pass before Thee, and I shall call in the name of the LORD before Thee;
        I shall show mercy on whom I may show mercy, and I shall show compassion on whom I may show compassion. [Rom 9:15]
Exo 33:20 And He said, Thou cannot see My face: for there shall no man see Me, and live.
Exo 33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by Me, and Thou shall stand upon a Rock:
Exo 33:22 and it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I shall put Thee in a cleft of the Rock: and shall cover Thee with My hand while I pass by:
Exo 33:23 and I shall take away My hand, and Thou shall see My back parts: but My face shall not be seen.

Exo 34:1 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Hew Thee two tablets of stone like the first; and I shall write upon [these] tablets the words that were in the first tablets which Thou did break.
Exo 34:2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present thyself there to Me on the top of the Mount.
Exo 34:3 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.
Exo 34:4 And he hewed two tablets of stone, like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai,
        as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tablets of stone.
Exo 34:5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and called in the name of the LORD.
Exo 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, LORD, LORD, God, merciful and gracious, patient, and abundant in goodness and truth.
Exo 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that shall by no means clear [the guilty];
        visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons (and upon the sons of sons) to the third and to the fourth [generation].
Exo 34:8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head towards the Earth, and worshiped.
Exo 34:9 And he said, If now I have found grace in Thy eyes, Lord, let my Lord, I pray Thee,
         go among us (for it [is] a stiff-necked people) and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Thy inheritance.

Exo 34:10 And He said, Behold, I make a Covenant: before all Thy people I shall do wonders, such as have not been done in all the Earth, nor in any nation:
        and all the people among which Thou [are], shall see the work of the LORD: for it [is] an awesome thing that I shall do with Thee.
Exo 34:11 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 Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
Exo 34:12 Take heed to thyself, lest Thou make a Covenant with the inhabitants of the land where Thou go, lest it be for a snare in the middle of Thee.
Exo 34:13 But ye shall destroy their Altars, break their pillars, and cut down their Asherim.
Exo 34:14 For Thou shall worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:
Exo 34:15 lest Thou make a Covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go astray after their gods, and do sacrifice to their gods, and [one] call Thee, and Thou eat of his sacrifice;
Exo 34:16 And Thou take of their daughters to Thy sons, and their daughters go astray after their gods, and make Thy sons go astray after their gods.
Exo 34:17 Thou shall make Thee no molten gods.
Exo 34:18 The Festival of Unleavened [Bread] shall Thou keep. Seven days shall Thou eat Unleavened [Bread], as I commanded Thee,
        in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib Thou came out of from Egypt.
Exo 34:19 All that opens the womb [is] Mine: and every firstling among Thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male].
Exo 34:20 But the firstling of an ass Thou shall redeem with a lamb: and if Thou shall not redeem him, then shall Thou break his neck.
        All the first-born of Thy sons Thou shall redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty.
Exo 34:21 Six days Thou shall work, and in the seventh day Thou shall rest: in time of ploughing and in harvest Thou shall rest.
Exo 34:22 And Thou shall observe the Festival of Weeks{Pentecost}, of the <first-fruit> of wheat-harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
Exo 34:23 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord JeHoVaH, the God of Israel.
Exo 34:24 For I shall drive out the nations before Thee, and enlarge Thy borders: neither shall any man desire Thy land, when Thou shall go up to appear before the LORD Thy God, three times in the year.
Exo 34:25 Thou shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven, neither shall the sacrifice of the Festival of the Passover be left until the morning.
Exo 34:26 The first of the first-fruit of Thy land Thou shall bring into the House of the LORD Thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in his mother's milk.

Exo 34:27 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Write Thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a Covenant with Thee, and with Israel.
Exo 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water: and he wrote upon the tablets the words of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments.
Exo 34:29
        And it came to pass, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai;
        (with the two tablets of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the Mount) that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone, while He talked with him.
Exo 34:30 And when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.
Exo 34:31 And Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the Congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them.
Exo 34:32 And afterward all the sons of Israel came near: and he gave them in Commandment all which the LORD has spoken with him in Mount Sinai.
Exo 34:33 And [until] Moses had done speaking with them, He put a veil on his face.
Exo 34:34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. And he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel [that] which He was commanded.
Exo 34:35 And the sons of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put back the veil upon his face, until he went in to speak with him.
Exo 35:1 And Moses assembled all the Congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them,
         These [are] the words which the LORD has commanded, that [ye] should do them.
Exo 35:2 Six days shall work be done; and in the seventh day there shall be to you a Holy day,
         a Sabbath-rest to the LORD: whoever does work in it shall be put to death.
Exo 35:3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the Sabbath day.

Exo 35:4 And Moses spoke to all the Congregation of the sons of Israel, saying,
        This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
Exo 35:5 Take ye from among you an offering to the LORD: whoever [is] of a willing heart,
        let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and bronze,
Exo 35:6 blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine linen, and goats' [hair],
Exo 35:7 and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
Exo 35:8 and oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
Exo 35:9 and beryl stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breast-plate.
Exo 35:10 And every wise of heart among you shall come, and make all that the LORD has commanded;
Exo 35:11 the Tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its buttons, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
Exo 35:12 the Ark, and its staffs, [with] the mercy-seat, and the veil of the covering,
Exo 35:13 the table, and its staffs, and all its vessels, and the show-bread,
Exo 35:14 the lampstand also for the light, and its furniture, and its lamps, with the oil for the light,
Exo 35:15 and the incense-Altar, and its staffs, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the Tabernacle,
Exo 35:16 the Altar of burnt-offering, with its bronze grate, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot,
Exo 35:17 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
Exo 35:18 the pins of the Tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
Exo 35:19 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.
Exo 35:20 And all the Congregation of the sons of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
Exo 35:21 And they came, every man whose heart excited him, and every one whom his spirit made willing,
        [and] they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and for all his service, and for the Holy garments.
Exo 35:22 And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing of heart,
        [and] brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; and every man that offered, [offered] an offering of gold to the LORD.
Exo 35:23 And every man, with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine linen, and goats' [hair], and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought [them].
Exo 35:24 Every one that offered an offering of silver and bronze brought the LORD's offering: and each with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought [it].
Exo 35:25 And all the women that were wise of heart spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, [both] of blue, and of purple, scarlet [and] of crimson, and of fine linen.
Exo 35:26 And all the women whose heart moved them in wisdom spun goats' [hair].
Exo 35:27 And the rulers brought beryl stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breast-plate;
Exo 35:28 and spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
Exo 35:29 The sons of Israel brought a willing offering to the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work,
        which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

Exo 35:30 And Moses said to the sons of Israel,
        See, the LORD has called by name Bezaleel, (the son of Uri, the son of Hur), of the tribe of Judah;
Exo 35:31 and He has filled him with the Spirit of GOD, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
Exo 35:32 and to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
Exo 35:33 and in the cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of wood, to make any manner of artful work.
Exo 35:34 And He has put in his heart that he may teach, [both] he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
Exo 35:35 Them has He filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the skilful workmen, and of the embroiderer,
        in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, in crimson, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, of them that do any work, and of those that devise artful work.
Exo 36:1
        Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise of heart man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding,
        to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the Holy [place], according to all that the LORD had commanded.
Exo 36:2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise of heart man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom,
        every man whose heart excited him to come to the work to do it.
Exo 36:3 And they received from Moses all the offering which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the Holy [place], to make it.
        And they brought yet to him free-offerings every morning.
Exo 36:4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the Holy [place], came every man from his work which they made.
Exo 36:5 And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
Exo 36:6 And Moses gave Commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying,
        Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the Holy [place]. So the people were restrained from bringing.
Exo 36:7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
Exo 36:8
        And every wise of heart man among them that wrought the work of the Tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, scarlet and crimson: he made them [with] cherubim of artful work.
Exo 36:9 The length of one curtain [was] twenty eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains [were] all of one size.
Exo 36:10 And he coupled the five curtains one to another: and [the other] five curtains he coupled one to another.
Exo 36:11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: so he made in the extremity of [another] curtain, in the coupling of the second.
Exo 36:12 Fifty loops he made in one curtain, and fifty loops he made in the edge of the curtain which [was] in the coupling of the second: the loops held one [curtain] to another.
Exo 36:13 And he made fifty buttons of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the buttons. So it became one Tabernacle.
Exo 36:14
          And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the Tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
Exo 36:15 The length of one curtain [was] thirty cubits, four cubits [was] the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains [were] of one size.
Exo 36:16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
Exo 36:17 And he made fifty loops upon the outermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which couples the second.
Exo 36:18 And he made fifty buttons of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
Exo 36:19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above [that].
Exo 36:20
          And he made boards for the Tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
Exo 36:21 The length of a board [was] ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
Exo 36:22 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another; thus did he make for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
Exo 36:23 And he made boards for the Tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward.
Exo 36:24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards;
        two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
Exo 36:25 And for the other side of the Tabernacle [which is] towards the north corner, he made twenty boards.
Exo 36:26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
Exo 36:27 And for the sides of the Tabernacle westward he made six boards.
Exo 36:28 And two boards he made for the corners of the Tabernacle in the two sides.
Exo 36:29 And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at its top, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
Exo 36:30 And there were eight boards; and their sockets [were] sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
Exo 36:31 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the Tabernacle,
Exo 36:32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the Tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the Tabernacle for the sides westward.
Exo 36:33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
Exo 36:34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold [to be] places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
Exo 36:35 And he made a veil of blue, purple, scarlet and crimson, and fine twined linen: [with] cherubim he made it of artful work.
Exo 36:36 And he made to it four pillars of shittim [wood], and overlaid them with gold: their hooks [were of] gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
Exo 36:37 And he made a hanging for the Tabernacle-door of blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen, of needle-work;
Exo 36:38 and the five pillars of it, with their hooks: and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets [were of] bronze.

Exo 37:1 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.
Exo 37:2 And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a crown of gold to it around.
Exo 37:3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, [to be set] by the four footings of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
Exo 37:4 And he made staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Exo 37:5 And he put the staffs into the rings by the sides of the Ark, to bear the Ark.
Exo 37:6 And he made the mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half [was] the length of it, and one cubit and a half the breadth of it.
Exo 37:7 And he made two cherubim of gold, of beaten work he made them, on the two ends of the mercy-seat;
Exo 37:8 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 of it.
Exo 37:9 And the cherubim spread out [their] wings on high, [and] covered with their wings over the mercy-seat,
        with their faces one to another; towards the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.

Exo 37:10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits [was] its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height:
Exo 37:11 and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made to it a crown of gold around.
Exo 37:12 And he made to it a border of a handbreadth around; and made a crown of gold for its border around.
Exo 37:13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that [were] in its four feet.
Exo 37:14 Opposed to the border were the rings, the places for the staffs, to bear the table.
Exo 37:15 And he made the staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
Exo 37:16 And he made the vessels which [were] upon the table, its dishes, and its spoons, and its cups, and its covers to cover with, of pure gold.

Exo 37:17 And he made the lampstand of pure gold; of beaten work he made the lampstand;
        her shaft, and her branches, her cups, her knobs, and her flowers were of the same: [Exo 25:31]
Exo 37:18 and six branches shall extend from its sides;
         (three branches of the lampstand from one side,
        and three branches of the lampstand from the other side).
Exo 37:19 Three cups made like almonds, in one branch, a knob and a flower;
        and three cups made like almonds in [the] other branch, a knob and a flower:
        so for the six branches extend from the lampstand.
Exo 37:20 And in the lampstand [shall be] four cups made like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers:
Exo 37:21 and a knob under two branches of the same,
          and a knob under two branches of the same,
          and a knob under two branches of the same,
          according to the six branches that extend from it.
Exo 37:22 Their knobs and their branches were of the same:
         all of it [was] one beaten work of pure gold.
Exo 37:23 And he made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, of pure gold.
Exo 37:24 Of a talent of pure gold he made it, and all its vessels.

Exo 37:25 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] square; and two cubits [was] the height of it; the horns of it were of the same.
Exo 37:26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, [both] the top of it, and its sides around, and its horns: also he made to it a crown of gold around.
Exo 37:27 And he made two rings of gold for it under its crown, by the two corners of it, upon its two sides, to be places for the staffs to bear it with.

Exo 37:29 And he made the Holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of spices, according to the work of the perfumer.
Exo 38:1  And he made the Altar of burnt-offering of shittim wood: five cubits [was] the length of it, and five cubits the breadth of it; [it was] square; and its height was three cubits.
Exo 38:2  And he made its horns on the four corners of it; its horns were of the same: and he overlaid it with bronze.
Exo 38:3  And he made all the vessels of the Altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, [and] the flesh-hooks, and the fire-pans: all the vessels of it he made of bronze.
Exo 38:4  And he made for the Altar a bronze grate of net-work under the rim of it beneath to the middle of it.
Exo 38:5  And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of bronze, [to be] places for the staffs.
Exo 38:6  And he made the staffs of shittim wood, and overlaid them with bronze.

Exo 38:9  And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court [were of] fine twined linen, a hundred cubits.
Exo 38:10
        Their pillars [were] twenty, and their bronze sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, [were of] silver.

Exo 38:21 This is the sum of the Tabernacle, 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.
Exo 38:22 And Bezaleel, (the son of Uri, the son of Hur), of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 38:23 And with him [was] Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet, in crimson, and fine linen.
Exo 38:24
        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 nine talents, and seven hundred thirty shekels, after the shekel of the Holy [place].
Exo 38:25 And the silver of those that were numbered of the Congregation [was] a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred seventy five shekels, after the shekel of the Holy [place]:
Exo 38:26 a bekah for each, [that is], half a shekel, after the shekel of the Holy [place], for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward,
        for six hundred thousand + three thousand five hundred fifty{603550} [men].
Exo 38:27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the Holy [place], and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

Exo 38:31 and the sockets of the court around, and the sockets of the court-gate, and all the pins of the Tabernacle, and all the pins of the court around.
Exo 39:1 And of the blue, purple, scarlet and crimson, they made clothes of service, to do service in the Holy [place], and made the Holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exo 39:2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen.
Exo 39:3 And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut [it into] wires, to work [it] in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, in the crimson, and in the fine linen, [with] artful work.
Exo 39:4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, to couple [it] together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
Exo 39:5 And the woven girdle of his ephod, that [was] upon it, [was] of the same, according to its work; of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 39:6
        And they wrought beryl stones enclosed in settings of gold, graven as signets are graven, with the names of the sons of Israel.
Exo 39:7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, [that they should be] stones for a memorial to the sons of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 39:8
        And he made the breast-plate of artful work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, and fine twined linen.
Exo 39:9 It was square; they made the breast-plate double: a span [was] the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, [being] doubled.
Exo 39:10 And they set in it four rows of stones:
        [the first] row [was] a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald: this [was] the first row. [Rev 21:19-21]
Exo 39:11 And the second row, a chalcedony, a sapphire, and a sardonyx. [Rev 21:19-21]
Exo 39:12 And the third row, a chrysoprase, a jacinth, and an amethyst. [Rev 21:19-21]
Exo 39:13 And the fourth row, a chrysolite, a beryl, and a jasper: [Rev 21:19-21]
        [they were] enclosed in settings of gold in their settings.
Exo 39:14 And the stones [were] according to the names of the sons of Israel,
        twelve, according to their names,
        [like] the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes. [Rev 21:12]
Exo 39:15 And they made upon the breast-plate chains at the ends, of wreathed work of pure gold.
Exo 39:16 And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings in the two ends of the breast-plate.
Exo 39:17 And they put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breast-plate.
Exo 39:18 And the two ends of the two wreathed chains they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, before it.
Exo 39:19 And they made two rings of gold, and put [them] on the two ends of the breast-plate, upon the border of it, which [was] on the side of the ephod inward.
Exo 39:20 And they made two [other] rings of gold, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, towards the forepart of it, opposed to its coupling, above the woven girdle of the ephod.
Exo 39:21 And they bound the breast-plate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue,
        that it might be above the woven girdle of the ephod, and that the breast-plate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 39:22
        And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
Exo 39:23 And [there was] a hole in the middle of the robe, as the hole of a breast-plate, [with] a band around the hole, that it should not rend.
Exo 39:24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, crimson, [and fine] twined [linen].
Exo 39:25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, around between the pomegranates;
Exo 39:26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe to minister [in]; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 39:27
        And they made coats of fine linen, of woven work, for Aaron and for his sons,
Exo 39:28 and a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
Exo 39:29 and a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, scarlet and crimson, of needle-work; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 39:30
        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.
Exo 39:31 And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 39:32
        Thus was all the work of the Tabernacle of the tent of the Congregation finished: and the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
Exo 39:33 And they brought the Tabernacle to Moses, the tent, and all its furniture, its buttons, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
Exo 39:34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil of the covering,

Exo 39:38 and the golden Altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the Tabernacle-door,
Exo 39:39 the bronze Altar, and its grate of bronze, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot,

Exo 39:41 the clothes of service to do service in the Holy [place], and the Holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
Exo 39:42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel made all the work.
Exo 39:43 And Moses looked upon all the work, and behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

Exo 40:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 40:2 On the first day of the first month shall Thou set up the Tabernacle of the tent of the Congregation.
Exo 40:3  And Thou shall put in it the Ark of the testimony, and cover the Ark with the veil.
Exo 40:4  And Thou shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and Thou shall bring in the lampstand, and light its lamps.

Exo 40:10 And Thou shall anoint the Altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels, and sanctify the Altar: and it shall be an Altar most Holy.
Exo 40:11 And Thou shall anoint the laver and its foot, and sanctify it.
Exo 40:12 And Thou shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.
Exo 40:13 And Thou shall put upon Aaron the Holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to Me in the priest's office.
Exo 40:14 And Thou shall bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
Exo 40:15 And Thou shall anoint them, as Thou did anoint their father, that they may minister to Me in the priest's office:
        for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
Exo 40:16 Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.

Exo 40:17 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.
Exo 40:18 And Moses reared up the Tabernacle, and fastened its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.
Exo 40:19 And he spread abroad the tent over the Tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 40:20
        And he took and put the testimony into the Ark, and set the staffs on the Ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the Ark.
Exo 40:21 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.
Exo 40:22
        And he put the table in the tent of the Congregation, upon the side of the Tabernacle northward, outside the veil.
Exo 40:23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 40:24
        And he put the lampstand in the tent of the Congregation, opposed to the table, on the side of the Tabernacle southward.
Exo 40:25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 40:26
        And he put the golden Altar in the tent of the Congregation, before the veil.
Exo 40:27 And he burnt sweet incense on it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 40:28
        And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the Tabernacle.
Exo 40:29 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 food-offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 40:30
        And he set the laver between the tent of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water there, to wash [with].
Exo 40:31 And Moses, and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and their feet thereat:
Exo 40:32 when they went into the tent of the Congregation, and when they came near to the Altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exo 40:33
        And he reared up the court around the Tabernacle and the Altar, and set up the hanging of the court-gate: so Moses finished the work.

Exo 40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the Congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
Exo 40:35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the Congregation, because the cloud abode upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
Exo 40:36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the Tabernacle, the sons of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
Exo 40:37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not until the day that it was taken up.
Exo 40:38 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.

Lev 1:1 [Scroll 03 Leviticus].
        And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,
Lev 1:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
        When any man of you shall bring an offering to the LORD,
        ye shall bring your offering of the cattle: of the herd and of the flock.
Lev 1:3 If his offering shall [be] a burnt-offering of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish;
        he shall offer it of his own voluntary will to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the LORD;
Lev 1:4 and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him;

        and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
Lev 7:13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer [for] his offering, leavened [bread], with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace-offerings.
Lev 7:14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation [for] a heave-offering to the LORD, [and] it shall be the priest's that sprinkles the blood of the peace-offerings.
Lev 7:15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning;
Lev 7:16 but if the sacrifice of his offering [shall be] a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
Lev 7:17 but the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
Lev 7:18 And if [any] of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings shall be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted,
        neither shall it be imputed to him that offers it; it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

Lev 7:24 And the fat of the beast that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used for any other purpose; but ye may not eat of it.

        and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a statute forever, from among the sons of Israel.
Lev 7:35 This [is the portion] of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons,
        out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day [when] he presented them to minister to the LORD in the priest's office;
Lev 7:36 which the LORD commanded to be given to them by the sons of Israel, in the day that He anointed them, [by] a statute forever throughout their generations.
Lev 7:37 This [is] the Law of the burnt-offering, of the food-offering, and of the sin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings;

        Take the food-offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it unleavened beside the Altar: for it [is] most Holy:
Lev 10:13 and ye shall eat it in the Holy place, because it [is] Thy portion, and Thy sons' portion, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I [am] commanded;
Lev 10:14 and the wave-breast and heave-shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; Thou, and Thy sons, and Thy daughters with Thee:
        for [they are] Thy portion, and Thy sons' portion, [which] are given out of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the sons of Israel.
Lev 10:15 The heave-shoulder and the wave-breast shall they bring, with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave [it for] a wave-offering before the LORD;

Lev 10:16
        And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron [who were] left [alive], saying,
Lev 10:17 Why have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the Holy place, seeing it [is] most Holy, and he has given it you to bear the iniquity of the Congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
Lev 10:18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought within the Holy [place]: ye should have freely eaten it in the Holy [place], as I commanded.
Lev 10:19 And Aaron said to Moses,
        Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering, and their burnt-offering before the LORD;

        whether [it is] any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel [it is], in which [any] work is done,
        it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

Lev 12:1 {Purification of women}.
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 12:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying,
         If a woman has conceived seed, and borne a male-child; then she shall be unclean seven days;
        according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
Lev 12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
Lev 12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purification thirty three days:
        she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the Sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.
Lev 12:5 But if she shall bear a female-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks,
        as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purification sixty six days.
Lev 12:6 And when the days of her purification are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter,
        she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin-offering,
        to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to the priest;
Lev 12:7 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 has borne a male or a female.
Lev 12:8 And if she shall not be able to bring a lamb,
        then she shall bring a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons;
        the one for the burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering:
        and the priest shall make an atonement for <her>, and <she> shall be clean.

Lev 13:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Lev 13:2 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] a plague of leprosy;
        then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests:
Lev 13:3 and the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and [when] the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight [is] deeper than the skin of his flesh, it [is] a plague of leprosy:
        and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
Lev 13:4 If the bright spot [is] white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight, not deeper than the skin, and the hair of it not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him [that has] the plague seven days:
Lev 13:5 and the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and behold, [if] the plague in his sight is at a stay, [and] the plague spreads not in the skin;
        then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
Lev 13:6 and the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and behold, [if] the plague [is] somewhat dark, [and] the plague spreads not in the skin,
        the priest shall pronounce him clean: it [is but] a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Lev 13:7 But if the scab shall spread much in the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen again by the priest:
Lev 13:8 and the priest shall see, and behold, [if] the scab spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a leprosy.
Lev 13:9
        When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest:
Lev 13:10 and the priest shall see, and behold, [if] the rising [is] white in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and living raw flesh [is] in the rising;
Lev 13:11 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.
Lev 13:12 And if a leprosy shall break out in the skin, and the leprosy shall cover all the skin of him [that has] the plague from his head even to his foot, wherever the priest looks;
Lev 13:13 and the priest shall see, and behold, [if] the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean [that has] the plague: it is all turned white: he [is] clean.
Lev 13:14 But in the day raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
Lev 13:15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: [for] the raw flesh [is] unclean: it [is] a leprosy.
Lev 13:16 Or if the raw flesh shall turn back, and be changed into white, he shall come to the priest;
Lev 13:17 and the priest shall see, and behold him, [if] the plague is turned into white: then the priest shall pronounce him clean [that has] the plague: he [is] clean.
Lev 13:18
        The flesh also, in which, in the skin of it, was a boil, and is healed,
Lev 13:19 and in the place of the boil there shall be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the priest;
Lev 13:20 and the priest shall see, and behold, it [is] in sight lower than the skin, and the hair of it [is] turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
Lev 13:21 And if the priest shall see, and behold, [there are] no white hairs in it, and [if] it [is] not lower than the skin, but somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Lev 13:22 and if it has spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague.
Lev 13:23 But if the bright spot shall stay in its place, [and] not spread, it [is] a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Lev 13:24
        Or if there [is any] flesh, in the skin of which [there is] a hot burning, and the live [flesh] that burns has a white bright spot, somewhat reddish or white;

        therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague of leprosy.
Lev 13:26 And if the priest shall see, and behold, [there is] no white hair in the bright spot, and it [is] no lower than the [other] skin, but [is] somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Lev 13:27 and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: [and] if it [is] spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague of leprosy,
Lev 13:28 and if the bright spot shall stay in its place, [and] not spread in the skin, but [be] somewhat dark; it [is] a rising of the burning,
        and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it [is] an inflammation of the burning.
Lev 13:29
        If a man or woman shall have a plague upon the head or the beard;
Lev 13:30 then the priest shall see the plague: and behold, if it [is] in sight deeper than the skin, [and there is] in it a yellow thin hair;
        then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a scab, a leprosy upon the head or beard.
Lev 13:31 And if the priest shall look on the plague of the scab, and behold, it [is] not in sight deeper than the skin, and in it no black hair;
        then the priest shall shut up him [that has] the plague of the scab seven days:
Lev 13:32 and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and behold, [if] the scab spreads not, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the scab [is] not in sight deeper than the skin;
Lev 13:33 he shall be shaven, but the scab shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him [that has] the scab seven days more:
Lev 13:34 and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scab: and behold, [if] the scab is not spread in the skin,
        nor [is] in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Lev 13:35 But if the scab shall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
Lev 13:36 and the priest shall see, and behold him, if the scab is spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he [is] unclean.
Lev 13:37 But if the scab shall be in his sight at a stay, and there is black hair grown in it; the scab is healed, he [is] clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Lev 13:38
        If a man also or a woman shall have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots;
Lev 13:39 and the priest shall see, and behold, [if] the bright spots in the skin of their flesh [are] darkish white; it [is] a pale spot [that] grows in the skin; he [is] clean.
Lev 13:40 And the man whose hair has fallen off his head, he [is] bald; [yet is] he clean.
Lev 13:41 And he who has his hair fallen off from the part of his head towards his face, he [is] forehead-bald; [yet is] he clean.
Lev 13:42 And if there is in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish plague; [it is] a leprosy sprung up on his bald head, or his bald forehead;
Lev 13:43 then the priest shall see it, and behold, [if] the rising of the plague is white reddish on his bald head, or on his bald forehead, as the leprosy appears in the skin of the flesh;
Lev 13:44 he is a leprous man, he [is] unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.
Lev 13:45 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.
Lev 13:46 All the days in which the plague [shall be] in him he shall be defiled; he [is] unclean: he shall dwell alone, outside the camp [shall] his habitation [be].

Lev 13:48 whether in the warp, or woof, of linen, or of wool: whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin:
Lev 13:49 and if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin: it [is] a plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest:
Lev 13:50 and the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up [that which has] the plague seven days:
Lev 13:51 and he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague is spread in the garment,
        either in the warp, or in the woof, [or] in a skin, [or] in any work that is made of skin: the plague [is] a fretting leprosy; it [is] unclean.
Lev 13:52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or any thing of skin, in which the plague is: for it [is] a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
Lev 13:53 And if the priest shall see, and behold, the plague is not spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
Lev 13:54 then the priest shall command that they wash [the thing] in which the plague [is], and he shall shut it up seven days more:
Lev 13:55 and the priest shall look on the plague after it is washed: and behold, [if] the plague has not changed its colour, and the plague has not spread; it [is] unclean;
        Thou shall burn it in the fire; it [is] fret inward, [whether] it [is] bare inside or outside.
Lev 13:56 And if the priest shall see, and behold, the plague [is] somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
Lev 13:57 and if it shall appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it [is] a spreading [plague]: Thou shall burn that in which the plague [is], with fire.

Lev 17:3 Whatever man [there may be] of the House of Israel, that kills an ox, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or that kills [it] outside the camp,
Lev 17:4 and brings it not to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to offer an offering to the LORD before the Tabernacle of the LORD;
        blood shall be imputed to that man; he has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

Lev 17:14 For [it is] the soul of all flesh, the blood of it [is] for the soul of it; therefore I said to the sons of Israel,
        Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the soul of all flesh [is] its blood: whoever eats it shall be cut off.
Lev 17:15 And every soul that eats that which died [of itself], or that which was torn [with beasts], ([whether it is] one of your own country, or a stranger) he shall both wash his clothes,

Lev 24:10 And the son of an Israelitish woman whose man [was] an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel;
        and this son of the Israelitish [woman] and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
Lev 24:11 and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name, and cursed: and they brought him to Moses.
        And his mother's name [was] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
Lev 24:12 And they put him in custody, to explain to them by the mouth of the LORD.
Lev 24:13
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

        and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him.

        Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
Lev 24:16 And he who blasphemes the name of the LORD, he dying, he shall die,
        [and] all the Congregation shall certainly stone him:

        that they should bring forth him that had cursed outside the camp,
        and stone him with stones: and the sons of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Lev 25:1 {Sabbath-Year}.
        And the LORD spoke to Moses in Mount Sinai, saying,
Lev 25:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
         When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Sabbath to the LORD.
Lev 25:3 Six years Thou shall sow Thy field, and six years Thou shall prune Thy vineyard, and gather in its fruit;
Lev 25:4 but in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath, a Sabbath-rest to the land, a Sabbath for the LORD:
         Thou shall neither sow Thy field, nor prune Thy vineyard.
Lev 25:5 That which grows of itself in Thy harvest,
          Thou shall neither reap, nor gather the grapes of Thy vine undressed:
         [for] it is a year of Sabbath-rest to the land.
Lev 25:6 And the Sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for Thee, and for Thy servant, and for Thy maid, and for Thy hired servant, and for Thy stranger that sojourners with Thee,
Lev 25:7 and for Thy cattle, and for the animal that [are] in Thy land, shall all the increase of it be food.
Lev 25:8 {Jubilee}.
        And Thou shall number seven Sabbaths of years to Thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to Thee forty nine years.
Lev 25:9 Then shall Thou cause the shofar of the Jubilee to sound, on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the Day of Atonement shall ye make the shofar sound throughout all your land.
Lev 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land to all its inhabitants: it shall be a Jubilee to you;
        and ye shall return every man to his possession, and ye shall return every man to his family.
Lev 25:11 A Jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of Thy vine undressed.
Lev 25:12 For it [is] the <Jubilee>; it shall be Holy to you: ye shall eat the increase of it out of the field.
Lev 25:13 In the year of this Jubilee ye shall return every man to his possession.
Lev 25:14 And if Thou shall sell aught to Thy neighbour, or buy [aught] of Thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
Lev 25:15 according to the number of years after the Jubilee Thou shall buy of Thy neighbour, [and] according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to Thee:
Lev 25:16 according to the multitude of years Thou shall increase the price of it, and according to the fewness of years Thou shall diminish the price of it: for [according] to the number [of the years] of the fruits does he sell to Thee.
Lev 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but Thou shall fear Thy God: for I [AM] the LORD your God.
Lev 25:18 Therefore ye shall do My Statutes, and keep My Judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
Lev 25:19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
Lev 25:20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase:
Lev 25:21 then I shall command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
Lev 25:22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in ye shall eat of the old [store].
Lev 25:23 And the land shall not be sold forever; for the land [is] Mine, for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with Me.
Lev 25:24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
Lev 25:25
        If Thy brother shall have become poor, and have sold [some] of his possession, and if any of his kin shall come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
Lev 25:26 And if a man shall have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
Lev 25:27 then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.
Lev 25:28 But if he shall not be able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.
Lev 25:29
        And if a man shall sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold: [on this] day he may redeem it.
Lev 25:30 And if it shall not be redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that [is] in the walled city shall be established forever to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the Jubilee,
Lev 25:31 but the houses of the villages which have no walls around them, shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the Jubilee.
Lev 25:32 And the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
Lev 25:33 And if a man shall redeem 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 sons of Israel.
Lev 25:34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it [is] their perpetual possession.
Lev 25:35
        And if Thy brother shall have become poor, and fallen in decay with Thee; then Thou shall relieve him: [though he] may [be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with Thee.
Lev 25:36 Take Thou no interest of him, or increase; but fear Thy God; that Thy brother may live with Thee.
Lev 25:37 Thou shall not give him Thy money upon interest, nor lend him Thy food for increase.
Lev 25:38 I [AM] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, [and] to be your GOD.
Lev 25:39
        And if Thy brother [that dwells] by Thee shall have become poor, and be sold to Thee; Thou shall not compel him to serve as a man-servant:
Lev 25:40 [but] as a hired servant, [and] as a sojourner he shall be with Thee, [and] shall serve Thee to the year of Jubilee.
Lev 25:41 And [then] shall he depart from Thee, [both] he and his sons with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
Lev 25:42 For they [are] My servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen.
Lev 25:43 Thou shall not rule over him with rigor, but shall fear Thy God;
Lev 25:44 both Thy bondmen, and Thy bondmaids, which Thou shall have, [shall be] of the heathen that are around you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
Lev 25:45 And of the sons of the sojourners that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begot in your land: and they shall be your possession.
Lev 25:46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your sons after you, to inherit [them for] a possession, they shall be your servants forever: but over your brethren the sons of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor.
Lev 25:47
        And if a stranger or a sojourner shall become rich by Thee, and Thy brother [that dwells] by him shall become poor, and sell himself to the stranger [or] sojourner by Thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
Lev 25:48 after that he is sold he may be redeemed; one of his brethren may redeem him:
Lev 25:49 either his uncle, or his uncle's son may redeem him, or [any] that is near of kin to him of his family, may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.
Lev 25:50 And he shall count with him that bought him, from the year that he was sold to him, to the year of Jubilee:
        and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him.
Lev 25:51 If [there shall be] yet many years [behind], according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
Lev 25:52 And if there shall remain but few years to the year of Jubilee, then he shall count with him, [and] according to his years shall he give him back the price of his redemption.
Lev 25:53 As a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule with rigor over him in Thy sight.
Lev 25:54 And if he shall not be redeemed in these [years], then he shall go out in the year of Jubilee, [both] he, and his sons with him.
Lev 25:55 For to Me the sons of Israel [are] servants, they [are] My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I [AM] the LORD your God.

Lev 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a pillar, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I [AM] the LORD your God.
Lev 26:2 Ye shall keep My Sabbaths, and reverence My Sanctuary: I [AM] the LORD.
Lev 26:3
        If ye walk in My Statutes, and keep My Commandments, and do them;
Lev 26:4 then I shall give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit:
Lev 26:5 and your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the seed-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
Lev 26:6 And I shall give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you] afraid:
        and I shall rid the land of evil animals, neither shall the sword go through your land.
Lev 26:7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
Lev 26:8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put a myriad to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
Lev 26:9 For I shall have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish My Covenant with you.
Lev 26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
Lev 26:11 And I shall set My Tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
Lev 26:12 And I shall walk among you, and shall be your GOD, and ye shall be My people. [2Co 6:16]
Lev 26:13 I [AM] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen, and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
Lev 26:14
        But if ye shall not listen to Me, and shall not do all these Commandments;
Lev 26:15 and if ye shall despise My Statutes, or if your soul shall abhor My Judgments, so that ye shall not do all My Commandments, [but] that ye break My Covenant:
Lev 26:16 I also shall do this to you, I shall even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of soul: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
Lev 26:17 And I shall 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 pursues you.
Lev 26:18 And if ye shall not yet for all this listen to me, then I shall chastise you seven times more for your sins.
Lev 26:19 And I shall break the pride of your power; and I shall make your Heaven as iron, and your Earth as bronze:
Lev 26:20 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.
Lev 26:21 And if ye shall walk contrary to Me, and will not listen to Me, I shall add a plague onto you seven times according to your sins.
Lev 26:22 I shall also send wild animals 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.
Lev 26:23 And if ye shall not be reformed by me by these [things], but shall walk contrary to Me;
Lev 26:24 then shall I also walk contrary to you, and I shall punish you yet seven times for your sins.
Lev 26:25 And I shall bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of My Covenant:
        and when ye are gathered within your cities, I shall send the pestilence among you: and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
Lev 26:26 When I break the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
Lev 26:27
        And if ye shall not for all this listen to Me, but walk contrary to Me;
Lev 26:28 then I shall walk contrary to you also in fury; and I, even I, shall chastise you seven times for your sins.
Lev 26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
Lev 26:30 And I shall destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
Lev 26:31 And I shall make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I shall not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
Lev 26:32 And I shall bring the land into desolation: and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
Lev 26:33 And I shall scatter you among the heathen, and shall draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
Lev 26:34 Then shall the land enjoy its Sabbaths, all the days of the desolation, and ye [are] in your enemies' land; then shall the land rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths.
Lev 26:35 It shall rest all the days of the desolation; because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
Lev 26:36 And upon them that are left [alive] of you, I shall 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 pursues.
Lev 26:37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
Lev 26:38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
Lev 26:39 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.
Lev 26:40 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 to Me;
Lev 26:41 and [that] I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies;
        if then their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
Lev 26:42 then I shall remember My Covenant with Jacob, and also My Covenant with Isaac, and also My Covenant with Abraham I shall remember; and I shall remember the land.
Lev 26:43 And the land shall be left by them, and shall enjoy her Sabbaths, while she lies 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.
Lev 26:44 And yet for all that, when they shall be in the land of their enemies, I shall not cast them away, neither shall I abhor them, to destroy them utterly,
        and to break My Covenant with them; for I [AM] the LORD their God.
Lev 26:45 But I shall for their sakes remember the Covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their GOD: I [AM] the LORD.
Lev 26:46 These [are] the Statutes, and Judgments, and Laws, which the LORD made between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Lev 27:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 27:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
         When a man shall make a special vow, the souls [shall be] for the LORD, by Thy estimation.
Lev 27:3 And Thy estimation shall be, of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even Thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the Holy [place].
Lev 27:4 And if it [shall be] a female, then Thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
Lev 27:5 And if [it shall be] from five years old even to twenty years old, then Thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Lev 27:6 And if [it shall be] from a month old even to five years old, then Thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female Thy estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver.
Lev 27:7 And if [it shall be] from sixty years old and above; if a male, then Thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Lev 27:8 But if he shall be poorer than Thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him: according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
Lev 27:9
          And if [it shall be] a beast of which men bring an offering to the LORD, all that he gives of such to the LORD shall be Holy.
Lev 27:10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange of it shall be Holy.
Lev 27:11 And if [it shall be] any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
Lev 27:12 and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as Thou value it, [who are] the priest, so shall it be.
Lev 27:13 But if he shall at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth [part] of it to Thy estimation.
Lev 27:14 And when a man shall sanctify his house [to be] Holy to the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
Lev 27:15 And if he who sanctified it shall redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth [part] of the money of Thy estimation to it, and it shall be his.
Lev 27:16 And if a man shall sanctify to the LORD [some part] of a field of his possession, then Thy estimation shall be according to the seed of it: a homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.
Lev 27:17 If he shall sanctify his field from the year of Jubilee, according to Thy estimation it shall stand.

Lev 27:24 In the year of the Jubilee, the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, to him to whom the possession of the land [belonged].
Lev 27:25 And all Thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the Holy [place]: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
Lev 27:26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether ox, or sheep: it [is] the LORD's.
Lev 27:27 And if [it shall be] of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem [it], according to Thy estimation,
        and shall add to it a fifth [part] of it: or if it shall be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to Thy estimation.
Lev 27:28 Nevertheless no devoted thing that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he has, [both] of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed:
        every devoted thing is most Holy to the LORD.
Lev 27:29 None devoted, which shall be devoted by men, shall be redeemed: [but] dying, he shall die.

Lev 27:31 And if a man shall at all redeem [aught] of his tithes, he shall add to it the fifth [part] of it.
Lev 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be Holy to the LORD.

Num 5:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 5:2 Command the sons of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that has an issue, and whoever is defiled by a [dead] soul:
Num 5:3 both male and female shall ye put out, outside the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the middle of which I dwell.
Num 5:4 And the sons of Israel did so, and put them out outside the camp: as the LORD has spoken to Moses, so did the sons of Israel.
Num 5:5
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 5:6 Speak to the sons of Israel,
        When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that soul shall be guilty;
Num 5:7 then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal of it, and add to it the fifth [part] of it, and give [it] to him against whom he has trespassed.
Num 5:8 But if the man shall have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, to the priest; besides the ram of the atonement, by which an atonement shall be made for him.
Num 5:9 And every offering of all the Holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.
Num 5:10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man gives to the priest, it shall be his.
Num 5:11
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 5:12 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
         If any man's wife shall go astray, and commit a trespass against him,
Num 5:13 and a man shall lie with her [with emission of] seed{intercourse}, and it shall be hid from the eyes of her husband,
        and be kept close, and she be defiled, and [there be] no witness against her, neither she be caught;
Num 5:14 and the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
Num 5:15 then shall the man bring his wife to 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 upon it; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance;
Num 5:16 and the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
Num 5:17 and the priest shall take Holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the Tabernacle the priest shall take, and put [it] into the water:
Num 5:18 and the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, 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 causes the curses:
Num 5:19 and the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man has lain with Thee, and if Thou have not gone aside to uncleanness [with another] instead of Thy husband, be Thou free from this bitter water that causes the curses:
Num 5:20 but if Thou have gone aside [to another] instead of Thy husband, and if Thou are defiled, and some man has lain with Thee besides Thy husband:
Num 5:21 then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, May the LORD make Thee a curse and an oath among Thy people, when the LORD does make Thy thigh to perish, and Thy belly to swell;
Num 5:22 and this water that causes the curses shall go into Thy bowels, to make [Thy] belly to swell, and [Thy] thigh to perish. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen!
Num 5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot [them] out with the bitter water:
Num 5:24 and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curses: and the water that causes the curses shall enter into her, [and become] bitter.
Num 5:25 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:
Num 5:26 and the priest shall take a handful of the offering, the memorial of it, and burn [it] upon the Altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
Num 5:27 And when he has made her to drink the water, then it shall be, [that], if she is defiled, and has done trespass against her husband,
        that the water that causes the curses shall enter into her, [and become] bitter,
        and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall perish: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
Num 5:28 And if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
Num 5:29 This [is] the Law of jealousies, when a wife goes astray [to another] instead of her husband, and is defiled;
Num 5:30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he is jealous of his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this Law.
Num 5:31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

Num 6:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 6:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
        When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] to the LORD.
Num 6:3 He shall separate [himself] from wine and shekar{strong drink}, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of shekar{strong drink}, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes, or dried.
Num 6:4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine-tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
Num 6:5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days shall be fulfilled, in which he separates [himself] to the LORD, he shall be Holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
Num 6:6 All the days that he separates [himself] to the LORD, he shall come at no dead soul.
Num 6:7 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.
Num 6:8 All the days of his separation he [is] Holy to the LORD.
Num 6:9 And if any man shall die very suddenly by him, and he has 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.
Num 6:10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation:
Num 6:11 and the priest shall offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by a [dead] soul, and shall hallow his head that day.
Num 6:12 And he shall consecrate to the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass-offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
Num 6:13 And this [is] the Law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation:
Num 6:14 and he shall offer his offering to 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,
Num 6:15 and a basket of Unleavened [Bread], cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of Unleavened [Bread] anointed with oil, and their food-offering and their drink-offerings.
Num 6:16 And the priest shall bring [them] before the LORD, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:
Num 6:17 and he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD, with the basket of Unleavened [Bread]: the priest shall offer also his food-offering, and his drink-offering.
Num 6:18 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.
Num 6:19 And the priest shall take the boiled 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:
Num 6:20 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.
Num 6:21 This [is] the Law of the Nazarite who has vowed, [and of] his offering to the LORD for his separation,
        besides [that] which his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the Law of his separation.

Num 6:22 {Priestly Blessing}.
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 6:23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying,
        On this wise ye shall bless the sons of Israel, saying to them,
Num 6:24 May the LORD bless Thee, and keep Thee.
Num 6:25 May the LORD make His face to shine upon Thee, and be gracious to Thee.
Num 6:26 May the LORD lift up His face upon Thee, and give Thee peace.
Num 6:27 And they shall put My name upon the sons of Israel, and I shall bless them.

Num 7:1 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 its instruments, both the Altar and all its vessels, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;

Num 8:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 8:2 Speak to Aaron, and say to him,
        When Thou lightest the lamps, the <seven lamps> shall give light opposed to the <lampstand>.

Num 8:23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 8:24 This [is it] that [pertains] to the Levites: from twenty five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation:
Num 8:25 and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service [of it], and shall serve no more:
Num 8:26 but shall minister with their brethren in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shall Thou do to the Levites concerning their charge.

Num 9:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Num 9:2 Let the sons of Israel also keep the Passover at its appointed season.
Num 9:3 In the fourteenth day of this month, between the evenings, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, shall ye keep it.
Num 9:4 And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
Num 9:5 And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month between the evenings in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the sons of Israel.
Num 9:6 And there were men, who were defiled by a [dead] soul of a man, that they could not keep the Passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
Num 9:7 and those men said to him, We [are] defiled by a [dead] soul of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in its appointed season among the sons of Israel?
Num 9:8 And Moses said to them, Stand still, and I shall hear what the LORD shall command concerning you.
Num 9:9
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 9:10 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying,
        If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by a [dead] soul, or [be] in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the Passover to the LORD.
Num 9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month between the evenings, they shall keep it, [and] eat it with Unleavened [Bread] and bitter [herbs].
Num 9:12 They shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break any bone: according to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it. [Joh 19:36]
Num 9:13 But the man that [is] clean, and is not in a journey, and forbears to keep the Passover, even that soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in its appointed season,
        that man shall bear his sin.
Num 9:14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and shall keep the Passover to the LORD; according to the ordinance of the Passover,
        and according to the manner of it, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

Num 9:15 And on the day that the Tabernacle was erected the cloud covered the Tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony: and at evening there was upon the Tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
Num 9:16 So it was always; the cloud covered it [by day], and the appearance of fire by night.
Num 9:17
        And when the cloud was taken up from the Tabernacle, then after that the sons of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel pitched their tents.
Num 9:18 At the Commandment of the LORD the sons of Israel journeyed, and at the Commandment of the LORD they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the Tabernacle they rested in their tents.
Num 9:19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the Tabernacle many days, then the sons of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
Num 9:20 And [so] it was, when the cloud was a [few] number of 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.
Num 9:21 And [so] it was, when the cloud abode from evening to the morning, and [that] the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether [it was] by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
Num 9:22 Or [whether it was] two days, or a month, or [many] days, that the cloud tarried upon the Tabernacle, remaining upon it, the sons of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
Num 9:23 At the Commandment of the LORD they rested in the 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.

Num 10:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 10:2 Make Thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shall Thou make them; that Thou may use them for the convocation of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
Num 10:3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to Thee to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Num 10:4 And if they blow [but] with one, then the princes, [who are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall assemble themselves to Thee.
Num 10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
Num 10:6 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.
Num 10:7 But when the Congregation is to be convened, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
Num 10:8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance forever throughout your generations.
Num 10:9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses 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.
Num 10:10 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.

Num 10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the Tabernacle of the testimony.
Num 10:12 And the sons of Israel took their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
Num 10:13 And they first took their journey according to the Commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
Num 10:14 In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah according to their armies: and over his army [was] Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
Num 10:15 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Issachar [was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
Num 10:16 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun [was] Eliab the son of Helon.
Num 10:17 And the Tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari moved forward, bearing the Tabernacle.
Num 10:18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben moved forward according to their armies: and over his army [was] Elizur the son of Shedeur.
Num 10:19 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Simeon [was] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
Num 10:20 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Gad [was] Eliasaph the son of Deuel{Reuel}.
Num 10:21 And the Kohathites moved forward, bearing the Sanctuary: and [the other] set up the Tabernacle for when they came.
Num 10:22 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim moved forward according to their armies: and over his army [was] Elishama the son of Ammihud.
Num 10:23 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh [was] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
Num 10:24 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin [was] Abidan the son of Gideoni.
Num 10:25 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan moved forward, [which was] the rearward of all the camps throughout their armies: and over his army [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
Num 10:26 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Asher [was] Pagiel the son of Ocran.
Num 10:27 And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali [was] Ahira the son of Enan.
Num 10:28 Thus [were] the journeyings of the sons of Israel according to their armies, when they moved forward.

Num 10:29 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law,
        We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, I shall give it to you: come Thou with us, and we shall do Thee good: for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel.
Num 10:30 And he said to him, I shall not go; but I shall depart to My own land, and to My kindred.
Num 10:31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray Thee; forasmuch as Thou know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and Thou may be to us instead of eyes.
Num 10:32 And it shall be, if Thou shall go with us, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same shall we do to Thee.

Num 10:33 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 seek a resting-place for them.
Num 10:34 And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
Num 10:35
        And it came to pass, when the Ark moved forward, that Moses said,
        Arise, LORD, and let Thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee.
Num 10:36 And when it rested, he said,
        Return, LORD, to [the] myriads of thousands of Israel.

Num 11:1 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 edge of the camp.
Num 11:2 And the people cried to Moses; and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched.
Num 11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah; because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
Num 11:4
        And the mixed multitude that [was] among them fell to lusting: and the sons of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Num 11:5 We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt freely: the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
Num 11:6 but now our soul [is] dried away; [there is] nothing at all, besides this manna, [before] our eyes.
Num 11:7 And the manna [was] as coriander-seed, and the colour of it as the colour of bdellium.
Num 11:8 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 moisture in oil.
Num 11:9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
Num 11:10 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent. And the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly: Moses also was displeased.
Num 11:11 And Moses said to the LORD, Why have Thou afflicted Thy servant? And why have I not found grace in Thy eyes, that Thou lay the burden of all this people upon me?
Num 11:12 Have I conceived all this people? Have I begotten them, that Thou should say to me, Carry them in Thy bosom, as a nursing-father bears the sucking child, to the land which Thou swore to their fathers?
Num 11:13 Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Num 11:14 I [am] not able to bear all this people alone, because [it is] too heavy for me.
Num 11:15 And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray Thee, out of hand, if I have found grace in Thy eyes; and let me not see my wretchedness.
Num 11:16
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom Thou know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them;
        and bring them to the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that they may stand there with Thee.
Num 11:17 And I shall come down and talk with Thee there: and I shall take of the Spirit which [is] upon Thee,
        and shall put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with Thee, that Thou may not bear it thyself alone.
Num 11:18 And say Thou to 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 shall give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Num 11:19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
Num 11:20 [but] even a whole month, until it shall come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you;
        because ye have despised the LORD who [is] among you, and have wept before him, saying,
        Why came we forth out of Egypt?
Num 11:21 And Moses said,
        The people among whom I [am], [are] six hundred thousand footmen; and Thou have said, I shall give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
Num 11:22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice for them?
Num 11:23
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Is the LORD's hand shortened? Thou shall see now whether My word shall be to Thee, or not.
Num 11:24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tabernacle.
Num 11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it] to the seventy elders:
        and it came to pass, [that] when the Spirit rested upon them; they prophesied, and did not cease.
Num 11:26 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 described, but went not out to the Tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
Num 11:27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
Num 11:28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one] of his young men, answered and said, my lord, Moses, forbid them.
Num 11:29 And Moses said to him, Envy Thou for my sake? I would that all the LORD's people were prophets, [and] that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them.
Num 11:30 And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Num 11:31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp,
        as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, around the camp,
        and as it were two cubits [high] upon the face of the Earth.
Num 11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails.
        He who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves around the camp.
Num 11:33 And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people,
        and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
Num 11:34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
Num 11:35 The people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth: and abode at Hazeroth.

Num 12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for he had taken a Cushite wife{racism}.
Num 12:2 And they said, has the LORD indeed spoke only by Moses? Has he not spoke also by us? And the LORD heard [it];
Num 12:3 (now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men who [were] upon the face of the Earth).
Num 12:4
        And the LORD said to Moses suddenly, and to Aaron, and to Miriam,
        Come out ye three to the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And they three came out.
Num 12:5 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.
Num 12:6 And He said, Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you,
       [I] the LORD shall make Myself known to him in a vision, [and] shall speak to him in a dream.
Num 12:7 My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all My house.
Num 12:8 With him shall I speak mouth to mouth, even clearly, and not in riddles;
        and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: why then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?
Num 12:9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and He departed.
Num 12:10 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{punishment for racism}.
Num 12:11 And Aaron said to Moses,
        O my lord, I beseech Thee, lay not the sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
Num 12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.
Num 12:13 And Moses cried to the LORD, saying,
        Heal her now, God, I beseech Thee.
Num 12:14 And the LORD said to Moses,
        If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days?
        Let her be shut outside the camp for seven days, and after that let her be received [again].
Num 12:15 And Miriam was shut outside the camp for seven days: and the people journeyed not until Miriam was brought in [again].
Num 12:16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

Num 13:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 13:2 Send Thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
        of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
Num 13:3 And Moses, by the Commandment of the LORD, sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the sons of Israel.
Num 13:4 And these [were] their names:
          Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
Num 13:5  Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
Num 13:6  Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
Num 13:7  Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
Num 13:8  Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea{Joshua} the son of Nun.
Num 13:9  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
Num 13:10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
Num 13:11 Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
Num 13:12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
Num 13:13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
Num 13:14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
Num 13:15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
Num 13:16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to explore the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
Num 13:17 And Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up this [way] southward, and ascend the mountain:
Num 13:18 and see the land, what it [is]; and the people that dwell in it, whether they [are] strong or weak, few or many;
Num 13:19 and what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it [is] good or bad; and what cities [they are] that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strong holds;
Num 13:20 and what the land [is], whether it [is] fertile or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the first ripe grapes.
Num 13:21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
Num 13:22 And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, born of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt).
Num 13:23 And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Num 13:24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster [of grapes] which the sons of Israel cut down from thence.
Num 13:25 And they returned from exploring the land after forty days.
Num 13:26
        And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the Congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh;
        and brought back word to them, and to all the Congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
Num 13:27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land where Thou sent us, and surely it flowing with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.
Num 13:28 However the people [are] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover, we saw those born of Anak there.
Num 13:29 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 the Jordan.
Num 13:30 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.
Num 13:31 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.
Num 13:32 And they brought an evil report of the land which they had searched to the sons of Israel,
        saying, The land through which we have passed to search it, [is] a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it, [are] men of a great stature.
Num 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [who come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Num 14:1 And all the Congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
Num 14:2 And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole Congregation said to them, that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or that we had died in this wilderness!
Num 14:3 And why has the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? Is it not better for us to return into Egypt?
Num 14:4 And they said one to another, Let us make a chief, and let us return into Egypt.
Num 14:5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the Congregation of the sons of Israel.
Num 14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [who were] of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
Num 14:7 and they spoke to all the Congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good land.
Num 14:8 If the LORD delights in us, then He shall bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land that flowing with milk and honey.
Num 14:9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence has departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not.
Num 14:10 But all the Congregation required to stone them with stones: and the glory of the LORD appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before all the sons of Israel.
Num 14:11
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Until when shall-treated this people provoke Me? And until when shall they not believe Me,
        for all the signs which I have shown among them?
Num 14:12 I shall smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and shall make of Thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
Num 14:13 And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear [it], (for Thou brought up this people in Thy might from among them).
Num 14:14 And they shall tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land: [for] they have heard that Thou LORD [are] among this people, that Thou LORD are seen eyes to eyes,
        and [that] Thy cloud stands over them, and [that] Thou go before them, by day-time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
Num 14:15 Now [if] Thou shall kill [all] this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of Thee shall speak, saying,
Num 14:16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He has slain them in the wilderness.
Num 14:17 And now, I beseech Thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as Thou have spoken, saying,
Num 14:18 The LORD [is] patient, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty],
        visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and the fourth [generation].
Num 14:19 Pardon, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Thy mercy, and as Thou have forgiven this people, from Egypt, even until now.
Num 14:20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to Thy word:
Num 14:21 but [as] truly [as] I live, all the Earth shall be filled [with] the glory of the LORD;
Num 14:22 because all those men who have seen My glory, and My miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness,
        and have tempted Me now these ten times, and have not listened to My voice;
Num 14:23 surely, they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked Me see it:
Num 14:24 but My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed Me fully, him shall I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it;
Num 14:25 (now the Amalekites, and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley). Tomorrow turn ye, and pass into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.
Num 14:26
        And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Num 14:27 Until when [shall I bear with] this evil Congregation, which murmur against Me?
        I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against Me.
Num 14:28 Say to them, [As truly as] I live, said the LORD, as ye have spoken in my ears, so I shall do to you:
Num 14:29 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, who have murmured against Me,
Num 14:30 doubtless ye shall not come into the land [concerning] which I swore to make you dwell in it,
        except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Num 14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them shall I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
Num 14:32 But [as for] you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
Num 14:33 And your sons shall wander in the wilderness forty years,
        and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses shall be wasted in the wilderness.
Num 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, forty days, [Num 13:25]
        (each day for a year) shall ye bear your iniquities, forty years,
        and ye shall know My displeasure.
Num 14:35
        I the LORD have said, I shall surely do it to all this evil Congregation, that are gathered against Me: in this wilderness, they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Num 14:36 And the men whom Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the Congregation to murmur against him, by bringing a slander upon the land,
Num 14:37 even those men that brought the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
Num 14:38 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [who were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still].
Num 14:39 And Moses told these sayings to all the sons of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
Num 14:40 And they rose early in the morning, and ascended to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we [are here], and shall go up to the place which the LORD has promised: for we have sinned.
Num 14:41 And Moses said, Why now do ye transgress the Commandment of the LORD? But it shall not prosper.
Num 14:42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
Num 14:43 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 shall not be with you.
Num 14:44 But they presumed to go up to the mountain-top:
          but the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not the middle of the camp.
Num 14:45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that mountain, and smote them, and discomfited them, to Hormah.

Num 15:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 15:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
         When ye shall have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
Num 15:3 and shall make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a free-will-offering,
        or in your solemn Festivals, to make a sweet savour to the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:
Num 15:4 then shall he who offers his offering to the LORD bring a food-offering of a tenth [part] of flour mingled with the fourth [part] of a hin of oil.
Num 15:5 And the fourth [part] of a hin of wine for a drink-offering shall Thou prepare with the burnt-offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
Num 15:6 Or for a ram, Thou shall prepare [for] a food-offering two tenth [parts] of flour mingled with the third [part] of a hin of oil.
Num 15:7 And for a drink-offering Thou shall offer the third [part] of a hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour to the LORD.
Num 15:8 And when Thou prepare a bull [for] a burnt-offering, or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace-offerings to the LORD:
Num 15:9 then shall he bring with a bull a food-offering of three tenth [parts] of flour mingled with half a hin of oil.
Num 15:10 And Thou shall bring for a drink-offering half a hin of wine,
        [it is] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD:
Num 15:11 thus shall it be done for one bull, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
Num 15:12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
Num 15:13 All that are born in the country shall do these [things] after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.
Num 15:14 And if a stranger shall sojourn with you, or whoever shall [be] among you in your generations,
        and shall offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD;
        as ye do, so he shall do.
Num 15:15 One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the Congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourners [with you],
        an ordinance forever in your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
Num 15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourners with you.
Num 15:17
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 15:18 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
          When ye come into the land where I bring you,
Num 15:19 then it shall be, that when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering to the LORD.
Num 15:20 Ye shall offer a cake of the first of your dough [for] a heave-offering: as [ye do] the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it.
Num 15:21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give to the LORD a heave-offering in your generations.
Num 15:22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these Commandments which the LORD has spoken to Moses,
Num 15:23 all that the LORD has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded [Moses], and henceforward among your generations;
Num 15:24 then it shall be, if [aught] shall be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the Congregation,
        that all the Congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savour to the LORD,
        with his food-offering, and his drink-offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.
Num 15:25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the Congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it [is] ignorance:
        and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD,
        and their sin-offering before the LORD, for their ignorance.
Num 15:26
        And it shall be forgiven all the Congregation of the sons of Israel, and the stranger that sojourners among them; seeing all the people [were] in ignorance.
Num 15:27 And if any soul shall sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.
Num 15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sins ignorantly, when he sins by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
Num 15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sins through ignorance, [both for] him that is born among the sons of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourners among them;
Num 15:30 but the soul that does [aught] presumptuously, [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproaches the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people;
Num 15:31 because he has despised the word of the LORD, and has broken His Commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity [shall be] upon him.
Num 15:32
        And while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day.
Num 15:33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the Congregation.
Num 15:34 And they put him in custody, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
Num 15:35
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        The man dying, he shall die: all the Congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.
Num 15:36 And all the Congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Num 15:37 And the LORD said to Moses, saying,
Num 15:38 Speak to the sons of Israel,
          and bid them that they make them fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribbon of blue:
Num 15:39 and it shall be to you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the Commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go astray:
Num 15:40 that ye may remember, and do all My Commandments, and be Holy to your God.
Num 15:41 I [AM] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your GOD: I [AM] the LORD your God.

Num 16:1 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]:
Num 16:2 and they rose up before Moses, with some of the sons of Israel, two hundred fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the Congregation, men of renown:
Num 16:3 and they assembled themselves against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the Congregation [are] Holy,
        every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: why then do ye raise yourselves above the Congregation of the LORD?
Num 16:4 And when Moses heard [it], he fell upon his face:
Num 16:5 and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, Even tomorrow the LORD shall show who [are] His, and [who is] Holy;
        and shall cause him to come near to Him: even him whom He has chosen shall He cause to come near to Him.
Num 16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
Num 16:7 and put fire in them, and put incense in them before the LORD tomorrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD does choose, he [shall be] Holy: [ye take] too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
Num 16:8 And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
Num 16:9 [Seems it but] a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the Congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the Tabernacle of the LORD,
        and to stand before the Congregation to minister to them?
Num 16:10 And he has brought Thee near [to him], and all Thy brethren the sons of Levi with Thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
Num 16:11 For which cause [both] Thou and all Thy company [are] assembled against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
Num 16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: who said, We shall not come up:
Num 16:13 [is it] a small thing that Thou have brought us up out of a land that flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except Thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
Num 16:14 And Thou have not brought us into a land that flowing with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: shall Thou put out the eyes of these men? We shall not come up.
Num 16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said to the LORD, Respect not Thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
Num 16:16 And Moses said to Korah, Be Thou and all Thy company before the LORD, Thou, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
Num 16:17 and take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred fifty censers; Thou also and Aaron each [of you] his censer;
Num 16:18 and they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on them, and stood in the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron.
Num 16:19 And Korah gathered all the Congregation against them to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Congregation.
Num 16:20
        And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Num 16:21 Separate yourselves from among this Congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
Num 16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and shall Thou be wroth with all the Congregation?
Num 16:23
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 16:24 Speak to the Congregation, saying,
          Withdraw yourselves from about the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
Num 16:25 And Moses rose up, and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Num 16:26 And he spoke to the Congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
Num 16:27 So they withdrew from the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
Num 16:28 And Moses said, by this ye shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works: for [I have] not [done them] of My own heart.
Num 16:29 If these men shall die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD has not sent me.
Num 16:30 But if the LORD shall make a new thing, and the Earth shall open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain] to them, and they go down alive into Sheol;
        then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
Num 16:31
        And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground cleaved asunder that [was] under them:
Num 16:32 and the Earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that [appertained] to Korah, and [all their] goods.
Num 16:33 They, and all that [appertained] to them go down alive into Sheol, and the Earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the Congregation.
Num 16:34 And all Israel that [were] around them, fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the Earth swallow us up [also].
Num 16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred fifty men that offered incense.
Num 16:36
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 16:37 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he takes up the censers out of the burning, and scatter Thou the fire there; for they are hallowed.
Num 16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates [for] a covering of the Altar:
        for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign to the sons of Israel.
Num 16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, with which they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad [plates for] a covering of the Altar:
Num 16:40 [To be] a memorial to the sons of Israel, that no stranger, who [is] not of the seed of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before the LORD;
        that he may not be as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD has spoken to him by the hand of Moses.
Num 16:41 But all the Congregation of the sons of Israel murmured on the morrow against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
Num 16:42
        And it came to pass, when the Congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked towards the Tabernacle of the Congregation:
        and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
Num 16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Num 16:44
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 16:45 Remove from among this Congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
Num 16:46 And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire in it from off the Altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to the Congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
Num 16:47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the middle of the Congregation; and behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
Num 16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Num 16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.
Num 16:50 And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and the plague was stayed.
Num 17:1
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 17:2 Speak to the sons 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.
Num 17:3 And Thou shall write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.
Num 17:4 And Thou shall lay them in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the testimony, where I shall meet with you.
Num 17:5 And it shall be, [that] the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I shall make to cease from Me the murmurings of the sons of Israel, by which they murmur against you.
Num 17:6
        And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel,
        and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to [the] houses of their fathers,
        twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron [was] among their rods.
Num 17:7 And Moses laid the rods before the LORD in the Tabernacle of witness.
Num 17:8
        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 had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
Num 17:9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the sons of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
Num 17:10
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Bring Aaron's rod back, before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the rebels; and Thou shall quite take away their murmurings from Me, that they die not.
Num 17:11 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
Num 17:12 And the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
Num 17:13 Whoever approaches the Tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

Num 18:1 And the LORD said to Aaron, Thou and Thy sons and Thy father's house with Thee shall bear the iniquity of the Sanctuary: and Thou and Thy sons with Thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
Num 18:2 And Thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of Thy father, bring Thou with Thee, that they may be joined to Thee, and minister to Thee: but Thou and Thy sons with Thee [shall minister] before the Tabernacle of witness.
Num 18:3 And they shall keep Thy charge, and the charge of all the Tabernacle: only they shall not come near the vessels of the Holy [place] and the Altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
Num 18:4 And they shall be joined to Thee, and keep the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for all the service of the Tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come near to you.
Num 18:5 And ye shall keep the charge of the Holy [place], and the charge of the Altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the sons of Israel.
Num 18:6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the sons of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Num 18:7 Therefore Thou and Thy sons with Thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the Altar, and within the veil;
        and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office [to you as] a service of gift: and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.
Num 18:8
        And the LORD spoke to Aaron, Behold, I also have given Thee the charge of My heave-offerings of all the hallowed things of the sons of Israel;
        to Thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to Thy sons, by a statute forever.
Num 18:9 This shall be Thy of the most Holy things [reserved] from the fire:
        every oblation of theirs,
        every food-offering of theirs,
        and every sin-offering of theirs,
        and every trespass-offering of theirs,
        which they shall render to Me, [shall be] most Holy for Thee and for Thy sons.
Num 18:10 As the most Holy [things] shall Thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be Holy to Thee.
Num 18:11 And this [is] Thy; the heave-offering of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel:
        I have given them to Thee, and to Thy sons, and to Thy daughters with Thee, by a statute forever:
        every one that is clean in Thy house shall eat of it.
Num 18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and of the grain, the first-fruit of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them have I given to Thee.
Num 18:13 Whatever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring to the LORD, shall be Thy; every one that is clean in Thy house shall eat of it;
Num 18:14 everything devoted in Israel shall be Thy,
Num 18:15 everything that opens the womb in all flesh, which they bring to the LORD,
        [whether] of men or beast, shall be Thy:
        nevertheless the first-born of man shall Thou surely redeem,
        and the firstling of unclean beasts shall Thou redeem.
Num 18:16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shall Thou redeem,
        according to Thy estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the Holy [place], which [is] twenty gerahs.
Num 18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat,
        Thou shall not redeem; they [are] Holy:
        Thou shall sprinkle their blood upon the Altar,
        and shall burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour to the LORD.
Num 18:18 And the flesh of them shall be Thy, as the wave-breast and as the right shoulder are Thy.
Num 18:19 All the heave-offerings of the Holy things, which the sons of Israel offer to the LORD,
        have I given to Thee, and to Thy sons and Thy daughters with Thee, by a statute forever:
        it [is] a Covenant of salt forever before the LORD to Thee and to Thy seed with Thee.
Num 18:20
        And the LORD said to Aaron, Thou shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall Thou have any part among them: I [am] Thy part and Thy inheritance among the sons of Israel.
Num 18:21 And behold, I have given the sons of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation;
Num 18:22 neither must the sons of Israel henceforth come near the Tabernacle of the Congregation, lest they bear sin, and die;
Num 18:23 but the Levites shall do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [It shall be] a statute forever throughout your generations, and that among the sons of Israel they have no inheritance;
Num 18:24 but the tithes of the sons of Israel, which they offer [as] a heave-offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said to them, Among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Num 18:25
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 18:26 Thus speak to the Levites, and say to them,
        When ye take of the sons 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, a tenth [part] of the tithe.
Num 18:27 And [this] your heave-offering shall be counted to you, as though [it were] the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
Num 18:28 Thus ye also shall offer a heave-offering to the LORD of all your tithes which ye receive of the sons of Israel; and ye shall give of them the LORD's heave-offering to Aaron the priest.
Num 18:29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave-offering of the LORD, of all the best of it, its hallowed part out of it.
Num 18:30 And Thou shall say to them, When ye have heaved from it the best of it, then it shall be counted to the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the winepress.
Num 18:31 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.
Num 18:32 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 sons of Israel, lest ye die.

Num 19:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Num 19:2 This [is] the ordinance of the Law which the LORD has commanded, saying,
        Speak to the sons of Israel, that they bring Thee a red heifer without spot, in which [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came a yoke:
Num 19:3 and ye shall give her to Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth outside the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face:
Num 19:4 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:
Num 19:5 and [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
Num 19:6 and the priest shall take cedar-wood, hyssop, scarlet, crimson and cast [it] into the middle of the burning of the heifer.
Num 19:7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water,
        and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.
Num 19:8 And he who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
Num 19:9 And a man [that is] clean shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] outside the camp in a clean place,
        and it shall be kept for the Congregation of the sons of Israel, for a water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin.
Num 19:10 And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening:
        and it shall be to the sons of Israel, and to the stranger that sojourners among them, for a statute forever.
Num 19:11 He who touches the dead soul of any man shall be unclean seven days.
Num 19:12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean:
        but if he shall not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
Num 19:13 Whoever touches the dead soul of any man that is dead, and purifies not himself,
        defiles the Tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel:
        because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him.
Num 19:14 This [is] the Law, when a man dies in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
Num 19:15 And every open vessel, which has no covering bound upon it, [is] unclean.
Num 19:16 And whoever touches one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead [person], or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
Num 19:17 And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put to it in a vessel:
Num 19:18 and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in the water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels,
        and upon the souls that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
Num 19:19 and the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day:
        and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
Num 19:20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the Congregation,
        because he has defiled the Sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation has not been sprinkled upon him: he [is] unclean.
Num 19:21 And it shall be a statute forever to them, that he who sprinkles the water of separation shall wash his clothes;
        and he who touches the water of separation shall be unclean until the evening.
Num 19:22 And whatever the unclean [person] touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches [it] shall be unclean until the evening.

Num 20:1 Then came the sons of Israel, 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.
Num 20:2 And there was no water for the Congregation: and they assembled themselves against Moses and against Aaron.
Num 20:3 And the people strove with Moses, and said, saying, that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
Num 20:4 And why have ye brought the Congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
Num 20:5 And why have ye brought us up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place?
        It [is] no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither [is] there any water to drink.
Num 20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
        and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
Num 20:7
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 20:8 Take the rod, and convene Thou the assembly, Thou, and Aaron Thy brother, and speak ye to the Rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth its water,
        and Thou shall bring forth to them water out of the Rock: so Thou shall give drink to the Congregation and their beasts.
Num 20:9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as He commanded him.
Num 20:10 And Moses and Aaron assembled the Congregation before the Rock, and he said to them, Hear now, ye rebels; shall we fetch you water out of this Rock?
Num 20:11
        And Moses lifted 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].
Num 20:12 And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, Because ye believed Me not, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the sons of Israel,
        therefore ye shall not bring this Congregation into the land which I have given them.
Num 20:13 This [is] the water of Meribah; because the sons of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

Num 20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says Thy brother Israel, Thou know all the travail that has befallen us:
Num 20:15 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians afflicted us, and our fathers:
Num 20:16 and when we cried to the LORD, He heard our voice, and sent an Angel, and has brought us forth from Egypt: and behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of Thy border.
Num 20:17 Let us pass, I pray Thee, through Thy country: we shall not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither shall we drink of the water of the wells:
        we shall go by the king's [high]-way, we shall not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed Thy borders.
Num 20:18 And Edom said to him, Thou shall not pass by me, lest I come out against Thee with the sword.
Num 20:19 And the sons of Israel said to him, We shall go by the highway: and if I and my cattle drink of Thy water,
        then I shall pay for it: I shall only, without [doing] anything [else], go through on my feet.
Num 20:20 And he said, Thou shall not go through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
Num 20:21 And Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: therefore Israel turned away from him.
Num 20:22 And the sons of Israel, the whole Congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came to Mount Hor.

Num 20:23 {The death of Aaron}.
        And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron in Mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
Num 20:24 Aaron shall be gathered to his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel,
        because ye rebelled against My word at the water of Meribah.
Num 20:25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor:
Num 20:26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [to his people], and shall die there.
Num 20:27 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they ascended Mount Hor in the sight of all the Congregation.
Num 20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the Mount:
        and Moses and Eleazar came down from the Mount.
Num 20:29 And when all the Congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, all the House of Israel.

Num 21:1 And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners.
Num 21:2 And Israel vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If Thou shall indeed deliver this people into My hand, then I shall utterly destroy their cities.
Num 21:3 And the LORD listened 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{anathema}.
Num 21:4 And they departed from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom:
        and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
Num 21:5 {The bronze serpent}.
        And the people spoke against GOD, and against Moses, Why 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 loathes this light bread.
Num 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
Num 21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against Thee;
        pray to the LORD, that He take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Num 21:8
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Make Thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole:
        and it shall be, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live.
Num 21:9 And Moses made a serpent of bronze, 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 bronze, he lived.

Num 21:10 And the sons of Israel moved forward, and pitched in Oboth.
Num 21:11 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-Abarim, in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, towards the sun-rising.
Num 21:12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
Num 21:13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon,
        which [is] in the wilderness that comes out of the coasts of the Amorites:
        for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Num 21:14
        Therefore it is said in the Book of the wars of the LORD,
        Vaheb in Suphah, and in the brooks of Arnon,
Num 21:15 and at the stream of the brooks that goes down to the dwelling of Ar, and lies upon the border of Moab.
Num 21:16 And from thence [they went] to Beer: that [is] the well of which the LORD spoke to Moses, Assemble the people, and I shall give them water.
Num 21:17 {Song at the well}.
        Then Israel sung this song, Spring up, well; sing ye to it:
Num 21:18 the princes dig the well, the nobles of the people dig it,
        by [the direction of] the Lawgiver, with their staffs.
        And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:
Num 21:19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
Num 21:20 and from Bamoth [in] the valley, that [is] in the country of Moab,
        to the top of Pisgah, which looks towards Jeshimon.

Num 21:21 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Num 21:22 Let me pass through Thy land: we shall not turn into the fields,
        or into the vineyards; we shall not drink of the waters of the well:
        [but] we shall go along by the king's [high]-way, until we have past Thy borders.
Num 21:23 And Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border:
        but Sihon collected all his people, and went out against Israel,
        into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel:
Num 21:24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword,
        and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok,
        even to the sons of Ammon:
        for the border of the sons of Ammon [was] strong.
Num 21:25 And Israel took all these cities:
        and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites,
        in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
Num 21:26 For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites,
        who had fought against the former king of Moab,
        and taken all his land out of his hand, even to Arnon.
Num 21:27 {Victory Song}.
        Therefore they that speak in proverbs say,
        Come into Heshbon,
        let the city of Sihon be built and prepared.
Num 21:28 For there has a fire gone out of Heshbon,
        a flame from the city of Sihon:
        it has consumed Ar of Moab,
        [and] the lords of the high places of Arnon.
Num 21:29 Woe to Thee, Moab!
        Thou are undone, people of Chemosh:
        he has given his sons that escaped,
        and his daughters, into captivity,
        to Sihon king of the Amorites.
Num 21:30 We have shot at them;
        Heshbon has perished even to Dibon,
        and we have laid them waste even to Nophah,
        which [reaches] to Medeba.
Num 21:31 And Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
Num 21:32
        And Moses sent to explore Jazer, and they took its villages, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there.
Num 21:33 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.

Num 21:34 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Fear him not: for I have delivered him into Thy hand, and all his people, and his land;
        and Thou shall do to him as Thou did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
Num 21:35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left to him alive:
        and they possessed his land.
Num 22:1 And the sons of Israel moved forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan [by] Jericho.
Num 22:2 {Balaam}.
        And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Num 22:3 And Moab was greatly afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the sons of Israel.
Num 22:4 And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all [that are] around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.
        And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king of the Moabites at that time.
Num 22:5 And he sent messengers therefore to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which [is] by the river of the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying,
        Behold, there has a people come out of Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the Earth, and they abide opposed to me.
Num 22:6 Come now therefore, I pray Thee, Curse for me this people; for they [are] too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, [that] we may smite them, and [that] I may drive them out of the land:
        for I know that he whom Thou bless [is] blessed, and he whom Thou curse is cursed.
Num 22:7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
Num 22:8 And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I shall bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
Num 22:9 And GOD came to Balaam, and said, What men [are] these with Thee?
Num 22:10 And Balaam said to GOD, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, [saying],
Num 22:11 Behold, [there has] a people come out of Egypt, which covers the face of the Earth: come now, curse them for me: perhaps I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
Num 22:12 And GOD said to Balaam, Thou shall not go with them; Thou shall not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.
Num 22:13 And Balaam rose in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Depart into your land: for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with you.
Num 22:14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
Num 22:15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
Num 22:16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray Thee, hinder Thee from coming to me:
Num 22:17 for I shall promote Thee to very great honour, and I shall do whatever Thou say to me: come therefore, I pray Thee, curse this people for me.
Num 22:18 And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
Num 22:19 And now, I pray you, abide ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD shall say to me more.
Num 22:20 And GOD came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call Thee, rise [and] go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to Thee, that shall Thou perform.
Num 22:21 And Balaam rose in the morning, and saddled his she-ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
Num 22:22 And [the] anger of GOD 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 she-ass, and his two servants [were] with him.
Num 22:23 And the she-ass saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the she-ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the she-ass, to turn her into the way.
Num 22:24 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.
Num 22:25 And when the she-ass saw the Angel of the LORD, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
Num 22:26 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.
Num 22:27 And when the she-ass saw the Angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the she-ass with a staff.
Num 22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the she-ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to Thee, that Thou have smitten me these thrice?
Num 22:29 And Balaam said to the she-ass, Because Thou have mocked me: I would there were a sword in My hand, for now I would kill Thee.
Num 22:30 And the she-ass said to Balaam, [Am] not I, Thy she-ass, upon which Thou have rid ever since [I was] Thy to this day? Was I ever wont to do so to Thee? And he said, No.
Num 22:31 And 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.
Num 22:32 And the Angel of the LORD said to him, Why have Thou smitten Thy she-ass these thrice? Behold, I went out to withstand Thee, because [Thy] way is perverse before Me:
Num 22:33 and the she-ass saw me, and turned from me these thrice: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain Thee, and saved her alive.
Num 22:34 And Balaam said to the Angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that Thou stood in the way against me: now therefore, if it displeases Thee, I shall return back.
Num 22:35 And the Angel of the LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men: except only the word that I shall speak to Thee, that Thou shall speak: So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
Num 22:36 And when Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of Arnon, which [is] in the utmost limit.
Num 22:37 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to Thee to call Thee? Why came Thou not to me? [Am] I not able indeed to promote Thee to honour?
Num 22:38 And Balaam said to Balak, Behold, I have come to Thee: have I now any power at all to say anything? The word that GOD puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.
Num 22:39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjath-huzoth.
Num 22:40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that [were] with him.
Num 22:41
        And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam,
        and conducted him to the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost [part] of the people.
Num 23:1
         And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven Altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams.
Num 23:2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on [every] Altar a bull and a ram.
Num 23:3 And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by Thy burnt-offering, and I shall go: it may be the LORD shall come to meet me:
        and whatever He shows me I shall tell Thee. And he went to a high place.
Num 23:4 And GOD met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared seven Altars, and I have offered upon [every] Altar a bull and a ram.
Num 23:5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus Thou shall speak.
Num 23:6 And he returned to him and behold, he stood by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
Num 23:7
        And he took up his parable, and said,
        Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram,
        out of the mountains of the east,
        [saying], Come, curse for me Jacob,
         and come, defy Israel.
Num 23:8 How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed?
        Or how shall I defy, [whom] the LORD has not defied?
Num 23:9 For from the top of the rocks I see him,
         and from the hills I behold him:
         behold, the people shall dwell alone,
         and shall not be counted among the nations.
Num 23:10 Who can count the dust of Jacob,
          and the number of the fourth [part] of Israel?
          Let my soul die the death of the righteous,
          and let my last end be like his!
Num 23:11
          And Balak said to Balaam, What have Thou done to me?
          I took Thee to curse my enemies, and behold, Thou have blessed [them] altogether.
Num 23:12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD has put in my mouth?
Num 23:13 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray Thee, with me to another place, whence Thou may see them:
        Thou shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and from thence curse them for me.
Num 23:14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven Altars, and offered a bull and a ram on [every] Altar.
Num 23:15 And he said to Balak, Stand here by Thy burnt-offering, while I meet [him] there.
Num 23:16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and say thus.
Num 23:17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him.
          And Balak said to him, What has the LORD spoken?
Num 23:18
        And he took up his parable, and said,
        Rise, Balak, and hear;
        listen to me, Thou son of Zippor:
Num 23:19 God [is] not a man, that He should lie;
        neither a son of man, that He should repent:
        has He said, and shall He not do [it]?
        Or has He spoke, and shall He not make it good?
Num 23:20 Behold, I have received [Commandment] to bless:
        and he has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Num 23:21 He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob,
        neither has He seen perverseness in Israel;
        the LORD his God [is] with him,
        and the shout of a king [is] among them.
Num 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt;
         He has as it were the strength of a rhino.
Num 23:23 Surely, [there is] no enchantment against Jacob,
         neither [is there] any divination against Israel:
        according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and Israel,
         What has God wrought!
Num 23:24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion,
         and lift up himself as a young lion:
         he shall not lie down until he shall eat of the prey,
         and drink the blood of the slain.
Num 23:25
          And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
Num 23:26 And Balaam answered and said to Balak,
          Did I not tell Thee, saying, All that the LORD speaks, that I must do?
Num 23:27 And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray Thee, I shall bring Thee to another place;
          perhaps it shall please GOD that Thou may from thence curse them for me.
Num 23:28 And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks towards Jeshimon.
Num 23:29 And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven Altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams.
Num 23:30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on [every] Altar.
Num 24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel,
          he went not, as at other times, to meet enchantments,
          but he set his face towards the wilderness.
Num 24:2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel,
         abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes,
         and the Spirit of GOD came upon him.
Num 24:3
        And he took up his parable, and said,
        Balaam the son of Beor has said,
         and the man whose eyes are open has said:
Num 24:4 he has said, who heard the words of God,
         who saw the vision of the Almighty,
        falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
Num 24:5 how goodly are Thy tents, Jacob,
        [and] Thy Tabernacles, Israel!
Num 24:6 As the valleys are they spread forth,
         as gardens by the river's side,
         as the trees of aloes which the LORD has planted,
         as cedars beside the waters.
Num 24:7 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.
Num 24:8 God brought him forth from Egypt;
         He has as it were the strength of a rhino:
         He shall eat up the nations His enemies,
         and shall break their bones,
         and pierce [them] through with His arrows.
Num 24:9 He couched, He lay down as a lion,
         and as a great lion: who shall rouse him?
         Blessed [is] he who blesses Thee,
      and cursed [is] he who curses Thee!
Num 24:10
         And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam,
         I called Thee to curse my enemies, and behold, Thou have altogether blessed [them] these three times.
Num 24:11 Therefore now flee Thou to Thy place: I thought to promote Thee to great honour; but behold, the LORD has kept Thee back from honour.
Num 24:12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not speak also to Thy messengers whom Thou sent to me, saying,
Num 24:13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the Commandment of the LORD,
        to do [either] good or bad of My own heart; [but] what the LORD said, that shall I speak?
Num 24:14 And now, behold, I go to My people: come [therefore], I shall advertise Thee what this people shall do to Thy people in the Latter Days.
Num 24:15
        And he took up his parable, and said,
        Balaam the son of Beor has said,
        and the man whose eyes are open has said:
Num 24:16 he has said, who heard the words of God,
        and knew the knowledge of the Most High,
        [who] saw the vision of the Almighty,
        falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
Num 24:17 I shall see Him, but not now:
          I shall behold Him, but not near:
         there shall come a Star out of Jacob,
        and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
        and shall smite the corners of Moab,
        and overthrow all the sons of tumult.
Num 24:18 And Edom shall be a possession,
        Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies;
        and Israel shall do valiantly.
Num 24:19 Out of Jacob shall come He who shall have dominion,
        and shall destroy him that remains of the city.
Num 24:20
        And when he looked on Amalek,
         he took up his parable, and said,
        Amalek [was] the first of the nations,
         but his latter end [shall be] that he shall perish forever.
Num 24:21 And he looked on the Kenites,
        and took up his parable, and said,
        Strong is Thy dwelling-place,
        and Thou put Thy nest in a rock.
Num 24:22 For the Kenite shall be wasted,
         until Assyria shall carry Thee away captive.
Num 24:23
        And he took up his parable, and said,
        Woe, who shall live when God does this!
Num 24:24 And ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim,
        and shall afflict Assyria,
        and shall afflict Eber,
        and he also shall perish forever.
Num 24:25
        And Balaam arose, and went and returned to his place:

        On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: [in it] ye shall do no servile work.
Num 29:36 But ye shall offer a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD:
        one bull, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:
Num 29:37 their food-offering and their drink-offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their number, after the manner:
Num 29:38 and one goat [for] a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, and its food-offering, and its drink-offering.
Num 29:39 These [things] ye shall do to the LORD in your set Festivals, besides your vows, and your free-will-offerings, for your burnt-offerings, and for your food-offerings, and for your drink-offerings,
        and for your peace-offerings.
Num 29:40
        And Moses told the sons of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Num 30:1 And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD has commanded.
Num 30:2
         If a man shall vow a vow to 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 proceeds out of his mouth.
Num 30:3 If a woman also shall vow a vow to the LORD, and bind [herself] by a bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth;
Num 30:4 and her father shall hear her vow, and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand.
Num 30:5  But if her father shall disallow her in the day that he hears; not any of her vows or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
Num 30:6  And if she had a husband when she vowed, or uttered aught from her lips, with which she bound her soul;
Num 30:7  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 with which she bound her soul shall stand.
Num 30:8  But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard [it]; then he shall break her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, with which she bound her soul: and the LORD shall forgive her.
Num 30:9  But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, with which they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
Num 30:10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
Num 30:11 and her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her, [and] disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand.
Num 30:12 But if her husband has utterly made them void on the day he heard [them]; [then] whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand:
        her husband has made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
Num 30:13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
Num 30:14 But if her husband altogether holds his peace at her from day to day; then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirms them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard [them].
Num 30:15 But if he shall any way make them void after that he has heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.
Num 30:16 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.

Num 31:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 31:2 Avenge the sons of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shall Thou be gathered to Thy people.
Num 31:3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves for the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD on Midian.
Num 31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Num 31:5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Num 31:6 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.
Num 31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
Num 31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian,
        besides the rest of them that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian.
        Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
Num 31:9 And the sons 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.
Num 31:10 And they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
Num 31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of men and of beasts.
Num 31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the Congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by the Jordan [near] Jericho.
Num 31:13
        And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the Congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp.
Num 31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, [with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.
Num 31:15 And Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the female alive?
Num 31:16 Behold, these caused the sons 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.
Num 31:17 And now kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that has known man by lying in bed with him.
Num 31:18 But all the female children, that have not known a man by lying in bed with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Num 31:19 And do ye abide outside the camp seven days: whoever has killed any soul, and whoever has touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
Num 31:20 And purify all [your] clothing, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' [hair], and all [things] made of wood.
Num 31:21
        And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the Law which the LORD commanded Moses;
Num 31:22 only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Num 31:23 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 stays not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
Num 31:24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
Num 31:25
        And the LORD said to Moses, saying,
Num 31:26 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:
Num 31:27 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:
Num 31:28 and levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the man, and of the cattle, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
Num 31:29 take [it] of their half, and give [it] to Eleazar the priest, [for] a heave-offering of the LORD.
Num 31:30 And of the sons of Israel's half, Thou shall take one portion of fifty, of the man, of the cattle, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts,
        and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the Tabernacle of the LORD.
Num 31:31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Num 31:32 And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the people of war had taken, was six hundred thousand + seventy thousand + five thousand{675000} sheep,
Num 31:33 and seventy two thousand cattle,
Num 31:34 and sixty one thousand asses,
Num 31:35 and souls of men, of women that had not known{intercourse} a male by lying in bed: all the souls were thirty two thousand.
Num 31:36 And the half [which was] the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand + thirty seven thousand five hundred{337500} sheep.
Num 31:37 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy five.
Num 31:38 And the cattle [were] thirty six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute [was] seventy two.
Num 31:39 And the asses [were] thirty thousand five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute [was] sixty one.
Num 31:40 And the souls [were] sixteen thousand, of which the LORD's tribute [was] thirty two souls.
Num 31:41 And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD's heave-offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Num 31:42 And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
Num 31:43 now the half [that pertained to] the Congregation was three hundred thousand + thirty thousand + seven thousand five hundred{337500} sheep,
Num 31:44 and thirty six thousand cattle,
Num 31:45 and thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
Num 31:46 and sixteen thousand (soul of man).
Num 31:47 Even of the sons of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the Tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Num 31:48 And the officers who [were] over thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses:
Num 31:49 and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who [are] under our charge, and there lacks not one man of us.
Num 31:50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man has obtained of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, earrings, rings, and armlets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
Num 31:51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all wrought jewels.
Num 31:52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels;
Num 31:53 ([for] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself).
Num 31:54 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 sons of Israel before the LORD.

Num 32:1 Now the sons of Reuben and the sons 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;
Num 32:2 the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the Congregation, saying,
Num 32:3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
Num 32:4 the country which the LORD smote before the Congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and Thy servants have cattle.
Num 32:5
        Therefore, said they, if we have found grace in Thy eyes, let this land be given to Thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over the Jordan.
Num 32:6 And Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
Num 32:7 And why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
Num 32:8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Num 32:9 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
Num 32:10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
Num 32:11 Surely, none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me:
Num 32:12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
Num 32:13 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the eyes of the LORD was consumed.
Num 32:14 And behold, ye have risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD towards Israel.
Num 32:15 For if ye turn away from after him, he shall yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he shall destroy all this people.
Num 32:16
        And they came near to him, and said, We shall build sheep folds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
Num 32:17 but we ourselves shall go ready armed before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.
Num 32:18 We shall not return to our houses, until the sons of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Num 32:19 For we shall not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.
Num 32:20
        And Moses said to them, If ye shall do this thing, if ye shall go armed before the LORD to war,
Num 32:21 and shall go all of you armed over the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven out His enemies from before Him,
Num 32:22 and the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
Num 32:23 But if ye shall not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin shall find you out.
Num 32:24 Build your cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.
Num 32:25 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants shall do as my lord commands.
Num 32:26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
Num 32:27 but Thy servants shall pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord said.
Num 32:28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
Num 32:29
        And Moses said to them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben shall pass with you over the Jordan, every man armed for battle, before the LORD,
        and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
Num 32:30 but if they shall not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
Num 32:31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD has spoken to Thy servants, so shall we do.
Num 32:32 We shall pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side the Jordan [may be] ours.
Num 32:33 And Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph,
        the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with its cities in the borders, the cities of the country around.
Num 32:34 And the sons of Gad repaired Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Num 32:35 and Ataroth, Shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
Num 32:36 and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, fortified cities: and folds for sheep.
Num 32:37 And the sons of Reuben repaired Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
Num 32:38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed), and Shibmah: and named other names to the cities which they repaired.
Num 32:39 And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who [was] in it.
Num 32:40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt in it.
Num 32:41 Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havoth-Jair.
Num 32:42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Num 33:1 These [are] the journeys of the sons of Israel, who went forth from the land of Egypt with their armies by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Num 33:2 And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the Commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their journeys according to their goings out.
Num 33:3
          And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the Passover the sons of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
Num 33:4  For the Egyptians buried all [their] first-born, whom the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed Judgments.
Num 33:5  And the sons of Israel removed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth.
Num 33:6  And they departed from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which [is] in the edge of the wilderness.
Num 33:7  And they departed from Etham, and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which [is] before Baal-zephon: and they encamped before Migdol.
Num 33:8  And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the middle of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah.
Num 33:9  And they departed from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim [were] twelve wells of water, and seventy palm-trees; and they encamped there.
Num 33:10 And they departed from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea.
Num 33:11 And they departed from the Red Sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
Num 33:12 And they departed from the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
Num 33:13 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
Num 33:14 And they departed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.
Num 33:15 And they departed from Rephidim, and encamped in the wilderness of Sinai.
Num 33:16 And they departed from the desert of Sinai, and encamped at Kibroth-hattaavah.
Num 33:17 And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.
Num 33:18 And they departed from Hazeroth, and encamped in Rithmah.
Num 33:19 And they departed from Rithmah, and encamped at Rimmon-parez.
Num 33:20 And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and encamped in Libnah.
Num 33:21 And they departed from Libnah, and encamped at Rissah.
Num 33:22 And they departed from Rissah, and encamped in Kehelathah.
Num 33:23 And they departed from Kehelathah, and encamped in Mount Shapher.
Num 33:24 And they departed from Mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
Num 33:25 And they departed from Haradah, and encamped in Makheloth.
Num 33:26 And they departed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
Num 33:27 And they departed from Tahath, and encamped at Tarah.
Num 33:28 And they departed from Tarah, and encamped in Mithcah.
Num 33:29 And they departed from Mithcah, and encamped in Hashmonah.
Num 33:30 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
Num 33:31 And they departed from Moseroth, and encamped in Bene-jaakan.
Num 33:32 And they departed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.
Num 33:33 And they departed from Hor-hagidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah.
Num 33:34 And they departed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
Num 33:35 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-geber.
Num 33:36 And they departed from Ezion-geber, and encamped in the wilderness of Zin, which [is] Kadesh.
Num 33:37 And they departed from Kadesh, and encamped in Mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
Num 33:38
        And Aaron the priest ascended Mount Hor at the Commandment of the LORD, and died there,
        in the fortieth year after the sons of Israel going out from the land of Egypt, in the first [day] of the fifth month.
Num 33:39 And Aaron [was] a hundred twenty three years old when he died in Mount Hor.
Num 33:40
        And king Arad the Canaanite who dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the sons of Israel.
Num 33:41 And they departed from Mount Hor, and encamped in Zalmonah.
Num 33:42 And they departed from Zalmonah, and encamped in Punon.
Num 33:43 And they departed from Punon, and encamped in Oboth.
Num 33:44 And they departed from Oboth, and encamped in Ije-Abarim, in the border of Moab.
Num 33:45 And they departed from Iim, and encamped in Dibon-gad.
Num 33:46 And they departed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.
Num 33:47 And they departed from Almon-diblathaim, and encamped on the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
Num 33:48 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and encamped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [near] Jericho.
Num 33:49 And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

Num 33:50 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
Num 33:51 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
          When ye have passed over the Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Num 33:52 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 demolish all their high places:
Num 33:53 and ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants of] the land, and dwell in it; for I have given you the land to possess it;
Num 33:54 and ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families:
        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 falls; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
Num 33:55 But if ye shall not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you;
        then it shall be, that those which ye let remain of them [shall be] prickles in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall harass you in the land in which ye dwell.
Num 33:56 And it shall be, [that] I shall do to you as I thought to do to them.
Num 34:1
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 34:2 Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders).
Num 34:3 Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the Salt Sea eastward:
Num 34:4 and your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: its limit shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon:
Num 34:5 and the border shall form a circuit from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the limits of it shall be at the sea.
Num 34:6 And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the Great Sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
Num 34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea ye shall designate for you Mount Hor:
Num 34:8 from Mount Hor ye shall designate [your border] to the entrance of Hamath; and the limits of the border shall be at Zedad:
Num 34:9 and the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the limits of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
Num 34:10 And ye shall designate your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
Num 34:11 and the limit shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
Num 34:12 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the limits of it shall be at the Salt Sea: This shall be your land with its limits on all sides.
Num 34:13 And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
Num 34:14 for the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to the house of their fathers,
        have received [their inheritance]; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
Num 34:15 the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, towards the sun-rising.
Num 34:16
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 34:17 These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Num 34:18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
Num 34:19 And the names of the men [are] these: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
Num 34:20 And of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
Num 34:21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
Num 34:22 And the prince of the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
Num 34:23 The prince of the sons of Joseph, for the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
Num 34:24 And the prince of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
Num 34:25 And the prince of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
Num 34:26 And the prince of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
Num 34:27 And the prince of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
Num 34:28 And the prince of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
Num 34:29 These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Num 35:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
Num 35:2 Command the sons of Israel, that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give [also] to the Levites suburbs for the cities around them.
Num 35:3 And they shall have the cities to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their animals.
Num 35:4 And the suburbs of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, [shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits on all sides.
Num 35:5 And ye shall measure from outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits,
        and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits,
        and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city [shall be] in the middle: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
Num 35:6 And among the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge,
        which ye shall appoint for the man-slayer, that he may flee there: and to them ye shall add forty two cities.
Num 35:7 [So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [shall be] forty eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs.
Num 35:8 And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the possession of the sons of Israel: from [them that have] many ye shall give many;
        but from [them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inherits.
Num 35:9
        And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Num 35:10 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them,
          When ye have passed over the Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Num 35:11 then ye shall appoint for you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee there, who kills any soul at unawares.
Num 35:12 And the cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger; that the man-slayer may not die, until he stands before the Congregation in judgment.
Num 35:13 And of these cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge.
Num 35:14 Ye shall give three cities on this side of the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of refuge.
Num 35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge, [both] for the sons of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that kills any soul unawares may flee there.
Num 35:16 And if he shall smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer dying, he shall die.
Num 35:17 And if he shall smite him by throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer dying, he shall die.
Num 35:18 Or [if] he shall smite him with a hand-weapon of wood, with which he may die, and he shall die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer dying, he shall die.
Num 35:19 The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meets him, he shall slay him.
Num 35:20 But if he shall thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by lying in wait, that he dies.
Num 35:21 Or in enmity shall smite him with his hand, that he dies: he who smote him dying, he shall die; [for he is] a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meets him.
Num 35:22 But if he shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without lying in wait,
Num 35:23 or with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing him not, and shall cast [it] upon him, that he dies, and [was] not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
Num 35:24 then the Congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these Judgments:
Num 35:25 and the Congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the Congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge,
        where he had fled: and he shall abide in it to the death of the High Priest, who was anointed with the Holy oil;
Num 35:26 but if the slayer shall at any time come outside the borders of the city of his refuge, where he had fled;
Num 35:27 and the avenger of blood find him outside the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood shall kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
Num 35:28 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.
Num 35:29 So these [things] shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Num 35:30
          Whoever murders any soul, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any soul [to cause him] to die.
Num 35:31 And ye shall take no ransom for the soul of a murderer, who [is] guilty of death: but he dying, he shall die.
Num 35:32 And ye shall take no ransom for him that has fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Num 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land in which ye [are]: for blood it defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Num 35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, in which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the sons of Israel.

Num 36:1 And the chief fathers of the families of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph,
        came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the sons of Israel:
Num 36:2 and they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
Num 36:3 And if they shall be wives to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the sons of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received:
        so it shall be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
Num 36:4 And when the Jubilee of the sons of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put to the inheritance of the tribe into which they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
Num 36:5 And Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph has said well.
Num 36:6 This [is] the thing which the LORD does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be wives to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they be wives.
Num 36:7 So shall not the inheritance of the sons of Israel move from tribe to tribe: for every one of the sons of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Num 36:8 And every daughter, that possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the sons of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the sons of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers;
Num 36:9 neither shall the inheritance move from [one] tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the sons of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
Num 36:10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
Num 36:11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were wives of their father's brothers' sons:
Num 36:12 [and] they were wives 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.
Num 36:13 These [are] the Commandments and the Judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [near] Jericho.

Deu 1:1 [Scroll 05 Deuteronomy].
        These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on the east side of the Jordan in the wilderness,
        in the plain opposed to Suf, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab;
Deu 1:2 ([there are] eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea).
Deu 1:3
        And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] Moses spoke to the sons of Israel,
        according to all that the LORD had given him in Commandment to them;
Deu 1:4 after he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
Deu 1:5 on the east side of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this Law, saying,
Deu 1:6 The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
Deu 1:7 turn ye, and take your journey, and go to the Mount of the Amorites, and to all [the places] near to it, in the plain, on the hills, and in the valley, and in the south, and by the sea-side,
        to the land of the Canaanites, and to Lebanon, to the great river, the river Euphrates.
Deu 1:8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
Deu 1:9 And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I [am] not able to bear you myself alone.
Deu 1:10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, and behold, ye [are] this day as the stars of Heaven for multitude.
Deu 1:11 May the LORD, God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye [are], and bless you, as He has promised you!

Deu 1:12 How can I alone bear your encumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Deu 1:13 Take ye wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I shall make them chiefs over you.
Deu 1:14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which Thou have spoken [is] good [for us] to do.
Deu 1:15 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.
Deu 1:16 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.
Deu 1:17 Ye shall not respect of persons{favouritism} 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 of GOD: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring to Me, and I shall hear it.
Deu 1:18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.

Deu 1:19 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.
Deu 1:20 And I said to you, Ye have come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God does give to us.
Deu 1:21 Behold, the LORD Thy God has set the land before Thee: go up [and] possess [it], as the LORD, God of Thy fathers has spoken to Thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
Deu 1:22 And ye came near to me every one of you, and said, We shall send men before us, and they shall explore the land for us, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
Deu 1:23
        And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
Deu 1:24 and they turned and ascended the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and explored it;
Deu 1:25 and they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought [it] down to us, and brought us word again, and said, [It is] a good land which the LORD our God does give us.
Deu 1:26 And ye would not go up, but rebelled against the Commandment of the LORD your God:
Deu 1:27 and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, He has brought us forth from the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Deu 1:28 Where shall we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people [are] greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and walled up to Heaven; and moreover, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
Deu 1:29 And I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
Deu 1:30 The LORD your God who goes before you; He shall fight for you, according to all that He did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Deu 1:31 and in the wilderness, where Thou have seen how the LORD Thy God bore Thee, as a man bears his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
Deu 1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
Deu 1:33 who went in the way before you, to search out for you a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
Deu 1:34
        And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying,
Deu 1:35 Surely, there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
Deu 1:36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him I shall give the land that he has trod upon, and to his sons, because he has wholly followed the LORD.
Deu 1:37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shall not go in there.
Deu 1:38 Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before Thee, he shall go in there. Encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Deu 1:39 And your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your sons,
        which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in there, and to them I shall give it, and they shall possess it.
Deu 1:40 But [as for] you, turn ye, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
Deu 1:41 Then ye answered and said to me, We have sinned against the LORD, we shall 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 ascend the mountain.
Deu 1:42 And the LORD said to me, Say to them, Go not up, neither fight; for I [AM] not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
Deu 1:43 So I spoke to you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the Commandment of the LORD, and presumptuously ascended the mountain.
Deu 1:44 And the Amorites, who dwelt on that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, to Hormah.
Deu 1:45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not listen to your voice, nor give ear to you.

Deu 1:46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according to the days that ye abode [there]. [Num 13:25]
Deu 2:1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea, as the LORD has spoken to me: and we went around Mount Seir many days.
Deu 2:2
        And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
Deu 2:3 Ye have gone around this mountain long enough: turn ye northward.
Deu 2:4 And command Thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass through the border of your brethren the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: therefore take ye good heed to yourselves:
Deu 2:5 meddle not with them; for I shall not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot-breadth; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau [for] a possession.
Deu 2:6 Ye shall buy food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
Deu 2:7 For the LORD Thy God has blessed Thee in all the works of Thy hand: He knows Thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD Thy God has [been] with Thee: Thou have lacked nothing.
Deu 2:8
        And we passed by from our brethren the sons of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-geber.
        And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Deu 2:9 And the LORD said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I shall not give Thee of their land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot [for] a possession;
Deu 2:10 (the Emim dwelt in it in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakim;
Deu 2:11 who also were accounted giants, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
Deu 2:12 The Horim also dwelt formerly in Seir, but the sons of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them).
Deu 2:13 Now rise, [I said], and pass over the brook Zered: and we went over the brook Zered.
Deu 2:14 And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we passed the brook Zered, [was] thirty eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted from among the camp, as the LORD swore to them.
Deu 2:15 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the camp, until they were consumed.
Deu 2:16 And it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people.
Deu 2:17
        And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
Deu 2:18 Thou are to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
Deu 2:19 and [when] Thou come near opposed to the sons of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them:
        for I shall not give Thee of the land of the sons of Ammon [any] possession;
        because I have given it to the sons of Lot [for] a possession;
Deu 2:20 (that also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt in it in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim;
Deu 2:21 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:
Deu 2:22 as He did to the sons of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead until this day:
Deu 2:23 and the Avim who dwelt in Hazerim to Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth from Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead).
Deu 2:24 Arise ye, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into Thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess [it], and contend with him in battle.
Deu 2:25 This day shall 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.
Deu 2:26 And I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Deu 2:27 Let me pass through Thy land: I shall go along by the highway, I shall neither turn to the right hand or to the left.
Deu 2:28 Thou shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I shall pass through on My feet;
Deu 2:29 (as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me); until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.
Deu 2:30 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 [appears] this day.
Deu 2:31
        And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before Thee: begin to possess, that Thou may inherit his land.
Deu 2:32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
Deu 2:33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
Deu 2:34 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.
Deu 2:35 Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
Deu 2:36 From Aroer, which [is] by the brink of the river of Arnon, and [from] the city that [is] by the river, even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all to us:
Deu 2:37 only to the land of the sons of Ammon Thou came not, [nor] to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities on the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbad us.
Deu 3:1 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.
Deu 3:2
        And the LORD said to me, Fear him not: for I shall deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into Thy hand; and Thou shall do to him as Thou did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
Deu 3:3 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.
Deu 3:4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deu 3:5 All these cities [were] fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides unwalled towns a great number.
Deu 3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and sons of every city.
Deu 3:7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
Deu 3:8 And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that [was] on this side of the Jordan, from the river of Arnon to Mount Hermon;
Deu 3:9 ([which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir).
Deu 3:10 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deu 3:11
        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 sons of Ammon?
        Nine cubits [was] the length of it, four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
Deu 3:12 And this land, [which] we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, and half Mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
Deu 3:13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, [being] the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
Deu 3:14 Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob, to the borders of Geshuri, and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan-Havoth-Jair, to this day.
Deu 3:15 And I gave Gilead to Machir.
Deu 3:16 And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even to the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the sons of Ammon:
Deu 3:17 and the plain, and the Jordan, and the coast [of it], from Chinnereth even to the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.

Deu 3:18 And I commanded you at that time, saying,
        The LORD your God has given you this land to possess it; ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the sons of Israel, all [that are] meet for the war.
Deu 3:19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ([for] I know that ye have many cattle), shall abide in your cities which I have given you;
Deu 3:20 until the LORD shall have given rest to your brethren, as well as to you, and [until] they also possess the land which the LORD your God has given them beyond the Jordan:
        and [then] shall ye return every man to his possession which I have given you.
Deu 3:21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thy eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings: so shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms where Thou pass.
Deu 3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God He shall fight for you.

Deu 3:23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
Deu 3:24 Lord JeHoVaH, Thou have 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?
Deu 3:25 I pray Thee, let me go over, and see the good land that [is] beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
Deu 3:26 But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said to me, Let it suffice Thee; speak no more to me of this matter.
Deu 3:27 Ascend to the top of Pisgah, and lift up Thy eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with Thy eyes: for Thou shall not go over this the Jordan.
Deu 3:28 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 shall see.
Deu 3:29 So we abode in the valley opposed to Beth-Peor.

Deu 4:1 And now hear, Israel, to the Statutes and to the Judgments, which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD, God of your fathers gives you.
Deu 4:2 Ye shall not add to 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.
Deu 4:3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD Thy God has destroyed them from among you.
Deu 4:4 But ye who adhered to the LORD your God, [are] alive every one of you this day.
Deu 4:5
        Behold, I have taught you Statutes, and Judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land where ye go to possess it.
Deu 4:6 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.
Deu 4:7 For what nation [is there so] great, which has GOD [so] near to them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon him [for]?
Deu 4:8 And what nation [is there so] great, that has Statutes and Judgments [so] righteous as all this Law, which I set before you this day?
Deu 4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep Thy soul diligently, lest Thou should forget the things which Thy eyes have seen,
        and lest they depart from Thy heart all the days of Thy life: but teach them to Thy sons, and Thy grandsons:
Deu 4:10 [specially] the day that Thou stood before the LORD Thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Assemble the people to Me,
        and I shall 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 sons.
Deu 4:11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of Heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
Deu 4:12 And the LORD spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a voice.
Deu 4:13 And He declared to you His Covenant, which He commanded you to perform, Ten Commandments; and He wrote them upon two tablets of stone.
Deu 4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you Statutes and Judgments, that ye might do them in the land where ye go over to possess it.

Deu 4:15 Take therefore heed to your souls; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire;
Deu 4:16 lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make to you a graven image, the similitude of any figure,
         the likeness of male or female,
Deu 4:17 the likeness of any beast that [is] on the Earth,
         the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air,
Deu 4:18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground,
         the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the Earth.
Deu 4:19 And lest Thou should lift up Thy eyes to Heaven, and when Thou see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the Army of Heaven,
        should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD Thy God has divided to all nations under the whole Heaven.
Deu 4:20 But the LORD has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as [ye are] this day.
Deu 4:21 And the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan,
        and that I should not enter that good land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee [for] an inheritance:
Deu 4:22 but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
Deu 4:23
        Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the Covenant of the LORD your God, which He made with you,
        and make you a graven image, [or] the likeness of anything which the LORD Thy God has forbidden Thee.
Deu 4:24 For the LORD Thy God [is] a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Deu 4:25 When Thou shall beget sons, and sons' sons, and ye shall have remained long in the land,
        and shall corrupt [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of anything,
        and shall do evil in the eyes of the LORD Thy God, to provoke Him to anger:
Deu 4:26 I call the Heaven and the Earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from the land to which ye go over the Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed.
Deu 4:27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the peoples, where the LORD shall lead you.
Deu 4:28 And there ye shall serve GODS, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Deu 4:29 But if from thence Thou shall seek the LORD Thy God, Thou shall find him, if Thou shall seek Him with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul.
Deu 4:30 When Thou are in tribulation, and all these things have come upon Thee, in the Latter Days, if Thou shall turn to the LORD Thy God, and shall be obedient to His voice;
Deu 4:31 (for the LORD Thy God [is] a merciful God); He shall not forsake Thee, neither destroy Thee, nor forget the Covenant of Thy fathers, which He swore to them.

Deu 4:32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before Thee, since the day that GOD created man upon the Earth,
        and [ask] from the one side of Heaven to the other, whether there has been [any such thing] as this great thing [is], or has been heard like it?
Deu 4:33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of GOD speaking from the middle of the fire, as Thou have heard, and live?
Deu 4:34 Or has GOD essayed to go [and] take him a nation from the middle of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an out-stretched arm,
        and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Deu 4:35 To Thee it has been shown, that Thou might know that the LORD He [is] GOD; [there is] none besides Him.
Deu 4:36 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 heard His words from the middle of the fire.
Deu 4:37 And because He loved Thy fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them, and brought Thee out of Egypt in His sight with His mighty power.
Deu 4:38 To drive out nations from before Thee, greater and mightier than Thou [are], to bring Thee in, to give Thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day.
Deu 4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in Thy heart, that the LORD He [is] GOD in Heaven above, and upon the Earth beneath: [there is] none else.
Deu 4:40 Thou shall keep therefore His Statutes and His Commandments which I command Thee this day,
        that it may be well with Thee, and with Thy sons after Thee, and that Thou may prolong [Thy] days upon the Earth, which the LORD Thy God gives Thee, forever.

Deu 4:41 Then Moses set apart three cities on the side of the Jordan, towards the sun-rising;
Deu 4:42 that the slayer might flee there, who should kill his neighbour unawares, and when he had not hated him in times past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
Deu 4:43 [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.

Deu 4:44 And this [is] the Law which Moses set before the sons of Israel.
Deu 4:45 These [are] the Testimonies, and the Statutes, and the Judgments, which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, after they came forth from Egypt,
Deu 4:46 on the east side of the Jordan, in the valley opposed to Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites,
        who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel smote, after they had come forth from Egypt:
Deu 4:47 and they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites,
        who [were] on the side of the Jordan, towards the sun-rising;
Deu 4:48 from Aroer, which [is] by the bank of the river Arnon, even to Mount Sion, which [is] Hermon,
Deu 4:49 and all the plain on the side of the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.

Deu 5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the Statutes and Judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
Deu 5:2 The LORD our God made a Covenant with us in Horeb.
Deu 5:3 The LORD made not this Covenant with our fathers, but with us: we who [are] all of us here alive this day.
Deu 5:4 The LORD talked with you face to face on the Mount, from the middle of the fire,
Deu 5:5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD:
        for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up upon the Mount); saying,
        {Ten Commandments 2}.
Deu 5:6  I [AM] the LORD Thy God, who brought Thee out of the land of Egypt, from the House of Bondage,
Deu 5:7 Thou shall have no other GODS before Me!
Deu 5:8
        Thou shall not make to Thee a graven image, or any likeness [of anything] that [is] in Heaven above,
        or that [is] in the Earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the Earth:
Deu 5:9 Thou shall 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 sons to the third and the fourth [generation] of them that hate Me;
Deu 5:10 and showing mercy to thousands of them that loving Me, and keep My Commandments!
Deu 5:11
        Thou shall not take the name of the LORD Thy God in vain:
        for the LORD shall not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain!
Deu 5:12
         Keep the Sabbath day Holy, as the LORD Thy God has commanded Thee;
Deu 5:13  six days Thou shall labour, and do all Thy work:
Deu 5:14  but the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to the LORD Thy God: [in it] Thou shall not do any work,
          Thou, nor Thy son, nor Thy daughter, nor Thy man-servant, nor Thy maid-servant, nor Thy ox, nor Thy ass, nor any of Thy cattle, nor Thy stranger that [is] within Thy gates;
          that Thy man-servant and Thy maid-servant may rest as well as Thou;
Deu 5:15  and remember that Thou were a bondman in the land of Egypt,
          and [that] the LORD Thy God brought Thee out thence with a mighty hand and by an out-stretched arm:
          therefore the LORD Thy God commanded Thee to keep the Sabbath day!
Deu 5:16
         Honour Thy father and Thy mother, as the LORD Thy God has commanded Thee;
          that Thy days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with Thee, in the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee!
Deu 5:17
         Thou shall not murder!
Deu 5:18
         And Thou shall not commit adultery!
Deu 5:19
         And Thou shall not steal!
Deu 5:20
         And Thou shall not bear false witness against Thy neighbour!
Deu 5:21
         And Thou shall not covet:
         Thy neighbour's wife, neither shall Thou covet Thy neighbour's house, his field, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that [is] Thy neighbour's!

Deu 5:22 These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly on the Mount from the middle 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 tablets of stone, and delivered them to me.
Deu 5:23
        And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice from the middle of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire), that ye came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Deu 5:24 and ye said, Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His Greatness, and we have heard His voice from the middle of the fire: we have seen this day that GOD does talk with man, and he lives.
Deu 5:25 And now why should we die? For this great fire shall consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
Deu 5:26 For who [is there of] all flesh that has heard the voice of the Living GOD speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we [have], and lived?
Deu 5:27 Go Thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say; and speak Thou to us all that the LORD our God shall speak to Thee; and we shall hear [it], and do [it].
Deu 5:28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to Thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
Deu 5:29 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 sons forever!
Deu 5:30
        Go, say to them, Return to your tents.
Deu 5:31 But as for Thee, stand Thou here by Me, and I shall speak to Thee all the Commandments,
        and the Statutes, and the Judgments, which Thou shall teach them, that they may do [them] in the land which I give them to possess it.

Deu 5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Deu 5:33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that ye may live, and [that it may be] well with you, and [that] ye may prolong [your] days in the land which ye shall possess.
Deu 6:1 And these [are] the Commandments, the Statutes, and the Judgments which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do [them] in the land where ye go to possess it:
Deu 6:2 that Thou may fear the LORD Thy God, to keep all His Statutes and His Commandments which I command Thee, Thou, and Thy son, and Thy grandson, all the days of Thy life: and that Thy days may be prolonged.
Deu 6:3 And Thou shall hear, 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 has spoken to Thee, in the land that flowing with milk and honey.
Deu 6:4 {Mezuzah 1}.
        Hear, Israel, the LORD our God [is] One LORD. [Mar 12:29]
Deu 6:5 And Thou shall love the LORD Thy God with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul, and with all Thy strength. [Luk 10:27 Mar 12:30 Mat 22:37]
Deu 6:6 And these words which I command Thee this day, shall be in Thy heart:
Deu 6:7 And Thou shall teach them diligently to Thy sons, and shall talk of them when Thou sit in Thy house, and when Thou walk by the way, and when Thou lies down, and when Thou rise up.
Deu 6:8 And Thou shall bind them for a sign upon Thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between Thy eyes.
Deu 6:9 And Thou shall write them upon the posts of Thy house, and on Thy gates.
Deu 6:10
        And it shall be, when the LORD Thy God shall have brought Thee into the land which He swore to Thy fathers,
        to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give Thee great and goodly cities, which Thou did not build,
Deu 6:11 and houses full of all good [things], which Thou did not fill,
        and wells dig, which Thou did not dig,
        vineyards and olive-trees, which Thou did not plant;
        when Thou shall have eaten and be full;
Deu 6:12 [then] beware lest Thou should forget the LORD,
        who brought Thee forth from the land of Egypt, from the House of Bondage.
Deu 6:13 Thou shall worship the LORD Thy God, and Him only shall Thou serve. [Mat 4:10]
        and shall swear by His name.
Deu 6:14 Ye shall not go after other GODS, of the gods of the peoples which [are] around you;
Deu 6:15 (for the LORD Thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD Thy God should be kindled against Thee,
        and destroy Thee from off the face of the Earth.
Deu 6:16 Thou shall not tempt the LORD Thy God. [Mat 4:7]
        As ye tempted [Him] in Massah.
Deu 6:17 Ye shall diligently keep the Commandments of the LORD your God,
        and His Testimonies, and His Statutes, which He has commanded Thee.
Deu 6:18 And Thou shall do [that which is] right and good in the eyes of the LORD: that it may be well with Thee,
        and that Thou may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to Thy fathers,
Deu 6:19 to cast out all Thy enemies from before Thee, as the LORD has spoken.

Deu 6:20 When Thy son shall ask Thee in time to come, saying, What [mean] the Testimonies, and the Statutes, and the Judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?
Deu 6:21 Then Thou shall say to Thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt: and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Deu 6:22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and distressing, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
Deu 6:23 And he brought us out from thence, that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore to our fathers.
Deu 6:24 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.
Deu 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these Commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us.

Deu 7:1 When the LORD Thy God shall bring Thee into the land where Thou go to possess it, and has cast out many nations before Thee,
        the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perrizites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than Thou;
Deu 7:2 and when the LORD Thy God shall deliver them before Thee, Thou shall smite them [and] utterly destroy them, Thou shall make no Covenant with them, nor show mercy to them:
Deu 7:3 neither shall Thou make a marriage with them; Thy daughter Thou shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall Thou take to Thy son.
Deu 7:4 For they shall turn away Thy son from following Me, that they may serve other GODS: so shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy Thee suddenly.
Deu 7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their Altars, and break down their pillars, and cut down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.

Deu 7:6 For Thou [are] a Holy people{Saints} to the LORD Thy God: the LORD Thy God has chosen Thee to be a peculiar people to Himself, above all the peoples that [are] upon the face of the Earth.
Deu 7:7 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 the peoples:
Deu 7:8 but because the LORD loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn to your fathers, has the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand,
        and redeemed you from the House of Bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Deu 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD Thy God, He [is] GOD, the faithful God, who keeps Covenant and mercy with them that loving Him and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations:
Deu 7:10 and repays them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: He shall not be slack to him that hates him, He shall repay him to his face.
Deu 7:11 Thou shall therefore keep the Commandments, and the Statutes, and the Judgments, which I command Thee this day, to do them.
Deu 7:12
        Therefore it shall be, if ye listen to these Judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD Thy God shall keep to Thee the Covenant and the mercy which He swore to Thy fathers:
Deu 7:13 And He shall love Thee, and bless Thee, and multiply Thee: He shall also bless the fruit of Thy womb, and the fruit of Thy land, Thy grain, and Thy new wine, and Thy oil, the increase of Thy cows, and the flocks of Thy sheep,
        in the land which He swore to Thy fathers to give Thee.
Deu 7:14 Thou shall be blessed above all the peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Deu 7:15 And the LORD shall take away from Thee all sickness, and shall put none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which Thou know) upon Thee; but shall lay them upon all [them] that hate Thee.

Deu 7:16 And Thou shall consume all the people which the LORD Thy God shall give to Thee;
        Thy eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shall Thou serve their gods; for that [shall be] a snare to Thee.
Deu 7:17 If Thou shall say in Thy heart, These nations [are] more than I, how can I dispossess them?
Deu 7:18 Thou shall not be afraid of them: [but] shall well remember what the LORD Thy God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
Deu 7:19 the great temptations which Thy eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the out-stretched arm,
        by which the LORD Thy God brought Thee out: so shall the LORD Thy God do to all the people of whom Thou are afraid.
Deu 7:20 And also, the LORD Thy God shall send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from Thee, shall be destroyed.
Deu 7:21 Thou shall not be affrighted at them: for the LORD Thy God [is] among you, a Mighty God and awesome.
Deu 7:22 And the LORD Thy God shall drive out those nations before Thee by little and little: Thou may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase upon Thee.
Deu 7:23 But the LORD Thy God shall deliver them to Thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they are destroyed.
Deu 7:24 And He shall deliver their kings into Thy hand, and Thou shall destroy their name from under Heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before Thee, until Thou shall have destroyed them.
Deu 7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: Thou shall not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] to Thee, lest Thou should be snared in it: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD Thy God;
Deu 7:26 neither shall Thou bring an abomination into Thy house, lest Thou should be a cursed thing like it: [but] Thou shall utterly detest it, and Thou shall utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.

Deu 8:1 All the Commandments which I command Thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.
Deu 8:2 And Thou shall remember all the way which the LORD Thy God has led Thee these forty years in the wilderness,
        to humble Thee, [and] to prove Thee, to know what [was] in Thy heart,
        whether Thou would keep His Commandments, or not.
Deu 8:3 And He humbled Thee, and allowed Thee to hunger, and fed Thee with manna,
        which Thou knew not, neither did Thy fathers know;
        that He might make Thee know,
        that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every [saying] going forth through the mouth of the LORD (does man live). [Mat 4:4]
Deu 8:4 Thy clothing has not become old upon Thee, neither has Thy foot swelled these forty years.
Deu 8:5 And Thou shall consider in Thy heart, that as a man chastens his son, [so] the LORD Thy God chastens Thee.
Deu 8:6 Therefore Thou shall keep the Commandments of the LORD Thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.
Deu 8:7
        For the LORD Thy God brings Thee into a good land,
        a land of brooks of water, of fountains, and abysses that spring out of valleys and mountains;
Deu 8:8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates, a land of olive-oil, and honey;
Deu 8:9 a land in which Thou shall eat bread without scarceness,
        Thou shall not lack anything in it, a land whose stones [are] iron,
        and out of whose hills Thou may dig copper.
Deu 8:10 When Thou have eaten and are full, then Thou shall bless the LORD Thy God for the good land which He has given Thee.

Deu 8:11 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;
Deu 8:12 lest [when] Thou have eaten, and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt [in them].
Deu 8:13 And [when] Thy herds and Thy flocks multiply, and Thy silver and Thy gold are increased, and all that Thou have is increased.
Deu 8:14 Then Thy heart shall be lifted up, and Thou shall forget the LORD Thy God (who brought Thee out of the land of Egypt, from the House of Bondage).
Deu 8:15 Who led Thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [in which were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought Thee forth water out of the rock of flint.
Deu 8:16 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.
Deu 8:17 And Thou shall say in Thy heart, my power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.
Deu 8:18 But Thou shall remember the LORD Thy God: for [it is] He who gives Thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His Covenant which He swore to Thy fathers, as [it is] this day.
Deu 8:19
        And it shall be, if Thou shall 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.
Deu 8:20 As the nations which the LORD destroys before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.

Deu 9:1 Hear, Israel: Thou [are] to pass over the Jordan this day,
        to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to Heaven,
Deu 9:2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom Thou know,
        and [of whom] Thou have heard [it said], Who can stand before the sons of Anak!
Deu 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD Thy God [is] He who goes over before Thee;
        [as] a consuming fire He shall destroy them, and He shall bring them down before Thy face:
        so shall Thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD has spoken to Thee.
Deu 9:4 Speak not Thou in Thy heart, after that the LORD Thy God has cast them out from before Thee,
        saying, For My righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land:
        but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before Thee.
Deu 9:5 Not for Thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of Thy heart do Thou go to possess their land:
        but for the wickedness of these nations, the LORD Thy God does drive them out from before Thee,
        and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore to Thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Deu 9:6 Understand therefore, that the LORD Thy God gives Thee not this good land to possess it for Thy righteousness; for Thou [are] a stiff-necked people.

Deu 9:7 Remember, [and] forget not, how Thou provoked the LORD Thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that Thou did depart from the land of Egypt,
        until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
Deu 9:8 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
Deu 9:9 When I ascended the Mount, to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the Covenant which the LORD made with you,
        then I abode in the Mount forty days and forty nights, I neither ate bread, nor drank water.
Deu 9:10 And the LORD delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of GOD;
        and on them [was written] according to all the words which the LORD has spoken with you in the Mount,
        from the middle of the fire, in the day of the assembly.

Deu 9:11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, [that] the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the Covenant.
Deu 9:12 And the LORD said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence; for Thy people which Thou have brought forth out of Egypt,
        have corrupted [themselves]; they are quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
Deu 9:13 And the LORD said to me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it [is] a stiff-necked people:
Deu 9:14 let Me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under Heaven: and I shall make of Thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
Deu 9:15 And I turned and came down from the Mount, and the Mount burned with fire: and the two tablets of the Covenant [were] in my two hands.
Deu 9:16 And I looked, and behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, [and] had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
Deu 9:17 And I took the two tablets, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Deu 9:18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I neither ate bread, nor drank water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing evil in the eyes of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger;
Deu 9:19 (for I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you). But the LORD listened to me at that time also.
Deu 9:20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
Deu 9:21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, [and] ground [it] very small, until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended from the Mount.
Deu 9:22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
Deu 9:23 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 listened to His voice.
Deu 9:24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
Deu 9:25 And 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.
Deu 9:26 I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, Lord JeHoVaH, destroy not Thy people and Thy inheritance, which Thou have redeemed through Thy greatness, which Thou have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Deu 9:27 Remember Thy servants, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
Deu 9:28 lest the land whence Thou have brought us should say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which He promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
Deu 9:29 Yet they [are] Thy people and Thy inheritance which Thou have brought out by Thy mighty power and by Thy out-stretched arm.
Deu 10:1
        At that time the LORD said to me, Hew Thee two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me upon the Mount, and make Thee an Ark of wood.
Deu 10:2 And I shall write upon the tablets the words that were in the first tablets which Thou did break, and Thou shall put them in the Ark.
Deu 10:3 And I made an Ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and ascended the Mount, having the two tablets in my hand.
Deu 10:4 And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which the LORD has spoken to you in the Mount, from the middle of the fire, in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them to me.
Deu 10:5 And I turned myself and came down from the Mount, and put the tablets in the Ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.
Deu 10:6 And the sons of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the sons of Jakan to Mosira: there Aaron died, and there he was buried;
        and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
Deu 10:7
        From thence they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
Deu 10:8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to Him, and to bless in His name, to this day.
Deu 10:9 Therefore Levi has no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD Thy God has spoken to him.
Deu 10:10 And I stayed in the Mount, according to the first-time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD listened to me at that time also, [and] the LORD would not destroy Thee.

Deu 10:11 And the LORD said to me, Arise, take [Thy] journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
Deu 10:12 And now, Israel, what does the LORD Thy God require of Thee, but to fear the LORD Thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him,
        and to serve the LORD Thy God with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul, [Deu 6:5]
Deu 10:13 to keep the Commandments of the LORD, and His Statutes, which I command Thee this day for Thy good?
Deu 10:14 Behold, the Heaven and the Heavens of Heavens belongs to the LORD Thy God, the Earth [also], with all that it contains.
Deu 10:15 Only the LORD had a delight in Thy fathers to love them, and He chose their seed after them, you above all the peoples, as [it is] this day.
Deu 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
Deu 10:17 For the LORD your God [is the] God of gods, and Lord of lords, the Great God, the Mighty, and the awesome, who regards not persons, nor takes reward:
Deu 10:18 he executes the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loves the stranger, in giving him food and clothing.
Deu 10:19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Deu 10:20 Thou shall fear the LORD Thy God; Him shall Thou serve, and to Him shall Thou cleave, and swear by His name.
Deu 10:21 He [is] Thy praise, and He [is] Thy God, that has done for Thee these great and awesome things which Thy eyes have seen.
Deu 10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with seventy souls; and now the LORD Thy God has made Thee as the stars of Heaven for multitude.
Deu 11:1
        Therefore Thou shall love the LORD Thy God, and keep His charge, and His Statutes, and His Judgments, and His Commandments, always.
Deu 11:2 And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, His greatness, His mighty hand, and His out-stretched arm,
Deu 11:3 and His miracles, and His acts, which He did in the middle of Egypt, to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
Deu 11:4 and what He did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how He made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and [how] the LORD has destroyed them to this day;
Deu 11:5 and what He did to you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;
Deu 11:6 and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the Earth opened her mouth,
        and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that [was] in their feet, in the middle of all Israel:
Deu 11:7 but your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which He did.
Deu 11:8 Therefore shall ye keep all the Commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where ye go to possess it;
Deu 11:9 and that ye may prolong [your] days in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed, a land that flowing with milk and honey.
Deu 11:10
        For the land, where Thou go in to possess it, [is] not as the land of Egypt, whence ye came out, where Thou did sow Thy seed, and water [it] with Thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
Deu 11:11 and the land, where ye go to possess it, [is] a land of mountains and valleys, [and] drinks water of the rain of Heaven:
Deu 11:12 a land which the LORD Thy God cares for: the eyes of the LORD Thy God [are] always upon it, from the beginning of the year until the end of the year.
Deu 11:13 {Mezuzah 2}.
        And it shall be, if ye shall carefully listen to My Commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deu 11:14 That I shall give [you] the rain of your land in its due season, the Former Rain and the Latter Rain, that Thou may gather in Thy grain, and Thy new wine and Thy oil.
Deu 11:15 And I shall give grass in Thy fields for Thy cattle, that Thou may eat and be full.
Deu 11:16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other GODS, and worship them;
Deu 11:17 and [then] the LORD's wrath shall be kindled against you, and He shall shut up the Heaven, that there shall be no rain,
        and the land shall not yield her fruit; and [lest] ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you.
Deu 11:18 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.
Deu 11:19 And ye shall teach them to your sons, speaking of them when Thou sit in Thy house, and when Thou walk by the way, when Thou lie down, and when Thou rise up.
Deu 11:20 And Thou shall write them upon the door-posts of Thy house, and upon Thy gates:
Deu 11:21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your sons, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them, as the days of Heaven upon the Earth.
Deu 11:22
        For if ye shall diligently keep all these Commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him;
Deu 11:23 then shall the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
Deu 11:24 Every place on which the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the uttermost sea shall your limit be.
Deu 11:25 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 has said to you.
Deu 11:26
        Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
Deu 11:27 the blessing, if ye obey the Commandments of the LORD your God which I command you this day;
Deu 11:28 and the curse, if ye shall not obey the Commandments of the LORD your God,
        but turn aside from the way which I command you this day,
        to go after other GODS which ye have not known.
Deu 11:29
        And it shall be, when the LORD Thy God has brought Thee in to the land where Thou go to possess it, that Thou shall put the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse upon Mount Ebal.
Deu 11:30 [Are] they not on the other side of the Jordan, by the way where the sun goes down in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain opposed to Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
Deu 11:31 For ye shall pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell in it.
Deu 11:32 And ye shall observe to do all the Statutes and Judgments which I set before you this day.

Deu 12:1 These [are] the Statutes and Judgments which ye shall observe to do in the land which the LORD, God of Thy fathers gives Thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the Earth.
Deu 12:2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places in which the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
Deu 12:3 and ye shall overthrow their Altars, and break their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
Deu 12:4 Ye shall not do so to the LORD your God.
Deu 12:5 But the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, his habitation shall ye seek, and there Thou shall come:
Deu 12:6 and there ye shall bring your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave-offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your free-will-offerings, and the firstlings of your herds, and of your flocks:
Deu 12:7 and there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand to, ye and your households, in which the LORD Thy God has blessed Thee.
Deu 12:8
        Ye shall not do after all [the things] that we do here this day, every man whatever [is] right in his own eyes.
Deu 12:9 For now ye have not come to the rest and to the inheritance which the LORD your God gives you.
Deu 12:10 But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, and [when] He gives you rest from all your enemies on every side, so that ye dwell in safety:
Deu 12:11 then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; there shall ye bring all that I command you;
          your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand,
        and all your choice vows which ye vow to the LORD:
Deu 12:12 and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite that [is] within your gates; forasmuch as he has no part nor inheritance with you.
Deu 12:13 Take heed to thyself that Thou offer not Thy burnt-offerings in every place that Thou see:
Deu 12:14 but in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of Thy tribes, there Thou shall offer Thy burnt-offerings, and there Thou shall do all that I command Thee.
Deu 12:15 Nevertheless Thou may kill and eat flesh in all Thy gates, whatever Thy soul desires, according to the blessing of the LORD Thy God which He has given Thee:
        the unclean and the clean may eat of it as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
Deu 12:16 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
Deu 12:17 Thou may not eat within Thy gates the tithe of Thy grain, or of Thy new wine, or of Thy oil, or the firstlings of Thy herds or of Thy flock, nor any of Thy vows which Thou vow, nor Thy free-will-offerings, or heave-offering of Thy hand:
Deu 12:18 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 man-servant, and Thy maid-servant, and the Levite that [is] within Thy gates: and Thou shall rejoice before the LORD Thy God in all that Thou put Thy hands to.
Deu 12:19 Take heed to thyself that Thou forsake not the Levite as long as Thou live upon the Earth.
Deu 12:20
        When the LORD Thy God shall enlarge Thy border, as He has promised Thee, and Thou shall say, I shall eat flesh, because Thy soul longs to eat flesh; Thou may eat flesh, whatever Thy soul desires.
Deu 12:21 If the place which the LORD Thy God has chosen to put his name there, shall be too far from Thee, then Thou shall kill of Thy herd and of Thy flock, which the LORD has given Thee, as I have commanded Thee,
        and Thou shall eat in Thy gates whatever Thy soul desires.
Deu 12:22 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so Thou shall eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
Deu 12:23 Only be sure that Thou eat not the blood: for the <blood [is] the soul>; and Thou may not eat the soul with the flesh.
Deu 12:24 Thou shall not eat it: Thou shall pour it upon the earth as water.
Deu 12:25 Thou shall not eat it; that it may be well with Thee, and with Thy sons after Thee, when Thou shall do [that which is] right in the eyes of the LORD.
Deu 12:26 Only Thy Holy things which Thou have, and Thy vows, Thou shall take, and go to the place which the LORD shall choose:
Deu 12:27 And Thou shall 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 shall eat the flesh.
Deu 12:28 Observe and hear all these words which I command Thee, that it may be well with Thee, and with Thy sons after Thee forever, when Thou do [that which is] good and right in the eyes of the LORD Thy God.
Deu 12:29
        When the LORD Thy God shall cut off the nations from before Thee, where Thou go to possess them, and Thou succeed them, and dwell in their land.
Deu 12:30 Take heed to thyself that Thou be not snared by following them, after that they are destroyed from before Thee; and that Thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? Even so I shall do the same.
Deu 12:31 Thou shall not do so to the LORD Thy God; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates, they have done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

Deu 12:32 Whatever thing I command you, observe to do it: Thou shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.
Deu 13:1 If there shall arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and give Thee a sign or a wonder.
Deu 13:2 And the sign or the wonder shall be, of which He spoke to Thee, saying, Let us go after other GODS, which Thou have not known, and let us serve them;
Deu 13:3 Thou shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proves you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deu 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear Him, and keep His Commandments, and obey His voice, and ye shall serve Him, and cleave to Him.
Deu 13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death;
        because he has spoken to turn [ye] away from the LORD your God,
        who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the House of Bondage,
        to thrust Thee out of the way which the LORD Thy God commanded Thee to walk in.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from among Thee.
Deu 13:6
        If Thy brother, the son of Thy mother, or Thy son, or Thy daughter, or the wife of Thy bosom, or Thy friend,
        who [is] as Thy own soul, shall entice Thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other GODS, which Thou have not known, Thou, nor Thy fathers;
Deu 13:7 of the gods of the peoples who [are] around you, near to Thee, or far off from Thee, from [one] end of the Earth even to the [other] end of the Earth;
Deu 13:8 Thou shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall Thy eye pity him, neither shall Thou spare, neither shall Thou conceal him:
Deu 13:9 but Thou shall surely kill him; Thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
Deu 13:10 And Thou shall stone him with stones that he shall die; because he has sought to thrust Thee away from the LORD Thy God, who brought Thee out of the land of Egypt from the House of Bondage.
Deu 13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is, among you.
Deu 13:12
        If Thou shall hear, in one of Thy cities, which the LORD Thy God has given Thee to dwell there, saying,
Deu 13:13 [Some] men, the sons of Belial{the Worthless}, have gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city,
          saying, Let us go and serve other GODS, which ye have not known;
Deu 13:14 then shall Thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently;
          and behold, [if it is] truth, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought among you;
Deu 13:15 Thou shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword,
           destroying it utterly, and all that [is] in it, and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.
Deu 13:16 And Thou shall gather all the spoil of it into the middle of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all the spoil of it completely,
          for the LORD Thy God: and it shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again.
Deu 13:17 And there shall cleave naught of the cursed thing to Thy hand:
          that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show Thee mercy, and have compassion upon Thee, and multiply Thee, as He has sworn to Thy fathers;
Deu 13:18 when Thou shall listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God, to keep all His Commandments which I command Thee this day, to do [that which is] right in the eyes of the LORD Thy God.
Deu 14:1
        Ye [are] the sons to the LORD your God:
        ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Deu 14:2 For Thou [are] a Holy people{Saints} to the LORD Thy God,
         and the LORD has chosen Thee to be a peculiar people to Himself, above all the nations that [are] upon the Earth.
Deu 14:3
        Thou shall not eat any abominable thing.
Deu 14:4 These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
Deu 14:5 the hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow-deer, and the antelope, and the pygarg, and the oryx, and the chamois.
Deu 14:6 And every beast that parts the hoof, and cleaves the cleft into two claws, [and] chews the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
Deu 14:7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat, of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax:
         for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] they [are] unclean to you.
Deu 14:8 And the swine, because it divides the hoof, yet chews not the cud, [is] unclean to you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their carcass.
Deu 14:9
        These ye shall eat, of all that [are] in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat.
Deu 14:10 And whatever has not fins and scales ye may not eat; it [is] unclean to you.
Deu 14:11 Of all clean fowls ye may eat.
Deu 14:12 But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
Deu 14:13 and the buzzard, and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,
Deu 14:14 and every raven after its kind,
Deu 14:15 and the ostrich, and the crow, and the gull, and the hawk after its kind,
Deu 14:16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the barn owl,
Deu 14:17 and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,
Deu 14:18 and the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
Deu 14:19 And every swarmer that flies [is] unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
Deu 14:20 Of all clean fowls ye may eat.
Deu 14:21 Ye shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: Thou shall give it to the stranger that [is] in Thy gates, that he may eat it;
        or Thou may sell it to an alien: for Thou [are] a Holy people{Saints} to the LORD Thy God.
        Thou shall not boil a kid in his mother's milk.
Deu 14:22
        Thou shall truly tithe all the increase of Thy seed, that the field brings forth year by year.
Deu 14:23 And Thou shall eat before the LORD Thy God, in the place which He shall choose to place His name there,
          the tithe of Thy grain, of Thy new wine, and of Thy oil, and the firstlings of Thy herds and of Thy flocks;
          that Thou may learn to fear the LORD Thy God always.
Deu 14:24 And if the way is too long for Thee, so that Thou are not able to carry it; [or] if the place is too far from Thee, which the LORD Thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD Thy God has blessed Thee:
Deu 14:25 then shall Thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the money in Thy hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD Thy God shall choose:
Deu 14:26 And Thou shall bestow that money for whatever Thy soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for shekar{strong drink}, or for whatever Thy soul desires:
        and Thou shall eat there before the LORD Thy God, and Thou shall rejoice, Thou, and Thy household.
Deu 14:27 And the Levite that [is] within Thy gates, Thou shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with Thee.
Deu 14:28 At the end of three years Thou shall bring forth all the tithe of Thy increase the same year, and shall lay [it] up within Thy gates:
Deu 14:29 and the Levite, (because he has no part nor inheritance with Thee) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within Thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied;
        that the LORD Thy God may bless Thee in all the work of Thy hand which Thou do.
Deu 15:1
        At the end of [every] seven years Thou shall make a release.
Deu 15:2 And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends [aught] to his neighbour shall release;
        he shall not exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release.
Deu 15:3 Of a stranger Thou may exact [it]: but [that] which is Thy with Thy brother Thy hand shall release:
Deu 15:4 only when there shall be no poor among you;
        for the LORD shall greatly bless Thee in the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee [for] an inheritance to possess it.
Deu 15:5
        Only if Thou shall carefully listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God, to observe to do all these Commandments which I command Thee this day.
Deu 15:6 For the LORD Thy God shall bless Thee, as He promised Thee: and Thou shall lend to many nations, but Thou shall not borrow; and Thou shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over Thee.
Deu 15:7 If there shall be among you a poor man of one of Thy brethren within any of Thy gates in Thy land which the LORD the God gives Thee, Thou shall not harden Thy heart, nor shut Thy hand from Thy poor brother:
Deu 15:8 but Thou shall open Thy hand wide to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he lacks.
Deu 15:9 Beware that there be not a thought in Thy worthless heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is near; and Thy eye shall be evil against Thy poor brother,
        and Thou shall give him naught; and he shall cry to the LORD against Thee, and it shall be sin to Thee.
Deu 15:10 Thou shall surely give him, and Thy heart shall not be grieved when Thou give to him: because that for this thing the LORD Thy God shall bless Thee in all Thy works, and in all that Thou put Thy hand to.
Deu 15:11 For the poor shall never cease from the land: therefore I command Thee, saying, Thou shall open Thy hand wide to Thy brother, to Thy poor, and to Thy needy, in Thy land.
Deu 15:12
        If Thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, shall be sold to Thee, and serve Thee six years; then in the seventh year Thou shall let him go free from Thee.
Deu 15:13 And when Thou send him out free from Thee, Thou shall not let him depart empty:
Deu 15:14 Thou shall furnish him liberally out of Thy flock, and out of Thy threshing-floor, and out of Thy winepress: [of that] with which the LORD Thy God has blessed Thee Thou shall give to him.
Deu 15:15 And Thou shall remember that Thou were a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD Thy God redeemed Thee: therefore I command Thee this thing this day.
Deu 15:16 And it shall be, if He shall say to Thee, I shall not leave Thee; because He loves Thee and Thy house, because He is well with Thee;
Deu 15:17 then Thou shall take an awl, and thrust [it] through his ear into the door, and he shall be Thy servant forever. And also to Thy maid-servant Thou shall do likewise.
Deu 15:18 It shall not seem hard to Thee, when Thou send him away free from Thee; for he has been of double the worth of a hired servant [to Thee], in serving Thee six years:
        and the LORD Thy God shall bless Thee in all that Thou do.
Deu 15:19
        All the firstling males that come of Thy herd and of Thy flock Thou shall sanctify to the LORD Thy God:
          Thou shall do no work with the firstling of Thy bull, nor shear the firstling of Thy sheep.
Deu 15:20 Thou shall eat it before the LORD Thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, Thou and Thy household.
Deu 15:21 And if there is [any] blemish in it, [as if it is] lame, or blind, [or has] any ill blemish, Thou shall not sacrifice it to the LORD Thy God.
Deu 15:22 Thou shall eat it within Thy gates: the unclean and the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
Deu 15:23 Only Thou shall not eat its blood; Thou shall pour it upon the ground as water.

Deu 16:1 Observe the month Abib, and keep the Passover to the LORD Thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD Thy God brought Thee forth from Egypt by night.
Deu 16:2 Thou shall therefore sacrifice the Passover to the LORD Thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
Deu 16:3 Thou shall eat no leavened [bread] with it; seven days shall Thou eat Unleavened [Bread] with it, the bread of affliction;
        for Thou came forth from the land of Egypt in haste: that Thou may remember the day when Thou came forth from the land of Egypt, all the days of Thy life.
Deu 16:4 And there shall be no leavened [bread] seen with Thee in all Thy borders seven days; neither shall there [anything] of the flesh, which Thou did sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
Deu 16:5 Thou may not sacrifice the Passover within any of Thy gates, which the LORD Thy God gives Thee.
Deu 16:6 But at the place which the LORD Thy God shall choose to place his name in, there Thou shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of Thy departure from Egypt.
Deu 16:7 And Thou shall roast and eat [it] in the place which the LORD Thy God shall choose: and Thou shall turn in the morning, and go to Thy tents.
Deu 16:8 Six days Thou shall eat Unleavened [Bread]: and on the seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD Thy God: [in it] Thou shall do no work.
Deu 16:9
        Seven weeks shall Thou number to Thee: begin to number the seven weeks from [the time when] Thou begin [to put] the sickle to the standing-grain.
Deu 16:10 And Thou shall keep the Festival of Weeks{Pentecost} to the LORD Thy God with a tribute of a free-will-offering of Thy hand,
        which Thou shall give according as the LORD Thy God has blessed Thee:
Deu 16:11 And Thou shall rejoice before the LORD Thy God,
        Thou, and Thy son, and Thy daughter, and Thy man-servant, and Thy maid-servant, and the Levite that [is] within Thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you,
        in the place which the LORD Thy God has chosen to place his name there.
Deu 16:12
        And Thou shall remember that Thou were a bondman in Egypt: and Thou shall observe and do these Statutes.
Deu 16:13
        Thou shall observe the Festival of Tabernacles seven days, after that Thou have gathered in Thy threshing-floor, and Thy winepress.
Deu 16:14 And Thou shall rejoice in Thy Festival, Thou, and Thy son, and Thy daughter, and Thy man-servant, and Thy maid-servant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within Thy gates:
Deu 16:15 Seven days shall Thou keep a solemn Festival to the LORD Thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose:
        because the LORD Thy God shall bless Thee in all Thy increase, and in all the works of Thy hands, therefore Thou shall surely rejoice.
Deu 16:16 Three times in a year shall all Thy males appear before the LORD Thy God in the place which He shall choose;
        in the Festival of Unleavened [Bread], and in the Festival of Weeks{Pentecost}, and in the Festival of Tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
Deu 16:17 every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD Thy God which He has given Thee.
Deu 16:18
        Judges and officers shall Thou make Thee in all Thy gates, which the LORD Thy God gives Thee, throughout Thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
Deu 16:19 Thou shall not wrest judgment; Thou shall not respect of persons{favouritism}, neither take a gift; for a gift does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
Deu 16:20 That which is altogether just shall Thou follow, that Thou may live, and inherit the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee.
Deu 16:21 Thou shall not plant Thee an Asherah of any trees near to the Altar of the LORD Thy God, which Thou shall make for Thee.
Deu 16:22 Neither shall Thou set Thee up [any] pillar; which the LORD Thy God hates;
Deu 17:1
        Thou shall not sacrifice to the LORD Thy God [any] bull, or sheep, in which is blemish, [or] anything bad: for that [is] an abomination to the LORD Thy God.
Deu 17:2
        If there shall be found among you, within any of Thy gates which the LORD Thy God gives Thee, man or woman that did evil in the eyes of the LORD Thy God, in transgressing His Covenant,
Deu 17:3 and has gone and served other GODS, and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the Army of Heaven, which I have not commanded;
Deu 17:4 and it has been told to Thee, and Thou have heard [of it], and inquired diligently, and behold, [it is] true, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel:
Deu 17:5 then shall Thou bring forth to Thy gates that man or that woman, who have committed that wicked thing, that man or that woman, and shall stone them with stones, until they die.
Deu 17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he who is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Deu 17:7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from among Thee.
Deu 17:8
        If there shall arise a matter too hard for Thee in judgment,
        between blood and blood,
        between plea and plea,
        and between stroke and stroke,
        [being] matters of controversy within Thy gates:
        then shall Thou arise, and go up to the place which the LORD Thy God shall choose;
Deu 17:9
        And Thou shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall show Thee the sentence of judgment:
Deu 17:10 And Thou shall do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show Thee; and Thou shall observe to do according to all that they inform Thee:
Deu 17:11 according to the sentence of the Law which they shall teach Thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell Thee, Thou shall do:
        Thou shall not decline from the sentence which they shall show Thee, to the right hand or to the left.
Deu 17:12 And the man that shall do presumptuously, and shall not listen to the priest that stands to minister there before the LORD Thy God, or to the judge, even that man shall die.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from Israel.
Deu 17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Deu 17:14
        When Thou are come into the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, I shall set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;
Deu 17:15 Thou shall in any wise set him king over Thee whom the LORD Thy God shall choose: [one] from among Thy brethren shall Thou set king over Thee: Thou may not set a stranger over Thee, who [is] not Thy brother;
Deu 17:16 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 has said to you, ye shall henceforth return no more that way;
Deu 17:17 neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart may turn not away: neither shall he greatly accumulate to himself silver and gold.
Deu 17:18 And it shall be when he sits 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.
Deu 17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this Law and these Statutes, to do them:
Deu 17:20 that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, and that he may not turn aside from the Commandment to the right hand or to the left:
        to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his sons, in the middle of Israel.
Deu 18:1
        The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
Deu 18:2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he has said to them.
Deu 18:3 And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep; and they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach.
Deu 18:4 The first-fruit [also] of Thy grain, of Thy new wine, and of Thy oil, and the first of the fleece of Thy sheep, shall Thou give him.
Deu 18:5 For the LORD Thy God has chosen him out of all Thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons forever.
Deu 18:6 And if a Levite shall come from any of Thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his soul to the place which the LORD shall choose;
Deu 18:7 then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites [do], who stand there before the LORD.
Deu 18:8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which comes of the sale of their fathers'{patrimony}.

Deu 18:9 When Thou are come into the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee, Thou shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Deu 18:10 There shall not be found among you [anyone] that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that uses divination, or an observer of clouds, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
Deu 18:11 that cast a spell, a medium or spiritist that call up the dead.
Deu 18:12 For all that do these [things are] an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD Thy God does drive them out from before Thee.
Deu 18:13 Thou shall be perfect with the LORD Thy God.
Deu 18:14 For these nations, which Thou shall possess, listened to observers of clouds, and to diviners: but as for Thee, the LORD Thy God has not permitted Thee so [to do].
Deu 18:15 A Prophet from among of Thee, shall the LORD Thy God raise up to Thee of Thy brethren like to Me; [to] Him shall ye listen. [Act 3:22 Act 7:37]
Deu 18:16 According to all that Thou desired of the LORD Thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying,
        Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I may not die.
Deu 18:17
        And the LORD said to me, They have well [spoken of that] which they have spoken.
Deu 18:18 I shall raise up to them a Prophet from among their brethren, like Thee, and shall put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak to them all that I shall command Him.
Deu 18:19 And it shall be, [that] whoever shall not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I shall require [it] of Him.
Deu 18:20 But the prophet, who shall presume to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other GODS, even that prophet shall die.
Deu 18:21 And if Thou shall say in Thy heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not follow, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD has not spoken,
        [but] the prophet has spoken presumptuously: Thou shall not be afraid of him.

Deu 19:1 When the LORD Thy God has cut off the nations, whose land the LORD Thy God gives Thee, and Thou succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses;
Deu 19:2 Thou shall separate three cities for Thee in the middle of Thy land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee to possess it.
Deu 19:3 Thou shall prepare Thee a way, and divide the limits of Thy land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee there.
Deu 19:4 And this [is] the case of the slayer, who shall flee there, that he may live: Whoever kills his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not yesterday and before;
Deu 19:5 as when a man goes into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand makes a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree,
        and the iron slips from the helve, and falls upon his neighbour, that he dies: he shall flee to one of these cities, and live:
Deu 19:6 lest the avenger of blood shall pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay his soul; whereas he [was] not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not yesterday and before.
Deu 19:7 Therefore I command Thee, saying, Thou shall separate three cities for Thee.
Deu 19:8 And if the LORD Thy God shall enlarge Thy limits, as He has sworn to Thy fathers, and give Thee all the land which He promised to give to Thy fathers;
Deu 19:9 if Thou shall 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 shall Thou add three cities more for Thee, besides these three:
Deu 19:10 that innocent blood may not be shed in Thy land, which the LORD Thy God gives Thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood be upon Thee.
Deu 19:11
        But if any man shall hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite his soul, that he dies, and he shall flee into one of these cities:
Deu 19:12 then the elders of his city shall send and bring him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
Deu 19:13 Thy eye shall not pity him, but Thou shall remove [the guilt of] innocent blood from Israel, that it may be well with Thee.

Deu 19:14 Thou shall not remove Thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in Thy inheritance, which Thou shall inherit in the land that the LORD Thy God gives Thee to possess it.

Deu 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins;
        by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses every saying shall be established. [2Co 13:1]
Deu 19:16 If a false witness shall rise up against any man to testify against him [that which is] wrong;
Deu 19:17 then both the men between whom the controversy [is] shall stand before the LORD, before the priests, and the judges, who shall be in those days;
Deu 19:18 and the judges shall make diligent inquiry: and behold, [if] the witness [is] a false witness, [and] has testified falsely against his brother;
Deu 19:19 then shall ye do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from among Thee.
Deu 19:20 And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
Deu 19:21 And Thy eye shall not pity; [but] soul for soul, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Deu 20:1 When Thou go out to battle against Thy enemies, and see horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than Thou,
        be not afraid of them: for the LORD Thy God [is] with Thee, who brought Thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Deu 20:2 And it shall be when ye are come near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
Deu 20:3 and shall say to them, Hear, Israel, ye approach this day to battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
Deu 20:4 for the LORD your God [is] He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Deu 20:5 And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man [is there] that has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should dedicate it.
Deu 20:6 And what man [is he] that has planted a vineyard, and has not [yet] eaten of it? Let him [also] go and return to his house, lest he should die in the battle, and another man should eat of it.
Deu 20:7 And what man [is there] that has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he should die in battle, and another man should take her.
Deu 20:8 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man [is there that is] fearful and faint of heart? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brethren's heart should faint as well as his heart.
Deu 20:9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
Deu 20:10
        When Thou come near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
Deu 20:11 And it shall be, if it shall make Thee answer of peace, and open to Thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people [that are] found in it, shall be tributaries to Thee, and they shall serve Thee.
Deu 20:12 And if it shall make no peace with Thee, but shall make war against Thee, then Thou shall besiege it:
Deu 20:13 and when the LORD Thy God has delivered it into Thy hands, Thou shall smite every male of it with the edge of the sword:
Deu 20:14 but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, all the spoil of it, shall Thou take to thyself: and Thou shall eat the spoil of Thy enemies,
        which the LORD Thy God has given Thee.
Deu 20:15 Thus shall Thou do to all the cities [which are] very distant from Thee, which [are] not of the cities of these nations.
Deu 20:16 But of the cities of these people which the LORD Thy God does give Thee [for] an inheritance, Thou shall save alive nothing that breathes:
Deu 20:17 but Thou shall utterly destroy them, [namely], the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites and the Girgashites,
        as the LORD Thy God has commanded Thee:
Deu 20:18 that they may not teach you to do after all their abominations which they have done to their gods; so would ye sin against the LORD your God.
Deu 20:19
        When Thou shall besiege a city a long time in making war against it to take it, Thou shall not destroy the trees of it by forcing an axe against them;
        for Thou may eat of them: and Thou shall not cut them down (for the tree of the field [is] man's [life]) to employ [them] in the siege:
Deu 20:20 only the trees which Thou know that they [are] not trees for food, Thou shall destroy and cut them down;
        and Thou shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with Thee, until it shall be subdued.
Deu 21:1
        If [one] shall be found slain,
        in the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee to possess it,
        lying in the field, [and] it be not known who has slain him:
Deu 21:2 then Thy elders and Thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which [are] around him that is slain:
Deu 21:3 and it shall be [that] the city [which is] next to the slain man, even the elders of the city shall take a heifer which has not been wrought with, [and] which has not drawn in the yoke;
Deu 21:4 and the elders of the city shall bring down the heifer to a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley;
Deu 21:5 and the priests the sons of Levi shall come near (for them the LORD Thy God has chosen to minister to Him,
        and to bless in the name of the LORD) and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [tried];
Deu 21:6 and all the elders of the city [that are] next to the slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
Deu 21:7 and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it].
Deu 21:8 Be merciful, LORD, to Thy people Israel, whom Thou have redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of Thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Deu 21:9 So Thou shall remove the [guilt of] innocent blood from among you, when Thou shall do [that which is] right in the eyes of the LORD.
Deu 21:10
        When Thou go forth to war against Thy enemies, and the LORD Thy God has delivered them into Thy hands, and Thou have taken them captive,
Deu 21:11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and have a desire to her, that Thou would have her for Thy wife:
Deu 21:12 then Thou shall bring her home to Thy house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails:
Deu 21:13 and she shall put off from her the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in Thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month:
        and after that, Thou shall go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be Thy wife.
Deu 21:14 And it shall be, if Thou shall have no delight in her, then Thou shall let her go where she [will as] soul; but Thou shall not sell her at all for money;
        Thou shall not make merchandise of her, because Thou have humbled her.
Deu 21:15
        If a man shall have two wives, one beloved, and another less loved, and they have borne him sons, [both] the beloved and the less loved; and [if] the first-born son be hers that was hated:
Deu 21:16 then it shall be, in the day he makes his sons to inherit [that] which he has, [that] he may not prefer the son of the beloved first-born, before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the first-born:
Deu 21:17 but he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for] the first-born, by giving him a double portion of all that he has: for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born [is] his.
Deu 21:18
        If a man shall have a stubborn and rebellious son, who shall not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [who], when they have chastened him, shall not listen to them:
Deu 21:19 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;
Deu 21:20 and they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he shall not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard.
Deu 21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he may die.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from among Thee, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Deu 21:22
        And if a man shall have committed a sin worthy of death, and he must be put to death, and Thou shall hang him on a tree.
Deu 21:23 His carcass shall not remain all night upon the tree, but Thou shall in any wise bury him that day;
        every one who hanging on a tree: [is] accursed of GOD; [Gal 3:13]
        that Thy land may not be defiled, which the LORD Thy God gives Thee [for] an inheritance.
Deu 22:1
        Thou shall not see Thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: Thou shall in any case bring them back to Thy brother.
Deu 22:2 And if Thy brother shall not [be] near to Thee, or if Thou shall not know him, then Thou shall bring it to Thy own house, and it shall be with Thee until Thy brother shall seek after it, and Thou shall restore it to him.
Deu 22:3
        So shall Thou do with his ass; and so shall Thou do with his clothing; and with any lost thing of Thy brother's, which he has lost, and Thou have found, so shall Thou do: Thou may not hide thyself.
Deu 22:4 Thou shall not see Thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: Thou shall surely help him to lift [them] up again.
Deu 22:5
        A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination to the LORD Thy God.
Deu 22:6
        If a bird's nest shall chance to be before Thee in the way on any tree, or on the ground, [whether with] young ones, or eggs, and the mother{dam} sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, Thou shall not take the mother{dam} with the young:
Deu 22:7 [but] Thou shall in any wise let the mother{dam} go, and take the young to Thee; that it may be well with Thee, and [that] Thou may prolong [Thy] days.
Deu 22:8
        When Thou build a new house, then Thou shall make a parapet for Thy roof, that Thou may not bring blood upon Thy house, if any man shall fall from thence.
Deu 22:9
        Thou shall not sow Thy vineyard with diverse seeds: lest the fruit of Thy seed which Thou have sown, and the fruit of Thy vineyard, should be defiled.
Deu 22:10 Thou shall not plough with an ox and an ass together.
Deu 22:11 Thou shall not wear a garment of diverse sorts, wool and linen together.
Deu 22:12
        Thou shall make Thee fringes upon the four quarters of Thy vesture, with which Thou cover [thyself].
Deu 22:13
        If any man shall take a wife, and go in to her, and hate her,
Deu 22:14 and give occasions of speech against her, and bring an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
Deu 22:15 then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth [the signs of] the damsel's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate:
Deu 22:16 and the damsel's father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hates her,
Deu 22:17 and behold, he has given occasions of speech [against her], saying, I found not Thy daughter a maid; and yet these [are the signs of] my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
Deu 22:18 And the elders of the city shall take that man and chastise him;
Deu 22:19 and they shall fine him in a hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] to the father of the damsel, because he has brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
Deu 22:20
        But if this thing shall be true, [and the signs of] virginity be not found for the damsel:
Deu 22:21 then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she may die:
        because she has wrought folly in Israel, to be guilty of whoredom in her father's house.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from among Thee.
Deu 22:22
        If a man shall 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.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from Israel.
Deu 22:23 If a damsel [that is] a virgin shall be betrothed to a husband, and a man shall find her in the city, and lie with her;
Deu 22:24 then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they may die;
        the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbour's wife.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from among Thee.
Deu 22:25
        But if a man shall find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man shall rape her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die:
Deu 22:26 but to the damsel Thou shall do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbour, and slays his soul, even so [is] this matter:
Deu 22:27 for he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her.
Deu 22:28
        If a man shall find a damsel [that is] a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Deu 22:29 then the man that lay with her shall give to the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he has humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

Deu 22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.
Deu 23:1
        He who is wounded or mutilated in his privy member, shall not enter into the Congregation of the LORD.
Deu 23:2 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.
Deu 23:3
        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 forever:
Deu 23:4 because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth from Egypt;
        and because they hired against Thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Aram-naharaim, to curse Thee.
Deu 23:5 And the LORD Thy God would not listen to Balaam: but the LORD Thy God turned the curse into a blessing to Thee, because the LORD Thy God loved Thee.
Deu 23:6 Thou shall not seek their peace, nor their prosperity all Thy days forever.
Deu 23:7 Thou shall not abhor an Edomite, for he [is] Thy brother.
         Thou shall not abhor an Egyptian, because Thou were a stranger in his land.
Deu 23:8 The sons that are begotten by them shall enter into the Congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
Deu 23:9 When the camp goes forth against Thy enemies, then keep Thee from every wicked thing.
Deu 23:10
        If there shall be among you any man that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chances to him by night, then shall he go outside the camp, he shall not come inside the camp:
Deu 23:11 but it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall wash [himself] with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp.
Deu 23:12 And Thou shall have a place outside the camp, where Thou shall go forth abroad:
Deu 23:13 And Thou shall have a paddle upon Thy weapon: and it shall be when Thou shall ease thyself abroad, Thou shall dig with it, and shall turn back, and cover that which comes from Thee:
Deu 23:14 for the LORD Thy God walks in the middle of Thy camp, to deliver Thee, and to give up Thy enemies before Thee;
        therefore shall Thy camp be Holy: that he may see no shameful thing in Thee, and turn away from Thee.
Deu 23:15 Thou shall not deliver to his master the servant who has escaped from his master to Thee.
Deu 23:16
        He shall dwell with Thee, among you in that place which he shall choose in one of Thy gates where it pleases him best: Thou shall not oppress him.
Deu 23:17 There shall be no harlot of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Deu 23:18
        Thou shall 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 to the LORD Thy God.
Deu 23:19 Thou shall not lend upon interest to Thy brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest.
Deu 23:20
        To a stranger Thou may lend upon interest; but to Thy brother Thou shall not lend upon interest; that the LORD Thy God may bless Thee in all that Thou sets Thy hand to in the land where Thou go to possess it.
Deu 23:21
        When Thou shall vow a vow to the LORD Thy God, Thou shall not defer to pay it: for the LORD Thy God shall surely require it of Thee; and it would be sin in Thee.
Deu 23:22 But if Thou shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in Thee.
Deu 23:23 That which is uttered by Thy lips Thou shall keep and perform; a free-will-offering, according as Thou have vowed to the LORD Thy God, which Thou have promised with Thy mouth.
Deu 23:24
        When Thou come into Thy neighbour's vineyard, then Thou may satisfy Thy appetite with grapes of Thy soul; but Thou shall not put [any] in Thy vessel.
Deu 23:25 When Thou come into the standing-grain of Thy neighbour, then Thou may pluck the ears with Thy hand: but Thou shall not move a sickle to Thy neighbour's standing-grain.
Deu 24:1
        When a man has taken a wife, and married her, and it may come to pass that she finds no grace in his eyes,
        because he has found some shameful thing in her: and he writes her a writing of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deu 24:2 And when she has departed from his house, she may go and be another man's [wife].
Deu 24:3 And [if] the latter husband shall hate her, and write her a writing of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband shall die, who took her [to be] his wife;
Deu 24:4 her former husband who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is] abomination before the LORD:
        and Thou shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD Thy God gives Thee [for] an inheritance.
Deu 24:5
        When a man has newly taken a wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: [but] he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife which he has taken.
Deu 24:6
        No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone for a pledge: for he takes [a man's] soul for a pledge.
Deu 24:7
        If a man shall be found stealing any soul of his brethren of the sons of Israel, and shall make merchandise of him, or sell him; then that thief shall die.
        And Thou shall remove the evil from among Thee.
Deu 24:8 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.
Deu 24:9 Remember what the LORD Thy God did to Miriam by the way, after that ye come forth from Egypt.
Deu 24:10
        When Thou do lend Thy brother any thing, Thou shall not go into his house to take his pledge:
Deu 24:11 Thou shall stand abroad, and the man to whom Thou do lend shall bring out the pledge abroad to Thee:
Deu 24:12 and if the man [is] poor, Thou shall not sleep with his pledge:
Deu 24:13 in any case Thou shall deliver to him the pledge again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own clothing, and bless Thee; and it shall be righteousness to Thee before the LORD Thy God.
Deu 24:14
        Thou shall not oppress a hired servant [that is] poor and needy, [whether he is] of Thy brethren, or of Thy strangers that [are] in Thy land within Thy gates:
Deu 24:15 at his day Thou shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it, for he [is] poor, and lifted his soul upon it: lest he should cry against Thee to the LORD, and it be sin to Thee.
Deu 24:16
        The fathers shall not be killed for the sons, neither shall the sons be killed for the fathers: [but every] man shall be killed for his own sin.
Deu 24:17 Thou shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [nor] of the fatherless, nor take a widow's clothing for a pledge.
Deu 24:18 And Thou shall remember that Thou were a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD Thy God redeemed Thee thence: therefore I command Thee to do this thing.
Deu 24:19
        When Thou reap Thy harvest in Thy field, and have forgot a sheaf in the field, Thou shall not go back to fetch it:
        it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD Thy God may bless Thee in all the work of Thy hands.
Deu 24:20 When Thou beat Thy olive-tree, Thou shall not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Deu 24:21 When Thou gather the grapes of Thy vineyard, Thou shall not glean [it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
Deu 24:22 And Thou shall remember that Thou were a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command Thee to do this thing.
Deu 25:1
        If there shall be a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, that [the judges] may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
Deu 25:2 And it shall be, if the wicked [man be] worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
Deu 25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, [and] not exceed: lest [if] he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then Thy brother should seem vile to Thee.
Deu 25:4 Thou shall not muzzle an ox that is threshing. [1Co 9:9 1Ti 5:18]
Deu 25:5
        If brethren shall dwell together, and one of them shall die and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not marry without to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her,
        and take her to him for a wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.
Deu 25:6 And it shall be, [that] the first-born which she bears, shall succeed in the name of his brother [who is] dead, that his name may not become extinct in Israel.
Deu 25:7 And if the man shall not like to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate to the elders,
        and say, my husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother;
Deu 25:8 then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and [if] he shall stand [to it], and say, I like not to take her,
Deu 25:9 then shall his brother's wife come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face,
        and shall answer and say, So shall it be done to that man that will not build up his brother's house.
Deu 25:10 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that has his shoe loosed.
Deu 25:11
        When men strive together one with another,
        and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband from the hand of him that smites him,
        and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the secrets:
Deu 25:12 then Thou shall cut off her hand, Thy eye shall not pity [her].
Deu 25:13
        Thou shall not have in Thy bag a stone and a stone{diverse weights}, a great and a small:
Deu 25:14 Thou shall not have in Thy house an ephah and an ephah{diverse measures}, a great and a small:
Deu 25:15 [but] Thou shall have a perfect and just weight-stones, a perfect and just ephah{measure} shall Thou have;
        that Thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee.
Deu 25:16 For all that do such things, [and] all that do unrighteously, [are] an abomination to the LORD Thy God.

Deu 25:17 Remember what Amalek did to Thee by the way, when ye had come forth from Egypt;
Deu 25:18 how he met Thee by the way, and smote the rearmost of Thee, all [that were] feeble behind Thee,
        when Thou [were] faint and weary; and he feared not GOD.
Deu 25:19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD Thy God has given Thee rest from all Thy enemies on all sides,
        in the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee [for] an inheritance to possess it,
        [that] Thou shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under Heaven; Thou shall not forget [it].

Deu 26:1 And it shall be, when Thou have come in to the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee [for] an inheritance, and possesses it, and dwell in it;
Deu 26:2 that Thou shall take of the first of all the fruit of the Earth, which Thou shall bring of Thy land that the LORD Thy God gives Thee,
        and shall put [it] in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD Thy God shall choose to place his name there.
Deu 26:3 And Thou shall go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to the LORD Thy God, that I have come to the country which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.
Deu 26:4 And the priest shall take the basket from Thy hand, and set it down before the Altar of the LORD Thy God.
Deu 26:5 And Thou shall speak and say before the LORD Thy God, a Syrian ready to perish [was] my father, and he went down to Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
Deu 26:6 and the Egyptians ill-treated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
Deu 26:7 and when we cried to the LORD, God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression.
Deu 26:8 And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an out-stretched arm, and with great awesomeness, and with signs, and with wonders;
Deu 26:9 And He has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land that flowing with milk and honey.
Deu 26:10 And now, behold, I have brought the first-fruit of the land, which Thou, LORD, have given me: and Thou shall set it before the LORD Thy God, and worship before the LORD Thy God.

Deu 26:11 And Thou shall rejoice in every good [thing] which the LORD Thy God has given to Thee,
        and to Thy house, Thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.
Deu 26:12 When Thou have made an end of tithing all the tithes of Thy increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing,
        and have given [it] to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within Thy gates, and be filled:
Deu 26:13 then Thou shall say before the LORD Thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of My house,
        and also have given them to the Levite, and to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow,
        according to all Thy Commandments which Thou have commanded me: I have not transgressed Thy Commandments, neither have I forgotten [them]:
Deu 26:14 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I taken away [aught] of it for [any] unclean [use], nor given [aught] of it for the dead: [but] I have listened to the voice of the LORD my God,
        [and] have done according to all that Thou have commanded me.

Deu 26:15 Look down from Thy Holy habitation, from Heaven, and bless Thy people Israel, and the land which Thou have given us, as Thou did swear to our fathers, a land that flowing with milk and honey.
Deu 26:16 This day the LORD Thy God has commanded Thee to perform these Statutes and Judgments: Thou shall therefore keep and do them with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul. [Deu 6:5]
Deu 26:17 Thou have 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 listen to His voice.
Deu 26:18 And the LORD has avouched Thee this day to be his peculiar people, as He has promised Thee, and that [Thou] should keep all His Commandments;
Deu 26:19 and to make Thee high above all nations which He has made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that Thou may be a Holy people{Saints} to the LORD Thy God, as He has spoken.

Deu 27:1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the Commandments which I command you this day.
Deu 27:2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee, that Thou shall set Thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
Deu 27:3 And Thou shall write upon them all the words of this Law, when Thou have passed over, that Thou may enter in to the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee,
        a land that flowing with milk and honey; as the LORD, God of Thy fathers has spoken to Thee.
Deu 27:4 Therefore it shall be when ye have gone over the Jordan, [that] ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and Thou shall plaster them with plaster.
Deu 27:5 And there shall Thou build an Altar to the LORD Thy God, an Altar of stones: Thou shall not lift up [any] iron [tool] upon them.
Deu 27:6 Thou shall build the Altar of the LORD Thy God of whole stones: and Thou shall offer on it burnt-offerings to the LORD Thy God.
Deu 27:7 And Thou shall offer peace-offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before the LORD Thy God.
Deu 27:8 And Thou shall write upon the stones all the words of this Law, very plainly.
Deu 27:9
        And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Take heed and hear, Israel, this day Thou are become the people of the LORD Thy God.
Deu 27:10 Thou shall therefore listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God, and do His Commandments and His Statutes which I command Thee this day.
Deu 27:11
        And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
Deu 27:12 These shall stand upon Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye have come over the Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
Deu 27:13 and these shall stand upon Mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Deu 27:14 And the Levites shall speak, and say to all the men of Israel with a great voice,
Deu 27:15
          Cursed [be] the man that makes [any] graven or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the artificer, and puts [it] in a secret [place]! And all the people shall answer, and say Amen!

Deu 27:26 Cursed [be] all that continues not in all words of the Law to do them! And all the people shall say, Amen! [Gal 3:10]

Deu 28:1 And it shall be, if Thou shall carefully listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God,
        to observe [and] to do all His Commandments which I command Thee this day; that the LORD Thy God shall set Thee on high above all nations of the Earth:
Deu 28:2 and all these blessings shall come on Thee, and overtake Thee, if Thou shall listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God.
Deu 28:3 Blessed [shall] Thou [be] in the city, and blessed [shall] Thou [be] in the field!
Deu 28:4 Blessed [shall be] the fruit of Thy body, and the fruit of Thy ground, and the fruit of Thy cattle, the increase of Thy cattle, and the flocks of Thy sheep!
Deu 28:5 Blessed [shall be] Thy basket and Thy store!
Deu 28:6 Blessed [shall] Thou [be] when Thou come in, and blessed [shall] Thou [be] when Thou go out!
Deu 28:7 The LORD shall cause Thy enemies that rise up against Thee to be smitten before Thy face: they shall come out against Thee one way, and flee before Thee seven ways.

        and in all that Thou sets Thy hand to: and He shall bless Thee in the land which the LORD Thy God gives Thee.

Deu 28:12 The LORD shall open to Thee his good treasure, the Heaven to give rain to Thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of Thy hand: and Thou shall lend to many nations, and Thou shall not borrow.
Deu 28:13 And the LORD shall make Thee the head, and not the tail; and Thou shall be above only, and Thou shall not be beneath;
        if Thou shall listen to the Commandments of the LORD Thy God, which I command Thee this day, to observe and to do [them]:
Deu 28:14 And Thou shall not go aside from any of the words which I command Thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other GODS to serve them.
Deu 28:15
        But it shall be, if Thou shall not listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God,
        to observe to do all His Commandments and His Statutes which I command Thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon Thee, and overtake Thee.
Deu 28:16 Cursed [shall] Thou [be] in the city, and cursed [shall] Thou [be] in the field!
Deu 28:17 Cursed [shall be] Thy basket and Thy store!
Deu 28:18 Cursed [shall be] the fruit of Thy body, and the fruit of Thy land, the increase of Thy cows, and the flocks of Thy sheep!
Deu 28:19 Cursed [shall] Thou [be] when Thou come in, and cursed [shall] Thou [be] when Thou go out!
Deu 28:20 The LORD shall send upon Thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that Thou set your hand, until Thou shall be destroyed, and until Thou shall perish quickly; because of the wickedness of Thy doings by which Thou have forsaken Me.
Deu 28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave to Thee, until He shall have consumed Thee from off the land, where Thou go to possess it.

Deu 28:23 And Thy Heaven that [is] over Thy head shall be bronze, and the Earth that [is] under Thee [shall be] iron.
Deu 28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of Thy land powder and dust: from Heaven shall it come down upon Thee, until Thou are destroyed.
Deu 28:25 The LORD shall cause Thee to be smitten before Thy enemies: Thou shall go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them; and shall be removed into all the kingdoms of the World.
Deu 28:26 And Thy carcass shall be food to all fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the Earth, and no man shall drive [them] away.
Deu 28:27 The LORD shall smite Thee with the boil of Egypt, and with the haemorrhoids, and with the scab, and with the itch, of which Thou cannot be healed.
Deu 28:28 The LORD shall smite Thee with the madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
Deu 28:29 And Thou shall grope at noon, as the blind gropes in darkness, and Thou shall not prosper in Thy ways: and Thou shall be only oppressed and spoiled all the days, and no man shall save [Thee].
Deu 28:30 Thou shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: Thou shall build a house, and Thou shall not dwell in it: Thou shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes of it.
Deu 28:31 Thy ox [shall be] slain before Thy eyes, and Thou shall not eat of it: Thy ass [shall be] violently taken away from before Thy face,
        and shall not be restored to Thee: Thy sheep [shall be] given to Thy enemies, and Thou shall have none to rescue [them].
Deu 28:32 Thy sons and Thy daughters [shall be] given to another people, and Thy eyes shall look,
          and fail [with longing] for them all the day long: and [there shall be] no power in Thy hand.
Deu 28:33 The fruit of Thy land, and all Thy labours, shall be eaten by people which Thou know not: and Thou shall be only oppressed and crushed always:
Deu 28:34 so that Thou shall be mad for the sight of Thy eyes which Thou shall see.
Deu 28:35 The LORD shall smite Thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil that cannot be healed, from the sole of Thy foot to the top of Thy head.
Deu 28:36 The LORD shall bring Thee, and Thy king which Thou shall set over Thee,
           to a nation which neither Thou nor Thy fathers have known; and there shall Thou serve other GODS, wood and stone.
Deu 28:37 And Thou shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a by-word, among all nations where the LORD shall lead Thee.
Deu 28:38 Thou shall carry much seed into the field, and shall gather [but] little: for the locust shall consume it.
Deu 28:39 Thou shall plant vineyards and dress [them], but shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather [the grapes]: for the worm shall eat them.
Deu 28:40 Thou shall have olive-trees throughout all Thy coasts, but Thou shall not anoint [thyself] with the oil: for Thy olive shall cast [its fruit].

Deu 28:42 All Thy trees and fruit of Thy land shall the locust consume.
Deu 28:43 The stranger that [is] within Thee shall rise above Thee very high; and Thou shall come down very low.
Deu 28:44 He shall lend to Thee, and Thou shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and Thou shall be the tail.
Deu 28:45
        And all these curses shall come upon Thee, and shall pursue Thee, and overtake Thee, until Thou are destroyed:
        because Thou listened not to the voice of the LORD Thy God, to keep His Commandments and His Statutes which He commanded Thee:
Deu 28:46 and they shall be upon Thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon Thy seed forever.
Deu 28:47
        Because Thou did not serve the LORD Thy God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all [things]:
Deu 28:48 therefore shall Thou serve Thy enemies which the LORD shall send against Thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all [things]: and He shall put a yoke of iron upon Thy neck, until He has destroyed Thee.
Deu 28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against Thee from far, from the end of the Earth, [as swift] as the eagle flies, a nation whose language Thou shall not understand:
Deu 28:50 a nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the young:
Deu 28:51 and he shall eat the fruit of Thy cattle, and the fruit of Thy land, until Thou are destroyed:
          which [also] shall not leave Thee [either] grain, new wine, or oil, [or] the increase of Thy cattle, or flocks of Thy sheep, until He has destroyed Thee;
Deu 28:52 and he shall besiege Thee in all Thy gates, until Thy high and fortified walls come down, in which Thou did trust, throughout all Thy land;
        and he shall besiege Thee in all Thy gates throughout all Thy land which the LORD Thy God has given Thee.
Deu 28:53 And Thou shall eat the fruit of Thy own body, the flesh of Thy sons and of Thy daughters which the LORD Thy God has given Thee, in the siege and in the straitness with which Thy enemies shall distress Thee:
Deu 28:54 [so that] the man [that is] tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil towards his brother, and towards the wife of his bosom, and towards the remnant of his sons whom he shall leave:
Deu 28:55 so that he shall not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons whom he shall eat: because he has nothing left him in the siege and in the straitness with which Thy enemies shall distress Thee in all Thy gates.
Deu 28:56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness,
        her eye shall be evil towards the husband of her bosom, and towards her son, and towards her daughter,
Deu 28:57 and towards her afterbirth, (that comes out from between her feet), and towards her sons which she shall bear:
        for she shall eat them for lack of all [things] secretly in the siege and straitness with which Thy enemy shall distress Thee in Thy gates.

Deu 28:58 If Thou shall not observe to do all the words of this Law that are written in this Book, that Thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, the LORD Thy God;
Deu 28:59 then the LORD shall make Thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of Thy seed, great plagues, and of long continuance, and severe diseases, and of long continuance.
Deu 28:60 And he shall bring upon Thee all the diseases of Egypt, of which Thou were afraid; and they shall cleave to Thee.
Deu 28:61 Also every sickness, and every plague which [is] not written in the Book of this Law, them shall the LORD bring upon Thee, until Thou are destroyed.
Deu 28:62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of Heaven for multitude; because Thou would not listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God.
Deu 28:63 And it shall be, [that] as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD shall rejoice over you to destroy you,
        and to bring you to naught; and ye shall be plucked from off the land where Thou go to possess it.
Deu 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter Thee among all the peoples from the one end of the Earth even to the other;
           and there Thou shall serve other GODS, which neither Thou nor Thy fathers have known, wood and stone.
Deu 28:65 And among these nations shall Thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of Thy foot have rest:
           but the LORD shall give Thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of soul:
Deu 28:66 And Thy life shall hang in doubt before Thee; and Thou shall fear day and night, and shall have no assurance of Thy life:
Deu 28:67 in the morning Thou shall say, that it were evening,
          and at evening Thou shall say, that it were morning!
          For the fear of Thy heart with which Thou shall fear,
          and for the sight of Thy eyes which Thou shall see.
Deu 28:68 And the LORD shall bring Thee back into Egypt with ships, by the way of which I have said to Thee, Thou shall see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy [you].

Deu 29:1 These [are] the words of the Covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the Covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
Deu 29:2 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
Deu 29:3 the great temptations which Thy eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
Deu 29:4 yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until today. [Rom 11:8]
Deu 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes have not become old upon you, and Thy shoe has not become old upon Thy foot.
Deu 29:6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drank wine or shekar{strong drink}:
        that ye might know that I [AM] the LORD your God.
Deu 29:7 And when ye came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we smote them:
Deu 29:8 and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
Deu 29:9
        Keep therefore the words of this Covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Deu 29:10 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your chiefs of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all the men of Israel,
Deu 29:11 your little ones, your wives, and Thy stranger that [is] in Thy camp, from the hewer of Thy wood to the drawer of Thy water:
Deu 29:12 that Thou should enter into Covenant with the LORD Thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD Thy God makes with Thee this day:
Deu 29:13 that He may establish Thee today for a people to himself, and [that] He may be to Thee a GOD, as He has said to Thee, and as He has sworn to Thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
Deu 29:14 neither with you only do I make this Covenant and this oath;
Deu 29:15 but with him that stands here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that [is] not here with us this day:
Deu 29:16 (for ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by.
Deu 29:17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them);
Deu 29:18 lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns 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 bears gall and wormwood;
Deu 29:19 and it should come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst.
Deu 29:20 The LORD shall not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this Book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under Heaven.
Deu 29:21 And the LORD shall separate him to evil out of all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the Covenant that are written in this Book of the Law:
Deu 29:22 so that the generation to come of your sons that shall arise after you, and the stranger that shall come from a distant land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the diseases which the LORD has laid upon it;
Deu 29:23 [and that] the whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, [and] burning, [that] it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow in it,
        like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger and in his wrath:
Deu 29:24 even all the nations shall say, Why has the LORD done thus to this land? What [means] the heat of this great anger?
Deu 29:25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the Covenant of the LORD, God of their fathers, which He made with them when he brought them forth from the land of Egypt:
Deu 29:26 for they went and served other GODS, and worshiped them, GODS which they knew not, and which He had not given to them.
Deu 29:27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this Book.
Deu 29:28 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.
Deu 29:29 The secret [things belong] to the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] to us, and to our sons forever, that we may do all the words of this Law.

Deu 30:1 And it shall be, when all these things have come upon Thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before Thee,
         and Thou shall call [them] back to Thy heart, among all the nations where the LORD Thy God has driven Thee,
Deu 30:2 and shall return to the LORD Thy God, and shall obey His voice according to all that I command Thee this day, Thou and Thy sons, with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul; [Deu 6:5]
Deu 30:3 that then the LORD Thy God shall turn Thy captivity, and have compassion upon Thee, and shall return and gather Thee from all the nations where the LORD Thy God has scattered Thee.
Deu 30:4 If [any] of Thy shall be driven out to the outmost [parts] of Heaven, from thence shall the LORD Thy God gather Thee, and from thence shall He bring Thee.
Deu 30:5 And the LORD Thy God shall bring Thee into the land which Thy fathers possessed, and Thou shall possess it: and He shall do Thee good, and multiply Thee above Thy fathers.
Deu 30:6 And the LORD Thy God shall circumcise Thy heart, and the heart of Thy seed, to love the LORD Thy God with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul, that Thou may live. [Deu 6:5]
Deu 30:7 And the LORD Thy God shall put all these curses upon Thy enemies, and on them that hate Thee, who persecuted Thee.
Deu 30:8 And Thou shall return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all His Commandments which I command Thee this day.
Deu 30:9 And the LORD Thy God shall make Thee to abound in every work of Thy hand, in the fruit of Thy body, and in the fruit of Thy cattle, and in the fruit of Thy land,
        for good: for the LORD shall again rejoice over Thee for good, as He rejoiced over Thy fathers.
Deu 30:10
        If Thou shall listen to the voice of the LORD Thy God, to keep His Commandments and His Statutes which are written in this Book of the Law,
        [and] if Thou shall turn to the LORD Thy God with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul. [Deu 6:5]
Deu 30:11 For this Commandment which I command Thee this day, it [is] not hid from Thee, neither [is] it far off.
Deu 30:12 It [is] not in Heaven, that Thou should say, Who shall ascend for us to Heaven, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deu 30:13 Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that Thou should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deu 30:14 But the word [is] very near to Thee, in Thy mouth, and in Thy heart, that Thou may do it.
Deu 30:15 See, I have set before Thee this day life and good, and death and evil.
Deu 30:16
        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 may live and multiply: and the LORD Thy God shall bless Thee in the land where Thou go to possess it.
Deu 30:17
        But if Thy heart shall turn away, so that Thou shall not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other GODS, and serve them;
Deu 30:18 I denounce to you this day, that ye shall surely perish, [and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, where Thou pass over the Jordan to go to possess it.
Deu 30:19 I call the Heaven and the Earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that both Thou and Thy seed may live:
Deu 30:20 that Thou may love the LORD Thy God, [and] that Thou may obey His voice, and that Thou may cleave to him (for he [is] Thy life, and the length of Thy days);
        that Thou may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to Thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Deu 31:1 And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
Deu 31:2 And he said to them, I [am] a hundred twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD has said to me, Thou shall not go over this the Jordan.
Deu 31:3 The LORD Thy God, He shall go over before Thee, [and] He shall destroy these nations from before Thee, and Thou shall possess them: [and] Joshua shall go over before Thee, as the LORD has spoken.
Deu 31:4 And the LORD shall do to them as He did to Sihon, and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom He destroyed.
Deu 31:5 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do to them according to all the Commandments which I have commanded you.
Deu 31:6 Be strong and courageous, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD Thy God, He [it is] that does go with Thee, He shall not fail Thee, nor forsake Thee.
Deu 31:7
        And Moses called for Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous:
        for Thou must go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them; and Thou shall cause them to inherit it.
Deu 31:8 And the LORD [is] He that does go before Thee; He shall be with Thee, He shall not fail Thee, neither forsake Thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Deu 31:9 And Moses wrote this Law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.
Deu 31:10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the Festival of Tabernacles,
Deu 31:11 when all Israel is come to appear before the LORD Thy God in the place which He shall choose, Thou shall read this Law before all Israel in their hearing.
Deu 31:12 Convene the people, 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:
Deu 31:13 and [that] their sons who have not known [anything], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land where ye go over the Jordan to possess it.

Deu 31:14 And the LORD said to Moses,
        Behold, Thy days approach that Thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
        that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Deu 31:15 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.
Deu 31:16
        And the LORD said to Moses,
        Behold, Thou shall sleep with Thy fathers,
        and this people shall rise up, and commit idolatry with the gods of the strangers of the land,
        where they go [to be] among them, and shall forsake Me, and break My Covenant which I have made with them.
Deu 31:17 Then My anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I shall forsake them, and I shall hide My face from them,
        and they shall be devoured, and many evil things and troubles shall befall them,
        so that they shall say in that day, Have not these evil things come upon us, because our God [is] not among us?
Deu 31:18 And I shall surely hide My face in that day for all the evil things which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned to other GODS.
Deu 31:19 And now write ye this song for you, and teach it to the sons of Israel: put it in their mouths,
        that this song may be a witness for Me against the sons of Israel.
Deu 31:20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers,
        that flowing with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and became fat;
        then shall they turn to other GODS, and serve them, and provoke Me, and break My Covenant.
Deu 31:21 And it shall be, when many evil things and troubles have befallen them,
        that this song shall testify against them as a witness: for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed:
        for I know their imagination which they form, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.
Deu 31:22
        Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the sons of Israel.
Deu 31:23 And He gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and courageous:
        for Thou shall bring the sons of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I shall be with Thee.
Deu 31:24
        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,
Deu 31:25 that Moses commanded the Levites who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, saying,
Deu 31:26 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.
Deu 31:27 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?
Deu 31:28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call the Heaven and the Earth to record against them.
Deu 31:29 For I know that after my death ye shall utterly corrupt [yourselves], and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil shall befall you in the Latter Days;
        because ye shall do evil in the eyes of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.
Deu 31:30 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the Congregation of Israel the words of this song until they were ended.
Deu 32:1
        {Song of Moses}. [Rev 15:3]
        Give ear, ye Heavens, and I shall speak;
        and hear, Earth, the words of my mouth.
Deu 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
        My speech shall drop as the dew,
        as the small rain upon the tender herb,
        and as the showers upon the grass.
Deu 32:3
        Because I shall publish the name of the LORD:
         ascribe ye greatness to our God.
Deu 32:4 [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.
Deu 32:5
        They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of His sons:
        [they are] a perverse and crooked generation.
Deu 32:6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, foolish people and unwise?
        [Is] not He Thy Father [that] has bought Thee?
        Has He not made Thee, and established Thee?
Deu 32:7
        Remember the days of old,
        consider the years of many generations:
        ask Thy father, and He shall show Thee;
        Thy elders, and they shall tell Thee.
Deu 32:8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,
        when He separated the sons of men,
        He set the bounds of the people,
        according to the number of the sons of Israel.
Deu 32:9
        For the LORD's portion [is] His people;
        Jacob [is] the lot of His inheritance.
Deu 32:10 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 pupil of His eye.
Deu 32:11
        As an eagle stirs up her nest,
        hovers over her young,
        spreads abroad her wings,
        takes them, bears them on her wings;
Deu 32:12 [so] the LORD alone did lead him,
         and [there was] no strange God with him.
Deu 32:13
        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;
Deu 32:14 curd of cows, 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 did drink the pure blood of the grape.
Deu 32:15
        But Jeshurun{upright} became fat,
        and kicked: Thou have become fat,
        Thou are grown thick,
        Thou are covered [with fatness];
        then he forsook God [who] made him,
        and lightly esteemed the Rock of His Salvation.
Deu 32:16 They provoked Him to jealousy with strange [gods],
         with abominations they provoked Him to anger.
Deu 32:17
        They sacrificed to demons, not to God;
        to GODS which they knew not,
        to new [ones that] came newly up,
        whom your fathers feared not.
Deu 32:18 Of the Rock [that] begot Thee Thou are unmindful,
        and have forgotten God that formed Thee.
Deu 32:19
        And when the LORD saw [it], He abhorred [them],
        because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
Deu 32:20 And He said, I shall hide My face from them,
        I shall see what their end [shall be]:
        for they [are] a very perverse generation,
       (sons in whom [is] no faith).
Deu 32:21 They have moved Me to jealousy with [that which is] not God;
        they have provoked Me to anger with their vanities:
        I shall provoke you to jealousy by [them that are] no nation,
        [and] by a foolish nation I shall anger you. [Rom 10:19]
Deu 32:22
        For a fire is kindled in My anger,
        and shall burn to the lowest Sheol,
        and shall consume the Earth with her increase,
        and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
Deu 32:23 I shall heap evil things upon them;
          I shall spend My arrows upon them.
Deu 32:24 [They shall be] burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat,
         and with bitter destruction:
          I shall also send the teeth of beasts upon them,
        with the poison of serpents of the dust.
Deu 32:25
        The sword outside, and terror inside,
        shall destroy both the young man and the virgin,
        the suckling [also] with the man of grey hairs.
Deu 32:26 I said, I would scatter them into corners,
        I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;
Deu 32:27 were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy,
        lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely,
        lest they should say, Our hand [is] high,
        and the LORD has not done all this.
Deu 32:28
        For they [are] a nation void of counsel,
        neither [is there any] understanding in them.
Deu 32:29 That they were wise, [that] they understood this,
         [that] they would consider their latter end!
Deu 32:30 How should one chase a thousand,
          and two put a myriad to flight,
        except their Rock had sold them,
         and the LORD had shut them up?
Deu 32:31 For their rock [is] not as our Rock,
         even our enemies themselves [being] judges.
Deu 32:32
        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:
Deu 32:33 their wine [is] the poison of monsters,
        and the cruel venom of asps.
Deu 32:34
        [Is] not this laid up in store with Me,
        [and] sealed up among My treasures?
Deu 32:35 Vengeance is Mine, I shall recompense, [says the LORD]; [Rom 12:19 Heb 10:30]
        their foot shall slide in [due] time:
        for the day of their calamity [is] near,
        and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Deu 32:36 For the LORD shall judge His people, [Heb 10:30]
        and have compassion for His servants:
        when He sees that [their] power is gone,
        and [there is] none shut up, or left.
Deu 32:37
        And He shall say, Where [are] their gods,
        [their] rock in whom they trusted,
Deu 32:38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices,
        [and] drank the wine of their drink-offerings?
        Let them rise up and help you,
        [and] be your protection.
Deu 32:39 See now that I, [even] I [AM] He,
         and [there is] no GOD with Me:
        I kill, and I make alive;
        I wound, and I heal:
        neither [is there any] that can deliver out of My hand.
Deu 32:40
        For I lift up My hand to Heaven,
         and say, I live forever.
Deu 32:41 If I shall whet My glittering sword,
        and My hand take hold on judgment;
           I shall render vengeance to My enemies,
         and them that hate Me shall pay.
Deu 32:42 I shall make My arrows drunk with blood,
         and My sword shall devour flesh;
        [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the captives,
         from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
Deu 32:43
        Be rejoiced, ye gentiles, with His people: [Rom 15:10]
        for He shall avenge the blood of His servants,
        and shall render vengeance to His adversaries,
        and shall be merciful to His land, [and] to His people.
        {End song}.
Deu 32:44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, He and Hoshea{Joshua} the son of Nun.
Deu 32:45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;
Deu 32:46 and he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your sons to observe to do, all the words of this Law.
Deu 32:47 For it [is] not a vain thing for you: because it [is] your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land where ye go over the Jordan to possess it.

Deu 32:48 And the LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
Deu 32:49 Ascend this mountain Abarim, [to] Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] opposed to Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan which I give to the sons of Israel for a Possession:
Deu 32:50 and die in the Mount where Thou go, and be gathered to Thy people; as Aaron Thy brother died in Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
Deu 32:51 because ye trespassed against Me among the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin and because ye sanctified Me not in the middle of the sons of Israel.
Deu 32:52 Yet Thou shall see the land before [Thee], but Thou shall not go there to the land which I give the sons of Israel.
Deu 33:1 {The Blessing of Moses}.
        And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses, the man of GOD,
        blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
Deu 33:2 And he said, the LORD came from Sinai,
         and rose up from Seir to them;
        He shined forth from Mount Paran,
        and He came with myriads of Saints:
        from His right hand [went] a fiery Law for them.
Deu 33:3 Yes, 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.
Deu 33:4 Moses commanded us a law;
       the inheritance of the Congregation of Jacob.
Deu 33:5 And he was king in Jeshurun{upright},
       when the heads of the people,
      [and] the tribes of Israel were assembled.

Deu 33:6 Let <Reuben> live, and not die;
         and let his men be [many in] number.
Deu 33:7 And this [is the blessing] of <Judah>: and he said,
         Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah,
         and bring him to his people:
        let his hands be sufficient for him,
        and be Thou a Help [to him] from his enemies.
Deu 33:8
        And of <Levi> he said,
        [Let] Thy Thummim and Thy Urim [be] with Thy Holy [one],
        whom Thou tempted at Massah,
        whom Thou strove at the waters of Meribah;
Deu 33:9 who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him,
        neither did he acknowledge his brethren,
        nor know his own sons:
         for they have observed Thy word,
         and kept Thy Covenant.
Deu 33:10 They shall teach Jacob Thy Judgments,
         and Israel Thy Law;
        they shall put incense before Thee,
         and whole burnt-offering upon Thy Altar.
Deu 33:11 Bless, LORD, His substance,
         and accept the work of His hands:
        smite through the loins of them that rise against him,
         and of them that hate Him, that they rise not again.
Deu 33:12
        Of <Benjamin> he said,
        The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by Him;
        [and] He shall cover him all the day long,
          and he shall dwell between His shoulders.
Deu 33:13
          And of <Joseph> he said,
           Blessed of the LORD [be] his land,
           for the precious things of Heaven, for the dew,
          and for the Abyss that crouches beneath,
Deu 33:14 and for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun,
          and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
Deu 33:15 and for the chief things of the ancient mountains,
          and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
Deu 33:16 and for the precious things of the Earth and fullness of it,
          and [for] the good-will of him that dwelt in the bush;
          let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph,
          and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren!
Deu 33:17 His glory [is like] the firstling of His bull,
          and His horns [are like] the horns of a rhino:
         with them He shall push the people together to the ends of the Earth:
          and they [are] the myriads of Ephraim,
          and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
Deu 33:18
         And of <Zebulun> he said,
         Rejoice, Zebulun, in Thy going out;
         and <Issachar>, in Thy tents.
Deu 33:19 They shall call the people to the mountain;
          there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness:
          for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas,
          and of treasures hid in the sand.
Deu 33:20
         And of <Gad> he said,
         Blessed [be] he who enlarges Gad!
         He dwells as a lion, and tears the arm with the crown of the head.
Deu 33:21 And he provided the first part for himself,
          because there, [in] a portion of the Lawgiver, [was he] seated:
          and he came with the heads of the people.
         He executed the justice of the LORD,
         and His Judgments with Israel.
Deu 33:22
        And of <Dan> he said,
         Dan [is] a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
Deu 33:23 And of <Naphtali> he said,
         Naphtali, satisfied with favour,
         and full with the blessing of the LORD:
         possess Thou the west and the south.
Deu 33:24 And of <Asher> he said,
         [Let] Asher [be] blessed with sons;
         let him be acceptable to his brethren,
     and let him dip his foot in oil.
Deu 33:25 Thy shoes [shall be] iron and bronze;
          and as Thy days, [so shall] Thy strength [be].
Deu 33:26
        [There is] none like to the God of Jeshurun{upright},
        [who] rides upon the Heaven in Thy help,
        and in His excellence on the skies.
Deu 33:27 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].
Deu 33:28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone;
          the fountain of Jacob [shall be] upon a land of grain and new wine,
          also his Heavens shall drop down dew.
Deu 33:29 Blessed [are] Thou, Israel:
          who [is] like to Thee, people saved by the LORD,
          the Shield of Thy help,
         and who [is] the Sword of Thy excellence!
         And Thy enemies shall be found liars to Thee;
         and Thou shall tread upon their high places.
Deu 34:1 {The death of Moses}.
        And Moses went up from the plains of Moab, upon the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that [is] opposed to Jericho: and the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan,
Deu 34:2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the utmost sea,
Deu 34:3 and the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm-trees, to Zoar.
Deu 34:4 And the LORD said to him, This [is] the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,
        saying, I shall give it to Thy seed: I have caused Thee to see [it] with Thy eyes, but Thou shall not go over there.
Deu 34:5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
Deu 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposed to Beth-Peor: but no man knows of his sepulchre to this day.
Deu 34:7 And Moses [was] a hundred twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
Deu 34:8 And the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses were ended.
Deu 34:9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the Spirit of Wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the sons of Israel listened to him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Deu 34:10 And there arose not a prophet afterwards in Israel like to Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
Deu 34:11 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,
Deu 34:12 and in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.

Jos 1:1 [Scroll 06 Joshua-Judges (Joshua)].
        And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD,
        that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
Jos 1:2 Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this the Jordan,
        Thou, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, to the sons of Israel.
Jos 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses.
Jos 1:4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates,
        all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea towards the setting of the sun, shall be your border.
Jos 1:5
        There shall not any man be able to stand before Thee all the days of Thy life: as I have been with Moses, [so] I shall be with Thee: I shall not fail Thee, nor forsake Thee.
Jos 1:6 Be strong and courageous: for to this people shall Thou divide for an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Jos 1:7 Only be Thou strong and very courageous, that Thou may 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 may prosper wherever Thou go. [Deu 5:32]
Jos 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of Thy mouth; but Thou shall meditate in it day and night, that Thou may observe to do according to all [that is] written in it:
        for then Thou shall make Thy way prosperous, and then Thou shall have good success.
Jos 1:9 Have not I commanded Thee? Be strong and courageous; be not afraid,
        neither be Thou dismayed: for the LORD Thy God [is] with Thee wherever Thou go.
Jos 1:10
        Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Jos 1:11 Pass through the camp, and command the people, saying,
        Prepare you provisions; for within three days ye shall pass over this the Jordan,
        to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
Jos 1:12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,
Jos 1:13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying,
        The LORD your God has given you rest, and has given you this land.
Jos 1:14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan;
        but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
Jos 1:15 Until the LORD shall have given your brethren rest, as He [has given] you,
        and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them: then ye shall return to the land of your possession,
        and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side of the Jordan towards the sun-rising.
Jos 1:16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that Thou command us, we shall do, and wherever Thou send us, we shall go.
Jos 1:17 According as we listened to Moses in all [things], so shall we listen to Thee: only the LORD Thy God be with Thee, as He was with Moses.
Jos 1:18 Every one that does rebel against Thy Commandment, and shall not listen to Thy words in all that Thou command him, shall be put to death: only be strong and courageous.

Jos 2:1 {Rahab and the Spies}.
        And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go, view the land, even Jericho.
        And they went, and came into the house of a whore, named Rahab, and lodged there.
Jos 2:2
        And it was told the king of Jericho,
        saying, Behold, there came men in here tonight of the sons of Israel, to search out the country.
Jos 2:3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab,
        saying, Bring forth the men that have come to Thee, who have entered into Thy house:
        for they have come to search out all the country.
Jos 2:4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus,
        There came men to me, but I knew not whence they [were].
Jos 2:5
        And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: where the men went,
        I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
Jos 2:6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
Jos 2:7 And the men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
Jos 2:8 And before they had lain down, she came up to them upon the roof.
Jos 2:9
        And she said to the men, I know that the LORD has given you the land,
        and that your terror has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
Jos 2:10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt;
        and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Jos 2:11 And as soon as we had heard, 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 the Heaven above, and on the Earth beneath.
Jos 2:12 And now, I pray you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye shall also show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true sign:
Jos 2:13 and [that] ye shall save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our souls from death.
Jos 2:14 And the men answered her, Our soul for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we shall deal kindly and truly with Thee.
Jos 2:15
        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.
Jos 2:16 And she said to them, Depart to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days,
        until the pursuers have returned: and afterward ye may go your way.
Jos 2:17 And the men said to her, We [shall be] blameless of this Thy oath which Thou have made us swear.
Jos 2:18 Behold, [when] we come into the land, Thou shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window by which Thou did let us down:
        and Thou shall bring Thy father, and Thy mother, and Thy brethren, and all Thy father's household home to Thee.
Jos 2:19 And it shall be, [that] whoever shall go out of the doors of Thy house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we [shall be] guiltless:
        and whoever shall be with Thee in the house, his blood [shall be] on our head, if [any] hand be upon him.
Jos 2:20 And if Thou shall utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of Thy oath which Thou have made us to swear.
Jos 2:21 And she said, According to your words, so [be] it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Jos 2:22 And they went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days,
        until the pursuers had returned: and the pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way, but found [them] not.
Jos 2:23
        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.
Jos 2:24 And they said to Joshua, Truly the LORD has delivered into our hands all the land;
        for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

Jos 3:1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
Jos 3:2
        And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the camp;
Jos 3:3 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 move from your place, and go after it.
Jos 3:4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near to it,
        that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed [this] way yesterday and before.
Jos 3:5 And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD shall do wonders among you.
Jos 3:6 And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and pass over before the people.
        And they took up the Ark of the Covenant, and went before the people.

Jos 3:7 And the LORD said to Joshua, This day shall I begin to magnify Thee in the sight of all Israel,
        that they may know that as I have been with Moses, [so] I shall be with Thee.
Jos 3:8 And Thou shall command the priests that bear the Ark of the Covenant,
        saying, When ye have come to the brink of the water of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.
Jos 3:9 And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
Jos 3:10 And Joshua said, By this ye shall know that the Living God [is] among you, and [that] He shall 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.
Jos 3:11 Behold, the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord of all the Earth passes over before you into the Jordan.
Jos 3:12 And now take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, of every tribe one man.
Jos 3:13 And it shall be, 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 the Jordan,
        [that] the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in a heap.
Jos 3:14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents to pass over the Jordan,
        and the priests bearing the Ark of the Covenant before the people;
Jos 3:15 and as they that bore the Ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the Ark were dipped in the brim of the water,
        (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
Jos 3:16 that the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up in a heap very far from the city Adam,
        that [is] beside Zaretan; and those that came down towards the sea of the plain,
        the Salt Sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
Jos 3:17 And the priests that bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan,
        and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed quite over the Jordan.

Jos 4:1 And it came to pass, when all the nation had quite passed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
Jos 4:2 Take you twelve men from the people, of every tribe one man,
Jos 4:3 and command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve Stones,
        and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night.
Jos 4:4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the sons of Israel, of every tribe one man:
Jos 4:5 And Joshua said to them, Pass over before the Ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan,
        and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel:
Jos 4:6 that this may be a sign among you, [that] when your sons ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] ye by these stones?
Jos 4:7 Then ye shall answer them, that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD; when it passed over the Jordan,
        the waters of the Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial to the sons of Israel forever.
Jos 4:8 And the sons of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve Stones from the middle of the Jordan, as the LORD has spoken to Joshua,
        according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
Jos 4:9 And Joshua set up twelve Stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the Ark of the Covenant stood: and they are there to this day.
Jos 4:10 For the priests who bore the Ark stood in the middle of the Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak to the people,
        according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
Jos 4:11
        And it came to pass, when all the people had quite passed over, that the Ark of the LORD passed over,
        and the priests in the presence of the people.
Jos 4:12 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the sons of Israel, as Moses directed them:
Jos 4:13 about forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Jos 4:14 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.
Jos 4:15 And the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
Jos 4:16 Command the priests that bear the Ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
Jos 4:17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.
Jos 4:18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD had come up out of the middle of the Jordan,
        [and] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up upon the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place,
        and flowed over all its banks, as [they did] before.
Jos 4:19 And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth [day] of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
Jos 4:20 And those twelve Stones which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
Jos 4:21 And he spoke to the sons of Israel, saying, When your sons shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean] these stones?
Jos 4:22 Then ye shall let your sons know, saying, Israel came over this the Jordan on dry [land].
Jos 4:23 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over,
        as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up from before us, until we had gone over:
Jos 4:24 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 forever.

Jos 5:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites who [were] on the side of the Jordan westward,
        and all the kings of the Canaanites who [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the sons of Israel,
        until we had passed over, that their heart melted; neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.

Jos 5:2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make Thee flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.
Jos 5:3 And Joshua made him flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Jos 5:4 And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males,
        all the men of war died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Jos 5:5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people [that were] born in the wilderness,
        by the way as they came forth from Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised.
Jos 5:6 For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness,
        until all the nation [that were] men of war who came out of Egypt were consumed,
        because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD:
        to whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD swore to their fathers,
        that He would give us, a land that flowing with milk and honey.
Jos 5:7 And their sons, [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised:
        for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
Jos 5:8 And it came to pass, when all the nation, had done circumcising, that they abode in their places in the camp, until they were whole.

Jos 5:9 And the LORD said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you:
        Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
Jos 5:10 And the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal,
        and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
Jos 5:11 And they ate of the old grain of the land on the morrow after the Passover,
        Unleavened [Bread], and parched [grain] in the same day.
Jos 5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old grain of the land;
        neither had the sons of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

Jos 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes,
        and looked, and behold, there stood a man opposed to him with his sword drawn in his hand:
        and Joshua went to him, and said to him, [Are] Thou for us, or for our adversaries?
Jos 5:14 And he said, No; but [as] captain of the Army of the LORD [am] I now come.
        And Joshua fell on his face to the ground, and worshiped, and said to Him, What said my Lord to His servant?
Jos 5:15 And the captain of the LORD's Army said to Joshua, Loose Thy shoe from off Thy foot,
        for the place on which Thou stand is Holy: and Joshua did so.

Jos 6:1 {The Fall of Jericho}.
        Now Jericho was closely shut up because of the sons of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Jos 6:2
        And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into Thy hand Jericho, and its king, [and] the mighty men of valour.
Jos 6:3 And ye shall go around the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go around the city once: thus shall Thou do six days.
Jos 6:4 And seven priests shall bear before the Ark seven shofars of rams' horns:
        and the seventh day ye shall go around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the shofars.
Jos 6:5 And it shall be, that when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the voice of the shofar,
        all the people shall shout with a great shout: and the wall of the city shall fall down flat,
        and the people shall ascend every man straight before him.
Jos 6:6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the Ark of the Covenant,
        and let seven priests bear seven shofars of rams' horns before the Ark of the LORD.
Jos 6:7 And He said to the people, Pass on, and go around the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the Ark of the LORD.
Jos 6:8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people,
        that the seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams' horns passed on before the LORD,
        and blew with the shofars: and the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD followed them.
Jos 6:9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the shofars,
        and the rearward came after the Ark, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the shofars.
Jos 6:10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice,
        neither shall [any] word proceed from your mouth, until the day I bid you shout, then shall ye shout.
Jos 6:11 So the Ark of the LORD went around the city, going about [it] once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Jos 6:12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the Ark of the LORD.
Jos 6:13 And seven priests bearing seven shofars of rams' horns before the Ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the shofars:
        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 shofars.
Jos 6:14 And the second day they went around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
Jos 6:15
        And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day,
        and went around the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they went around the city seven times.
Jos 6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the shofars.
        And Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD has given you the city.
Jos 6:17 And the city shall be accursed, it, and all that [are] in it, to the LORD:
        only Rahab the whore shall live, she and all that [are] with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Jos 6:18 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.
Jos 6:19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, [are] consecrated to the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
Jos 6:20
        So the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the shofars:
        and it came to pass, when the people heard the voice of the shofar,
        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.
Jos 6:21 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.
Jos 6:22 But Joshua had said to the two men that spied out the country, Go into the whore's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore to her.
Jos 6:23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren,
        and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them outside the camp of Israel.
Jos 6:24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was] in it: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the House of the LORD.
Jos 6:25 And Joshua saved Rahab the whore alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Israel,
        until this day; because she hid the messengers which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Jos 6:26
        And Joshua adjured [them] at that time, saying, Cursed [be] the man before the LORD, that rises up and builds this city Jericho:
        he shall lay its foundation in his first-born, and in his youngest [son] shall he set up the gates! [1Ki 16:34]
Jos 6:27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was [noised] throughout all the country.

Jos 7:1 But the sons 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 sons of Israel.
Jos 7:2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Beth-Aven, on the east of Beth-El,
        and spoke to them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
Jos 7:3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up;
        but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai;
        [and] make not all the people to labour there; for they [are but] few.
Jos 7:4 So there went up there of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
Jos 7:5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty six men: for they chased them [from] before the gate to Shebarim,
        and smote them in the going down: therefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
Jos 7:6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the ground upon his face before the Ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
Jos 7:7 And Joshua said, Ah! Lord JeHoVaH, why have Thou at all brought this people over the Jordan,
        to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? That we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan.
Jos 7:8 Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turn their backs before their enemies!
Jos 7:9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], and shall environ us, and cut off our name from the Earth: and what shall Thou do to Thy great name?

Jos 7:10 And the LORD said to Joshua, Arise; Why lie Thou thus upon Thy face?
Jos 7:11 Israel has 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 goods.
Jos 7:12 Therefore the sons of Israel could not stand before their enemies,
        [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were accursed:
        neither shall I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
Jos 7:13 Rise, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus says the LORD,
        God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in the middle of Thee,
        Israel: Thou cannot stand before Thy enemies,
        until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
Jos 7:14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes:
        and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD takes shall come according to their families:
        and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households;
        and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
Jos 7:15 And it shall be, [that] he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire,
        he and all that he has: because he has transgressed the Covenant of the LORD,
        and because he has wrought folly in Israel.
Jos 7:16 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
Jos 7:17 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:
Jos 7:18 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.
Jos 7:19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray Thee, glory to the LORD, God of Israel,
        and make confession to him; and tell me now what Thou have done, hide [it] not from me.
Jos 7:20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD,
        God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
Jos 7:21 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 middle of my tent, and the silver under it.
Jos 7:22 And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
Jos 7:23 And they took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua,
        and to all the sons of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.
Jos 7:24 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 to the valley of Achor.
Jos 7:25 And Joshua said, why have 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.
Jos 7:26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day.
        So the LORD turned from the fierceness of His anger:
        therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor{trouble} to this day.

Jos 8:1 And the LORD said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be Thou dismayed: take all the people of war with Thee, and arise, go up to Ai:
        see, I have given into Thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
Jos 8:2 And Thou shall do to Ai and her king, as Thou did to Jericho and her king:
        only its spoil, and its cattle, shall ye take for a prey to yourselves: lay Thee an ambush for the city behind it.
Jos 8:3 And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai:
        and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.
Jos 8:4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
Jos 8:5 And I, and all the people that [are] with me, shall approach to the city:
        and it shall be, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we shall flee before them,
Jos 8:6 (for they shall come out after us) until we have drawn them from the city;
        for they shall say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we shall flee before them.
Jos 8:7 Then ye shall rise from the ambush and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God shall deliver it into your hand,
Jos 8:8 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.
Jos 8:9 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.
Jos 8:10 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Jos 8:11 And all the people, [even the people] of war that [were] with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city,
        and pitched on the north side of Ai: now [there was] a valley between them and Ai.
Jos 8:12 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.
Jos 8:13 And when they had set the people, all the camp 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 middle of the valley.
Jos 8:14
        And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it], that they hasted and rose early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle,
        he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain: but he knew not that [there were] liers in ambush against him behind the city.
Jos 8:15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Jos 8:16 And all the people that [were] in Ai were called together to pursue them: and they pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Jos 8:17 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 Israel.

Jos 8:18 And the LORD said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that [is] in Thy hand towards Ai;
        for I shall give it into Thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that he [had] in his hand towards the city.
Jos 8:19 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.
Jos 8:20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to Heaven,
        and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
Jos 8:21 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 back and slew the men of Ai.
Jos 8:22 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the middle 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.
Jos 8:23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Jos 8:24
        And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai;
        in the field, in the wilderness in which they chased them, and when they had all fallen on the edge of the sword,
        until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
Jos 8:25 And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both of men and women, [were] twelve thousand, all the men of Ai.
Jos 8:26 For Joshua drew not his hand back with which he stretched out the javelin,
         until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Jos 8:27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey to themselves, according to the word of the LORD which He commanded Joshua.
Jos 8:28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, a desolation to this day.
Jos 8:29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening: and as soon as the sun was down,
        Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the tree,
        and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise upon it a great heap of stones, [that remains] to this day.

Jos 8:30 Then Joshua built an Altar to the LORD, God of Israel in Mount Ebal,
Jos 8:31 as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the sons of Israel, as it has been written in the Book of the Law of Moses,
        an Altar of whole stones, over which no man has lifted up [any] iron: [Exo 20:25 Deu 27:5]
        and they offered upon it burnt-offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
Jos 8:32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the Law of Moses,
        which He wrote in the presence of the sons of Israel.
Jos 8:33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the Ark,
        and on that side, before the priests the Levites, who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD,
        as well the stranger, as he who was born among them; half of them opposed to Mount Gerizim, and half of them opposed to Mount Ebal;
        as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Jos 8:34 And afterward he read all the words of the Law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that has been written in the Book of the Law.
Jos 8:35 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.

Jos 9:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings who [were] on this side the Jordan, in the mountains, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the Great Sea opposed to Lebanon,
        the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite heard [these things],
Jos 9:2 that they assembled themselves, to fight with Joshua, and with Israel with one mouth.
Jos 9:3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
Jos 9:4 they did work craftily, 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;
Jos 9:5 and old shoes and patched upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] mouldy.
Jos 9:6 And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel,
        We have come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.
Jos 9:7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, It may be ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
Jos 9:8 And they said to Joshua, we [are] Thy servants. And Joshua said to them, Who [are] ye? And whence come ye?
Jos 9:9 And they said to him, From a very far country Thy servants have come because of the name of the LORD Thy God: for we have heard the fame of Him, and all that He did in Egypt,
Jos 9:10 and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who [was] at Ashtaroth.
Jos 9:11 Therefore our elders, and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey,
        and go to meet them, and say to them, We [are] your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us:
Jos 9:12 this our bread we took hot [for] our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
Jos 9:13 and these bottles of wine which we filled, [were] new, and behold, they are rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
Jos 9:14 And the men took of their provisions, and asked not [counsel] at the mouth of the LORD.
Jos 9:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the Congregation swore to them.
Jos 9:16
        And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they [were] their neighbours, and [that] they dwelt among them.
Jos 9:17 And the sons of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.
Jos 9:18 And the sons of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the Congregation had sworn to them by the LORD, God of Israel. And all the Congregation murmured against the princes.
Jos 9:19 But all the princes said to all the Congregation, We have sworn to them by the LORD, God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
Jos 9:20 This we shall do to them; we shall even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore to them.
Jos 9:21 And the princes said to them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood, and drawers of water to all the Congregation; as the princes had promised them.
Jos 9:22 And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye deceived us, saying, We [are] very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
Jos 9:23 And now 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.
Jos 9:24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told Thy servants, how the LORD Thy God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you,
        therefore we were greatly afraid for our souls because of you, and have done this thing.
Jos 9:25 And now, behold, we [are] in Thy hand: do as it seems good and right to Thee to do to us,
Jos 9:26 and so did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, that they slew them not.
Jos 9:27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the Congregation, and for the Altar of the LORD, until this day, in the place which He should choose.

Jos 10:1 And it came to pass, when Adoni-zedec 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;
Jos 10:2 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 of it [were] mighty.
Jos 10:3 Therefore Adoni-zedec king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Jos 10:4 Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel.
Jos 10:5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, assembled themselves,
        and went up, they and all their camps, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Jos 10:6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Slack not Thy hand from Thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us:
        for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains, are assembled against us.
Jos 10:7 And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
Jos 10:8
        And the LORD said to Joshua,
        Fear them not: for I have delivered them into Thy hand;
        there shall not a man of them stand before Thee.
Jos 10:9 Joshua therefore came to them suddenly,
        [and] went up from Gilgal all night.
Jos 10:10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel,
        and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon,
        and chased them along the way that goes up to Beth-horon,
        and smote them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.
Jos 10:11
        And it came to pass as they fled from before Israel,
        [and] were in the descent to Beth-horon,
        that the LORD cast down great stones from Heaven,
        upon them to Azekah, and they died:
        [they were] more who died with hail,
        than [they] whom the sons of Israel slew with the sword.
Jos 10:12 {Song of Joshua}.
        Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day,
        when the LORD delivered up the Amorites,
        before the sons of Israel,
        and he said in the sight of Israel,
        Sun, stand Thou still upon Gibeon,
        and Thou Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Jos 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed,
        until the nation had avenged themselves upon their enemies.
        [Is] not this written in the Book of Jasher?
        So the sun stood still in the middle of Heaven,
        and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Jos 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it,
        that the LORD listened to the voice of a man:
        for the LORD fought for Israel.
Jos 10:15
        And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
Jos 10:16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
Jos 10:17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Jos 10:18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:
Jos 10:19 and stay you not, [but] pursue your enemies, and smite the rearmost of them;
        allow them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.
Jos 10:20
        And it came to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter,
        until they were consumed, that the rest [who] remained of them entered into fortified cities.
Jos 10:21 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the sons of Israel.
Jos 10:22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings to me out of the cave.
Jos 10:23 And they did so, and brought those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon.
Jos 10:24
        And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel,
        and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him,
        Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
Jos 10:25 And Joshua said to them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
Jos 10:26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Jos 10:27 And it came to pass at the time of the setting of the sun, [that] Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees,
        and cast them into the cave in which they had been hid, and laid great stones upon the cave's mouth, [which remain] until this very day.
Jos 10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king of it he utterly destroyed,
        them, and all the souls that [were] in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
Jos 10:29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Jos 10:30 And the LORD delivered it also, and its king, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword,
        and all the souls that [were] in it; he let none remain in it; but did to the king of it as he did to the king of Jericho.
Jos 10:31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Jos 10:32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword,
        and all the souls that [were] in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Jos 10:33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Jos 10:34 And from Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
Jos 10:35 and they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword,
        and all the souls that [were] in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Jos 10:36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it:
Jos 10:37 and they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and all the souls that [were] in them; he left none remaining:
        (according to all that he had done to Eglon) but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] in it.
Jos 10:38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
Jos 10:39 and he took it, and its king, and all its cities, and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that [were] in them; he left none remaining:
        as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
Jos 10:40 And Joshua smote all the country of the mountains, and of the south, and of the valley, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining,
        but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, God of Israel commanded.
Jos 10:41 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
Jos 10:42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time; because the LORD, God of Israel fought for Israel.
Jos 10:43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp in Gilgal.

Jos 11:1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard [those things], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king Achshaph,
Jos 11:2 and to the kings that [were] on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Cinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
Jos 11:3 [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.
Jos 11:4 And they went out, they and all their camps with them, many people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very numerous.
Jos 11:5 And when all these kings were met together, they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
Jos 11:6 And the LORD said to Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for Tomorrow about this time shall I deliver them up all slain before Israel: Thou shall hamstringing their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
Jos 11:7
        And Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fell upon them.
Jos 11:8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left to them none remaining.
Jos 11:9 And Joshua did to them as the LORD bade him: he hamstrung their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
Jos 11:10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote its king with the sword: for Hazor before-time was the head of all those kingdoms.
Jos 11:11 And they smote all the souls that [were] in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
Jos 11:12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, Joshua took, and smote them with the edge of the sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
Jos 11:13 But [as for] the cities that stood still in their heap, Israel burned none of them, but Hazor only; [that] did Joshua burn.
Jos 11:14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the sons of Israel took for a prey to themselves: but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
Jos 11:15 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.
Jos 11:16
        And Joshua took all that land, the mountains, 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;
Jos 11:17 from the Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal-gad, in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
Jos 11:18 [For] many days Joshua made war with all those kings.
Jos 11:19 There was not a city that made peace with the sons of Israel, except the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all [other] they took in battle.
Jos 11:20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, [and] that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Jos 11:21 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.
Jos 11:22 There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
Jos 11:23 And Joshua took the whole land, according to all which the LORD has spoken to Moses,
        and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

Jos 12:1 And these [are] the kings of the land, whom the sons of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side of the Jordan, towards the sun-rising, from the river Arnon, to Mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
Jos 12:2 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 to the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the sons of Ammon;
Jos 12:3 and from the plain to the Sea of Cinneroth on the east, and to the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea on the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdoth-pisgah:
Jos 12:4 and the border of Og king of Bashan, [who was] of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Jos 12:5 and reigned in Mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, to the border of the Geshurites, and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
Jos 12:6 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD, and the sons of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it [for] a possession to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
Jos 12:7 And these [are] the kings of the country whom Joshua and the sons of Israel smote on this side of the Jordan on the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon,
        even to the Mount Halak that goes up to Seir; which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel [for] a possession according to their divisions;
Jos 12:8 in the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

Jos 13:1 And Joshua was old [and] advanced in days; and the LORD said to him Thou are old [and] advanced in days, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
Jos 13:2 This [is] the land that yet remains: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
Jos 13:3 from Sihor, which [is] before Egypt, even to the borders of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
Jos 13:4 from the south all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that [is] beside the Sidonians, to Aphek to the borders of the Amorites:
Jos 13:5 and the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon towards the sun-rising, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon to the entering into Hamath.
Jos 13:6 And the inhabitants of the mountain-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, [and] all the Sidonians, them shall I drive out from before the sons of Israel:
        only divide Thou it by lot to the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded Thee.
Jos 13:7 And now divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Jos 13:8 with whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them,
        beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
Jos 13:9
        From Aroer that [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the middle of the river, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;
Jos 13:10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the sons of Ammon;
Jos 13:11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salcah;
Jos 13:12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants. For these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
Jos 13:13 And the sons of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
Jos 13:14 Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD, God of Israel made by fire [are] their inheritance, as He said to them.
Jos 13:15
        And Moses gave to the tribe of the sons of Reuben [inheritance] according to their families.
Jos 13:16 And their border was from Aroer that [is] on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the middle of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;
Jos 13:17 Heshbon, and all her cities that [are] in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
Jos 13:18 and Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
Jos 13:19 and Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the Mount of the valley,
Jos 13:20 and Beth-Peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,
Jos 13:21 and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon,
        whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
Jos 13:22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword, among them that were slain by them.
Jos 13:23 And the border of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan, and its border. This [was] the inheritance of the sons of Reuben after their families, the cities and their villages.
Jos 13:24 And Moses gave [inheritance] to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad according to their families;
Jos 13:25 and their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, to Aroer that [is] before Rabbah;
Jos 13:26 and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;
Jos 13:27 and in the valley, Beth-Aram, and Beth-Nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon,
        the Jordan and [its] border, to the edge of the Sea of Cinneroth, on the other side of the Jordan eastward.
Jos 13:28 This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.
Jos 13:29 And Moses gave [inheritance] to the half tribe of Manasseh: and [this] was [the possession] of the half tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their families.
Jos 13:30 And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which [are] in Bashan, sixty cities:
Jos 13:31 and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [were pertaining] to the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh, to the one half of the sons of Machir according to their families.
Jos 13:32 These [are the countries] which Moses distributed for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan by Jericho eastward.
Jos 13:33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any] inheritance: the LORD, God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as He said to them.

Jos 14:1 And these [are the countries] which the sons 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 sons of Israel distributed for inheritance to them.
Jos 14:2 By lot [was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe.
Jos 14:3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and a half tribe on the other side of the Jordan: but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
Jos 14:4 For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell [in], with their suburbs for their cattle, and for their substance.
Jos 14:5
        As the LORD commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided the land.
Jos 14:6 Then the sons of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said to him,
        Thou know the thing that the LORD said to Moses the man of GOD concerning me and Thee in Kadesh-barnea.
Jos 14:7 Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to explore the land; and I brought him word again as it [was] in my heart.
Jos 14:8 And my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
Jos 14:9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely, the land on which Thy feet have trodden shall be Thy inheritance, and Thy sons' forever; because Thou have wholly followed the LORD my God.
Jos 14:10 And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty five years, even since the LORD spoke this word to Moses,
        while Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, behold, I [am] this day eighty five years old.
Jos 14:11 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.
Jos 14:12 And now give me this mountain, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for Thou heard in that day how the Anakim [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fortified:
        if the LORD [shall be] with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD has spoken.
Jos 14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
Jos 14:14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite to this day; because that he wholly followed the LORD, God of Israel.
Jos 14:15 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.
Jos 15:1 [This] then was the lot of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families; to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin southward [was] the uttermost part of the south border.
Jos 15:2 And their south border was from the shore of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward:
Jos 15:3 and it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended on the south side to Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and turned around to Karkaa:
Jos 15:4 [from thence] it passed towards Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt; and the limits of that border were at the sea: this shall be your south limit.
Jos 15:5 And the east border [was] the Salt Sea, until the end of the Jordan: and [their] border in the north side [was] from the bay of the sea, at the uttermost part of the Jordan:
Jos 15:6 and the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
Jos 15:7 and the border went up towards Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Gilgal, that [is] before the going up to Adummim,
        which [is] on the south side of the river: and the border passed towards the waters of En-shemesh, and the borders of it were at En-rogel:
Jos 15:8 and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom, to the south side of the Jebusite; which [is] Jerusalem:
        and the border went up to the top of the mountain that [lies] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
Jos 15:9 and the border was drawn from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which [is] Kirjath-jearim:
Jos 15:10 and the border turned around from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim (which [is] Chesalon) on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
Jos 15:11 and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the terminations of the border were at the sea.
Jos 15:12 And the west border [was] to the Great Sea, and its coast: this [is] the border of the sons of Judah around, according to their families.
Jos 15:13 And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the sons of Judah,
        according to the Commandment of the LORD to Joshua, Kirjath-Arba [of Arba] the father of Anak, (which [is] Hebron).
Jos 15:14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, born of Anak.
Jos 15:15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher.
Jos 15:16 And Caleb said, he who smites Kirjath-sepher, and takes it, to him I shall give Achsah my daughter for a wife.
Jos 15:17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
Jos 15:18
        And it came to pass, as 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 to her, What would Thou?
Jos 15:19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for Thou have given me a south land, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
Jos 15:20 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.
Jos 15:21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the sons of Judah towards the border of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,
Jos 15:22 and Kinah, and Dimonah Adadah,
Jos 15:23 and Kedesh, and Hazor Ithnan,

Jos 15:44 and Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages:
Jos 15:45 Ekron, with her towns and her villages:
Jos 15:46 from Ekron even to the sea, all that [lay] near Ashdod, with their villages:
Jos 15:47 Ashdod, with her towns and her villages; Gaza, with her towns and her villages, to the river of Egypt, and the Great Sea, and its border:
Jos 15:48 and in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,
Jos 15:49 and Dannah, and Kirjath-sannah, (which [is] Debir),
Jos 15:50 and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,
Jos 15:51 and Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh: eleven cities with their villages:
Jos 15:52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,
Jos 15:53 and Janum, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah,
Jos 15:54 and Humtah, and Kirjath-Arba (which [is] Hebron) and Zior; nine cities with their villages:
Jos 15:55 Maon and Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,
Jos 15:56 and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,
Jos 15:57 Cain and Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:
Jos 15:58 Halhul and Beth-zur, and Gedor,
Jos 15:59 And Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages:
Jos 15:60 Kirjath-baal (which [is] Kirjath-jearim) and Rabbah; two cities with their villages:
Jos 15:61 in the wilderness, Beth-arabah and Middin, and Secacah,
Jos 15:62 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with their villages.
Jos 15:63 As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not expel them: but the Jebusites dwell with the sons of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

Jos 16:1 And the lot of the sons of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Jericho throughout Mount Beth-El,
Jos 16:2 and goes out from Beth-El to Luz, and passes along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
Jos 16:3 and goes down westward to the border of Japhleti, to the border of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the limits of it are at the sea.
Jos 16:4 So the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Jos 16:5 And the border of the sons of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-adar, to Beth-horon the upper:
Jos 16:6 and the border went out towards the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
Jos 16:7 and it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and terminated at the Jordan.
Jos 16:8 The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the limits of it were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families.
Jos 16:9 And the separate cities for the sons of Ephraim [were] among the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
Jos 16:10 And they did not expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.
Jos 17:1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the first-born of Joseph; for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
Jos 17:2 There was also [a lot] for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families; for the sons of Abi-ezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem,
        and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida: these [were] the male sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
Jos 17:3 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.
Jos 17:4 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.
Jos 17:5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side of the Jordan;
Jos 17:6 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
Jos 17:7 And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lies] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
Jos 17:8 Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the sons of Ephraim;
Jos 17:9 and the border descended to the river Kanah, southward of the river. These cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the border of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the limits of it were at the sea:
Jos 17:10 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.
Jos 17:11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns,
        and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, three countries.
Jos 17:12 Yet the sons of Manasseh could not expel [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Jos 17:13
        And it came to pass, when the sons of Israel had become strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly expel them.
Jos 17:14 And the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have Thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD has until now blessed me?
Jos 17:15 And Joshua answered them, If Thou [are] a great people, [then] go up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if Mount Ephraim is too narrow for Thee.
Jos 17:16 And the sons of Joseph said, The mountain is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of Beth-shean and its towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel.
Jos 17:17 And Joshua spoke to the House of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [are] a great people, and have great power: Thou shall not have one lot [only]:
Jos 17:18 but the mountain shall be Thy; for it [is] a wood, and Thou shall cut it down: and the limits of it shall be Thy: for Thou shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [are] strong.

Jos 18:1 And all the Congregation of the sons of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the Tabernacle of the Congregation there: and the land was subdued before them.
Jos 18:2 And there remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Jos 18:3 And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, Until when [are] ye slack to go to possess the land which the LORD, God of your fathers has given you?
Jos 18:4 Select from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I shall 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.
Jos 18:5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their border on the south, and the House of Joseph shall abide in their borders on the north.
Jos 18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [in] seven parts, and bring [the description] here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
Jos 18:7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD [is] their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh,
        have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
Jos 18:8 And the men arose, and departed: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land,
        saying, Go, and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
Jos 18:9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven parts in a book, and came [again], to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
Jos 18:10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.
Jos 18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot came forth between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
Jos 18:12 And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the limits of it were at the wilderness of Beth-Aven.
Jos 18:13 And the border went over from thence towards Luz, to the side of Luz (which [is] Beth-El) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the mountain that [lies] on the south side of the nether Beth-horon.
Jos 18:14 And the border was drawn [thence], and went around the corner of the sea southward, from the mountain that [lies] before Beth-horon southward;
        and the limits of it were at Kirjath-baal (which [is] Kirjath-jearim) a city of the sons of Judah. This [was] the west side.
Jos 18:15 And the south side [was] from the end of Kirjah-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
Jos 18:16 and the border came down to the end of the mountain that [lies] before the valley of the son of Hinnom,
        [and] which [is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom,
        to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel,
Jos 18:17 and was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth towards Geliloth, which [is] opposed to the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
Jos 18:18 and passed along towards the side opposed to Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah:
Jos 18:19 and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the limits of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea at the south end of the Jordan. This [was] the south border.
Jos 18:20 And the Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This [was] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the limits of it around, according to their families.

        This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.
Jos 19:9 Out of the portion of the sons of Judah [was] the inheritance of the sons of Simeon:
        for the part of the sons of Judah was too much for them: therefore the sons of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
Jos 19:10 And the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was to Sarid:
Jos 19:11 and their border went up towards the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that [is] before Jokneam,
Jos 19:12 and turned from Sarid eastward, towards the sun-rising, to the border of Chisloth-tabor, and then goes out to Daberath, and goes up to Japhia,
Jos 19:13 and from thence passes along on the east to Gittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goes out to Remmon-methoar to Neah;

        and to the valley of Jiphthah-El towards the north side of Beth-emek, and Neiel, and goes out to Cabul on the left{north},
Jos 19:28 and Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, to great Sidon;
Jos 19:29 and [then] the border turns to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre;
        and the border turns to Hosah: and the limits of it are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:

Jos 19:31 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

Jos 19:47 And the border of the sons of Dan, went out [too little] for them: therefore the sons 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 in it,
        and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
Jos 19:48 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Jos 19:49 When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their borders, the sons of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:
Jos 19:50 according to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, Timnath-serah in Mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt in it.
Jos 19:51 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 sons 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.

Jos 20:1 And the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
Jos 20:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying,
         Appoint for you cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses:
Jos 20:3 that the slayer that kills [any] soul unawares [and] ignorantly, may flee there: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
Jos 20:4 And when he who does flee to 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 the city,
        they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
Jos 20:5 And if the avenger of blood shall pursue him, then they shall not deliver the slayer into his hand; because he smote his neighbour ignorantly, and had not hated him before.
Jos 20:6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he shall 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 to his own city, and to his own house, to the city whence he fled.
Jos 20:7 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.
Jos 20:8 And on the other side of the 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.
Jos 20:9 These were the cities appointed for all the sons of Israel,
        and for the stranger sojourning among them, that whoever should kill [any] soul unawares might flee there,
        and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the Congregation.

Jos 21:1 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites to Eleazar the priest,
        and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel;
Jos 21:2 and they spoke to 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 their suburbs for our cattle.
Jos 21:3 And the sons of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance,
        at the Commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.
Jos 21:4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the sons of Aaron the priest,

        and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.

        and out of the tribe of the sons of Simeon,
        these cities which are [here] mentioned by name,

        [who were] of the sons of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.
Jos 21:11 And they gave them Kirjath-Arba [of Arba] the father of Anak (which [is] Hebron) in the mountain-[country] of Judah, with its suburbs round it.
Jos 21:12 But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
Jos 21:13 And they gave to the sons of Aaron the priest, Hebron with its suburbs,

Jos 21:20 And the families of the sons of Kohath, the Levites who remained of the sons of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
Jos 21:21 For they gave them Shechem with its suburbs in Mount Ephraim, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with its suburbs,

Jos 21:26 All the cities [were] ten with their suburbs, for the families of the sons of Kohath that remained.
Jos 21:27 And to the sons of Gershon, of the families of the Levites,
        out of the [other] half tribe of Manasseh [they gave] Golan in Bashan with its suburbs,
        [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer, and Beesh-terah with its suburbs; two cities.
Jos 21:28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with its suburbs, Daberath with its suburbs,
Jos 21:29 Jarmuth with its suburbs, En-gannim with its suburbs; four cities.
Jos 21:30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its suburbs, Abdon with its suburbs,
Jos 21:31 Helkath with its suburbs, and Rehob with its suburbs; four cities.
Jos 21:32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its suburbs,
        [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammoth-dor with its suburbs, and Kartan with its suburbs; three cities.
Jos 21:33 All the cities of the Gershonites, according to their families, [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.

Jos 21:37 Kedemoth with its suburbs, and Mephaath with its suburbs; four cities.

Jos 21:39 Heshbon with its suburbs, Jazer with its suburbs; four cities in all.
Jos 21:40 So all the cities for the sons of Merari according to their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were [by] their lot twelve cities.
Jos 21:41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the sons of Israel [were] forty eight cities with their suburbs.
Jos 21:42 These cities were every one with their suburbs around them. Thus [were] all these cities.
Jos 21:43 And the LORD gave to Israel all the land which He swore to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it.
Jos 21:44 And the LORD gave them rest on all sides, according to all that He swore to their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Jos 21:45 There failed not aught of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the House of Israel;
          all came to pass.

Jos 22:1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Jos 22:2 and said to them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed My voice in all that I commanded you:
Jos 22:3 ye have not left your brethren these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the Commandment of the LORD your God.
Jos 22:4 And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them: therefore now return ye,
        and go to your tents, [and] to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.
Jos 22:5 But take diligent heed to perform the Commandment and the Law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you,
        to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His Commandments, and to cleave to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Jos 22:6 And Joshua blessed them and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
Jos 22:7 Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [possession] in Bashan: but to the [other] half of it gave Joshua among their brethren on this side of the Jordan westward.
        And when Joshua sent them away also to their tents, then he blessed them,
Jos 22:8 and he spoke to them, saying, Return with much riches to your tents, and with very many cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with very much clothing: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
Jos 22:9 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the sons of Israel out of Shiloh,
        which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, of which they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Jos 22:10 And when they came to the borders of the Jordan, that [are] in the land of Canaan, the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an Altar by the Jordan, a great Altar to the sight.
Jos 22:11 And the sons of Israel heard it said,
        Behold, the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have built an Altar opposed to the land of Canaan, in the borders of the Jordan, at the passage of the sons of Israel.
Jos 22:12 And when the sons of Israel heard [of it], all the Congregation of the sons of Israel assembled at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
Jos 22:13 And the sons of Israel sent to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
Jos 22:14 and with him ten princes, one prince for one father's house throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one [was] a head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
Jos 22:15 And they came to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
Jos 22:16 Thus says the whole Congregation of the LORD, What trespass [is] this that ye have committed against the God of Israel,
        to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have built you an Altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
Jos 22:17 [Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was the plague in the Congregation of the LORD,
Jos 22:18 but that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? And it shall be, [seeing] ye rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow He shall be wroth with the whole Congregation of Israel.
Jos 22:19 However, if the land of your possession [is] unclean, [then] pass ye over to the land of the possession of the LORD, in which the LORD's Tabernacle dwells, 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.
Jos 22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fall on all the Congregation of Israel? And that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
Jos 22:21 Then the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
Jos 22:22 the LORD, God of GODS, the LORD, God of GODS, He knows, and Israel shall know; if [it is] in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day).
Jos 22:23 That we have built us an Altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer on it burnt-offering, or food-offering, or if to offer peace-offerings on it, let the LORD Himself require [it];
Jos 22:24 and if we have not [rather] done it for fear of [this] thing, saying, In time to come your sons may say to our sons, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD, God of Israel?
Jos 22:25 For the LORD has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you, ye sons of Reuben and sons of Gad;
        ye have no part in the LORD. So shall your sons make our sons cease from fearing the LORD.
Jos 22:26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an Altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice:
Jos 22:27 but [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we may do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings;
        that your sons may not say to our sons in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.
Jos 22:28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they shall [so] say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say,
        Behold the pattern of the Altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt-offerings, nor for sacrifices; but [it is] a witness between us and you.
Jos 22:29 Let it not be that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD,
          to build an Altar for burnt-offerings, for food-offerings, or for sacrifices,
        besides the Altar of the LORD our God that [is] before His Tabernacle.
Jos 22:30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the Congregation, and heads of the thousands of Israel who [were] with him,
        heard the words that the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.
Jos 22:31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the sons 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 sons of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.
Jos 22:32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the sons of Reuben, and from the sons of Gad, from the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and brought them word again.
Jos 22:33 And the thing pleased the sons of Israel; and the sons of Israel blessed GOD, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land in which the sons of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
Jos 22:34 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the Altar: a witness{[Ed]} between us that the LORD [is] GOD.

Jos 23:1 And it came to pass, a long time after that the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on all sides, that Joshua became old [and] advanced in days.
Jos 23:2 And Joshua called for all Israel, [and] for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I [am] old [and] advanced in days:
Jos 23:3 and ye have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God [is] He who has fought for you.
Jos 23:4 Behold, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the Great Sea by sun-set{westward}.
Jos 23:5 And the LORD your God, He shall expel them from before you, and drive them from your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God has spoken to you.
Jos 23:6 Become ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that has been written in the Book of the Law of Moses, that ye turn not aside from it to the right hand or to the left; [Deu 5:32]
Jos 23:7 that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves to them:
Jos 23:8 but cleave to the LORD your God, as ye have done to this day.
Jos 23:9 For the LORD has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but [as for] you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day.
Jos 23:10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, He [it is] that fights for you, as He has promised you.
Jos 23:11 Take therefore good heed to your souls, that ye love the LORD your God.
Jos 23:12 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave to the remnant of these nations, these that remain among you, and shall make a marriage with them, and associate with them, and they with you:
Jos 23:13 know for a certainty that the LORD your God shall no more drive out [any of] these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps to you,
        and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
Jos 23:14 And behold, this day I [Am] going the way of all the Earth; and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls,
        that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God has spoken concerning you:
        all are come to pass to you, [and] not one thing has failed of it.
Jos 23:15 Therefore it shall be, [that] as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God has spoken to you;
        so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until He has destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
Jos 23:16 When ye have transgressed the Covenant of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, and have gone and served other GODS,
        and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which He has given you.

Jos 24:1 And Joshua convened 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.
Jos 24:2 And Joshua said to all the people, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,
        Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the river in old time, Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other GODS.
Jos 24:3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the river, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
Jos 24:4 And I gave to Isaac, Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his sons went down into Egypt.
Jos 24:5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
Jos 24:6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
Jos 24:7 And when they cried to the LORD, He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them;
        and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness many days.
Jos 24:8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of the 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.
Jos 24:9 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:
Jos 24:10 but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
Jos 24:11 And ye went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you,
        the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I delivered them into your hand.
Jos 24:12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not with Thy sword, nor with Thy bow.
Jos 24:13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive-yards which ye planted not do ye eat.
Jos 24:14 And now fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the GODS which your fathers served on the other side of the river, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
Jos 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye shall serve, whether the GODS which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the river,
        or the gods of the Amorites in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we shall serve the LORD.
Jos 24:16 And the people answered and said, Let it not be that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other GODS;
Jos 24:17 for the LORD our God, He [it is] that brought us, and our fathers, out of the land of Egypt, from the House of Bondage,
        and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the people through whom we passed.
Jos 24:18 And the LORD drove out from before us all the people, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land: [therefore] shall we also serve the LORD; for He [is] our God.
Jos 24:19 And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for He [is] a Holy GOD; He [is] a jealous God; He shall not forgive your transgressions, nor your sins.
Jos 24:20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then He shall turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that He has done you good.
Jos 24:21 And the people said to Joshua, No; but we shall serve the LORD.
Jos 24:22 And Joshua said to the people, Ye [are] witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, [We are] witnesses.
Jos 24:23 And now put away ([said he]) the strange gods which [are] among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, God of Israel.
Jos 24:24 And the people said to Joshua, The LORD our God shall we serve, and His voice shall we obey.
Jos 24:25 And Joshua made a Covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Jos 24:26 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.
Jos 24:27 And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a testimony to us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke to us, it shall be therefore a witness to you, lest ye deny your God.
Jos 24:28 And Joshua let the people depart, every man to his inheritance.

Jos 24:29 And it came to pass after these, that Joshua the son of Nun the servant of the LORD died, [being] a hundred ten years old.
Jos 24:30 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which [is] in Mount Ephraim, on the north side of the Mount Gaash.
Jos 24:31 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua. And all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and who had known all the works of the LORD that He had done for Israel.
Jos 24:32 And the bones of Joseph which the sons of Israel brought up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem,
        in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money; and it became the inheritance of the sons of Joseph.
Jos 24:33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died, and they buried him in a hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in Mount Ephraim.

Jdg 1:1 [Scroll 06 Joshua-Judges (Judges)].
        And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel asked the LORD,
        saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first to fight against them?
Jdg 1:2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Jdg 1:3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites;
        and I likewise shall go with Thee into Thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
Jdg 1:4 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.
Jdg 1:5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Jdg 1:6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Jdg 1:7 And Adoni-bezek said, seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table; as I have done, so GOD has requited me.
        And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died;
Jdg 1:8 (now the sons 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).
Jdg 1:9 And afterward the sons of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites,
        that dwelt on the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
Jdg 1:10 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.
Jdg 1:11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher.
Jdg 1:12 And Caleb said, he who smites Kirjath-sepher, and takes it, to him I shall give Achsah my daughter for a wife.
Jdg 1:13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
Jdg 1:14
        And it came to pass, as 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 to her, What will Thou?
Jdg 1:15 And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for Thou have given me a south land; give me also springs of water.
        And Caleb gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
Jdg 1:16 And the sons of the Kenite, Moses' brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the sons of Judah into the wilderness of Judah,
        which [lies] in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
Jdg 1:17 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{devastation}.
Jdg 1:18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
Jdg 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out [the inhabitants of] the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Jdg 1:20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
Jdg 1:21 And the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Jdg 1:22 And the House of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-El: and the LORD [was] with them.
Jdg 1:23 And the House of Joseph sent to explore Beth-El. Now the name of the city before [was] Luz.
Jdg 1:24 And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray Thee, the entrance into the city, and we shall show Thee mercy.
Jdg 1:25
        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.
Jdg 1:26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz: which [is] its name to this day;
Jdg 1:27 neither did Manasseh expel [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and its towns,
        nor Taanach and its towns,
        nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns,
        nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns,
        nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns;
        but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Jdg 1:28 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly expel them;
Jdg 1:29 neither did Ephraim expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them;
Jdg 1:30 neither did Zebulun expel the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries;
Jdg 1:31 neither did Asher expel the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
Jdg 1:32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not expel them;
Jdg 1:33 neither did Naphtali expel the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath;
        but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land:
        but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries to them.
Jdg 1:34 And the Amorites forced the sons of Dan to the mountain: for they would not allow them to come down to the valley:
Jdg 1:35 but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres in Ajalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the House of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
Jdg 1:36 And the border of the Amorites [was] from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

Jdg 2:1 And an Angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you go up out of Egypt,
        and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I shall never break My Covenant with you.
Jdg 2:2 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?
Jdg 2:3 Therefore I also said, I shall not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
Jdg 2:4
        And it came to pass, when the Angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Jdg 2:5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
Jdg 2:6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the sons of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
Jdg 2:7 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.
Jdg 2:8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, [being] a hundred ten years old.
Jdg 2:9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the Mount Ephraim, on the north side of the Mount Gaash.

Jdg 2:10 {The evil generation}.
        And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers:
        and there arose another generation after them,
        which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which He had done for Israel.
Jdg 2:11 And the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and served Baalim:
Jdg 2:12 and they forsook the LORD, God of their fathers,
        who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other GODS,
        of the gods of the peoples that [were] around them,
        and bowed themselves to them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
Jdg 2:13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
Jdg 2:14 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel,
        and He delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them,
        and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around,
        so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
Jdg 2:15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD has spoken,
        and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
Jdg 2:16 And the LORD raised up judges, who delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
Jdg 2:17 And yet they would not listen to their judges, but they played the whore after other GODS,
        and bowed themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in,
        obeying the Commandments of the LORD; [but] they did not so.
Jdg 2:18 And when the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge,
        and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge:
        (for the LORD relented because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and burdened them).
Jdg 2:19
        And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, [that] they returned, and corrupted [themselves] more than their fathers,
        in following other GODS to serve them, and to bow down to them;
        they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
Jdg 2:20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel,
        and He said, Because that this nation has transgressed My Covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to My voice;
Jdg 2:21 I also shall not henceforth drive out from before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
Jdg 2:22 that through them I may prove Israel, whether they shall keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept [it], or not.
Jdg 2:23 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out speedily, neither did He deliver them into the hand of Joshua.

Jdg 3:1 And these [are] the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, all who did not know all the wars of Canaan;
Jdg 3:2 only that the generations of the sons of Israel might know to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it).
Jdg 3:3 [namely], five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
Jdg 3:4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the Commandments of the LORD, which He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Jdg 3:5 And the sons of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Jdg 3:6 and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Jdg 3:7 And the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim, and the Asheroth.
Jdg 3:8 {Othniel}.
        And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim:
        and the sons of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
Jdg 3:9 And when the sons of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the sons of Israel,
        who delivered them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Jdg 3:10 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 Aram-naharaim into his hand;
        and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
Jdg 3:11 And the land had rest forty years; and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

Jdg 3:12 {Ehud}.
        And again the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of the LORD:
        and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the eyes of the LORD.
Jdg 3:13 And he gathered to him the sons of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm-trees.
Jdg 3:14 So the sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Jdg 3:15 But when the sons of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, a man left-handed:
        and by him the sons of Israel sent a present to Eglon king of Moab.
Jdg 3:16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his clothing upon his right thigh.
Jdg 3:17 And he brought the present to Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man.
Jdg 3:18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.
Jdg 3:19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to Thee, king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
Jdg 3:20 And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer-parlour, which he had for himself alone: and Ehud said, I have a message from GOD to Thee. And he arose from [his] seat.
Jdg 3:21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Jdg 3:22 and the haft also entered after the blade: and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
Jdg 3:23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
Jdg 3:24 When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour [were] locked, they said, Surely, he covers his feet in his summer-chamber.
Jdg 3:25 And they tarried until they were ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour, therefore they took a key and opened [them]: and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
Jdg 3:26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.
Jdg 3:27
        And it came to pass, when he had come, that he blew a shofar in the Mount Ephraim, and the sons of Israel went down with him from the Mount, and he before them.
Jdg 3:28 And he said to them, Follow me: for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan towards Moab, and allowed not a man to pass over.
Jdg 3:29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour: and there escaped not a man.
Jdg 3:30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel: and the land had rest eighty years.

Jdg 3:31 {Shamgar}.
        And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.
Jdg 4:1 And again the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of the LORD, after Ehud was dead.
Jdg 4:2 {Deborah}.
        And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan that reigned in Hazor, the captain of whose army [was] Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the gentiles.
Jdg 4:3 And the sons of Israel cried to the LORD; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the sons of Israel.
Jdg 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Jdg 4:5 And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-El in Mount Ephraim: and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Jdg 4:6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-Naphtali, and said to him, has not the LORD, God of Israel commanded,
        [saying], Go, and draw towards Mount Tabor, and take with Thee ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali, and of the sons of Zebulun?
Jdg 4:7 And I shall draw to Thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I shall deliver him into Thy hand.
Jdg 4:8 And Barak said to her, if Thou shall go with me, then I shall go: but if Thou shall not go with me, [then] I shall not go.
Jdg 4:9 And she said, I shall surely go with Thee:
        nevertheless the journey that Thou take shall not be for Thy honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.
        And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Jdg 4:10 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.
Jdg 4:11 Now Heber the Kenite, [who was] of the sons of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the oak of Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh.
Jdg 4:12 And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
Jdg 4:13 And Sisera collected all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that [were] with him, from Harosheth of the gentiles to the river of Kishon.
Jdg 4:14 And Deborah said to Barak, Arise, for this [is] the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into Thy hand:
        has not the LORD gone out before Thee? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Jdg 4:15 And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all [his] chariots, and all [his] camp, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera alighted from [his] chariot, and fled away on his feet.
Jdg 4:16 But Barak pursued the chariots, and the camp, to Harosheth of the gentiles: and all the camp of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; [and] there was not one man left.
Jdg 4:17 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.
Jdg 4:18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
Jdg 4:19 And he said to her, Give me, I pray Thee, a little water to drink; for I [am] thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
Jdg 4:20 And he said to her, stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man does come and inquire of Thee, and say, Is there any man here? That Thou shall say, No.
Jdg 4:21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep, and weary. So he died.
Jdg 4:22 And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I shall show Thee the man whom Thou seek.
        And when he came into her [tent], behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail [was] in his temples.
Jdg 4:23 And GOD subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.
Jdg 4:24 And the hand of the sons of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

Jdg 5:1 {Song of Deborah}.
        (Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying),
Jdg 5:2 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel,
        when the people willingly offered themselves.
Jdg 5:3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes;
        I, [even] I, shall sing to the LORD;
        I shall sing-psalms to the LORD, God of Israel.
Jdg 5:4
        LORD, when Thou went out of Seir,
        when Thou marched out of the field of Edom,
        the Earth trembled, and the Heavens dropped,
        the clouds also dropped water.
Jdg 5:5 The mountains melted from before the LORD,
        that Sinai from before the LORD, God of Israel.
Jdg 5:6
        In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,
        in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied,
         and the travelers walked through by-ways.
Jdg 5:7 [The inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel,
        until that I, Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
Jdg 5:8 They chose new GODS; then [was] war in the gates:
        was there a shield or pike seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Jdg 5:9
        My heart [is] towards the governors of Israel,
        that offered themselves willingly among the people:
        Bless ye the LORD.
Jdg 5:10 Speak, ye that ride on white she-asses,
         ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
Jdg 5:11 [They that are delivered] from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water,
        there shall they rehearse the righteousness of the LORD,
        the righteousness [towards the inhabitants of] his villages in Israel:
        then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
Jdg 5:12
        Awake, awake, Deborah!
        Awake, awake, utter a song!
        Arise, Barak, and lead Thy captivity captive, Thou son of Abinoam!
Jdg 5:13 Then he made him that remains have dominion over the nobles among the people:
        the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Jdg 5:14
        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.
Jdg 5:15 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.
Jdg 5:16 Why stayed Thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks?
        For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great searchings of heart.
Jdg 5:17
        Gilead abode beyond the Jordan:
        and why did Dan remain in ships?
        Asher continued at the shore of the seas, and abode in his breaches.
Jdg 5:18 Zebulun [was] a people [that] risked their souls to death,
     and Naphtali in the high places of the field.
Jdg 5:19
        The kings came [and] fought,
        then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach:
        by the waters of Megiddo;
        they took no gain of money.
Jdg 5:20
        They fought from Heaven;
        the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Jdg 5:21 The river of Kishon swept them away,
        that ancient river, the river Kishon.
        My soul, Thou have trodden down strength.
Jdg 5:22 Then were the horse's hoofs broken by the means of the galloping,
         the galloping of their mighty.
Jdg 5:23
        Curse ye Meroz, said the Angel of the LORD,
        curse ye bitterly its inhabitants;
        because they came not to the help of the LORD,
        to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
Jdg 5:24
        Blessed above women shall be Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite!
        Blessed shall she be above women in the tent!
Jdg 5:25 He asked water, [and] she gave him milk;
        she brought forth curd in a lordly dish.
Jdg 5:26
        She put her hand to the nail,
        and her right hand to the workmen's hammer;
        and with the hammer she smote Sisera,
        she smote off his head,
        when she had pierced and struck through his temples.
Jdg 5:27
        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.
Jdg 5:28
        The mother of Sisera looked out at a window,
        and cried through the lattice,
        Why is his chariot delay in coming?
        Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
Jdg 5:29
        Her wise ladies answered her,
        yes, she returned answer to herself.
Jdg 5:30 Have they not found and divided the prey;
        one or two damsels to every [male] head;
         to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments,
         a spoil of dyed garments embroidered,
         on both sides of the necks of the spoil?
Jdg 5:31 So let all Thy enemies perish, LORD:
        but [let] them that loving Him [be] as the sun when He goes forth in His might.
        {End Song}.
        And the land had rest forty years.

Jdg 6:1 {Gideon}.
        And the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
Jdg 6:2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: [and] because of the Midianites the sons of Israel made them the dens which [are] in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
Jdg 6:3 And [so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the sons of the east, even they came up against them;
Jdg 6:4 and they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the Earth, until Thou come to Gaza; and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
Jdg 6:5 For they came up with their cattle, and their tents, and they came as locusts for multitude; [for] both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
Jdg 6:6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the sons of Israel cried to the LORD.
Jdg 6:7
        And it came to pass, when the sons of Israel cried to the LORD because of the Midianites,
Jdg 6:8 that the LORD sent a prophet to the sons of Israel, who said to them, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,
        I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you out from the House of Bondage;
Jdg 6:9 and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land.
Jdg 6:10 And I said to you, I [AM] the LORD your God;
        fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed My voice.
Jdg 6:11 And there came an Angel of the LORD, and sat under the terebinth which [was] in Ophrah,
        that [pertained] to Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon thrashed wheat by the winepress, to hide [it] from the Midianites.
Jdg 6:12 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD [is] with Thee, Thou mighty man of valour.
Jdg 6:13 And Gideon said to him, O my Lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this befallen us?
        And where [are] all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?
        But now the LORD has forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
Jdg 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this Thy might, and Thou shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent Thee?
Jdg 6:15 And he said to Him, O my Lord, by what means shall I save Israel? Behold, my cattle [is] poor in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in my father's house.
Jdg 6:16 And the LORD said to him, Surely, I shall be with Thee, and Thou shall smite the Midianites as one man.
Jdg 6:17 And he said to Him, If now I have found grace in Thy eyes, then show me a sign that Thou talk with me.
Jdg 6:18 Depart not hence, I pray Thee, until I come to Thee, and bring forth my present, and set [it] before Thee.
        And He said, I shall tarry until Thou come back.
Jdg 6:19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and Unleavened [Bread] of an ephah of flour:
        the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought [it] out to Him under the terebinth, and presented [it].
Jdg 6:20 And the Angel of GOD said to him, Take the flesh and the Unleavened [Bread], and lay [them] upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
Jdg 6:21 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 [Bread];
        and there rose fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the Unleavened [Bread].
        Then the Angel of the LORD departed from his sight.
Jdg 6:22 And Gideon perceived that he was an Angel of the LORD.
        And Gideon said, Ah! Lord JeHoVaH! For because I have seen an Angel of the LORD face to face.
Jdg 6:23 And the LORD said to him, Peace [be] to Thee; fear not: Thou shall not die.
Jdg 6:24 Then Gideon built an Altar there to the LORD, and called it JeHoVaH-shalom{peace}: to this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
Jdg 6:25
        And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Take Thy father's young bull, even the second bull of seven years old, and throw down the Altar of Baal that Thy father has, and cut down the Asherah that [is] by it:
Jdg 6:26 and build an Altar to the LORD Thy God upon the top of this fortress, in the ordered place, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which Thou shall cut down.
Jdg 6:27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD has spoken to him: and [so] it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do [it] by day, that he did [it] by night.
Jdg 6:28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the Altar of Baal was cast down, and the Asherah was cut down that [was] by it, and the second bull was offered upon the Altar [that was] built.
Jdg 6:29 And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.
Jdg 6:30 Then the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out Thy son, that he may die: because he has cast down the Altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that [was] by it.
Jdg 6:31 And Joash said to all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? Will ye save him? He who shall plead for him, let him be put to death while [it is yet] morning: if He [is] a GOD, let him plead for Himself, because [one] has cast down his altar.
Jdg 6:32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he has thrown down his Altar.
Jdg 6:33
        Then all the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and the sons of the east were assembled, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
Jdg 6:34 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a shofar; and Abi-ezer was called after him.
Jdg 6:35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was called after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
Jdg 6:36 And Gideon said to GOD, If Thou shall save Israel by My hand, as Thou have said,
Jdg 6:37 Behold, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; [and] if the dew shall be on the fleece only, and [it] shall [be] dry upon all the ground,
        then shall I know that Thou shall save Israel by My hand, as Thou have said.
Jdg 6:38 And it was so: for he rose early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water.
Jdg 6:39 And Gideon said to GOD, Let not Thy anger be hot against me, and I shall speak but this once: Let me make trial, 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.
Jdg 6:40 And GOD did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
Jdg 7:1
        Then Jerubbaal (who [is] Gideon) and all the people that [were] with him, rose early, and encamped beside the well of Harod:
        so that the camp of the Midianites were on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Jdg 7:2 And the LORD said to Gideon,
        The people that [are] with Thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying, My own hand has saved me.
Jdg 7:3 And now, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever [is] fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from Mount Gilead.
        And there returned of the people twenty two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
Jdg 7:4 And the LORD said to Gideon,
        The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down to the water,
        and I shall try them for Thee there; and it shall be,
        [that] of whom I say to Thee, This shall go with Thee,
        the same shall go with Thee;
        and of whomsoever I say to Thee, This shall not go with Thee,
        the same shall not go!
Jdg 7:5 So he brought down the people to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon,
        Every one that laps of the water with his tongue as a dog laps, him shall Thou set by himself; likewise every one that bows down upon his knees to drink.
Jdg 7:6 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.
Jdg 7:7 And the LORD said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped shall I save you, and deliver the Midianites into Thy hand: and let all the [other] people go every man to his place.
Jdg 7:8 And the people took provision in their hand, and their shofars: and he sent of all [the rest of] Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Jdg 7:9
        And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Arise, go down to the camp; for I have delivered it into Thy hand.
Jdg 7:10 But if Thou fear to go down, go Thou with Phurah Thy servant down to the camp:
Jdg 7:11 And Thou shall hear what they say; and afterward shall Thy hands be strengthened to go down to the camp.
         Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the edge of the armed men that [were] in the camp.
Jdg 7:12 And the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and all the sons of the east, lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels [were] without number, as the sand by the sea-side for multitude.
Jdg 7:13 And when Gideon had come, behold, [there was] a man that told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream,
        and behold, a cake of barley-bread rolled into the camp of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it that the tent lay along.
Jdg 7:14 And his fellow answered and said, This [is] nothing else except the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: [for] into his hand has GOD delivered Midian, and all the camp.
Jdg 7:15 And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD has delivered into your hand the camp of Midian.
Jdg 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men [into] three companies, and gave shofars in the hand of all of them, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
Jdg 7:17 And he said to them, Look on me, and so do ye: and behold, when I come to the edge of the camp, it shall be [that] as I do, so shall ye do.
Jdg 7:18 When I blow with a shofar, I and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the shofars also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon.
Jdg 7:19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came to the edge of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the shofars, and broke the pitchers that [were] in their hands.
Jdg 7:20 And the three companies blew the shofars, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the shofars in their right hands to blow [with]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
Jdg 7:21 And they stood every man in his place around the camp; and all the camp ran, and cried, and fled.
Jdg 7:22 And the three hundred blew the shofars, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the camp. And the camp fled to Beth-shittah in Zereroth, [and] to the border of Abel-meholah, to Tabbath.
Jdg 7:23
        And the men of Israel assembled out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.
Jdg 7:24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all Mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites,
        and take before them the waters to Beth-barah and the Jordan.
        Then all the men of Ephraim assembled, and took the waters to Beth-barah and the Jordan.
Jdg 7:25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb,
        and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.
Jdg 8:1 And the men of Ephraim said to him, Why have Thou treated us thus, that Thou called us not when Thou went to fight with the Midianites? And they chid with him sharply.
Jdg 8:2 And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer?
Jdg 8:3 GOD has delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then, when he had said that, their anger towards him abated.
Jdg 8:4
        And Gideon came to the Jordan, [and] passed over, he, and the three hundred men that [were] with him, faint, yet pursuing [them].
Jdg 8:5 And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow my steps: for they [are] faint, and I [am] pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
Jdg 8:6 And the princes of Succoth said, [Are] the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in Thy hand, that we should give bread to Thy army?
Jdg 8:7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into My hand, then I shall tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
Jdg 8:8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke to them thus: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
Jdg 8:9 And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come back in peace, I shall break down this tower.
Jdg 8:10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna [were] in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand [men], all that were left of all the camps of the sons of the east: for there fell a hundred twenty thousand men that drew sword.
Jdg 8:11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the camp: for the camp was secure.
Jdg 8:12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the camp.
Jdg 8:13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun [had risen],
Jdg 8:14 and caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described to him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, seventy seven men.
Jdg 8:15 And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye upbraided me, saying, [Are] the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in Thy hand, that we should give bread to Thy men [that are] weary?
Jdg 8:16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness, and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
Jdg 8:17 And he beat down the Tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
Jdg 8:18 Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men [were they] whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As Thou [are], so [were] they; each one resembled the sons of a king.
Jdg 8:19 And he said, They [were] my brethren, the sons of my mother: [as] the LORD lives, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
Jdg 8:20 And he said to Jether his first-born, Arise, [and] slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he [was] yet a youth.
Jdg 8:21 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.
Jdg 8:22
        Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule Thou over us, both Thou, and Thy son, and Thy grandson also: for Thou have delivered us from the hand of Midian.
Jdg 8:23 And Gideon said to them, I shall not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
Jdg 8:24 And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the rings of his prey. (For they had rings of gold, because they [were] Ishmaelites).
Jdg 8:25 And they answered, We shall willingly give [them]. And they spread a garment, and cast into it every man the rings of his prey.
Jdg 8:26 And the weight of the rings of gold that he requested, was a thousand seven hundred [shekels] of gold;
        besides ornaments, and collars, and purple clothing that [was] on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that [were] about their camels' necks.
Jdg 8:27 And Gideon made of it an ephod, and put it in his city, in Ophrah: and all Israel went there astray after it: which thing became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
Jdg 8:28 Thus was Midian subdued before the sons of Israel, so that they raised their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
Jdg 8:29
        And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
Jdg 8:30 And Gideon had seventy sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
Jdg 8:31 And his concubine that [was] in Shechem, she also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
Jdg 8:32 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 Abi-ezrites.
Jdg 8:33
        And it came to pass as soon as Gideon was dead, that the sons of Israel turned again, and went astray after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their GOD.
Jdg 8:34 And the sons of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side:
Jdg 8:35 neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, [namely] Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
Jdg 9:1 {Jotham and Abimelech}.
        And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's brethren, and communed with them,
        and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Jdg 9:2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem,
        Which [is] better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, [which are] seventy men,
        should reign over you, or that one should reign over you?
        Remember also that I [am] your bone and your flesh.
Jdg 9:3 And his mother's brethren spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words:
        and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, he [is] our brother.
Jdg 9:4 And they gave him seventy [pieces] of silver out of the house of Baal-berith,
        with which Abimelech hired vain and reckless men, who followed him.
Jdg 9:5 And he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal,
        [being] seventy men, upon one stone;
        but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
Jdg 9:6 And all the men of Shechem assembled, and all the House of Millo,
        and went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar that [was] in Shechem.
Jdg 9:7 And when they told [it] to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of Mount Gerizim,
        and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Listen to me, ye men of Shechem, that GOD may listen to you.
Jdg 9:8 {Parable of the trees}.
        The trees went forth [on a time] to anoint a king over them;
        and they said to the olive-tree, Reign Thou over us.
Jdg 9:9 But the olive-tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness,
        with which by me they honour GOD and man,
        and go to be promoted over the trees?
Jdg 9:10 And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come Thou, [and] reign over us.
Jdg 9:11 But the fig-tree said to them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit,
        and go to be promoted over the trees?
Jdg 9:12 Then said the trees to the vine, Come Thou, [and] reign over us.
Jdg 9:13 And the vine said to them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheers GOD and man,
        and go to be promoted over the trees?
Jdg 9:14 Then said all the trees to the bramble, Come Thou, [and] reign over us.
Jdg 9:15 And the bramble said to the trees,
        If in truth ye anoint me king over you, [then] come [and] put your trust in my shadow:
        and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Jdg 9:16
        And now, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king,
        and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands:
Jdg 9:17 (for my father fought for you, and adventured his soul far, and delivered you from the hand of Midian:
Jdg 9:18 and ye have risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy men,
        upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maid-servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he [is] your brother).
Jdg 9:19 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:
Jdg 9:20 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.
Jdg 9:21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
Jdg 9:22
        When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
Jdg 9:23 then GOD sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem;
        and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
Jdg 9:24 that the cruelty [done] to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother who slew them,
        and upon the men of Shechem who aided him in the killing of his brethren.
Jdg 9:25 And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him on the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
Jdg 9:26 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.
Jdg 9:27 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trod [the grapes], and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
Jdg 9:28 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?
Jdg 9:29 And would that this people were under My hand! Then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase Thy army, and come out.
Jdg 9:30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
Jdg 9:31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech privately, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed, and his brethren, are come to Shechem; and behold, they fortify the city against Thee.
Jdg 9:32 And now rise by night, Thou, and the people that [are] with Thee, and lie in wait in the field:
Jdg 9:33 and it shall be, [that] in the morning, as soon as the sun has risen, Thou shall rise early, and attack the city:
        and behold, [when] he and the people that [are] with him come out against Thee, then may Thou do to them as Thou shall find occasion.
Jdg 9:34 And Abimelech rose, and all the people that [were] with him, by night, and they laid in wait against Shechem in four companies.
Jdg 9:35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose, and the people that [were] with him, from lying in wait.
Jdg 9:36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, Thou see the shadow of the mountains as [if they were] men.
Jdg 9:37 And Gaal spoke again, and said, Behold, there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the oak of Meonenim.
Jdg 9:38 Then said Zebul to him, Where [is] now Thy mouth, with which Thou said, Who [is] Abimelech, that we should serve him?
        [Are] not these the people that Thou have despised? Go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
Jdg 9:39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Jdg 9:40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown [and] wounded, to the entrance of the gate.
Jdg 9:41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
Jdg 9:42
        And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
Jdg 9:43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid in wait in the field, and looked, and behold, the people [had] come out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.
Jdg 9:44 And Abimelech, and the company that [was] with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city:
        and the two [other] companies ran upon all [the people] that [were] in the fields, and slew them.
Jdg 9:45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that [were] in it, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
Jdg 9:46 And when all the men of the Tower of Shechem heard [that], they entered into a hold of the house of the god Berith.
Jdg 9:47 And it was told to Abimelech, that all the men of the Tower of Shechem were assembled.
Jdg 9:48 And Abimelech ascended Mount Zalmon, he and all the people that [were] with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees,
        and took it, and laid [it] on his shoulder, and said to the people that [were] with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, [and] do as I [have done].
Jdg 9:49 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.
Jdg 9:50 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
Jdg 9:51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and there fled all the men and women,
        and all they of the city, and shut [it] after them, and ascended to the roof of the tower.
Jdg 9:52 And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and came near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Jdg 9:53 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and broke his skull.
Jdg 9:54 Then he called hastily to the young man his armour-bearer, and said to him, Draw Thy sword, and slay me,
        that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Jdg 9:55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place.
Jdg 9:56 And GOD rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
Jdg 9:57 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.

Jdg 10:1 {Tola}. And after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo,
        a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in Mount Ephraim.
Jdg 10:2 And he judged Israel twenty three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

Jdg 10:3 {Jair}. And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty two years.
Jdg 10:4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities,
        which are called Havoth-Jair to this day, which [are] in the land of Gilead.
Jdg 10:5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.

Jdg 10:6 And again the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of the LORD,
        and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Sidon,
        and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines,
        and forsook the LORD, and served not Him.
Jdg 10:7 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 sons of Ammon.
Jdg 10:8 And that year they harassed and oppressed the sons of Israel eighteen years, all the sons of Israel that [were] on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which [is] in Gilead.
Jdg 10:9 And the sons of Ammon passed over the Jordan, to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the House of Ephraim; so that Israel was greatly distressed.
Jdg 10:10 And the sons of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, We have sinned against Thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
Jdg 10:11 And the LORD said to the sons of Israel, [Did] not [I deliver you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Jdg 10:12 The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed you; and ye cried to Me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
Jdg 10:13 Yet ye have forsaken Me, and served other GODS: therefore I shall deliver you no more.
Jdg 10:14 Go and cry to the GODS which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
Jdg 10:15 And the sons of Israel said to the LORD, We have sinned: do Thou to us whatever seems good to Thee; deliver us only, we pray Thee, this day.
Jdg 10:16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
Jdg 10:17 Then the sons of Ammon were assembled, and encamped in Gilead.
        And the sons of Israel assembled themselves, and encamped in Mizpeh.
Jdg 10:18 And the people [and] princes of Gilead said one to another, What man [is he] that shall begin to fight against the sons of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Jdg 11:1 {Jephthah}.
        Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he [was] the son of a whore: and Gilead begot Jephthah.
Jdg 11:2 And Gilead's wife bore him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said to him,
        Thou shall not inherit in our father's house; for Thou [are] the son of another woman.
Jdg 11:3 Then Jephthah fled from the face of his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and [they] went out with him.
Jdg 11:4
        And it came to pass after [some] days, that the sons of Ammon made war against Israel.
Jdg 11:5 And it was so, that when the sons of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
Jdg 11:6 and they said to Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight against the sons of Ammon.
Jdg 11:7 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did ye not hate me, and expel me from my father's house; and why have ye come to me now when ye are in distress?
Jdg 11:8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we turn back to Thee now, that Thou may go with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon,
        and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Jdg 11:9 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
Jdg 11:10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be a witness between us, if we do not so according to Thy words.
Jdg 11:11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
Jdg 11:12 And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, What have Thou to do with me, that Thou have come against me to fight in my land?
Jdg 11:13 And the king of the sons of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land,
        when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to the Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] again peaceably.
Jdg 11:14 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon:
Jdg 11:15 and said to him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon:
Jdg 11:16 but when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
Jdg 11:17 then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray Thee, pass through Thy land:
        but the king of Edom would not listen [to it]. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab; but he would not [consent]. And Israel abode in Kadesh.
Jdg 11:18 Then they went along through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the sun-rising 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.
Jdg 11:19 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray Thee, through Thy land to my place.
Jdg 11:20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon collected all his people, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Jdg 11:21 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.
Jdg 11:22 And they possessed all the borders of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
Jdg 11:23 So now the LORD, God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel, and should Thou possess it?
Jdg 11:24 Will not Thou possess that which Chemosh Thy god gives Thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them shall we possess.
Jdg 11:25 And now [are] Thou anything better than Balak the son of Zippor king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
Jdg 11:26 while Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that [are] along by the borders of Arnon, three hundred years? Why therefore did ye not recover [them] within that time?
Jdg 11:27 Therefore I have not sinned against Thee, but Thou do me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.
Jdg 11:28 But the king of the sons of Ammon listened not to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Jdg 11:29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [to] the sons of Ammon.
Jdg 11:30 And Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If Thou shall without fail deliver the sons of Ammon into my hands,
Jdg 11:31 then it shall be, that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I shall offer it for a burnt-offering.
Jdg 11:32 So Jephthah passed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
Jdg 11:33 And he smote them from Aroer even until Thou come to Minnith, twenty cities, and to the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter.
        And the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.
Jdg 11:34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh to his house, and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances:
        and she [was his] only-begotten; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
Jdg 11:35
        And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes,
        and said, Ah! My daughter! Thou have brought me very low, and Thou are one of them that trouble me:
        for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot go back.
Jdg 11:36 And she said to him, my father, [if] Thou have opened Thy mouth to the LORD,
        do to me according to that which has proceeded out of Thy mouth;
        forasmuch as the LORD has taken vengeance for Thee of Thy enemies, of the sons of Ammon.
Jdg 11:37 And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: Let me alone two months,
        that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
Jdg 11:38 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.
Jdg 11:39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father,
        who did with her [according] to his vow which he had vowed:
        and she knew{intercourse} no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
Jdg 11:40 [from] time to time{yearly} the daughters of Israel went to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
Jdg 12:1 And the men of Ephraim assembled, and went northward, and said to Jephthah,
        Why did Thou pass over to fight against the sons of Ammon, and did not call us to go with Thee; we shall burn Thy house upon Thee with fire.
Jdg 12:2 And Jephthah said to them, I and my people have been at great strife against the sons of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
Jdg 12:3 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my soul in my hands, and passed opposed to the sons of Ammon,
        and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have ye come up to me this day, to fight against me?
Jdg 12:4 And Jephthah collected 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.
Jdg 12:5 And the Gileadites took the passages of the Jordan before the Ephraimites:
        and it was [so], that when those Ephraimites who had escaped,
        said, Let me go over;
        that the men of Gilead said to him,
        [Are] Thou an Ephraimite?
        If he said, No;
Jdg 12:6 then said they to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth:
        for he could not frame to pronounce [it] right.
        Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of the Jordan.
        And there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty two thousand.
Jdg 12:7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years: then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.

Jdg 12:8 {Ibzan}. And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
Jdg 12:9 And he had thirty sons and thirty daughters [whom] he sent abroad,
        and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons: and he judged Israel seven years.
Jdg 12:10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lehem.

Jdg 12:11 {Elon}. And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel, and he judged Israel ten years.
Jdg 12:12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Ajalon in the country of Zebulun.
Jdg 12:13 {Abdon}.
        And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
Jdg 12:14 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
Jdg 12:15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the Mount of the Amalekites.

Jdg 13:1 {The birth of Samson}.
        And again the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Jdg 13:2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name [was] Manoah; and his wife [was] barren, and bore not.
Jdg 13:3 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold, now, Thou [are] barren, and bear not: but Thou shall conceive, and bear a son.
Jdg 13:4 And now beware, I pray Thee, and drink not wine, nor shekar{strong drink}, and eat not any unclean [thing]:
Jdg 13:5 for behold, Thou shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite to GOD from the womb:
        and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.
Jdg 13:6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of GOD came to me, and His countenance [was] like the countenance of an Angel of GOD,
        very awesome: but I asked Him not whence He [was], neither did he tell me His name.
Jdg 13:7 But he said to me, Behold, Thou shall conceive, and bear a son;
        and now drink no wine nor shekar{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.
Jdg 13:8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said,
        O my Lord, let the man of GOD, whom Thou did send come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child that shall be born.
Jdg 13:9 And GOD listened to the voice of Manoah; and the Angel of GOD came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband [was] not with her.
Jdg 13:10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man has appeared to me, that came to me the [other] day.
Jdg 13:11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, [Are] Thou the man that did speak to the woman? And he said, I [AM].
Jdg 13:12 And Manoah said, Now let Thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and [how] shall we do to him?
Jdg 13:13 And the Angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman, let her beware.
Jdg 13:14 She may not eat of anything that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or shekar{strong drink}, nor eat any unclean [thing];
        all that I commanded her let her observe.
Jdg 13:15 And Manoah said to the Angel of the LORD, I pray Thee, let us detain Thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for Thee.
Jdg 13:16 And the Angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Though Thou should detain Me, I shall not eat of Thy bread: and if Thou shall offer a burnt-offering, Thou must offer it to the LORD.
        For Manoah knew not that He [was] an Angel of the LORD.
Jdg 13:17 And Manoah said to the Angel of the LORD, What [is] Thy name, that when Thy sayings come to pass, we may do Thee honour?
Jdg 13:18 And the Angel of the LORD said to him, why ask Thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] wonderful?
Jdg 13:19 So Manoah took a kid, with a food-offering, and offered [it] upon a Rock to the LORD; and [the Angel] did wonderfully, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Jdg 13:20
        And it came to pass, when the flame ascended towards Heaven from off the Altar, that the Angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the Altar.
        And Manoah and his wife looked on, and fell on their faces to the ground.
Jdg 13:21 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.
Jdg 13:22 And Manoah said to his wife, Dying, we shall die, because we have seen GOD.
Jdg 13:23 But his wife said to him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, He would not received a burnt-offering and a food-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.
Jdg 13:24
        And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Jdg 13:25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

Jdg 14:1 {Samson's Philistine wife}.
        And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
Jdg 14:2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said,
        I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me for a wife.
Jdg 14:3 Then his father and his mother said to him,
        [Is there] not a woman among the daughters of Thy brethren, or among all my people,
        that Thou go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?
        And Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.
Jdg 14:4 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.
Jdg 14:5 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.
Jdg 14:6 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.
Jdg 14:7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Jdg 14:8 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 body of the lion.
Jdg 14:9 And he took of it in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother,
        and he gave them, and they ate: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
Jdg 14:10 So his father went down to the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
Jdg 14:11
        And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Jdg 14:12 And Samson said to them, I shall now propose a riddle to you:
        if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast,
        and find [it] out, then I shall give you thirty sheets and thirty changes of garments:
Jdg 14:13 but if ye cannot declare [it] to me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty changes of garments.
        And they said to him, propose Thy riddle, that we may hear it.
Jdg 14:14 And he said to them,
         Out of the eater came forth food,
     and out of the strong came forth sweetness.
        And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
Jdg 14:15
        And it came to pass on the seventh day,
        that they said to Samson's wife, Entice Thy husband, that he may explain to us the riddle,
        lest we burn Thee and Thy father's house with fire:
        have ye called us to take what we possess?
        [Is it] not [so]?
Jdg 14:16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said,
        Thou do but hate me, and love me not: Thou have proposed the riddle to the sons of my people,
        and have not told [it] to me.
        And he said to her, Behold, I have not told [it] to my father nor to my mother, and shall I tell [it] to Thee?
Jdg 14:17 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 urged him: and she told the riddle to the sons of her people.
Jdg 14:18 And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down,
        What [is] sweeter than honey? And what [is] stronger than a lion?
        And he said to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
Jdg 14:19 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 changes of garments to them who expounded the riddle.
        And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
Jdg 14:20 And Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.

Jdg 15:1 {Samson fight against the Philistines}.
        And it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat-harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid;
        and he said, I shall go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not allow him to go in.
Jdg 15:2 And her father said, I truly thought that Thou had 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.
Jdg 15:3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
Jdg 15:4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took fire-brands,
        and turned tail to tail, and put a fire-brand in the middle between two tails.
Jdg 15:5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let [them] go into the standing-grain of the Philistines,
        and burnt up both the shocks and also the standing-grain, with the vineyards [and] olives.
Jdg 15:6 Then the Philistines said, Who has 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.
Jdg 15:7 And Samson said to them, Though ye have done this, yet shall I be avenged of you, and after that I shall cease.
Jdg 15:8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down, and dwelt in the cleft of the rock Etam.
Jdg 15:9 Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Jdg 15:10 And the men of Judah said, Why have ye come up against us?
        And they answered, We have come to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.
Jdg 15:11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the cleft of the rock Etam, and said to Samson,
        Know Thou not that the Philistines [are] rulers over us? What [is] this [that] Thou have done to us?
        And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
Jdg 15:12 And they said to him, We have come down to bind Thee, that we may deliver Thee into the hand of the Philistines.
        And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that ye shall not fall upon me yourselves.
Jdg 15:13 And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we shall bind Thee fast, and deliver Thee into their hand:
        but surely we shall not kill Thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Jdg 15:14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him,
        and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
Jdg 15:15 And he found a fresh jaw-bone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men with it.
Jdg 15:16 And Samson said,
           With the jaw-bone of an ass, heaps upon heaps.
           With the jaw-bone of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
Jdg 15:17
        And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jaw-bone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-Lehi.
Jdg 15:18 And he was very thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said,
        Thou have given this great deliverance by the hand of Thy servant: and now shall I die by thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Jdg 15:19 But GOD cleaved a hollow place that was in Lehi, and there came water out of it; and when he had drank, his spirit came again, and he revived.
        Therefore he called the name of it En-hakkore{Fountain of the Praying}, which [is] in Lehi to this day.
Jdg 15:20 And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, twenty years.

Jdg 16:1 {Samson and Delilah}.
        Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there a whore, and went in to her.
Jdg 16:2 [It was told] the Gazathites, saying, Samson is come here. And they surrounded him, and laid in wait for him all night in the gate of the city,
        and were quiet all the night, saying, Until the light of the morning, then we shall kill him.
Jdg 16:3 And Samson lay until 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 mountain that [is] before Hebron.
Jdg 16:4 And it came to pass after this, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah.
Jdg 16:5 And the lords of the Philistines came to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see in what his great strength [lies], and by what [means] we may prevail against him,
        that we may bind him to afflict him: and we shall give Thee every one of us thousand hundred [pieces] of silver.
Jdg 16:6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray Thee, in what Thy great strength [lies], and with what Thou may be bound to afflict Thee.
Jdg 16:7 And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings, that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Jdg 16:8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought to her seven fresh bowstrings, which had not been dried, and she bound him with them;
Jdg 16:9 (now [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber). And she said to him,
        The Philistines [are] upon Thee, Samson. And he broke the bowstrings as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
Jdg 16:10 And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, Thou have mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray Thee, with what Thou may be bound.
Jdg 16:11 And he said to her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were used, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Jdg 16:12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him,
        The Philistines [are] upon Thee, Samson. (And [there were] liers in wait abiding in the chamber). And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.
Jdg 16:13 And Delilah said to Samson, until now Thou have mocked me, and told me lies: tell me with what Thou may be bound. And he said to her, If Thou weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
Jdg 16:14 And she fastened [it] with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines [are] upon Thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
Jdg 16:15 And she said to him, How can Thou say, I love Thee, when Thy heart [is] not with me? Thou have mocked me these three times, and have not told me in what Thy great strength [lies].
Jdg 16:16
        And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, [so] that his soul was vexed to death;
Jdg 16:17 that he told her all his heart, and said to her, There has not come a razor upon my head; for I [have been] a Nazarite to GOD from mother's womb:
        if I be shaved, then my strength shall go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any [other] man.
Jdg 16:18 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 has disclosed to me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought money in their hand.
Jdg 16:19 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.
Jdg 16:20 And she said, the Philistines [are] upon Thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I shall go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he knew not that the LORD had departed from him.
Jdg 16:21 But the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with copper fetters; and he did grind in the prison house.
Jdg 16:22 But the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
Jdg 16:23 Then the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
Jdg 16:24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country; who slew many of us.
Jdg 16:25
        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.
Jdg 16:26 And Samson said to the lad that held him by the hand, allow me that I may feel the pillars upon which the house stands, that I may lean upon them.
Jdg 16:27 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.
Jdg 16:28 And Samson called to the LORD, and said, Lord JeHoVaH, remember me, I pray Thee, and strengthen me, I pray Thee, only this once, GOD, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
Jdg 16:29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was supported, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
Jdg 16:30 And Samson said, Let my soul die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] in it.
        So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew in his life.
Jdg 16:31 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 burying-place of Manoah his father.
        And he judged Israel twenty years.

Jdg 17:1 {Micah's Idolatry}.
        And there was a man of Mount Ephraim, whose name [was] Micah.
Jdg 17:2 And he said to his mother, The thousand hundred [shekels] of silver that were taken from Thee, about which Thou did curse, and speak of also in my ears,
        behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed [be Thou] of the LORD, my son!
Jdg 17:3 And when he had restored the thousand hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son,
        to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I shall restore it to Thee.
Jdg 17:4 Yet he restored the money to his mother; and his mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver,
        and gave them to the founder, who made of it a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
Jdg 17:5 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.
Jdg 17:6 In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did right in his own eyes.
Jdg 17:7 And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-Judah of the family of Judah, who [was] a Levite, and he sojourned there.
Jdg 17:8 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.
Jdg 17:9 And Micah said to him, Whence come Thou? And he said to him, I [am] a Levite of Beth-lehem-Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].
Jdg 17:10 And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I shall give Thee ten [shekels] of silver by the days, and a suit of apparel, and Thy sustenance. So the Levite went in.
Jdg 17:11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Jdg 17:12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Jdg 17:13 And Micah said, Now I know that the LORD shall do me good, seeing I have a Levite for my priest.
Jdg 18:1
        In those days [there was] no king in Israel.
        And in those days the tribe of the Danites sought for themselves an inheritance to dwell in;
        for to that day [all their] inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
Jdg 18:2 And the sons of Dan sent of their family five men from their borders, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to explore the land,
        and to search it; and they said to them, Go, search the land: who when they came to Mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
Jdg 18:3 When they [were] by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in there, and said to him,
        Who brought Thee here? And what make Thou in this [place]? And what have Thou here?
Jdg 18:4 And he said to them, Thus and thus deals Micah with me, and has hired me, and I [am] his priest.
Jdg 18:5 And they said to him, Ask counsel, we pray Thee, of GOD, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
Jdg 18:6 And the priest said to them, Go in peace: before the LORD [is] your way in which ye go.
Jdg 18:7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that [were] in it, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Sidonians,
        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 Sidonians, and had no business with [any] man.
Jdg 18:8 And they came to their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said to them, What [say] ye?
Jdg 18:9 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.
Jdg 18:10 When ye go, ye shall come to a people secure, and to a large land: for GOD has given it into your hands; a place where [there] is no want of any thing that [is] on the Earth.
Jdg 18:11 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.
Jdg 18:12 And they went up, and encamped in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: therefore they called that place Mahaneh-Dan to this day: behold, [it is] behind Kirjath-jearim.
Jdg 18:13 And they passed thence to Mount Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
Jdg 18:14 Then answered the five men that went to explore the country of Laish, and said to their brethren,
        Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image?
        And now consider what ye have to do.
Jdg 18:15 And they turned to there, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, to the house of Micah, and saluted him.
Jdg 18:16 And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, who [were] of the sons of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
Jdg 18:17 And the five men that went to explore the land went up, [and] came in there, [and] took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image:
        and the priest stood in the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men [that were] appointed with weapons of war.
Jdg 18:18 And these went into Micah's house, and brought the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest to them, What do ye?
Jdg 18:19 And they said to him, Hold Thy peace, lay Thy hand upon Thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest:
        [Is it] better for Thee to be a priest to the house of one man, or that Thou should be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?
Jdg 18:20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the middle of the people.
Jdg 18:21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones, and the cattle, and the furniture before them.
Jdg 18:22 When they were far off from the house of Micah, the men that [were] in the houses near to Micah's house were collected, and overtook the sons of Dan.
Jdg 18:23 And they cried to the sons of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said to Micah, What ails Thee, that Thou come with such a company?
Jdg 18:24 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye have gone away:
          and what have I more? And what [is] this [that] ye say to me, What ails Thee?
Jdg 18:25 And the sons of Dan said to him, Let not Thy voice be heard among us, lest we, men bitter of soul, rush upon Thee, and Thou lose Thy soul, with the souls of Thy household.
Jdg 18:26 And the sons of Dan departed: and when Micah saw that they [were] too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
Jdg 18:27 And they took [the things] which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came to Laish,
        to a people [that were] at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
Jdg 18:28 And [there was] no deliverer, because it [was] far from Sidon, and they had no business with [any] man; and it was in the valley that [lies] by Beth-rehob. And they built a city and dwelt in it.
Jdg 18:29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel: but the name of the city [was] Laish at the first.
Jdg 18:30 And the sons of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
Jdg 18:31 And they set up for themselves Micah's graven image which he made, all the time that the House of GOD was in Shiloh.

Jdg 19:1 {The concubine}.
        And it came to pass in those days, when [there was] no king in Israel,
        that there was a certain Levite dwelling on the side of Mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-Judah.
Jdg 19:2 And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him to her father's house to Beth-lehem-Judah, and was there for a period of four whole months.
Jdg 19:3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak to her heart, [and] to bring her back, 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.
Jdg 19:4 And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they ate and drank, and lodged there.
Jdg 19:5
        And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he arose to depart:
        and the damsel's father said to his son-in-law, strengthen Thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward depart.
Jdg 19:6 And they sat down, and ate and drank both of them together: for the damsel's father had said to the man,
        Be content, I pray Thee, and tarry all night, and let Thy heart be merry.
Jdg 19:7 And when the man rose to depart, his father-in-law urged him: he turned back and lodged there.
Jdg 19:8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel's father said,
        strengthen Thy heart, I pray Thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they ate both of them.
Jdg 19:9 And when the man arose to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the damsel's father, said to him,
        Behold now the day draws towards evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day is coming to an end, lodge here,
        that Thy heart may be merry; and rise early tomorrow to your way, and may go to Thy tent.
Jdg 19:10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he arose and departed, and came opposed to Jebus,
        which [is] Jerusalem; and [there were] with him two asses saddled, his concubine also [was] with him.
Jdg 19:11 When they [were] by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master,
        Come, I pray Thee, and let us turn in to this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
Jdg 19:12 And his master said to him, We shall not turn aside here into the city of a stranger,
        that [is] not of the sons of Israel; we shall pass over to Gibeah.
Jdg 19:13 And he said to his servant,
        Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
Jdg 19:14 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which [belongs] to Benjamin.
Jdg 19:15 And they turned aside there, to go in [and] to lodge in Gibeah:
        and when he went in, he sat down in a street of the city: for [there was] no man that took them into his house to lodge.
Jdg 19:16 And behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at evening,
        who [was] also of Mount Ephraim; and he dwelt in Gibeah: but the men of the place [were] Benjaminites.
Jdg 19:17 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a way-faring man in the street of the city:
        and the old man said, where go Thou? And whence come Thou?
Jdg 19:18 And he said to him, We [are] passing from Beth-lehem-Judah towards 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 receives me into [his] house.
Jdg 19:19 Yet there is both straw and fodder 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.
Jdg 19:20 And the old man said, Peace [be] with Thee; only [let] all Thy wants [lie] upon me; only lodge not in the street.
Jdg 19:21 So he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the asses: and they washed their feet and ate and drank.
Jdg 19:22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city,
        certain sons of Belial, beset the house on all sides, [and] beat at the door,
        and spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying,
        Bring forth the man that came into Thy house, that we may know him.
Jdg 19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them,
        No, my brethren, [No], I pray you, do not [so] wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this folly.
Jdg 19:24 Behold, [here] is my daughter, a maiden, and his concubine;
        them I shall bring out now, and rape ye them, and do with them what seems good to you: but to this man do not so vile a thing.
Jdg 19:25 But the men would not listen to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth to them;
        and they knew{intercourse} her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Jdg 19:26 Then came the woman in the morning, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord [was], until it was light.
Jdg 19:27 And her lord rose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house,
        and went out to go his way: and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down [at] the door of the house,
        and her hands [were] upon the threshold.
Jdg 19:28 And he said to her, Rise, and let us be going. And none answering.
        Then the man took her upon an ass, and the man rose, and went to his place.
Jdg 19:29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine,
        and divided her, with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the borders of Israel.
Jdg 19:30 And it was so, that all that saw it, said,
        There has been no such deed done nor seen from the day that the sons of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day:
        consider of it, take advice, and speak.
Jdg 20:1 {Battle of Gibeah}.
        Then all the sons of Israel went out, and the Congregation was assembled as one man,
        from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD in Mizpeh.
Jdg 20:2 And the chief of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel,
        presented themselves in the assembly of the people of GOD, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword;
Jdg 20:3 (now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh).
        Then said the sons of Israel, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?
Jdg 20:4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain,
        answered and said, I came into Gibeah that [belongs] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
Jdg 20:5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house upon me by night, [and] thought to have slain me:
        and my concubine have they raped, that she is dead.
Jdg 20:6 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.
Jdg 20:7 Behold, ye [are] all sons of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
Jdg 20:8 And all the people arose as one man,
        saying, We shall not any [of us] go to his tent, neither shall we any [of us] turn into his house:
Jdg 20:9 but now this [shall be] the thing which we shall do to Gibeah: [we shall go up] by lot against it;
Jdg 20:10 and we shall take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel,
        and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of a myriad,
        to fetch provisions for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin,
        according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
Jdg 20:11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
Jdg 20:12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin,
        saying, What wickedness [is] this that is done among you?
Jdg 20:13 And now deliver [us] the men, the sons of Belial,
        who [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and banish evil from Israel.
        But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel:
Jdg 20:14 but the sons of Benjamin assembled out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the sons of Israel.
Jdg 20:15 And the sons of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty six thousand men that drew sword,
        besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
Jdg 20:16 Among all this people [there were] seven hundred chosen men ambidextrous; every one could sling stones to a hair-[breadth], and not miss.
Jdg 20:17 And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these [were] men of war.
Jdg 20:18 And the sons of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-El, and asked counsel of GOD,
        and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the sons of Benjamin?
        And the LORD said, Judah [shall go up] first.
Jdg 20:19 And the sons of Israel rose in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
Jdg 20:20 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.
Jdg 20:21 And the sons of Benjamin came forth from Gibeah,
        and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty two thousand men.
Jdg 20:22 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.
Jdg 20:23 And the sons of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and asked counsel of the LORD,
        saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the sons of Benjamin my brother?
        And the LORD said, Go up against him).
Jdg 20:24 And the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin the second day.
Jdg 20:25 And Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day,
        and destroyed down to the ground of the sons of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
Jdg 20:26 Then all the sons of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Beth-El, and wept, and sat there before the LORD,
        and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.
Jdg 20:27 And the sons of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the Ark of the Covenant of GOD [was] there in those days.
Jdg 20:28 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 sons of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?
        And the LORD said, Go up; for tomorrow I shall deliver them into Thy hand.
Jdg 20:29 And Israel set liers in wait around Gibeah.
Jdg 20:30 And the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day,
        and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
Jdg 20:31 And the sons 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 goes up to Beth-El,
        and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Jdg 20:32 And the sons of Benjamin said, They [are] smitten down before us, as at the first.
        But the sons of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city to the highways.
Jdg 20:33 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, out of the meadows of Gibeah.
Jdg 20:34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel,
        and the battle was severe: but they knew not that evil [was] near them.
Jdg 20:35 And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel:
        and the sons of Israel destroyed of the Benjaminites,
        that day twenty five thousand hundred men: all these drew the sword.
Jdg 20:36 So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were smitten:
        for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjaminites,
        because they trusted to the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
Jdg 20:37 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.
Jdg 20:38 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 to rise up out of the city.
Jdg 20:39 And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite [and] kill of the men of Israel about thirty men:
        for they said, Surely, they are smitten down before us, as [in] the first battle.
Jdg 20:40 But when the flame began to rise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke,
        the Benjaminites looked behind them, and behold, the flame of the city ascended to Heaven.
Jdg 20:41 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil had come upon them.
Jdg 20:42 Therefore they turned [their backs] before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness;
        but the battle overtook them; and them who [came] out of the cities they destroyed in the middle of them.
Jdg 20:43 [Thus] they enclosed the Benjaminites on all sides, [and] chased them,
        [and] trod them down with ease opposed to Gibeah towards the sun-rising.
Jdg 20:44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these [were] men of valour.
Jdg 20:45 And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon:
        and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men;
        and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
Jdg 20:46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty five thousand men that drew the sword; all these [were] men of valour.
Jdg 20:47 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.
Jdg 20:48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the sons 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.
Jdg 21:1 {Wives for the tribe Benjamin}.
        Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter to Benjamin for a wife.
Jdg 21:2 And the people came to Beth-El, and abode there until evening before GOD, and lifted up their voices, and wept bitterly;
Jdg 21:3 and said, LORD, God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be today one tribe lacking in Israel?
Jdg 21:4
        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.
Jdg 21:5 And the sons of Israel said, Who [is there] among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the Congregation to the LORD?
        For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, he dying, he shall die.
Jdg 21:6 And the sons of Israel repented for Benjamin their brother, and said, [There is] one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Jdg 21:7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD, that we shall not give them of our daughters for wives?
Jdg 21:8 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.
Jdg 21:9 For the people were numbered, and behold, [there were] none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead there.
Jdg 21:10 And the Congregation sent there twelve thousand men of the most valiant, and commanded them,
        saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
Jdg 21:11 And this [is] the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that has lain in bed by man.
Jdg 21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four hundred young virgins not known{intercourse} a man by lying in bed with any male:
        and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan.
Jdg 21:13 And the whole Congregation sent [some] to speak to the sons of Benjamin that [were] in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably to them.
Jdg 21:14 And Benjamin came back at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-Gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
Jdg 21:15 And the people repented for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Jdg 21:16 Then the elders of the Congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
Jdg 21:17 And they said, [There must be] an inheritance for them that have escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
Jdg 21:18 But we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [be] he who gives a wife to Benjamin!
Jdg 21:19 Then they said, Behold, [there is] a Festival of the LORD in Shiloh from time to time{yearly} [in a place] which [is] on the north side of Beth-El,
          by the sun-rising side of the highway that goes up from Beth-El to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Jdg 21:20 Therefore they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, Go, and lie in wait in the vineyards;
Jdg 21:21 and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards,
        and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Jdg 21:22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to us to complain, that we shall say to them,
        Be favourable to them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give to them at this time, [that] ye should be guilty.
Jdg 21:23 And the sons of Benjamin did so, and took [them] wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught:
        and they went and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities and dwelt in them.
Jdg 21:24 And the sons of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family,
        and they went from thence every man to his inheritance.
Jdg 21:25 In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did right in his own eyes.

1Sa 1:1 [Scroll 07 Samuel-Kings (Samuel 1)].
        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:
1Sa 1:2 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.
1Sa 1:3 And this man went up out of his city from time to time{yearly} to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Sabaoth in Shiloh.
        And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, [were] there.
1Sa 1:4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions.
1Sa 1:5 {Hannah and the Birth of Samuel}.
        But to Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah; but the LORD had shut up her womb.
1Sa 1:6 And her adversary also provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
1Sa 1:7 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.
1Sa 1:8 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why do Thou weep?
        And why eat Thou not? And why is Thy heart grieved? [Am] not I better to Thee than ten sons?
1Sa 1:9
        So Hannah rose after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drank.
        Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the Temple of the LORD.
1Sa 1:10 And she [was] bitter of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.
1Sa 1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said,
        LORD of Sabaoth, if Thou shall indeed look on the affliction of Thy handmaid,
        and remember me, and not forget Thy handmaid,
        but shall give to Thy handmaid a male seed{offspring},
        then I shall give him to the LORD all the days of his life,
        and there shall no razor come upon his head.
1Sa 1:12
        And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli observed her mouth.
1Sa 1:13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
1Sa 1:14 And Eli said to her, Until when shall Thou be drunken? Put away Thy wine from Thee.
1Sa 1:15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a woman of a sorrowful spirit:
        I have drank neither wine nor shekar{strong drink}, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
1Sa 1:16 Count not Thy handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken until now.
1Sa 1:17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant [Thee] Thy petition that Thou have asked of him.
1Sa 1:18 And she said, Let Thy handmaid find grace in Thy eyes. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [sad].
1Sa 1:19 And they rose in the morning early, and worshiped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah:
        and Elkanah knew{intercourse} Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
1Sa 1:20 And it came to pass, at the turning of days, after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son,
        and called his name Samu-El{Samuel}, [saying], Because I have asked before the LORD.
1Sa 1:21
        And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the periodic{yearly} sacrifice, and his vow.
1Sa 1:22 But Hannah went not up; for she said to her husband, [I shall not go up] until the child is weaned,
        and [then] I shall bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide forever.
1Sa 1:23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems to Thee good; tarry until Thou have weaned him. May the LORD establish His word.
        So the woman abode, and nursed her son until she weaned him.
1Sa 1:24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine,
        and brought him to the House of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child [was] young.
1Sa 1:25 And they slew a bull, and brought the child to Eli.
1Sa 1:26 And she said, O my lord, [as] Thy soul lives, my lord, I [am] the woman that stood by Thee here, praying to the LORD.
1Sa 1:27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of Him:
1Sa 1:28 therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshiped the LORD there.
1Sa 2:1 {Song of Hannah}.
        And Hannah prayed, and said,
        My heart rejoices in the LORD.
        My horn is exalted in the LORD.
        My mouth is enlarged over my enemies;
        because I rejoice in Thy Salvation.
1Sa 2:2
        [There is] none Holy as the LORD:
    for [there is] none besides Thee:
        neither [is there] any Rock like our God.
1Sa 2:3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly;
        let [not] arrogance come out of your mouth:
        for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge,
        and by him actions are weighed.
1Sa 2:4
        The bows of the mighty men [are] broken,
        and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
1Sa 2:5 [They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread;
        and [they that were] hungry ceased:
        so that the barren has borne seven;
        and she who has many sons is become feeble.
1Sa 2:6
        The LORD kills, and makes alive:
          He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.
1Sa 2:7 The LORD makes poor, and makes rich:
          He brings low, and lifts up.
1Sa 2:8
        He raises the poor out of the dust,
        [and] lifts the beggar from the dunghill,
        to set [them] among princes,
        and to make them inherit the throne of glory:
        for the pillars of the Earth [are] the LORD's,
        and He has set the World upon them.
1Sa 2:9
        He shall keep the feet of His Saints,
        and the wicked shall be silent in darkness;
        for by strength shall no man prevail.
1Sa 2:10
        The LORD's His adversaries shall be broken to pieces;
        out of Heavens shall He thunder upon them:
        the LORD shall judge the ends of the Earth;
        and He shall give strength to His King,
        and exalt the horn of His Messiah.
1Sa 2:11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.
1Sa 2:12 Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
1Sa 2:13 And the priests' custom with the people [was], [that], when any man offered sacrifice,
        the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand;
1Sa 2:14 And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took for himself.
        So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there.
1Sa 2:15 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 shall not have boiled flesh of Thee, but raw.
1Sa 2:16 And [if] any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as Thy soul desires; then he would answer him,
        [No]; but Thou shall give [it to me] now: and if not, I shall take [it] by force.
1Sa 2:17 Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
1Sa 2:18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child, girded with a linen ephod.
1Sa 2:19 And his mother made him a little coat, and brought [it] to him from time to time{yearly}, when she came up with her husband, to offer the yearly sacrifice.
1Sa 2:20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, May the LORD give Thee issue of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went to their own home.
1Sa 2:21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
1Sa 2:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did to all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
1Sa 2:23 And he said to them, Why do ye such things? For I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
1Sa 2:24 No, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.
1Sa 2:25 If one man shall sin against another, GOD shall judge him: but if a man shall sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him?
        And they listened not to the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

1Sa 2:26 And the child Samuel continued to grow, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
1Sa 2:27 And there came a man of GOD to Eli, and said to him, Thus says the LORD,
        Did I plainly appear to the house of Thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
1Sa 2:28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] My priest, to offer upon My Altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before Me?
        And did I give to the house of Thy father all the offerings made by fire of the sons of Israel?
1Sa 2:29 Why kick ye at My sacrifice and at My offering, which I have commanded [in My] habitation; and honour Thy sons above Me,
        to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?
1Sa 2:30 Therefore the LORD, God of Israel said, I said indeed [that] Thy house, and the house of Thy father should walk before Me forever:
        but now the LORD said, Let it not be; for them that honour Me I shall honour, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
1Sa 2:31 Behold, the days come, that I shall cut off Thy arm, and the arm of Thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in Thy house.
1Sa 2:32 And Thou shall see an enemy [in My] habitation, in all [the wealth] which He shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in Thy house forever.
1Sa 2:33 And the man of Thy, [whom] I shall not cut off from My Altar, [shall be] to consume Thy eyes, and to grieve Thy soul: and all the increase of Thy house shall die [as young] men.
1Sa 2:34 And this [shall be] a sign to Thee, that shall come upon Thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.
1Sa 2:35 And I shall raise Me up a faithful Priest, [that] shall do according to [that] which [is] in My heart and in My soul: and I shall build him a sure house. He shall walk before My Messiah forever.
1Sa 2:36 And it shall be, [that] every one that is left in Thy 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.

1Sa 3:1 And the child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli.
        And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; [there was] no open vision.
1Sa 3:2
        And it came to pass at that time, when Eli [was] laid down in his place, and his eyes began to grow dim, [that] he could not see;
1Sa 3:3 and before the lamp of GOD went out in the Temple of the LORD, where the Ark of GOD [was], and Samuel was laid down [to sleep];
1Sa 3:4 that the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Behold me.
1Sa 3:5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Behold me; for Thou called me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
1Sa 3:6 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli,
        and said, Behold me; for Thou did call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
1Sa 3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.
1Sa 3:8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli,
        and said, Behold me; for Thou did call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
1Sa 3:9 And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if He should call Thee, that Thou shall say,
        Speak, LORD; for Thy servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
1Sa 3:10 And the LORD came, and stood and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel.
        And Samuel answered, Speak; for Thy servant hears.
1Sa 3:11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I shall do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that hears it shall tingle.
1Sa 3:12 In that day I shall perform against Eli all [things] which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I shall also make an end.
1Sa 3:13 For I have told him, that I shall judge his house forever, for the iniquity which He knows: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
1Sa 3:14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering forever.
1Sa 3:15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the House of the LORD: and Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
1Sa 3:16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Behold me.
1Sa 3:17 And he said, What [is] the thing that He has said to Thee? I pray Thee hide [it] not from me. May GOD do so to Thee,
        and more also, if Thou shall hide [any] thing from me, of all the things that He said to Thee.
1Sa 3:18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It [is] the LORD: let him do what seems him good.
1Sa 3:19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
1Sa 3:20 And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, knew that Samuel [was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD.
1Sa 3:21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
1Sa 4:1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel.
        Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
1Sa 4:2 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.
1Sa 4:3 And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why has the LORD smitten us today before the Philistines?
        Let us bring the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us, it may save us from the hand of our enemies.
1Sa 4:4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD of Sabaoth,
        who dwells [between] the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, [were] there with the Ark of the Covenant of GOD.
1Sa 4:5 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 resounded.
1Sa 4:6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What [means] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?
        And they understood that the Ark of the LORD had come into the camp.
1Sa 4:7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, GOD has come into the camp.
        And they said, Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing yesterday and before.
1Sa 4:8 Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty GODS?
        These [are] the GODS that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
1Sa 4:9 Be strong, and become men, ye Philistines, that ye may not be servants to the Hebrews,
        as they have been to you: be ye manly, and fight.
1Sa 4:10 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.
1Sa 4:11 And the Ark of GOD was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
1Sa 4:12 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.
1Sa 4:13 And when He came, behold, Eli sat upon a seat by the way 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.
1Sa 4:14 And Eli heard the noise of the crying. And he said, What [means] the noise of this tumult?
        And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
1Sa 4:15 Now Eli was ninety eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
1Sa 4:16 And the man said to Eli, I [am] he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
1Sa 4:17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has 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.
1Sa 4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the Ark of GOD, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died:
        for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
1Sa 4:19
        And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant [near] to be delivered: and when she heard the report 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.
1Sa 4:20 And about the time of her death, the women that stood by her said to her, Fear not; for Thou have borne a son. But she answered not, nor set her heart [it].
1Sa 4:21 And she named the child I-chabod{no glory}, saying, The glory has departed from Israel.
        (Because the Ark of GOD was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband).
1Sa 4:22 And she said, The glory has departed from Israel: for the Ark of GOD is taken.
1Sa 5:1 And the Philistines took the Ark of GOD, and brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
1Sa 5:2 When the Philistines took the Ark of GOD, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
1Sa 5:3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon [had] fallen upon his face to the ground before the Ark of the LORD.
        And they took Dagon, and set him back in his place.
1Sa 5:4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon had fallen upon his face to the ground before the Ark of the LORD:
        and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him.
1Sa 5:5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
1Sa 5:6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with haemorrhoids, Ashdod, and its borders.
1Sa 5:7 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 severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
1Sa 5:8 They sent therefore, and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said,
        What shall we do with the Ark of the God of Israel?
        And they answered, Let the Ark of the God of Israel be carried about to Gath. And they carried the Ark of the God of Israel [there].
1Sa 5:9 And it was [so], that after they had carried it there, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction:
        and He smote the men of the city both small and great, and they had haemorrhoids in their secret parts.
1Sa 5:10 And 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.
1Sa 5:11 So they sent and convened all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the Ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place,
        that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
1Sa 5:12 And the men that died not, were smitten with the haemorrhoids: and the cry of the city went up to Heaven.
1Sa 6:1
        And the Ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
1Sa 6:2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the Ark of the LORD?
        Tell us with what we shall send it to its place.
1Sa 6:3 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.
1Sa 6:4 Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass-offering which we shall return to him?
        They answered, Five golden haemorrhoids, and five golden mice, [according to] the number of the lords of the Philistines:
        for one plague [was] on you all, and on your lords.
1Sa 6:5 Therefore ye shall make images of your haemorrhoids, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory to the God of Israel:
        it may be He shall lighten His hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
1Sa 6:6 Why then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts?
        When He had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
1Sa 6:7 And now make a new cart, and take two milk cows on which there has come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
1Sa 6:8 and take the Ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold which ye return to him [for] a trespass-offering, in a coffer by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
1Sa 6:9 And see, if it goes up by the way of his own border to Beth-shemesh,
        [then] he has 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.
1Sa 6:10 And the men did so; and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
1Sa 6:11 and they laid the Ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their haemorrhoids.
1Sa 6:12 And the cows took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh,
        [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left;
        and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth-shemesh.
1Sa 6:13 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].
1Sa 6:14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone:
        and they cleaved the wood of the cart, and offered the cows a burnt-offering to the LORD.
1Sa 6:15 And the Levites took down the Ark of the LORD, and the coffer that [was] with it, in which [were] the jewels of gold, and put [them] on the great stone:
        and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
1Sa 6:16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it], they returned to Ekron the same day.
1Sa 6:17 And these [are] the golden haemorrhoids which the Philistines returned [for] a trespass-offering to the LORD;
        for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
1Sa 6:18 and the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords, [both] of fortified cities, and of country villages,
        even to the great [stone of] Abel, on which they set down the Ark of the LORD:
        [which stone remains] to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
1Sa 6:19 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 seventy men:
        and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of the people with a great slaughter.
1Sa 6:20 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?
1Sa 6:21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the Ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] bring it up to you.
1Sa 7:1 And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and brought up the Ark of the LORD,
        and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the Ark of the LORD.
1Sa 7:2
        And it came to pass, while the Ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years:
        and all the House of Israel lamented after the LORD.
1Sa 7:3 And Samuel spoke to all the House of Israel, saying, If ye do return to the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods, and Ashtaroth,
        from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve Him only: and He shall deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.
1Sa 7:4 Then the sons of Israel put away Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
1Sa 7:5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I shall pray for you to the LORD.
1Sa 7:6 And they assembled at Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and there said,
        We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the sons of Israel in Mizpeh.
1Sa 7:7 And when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel were assembled at Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel.
        And when the sons of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines.
1Sa 7:8 And the sons of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that He shall save us from the hand of the Philistines.
1Sa 7:9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt-offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD replied him.
1Sa 7:10 And as Samuel was offering the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines,
        and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
1Sa 7:11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Beth-car.
1Sa 7:12 And Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, until now has the LORD helped us.
1Sa 7:13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the borders of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
1Sa 7:14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath;
        and the borders of it did Israel deliver from the hands of the Philistines: and there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
1Sa 7:15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
1Sa 7:16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
1Sa 7:17 And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an Altar to the LORD.

1Sa 8:1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
1Sa 8:2 Now the name of his first-born was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beer-Sheba.
1Sa 8:3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
1Sa 8:4 Then all the elders of Israel assembled, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
1Sa 8:5 and said to him, Behold, Thou are old, and Thy sons walk not in Thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
1Sa 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel prayed to the LORD.
1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to Thee:
        for they have not rejected Thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
1Sa 8:8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt until this day,
        by which they have forsaken Me, and served other GODS, so do they also to Thee.
1Sa 8:9 And now listen to their voice: yet protest solemnly to them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
1Sa 8:10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people that asked of him a king.
1Sa 8:11 And he said, This shall be the manner of the king that shall reign over you:
        and he shall take your sons, and appoint [them] for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and [some] shall run before his chariots.
1Sa 8:12 And shall appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and [shall set them] to till his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
1Sa 8:13 And he shall take your daughters [to be] perfumers, and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers.
1Sa 8:14 And he shall take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards, the best [of them], and give [them] to his servants.
1Sa 8:15 And he shall take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
1Sa 8:16 And he shall take your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your most choice young men, and your asses, and put [them] to his work.
1Sa 8:17 He shall take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
1Sa 8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD shall not reply you in that day.
1Sa 8:19 And the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, No; but we shall have a king over us;
1Sa 8:20 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.
1Sa 8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
1Sa 8:22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city.

1Sa 9:1 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 Benjaminite, a mighty man of power.
1Sa 9:2 And he had a son, whose name [was] Saul,
        a choice young man, and a goodly: and [there was] not among the sons of Israel a more handsome person than he:
        from his shoulders and upward [he was] higher than any of the people.
1Sa 9:3 And the she-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 she-asses.
1Sa 9:4 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 Benjaminites, but they found [them] not.
1Sa 9:5 When they had come to the land of Zuf, Saul said to his servant that [was] with him,
        Come, and let us return; lest my father leave [caring] for the she-asses, and be anxious for us.
1Sa 9:6 And he said to him, Behold now, [there is] in this city a man of GOD, and [he is] an honourable man;
        all that he said comes surely to pass: now let us go there; it may be he can show us our way that we should go.
1Sa 9:7 Then said Saul to his servant, But behold, [if] we go, what shall we bring to the man?
        For the bread is spent in our vessels, and [there] is not a present to bring to the man of GOD: what have we?
1Sa 9:8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said,
        Behold, I have here in my hand the fourth [part] of a shekel of silver: [that] I shall give to the man of GOD, to tell us our way;
1Sa 9:9 (formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of GOD, thus He spoke,
        Come, and let us go to the seer: for he [that is] now [called] a prophet was formerly called a Seer).
1Sa 9:10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go: so they went to the city where the man of GOD [was].
1Sa 9:11 As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here?
1Sa 9:12 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:
1Sa 9:13 as soon as ye shall enter the city, ye shall immediately find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat: for the people shall not eat until he comes,
        because he does bless the sacrifice; [and] afterwards they eat that are invited. And now go up: for about this time ye shall find him.
1Sa 9:14 And they went up into the city: [and] when they had come into the city, behold, Samuel came out meeting them, to go up to the high place.
1Sa 9:15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
1Sa 9:16
        Tomorrow about this time I shall send Thee a man out of the land of Benjamin,
        and Thou shall anoint him [to be] captain over My people Israel,
        that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines:
        for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.
1Sa 9:17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him,
        Behold the man of whom I spoke to Thee! This [man] shall reign over My people.
1Sa 9:18 And Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said,
        Tell me, I pray Thee, where the seer's house [is].
1Sa 9:19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said,
        I [am] the seer: go up before me to the high place; for ye shall eat with me,
        today, and tomorrow I shall let Thee go, and shall tell Thee all that [is] in Thy heart.
1Sa 9:20 And as for Thy she-asses that were lost three days ago, set not Thy heart 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?
1Sa 9:21 And Saul answered and said, [Am] not I a Benjaminite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel?
        And My family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then speak Thou so to me?
1Sa 9:22 And Samuel took Saul, and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chief place,
        among them that were invited, who [were] about thirty men.
1Sa 9:23 And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion which I gave Thee, of which I said to Thee, Set it by Thee.
1Sa 9:24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and [that] which [was] upon it, and set [it] before Saul.
         And he said, Behold that which is left! Set [it] before Thee, [and] eat; for to this time has it been kept for Thee;
        since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
1Sa 9:25 And when they had come down from the high place into the city, [he] communed with Saul upon the roof.
1Sa 9:26 And they rose early:
        and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the roof,
        saying, Arise, that I may send Thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
1Sa 9:27 As they were going down to the end of the city, and 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.
1Sa 10:1
        And Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon his head, and kissed him,
        and said, [Is it] not because the LORD has anointed Thee [to be] captain over his inheritance?
1Sa 10:2 When Thou have departed from me today, then Thou shall find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they shall say to Thee,
        the she-asses which Thou went to seek are found: and behold, Thy father has left the care of the she-asses, and sorrows for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
1Sa 10:3 Then shall Thou go on forward from thence, and Thou shall 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:
1Sa 10:4 and they shall salute Thee, and give Thee two [loaves] of bread; which Thou shall receive from their hands.
1Sa 10:5 After that Thou shall come to the Hill of GOD, where [is] the garrison of the Philistines:
        and it shall be, when Thou have come there to the city, that Thou shall meet a company of prophets,
        coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them; and they shall prophesy:
1Sa 10:6 and the Spirit of the LORD shall come upon Thee, and Thou shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
1Sa 10:7 And let it be, when these signs have come to Thee, [that] Thou do as occasion shall serve Thee; for GOD [is] with Thee.
1Sa 10:8 And Thou shall go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I shall come down to Thee, to offer burnt-offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days,
        shall Thou tarry, until I come to Thee, and show Thee what Thou shall do.
1Sa 10:9 And it was [so], that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, GOD turned him another heart:
         and all those signs came to pass that day.
1Sa 10:10 And when they came there to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of GOD came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
1Sa 10:11
        And it came to pass, when all that yesterday and before knew him saw, that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets,
        then the people said one to another, What [is] this [that] has come to the son of Kish? [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
1Sa 10:12 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?
1Sa 10:13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
1Sa 10:14 And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, where went ye? And he said, To seek the she-asses: and when we saw that [they were] nowhere, we came to Samuel.
1Sa 10:15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray Thee, What Samuel said to you.
1Sa 10:16 And Saul said to his uncle, he told us plainly that the she-asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he told him not.
1Sa 10:17 And Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpeh;
1Sa 10:18 and said to the sons of Israel, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel, I brought Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians,
        and out of the hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them that oppressed you:
1Sa 10:19 and ye have this day rejected your God, who Himself saved you out of all your adversities, and your tribulations; and ye have said to Him,
        [No], but set a king over us. And now present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
1Sa 10:20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
1Sa 10:21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near according to 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.
1Sa 10:22 Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man would yet come there. And the LORD answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the stuff.
1Sa 10:23 And they ran and brought him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
1Sa 10:24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD has chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Live the king!
1Sa 10:25 And 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.
1Sa 10:26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts GOD had touched.
1Sa 10:27 But the sons of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.

1Sa 11:1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a Covenant with us, and we shall serve Thee.
1Sa 11:2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this [condition] shall I make [a Covenant] with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it [for] a reproach upon all Israel.
1Sa 11:3 And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel: and then, if [there is] no man to save us, we shall come out to Thee.
1Sa 11:4 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.
1Sa 11:5 And behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What [ails] the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
1Sa 11:6 And the Spirit of GOD came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
1Sa 11:7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent [them] throughout all the borders of Israel by the hands of messengers,
        saying, Whoever comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
1Sa 11:8 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the sons of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
1Sa 11:9 And they said to the messengers that came, thus shall ye say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, Tomorrow by [the time] the sun is hot, ye shall have help.
        And the messengers came and showed [it] to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
1Sa 11:10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we shall come out to you, and ye shall do with us all that seems good to you.
1Sa 11:11 And it was [so] on the morrow, that Saul disposed the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning-watch,
        and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day:
        and it came to pass, that they who remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
1Sa 11:12 And the people said to Samuel, Who [is] he who said, Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men, that we may put them to death.
1Sa 11:13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for today the LORD has wrought Salvation in Israel.
1Sa 11:14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
1Sa 11:15 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.

1Sa 12:1 And Samuel said to all Israel, behold, I have listened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you.
1Sa 12:2 And now, behold, the king walks before you: and I [am] old and grey-headed; and behold, My sons [are] with you: and I have walked before you from My childhood to this day.
1Sa 12:3 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 from whose hand have I received [any] bribe to blind my eyes with it? And I shall restore it you.
1Sa 12:4 And they said Thou have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have Thou taken aught from any man's hand.
1Sa 12:5 And he said to 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.
1Sa 12:6 And Samuel said to the people, [It is] the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
1Sa 12:7 And now stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteousness of the LORD, which He did to you and to your fathers.
1Sa 12:8 When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers from Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
1Sa 12:9 And when they forgot the LORD their God, He sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
1Sa 12:10 And they cried to the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we shall serve Thee.
1Sa 12:11 And the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelt safe.
1Sa 12:12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, No; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God [was] your King.
1Sa 12:13 And now, behold the king whom ye have chosen, [and] whom ye have desired!
          And behold, the LORD has set a king over you.
1Sa 12:14 If ye shall 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 reigns over you continue following the LORD your God.
1Sa 12:15 But if ye shall 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.
1Sa 12:16 And now stand and see this great thing, which the LORD shall do before your eyes.
1Sa 12:17 [Is it] not wheat-harvest today? I shall call to the LORD, and He shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness [is] great, which ye have done in the eyes of the LORD, in asking you a king.
1Sa 12:18 So Samuel called to the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
1Sa 12:19 And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for Thy servants to the LORD Thy God, that we die not: for we have added to all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king.
1Sa 12:20 And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
1Sa 12:21 and turn ye not aside: for then [would ye go] after vain [things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are] vain.
1Sa 12:22 For the LORD shall not forsake His people for His great name's sake: because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people.
1Sa 12:23 And as for me, Let it not be that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I shall teach you the good and the right way:
1Sa 12:24 only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great [things] He has done for you.
1Sa 12:25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

1Sa 13:1 It was a year [since] Saul began to reign and he had reigned [in the] second year over Israel,
1Sa 13:2 Saul chose him three thousand [men] of Israel; [of which] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in Mount Beth-El,
        and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
1Sa 13:3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that [was] in Geba; and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the shofar throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
1Sa 13:4 And all Israel heard it said [that] Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and [that] Israel made himself stink to the Philistines: and the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
1Sa 13:5 And the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen,
        and people as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Beth-Aven.
1Sa 13:6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed) then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
1Sa 13:7 And [some of] the Hebrews went over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
1Sa 13:8 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.
1Sa 13:9 And Saul said, Bring here a burnt-offering to me, and peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.
1Sa 13:10
        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 bless him.
1Sa 13:11 And Samuel said, What have Thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that] Thou came not within the days appointed, and [that] the Philistines assembled at Michmash;
1Sa 13:12 Therefore I said, the Philistines shall now come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD; I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt-offering.
1Sa 13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou have done foolishly: Thou have not kept the Commandment of the LORD Thy God, which He commanded Thee: for now would the LORD have established Thy kingdom upon Israel forever.
1Sa 13:14 But now Thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD has sought him a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him [to be] chef over His people, because Thou have not kept [that] which the LORD commanded Thee.
1Sa 13:15 And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present with him, about six hundred men.
1Sa 13:16 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.
1Sa 13:17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way [that leads to] Ophrah, to the land of Shual:
1Sa 13:18 and another company turned the way [to] Beth-horon: and another company turned [to] the way of the border that looks to the valley of Zeboim towards the wilderness.
1Sa 13:19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: (for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them] swords or spears).
1Sa 13:20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his ploughshare, and his axe, and his mattock.
1Sa 13:21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the ploughshares, and for the three-pronged forks, and for the axes, and for setting the goad.
1Sa 13:22
        And 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.
1Sa 13:23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.

1Sa 14:1 And it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armour,
        Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, that [is] on the other side. But he told not his father.
1Sa 14:2 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;
1Sa 14:3 and Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I-chabod'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.
1Sa 14:4 And between the passages by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines,
        [there was] a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side:
        [and] the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
1Sa 14:5 The front of the one [was] a pilar northward opposed to Michmash, and the other southward opposed to Gibeah.
1Sa 14:6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised:
        it may be that the LORD shall work for us: for [there is] no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
1Sa 14:7 And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that [is] in Thy heart: turn Thee; behold, I [am] with Thee according to Thy heart.
1Sa 14:8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we shall pass over to [these] men, and we shall disclose ourselves to them.
1Sa 14:9 If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you; then we shall stand still in our place, and shall not go up to them.
1Sa 14:10 But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we shall go up: for the LORD has delivered them into our hand; and this [shall be] a sign to us.
1Sa 14:11 And both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines:
        and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
1Sa 14:12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we shall show you a thing.
        And Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me: for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.
1Sa 14:13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armour-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour-bearer slew after him.
1Sa 14:14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armour-bearer made, was about twenty men in about half of a furrow of a yoke [of oxen in] a field.
1Sa 14:15 And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the Earth quaked: so it was [the] trembling of GOD.
1Sa 14:16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one another].
1Sa 14:17 Then said Saul to the people that [were] with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer [were] not [there].
1Sa 14:18 And Saul said to Ahiah, Bring here the Ark of GOD. For the Ark of GOD was at that time with the sons of Israel.
1Sa 14:19
        And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise that [was] in the camp of the Philistines went on, and increased: and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw Thy hand.
1Sa 14:20 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.
1Sa 14:21 And the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines yesterday and before, who went up with them into the camp [from the country] around,
        even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that [were] with Saul and Jonathan.
1Sa 14:22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in Mount Ephraim,
        [when] they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also pursued them in the battle.
1Sa 14:23 So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over to Beth-Aven.
1Sa 14:24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people,
        saying, Cursed [be] the man that eats [any] food until evening, that I may be avenged on my enemies!
         So none of the people tasted [any] food.
1Sa 14:25 And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
1Sa 14:26 And when the people had come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
1Sa 14:27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: therefore he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand,
        and dipped it in a honey-comb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
1Sa 14:28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath,
         saying, Cursed [be] the man that eats [any] food this day!
          And the people were faint.
1Sa 14:29 Then said Jonathan, my father has troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
1Sa 14:30 How much more, if the people had freely eaten today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? For had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
1Sa 14:31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon: and the people were very faint.
1Sa 14:32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people ate [them] with the blood.
1Sa 14:33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood.
        And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this day.
1Sa 14:34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them,
        Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood.
        And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew [them] there.
1Sa 14:35 And Saul built an Altar to the LORD: the same was the first Altar that he built to the LORD:
1Sa 14:36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them.
        And they said, Do whatever seems good to Thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near here to GOD.
1Sa 14:37 And Saul asked counsel of GOD, Shall I go down after the Philistines?
        Will Thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
1Sa 14:38 And Saul said, Draw ye near here all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin has been this day.
1Sa 14:39 For [as] the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son.
         Dying, he shall die. But [there was] not a man among all the people [that] answering him.
1Sa 14:40 Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son shall be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to Thee.
1Sa 14:41 And Saul said to the LORD, God of Israel, Give a perfect [lot]. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
1Sa 14:42 And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
1Sa 14:43 And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what Thou have done. And Jonathan told him,
        and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that [was] in my hand, [and], behold, I must die.
1Sa 14:44 And Saul answered, May GOD do so, and more also. Dying, Thou shall die, Jonathan.
1Sa 14:45 And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great Salvation in Israel?
          Let it not be: [as] the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground;
        for he has wrought with GOD this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.
1Sa 14:46 And Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

1Sa 14:47 And Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side,
        against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom,
        and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned, he harassed [them].
1Sa 14:48 And he gathered a army, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of them that spoiled them.
1Sa 14:49 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 first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
1Sa 14:50 and the name of Saul's [wife] was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his army [was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
1Sa 14:51 And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner [was] the son of Abiel.
1Sa 14:52 And there was violent war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.

1Sa 15:1 Samuel also said to Saul, the LORD sent me to anoint Thee [to be] king over His people, over Israel: now therefore listen Thou to the voice of the words of the LORD.
1Sa 15:2 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [in wait] for him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
1Sa 15:3 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.
1Sa 15:4 And Saul assembled the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
1Sa 15:5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid in wait in the valley.
1Sa 15:6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, withdraw yourselves from among the Amalekites,
        lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.
        So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
1Sa 15:7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah, [until] Thou come to Shur, that [is] opposed to Egypt.
1Sa 15:8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
1Sa 15:9 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.
1Sa 15:10 Then came the word of the LORD to Samuel, saying,
1Sa 15:11 I regret that I have set up Saul [to be] king: for he is turned back from following Me, and has not performed My Commandments.
        And it grieved Samuel; and he cried to the LORD all night.
1Sa 15:12 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 has gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
1Sa 15:13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed [be] Thou of the LORD: I have performed the Commandment of the LORD!
1Sa 15:14 And Samuel said, What [means] then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
1Sa 15:15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD Thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
1Sa 15:16 And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I shall tell Thee that which the LORD has spoken to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
1Sa 15:17 And Samuel said, When Thou [were] little in Thy own eyes, [were Thou] not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed Thee king over Israel?
1Sa 15:18 And the LORD sent Thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.
1Sa 15:19 Why then did Thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but did fly upon the spoil, and did evil in the eyes of the LORD?
1Sa 15:20 And Saul said to Samuel, that 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.
1Sa 15:21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD Thy God in Gilgal.
1Sa 15:22 And Samuel said, has 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 listen than the fat of rams.
1Sa 15:23 For rebellion [is as] the sin of divination, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and teraphim. Because Thou have rejected the word of the LORD, He has also rejected Thee from [being] king.
1Sa 15:24 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the Commandment of the LORD, and Thy words; because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
1Sa 15:25 And now, I pray Thee, pardon my sin, and turn back with me, that I may worship the LORD.
1Sa 15:26 And Samuel said to Saul, I shall not return with Thee: for Thou have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected Thee from being king over Israel.
1Sa 15:27 And as Samuel turned about to depart, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
1Sa 15:28 And Samuel said to him, The LORD has rent the kingdom of Israel from Thee this day, and has given it to a neighbour of Thy, [that is] better than Thou.
1Sa 15:29 And also the Strength of Israel shall not lie nor repent: for He [is] not a man, that He should repent.
1Sa 15:30 Then he said, I have sinned: [yet] honour me now, I pray Thee, before the elders of my people,
        and before Israel, and turn back with me, that I may worship the LORD Thy God.
1Sa 15:31 So Samuel turned back after Saul; and Saul worshiped the LORD.
1Sa 15:32
        Then said Samuel, Bring ye here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites.
        And Agag came to him delicately. And Agag said, Surely, the bitterness of death is past.
1Sa 15:33 And Samuel said, As Thy sword has made women childless,
        so shall Thy mother be childless among women.
        And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
1Sa 15:34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
1Sa 15:35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death:
          for Samuel mourned for Saul:
        and the LORD relented that He had made Saul king over Israel.

1Sa 16:1 And the LORD said to Samuel, Until when shall Thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel?
        Fill Thy horn with oil, and go, I shall send Thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
1Sa 16:2 And Samuel said, How can I go? If Saul shall hear [it], he shall kill me.
        And the LORD said, Take a heifer with Thee, and say, I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.
1Sa 16:3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I shall show Thee what Thou shall do: and Thou shall anoint to Me [him] whom I name to Thee.
1Sa 16:4 And Samuel did that which the LORD has spoken, and came to Beth-lehem.
        And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Come Thou peaceably?
1Sa 16:5 And he said, Peaceably: I have come to sacrifice to the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.
        And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
1Sa 16:6
        And it came to pass, when they had come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely, the LORD's anointed [is] before him.
1Sa 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him:
        for He does not see as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.
1Sa 16:8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.
1Sa 16:9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.
1Sa 16:10 And Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The LORD has not chosen these.
1Sa 16:11 And Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all [Thy] children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he keeps the sheep.
        And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and bring him: for we shall not sit down until he has come here.
1Sa 16:12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy, [and] also of a beautiful countenance, and a good appearance. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this [is] he.
1Sa 16:13 And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the middle of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose, and went to Ramah.

1Sa 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
1Sa 16:15 And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from GOD troubles Thee.
1Sa 16:16 Let our lord now command Thy servants, [who are] before Thee, to seek a man [who is] a skilful player on a harp:
        and it shall be, when the evil spirit from GOD is upon Thee, that he shall play with his hand, and Thou shall be well.
1Sa 16:17 And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
1Sa 16:18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite,
        [that is] skilful 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.
1Sa 16:19 And Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send to me David Thy son, who [is] with the sheep.
1Sa 16:20 And Jesse took an ass [laden] with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by the hand of David his son to Saul.
1Sa 16:21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.
1Sa 16:22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray Thee, stand before me; for he has found grace in my eyes.
1Sa 16:23 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.

1Sa 17:1 {David and Goliath}.
        Now the Philistines collected their armies to battle, and were assembled at Shochoh,
        which [belongs] to Judah, and encamped between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
1Sa 17:2 And Saul and the men of Israel were assembled and encamped by the valley of Elah, and [they] set the battle in array against the Philistines.
1Sa 17:3 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.
1Sa 17:4 And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height [was] four cubits and a span{the MT has six cubits and a span}.
1Sa 17:5 And [he had] a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he [was] armed with scaled armour; and the weight of the armour [was] five thousand shekels of bronze.
1Sa 17:6 And [he had] greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.
1Sa 17:7 And the staff of his spear [was] like a weavers' beam; and his spear's head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
1Sa 17:8 And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them,
        Why have ye come out to set [your] battle in array? [Am] not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul?
        Choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
1Sa 17:9 If he shall be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then shall we be your servants:
        but if I shall prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
1Sa 17:10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
1Sa 17:11 And Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
1Sa 17:12 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.
1Sa 17:13 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 first-born, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
1Sa 17:14 And David [was] the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
1Sa 17:15 And David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
1Sa 17:16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
1Sa 17:17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take now for Thy brethren an ephah of this parched [grain], and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to Thy brethren;
1Sa 17:18 and carry these ten cheeses to the captain of [their] thousand, and see how Thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
1Sa 17:19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in the valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.
1Sa 17:20 And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him;
        and he came to the trench, as the army was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
1Sa 17:21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
1Sa 17:22 And David left his furniture in the hand of the keeper of the vessels, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
1Sa 17:23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath,
        Goliath by name, from the armies of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard [them].
1Sa 17:24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were exceedingly afraid.
1Sa 17:25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that has come up? Surely, to defy Israel has he come: and it shall be, [that] the man who shall kill him,
        the king shall enrich him with great riches, and shall give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
1Sa 17:26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel?
        For who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the Living GOD?
1Sa 17:27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that kills him.
1Sa 17:28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said,
        Why came Thou down here? And with whom have Thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?
        I know Thy pride, and the wickedness of Thy heart; for Thou are come down that Thou may see the battle.
1Sa 17:29 And David said, What have I now done? [Is there] not a cause?
1Sa 17:30 And he turned from him towards another, and spoke after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
1Sa 17:31 And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed [them] before Saul: and he sent for him.
1Sa 17:32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; Thy servant shall go and fight with this Philistine.
1Sa 17:33 And Saul said to David, Thou are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for Thou [are but] a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
1Sa 17:34 And David said to Saul, Thy servant shepherding his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
1Sa 17:35 and I went after him, and smote him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught [him] by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
1Sa 17:36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the Living GOD.
1Sa 17:37 And David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he shall deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.
        And Saul said to David, Go, and the LORD be with Thee.
1Sa 17:38
        And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put a helmet of bronze upon his head; also he armed him with a harness.
1Sa 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he essayed to go; for he had not proved [it]. And David said to Saul,
        I cannot go with these, for I have not proved [them]. And David put them off from him.
1Sa 17:40 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.
1Sa 17:41 And the Philistine advanced and drew near to David; and the man that bore the shield [went] before him.
1Sa 17:42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was a youth, and ruddy, and of a beautiful countenance.
1Sa 17:43 And the Philistine said to David, [Am] I a dog, that Thou come to me with staffs? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
1Sa 17:44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I shall give Thy flesh to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
1Sa 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin:
          but I come to Thee in the name of the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of the armies of Israel, whom Thou have defied.
1Sa 17:46 This day shall the LORD deliver Thee into My hand; and I shall smite Thee, and take Thy head from Thee;
        and I shall give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowls of the air, and to the animals of the Earth; that all the Earth may know that there is a GOD in Israel.
1Sa 17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD's, and He shall give you into our hands.
1Sa 17:48
        And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the army to meet the Philistine.
1Sa 17:49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and hurled it with his sling, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the ground.
1Sa 17:50 And 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.
1Sa 17:51 Therefore David ran and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head with it.
        And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
1Sa 17:52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of the valley, and to the gates of Ekron.
        And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
1Sa 17:53 And the sons of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camps.
1Sa 17:54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
1Sa 17:55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner the captain of the army, Abner, whose son [is] this youth? And Abner said, [As] Thy soul lives, king, I cannot tell.
1Sa 17:56 And the king said, Inquire Thou whose son the stripling [is].
1Sa 17:57 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.
1Sa 17:58 And Saul said to him, Whose son [are] Thou, young man? And David answered, [I am] the son of Thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.

1Sa 18:1 {David and Jonathan}.
        And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1Sa 18:2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
1Sa 18:3 Then Jonathan and David made a Covenant, because he loves him as his own soul.
1Sa 18:4 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.
1Sa 18:5 And David went out wherever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
1Sa 18:6 And it came to pass as they came, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel,
        singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music.
1Sa 18:7 And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said,
           Saul has slain his thousands,
           and David his myriads.
1Sa 18:8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said,
         They have ascribed to David myriads,
         and to me they have ascribed thousands;
         and [what] is there more for him but the kingdom?
1Sa 18:9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
1Sa 18:10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from GOD came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house:
        and David played with his hand, day by day: and [there was] a spear in Saul's hand.
1Sa 18:11
        And Saul cast the spear; for he said, I shall smite David even to the wall. And David escaped from his presence twice.
1Sa 18:12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
1Sa 18:13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
1Sa 18:14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD [was] with him.
1Sa 18:15 Therefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of Him.
1Sa 18:16 And all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
1Sa 18:17 And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her I shall give Thee for a wife: only be Thou valiant for me,
        and fight the LORD's battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
1Sa 18:18 And David said to Saul, Who [am] I? And what [is] my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?
1Sa 18:19
        And it came to pass at the time when Merab, daughter of Saul, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite [as] wife.
1Sa 18:20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
1Sa 18:21 And Saul said, I shall give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.
        And Saul said to David, Thou shall this day be my son-in-law, in [the one of] the two.
1Sa 18:22 And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king has delight in Thee, and all his servants love Thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
1Sa 18:23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seems it to you a light [thing] to be a king's son-in-law, seeing that I [am] a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
1Sa 18:24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke David.
1Sa 18:25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desires not any dower, 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.
1Sa 18:26
        And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law: and the days had not expired.
1Sa 18:27 And David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king,
        that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.
1Sa 18:28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD [was] with David, and [that] Michal, daughter of Saul, loved him.
1Sa 18:29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.
1Sa 18:30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass after they went forth,
         [that] David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much esteemed.

1Sa 19:1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
1Sa 19:2 And Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David,
        saying, Saul my father seeks to kill Thee: now, therefore, I pray Thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], and hide thyself:
1Sa 19:3 And I shall go out and stand beside my father in the field where Thou [are], and I shall commune with my father of Thee; and what I see, that I shall tell Thee.
1Sa 19:4 And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David;
        because he has not sinned against Thee, and because his works [have been] towards Thee very good:
1Sa 19:5 for he put his soul in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great Salvation for all Israel:
        Thou saw [it], and did rejoice: Why then shall Thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without cause?
1Sa 19:6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, [As] the LORD lives, he shall not be slain.
1Sa 19:7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as yesterday and before.
1Sa 19:8 And there was war again: and David went out, and fought against the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from his face.
1Sa 19:9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand: and David played with [his] hand.
1Sa 19:10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away from Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
1Sa 19:11 And Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If Thou do not save Thy soul tonight, tomorrow Thou shall be slain.
1Sa 19:12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
1Sa 19:13 And Michal took a teraphim, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' [hair] for his bolster, and covered [it] with a cloth.
1Sa 19:14 And Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, he [is] sick.
1Sa 19:15 And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
1Sa 19:16 And when the messengers had come in, behold, [there was] a teraphim in the bed, with a pillow of goats' [hair] for his bolster.
1Sa 19:17 And Saul said to Michal, Why have Thou deceived me so, and sent away my enemy, that he has escaped?
        And Michal answered Saul, he said to me, Let me go; why should I kill Thee?
1Sa 19:18 And 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.
1Sa 19:19 And it was told to Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at Naioth in Ramah.
1Sa 19:20 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.
1Sa 19:21 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.
1Sa 19:22 Then he went also to Ramah, and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And [one] said, Behold, [they are] at Naioth in Ramah.
1Sa 19:23 And he went there to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of GOD was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
1Sa 19:24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?

1Sa 20:1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan,
        What have I done? What [is] my iniquity? And what [is] my sin before Thy father, that he seeks my soul?
1Sa 20:2 And he said to him, Let it not be; Thou shall not die:
        behold, my father shall do nothing, either great or small, but that he shall show it to me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? It [is] not [so].
1Sa 20:3 And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knows that I have found grace in Thy eyes;
        and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: But truly [as] the LORD lives, and [as] Thy soul lives, [there is] only a step between me and death.
1Sa 20:4 Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever Thy soul may say, I shall even do [it] for Thee.
1Sa 20:5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, Tomorrow [is] the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third [day] at evening.
1Sa 20:6 If Thy father shall at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked [leave] of me, that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for [there is] a periodic{yearly} sacrifice there for all the family.
1Sa 20:7 If he shall say thus, [It is] well; Thy servant shall have peace: but if he shall be very wroth, [then] be sure that evil is determined by him.
1Sa 20:8 Therefore Thou shall deal kindly with Thy servant; for Thou have brought Thy servant into a Covenant of the LORD with Thee:
         but if there is in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why should Thou bring me to Thy father?
1Sa 20:9 And Jonathan said, Let it not be: for if I knew certainly that evil is determined by my father to come upon Thee, then would not I tell it Thee?
1Sa 20:10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? Or what [if] Thy father shall answer Thee roughly?
1Sa 20:11 And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
1Sa 20:12 And Jonathan said to David, May the LORD, God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about tomorrow any time, [or] the third [day], and behold, [if there be] good towards David, and I then send not to Thee, and show it Thee.
1Sa 20:13 May the LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it shall please my father [to do] Thee evil, then I shall show it to Thee,
        and send Thee away, that Thou may go in peace: and the LORD be with Thee, as he has been with my father.
1Sa 20:14 And Thou shall, not only while yet I live, show me the kindness of the LORD, that I may not die:
1Sa 20:15 and Thou shall not withdraw Thy kindness from my house forever: no, not when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the Earth.
1Sa 20:16 So Jonathan made [a Covenant] with the House of David, [saying], Let the LORD even require [it] at the hand of [the] enemies of David.
1Sa 20:17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loves him: for he loved him as he loves his own soul.
1Sa 20:18 And Jonathan said [to him], Tomorrow [is] the New Moon: and Thou shall be missed, because Thy seat shall be empty.
1Sa 20:19 And [when] Thou have stayed three days, [then] Thou shall go down quickly, and come to the place where Thou did hide thyself when the business was [in hand], and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
1Sa 20:20 And I shall shoot three arrows on the side [of it], as though I shot at a mark.
1Sa 20:21 And behold, I shall send a lad, [saying], Go, find the arrows.
        If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of Thee, take them; then come Thou: for [there is] peace to Thee, and no hurt; [as] the LORD lives.
1Sa 20:22 But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows [are] beyond Thee; go Thy way: for the LORD has sent Thee away.
1Sa 20:23 And [as to] the matter which Thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD [be] between Thee and me forever.
1Sa 20:24 And David hid himself in the field: and when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat food.
1Sa 20:25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
1Sa 20:26 And Saul spoke not anything that day: for he thought, Something has befallen him, he [is] not clean; surely he [is] not clean.
1Sa 20:27
        And it came to pass on the second morrow of the New Moon, that David's place was empty:
        and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why comes not the son of Jesse to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?
1Sa 20:28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked [leave] of me [to go] to Beth-lehem.
1Sa 20:29 And he said, Let me go, I pray Thee; for our family has a sacrifice in the city;
          and my brother he has commanded me [to be there]: and now if I have found grace in Thy eyes,
        let me get away, I pray Thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he comes not to the king's table.
1Sa 20:30 And Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him,
        Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman], do not I know that Thou have chosen the son of Jesse to Thy own confusion, and to the confusion of Thy mother's nakedness?
1Sa 20:31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the Earth, Thou shall not be established, nor Thy kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he [is] a son of death.
1Sa 20:32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? What has he done?
1Sa 20:33 And Saul cast a spear at him to smite him: by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to slay David.
1Sa 20:34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
1Sa 20:35 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.
1Sa 20:36 And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. As the lad ran, he shot an arrow, beyond him.
1Sa 20:37 And when the lad had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, [Is] not the arrow beyond Thee?
1Sa 20:38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
1Sa 20:39 But the lad knew not anything: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
1Sa 20:40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry [them] to the city.
1Sa 20:41 As soon as the lad was gone, and David arose out of [a place] towards the south,
        and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times:
        and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
1Sa 20:42
        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 forever.
        And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.

1Sa 21:1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to him, Why [are] Thou alone, and no man with Thee?
1Sa 21:2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business about which I send Thee,
        and what I have commanded Thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
1Sa 21:3 And now what is under Thy hand? Give me five [loaves of] bread in my hand, or what there is present.
1Sa 21:4 And the priest answered David, and said, [There is] no common bread under my hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
1Sa 21:5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, Surely, if 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, yes, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
1Sa 21:6 So the priest gave him hallowed [bread]: for there was no bread there but the show-bread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
1Sa 21:7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul [was] there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name [was] Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen that [belonged] to Saul.
1Sa 21:8 And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under Thy hand a spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
1Sa 21:9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom Thou struck in the valley of Elah, behold, it [is here] wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod:
        if Thou will take that, take [it]: for [there is] no other but that here. And David said, [There is] none like that; give it to me.
1Sa 21:10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
1Sa 21:11 And the servants of Achish said to him, [Is] not this David the king of the land?
        Did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying,
         Saul has slain his thousands,
         and David his myriads?
1Sa 21:12
        And David laid up these words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
1Sa 21:13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
1Sa 21:14 Then said Achish to his servants, Behold, ye see the man is mad: why [then] have ye brought him to me?
1Sa 21:15 Have I need of mad-men, that ye have brought this [man] to play the mad-man in my presence? Shall this [man] come into my house?

1Sa 22:1 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 there to him.
1Sa 22:2 And every man [that was] in distress, and every man that [was] in debt, and every man [that was] bitter of soul, resorted to him;
        and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
1Sa 22:3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab,
        Let my father and my mother, I pray Thee, come forth, [and be] with you, until I know what GOD shall do for me.
1Sa 22:4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
1Sa 22:5 And the prophet Gad said to David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and come into the land of Judah.
        Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
1Sa 22:6 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that [were] with him,
        (now Saul abode in Gibeah under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants [were] standing about him).
1Sa 22:7 And Saul said to his servants that stood about him,
        Hear now, ye Benjaminites; shall the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, [and] make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds.
1Sa 22:8 That all of you have conspired against me, and [there is] none that shows me that my son has made a league with the son of Jesse,
        and [there is] none of you that is sorry for me, or shows to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
1Sa 22:9
        Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul,
        and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
1Sa 22:10 And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him provision, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
1Sa 22:11 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.
1Sa 22:12 And Saul said, Hear now, Thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Behold me, my lord.
1Sa 22:13 And Saul said to him, Why have ye conspired against me, Thou and the son of Jesse,
        in that Thou have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of GOD for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
1Sa 22:14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who [is so] faithful among all Thy servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and goes at Thy bidding, and is honourable in Thy house?
1Sa 22:15 Did I then begin to inquire of GOD for him? Let it not be.
          Let not the king impute [any] thing to his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father: for Thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
1Sa 22:16 And the king said, Dying, Thou shall die, Ahimelech, Thou, and all Thy father's house.
1Sa 22:17 And the king said to the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD:
        because their hand also [is] with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not show it to me.
        But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
1Sa 22:18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn Thou, and fall upon the priests.
        And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day eighty five men that wore a linen ephod.
1Sa 22:19 And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword,
          both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
1Sa 22:20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
1Sa 22:21 And Abiathar showed David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
1Sa 22:22 And David said to Abiathar, I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite [was] there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the souls of Thy father's house.
1Sa 22:23 Abide Thou with me, fear not: for he who seeks my soul seeks Thy soul: but with me Thou [shall be] in safeguard.

1Sa 23:1 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshing-floors.
1Sa 23:2 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said to David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
1Sa 23:3 And David's men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
1Sa 23:4 And David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him, and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I shall deliver the Philistines into Thy hand.
1Sa 23:5 And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. And David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
1Sa 23:6
        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.
1Sa 23:7 And it was told to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, GOD has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars.
1Sa 23:8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
1Sa 23:9 And David knew that Saul secretly plotted mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod.
1Sa 23:10 Then said David, May the LORD, God of Israel, Thy servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
1Sa 23:11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down as Thy servant has heard? LORD, God of Israel, I beseech Thee, tell Thy servant. And the LORD said, He shall come down.
1Sa 23:12 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They shall deliver [Thee] up.
1Sa 23:13 Then David and his men [who were] about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and went wherever they could go.
        And it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah: and he forbore to go forth.
1Sa 23:14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph.
        And Saul sought him every day, but GOD delivered him not into his hand.
1Sa 23:15 And David saw that Saul had come out to seek his soul: and David [was] in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
1Sa 23:16 And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in GOD.
1Sa 23:17 And he said to him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find Thee; and Thou shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to Thee; and that also Saul my father knows.
1Sa 23:18 And they two made a Covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
1Sa 23:19 Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, does not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] on the right{south} of Jeshimon?
1Sa 23:20 And now, 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.
1Sa 23:21 And Saul said, Blessed [be] ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me!
1Sa 23:22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know, and see his place where his feet{haunt} shall be, [and] who has seen him there: for it is told to me [that] he deals very subtle.
1Sa 23:23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking-places where he hides himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty,
        and I shall go with you: and it shall be, if he is in the land, that I shall search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
1Sa 23:24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men [were] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the right{south} of Jeshimon.
1Sa 23:25 Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: therefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon.
        And when Saul heard [that], he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
1Sa 23:26 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 surround David and his men to take them.
1Sa 23:27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste Thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
1Sa 23:28 Therefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammah-lekoth{Rock of Divisions}.

1Sa 23:29 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at En-gedi.
1Sa 24:1
        And it came to pass, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told to him, saying, Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.
1Sa 24:2 And 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.
1Sa 24:3 And he came to the sheep-cotes 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.
1Sa 24:4 And the men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to Thee,
        Behold, I shall deliver Thy enemy into Thy hand, that Thou may do to him as it shall seem good to Thee. And David arose, and privately cut off the skirt of Saul's robe.
1Sa 24:5
        And it came to pass after this, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
1Sa 24:6 And he said to his men, The LORD let it not be that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD's anointed,
         to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he [is] the anointed of the LORD.
1Sa 24:7 And David restrained his servants with these words, and allowed them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way.
1Sa 24:8 David also rose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, my lord the king.
        And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
1Sa 24:9 And David said to Saul, Why hear Thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeks Thy hurt?
1Sa 24:10 Behold, this day Thy eyes have seen how the LORD has delivered Thee today into my hand in the cave;
        and [some] bade me kill Thee: but my [eye] spared Thee; and I said, I shall not put forth my hand against my lord; for he [is] the LORD's anointed.
1Sa 24:11 And my father, see, yes, see the skirt of Thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of Thy robe,
        and killed Thee not, know Thou and see that [there is] neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against Thee; yet Thou hunt my soul to take it.
1Sa 24:12 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of Thee: but my hand shall not be upon Thee.
1Sa 24:13 As said the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceeds from the wicked: but my hand shall not be upon Thee.
1Sa 24:14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? After whom do Thou pursue? After a dead dog, after a flea?
1Sa 24:15 May the LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and Thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of Thy hand.
1Sa 24:16
        And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this Thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
1Sa 24:17 And he said to David, Thou [are] more righteous than I: for Thou have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded Thee with evil.
1Sa 24:18 And Thou have showed this day how Thou have dealt with me; forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into Thy hand, Thou did not kill me.
1Sa 24:19 For if a man finds his enemy, shall he let him go away well? Therefore the LORD reward Thee with good, for what Thou have done to me this day.
1Sa 24:20 And now, behold, I know well that Thou shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in Thy hand.
1Sa 24:21 Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that Thou shall not cut off my seed after me, and that Thou shall not destroy my name out of my father's house.
1Sa 24:22 And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men repaired to the hold.

1Sa 25:1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites assembled, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
1Sa 25:2 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.
1Sa 25:3 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.
1Sa 25:4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
1Sa 25:5 And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
1Sa 25:6 and thus shall ye say to him that lives [in prosperity], Peace [be] both to Thee, and peace [be] to Thy house, and peace [be] to all that Thou have.
1Sa 25:7 And now I have heard that Thou have shearers: now Thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel.
1Sa 25:8 Ask Thy young men, and they shall show Thee. Therefore let the young men find grace in Thy eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray Thee, whatever comes to Thy hand, to Thy servants, and to Thy son David.
1Sa 25:9 And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal in the name of David, according to all these words, and ceased.
1Sa 25:10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who [is] David? And who [is] the son of Jesse?
        There are many servants in these days that break away every man from his master.
1Sa 25:11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men, whom I know not whence they [are]?
1Sa 25:12 And David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and told him all these sayings.
1Sa 25:13 And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword:
        and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the goods.
1Sa 25:14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to bless our Lord; and he railed at them.
1Sa 25:15 But the men [were] very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
1Sa 25:16 they were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
1Sa 25:17 And now know and consider what Thou shall 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.
1Sa 25:18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five seahs of parched [grain], and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid [them] on asses.
1Sa 25:19 And she said to her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
1Sa 25:20 And it was [so], [as] she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the mountain, and behold, David and his men came down opposed to her; and she met them;
1Sa 25:21 (now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [man] has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that [pertained] to him: and he has requited me evil for good.
1Sa 25:22 So and more also do GOD to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that [pertain] to him by the morning light [by] wall-pissers{males}).
1Sa 25:23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
1Sa 25:24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me [let this] iniquity [be]: and let Thy handmaid, I pray Thee, speak in Thy audience, and hear the words of Thy handmaid.
1Sa 25:25 Let not my lord, I pray Thee, set his heart to this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name [is], so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and foolishness [is] with him:
        but I, Thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom Thou did send.
1Sa 25:26 And now, my lord, [as] the LORD lives, and [as] Thy soul lives, seeing the LORD has withheld Thee from coming to [shed] blood,
        and from avenging thyself with Thy own hand, now let Thy enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
1Sa 25:27 And now this blessing which Thy handmaid has brought to my lord, let it even be given to the young men that follow the steps of my lord.
1Sa 25:28 I pray Thee, forgive the trespass of Thy handmaid: for the LORD shall certainly make my lord a sure house;
        because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil has not been found in Thee [all] Thy days.
1Sa 25:29 Yet a man has risen to pursue Thee, and to seek Thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD Thy God;
        and the souls of Thy enemies, them shall he sling out, [as from] the middle of a sling.
1Sa 25:30 And it shall be, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning Thee, and shall have appointed Thee ruler over Israel;
1Sa 25:31 that this shall be no grief to Thee, nor offence of heart to my lord, either that Thou have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself:
        but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember Thy handmaid.
1Sa 25:32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel, who sent Thee this day to meet me:
1Sa 25:33 and blessed [be] Thy advice, and blessed [be] Thou, who have kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging myself by my hand!
1Sa 25:34 For indeed, [as] the LORD, God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting Thee, except Thou had hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light [by] wall-pissers{males}.
1Sa 25:35 And David received from her hand [that] which she had brought him, and said to her, Return in peace to Thy house; see, I have listened to Thy voice, and have accepted Thy person.
1Sa 25:36 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: Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
1Sa 25:37
        And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine had left Nabal, and his wife had told him these [things], that his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
1Sa 25:38 And it came to pass about ten days [after], that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
1Sa 25:39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, and he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, that has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal,
        and has kept His servant from evil: for the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head! And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to himself for a wife.
1Sa 25:40 And when the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to Thee, to take Thee to him for a wife.
1Sa 25:41 And she arose, and bowed herself on [her] face to the ground, and said, Behold, [let] Thy handmaid [be] a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
1Sa 25:42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that follow her steps; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
1Sa 25:43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
1Sa 25:44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who [was] of Gallim.

1Sa 26:1 And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, [which is] before Jeshimon?
1Sa 26:2 And 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.
1Sa 26:3 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.
1Sa 26:4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had come indeed.
1Sa 26:5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner, the son of Ner,
        the captain of his army: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched around him.
1Sa 26:6 Then answered David, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab,
        saying, Who shall go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I shall go down with Thee.
1Sa 26:7 And 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 about him.
1Sa 26:8 Then said Abishai to David, GOD has delivered Thy enemy into Thy hand this day; now therefore let me smite him, I pray Thee, with the spear, even to the ground at once, and I shall not [smite] him the second time.
1Sa 26:9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD's anointed and be guiltless?
1Sa 26:10 And David said, [As] the LORD lives, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle and perish.
1Sa 26:11 The LORD let it not be that I should stretch out my 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.
1Sa 26:12 And David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster;
        and they departed, and no man saw [it], nor knew [it], neither awoke: for they [were] all asleep: because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them.
1Sa 26:13 And David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a mountain afar off; a great space [being] between them:
1Sa 26:14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, answer Thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who [are] Thou [that] cry to the king?
1Sa 26:15 And David said to Abner, [Are] not Thou a [valiant] man? And who [is] like to Thee in Israel?
        Why then have Thou not kept Thy lord the king? For there came in one of the people to destroy the king Thy lord.
1Sa 26:16 This thing [is] not good that Thou have done. [As] the LORD lives, [ye are] sons of death, 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.
1Sa 26:17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, [Is] this Thy voice, my son David? And David said, [It is] my voice, my lord, king.
1Sa 26:18 And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil [is] in my hand?
1Sa 26:19 And now, I pray Thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD has stirred Thee up against me, let him accept an offering:
        but if [they are] the sons 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.
1Sa 26:20 And now, let not my blood fall to the ground before the Face of the LORD: for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one does hunt a partridge in the mountains.
1Sa 26:21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I shall no more do Thee harm, because my soul was precious in Thy eyes this day: behold I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
1Sa 26:22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! And let one of the young men come over and take it.
1Sa 26:23 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 out my hand against the LORD's anointed.
1Sa 26:24 And behold, as Thy soul was precious this day in my eyes, so let my soul be precious in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
1Sa 26:25 And Saul said to David, Blessed [be] Thou, my son David: Thou shall both do great [things], and also shall still prevail! And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

1Sa 27:1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: [there is] nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines;
        and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any border of Israel; so shall I escape from his hand.
1Sa 27:2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that [were] with him to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
1Sa 27:3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess Nabal's wife.
1Sa 27:4 And it was told to Saul that David had fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
1Sa 27:5 And David said to Achish, If I have now found grace in Thy eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should Thy servant dwell in the royal city with Thee?
1Sa 27:6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag pertains to the kings of Judah to this day.
1Sa 27:7 And the number of days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
1Sa 27:8 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 go to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
1Sa 27:9 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.
1Sa 27:10 And Achish said, where have ye made raids today? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
1Sa 27:11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring [tidings] to Gath, saying, Lest they should inform against us,
        saying, So did David, and so [shall be] his manner all the while he dwells in the country of the Philistines.
1Sa 27:12 And Achish believed David, saying, he has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant forever.

1Sa 28:1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines collected their armies for warfare, to fight with Israel.
        And Achish said to David, Know Thou assuredly, that Thou shall go out with me to battle, Thou and Thy men.
1Sa 28:2 And David said to Achish, Surely, Thou shall know what Thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore shall I make Thee keeper of my head forever.
1Sa 28:3 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 mediums, and the spiritists, out of the land.
1Sa 28:4 And the Philistines assembled, and came and encamped in Shunem: and Saul collected all Israel, and they encamped in Gilboa.
1Sa 28:5 And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
1Sa 28:6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
1Sa 28:7 Then said Saul to his servants, seek me a woman that has 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 has a familiar spirit at En-Dor.
1Sa 28:8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other clothing, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night:
        and he said, I pray Thee, divine to me by the familiar spirit, and bring up for me whom I shall name to Thee.
1Sa 28:9 And the woman said to him, Behold, Thou know what Saul has done, how he has cut off mediums and spiritists, out of the land: Why then lay Thou a snare for my soul, to cause me to die?
1Sa 28:10 And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, [As] the LORD lives, there shall no punishment happen to Thee for this thing.
1Sa 28:11 Then said the woman, whom shall I bring up to Thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
1Sa 28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a great voice: and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why have Thou deceived me? For Thou [are] Saul.
1Sa 28:13 And the king said to her be not afraid: for what saw Thou? And the woman said to Saul, I saw GODS ascending out of the Earth.
1Sa 28:14 And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, An old man comes 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.
1Sa 28:15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why have Thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I [am] grievously distressed; for the Philistines make war against me,
        and GOD has departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by the hand of the prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called Thee, that Thou may make known to me what I shall do.
1Sa 28:16 Then said Samuel, Why then do Thou ask of me, seeing the LORD has departed from Thee, and has become Thy enemy?
1Sa 28:17 And the LORD has done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD has rent the kingdom out of Thy hand, and given it to Thy neighbour, to David:
1Sa 28:18 because Thou did not obey the voice of the LORD, nor execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore has the LORD done this thing to Thee this day.
1Sa 28:19 And the LORD shall also deliver Israel with Thee into the hand of the Philistines:
        and tomorrow [shall] Thou and Thy sons [be] with me: the LORD also shall deliver the camp of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
1Sa 28:20 And Saul fell immediately all along on the ground, and was exceedingly afraid, because of the words of Samuel:
        and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
1Sa 28:21 And the woman came to Saul, and saw that he was greatly troubled, and said to him,
        Behold, Thy handmaid has obeyed Thy voice, and I have put my soul in my hand, and have listened to Thy words, which Thou did speak.
1Sa 28:22 And now, I pray Thee, listen Thou also to the voice of Thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before Thee; and eat, that Thou may have strength, when Thou go on Thy way.
1Sa 28:23 But he refused, and said, I shall not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the Earth, and sat upon the bed.
1Sa 28:24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house: and she hasted and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded [it], and baked Unleavened [Bread] of it.
1Sa 28:25 And she brought [it] before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they arose and went away that night.

1Sa 29:1 Now the Philistines collected all their camps to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which [is] in Jezreel.
1Sa 29:2 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
1Sa 29:3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What [do] these Hebrews [here]? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, [Is] not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel,
        who has been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell [to me] to this day?
1Sa 29:4 And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him,
        Make this man return, that he may go back to his place which Thou have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he should be an adversary to us:
        for with what would he reconcile himself to his master? [Would it] not [be] with the heads of these men?
1Sa 29:5 [Is] not this David, of whom they sung one to another in dances, saying,
         Saul slew his thousands,
         and David his myriads?
1Sa 29:6 Then Achish called David, and said to him,
        Surely, [as] the LORD lives, Thou have been upright, and Thy going out and Thy coming in with me in the camp [is] good in my eyes:
        for I have not found evil in Thee from the day of Thy coming to me to this day: but in the eyes of the princes Thou are not good.
1Sa 29:7 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that Thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
1Sa 29:8 And David said to Achish, But what have I done? And what have Thou found in Thy servant, so long as I have been with Thee to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king.
1Sa 29:9 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that Thou [are] good in my eyes, as an Angel of GOD:
         nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, he shall not go up with us to the battle.
1Sa 29:10 Therefore now rise early in the morning with Thy master's servants that are come with Thee: and as soon as ye shall have risen early in the morning, and have light, depart.
1Sa 29:11 And David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

1Sa 30:1 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;
1Sa 30:2 and had taken the women captives that [were] in it, they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on their way.
1Sa 30:3 And 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.
1Sa 30:4 Then David and the people that [were] with him, lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
1Sa 30:5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
1Sa 30:6 And David was greatly distressed: for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons, and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
1Sa 30:7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray Thee bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought there the ephod to David.
1Sa 30:8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for Thou shall surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
1Sa 30:9 And David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind remained.
1Sa 30:10 But David pursued, he four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor;
1Sa 30:11 and they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they made him drink water;
1Sa 30:12 and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came back to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drank [any] water, three days and three nights.
1Sa 30:13 And David said to him, To whom [belong] Thou? And whence [are] Thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
1Sa 30:14 We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongs] to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
1Sa 30:15 And David said to him, Can Thou conduct me down to this company?
          And he said, Swear to me by GOD, that Thou shall neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I shall lead Thee down to this company.
1Sa 30:16 And when he had conducted him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the Earth,
        eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.
1Sa 30:17 And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, except four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
1Sa 30:18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
1Sa 30:19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
1Sa 30:20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil.
1Sa 30:21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor:
        and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
1Sa 30:22 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 shall not give them [aught] of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his sons, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.
1Sa 30:23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD has given us, who has preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
1Sa 30:24 For who shall listen to you in this matter? But as his part [is] that goes down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarries by the goods: they shall part alike.
1Sa 30:25 And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
1Sa 30:26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you, of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
1Sa 30:27 to [them] who [were] in Beth-El, and to [them] who [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] who [were] in Jattir,
1Sa 30:28 and to [them] who [were] in Aroer, and to [them] who [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] who [were] in Eshtemoa,
1Sa 30:29 and to [them] who [were] in Rachal, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Kenites,
1Sa 30:30 and to [them] who [were] in Hormah, and to [them] who [were] in Chor-ashan, and to [them] who [were] in Athach,
1Sa 30:31 and to [them] who [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to resort.

1Sa 31:1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in Mount Gilboa.
1Sa 31:2 And the Philistines pursued Saul and his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
1Sa 31:3 And the battle was severe against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.
1Sa 31:4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw Thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me.
        But his armour-bearer would not; for he was very afraid. And Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
1Sa 31:5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
1Sa 31:6 And Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that day together.
1Sa 31:7 And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side of the 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.
1Sa 31:8
        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.
1Sa 31:9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines around, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people.
1Sa 31:10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
1Sa 31:11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
1Sa 31:12 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.
1Sa 31:13 And they took their bones, and buried [them] under the tamarisk-tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

2Sa 1:1 [Scroll 07 Samuel-Kings (Samuel 2)].
        And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites,
        and David had abode two days in Ziklag.
2Sa 1:2 And 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 ground upon his head: and [so] it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground, and did obeisance.
2Sa 1:3 And David said to him, Whence come Thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel have I escaped.
2Sa 1:4 And David said to him, How went the matter? I pray Thee, tell me. And he said, that the people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen, and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
2Sa 1:5 And David said to the young man that told him, How know Thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
2Sa 1:6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen pursued him.
2Sa 1:7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Behold me.
2Sa 1:8 And he said to me, Who [are] Thou? And I answered him, I [am] an Amalekite.
2Sa 1:9 He said to me, Stand, I pray Thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my soul [is] yet whole in me.
2Sa 1:10 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen: and I took the crown that [was] upon his head, and armlet that [was] on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.
2Sa 1:11 And David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that [were] with him:
2Sa 1:12 and they mourned and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the House of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.
2Sa 1:13 And David said to the young man that told him, Whence [are] Thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
2Sa 1:14 And David said to him, How were Thou not afraid to stretch out Thy hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
2Sa 1:15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, [and] fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
2Sa 1:16 And David said to him, Thy blood [be] upon Thy head; for Thy mouth has testified against Thee, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.
2Sa 1:17
        And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son:
2Sa 1:18 (also he bade them teach the sons of Judah [the use of] the bow:
        behold, [it is] written in the Book of Jasher).
        {Song of the Bow}.
2Sa 1:19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon Thy high places:
        how are the mighty fallen!
2Sa 1:20 Tell [it] not in Gath,
        publish [it] not in the streets of Ashkelon;
        lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
        lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
2Sa 1:21
        Ye mountains of Gilboa, [let there be] no dew,
        neither rain upon you, nor fields of offerings:
        for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away,
        the shield of Saul, [as though he had] not [been] anointed with oil.
2Sa 1:22
        From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty,
        the bow of Jonathan turned not back,
        and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
2Sa 1:23 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.
2Sa 1:24
        Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
        who clothed you in scarlet, with [other] delights,
        who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
2Sa 1:25 How are the mighty fallen in the middle of the battle!
        Jonathan Thou [were] slain in Thy high places.
2Sa 1:26
        I [am] distressed for Thee, my brother Jonathan:
        very pleasant have Thou been to me:
        Thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
2Sa 1:27 How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

2Sa 2:1 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 to him,
        Go up. And David said, where shall I go up? And he said, To Hebron.
2Sa 2:2 And David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
2Sa 2:3 And his men that [were] with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
2Sa 2:4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the House of Judah.
        And they told David, saying, [that] the men of Jabesh-Gilead [were they] that buried Saul.
2Sa 2:5 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them,
        Blessed [be] ye of the LORD, that ye have shown this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!
2Sa 2:6 And now the LORD show kindness and truth to you: and I also shall requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
2Sa 2:7 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.

2Sa 2:8 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
2Sa 2:9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
2Sa 2:10 Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, [was] forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years: but the House of Judah followed David.
2Sa 2:11 And the number of days that David was king in Hebron, over the House of Judah, was seven years and six months.
2Sa 2:12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
2Sa 2:13 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.
2Sa 2:14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
2Sa 2:15 Then there arose, and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, who [pertained] to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
2Sa 2:16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side: so they fell down together:
        therefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim{field of edges}, which [is] in Gibeon.
2Sa 2:17 And there was a very severe battle that day; and Abner was defeated, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
2Sa 2:18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel [was as] light of foot as a wild roe.
2Sa 2:19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
2Sa 2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, [Are] Thou Asahel? And he answered, I [am].
2Sa 2:21 And Abner said to him, Turn Thee aside to Thy right hand or to Thy left, and lay hold on one of the young men, and take to Thee his armour.
        But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
2Sa 2:22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn Thee aside from following me: Why should I smite Thee to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab Thy brother?
2Sa 2:23 But he refused to turn aside: therefore 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.
2Sa 2:24 Joab also, and Abishai pursued Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that [lies] before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
2Sa 2:25 And the sons of Benjamin assembled themselves after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill.
2Sa 2:26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour forever? Know Thou not that it shall be bitterness in the latter end?
        Until when shall it be then, before Thou shall bid the people return from following their brethren?
2Sa 2:27 And Joab said, [As] GOD lives, unless Thou had spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
2Sa 2:28 And Joab blew a shofar and all the people stood still, and pursued Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
2Sa 2:29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
2Sa 2:30 And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had assembled all the people, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.
2Sa 2:31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, [so that] three hundred sixty men died.
2Sa 2:32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which [was in] Beth-lehem.
        And Joab and his men went all night, and the light broke upon them at Hebron.
2Sa 3:1 Now there was long war between the House of Saul and the House of David:
        but David grew stronger and stronger, and the House of Saul became weaker and weaker.

2Sa 3:2 And to David were sons born in Hebron:
        and his first-born was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
2Sa 3:3 and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite;
        and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
2Sa 3:4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith;
        and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
2Sa 3:5 and the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife.
        These were born to David in Hebron.
2Sa 3:6
        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.
2Sa 3:7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name [was] Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and [Ish-bosheth] said to Abner,
        Why have Thou gone in to my father's concubine?
2Sa 3:8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth,
        and said, [Am] I a dog's head, who against Judah do show kindness this day to the House of Saul Thy father,
        to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered Thee into the hand of David, that Thou charge me today with a fault concerning this woman?
2Sa 3:9 May GOD do so to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD has sworn to David, even so I do to him;
2Sa 3:10 to transfer the kingdom from the House of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba.
2Sa 3:11 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
2Sa 3:12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying,
        Whose [is] the land? Saying, Make Thy league with me,
        and behold, my hand [shall be] with Thee, to bring about all Israel to Thee.
2Sa 3:13 And he said, Good; I shall make a league with Thee:
        but one thing I require of Thee, that is, Thou shall not see my face,
        except Thou shall first bring Michal, daughter of Saul, when Thou come to see my face.
2Sa 3:14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying,
        Deliver to me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
2Sa 3:15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from [her] husband, from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
2Sa 3:16 And her husband went with her, weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner to him, Go, return. And he returned.
2Sa 3:17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David yesterday and before [to be] king over you:
2Sa 3:18 now then do [it]: for the LORD has spoken of David,
        saying, By the hand of my servant David I shall save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and from the hand of all their enemies.
2Sa 3:19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin:
        and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole House of Benjamin.
2Sa 3:20 So Abner came to David in Hebron, and twenty men with him: and David made Abner and the men that [were] with him, a feast.
2Sa 3:21 And Abner said to David, I shall arise and go, and shall gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a league with Thee,
        and that Thou may reign over all that Thy soul desires. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
2Sa 3:22
        And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from [pursuing] a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them:
        but Abner [was] not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
2Sa 3:23 When Joab and all the army that [was] with him had come, they told Joab,
        saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.
2Sa 3:24 And Joab came to the king, and said, What have Thou done?
        Behold, Abner came to Thee; why [is] it [that] Thou have sent him away, and he is quite gone?
2Sa 3:25 Thou know 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 do.
2Sa 3:26 And when Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner,
        who brought him back from the well of Sirah: but David knew [it] not.
2Sa 3:27 And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly,
        and smote him there under the fifth [rib] that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
2Sa 3:28 And afterward when David heard [it]. He said, I and my kingdom [are] guiltless before the LORD forever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
2Sa 3:29 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 has an issue,
        or that is a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls on the sword, or that lacks bread.
2Sa 3:30 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
2Sa 3:31 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.
2Sa 3:32 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.
2Sa 3:33
        And the king lamented over Abner,
        and said, Dead, as a fool dies Abner?
2Sa 3:34 Thy hands [were] not bound,
        nor Thy feet put into copper fetters:
        as a man falls before wicked men, [so] fell Thou.
        And all the people wept again over him.

2Sa 3:35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat food while it was yet day.
        And David swore, saying, So do GOD to me, and more also, If I taste bread or aught else, before the sun is down.
2Sa 3:36 And all the people took notice [of it], and it pleased them: as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
2Sa 3:37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
2Sa 3:38 And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there has a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
2Sa 3:39 And I [am] this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah [are] too hard for me.
        The LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
2Sa 4:1
        And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all Israel were troubled.
2Sa 4:2 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 sons of Benjamin: (For Beeroth also was counted to Benjamin:
2Sa 4:3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day).
2Sa 4:4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son [that was] lame of [his] feet:
        he was five years old when the report 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.
2Sa 4:5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went,
        and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
2Sa 4:6 And they came there into the middle 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.
2Sa 4:7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bed-chamber,
        and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went away through the plain all night.
2Sa 4:8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king,
        Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul Thy enemy, who sought Thy soul;
        and the LORD has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and of his seed.
2Sa 4:9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite,
        and said to them, [As] the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
2Sa 4:10 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:
2Sa 4:11 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?
2Sa 4:12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] over the pool in Hebron.
        But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried [it] in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.

2Sa 5:1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we [are] Thy bone and Thy flesh.
2Sa 5:2 Also yesterday and before, even when Saul was king over us, Thou were he who led out and brought in Israel:
        and the LORD said to Thee, Thou shall feed my people Israel, and Thou shall be a captain over Israel.
2Sa 5:3 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.
2Sa 5:4 David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, [and] he reigned forty years.
2Sa 5:5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty three years over all Israel and Judah.
2Sa 5:6
        And the king and his men went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spoke to David,
        saying, Except Thou shall take away the blind and the lame, Thou shall not come in here: thinking, David cannot to come in here.
2Sa 5:7 And David took the strong hold of Zion: which [is] the city of David.
2Sa 5:8 And David said on that day, Whoever gets up to the gutter, and smites the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, [that are] hated by David's soul,
        he [shall be chief and captain]: Therefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
2Sa 5:9 And David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built around from Millo and inward.
2Sa 5:10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD, God of Sabaoth [was] with him.
2Sa 5:11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built David a house.
2Sa 5:12 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.
2Sa 5:13
        And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
2Sa 5:14 And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
2Sa 5:15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
2Sa 5:16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

2Sa 5:17 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.
2Sa 5:18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
2Sa 5:19 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? Will Thou deliver them into my hand?
        And the LORD said to David, Go up: for I shall doubtless deliver the Philistines into Thy hand.
2Sa 5:20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD has broken forth upon my enemies before me,
        as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
2Sa 5:21 And there they left their images, and David and his men took them away.
2Sa 5:22 And the Philistines came yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
2Sa 5:23 And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shall not go up: [but] turn around to their rear, and come upon them opposed to the mulberry-trees.
2Sa 5:24 And let it be, when Thou hear the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry-trees,
        that then Thou shall bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before Thee, to smite the camp of the Philistines.
2Sa 5:25 David did so as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until Thou come to Gazer.

2Sa 6:1 And David assembled all [the] chosen [men] of Israel, thirty thousand.
2Sa 6:2 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 Sabaoth that dwells [between] the cherubim.
2Sa 6:3 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 Uzza and Ahio the sons of Abinadab drove the new cart.
2Sa 6:4 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.
2Sa 6:5 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 sistra, and on cymbals.
2Sa 6:6 And when they came to Nachon's threshing-floor, Uzza put forth [his hand] to the Ark of GOD, and took hold of it: for the oxen stumbled.
2Sa 6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and GOD smote him there for [his] error; and there he died by the Ark of GOD.
2Sa 6:8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: and called the place Perez-Uzza to this day.
2Sa 6:9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the Ark of the LORD come to me?
2Sa 6:10 And David would not remove the Ark of the LORD to him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
2Sa 6:11 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.
2Sa 6:12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that [pertains] to him, because of the Ark of GOD.
        And David went and brought up the Ark of GOD from the house of Obed-Edom into the city of David with gladness.
2Sa 6:13 And it was [so], that when they that bore the Ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
2Sa 6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all [his] might; and David [was] girded with a linen ephod.
2Sa 6:15 And David and all the House of Israel brought up the Ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the voice of the shofar.
2Sa 6:16 And as the Ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal, daughter of Saul, looked through a window,
        and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
2Sa 6:17 And they brought in the Ark of the LORD, and set it in its place,
        in the middle of the Tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.
2Sa 6:18 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 Sabaoth.
2Sa 6:19 And he dealt among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men,
        to each a cake of bread, and one date cake and one raisin cake. [So] all the people departed every one to his house.

2Sa 6:20 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 uncovers himself!
2Sa 6:21 And David said to Michal, [It was] before the LORD, who chose me before Thy father, and before all his house,
        to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore shall I play before the LORD.
2Sa 6:22 And I shall yet be more vile than thus, and shall be base in my own sight: and by the maid-servants which Thou have spoken of, by them shall I be had in honour.
2Sa 6:23 Therefore Michal, daughter of Saul, had no child until the day of her death.
2Sa 7:1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest around from all his enemies;
2Sa 7:2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the Ark of GOD dwells within curtains.
2Sa 7:3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that [is] in Thy heart: for the LORD [is] with Thee.
2Sa 7:4
        And it came to pass the same night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,
2Sa 7:5 Go and tell My servant David, Thus says the LORD, Shall Thou build Me a House for Me to dwell in?
2Sa 7:6 Whereas I have not dwelt in [any] House since the time that I brought the sons of Israel out of Egypt,
        until this day, but have walked in a tent, and in a Tabernacle.
2Sa 7:7 In all [the places] in which I have walked with all the sons of Israel have I spoken a word with any of the tribes of Israel,
        whom I commanded to feed My people Israel, saying, Why do ye not build me a house of cedar?
2Sa 7:8 And now so shall Thou say to My servant David, thus says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        I took Thee from the sheep-cote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel:
2Sa 7:9 and I was with Thee wherever Thou went, and have cut off all Thy enemies out of Thy sight,
        and have made Thee a great name, like to the name of the great [men] that [are] in the Earth.
2Sa 7:10 And I shall appoint a place for My people Israel, and shall plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own,
        and move no more; neither shall the sons of wickedness afflict them any more, as formerly.
2Sa 7:11 And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over My people Israel, and have caused Thee to rest from all Thy enemies.
        Also the LORD tells Thee that he shall make Thee a house.
2Sa 7:12 And when Thy days shall be fulfilled, and Thou shall sleep with Thy fathers,
        I shall set up Thy seed after Thee, which shall proceed out of Thy bowels, and I shall establish His kingdom.
2Sa 7:13 He shall build a House for My name, and I shall establish the throne of His Kingdom forever.
2Sa 7:14 I shall be to Him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son.
        If he shall commit iniquity, I shall chasten him with the rod of men,
        and with the stripes of the sons of men:
2Sa 7:15 but My mercy shall not depart from Him, as I took [it] from Saul, whom I put away before Thee.
2Sa 7:16 And Thy House and Thy Kingdom shall be established forever before Thee: Thy throne shall be established forever.
2Sa 7:17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
2Sa 7:18 {David's prayer}.
        Then king David went in, and sat before the LORD,
        and he said, Who [am] I, Lord JeHoVaH?
        What [is] my house, that Thou have brought Me until now;
2Sa 7:19
        And this was yet a small thing in Thy sight, Lord JeHoVaH; but Thou have spoken also of [the] house of Thy servant,
        for a great while to come. And [is] this the manner of man, Lord JeHoVaH?
2Sa 7:20 And what can David say more to Thee? For Thou, Lord JeHoVaH, know Thy servant.
2Sa 7:21 For Thy word's sake, and according to Thy own heart,
        have Thou done all these great things, to make Thy servant know [them].
2Sa 7:22 Therefore Thou are great, 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.
2Sa 7:23 And what one nation in the Earth [is] like Thy people, 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 awesome, for Thy land,
        before Thy people which Thou redeemed to Thee from Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?
2Sa 7:24 For Thou have confirmed to Thyself Thy people Israel [to be] a people to Thee forever:
        and Thou, LORD, are become their GOD.
2Sa 7:25 And now, LORD GOD, the word that Thou have spoken concerning Thy servant,
        and concerning his house, establish [it] forever, and do as Thou have said.
2Sa 7:26 And let Thy name be magnified forever, saying, The LORD of Sabaoth [is] the GOD over Israel:
        and let the House of Thy servant David be established before Thee.
2Sa 7:27 For Thou, LORD of Sabaoth, God of Israel, have revealed to Thy servant, saying,
        I shall build Thee a house: therefore has Thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to Thee.
2Sa 7:28 And now, Lord JeHoVaH, Thou [are] that GOD,
        and Thy words are true, and Thou have promised this goodness to Thy servant:
2Sa 7:29 therefore now let it please Thee to bless the house of Thy servant,
        that it may continue forever before Thee: for Thou, Lord JeHoVaH, have spoken:
        and with Thy blessing let the house of Thy servant be blessed forever.

2Sa 8:1 And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2Sa 8:2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines he measured to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive.
        And [so] the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
2Sa 8:3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
2Sa 8:4 And David took from him a thousand [chariots], and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen:
        and David hamstrung all the chariot-[horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundred chariots. [1Ch 18:4]
2Sa 8:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians twenty two thousand men.
2Sa 8:6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
2Sa 8:7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
2Sa 8:8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took very much bronze.
2Sa 8:9 When Toi{Tou} king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the army of Hadadezer,
2Sa 8:10 then Toi{Tou} sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer,
        and smitten him: (for Hadadezer had wars with Toi{Tou}) and [Joram] brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze:
2Sa 8:11 which also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
2Sa 8:12 of Syria, and of Moab, and of the sons of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
2Sa 8:13 And David made [him] a name when he returned from smiting of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt, eighteen thousand [men]. [1Ch 18:12]
2Sa 8:14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

2Sa 8:15 And David reigned over all Israel, and David executed judgment and justice to all his people.
2Sa 8:16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder;
2Sa 8:17 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests: and Seraiah [was] the scribe;
2Sa 8:18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was over] both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.

2Sa 9:1 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?
2Sa 9:2 And [there was] of the House of Saul a servant whose name [was] Ziba.
        And when they had called him to David, the king said to him, [Are] Thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant!
2Sa 9:3 And the king said, [Is] there not yet any of the House of Saul, that I may show the kindness of GOD to him?
        And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan has yet a son, [who is] lame in [his] feet.
2Sa 9:4 And the king said to him, Where [is] he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
2Sa 9:5 Then king David sent, and brought him from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
2Sa 9:6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face, and did reverence.
        And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold Thy servant!
2Sa 9:7 And David said to him, Fear not: for I shall surely show Thee kindness for Jonathan's sake Thy father,
        and shall restore Thee all the land of Saul Thy father; and Thou shall eat bread at my table continually.
2Sa 9:8 And he bowed himself, and said, What [is] Thy servant, that Thou should look upon such a dead dog as I [am]?
2Sa 9:9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, I have given to Thy master's son all that pertained to Saul, and to all his house.
2Sa 9:10 Thou therefore, and Thy sons, and Thy servants, shall till the land for him,
        and Thou shall bring in [the fruits], that Thy master's son may have food to eat:
        but Mephibosheth Thy master's son shall eat bread always at my table.
        Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
2Sa 9:11 Then said Ziba to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant,
        so shall Thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
2Sa 9:12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name [was] Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba [were] servants to Mephibosheth.
2Sa 9:13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he ate continually at the king's table; and was lame in both his feet.

2Sa 10:1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
2Sa 10:2 Then said David, I shall show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.
        And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon.
2Sa 10:3 And the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Think Thou that David does honour Thy father, that he has sent comforters to Thee?
        Has not David [rather] sent his servants to Thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
2Sa 10:4 Therefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, to their buttocks, and sent them away.
2Sa 10:5 When they told [it] to David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and [then] return.
2Sa 10:6 And when the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves stunk before David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba,
        twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
2Sa 10:7 And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
2Sa 10:8 And the sons of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, [were] by themselves in the field.
2Sa 10:9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he selected of all the choice [men] of Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians.
2Sa 10:10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put [them] in array against the sons of Ammon.
2Sa 10:11 And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then Thou shall help me: but if the sons of Ammon shall be too strong for Thee, then I shall come and help Thee.
2Sa 10:12 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 seems him good.
2Sa 10:13 And Joab and the people that [were] with him drew near to the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
2Sa 10:14 And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
2Sa 10:15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they assembled themselves.
2Sa 10:16 And Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that [were] beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer [went] before them.
2Sa 10:17 And when it was told David, he assembled all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
2Sa 10:18 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 army, who died there.
2Sa 10:19 And when all the kings [that were] servants to Hadadezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the sons of Ammon any more.
2Sa 11:1
        And it came to pass, after the year had 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 sons of Ammon, and destroyed Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.

2Sa 11:2 {David and Bath-sheba}.
        And it came to pass in an evening, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house:
        and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman [was] very beautiful to look upon.
2Sa 11:3 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?
2Sa 11:4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned to her house.
2Sa 11:5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I [am] pregnant.
2Sa 11:6 And David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
2Sa 11:7 And when Uriah had come to him, David inquired [of him] how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
2Sa 11:8 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 from the king.
2Sa 11:9 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.
2Sa 11:10 And when they had told David, saying, And Uriah went not down to his house.
        And David said to Uriah, Came Thou not from [Thy] journey? Why [then] did Thou not go down to Thy house?
2Sa 11:11 And Uriah said to David, The Ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into my house,
        to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [As] Thou live, and [as] Thy soul lives, I shall not do this thing.
2Sa 11:12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here today also, and tomorrow I shall let Thee depart. And Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.
2Sa 11:13 And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk: and at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
2Sa 11:14
        And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent [it] by the hand of Uriah.
2Sa 11:15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the front of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
2Sa 11:16
        And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew that valiant men [were].
2Sa 11:17 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.
2Sa 11:18 And Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
2Sa 11:19 and charged the messenger, saying, When Thou have made an end of telling the matters of the war to the king,
2Sa 11:20 and if the king's wrath shall rise, and he shall say to Thee, Why approached ye so near to the city for the fight? Knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
2Sa 11:21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez?
        Why went ye near the wall? Then say Thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
2Sa 11:22 So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
2Sa 11:23 And the messenger said to David, Surely, the men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were upon them even to the entrance of the gate.
2Sa 11:24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon Thy servants: and [some] of the king's servants are dead, and Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
2Sa 11:25 And David said to the messenger, Thus shall Thou say to Joab, Let not this thing displease Thee,
        for the sword devours one as well as another: make Thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage Thou him.
2Sa 11:26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
2Sa 11:27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and brought her to his house,
        and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
2Sa 12:1 {Parable of the ewe-lamb}.
         And the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him,
        There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2Sa 12:2 The rich [man] had very numerous flocks and herds:
2Sa 12:3 but the poor [man] had nothing except one little ewe-lamb,
        which he had bought and nourished: and it grew up together with him, and with his sons:
        it fed of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
2Sa 12:4 And there came a traveler to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd,
        to dress for the way-faring man that had come to him;
        but took the poor man's ewe-lamb, and dressed it for the man that had come to him.
2Sa 12:5
         And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan,
        [As] the LORD lives, the man that has done this [thing] he is a son of death:
2Sa 12:6 and he shall restore the ewe-lamb four-fold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
2Sa 12:7 And Nathan said to David, Thou [are] the man. Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,
        I anointed Thee king over Israel, and I delivered Thee from the hand of Saul;
2Sa 12:8 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, moreover, I would have given to Thee such and such things.
2Sa 12:9 Why have Thou despised the Commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His eyes?
        Thou have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife [to be] Thy wife,
        and have slain him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
2Sa 12:10 And now the sword shall never depart from Thy house;
        because Thou have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be Thy wife.
2Sa 12:11 Thus says the LORD, Behold, I shall raise up evil against Thee out of Thy own house,
        and I shall take Thy wives before Thy eyes, and give [them] to Thy neighbour, and he shall lie with Thy wives in the sight of this sun.
2Sa 12:12 For Thou did [it] secretly: but I shall do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
2Sa 12:13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD.
        And Nathan said to David, The LORD also has put away Thy sin; Thou shall not die.
2Sa 12:14 But because by this deed Thou have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the son also [that is] born to Thee shall surely die.
2Sa 12:15 And Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was incurable.
2Sa 12:16 David therefore besought GOD for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the ground.
2Sa 12:17 And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him, to raise him from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
2Sa 12:18
        And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died.
        And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold while the child was yet alive,
        we spoke to him, and he would not listen to our voice:
        how shall he then be grieved, if we tell him that the child is dead?
2Sa 12:19 But when David saw that his servants whispered,
        and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, he is dead.
2Sa 12:20 And David arose from the ground, and washed, and anointed [himself], and changed his apparel,
        and came into the House of the LORD, and worshiped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
2Sa 12:21 Then said his servants to him, What thing [is] this that Thou have done? Thou did fast and weep for the child, [while it was] alive;
        but after the child was dead, Thou did rise and eat bread.
2Sa 12:22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted, and wept:
        for I said, Who can tell [whether] the LORD shall be gracious to me, that the child may live?
2Sa 12:23 But now he is dead, Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

2Sa 12:24 And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
2Sa 12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah{beloved}, because of the LORD.

2Sa 12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and took the royal city.
2Sa 12:27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
2Sa 12:28 And now collect the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
2Sa 12:29 And David collected all the people, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
2Sa 12:30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight of which [was] a talent of gold with the precious stones:
        and it was [set] on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
2Sa 12:31 And he brought forth the people that [were] in it, and put [them] under saws, and under harrows of iron,
        and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon.
        And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

2Sa 13:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name [was] Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2Sa 13:2 And Amnon was so afflicted, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she [was] a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.
2Sa 13:3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name [was] Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab [was] a very subtle man.
2Sa 13:4 And he said to him, Why [are] Thou, [being] the king's son, pining from morning to morning? Will Thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
2Sa 13:5 And Jonadab said to him, Lay Thee down on Thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when Thy father comes to see Thee, say to him,
        I pray Thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand.
2Sa 13:6 So Amnon lay down and made himself sick: and the king came to see him. And Amnon said to the king,
        I pray Thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make for me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
2Sa 13:7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to Thy brother Amnon's house, and make food for him.
2Sa 13:8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded [it], and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
2Sa 13:9 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.
2Sa 13:10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from Thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought [them] into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
2Sa 13:11 And when she had brought [them] to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
2Sa 13:12 And she answered him, No, my brother, do not rape me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not Thou this folly.
2Sa 13:13 And I, where shall I cause my shame to go? And as for Thee, Thou shall be as one of the fools in Israel.
        And now, I pray Thee, speak to the king; for he shall not withhold me from Thee.
2Sa 13:14 He would not listen to her voice: but being stronger than she, raped her, and lay with her.
2Sa 13:15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred with which he hated her [was] greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.
2Sa 13:16 And she said to him, [There is] no cause: this evil in sending me away [is] greater than the other that Thou did to me. But he would not listen to her.
2Sa 13:17 Then he called his servant that ministered to him, and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.
2Sa 13:18 And [she had] a garment of diverse colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters [that were] virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
2Sa 13:19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her coat of diverse colours that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
2Sa 13:20 And Absalom her brother said to her, has Amnon Thy brother been with Thee?
        But hold now Thy peace, my sister: he [is] Thy brother; set not Thy heart to this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
2Sa 13:21 But when king David heard of all these [things], he was very wroth.
2Sa 13:22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister Tamar.
2Sa 13:23
        And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which [is] beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
2Sa 13:24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, Thy servant has sheep-shearers; let the king, I beseech Thee, and his servants go with Thy servant.
2Sa 13:25 And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be overloaded to Thee. And he pressed him: yet he would not go, but blessed him.
2Sa 13:26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray Thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with Thee?
2Sa 13:27 And Absalom pressed him that he should let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
2Sa 13:28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you,
        Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have I not commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
2Sa 13:29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man rode upon his mule, and fled.
2Sa 13:30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the report came to David, saying, Absalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
2Sa 13:31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
2Sa 13:32 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 has been determined from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
2Sa 13:33 And now 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.
2Sa 13:34 And Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came many people by the way of the mountain-side behind him.
2Sa 13:35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come; as Thy servant said, so it is.
2Sa 13:36
        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 exceedingly.
2Sa 13:37 And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And he mourned for his son every day.
2Sa 13:38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
2Sa 13:39 And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
2Sa 14:1 {Parable of the woman of Tekoa}.
         And Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart [was] towards Absalom.
2Sa 14:2 And Joab sent to Tekoa, and brought thence a wise woman, and said to 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:
2Sa 14:3 and come to the king, and speak in this manner to him.
         So Joab put the words in her mouth.
2Sa 14:4 And when the Tekoite woman spoke to the king,
         she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, king.
2Sa 14:5 And the king said to her, What ails Thee?
         And she answered, I [am] indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
2Sa 14:6 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.
2Sa 14:7 And behold, the whole family has risen against Thy handmaid,
         and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the soul of his brother whom he slew;
         and we shall 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.
2Sa 14:8 And the king said to the woman, Go to Thy house, and I shall give charge concerning Thee.
2Sa 14:9 And the Tekoite woman said to the king, my lord, king, the iniquity [be] on me, and on my father's house:
         and the king and his throne [be] guiltless.
2Sa 14:10 And the king said, Whoever said [aught] to Thee, bring him to me,
         and he shall not touch Thee any more.
2Sa 14:11 Then said she, I pray Thee, let the king remember the LORD Thy God,
          that Thou would not allow the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son.
          And he said, [As] the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of Thy son fall to the ground.
2Sa 14:12 Then the woman said, Let Thy handmaid, I pray Thee,
          speak [one] word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
2Sa 14:13 And the woman said, Why then have Thou thought such a thing against the people of GOD?
        For the king does speak this thing as one who is faulty, in that the king does not bring back his banished.
2Sa 14:14 For we must necessarily die, and [are] as water spilt on the ground,
         which cannot be gathered up again; neither does GOD take away a soul:
         yet does He devise means, that his banished be not expelled from Him.
2Sa 14:15 And now that I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king,
          [it is] because the people have made me afraid: and Thy handmaid said,
         I shall now speak to the king; it may be that the king shall perform the request of his handmaid.
2Sa 14:16 For the king shall hear, to deliver his handmaid from the hand of the man,
         [that would] destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of GOD.
2Sa 14:17 Then Thy 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 shall be with Thee.
2Sa 14:18 Then the king answered and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray Thee, the thing that I shall ask Thee.
         And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
2Sa 14:19 And the king said, [Is not] the hand of Joab with Thee in all this?
         And the woman answered and said,
        [As] Thy soul lives, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king has spoken:
        for Thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of Thy handmaid:
2Sa 14:20 to bring about this form of speech has Thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord [is] wise,
         according to the wisdom of an Angel of GOD, to know all [things] that [are] on the Earth.
2Sa 14:21
         And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom.
2Sa 14:22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said,
        Today Thy servant knows that I have found grace in Thy eyes, my lord, king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant.
2Sa 14:23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
2Sa 14:24 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.
2Sa 14:25 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.
2Sa 14:26 And when he shaved his head, (for it was at every year's end that he shaved [it]: because [the hair] was heavy on him,
        therefore he shaved it): he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight-stone.
2Sa 14:27 And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name [was] Tamar: she was a woman of a beautiful countenance.
2Sa 14:28 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
2Sa 14:29 And Absalom sent for Joab, that he might send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
2Sa 14:30 Therefore he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
2Sa 14:31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom, to [his] house, and said to him, Why have Thy servants set my field on fire?
2Sa 14:32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to Thee, saying, Come here, that I may send Thee to the king, to say, Why [am] I come from Geshur?
        It [had been] good for me [had I been] there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there is [any] iniquity in me, let him kill me.
2Sa 14:33 And 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.

2Sa 15:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2Sa 15:2 And Absalom rose early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was [so], that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment,
        then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city [are] Thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] one of the tribes of Israel.
2Sa 15:3 And Absalom said to him, See, Thy matters [are] good and right; but [there is] no man [deputed] by the king to hear Thee.
2Sa 15:4 And Absalom said moreover, that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!
2Sa 15:5 And it was [so], that when any man came near [to him] to bow, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
2Sa 15:6 And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
2Sa 15:7 And it came to pass after four years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray Thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron. [2Sa 13:38 2Sa 5:4]
2Sa 15:8 For Thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me back indeed to Jerusalem, then I shall serve the LORD.
2Sa 15:9 And the king said to him, Go in peace, So he arose, and went to Hebron.
2Sa 15:10 And Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the voice of the shofar, then ye shall say, Absalom reigns in Hebron.
2Sa 15:11 And with Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem, [that were] called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
2Sa 15:12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, from Giloh,
        while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
2Sa 15:13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
2Sa 15:14
        And David said to all his servants that [were] with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not [else] escape from Absalom:
        make speed to depart, lest he should overtake us suddenly, and bring calamity upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
2Sa 15:15 And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, Thy servants [are ready to do] whatever my lord the king shall appoint.
2Sa 15:16 And the king went forth, and all his household [follow] his steps. And the king left ten women [who were] concubines to keep the house.
2Sa 15:17 And the king went forth, and all the people [follow] his steps, and tarried in a place that was far off.
2Sa 15:18 And all his servants passed on by his side; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who follow his steps from Gath, passed on before the king.
2Sa 15:19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Why go Thou also with us? Return to Thy place, and abide with the king; for Thou [are] a stranger, and also an exile.
2Sa 15:20 Whereas Thou came [but] yesterday, should I this day make Thee go up and down with us?
        Seeing I go where I may; return Thou, and take back Thy brethren: mercy and truth [be] with Thee.
2Sa 15:21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, [As] the LORD lives, and [as] my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall be,
        whether in death or life, even there also shall Thy servant be.
2Sa 15:22 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.
2Sa 15:23 And all the country wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron,
        and all the people passed over, towards the way of the wilderness.
2Sa 15:24 And behold, Zadok also, and all the Levites [were] with him bearing the Ark of the Covenant of GOD: and they set down the Ark of GOD;
        and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
2Sa 15:25 And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the Ark of GOD into the city:
        if I shall find grace in the eyes of the LORD, he shall bring me back, and show me [both] it, and his habitation:
2Sa 15:26 but if he shall thus say, I have no delight in Thee; behold me, let him do to me as seems good to him.
2Sa 15:27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, [Are 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.
2Sa 15:28 See, I shall tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until word shall come from you to certify me.
2Sa 15:29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the Ark of GOD back to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
2Sa 15:30
        And David went up by the ascent of [Mount] Olives, and wept as he went, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot:
        and all the people that [were] with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went.
2Sa 15:31 And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom.
        And David said, LORD, I pray Thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

2Sa 15:32 And it came to pass, that [when] David had come to the top, where he worshiped GOD,
        behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and Earth upon his head;
2Sa 15:33 and David said to him, If Thou shall pass on with me, then Thou shall be a burden to me:
2Sa 15:34 but if Thou shall return to the city, and say to Absalom, I shall be Thy servant, king;
        as I [have been] Thy father's servant until now, so [shall] I now also [be] Thy servant: then may Thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
2Sa 15:35 And [have Thou] not there with Thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests?
        Therefore it shall be, [that] whatever thing Thou shall hear out of the king's house, Thou shall tell [it] to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
2Sa 15:36 Behold, [they have] there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's [son], and Jonathan Abiathar's [son]; and by them ye shall send to me every thing that ye can hear.
2Sa 15:37 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
2Sa 16:1
        And when David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the 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.
2Sa 16:2 And the king said to Ziba, What mean Thou by these? And Ziba said,
        The asses [are] for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
2Sa 16:3 And the king said, And where [is] Thy master's son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he stays at Jerusalem:
        for he said, Today shall the House of Israel restore to me the kingdom of my father.
2Sa 16:4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, Thy [are] all that [pertained] to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech Thee [that] I may find grace in Thy eyes, my lord, king.
2Sa 16:5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the House of Saul,
        whose name [was] Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
2Sa 16:6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men [were] on his right [hand] and on his left.
2Sa 16:7 And thus says Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, Thou bloody man, and Thou man of Belial.
2Sa 16:8 The LORD has returned upon Thee all the blood of the House of Saul, in whose stead Thou have reigned;
        and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom Thy son:
        and behold, Thou [are taken] in Thy mischief, because Thou [are] a bloody man.
2Sa 16:9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over, I pray Thee, and take off his head.
2Sa 16:10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah?
        So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Why have Thou done so?
2Sa 16:11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeks my soul: how much more now [may this] Benjaminite [do it]?
        Let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him.
2Sa 16:12 It may be that the LORD shall look on my affliction, and that the LORD shall requite me good for his cursing this day.
2Sa 16:13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the mountain's side opposed to him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
2Sa 16:14 And the king, and all the people that [were] with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
2Sa 16:15
        And Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
2Sa 16:16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, Live the king! Live the king!
2Sa 16:17 And Absalom said to Hushai, [Is] this Thy kindness to Thy friend? Why went Thou not with Thy friend?
2Sa 16:18 And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his shall I be, and with him shall I abide.
2Sa 16:19 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 shall I be in Thy presence.
2Sa 16:20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
2Sa 16:21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to Thy father's concubines, which he has left to keep the house;
        and all Israel shall hear that Thou are abhorred by Thy father: then shall the hands of all that [are] with Thee be strong.
2Sa 16:22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the roof; and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
2Sa 16:23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, [was] as if a man had inquired at the Word of GOD:
        so [was] all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
2Sa 17:1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I shall arise and pursue after David this night;
2Sa 17:2 and I shall come upon him while he [is] weary and weak-handed, and shall make him afraid: and all the people that [are] with him shall flee; and I shall smite the king only:
2Sa 17:3 and I shall bring back all the people to Thee: the man whom Thou seek [is] as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be in peace.
2Sa 17:4 And the saying, pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
2Sa 17:5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he said.
2Sa 17:6 And when Hushai had come to Absalom, and Absalom spoke to him, saying,
        Ahithophel has spoken after this manner: shall we do [after] his saying? If not, speak Thou.
2Sa 17:7 And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given, [is] not good at this time.
2Sa 17:8 For, said Hushai, Thou know Thy father and his men, that they [are] mighty men, and they [are] bitter of soul,
        as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and Thy father [is] a man of war, and shall not lodge with the people.
2Sa 17:9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other] place: and it shall be, when some of them [are] overthrown at the first, that whoever hears it shall say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
2Sa 17:10 And he also [that is] valiant, whose heart [is] as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that Thy father [is] a mighty man, and [they] who [are] with him [are] valiant men.
2Sa 17:11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel should be generally gathered to Thee, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude; and that Thou should go to battle in Thy own person.
2Sa 17:12 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we shall light upon him as the dew falls on the ground: and of him and of all the men that [are] with him there shall not be left so much as one.
2Sa 17:13 And if he shall have entered into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we shall draw it into the river, until there is not one small stone found there.
2Sa 17:14 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 calamity upon Absalom.
2Sa 17:15 Then said Hushai to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
2Sa 17:16 And now 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.
2Sa 17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a maid-servant went and told them; and they went and told king David.
2Sa 17:18 And a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; into which they descended.
2Sa 17:19 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground grain upon it; and the thing was not known.
2Sa 17:20 And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where [is] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?
        And the woman said to them, they have gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find [them], they returned to Jerusalem.
2Sa 17:21
        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 to David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you.
2Sa 17:22 And David arose, and all the people that [were] with him, and they passed over the Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that had not gone over the Jordan.
2Sa 17:23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled [his] ass, and arose, and went home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died.
        And was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
2Sa 17:24 And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
2Sa 17:25 And Absalom set Amasa over the army 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.

2Sa 17:26 So Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
2Sa 17:27 And it came to pass, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
2Sa 17:28 brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched [grain], and beans, and lentils, and parched,
2Sa 17:29 and honey, and curd, and sheep, and cheese of cows, for David, and for the people that [were] with him, to eat: for they said, The people [are] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
2Sa 18:1 And David numbered the people that [were] with him, and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.
2Sa 18:2 And David sent forth a third [part] of the people by the hand of Joab,
        and a third [part] by the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother,
        and a third [part] by the hand of Ittai the Gittite.
        And the king said to the people, I shall surely go forth with you, also I.
2Sa 18:3 But the people answered, Thou shall not go forth: for if we flee away, they shall set [their] heart for us; neither if half of us die, shall they set [their] heart for us:
        but now Thou [are] worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] better that Thou should help us out of the city.
2Sa 18:4 And the king said to them, What seems to you best I shall do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
2Sa 18:5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, [Deal] gently for my sake with the young man,
        with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
2Sa 18:6
        So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
2Sa 18:7 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].
2Sa 18:8 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.
2Sa 18:9 And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth, and his head caught hold of the terebinth,
        and he was suspended between the Heaven and the Earth; and the mule that [was] under him went away.
2Sa 18:10 And a certain man saw [it], and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in a terebinth.
2Sa 18:11 And Joab said to the man that told him, And behold, Thou saw [him], and why did Thou not smite him there to the ground? And I would have given Thee ten [shekels] of silver, and a girdle.
2Sa 18:12 And the man said to Joab, Though I should receive a thousand [shekels] of silver in my hand, [yet] would I not put forth my hand against the king's son:
        for in our hearing the king charged Thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none [touch] the young man Absalom.
2Sa 18:13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against my own soul: for there is no matter hid from the king, and Thou thyself would have set thyself against me.
2Sa 18:14 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 middle of the terebinth.
2Sa 18:15 And ten young men that bore Joab's armour surrounded and smote Absalom, and slew him.
2Sa 18:16 And Joab blew the shofar, and the people returned from pursuing Israel: for Joab restrained the people.
2Sa 18:17 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.
2Sa 18:18 Now Absalom in his life-time had taken and raised for himself a pillar, which [is] in the valley of the king:
        for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called to this day, Absalom's place.

2Sa 18:19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and inform the king, how the LORD has avenged himself of his enemies.
2Sa 18:20 And Joab said to him, Thou shall not bear tidings this day, but Thou shall bear tidings another day: but this day Thou shall bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
2Sa 18:21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go, tell the king what Thou have seen. And Cushi bowed himself to Joab, and ran.
2Sa 18:22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But whatever, let me also, I pray Thee, run after Cushi. And Joab said,
        Why shall Thou run, my son, seeing that Thou have no tidings ready?
2Sa 18:23 But whatever it be, [said he], let me run. And he said to him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and outran Cushi.
2Sa 18:24 And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate to the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.
2Sa 18:25 And the watchman called, and told the king. And the king said, If he [is] alone [there is] tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.
2Sa 18:26 And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called to the porter, and said, Behold [another] man running alone. And the king said, he also brings tidings.
2Sa 18:27 And the watchman said, I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, he [is] a good man, and comes with good report.
2Sa 18:28 And Ahimaaz called, and said to the king, All is well. And he fell down to the ground upon his face before the king,
        and said, Blessed [be] the LORD Thy God, who has delivered up the men that raised their hand against my lord the king!
2Sa 18:29 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].
2Sa 18:30 And the king said, Turn aside, [and] stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
2Sa 18:31 And behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD has avenged Thee this day of all them that rose up against Thee.
2Sa 18:32 And the king said to Cushi, [Is] the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, May the enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against Thee to do [Thee] hurt, be as [that] young man [is].
2Sa 18:33 And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said,
        my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! That I had died for Thee, Absalom, my son, my son!
2Sa 19:1 And it was told to Joab, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.
2Sa 19:2 And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning to all the people: for the people heard it said that day how the king was grieved for his son.
2Sa 19:3 And the people withdrew by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
2Sa 19:4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a great voice, my son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!
2Sa 19:5
        And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou have shamed this day the faces of all Thy servants,
        who this day have saved Thy soul, and the souls of Thy sons and of Thy daughters, and the souls of Thy wives, and the souls of Thy concubines;
2Sa 19:6 in that Thou love Thy enemies, and hate Thy friends. For Thou have declared this day, that Thou regard 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.
2Sa 19:7 And now arise, go forth, and speak to the heart of Thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if Thou shall not go forth, there shall not tarry one with Thee this night:
        and that shall be worse to Thee than all the evil that has befallen Thee from Thy youth until now.
2Sa 19:8 Then the king rose, and sat in the gate. And they told to all the people,
        saying, Behold, the king does sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
2Sa 19:9 And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us from the hand of our enemies,
        and he delivered us from the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land for Absalom.
2Sa 19:10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle.
        And now why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
2Sa 19:11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah,
        saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house?
        Seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, to his house.
2Sa 19:12 Ye [are] my brethren, ye [are] my bones and my flesh: why then are ye the last to bring back the king?
2Sa 19:13 And say ye to Amasa, [Are] Thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? May GOD do so to me, and more also, if Thou be not captain of the army before me continually in the room of Joab.
2Sa 19:14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as [the heart of] one man; so that they sent [this word] to the king, Return Thou, and all Thy servants.
2Sa 19:15 So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.

2Sa 19:16 And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, who [was] of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
2Sa 19:17 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 the Jordan before the king.
2Sa 19:18 And there went over a ferry-boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he came over the Jordan;
2Sa 19:19 and said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do Thou remember that which Thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
2Sa 19:20 For Thy servant does know that I have sinned: therefore behold, I have come the first this day of all the House of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
2Sa 19:21 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?
2Sa 19:22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me?
        Shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? For do not I know that I [am] this day king over Israel?
2Sa 19:23 And the king said to Shimei, Thou shall not die. And the king swore to him.
2Sa 19:24 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 back in peace.
2Sa 19:25
        And it came to pass, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why did Thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?
2Sa 19:26 And he answered, my lord, king, my servant deceived me: for Thy servant said, I shall saddle me an ass, that I may ride on it, and go to the king; because Thy servant [is] lame.
2Sa 19:27 And he has slandered Thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king [is] as an Angel of GOD: do therefore [what is] good in Thy eyes.
2Sa 19:28 For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet did Thou set Thy servant among them that ate at Thy own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more to the king?
2Sa 19:29 And the king said to him, Why speak Thou any more of Thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
2Sa 19:30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, Yes, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house.

2Sa 19:31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.
2Sa 19:32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim: for he [was] a very great man.
2Sa 19:33 And the king said to Barzillai, Come Thou over with me, and I shall feed Thee with me in Jerusalem.
2Sa 19:34 And Barzillai said to the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
2Sa 19:35 I [am] this day eighty years old: [and] can I discern between good and evil? Can Thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink?
        Can I hear any more the voice of singing-men and singing-women? Why then should Thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?
2Sa 19:36 Thy servant shall go a little way over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with such a reward?
2Sa 19:37 Let Thy servant, I pray Thee, return back, that I may die in my own city, [and be buried] by the grave of my father and of my mother.
        But behold Thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to Thee.
2Sa 19:38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I shall do to him that which shall seem good to Thee: and whatever Thou shall require of me, [that] I shall do for Thee.
2Sa 19:39 And all the people went over the Jordan. And when the king had come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
2Sa 19:40 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.
2Sa 19:41
        And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to him,
        Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen Thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over the Jordan?
2Sa 19:42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel,
        Because the king [is] near of kin to us: why then are ye angry for this matter? Have we freely eaten by the king? Or has he given us any gift?
2Sa 19:43 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.

2Sa 20:1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite: and he blew a shofar,
        and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, Israel.
2Sa 20:2 So every man of Israel, withdrawing from David, followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah adhered to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
2Sa 20:3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house,
        and put them in custody, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
2Sa 20:4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble to me the men of Judah within three days, and be Thou here present.
2Sa 20:5 So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
2Sa 20:6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom:
        take Thou Thy lord's servants, and pursue him, lest he get for himself fortified cities, and escape us.
2Sa 20:7 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.
2Sa 20:8 When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon, Amasa went before them.
        And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded to him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and as he went forth it fell out.
2Sa 20:9 And Joab said to Amasa, [Are] Thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
2Sa 20:10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab's hand: so he smote him in the fifth [rib], and shed out his bowels to the ground,
        and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
2Sa 20:11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, he who favours Joab, and he who [is] for David, [let him go] after Joab.
2Sa 20:12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the middle 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.
2Sa 20:13 When he was removed out of the highway, every man went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
2Sa 20:14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and all the Berites: and they were assembled, and went also after him.
2Sa 20:15 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.
2Sa 20:16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Joab, Come near here, that I may speak with Thee.
2Sa 20:17 And when he was come near to her, the woman said, [Are] Thou Joab?
        And he answered, I [am]. Then she said to him, Hear the words of Thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
2Sa 20:18 Then she spoke, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask [counsel] at Abel: and so they ended [the matter].
2Sa 20:19 I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in Israel: Thou seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why shall Thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
2Sa 20:20 And Joab answered and said, Let it not be. Let it not be that I should swallow up or destroy.
2Sa 20:21 The matter [is] not so: but a man of Mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David:
        deliver him only, and I shall depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to Thee over the wall.
2Sa 20:22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast [it] out to Joab. And he blew a shofar,
        and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

2Sa 20:23 And Joab [was] over all the army of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
2Sa 20:24 And Adoram [was] over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder:
2Sa 20:25 And Sheva [was] scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
2Sa 20:26 and Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.

2Sa 21:1 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.
2Sa 21:2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said to them; (now the Gibeonites [were] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites;
        and the sons of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to slay them, in his zeal to the sons of Israel and Judah).
2Sa 21:3 And David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
2Sa 21:4 And the Gibeonites said to him, We shall have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shall Thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, [that] I shall do for you.
2Sa 21:5 And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from remaining within the borders of Israel,
2Sa 21:6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we shall hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the LORD chose. And the king said, I shall give [them].
2Sa 21:7 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.
2Sa 21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal['s sister], daughter of Saul,
        whom she bore for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
2Sa 21:9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain 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.
2Sa 21:10 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 allowed neither the fowls of the air to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
2Sa 21:11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah the concubine of Saul had done.
2Sa 21:12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan,
        where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day [that] the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa.
2Sa 21:13 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.
2Sa 21:14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son they buried in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father:
        and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that GOD was entreated for the land.

2Sa 21:15 And the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became faint.
2Sa 21:16 And Ishbi-benob, who [was] born of the giant, the weight of whose glaive was three hundred [shekels] of bronze in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David.
2Sa 21:17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him.
        Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shall go out no more with us to battle, that Thou may not extinguish the light of Israel.
2Sa 21:18
        And it came to pass after this, that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, who [was] born of the giant.
2Sa 21:19 And there was war again in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jair, slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear-staff [was] like a weavers' beam. [1Ch 20:5]
2Sa 21:20 And there was yet war in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, twenty four in number; and he also was born to the giant.
2Sa 21:21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, slew him.
2Sa 21:22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
2Sa 22:1 {Song of David}.
        (And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song:
        in the day [that] the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul).
2Sa 22:2 And he said, The LORD [is] my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer;
2Sa 22:3 the God of my Rock;
         I shall be trusting in Him. [Heb 2:13]
         My Shield, and my Horn of Salvation, my High Tower, and my Refuge, my Saviour;
         Thou save me from violence.
2Sa 22:4
        I shall call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised:
        so shall I be saved from my enemies.
2Sa 22:5 When the waves of death surround me,
         the floods of the worthless made me afraid.
2Sa 22:6 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
         the snares of death seized me.
2Sa 22:7
        In my distress I called upon the LORD,
        and cried to my God:
        and He heard my voice out of His Temple,
        and my cry [entered] into His ears.
2Sa 22:8 Then the Earth shook and trembled:
         the foundations of Heaven moved and shook,
         because He was wroth.
2Sa 22:9 There went up a smoke out of His nostrils,
         and fire out of His mouth devoured:
         coals were kindled by it.
2Sa 22:10
          And He bowed the Heavens, and came down;
         and darkness [was] under His feet.
2Sa 22:11 And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
         and He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
2Sa 22:12 And He made darkness pavilions around Him,
          dark waters, [and] thick clouds of the skies.
2Sa 22:13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
2Sa 22:14
          The LORD thundered from Heaven,
          and the Most High uttered His voice.
2Sa 22:15 And He sent out arrows, and scattered them;
          lightning, and discomfited them.
2Sa 22:16 And the channels of the sea appeared,
           the foundations of the World were laid open,
          at the rebuking of the LORD,
          at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
2Sa 22:17
          And he sent from above, He took me;
          He drew me out of many waters;
2Sa 22:18 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
          from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
2Sa 22:19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity:
          but the LORD was my support.
2Sa 22:20 And He brought me forth into a large place;
          He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
2Sa 22:21
        The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness:
        according to the cleanness of my hands has He recompensed me.
2Sa 22:22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
          and have not wickedly departed from my God.
2Sa 22:23 For all His Judgments [were] before me:
          and [as for] His Statutes, I did not depart from them.
2Sa 22:24 I was also upright before Him,
          and have kept myself from my iniquity.
2Sa 22:25 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness;
          according to my cleanness in His eye-sight.
2Sa 22:26
          With the merciful Thou shall show Thyself merciful.
          With the upright man Thou shall show thyself upright.
2Sa 22:27 With the pure Thou shall show Thyself pure;
      and with the perverted Thou shall contend.
2Sa 22:28
        And the afflicted people Thou shall save:
        but Thy eyes [are] upon the haughty, [that] Thou may bring [them] down.
2Sa 22:29 For Thou [are] my Lamp, LORD:
         and the LORD shall lighten my darkness.
2Sa 22:30 For by Thee I have run through a troop;
          by my God have I leaped over a wall.
2Sa 22:31
        [As for] God, His way [is] perfect;
        the word of the LORD [is] tried:
        He [is] a Shield to all those that trust in Him.
2Sa 22:32 For who [is] God, except the LORD?
          And who [is] a Rock, except our God?
2Sa 22:33 God [is] my Strength [and] power:
          and He makes my way perfect.
2Sa 22:34 He makes my feet like hinds' [feet]:
          and sets me upon my high places.
2Sa 22:35 He teaches my hands to war;
          so that a bow of bronze is broken by my arms.
2Sa 22:36
        Thou have also given me the Shield of Thy Salvation:
         and Thy gentleness has made me great.
2Sa 22:37 Thou have enlarged my steps under me;
          so that my feet have not slipped.
2Sa 22:38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them;
         and turned not again until I had consumed them.
2Sa 22:39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise:
        [but], they have fallen under my feet.
2Sa 22:40
         For Thou have girded me with strength to battle:
          Thou have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
2Sa 22:41 Thou have also given me the necks of my enemies,
          that I might destroy them that hate me.
2Sa 22:42 They looked, but [there was] none to save;
          to the LORD, but He answered them not.
2Sa 22:43 Then I beat them as small as the dust of the Earth,
          I stamped them as the mire of the street, [and] spread them abroad.
2Sa 22:44
        Thou also have delivered me from the strivings of my people,
        Thou have kept me [to be] head of the heathen:
         a people [which] I knew not shall serve me.
2Sa 22:45 Strangers shall submit themselves to me:
          as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
2Sa 22:46 Strangers shall fade away,
          and they shall tremble from their close places.
2Sa 22:47
        The LORD lives; and blessed [be] my Rock;
        and exalted be the God of the Rock of my Salvation.
2Sa 22:48 It [is] God that avenges me,
          and that brings down the people under me,
2Sa 22:49 and that brings me forth from my enemies:
        Thou also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me:
        Thou have delivered me from the violent man.
2Sa 22:50 LORD, Therefore I shall confess to Thee among the gentiles,
         and sing-psalms to Thy name. [Rom 15:9]
2Sa 22:51
        [He is] the Tower of Salvation for His king:
         and He shows mercy to His anointed,
         to David, and to his seed forever.
        {End Song}.

2Sa 23:1 And these [are] the last words of David.
         David the son of Jesse said,
         and the man [who was] raised on high,
         the anointed of the God of Jacob,
         and the sweet singer of Israel, said,
2Sa 23:2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me,
         and His word [was] on my tongue.
2Sa 23:3 The God of Israel said,
         the Rock of Israel spoke to me,
         He who rules over men [must be] just,
         ruling in the fear of God.
2Sa 23:4 And [shall be] as the light of the morning, [when] the sun rises,
        a morning without clouds;
        [as] the tender grass [springing] out of the Earth,
         by clear shining after rain.
2Sa 23:5 Although my house [is] not so with God;
         yet He has made with me an Everlasting Covenant,
         ordered in all [things], and sure: for [this is] all my Salvation,
         and all my desire, although He makes [it] not to grow.
2Sa 23:6 But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as thorns thrust away,
         for they cannot be taken by the hand:
2Sa 23:7 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.
2Sa 23:8 These [are] the names of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam a Hachmonite, chief among the captains;
        he lifted up his spear against three hundred, whom he slew at one time. [1Ch 11:11]
2Sa 23:9 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 assembled to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away:
2Sa 23:10 he arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand adhered to the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.
2Sa 23:11 And after him [was] Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were collected into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from the Philistines.
2Sa 23:12 But he stood in the middle of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
2Sa 23:13 And three of the thirty chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
2Sa 23:14 And David [was] then in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Beth-lehem.
2Sa 23:15 And David longed, and said, that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, that [is] by the gate!
2Sa 23:16 And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that [was] by the gate,
        and took [it], and brought [it] to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.
2Sa 23:17 And he said, Let it not be, LORD, that I should do this: [shall I drink] the blood of these men that went in jeopardy of their souls?
        Therefore he would not drink it. These [things] did these three mighty men.
2Sa 23:18
        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.
2Sa 23:19 Was he not most honourable of three? For he was their captain: but he attained not to the [first] three.
2Sa 23:20
        And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts,
        he slew two lion-like men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the middle of a pit in time of snow:
2Sa 23:21 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.
2Sa 23:22 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among three mighty men.
2Sa 23:23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.
2Sa 23:24 {David's thirty Champions}.

2Sa 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and incited against David [when he] saying to them, Go number Israel and Judah. [1Ch 21:1]
2Sa 24:2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the army, who [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.
2Sa 24:3 And Joab said to the king, Now the LORD Thy God add to the people, of how many they may be, a hundred-fold,
        and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]: but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?
2Sa 24:4 And the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army.
        And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
2Sa 24:5 And they passed over the Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right [side] of the city that [lies] in the middle of the river of Gad, and towards Jazer:
2Sa 24:6 then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Sidon,
2Sa 24:7 and came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, to Beer-Sheba.
2Sa 24:8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
2Sa 24:9 And Joab presented the sum of the number of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah [were] five hundred thousand men.
2Sa 24:10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people.
        And David said to the LORD, I have sinned greatly in what I have done: and now, I beseech Thee, LORD, take away the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
2Sa 24:11 And David had risen in the morning.
          Then came the word of the LORD to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
2Sa 24:12 Go and say to David, Thus says the LORD, I offer Thee three [things]; choose Thee one of them, that I may [do it] to Thee.
2Sa 24:13 And Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him,
        Shall three years of famine come upon Thee in Thy land?
        Or shall Thou flee three months before Thy enemies, while they pursue Thee?
        Or that there be three days' pestilence in Thy land?
        Now consider, and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me. [1Ch 21:12]
2Sa 24:14 And David said to 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.
2Sa 24:15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-Sheba seventy thousand men.
2Sa 24:16 And when the Angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the evil, and said to the Angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now Thy hand.
        And the Angel of the LORD was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
2Sa 24:17 And David spoke to the LORD when he saw the Angel that smote the people,
        and said, Behold, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? Let Thy hand,
        I pray Thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
2Sa 24:18 And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an Altar to the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
2Sa 24:19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
2Sa 24:20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him:
          and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
2Sa 24:21 And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant?
          And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of Thee, to build an Altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
2Sa 24:22 And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what [seems] good to him:
        behold, [here are] oxen for burnt-offering, and threshing-instruments and [other] instruments of the oxen for wood.
2Sa 24:23 All these [things] did Araunah, [as] a king, give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, May the LORD Thy God accept Thee.
2Sa 24:24 And the king said to Araunah, No; but I shall surely buy [it] of Thee at a price: neither shall I offer burnt-offerings to the LORD my God of that which does cost me nothing.
        And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
2Sa 24:25 And David built there an Altar to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

1Ki 1:1 [Scroll 07 Samuel-Kings (Kings 1)].
        Now king David was old [and] advanced in days; and they covered him with clothes, but he got no heat.
1Ki 1:2 Therefore his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king,
        and let her cherish him, and let her lie in Thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
1Ki 1:3 So they sought for a beautiful damsel throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunamite, and brought her to the king.
1Ki 1:4 And the damsel [was] very beautiful, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew{intercourse} her not.
1Ki 1:5 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying,
        I shall be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
1Ki 1:6 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying,
        Why have Thou done so? And he also [was] very goodly; and [his mother] bore him after Absalom.
1Ki 1:7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah, helped [him].
1Ki 1:8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who [belonged] to David, were not with Adonijah.
1Ki 1:9 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.
1Ki 1:10
        But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
1Ki 1:11 Then Nathan spoke to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon,
        saying, Have Thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith does reign, and David our lord knows [it] not?
1Ki 1:12 And now come, let me, I pray Thee, give Thee counsel, that Thou may save Thy own soul, and the soul of Thy son Solomon.
1Ki 1:13 Go, and enter in to king David, and say to him, Did not Thou, my lord, king, swear to Thy handmaid,
        saying, Assuredly Solomon Thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? Why then does Adonijah reign?
1Ki 1:14 Behold, while Thou are yet talking there with the king, I shall also come in after Thee, and confirm Thy words.
1Ki 1:15 And Bath-sheba went to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunamite ministered to the king.
1Ki 1:16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What would Thou?
1Ki 1:17 And she said to him, my lord, Thou did swear by the LORD Thy God to Thy handmaid,
        [saying], Assuredly Solomon Thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
1Ki 1:18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and now, my lord the king, Thou know [it] not.
1Ki 1:19 And he has slain oxen, and fat cattle, and sheep in abundance,
        and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army: but Solomon Thy servant has he not called.

1Ki 1:20 And Thou, my lord, king, the eyes of all Israel [are] upon Thee, that Thou should tell them who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him.
1Ki 1:21 Otherwise it shall be, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
1Ki 1:22 And behold, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
1Ki 1:23 And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet.
        And when he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
1Ki 1:24 And Nathan said, my lord, king, have Thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
1Ki 1:25 For he has gone down this day, and has slain oxen, and fat cattle, and sheep in abundance,
        and has called all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest;
        and behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, Live king Adonijah.
1Ki 1:26 But me, me Thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Thy servant Solomon, has he not called.
1Ki 1:27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and Thou have not shown [it] to Thy servant, who should sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him?
1Ki 1:28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bath-sheba.
        And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
1Ki 1:29 And the king swore, and said, [As] the LORD lives, that has redeemed my soul out of all distress,
1Ki 1:30 even as I swore to Thee by the LORD, God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon Thy son shall reign after me,
        and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so shall I certainly do this day.
1Ki 1:31 And Bath-sheba bowed with [her] face to the ground, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live forever.
1Ki 1:32 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.
1Ki 1:33 The king also said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
1Ki 1:34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel:
        and blow ye with the shofar, and say, Live king Solomon.
1Ki 1:35 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.
1Ki 1:36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen!
        So says the LORD, God of my lord the king.
1Ki 1:37 As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so let him be with Solomon,
        and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
1Ki 1:38 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.
1Ki 1:39 And Zadok the priest took a horn of oil out of the Tabernacle, and anointed Solomon.
        And they blew the shofar; and all the people said, Live king Solomon.
1Ki 1:40 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.

1Ki 1:41 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 voice of the shofar, he said, Why [is this] noise of the city being in an uproar?
1Ki 1:42 And while he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said to him, Come in; for Thou [are] a valiant man, and bring good tidings.
1Ki 1:43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Truly our lord king David has made Solomon king.
1Ki 1:44 And the king has 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.
1Ki 1:45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they have come from thence rejoicing, so that the city resounded. This [is] the noise that ye have heard.
1Ki 1:46 And also Solomon sits upon the throne of the kingdom.
1Ki 1:47 And moreover, the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying,
        May 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.
1Ki 1:48 And also thus says the king, Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel, who has given [one] to sit upon my throne this day, my eyes even seeing [it]!
1Ki 1:49 And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and went every man his way.
1Ki 1:50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the Altar.
1Ki 1:51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon: for behold, he has caught hold on the horns of the Altar,
        saying, Let king Solomon swear to me today that he shall not slay his servant with the sword.
1Ki 1:52 And Solomon said, If he shall show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the ground: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
1Ki 1:53 And king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the Altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to Thy house.

1Ki 2:1 Now the days of David drew near that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
1Ki 2:2 I go the way of all the Earth: be Thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;
1Ki 2:3 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 has been written in the Law of Moses, that Thou may prosper in all that Thou do, and wherever Thou turn thyself.
1Ki 2:4 That the LORD may continue His word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If Thy sons 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.
1Ki 2:5 And Thou know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, [and] what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether,
        whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that [was] about his loins, and in his shoes that [were] on his feet.
1Ki 2:6 Do therefore according to Thy wisdom, and let not his hoary head go down to Sheol in peace.
1Ki 2:7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at Thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom Thy brother.
1Ki 2:8 And behold, [Thou have] with Thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjaminite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at the Jordan,
        and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, I shall not put Thee to death with the sword.
1Ki 2:9 And now hold him not guiltless: for Thou [are] a wise man, and know what Thou ought to do to him; but his hoary head do Thou bring down to Sheol with blood.
1Ki 2:10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
1Ki 2:11 And the days that David reigned over Israel [were] forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
1Ki 2:12 Then Solomon was seated upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
1Ki 2:13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come Thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
1Ki 2:14 And He said, I have somewhat to say to Thee. And she said, Say on.
1Ki 2:15 And he said, Thou know that the kingdom was mine, and [that] all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign:
        but the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.
1Ki 2:16 And now I ask one petition of Thee, deny me not. And she said to him, Say on.
1Ki 2:17 And he said, Speak, I pray Thee, to Solomon the king, (for he shall not say to Thee no), that he may give me Abishag the Shunamite for a wife.
1Ki 2:18 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I shall speak for Thee to the king.
1Ki 2:19 Bath-sheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne,
        and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat upon his right hand.
1Ki 2:20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of Thee; I [pray Thee], deny me not. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother: for I shall not deny Thee.
1Ki 2:21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunamite be given to Adonijah Thy brother for a wife.
1Ki 2:22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother,
        And why do Thou ask Abishag the Shunamite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also; for he [is] my elder brother;
        even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
1Ki 2:23 Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, May GOD do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own soul.
1Ki 2:24 And now, [as] the LORD lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father,
        and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
1Ki 2:25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
1Ki 2:26 And to Abiathar the priest said the king, Depart to Anathoth, to Thy own fields; for Thou [are] worthy of death:
        but I shall not at this time put Thee to death, because Thou did bear the Ark of the Lord JeHoVaH before David my father,
        and because Thou have been afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.
1Ki 2:27 So Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
1Ki 2:28 And the report came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom.
        And Joab fled to the Tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the Altar.
1Ki 2:29 And it was told to king Solomon that Joab had fled to the Tabernacle of the LORD; and behold, [he is] by the Altar.
        Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
1Ki 2:30 And Benaiah came to the Tabernacle of the LORD, and said to him,
        Thus says the king, Come forth. And he said, No; but I shall die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus says Joab, and thus he answered me.
1Ki 2:31 And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that Thou may take away the innocent blood which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
1Ki 2:32 The LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword,
        my father David not knowing [of it], Abner the son of Ner captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
1Ki 2:33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed forever:
        but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace forever from the LORD.
1Ki 2:34 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
1Ki 2:35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the army: and Zadok the priest the king put in the room of Abiathar.
1Ki 2:36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build Thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence to any place whatever.
1Ki 2:37 For it shall be, [that] in the day Thou shall go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, Thou shall know for certain that Thou shall surely die: Thy blood shall be upon Thy own head.
1Ki 2:38 And Shimei said to the king, The saying [is] good: as my lord the king has said, so shall Thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
1Ki 2:39
        And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maachah king of Gath: and they told Shimei, saying, behold, Thy servants are in Gath.
1Ki 2:40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his she-ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath.
1Ki 2:41 And it was told to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
1Ki 2:42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make Thee to swear by the LORD, and protest to Thee,
        saying, Know for a certain, in the day Thou go out, and walk any where abroad, that Thou shall surely die?
        And Thou said to me, The word [that] I have heard [is] good.
1Ki 2:43 Why then have Thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the Commandment that I have charged Thee with?
1Ki 2:44 And the king said to Shimei, Thou know all the wickedness which Thy heart is privy to, that Thou did to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return Thy wickedness upon Thy own head;
1Ki 2:45 and king Solomon [shall be] blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD forever.
1Ki 2:46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

1Ki 3:1 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took the daughter of Pharaoh, 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 on every side.
1Ki 3:2 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built to the name of the LORD, until those days.
1Ki 3:3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the Statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
1Ki 3:4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that [was] the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that Altar.
1Ki 3:5
        In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and GOD said, Ask what I shall give Thee.
1Ki 3:6 And Solomon said, Thou have shown to Thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before Thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee;
        and Thou have kept for him this great kindness, that Thou have given him a son to sit upon his throne, as [it is] this day.
1Ki 3:7 And now, LORD my God, Thou have made Thy servant king instead of David my father: and I [am but] a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
1Ki 3:8 And Thy servant [is] in the middle of Thy people which Thou have chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
1Ki 3:9 Give therefore to Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this Thy so great a people?
1Ki 3:10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
1Ki 3:11 And GOD said to him, Because Thou have asked this thing,
         and have not asked for thyself many days; neither have asked riches for thyself, nor have asked the soul of Thy enemies: but have asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
1Ki 3:12 behold, I have done according to Thy words: behold, I have given Thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like Thee before Thee, neither after Thee shall any arise like to Thee.
1Ki 3:13 And also, I have given Thee that which Thou have not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like to Thee all Thy days,
1Ki 3:14 and if Thou shall walk in My ways, to keep My Statutes and My Commandments, as Thy father David did walk, then I shall lengthen Thy days.
1Ki 3:15 And Solomon awoke; and behold, [it was] a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
1Ki 3:16
        Then came there two women, [that were] whores, to the king, and stood before him.
1Ki 3:17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house;
        And I gave birth, with her in the house.
1Ki 3:18 And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was also delivered:
        and we [were] together; [there was] no stranger with us in the house, except us two in the house.
1Ki 3:19 And this woman's son died in the night; because she overlaid it.
1Ki 3:20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while Thy handmaid slept,
        and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.
1Ki 3:21 And when I rose in the morning to nurse my son, behold, it was dead:
        but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I bore.
1Ki 3:22 And the other woman said, No; 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. And they spoke before the king.
1Ki 3:23 Then said the king, The one said, This [is] my son that lives, and Thy son [is] the dead;
        and the other said, No; but Thy son [is] the dead, and my son [is] the living.
1Ki 3:24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
1Ki 3:25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
1Ki 3:26 Then spoke the woman whose the living son [was] to the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son,
        and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and not slay it.
        But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor Thy, [but] divide [it].
1Ki 3:27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and not slay it: she [is] the mother of it.
1Ki 3:28 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.

1Ki 4:1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
1Ki 4:2 And these [were] the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
1Ki 4:3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
1Ki 4:4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the army: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
1Ki 4:5 And Azariah the son of Nathan [was] over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan [was] principal officer, [and] the king's friend:
1Ki 4:6 Ahishar [was] over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda [was] over the tribute.
1Ki 4:7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, and they have sustained the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.
1Ki 4:8 And these [are] their names: The son of Hur, in Mount Ephraim:
1Ki 4:9 the son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan:
1Ki 4:10 the son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him [pertained] Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:
1Ki 4:11 the son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; who had Taphath the daughter of Solomon for a wife:
1Ki 4:12 Baana the son of Ahilud; [to him pertained] Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, to [the place that is] beyond Jokneam:
1Ki 4:13 the son of Geber, in Ramoth-Gilead; to him [pertained] the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which [are] in Gilead;
        to him [also pertained] the region of Argob, which [is] in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars:
1Ki 4:14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo [had] Mahanaim:
1Ki 4:15 Ahimaaz [was] in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon for a wife:
1Ki 4:16 Baanah the son of Hushai [was] in Asher and in Aloth:
1Ki 4:17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
1Ki 4:18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
1Ki 4:19 Geber the son of Uri [was] in the country of Gilead, [in] the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and [he was] the only officer who [was] in the land.
1Ki 4:20 Judah and Israel [were] many, as the sand which [is] by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
1Ki 4:21
         And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
1Ki 4:22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, and sixty cors of meal.
1Ki 4:23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and roebucks, and fallow-deer, and fatted fowls.
1Ki 4:24 For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the river: and he had peace on all sides around him.
1Ki 4:25 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.
1Ki 4:26 And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. [2Ch 9:25 2Ch 1:14]
1Ki 4:27 And those officers have sustained king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.
1Ki 4:28 Barley also and straw for the horses and mules they brought to the place where [the officers] were, every man according to his charge.
1Ki 4:29 And GOD gave Solomon great wisdom and understanding, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that [is] on the sea-shore.
1Ki 4:30 And the wisdom of Solomon excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
1Ki 4:31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.
1Ki 4:32 And he spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
1Ki 4:33 And he spoke of trees, from the cedar that [is] in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall: He spoke also of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
1Ki 4:34 And there came of all the peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the Earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

1Ki 5:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to 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.
1Ki 5:2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
1Ki 5:3 Thou know that David my father could not build a house to the name of the LORD his God,
        for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of His feet.
1Ki 5:4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, [so that there is] neither adversary nor evil result.
1Ki 5:5 And behold, I purpose to build a house to the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying,
        Thy son, whom I shall set upon Thy throne in Thy room. He shall build a house for My name.
1Ki 5:6 And now command Thou, that they hew me cedars out of Lebanon;
        and My servants shall be with Thy servants: and to Thee I shall give hire for Thy servants according to all that Thou shall appoint:
        for Thou know that [there is] not among us any that is skilled in hewing timber like the Sidonians.
1Ki 5:7
        And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly,
        and said, Blessed [be] the LORD this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people!
1Ki 5:8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which Thou sent to me for: [and] I shall perform all Thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
1Ki 5:9 My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon to the sea: and I shall convey them by sea in floats to the place that Thou shall appoint me,
        and shall cause them to be discharged there, and Thou shall receive [them]: and Thou shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
1Ki 5:10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees [according to] all his desire.
1Ki 5:11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat [for] food to his household, and twenty cors of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
1Ki 5:12 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.
1Ki 5:13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
1Ki 5:14 And he sent them to Lebanon ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home. Adoniram [was] over the levy.
1Ki 5:15 And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountains;
1Ki 5:16 besides the chief of Solomon's officers who [were] over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
1Ki 5:17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
1Ki 5:18 And Solomon's builders, and Hiram's builders did hew [them], and the stone-squarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
1Ki 6:1
        And it came to pass in the four hundred eightieth year after the sons of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt,
        in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the House of the LORD.
1Ki 6:2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length of it [was] sixty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty [cubits], and the height of it thirty cubits.
1Ki 6:3 And the porch before the Temple of the house, twenty cubits [was] the length of it, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits [was] the breadth of it, before the house.
1Ki 6:4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
1Ki 6:5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers around, [against] the walls of the house around, [both] of the Temple and of the Oracle: and he made chambers around:
1Ki 6:6 the lowest chamber [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [was] six cubits broad, and the third [was] seven cubits broad: for outside [in the wall] of the house he made narrowed rests around,
        that [the beams] should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
1Ki 6:7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought there; so that there was neither hammer nor axe [nor] any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
1Ki 6:8 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;
1Ki 6:9 so he built the house and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
1Ki 6:10 And [then] he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house [with] timber of cedar.
1Ki 6:11 Then came the word of the LORD to Solomon, saying,
1Ki 6:12 [Concerning] this house which Thou are in building, if Thou shall walk in My Statutes, and execute My Judgments, and keep all My Commandments to walk in them;
        then shall I perform My word with Thee, which I spoke to David Thy father:
1Ki 6:13 And I shall dwell among the sons of Israel, and shall not forsake My people Israel.
1Ki 6:14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
1Ki 6:15 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.
1Ki 6:16 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, for the Oracle, for the Holy of Holies.
1Ki 6:17 And the house, that [is], the Temple before it, was forty cubits [long].
1Ki 6:18 And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knobs and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.
1Ki 6:19 And the Oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD.
1Ki 6:20 And the Oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height of it, and he overlaid it with pure gold;
        and [so] covered the Altar [which was of] cedar.
1Ki 6:21 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.
1Ki 6:22 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.
1Ki 6:23 And within the Oracle he made two cherubim of olive-tree, [each] ten cubits high.
1Ki 6:24 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 to the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.
1Ki 6:25 And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the cherubim [were] of one measure and one size.
1Ki 6:26 The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] of the other cherub.
1Ki 6:27 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 middle of the house.
1Ki 6:28 And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
1Ki 6:29 And he carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, and palm-trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.
1Ki 6:30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.
1Ki 6:31 And for the entrance of the Oracle he made doors of olive-tree: the lintel [and] side-posts [were] a fifth [part of the wall].
1Ki 6:32 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.
1Ki 6:33 So also he made for the door of the Temple posts of olive-tree a fourth [part of the wall].
1Ki 6:34 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.
1Ki 6:35 And he carved [with] cherubim, and palm-trees, and open flowers; and covered [them] with gold, fitted upon the carved work.
1Ki 6:36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.
1Ki 6:37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the House of the LORD laid, in the month Ziv:
1Ki 6:38 and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul (which [is] the eighth month) was the House finished throughout all its parts, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

1Ki 7:1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
1Ki 7:2 And he built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length [was] a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
1Ki 7:3 And [it was] covered with cedar above upon the beams, that [lay] on forty-five pillars, fifteen [in] a row.
1Ki 7:4 And [there were] windows in three rows, and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.
1Ki 7:5 And all the doors and posts [were] square, with the windows: and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.
1Ki 7:6 And he made a porch of pillars; its length [was] fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits: and the porch [was] before them: and the [other] pillars and the thick beams [were] before them.
1Ki 7:7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, the porch of judgment: and [it was] covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
1Ki 7:8 And his house where he dwelt [had] another court within the porch, [which] was of the like work. Solomon made also a house for [the] daughter of Pharaoh, whom he had married, like to this porch.
1Ki 7:9 All these [were of] costly stones, according to the measures of hewn stones, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and [so] on the outside towards the great court.
1Ki 7:10 And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great stones; stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
1Ki 7:11 And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of hewn stones, and cedars.
1Ki 7:12 And the great court around [was] with three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the House of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
1Ki 7:13
        And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.
1Ki 7:14 He [was] a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze:
        and he was filled with the wisdom, and the understanding, and the knowledge to work all works in bronze.
        And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
1Ki 7:15 For he cast two pillars of bronze, each of eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits went around each of them.
1Ki 7:16 And he made two capitals of molten bronze, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital [was] five cubits, and the height of the other capital [was] five cubits:
1Ki 7:17 [and] nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which [were] upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
1Ki 7:18 And he made the pillars, and two rows around upon the one net-work, to cover the capitals that [were] upon the top, with pomegranates: and so he did for the other capital.
1Ki 7:19 And the capitals that [were] upon the top of the pillars [were] of lily-work in the porch, four cubits.
1Ki 7:20 And the capitals upon the two pillars [had pomegranates] also above, opposed to the belly which [was] by the net-work: and the pomegranates [were] two hundred in rows around upon the other capital.
1Ki 7:21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the Temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin{establish}: and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz{fleetness}. [2Ch 3:17]
1Ki 7:22 And upon the top of the pillars [was] lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
1Ki 7:23 And he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round, and its height [was] five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits all around.
1Ki 7:24 And under the brim of it around [there were] knobs{oxen} around it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea around: the knobs{oxen} [were] cast in two rows, when it was cast. [2Ch 4:3]
1Ki 7:25 It stood upon twelve oxen,
        three looking towards the north,
        and three looking towards the west,
        and three looking towards the south,
        and three looking towards the east:
        and the sea [was set] above upon them,
        and all their hinder parts [were] inward.
1Ki 7:26 And it [was] a handbreadth thick, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
1Ki 7:27 And he made ten bases of bronze; four cubits [was] the length of one base, four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the height of it.
1Ki 7:28 And the work of the bases [was] in this [manner]: They had borders, and the borders [were] between the ledges:
1Ki 7:29 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] additions made of thin work.
1Ki 7:30 And every base had four bronze wheels, and plates of bronze: and the four footings of it had supports: under the laver [were] supports molten, at the side of every addition.
1Ki 7:31 And the mouth of it within the capital and above [was] a cubit: but the mouth of it [was] round [after] the work of the base, a cubit and a half: and also upon the mouth of it [were] gravings with their borders, square, not round.
1Ki 7:32 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.
1Ki 7:33 And the work of the wheels [was] like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their fellies, and their spokes, [were] all molten.
1Ki 7:34 And [there were] four supports to the four corners of one base: [and] the supports [were] of the very base itself.
1Ki 7:35 And in the top of the base [was there] a round circle of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base its ledges and its borders [were] of the same.
1Ki 7:36 For on the plates of its ledges, and on its borders, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions around.
1Ki 7:37 After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, [and] one size.
1Ki 7:38 Then he made ten lavers of bronze: one laver contained forty baths: [and] every laver was four cubits: [and] upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
1Ki 7:39 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 opposed to the south.
1Ki 7:40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. And Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he executed for king Solomon for the House of the LORD.
1Ki 7:41 The two pillars, and the [two] bowls of the capitals that [were] on the top of the two pillars; and the two net-works, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which [were] upon the top of the pillars.
1Ki 7:42 Four hundred pomegranates for the two net-works, two rows of pomegranates for one net-work, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that [were] upon the pillars;
1Ki 7:43 and the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
1Ki 7:44 and one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
1Ki 7:45 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 bronze.
1Ki 7:46 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
1Ki 7:47 And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were very numerous: neither was the weight of the bronze ascertained.
1Ki 7:48 And Solomon made all the vessels that [pertained] to the House of the LORD: the Altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which [was] the show-bread,
1Ki 7:49 and the lampstands 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,
1Ki 7:50 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 Holy of Holies, [and] for the doors of the house of the Temple.
1Ki 7:51 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;
        [and] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, he put among the treasures of the House of the LORD.

1Ki 8:1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem,
        that they might bring the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion.
1Ki 8:2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the Festival in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month.
1Ki 8:3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the Ark.
1Ki 8:4 And they brought the Ark of the LORD, and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the Holy vessels that [were] in the Tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring.
1Ki 8:5 And king Solomon, and all the Congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, [were] with him before the Ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
1Ki 8:6 And the priests brought the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD to its place, into the Oracle of the house, to the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.
1Ki 8:7 For the cherubim spread forth [their] two wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubim covered the Ark and its staffs above.
1Ki 8:8 And they drew out the staffs, that the ends of the staffs were seen out in the Holy [place] before the Oracle, and they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.
1Ki 8:9 [There was] nothing in the Ark except the two tablets of stone, which Moses deposited there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a Covenant] with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
1Ki 8:10
        And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the Holy [place], that the cloud filled the House of the LORD,
1Ki 8:11 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.
1Ki 8:12 Then said Solomon, The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
1Ki 8:13 I have surely built Thee a house to dwell in, a settled place for Thee to abide in forever.
1Ki 8:14 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel: and all the Congregation of Israel were standing.
1Ki 8:15 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to David my father, and has with His hand fulfilled [it], saying,
1Ki 8:16 Since the day that I brought forth My people Israel from Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house,
        that My name might be in it; but I chose David to be over My people Israel!
1Ki 8:17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, God of Israel.
1Ki 8:18 But the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in Thy heart to build a house for My name, Thou did well that it was in Thy heart;
1Ki 8:19 but Thou shall not build the house; but Thy son that shall come forth out of Thy loins, he shall build the house for My name.
1Ki 8:20 The LORD has performed his word that he spoke, and I have risen in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel,
        as the LORD has spoken, and have built a house for the name of the LORD, God of Israel.
1Ki 8:21 And I have set there a place for the Ark, in which [is] the Covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them from the land of Egypt.
1Ki 8:22 And Solomon stood before the Altar of the LORD in the presence of all the Congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards Heaven:
1Ki 8:23 and he said, LORD, God of Israel, [there is] no GOD like Thee, in the Heaven above, and on the Earth beneath, who keep Covenant and mercy with Thy servants that walk before Thee with all their heart.
1Ki 8:24 Who have kept with Thy servant David my father that which Thou did promise him: Thou did speak also with Thy mouth, and have fulfilled [it] with Thy hand, as [it is] this day.
1Ki 8:25 Therefore now, LORD, God of Israel, keep with Thy servant David my father that which Thou did promise him,
         saying, There shall not fail Thee a man in My sight to sit upon the throne of Israel;
        provided Thy sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as Thou have walked before Me.
1Ki 8:26 And now, God of Israel, let Thy word, I pray Thee, be verified, which Thou did speak to Thy servant David my father.
1Ki 8:27 But shall GOD indeed dwell on the Earth? Behold, the Heaven and Heavens of Heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this house that I have built?
1Ki 8:28 Yet have Thou respect to the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer, which Thy servant prays before Thee this day:
1Ki 8:29 that Thy eyes may be open towards this house night and day, towards the place of which Thou have said, My name shall be there: that Thou may listen to the prayer which Thy servant shall make towards this place.
1Ki 8:30 And listen Thou to the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, when they shall pray towards this place: and hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwelling-place: and when Thou hear, forgive.
1Ki 8:31 If a man shall sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath shall come before Thy Altar in this house;
1Ki 8:32 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.
1Ki 8:33 When Thy people Israel shall be smitten before the enemy, because they have sinned against Thee;
         and shall return and confess Thy name, and pray, and make supplication to Thee in this house:
1Ki 8:34 then hear Thou in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which Thou gave to their fathers.
1Ki 8:35 When the Heaven is shut, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against Thee;
         if they pray towards this place, and confess Thy name, and turn from their sin, when Thou afflict them;
1Ki 8:36 then hear Thou in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel,
        when Thou have taught them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon Thy land, which Thou have given to Thy people for an inheritance.
1Ki 8:37 If there shall be in the land famine,
         if there shall be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, [or] if there shall be caterpillar;
         if their enemy shall besiege them in the land of their cities,
         whatever plague, whatever sickness [there shall be];
1Ki 8:38 whatever prayer, whatever supplication shall be [made] by any man, [or] by all Thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands towards this house:
1Ki 8:39 then hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart Thou know; (for Thou, [even] Thou only, know the hearts of all the sons of men).
1Ki 8:40 That they may fear Thee all the days that they live in the land which Thou gave to our fathers.
1Ki 8:41 And concerning a stranger, that [is] not of Thy people Israel, but comes out of a far country for Thy name's sake;
1Ki 8:42 (for they shall hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy out-stretched arm); when he shall come and pray towards this house.
1Ki 8:43 Hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to Thee for: that all peoples of the Earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee,
        as [do] Thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Thy name.
1Ki 8:44 If Thy people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever Thou shall send them, and shall pray to the LORD towards the city which Thou have chosen, and [towards] the house that I have built for Thy name.
1Ki 8:45 Then hear Thou in Heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
1Ki 8:46 If they shall sin against Thee, (for [there is] no man that sins not), and Thou shall be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far or near.
1Ki 8:47 [Yet] if they turn their heart back in the land where they were carried captives, and repent and make supplication to Thee in the land of them that carried them captives,
        saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness.
1Ki 8:48 And [so] return to Thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive, and pray to Thee towards their land,
        which Thou gave to their fathers, the city which Thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for Thy name.
1Ki 8:49 Then hear Thou their prayer and their supplication in Heaven Thy dwelling-place, and maintain their cause.
1Ki 8:50 And forgive Thy people that have sinned against Thee, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against Thee,
        and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them.
1Ki 8:51 For they [are] Thy people, and Thy inheritance, which Thou brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the furnace of iron.
1Ki 8:52 That Thy eyes may be open to the supplication of Thy servant, and to the supplication of Thy people Israel, to listen to them in all their supplications to Thee.
1Ki 8:53 For Thou did separate them from among all the people of the Earth, [to be] Thy inheritance, as Thou did speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, when Thou brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord JeHoVaH.
1Ki 8:54
        And it was [so], that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the Altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees, with his hands spread up to Heaven.
1Ki 8:55 And he stood, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel with a great voice, saying,
1Ki 8:56 Blessed [be] the LORD, that has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised: there has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses His servant!
1Ki 8:57 The LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers: let Him not leave us, nor forsake us:
1Ki 8:58 that he may incline our hearts to Him, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His Commandments, and His Statutes, and His Judgments, which He commanded our fathers.
1Ki 8:59 And let these my words with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant,
        and the cause of His people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
1Ki 8:60 that all the people of the Earth may know, that the LORD [is] GOD, [and that there is] none else.
1Ki 8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in His Statutes, and to keep His Commandments, as at this day.
1Ki 8:62 And the king, and all Israel with Him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
1Ki 8:63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand oxen, and a hundred twenty thousand sheep.
        So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the House of the LORD.
1Ki 8:64 In that day did the king consecrate the middle of the court that [was] before the House of the LORD: for there he offered burnt-offerings, and food-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings:
        because the bronze Altar that [was] before the LORD [was] too little to receive the burnt-offerings, and food-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings.
1Ki 8:65 And at that time Solomon held a Festival, and all Israel with Him, a great Congregation, from the entrance into Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days.
1Ki 8:66 On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel His people.

1Ki 9:1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the House of the LORD, and the king's house,
        and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to perform,
1Ki 9:2 that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
1Ki 9:3 And the LORD said to him, I have heard Thy prayer and Thy supplication that Thou have made before Me:
        I have hallowed this house, which Thou have built, to put My name there forever; and My eyes and My heart shall be there perpetually.
1Ki 9:4 And if Thou shall 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] shall keep My Statutes and My Judgments:
1Ki 9:5 then I shall establish the throne of Thy kingdom upon Israel forever, as I promised to David Thy father, saying, There shall not fail Thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
1Ki 9:6 If ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your sons, and shall not keep My Commandments [and] My Statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other GODS, and worship them:
1Ki 9:7 then shall I cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have hallowed for My name, shall I cast out of My sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by-word among all the peoples:
1Ki 9:8 and at this house [which] is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why has the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house?
1Ki 9:9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD GOD, who brought forth their fathers from the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other GODS,
        and have worshiped them, and served them: therefore has the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
1Ki 9:10
        And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the House of the LORD, and the king's house,
1Ki 9:11 ([now] Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
1Ki 9:12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
1Ki 9:13 And he said, What cities [are] these which Thou have given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.
1Ki 9:14 And Hiram sent to the king hundred twenty talents of gold.
1Ki 9:15 And this [is] the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the House of the LORD, and his own house,
        and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
1Ki 9:16 [For] Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it [for] a present to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
1Ki 9:17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,
1Ki 9:18 and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
1Ki 9:19 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.
1Ki 9:20 All the people [that were] left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites and Girgashites, who [were] not of the sons of Israel,
1Ki 9:21 their sons that were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bond-service to this day.
1Ki 9:22 But of the sons 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.
1Ki 9:23 These [were] the chief of the officers that [were] over Solomon's work, five hundred fifty, who bore rule over the people that wrought in the work.
1Ki 9:24 But [the] daughter of Pharaoh came up out of the city of David to her house which he had built for her: then he built Millo.
1Ki 9:25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the Altar which he built to the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the Altar that [was] before the LORD. So he finished the house.
1Ki 9:26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which [is] beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
1Ki 9:27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
1Ki 9:28 And they came to Ophir, and imported from thence gold, four hundred twenty talents, and brought [it] to king Solomon.

1Ki 10:1 {Queen of Sheba}.
        And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon,
        concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
1Ki 10:2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones:
        and when she had come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
1Ki 10:3 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not [any] thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
1Ki 10:4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
1Ki 10:5 and the provisions of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers,
        and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the House of the LORD;
        there was no more spirit in her.
1Ki 10:6 And she said to the king, [It was] a true report that I heard in My own land of Thy acts and of Thy wisdom.
1Ki 10:7 I believed not the words, until I came, and My eyes had seen:
        and behold, the half was not told me: Thy wisdom and goodness exceed the report that I heard.
1Ki 10:8 Happy [are] Thy men, happy [are] these Thy servants, who stand continually before Thee, [and] that hear Thy wisdom.
1Ki 10:9 Be blessed the LORD Thy God, who delighted in Thee, to set Thee on the throne of Israel!
        Because the LORD loves Israel forever, therefore he made Thee king, to do judgment and justice.
1Ki 10:10 And she gave the king a hundred twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great quantity, and precious stones:
        there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
1Ki 10:11
        And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
1Ki 10:12 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the House of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor have they been seen to this day.
1Ki 10:13 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides [that] which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.

1Ki 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty six talents of gold;
1Ki 10:15 besides [what he had] of the merchants, and of the traffic of the spice-merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
1Ki 10:16 And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one shield.
1Ki 10:17 And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
1Ki 10:18 And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
1Ki 10:19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne [was] round behind: and [there were] stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
1Ki 10:20 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.
1Ki 10:21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels [were of] gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [were of] pure gold; none [were of] silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
1Ki 10:22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
1Ki 10:23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the Earth in riches and in wisdom.
1Ki 10:24 And all the Earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which GOD had put in his heart.
1Ki 10:25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
1Ki 10:26 And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
1Ki 10:27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made as the sycamore-trees that [are] in the valley, for abundance.
1Ki 10:28 And Solomon had horses brought from Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
1Ki 10:29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring [them] out by their means.

1Ki 11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, [and] Hittites;
1Ki 11:2 of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said to the sons of Israel,
        Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you: [for] surely, they shall turn away your heart after their gods:
        Solomon cleaved to these in love.
1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
1Ki 11:4
        And 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.
1Ki 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
1Ki 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father.
1Ki 11:7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the mountain that [is] before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the sons of Ammon.
1Ki 11:8 And so did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
1Ki 11:9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD, God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
1Ki 11:10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other GODS: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
1Ki 11:11 Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by Thee, and Thou have not kept My Covenant and My Statutes which I have commanded Thee,
        I shall surely rend the kingdom from Thee, and shall give it to Thy servant.
1Ki 11:12 Nevertheless in Thy days, I shall not do it, for David Thy father's sake: [but] I shall rend it out of the hand of Thy son.
1Ki 11:13 Yet, I shall not rend away all the kingdom; [but] shall give one tribe to Thy son for My servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
1Ki 11:14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he [was] of the king's seed in Edom.
1Ki 11:15 And it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;
1Ki 11:16 (for six months did Joab remain there, and all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom).
1Ki 11:17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad [being] yet a little child.
1Ki 11:18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them from Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt; who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
1Ki 11:19 And Hadad found great grace in the eyes of Pharaoh, so that he gave him for a wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
1Ki 11:20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.
1Ki 11:21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
1Ki 11:22 And Pharaoh said to him, But what have Thou lacked with me, that, behold, Thou seek to go to Thy own country? And he answered, Nothing: yet, in any wise let me go.
1Ki 11:23 And GOD stirred him up [another] adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.
1Ki 11:24 And he gathered men to him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt in it, and reigned in Damascus.
1Ki 11:25 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.
1Ki 11:26
        And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name [was] Zeruah, a widow woman, even he raised [his] hand against the king.
1Ki 11:27 And this [was] the cause why he raised [his] hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, [and] repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.
1Ki 11:28 And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty man of valour: and Solomon, seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the House of Joseph.
1Ki 11:29 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.
1Ki 11:30 Ahijah caught the new garment that [was] on him, and rent it [in] twelve pieces.
1Ki 11:31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take Thee ten pieces: for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel,
        Behold, I shall rend the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and shall give ten tribes to Thee;
1Ki 11:32 (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).
1Ki 11:33
        Because they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon,
        and have not walked in My ways, to do [that which is] right in My eyes, and [to keep] My Statutes and My Judgments, as [did] David his father.
1Ki 11:34 Yet I shall not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I shall make him prince all the days of his life for My servant David's sake, whom I chose, because he kept My Commandments and My Statutes:
1Ki 11:35 but I shall take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and shall give it to Thee, ten tribes.
1Ki 11:36 And to his son I shall give one tribe, that David My servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Me to put My name there.
1Ki 11:37 And I shall take Thee, and Thou shall reign according to all that Thy soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
1Ki 11:38 And it shall be, if Thou shall listen to all that I command Thee, and shall walk in My ways, and do right in My eyes, to keep My Statutes and My Commandments, as David My servant did; that I shall be with Thee,
        and build Thee a sure house, as I built for David, and shall give Israel to Thee.
1Ki 11:39 And I shall for this afflict the seed of David, but not forever.
1Ki 11:40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
1Ki 11:41 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?
1Ki 11:42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [was] forty years.
1Ki 11:43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

1Ki 12:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem had all Israel come to make him king.
1Ki 12:2
        And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard [of it],
        (for he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt).
1Ki 12:3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the Congregation of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
1Ki 12:4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease Thou the grievous service of Thy father,
         and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we shall serve Thee.
1Ki 12:5 And he said to them, Depart yet [for] three days, then come back to me. And the people departed.
1Ki 12:6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived,
         and said, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
1Ki 12:7 And they spoke to him, saying, If Thou shall be a servant to this people this day, and shall serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they shall be Thy servants forever.
1Ki 12:8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that had grown up with him, [and] who stood before him.
1Ki 12:9 And he said to them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me,
        saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that Thy father put upon us?
1Ki 12:10 And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him, saying,
        Thus shall Thou speak to this people who spoke to Thee,
        saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make Thou [it] to us lighter;
        thus shall Thou say to them,
        My little [finger] shall be thicker than my father's loins.
1Ki 12:11 And now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke,
        I shall add to your yoke: my father has chastised you with whips,
        but I shall chastise you with scorpions.
1Ki 12:12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day,
        as the king had spoken, saying, Come back to me on the third day.
1Ki 12:13 And the king answered the people roughly,
        and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
1Ki 12:14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men,
        saying, my father made your yoke heavy,
        and I shall add to your yoke:
        my father chastised you with whips,
        but I shall chastise you with scorpions.
1Ki 12:15 And the king listened not to the people;
        for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying,
        which the LORD has spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1Ki 12:16 So when all Israel saw that the king listened not to them, the people answered the king,
        saying, What portion have we in David?
        Neither [have we] inheritance in the son of Jesse:
        to your tents, Israel: now see to Thy own house,
        David. So Israel departed to their tents.
1Ki 12:17 But [as for] the sons of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
1Ki 12:18 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 enter his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
1Ki 12:19 And Israel rebelled against the House of David to this day.

1Ki 12:20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent and called him to the Congregation,
        and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the House of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
1Ki 12:21 And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the House of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred eighty thousand chosen men,
        who were warriors, to fight against the House of Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
1Ki 12:22 And the Word of GOD came to Shemaiah the man of GOD, saying,
1Ki 12:23 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon king of Judah, and to all the House of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
1Ki 12:24 Thus says the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the sons of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me.
        They listened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
1Ki 12:25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in Mount Ephraim, and dwelt in it, and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
1Ki 12:26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the House of David:
1Ki 12:27 if this people go up to perform sacrifice in the House of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn back to their lord,
        to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
1Ki 12:28 Upon which the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold,
        and said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold Thy gods, Israel, which brought Thee up out of the land of Egypt.
1Ki 12:29 And he set the one in Beth-El, and the other he placed in Dan.
1Ki 12:30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went [to worship] before the one, to Dan.
1Ki 12:31 And he made a house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
1Ki 12:32 And Jeroboam ordained a festival in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the Festival that [is] in Judah, and he offered upon the Altar.
        So did he in Beth-El, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-El the priests of the high places which he had made.
1Ki 12:33 So he offered upon the Altar which he had made in Beth-El the fifteenth day of the eighth month,
        in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a festival to the sons of Israel: and he offered upon the Altar, and burnt incense.
1Ki 13:1
        And behold, there came a man of GOD out of Judah by the word of the LORD to Beth-El: and Jeroboam stood by the Altar to burn incense.
1Ki 13:2 And he cried against the Altar in the word of the LORD, and said,
        Altar, Altar, thus says the LORD; Behold, a son shall be born to the House of David, Josiah by name;
        and upon Thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon Thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon Thee.
1Ki 13:3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the sign which the LORD has spoken; Behold, the Altar shall be rent, and the ashes that [are] upon it shall be poured out.
1Ki 13:4 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of GOD, who 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 draw it back to him.
1Ki 13:5 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.
1Ki 13:6 And the king answered and said to the man of GOD, Entreat now the Face of the LORD Thy God, and pray for Me, that My hand may be restored back to me.
        And the man of GOD besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored back to him, and became as [it was] before.
1Ki 13:7 And the king said to the man of GOD, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I shall give Thee a reward.
1Ki 13:8 And the man of GOD said to the king, If Thou shall give me half Thy house, I shall not go in with Thee, neither shall I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
1Ki 13:9 for so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn back by the same way that Thou came.
1Ki 13:10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-El.
1Ki 13:11 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 to the king, them they told also to their father.
1Ki 13:12 And their father said to them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of GOD went, who came from Judah.
1Ki 13:13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode upon it.
1Ki 13:14 And went after the man of GOD, and found him sitting under the terebinth: and he said to him, [Are] Thou the man of GOD that came from Judah? And he said, I [am].
1Ki 13:15 Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
1Ki 13:16 And he said, I may not return with Thee, nor go in with Thee: neither shall I eat bread nor drink water with Thee in this place:
1Ki 13:17 for it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn back to go by the way that Thou came.
1Ki 13:18 And he said to him, I [am] a prophet also as Thou [are]; and an Angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying,
        Bring him back with Thee into Thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied to him.
1Ki 13:19 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
1Ki 13:20
        And it came to pass, as they sat at the table. Then came the word of the LORD to the prophet that brought him back:
1Ki 13:21 and he cried to the man of GOD that came from Judah, saying, Thus says the LORD,
        Forasmuch as Thou have disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and have not kept the Commandment which the LORD Thy God commanded Thee,
1Ki 13:22 but have returned, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place, of which He said to Thee,
        Eat no bread, and drink no water; Thy carcass shall not come to the sepulchre of Thy fathers.
1Ki 13:23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drank, that he saddled for him the ass, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
1Ki 13:24 And when he had 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.
1Ki 13:25 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.
1Ki 13:26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard [of it], he said, It [is] the man of GOD, who was disobedient to the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion,
        which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to him.
1Ki 13:27 And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
1Ki 13:28 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.
1Ki 13:29 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.
1Ki 13:30 And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!
1Ki 13:31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons,
        saying, When I [am] dead, then bury me in the sepulchre in which the man of GOD [is] buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
1Ki 13:32 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.
1Ki 13:33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places:
        whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became [one] of the priests of the high places.
1Ki 13:34 And this thing became the sin to the House of Jeroboam, even to cut [it off], and to destroy [it] from the face of the Earth.

1Ki 14:1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
1Ki 14:2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray Thee, and disguise thyself, that Thou may not be known to be the wife of Jeroboam;
        and go to Shiloh: behold, there [is] Ahijah the prophet, who told me that [I should be] king over this people.
1Ki 14:3 And take with Thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a bottle of honey, and go to him: he shall tell Thee what shall become of the child.
1Ki 14:4 And the wife of Jeroboam 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.
1Ki 14:5 And the LORD said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to ask a thing of Thee for her son; for he [is] sick:
        thus and thus shall Thou say to her: for it shall be, when she comes in, that she shall feign herself [to be] another [woman].
1Ki 14:6 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 feign Thou thyself [to be] another? For I [am] sent to Thee [with] heavy [tidings].
1Ki 14:7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted Thee from among the people, and made Thee prince over My people Israel,
1Ki 14:8 and rent the kingdom away from the House of David, and gave it to Thee: and [yet] Thou have not been as My servant David,
        who kept My Commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do [that] only [which was] right in My eyes;
1Ki 14:9 but have done evil above all that were before Thee: for Thou have gone and made Thee other GODS, and molten images, to provoke Me to anger, and have cast me behind Thy back:
1Ki 14:10 therefore behold, I shall bring calamity upon the House of Jeroboam, and shall cut off from Jeroboam the wall-pissers{males}, [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel,
        and shall take away the remnant of the House of Jeroboam, as a man takes away dung, until it is all gone.
1Ki 14:11 Him that dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat:
         for the LORD has spoken.
1Ki 14:12 Arise Thou therefore, depart to Thy own house: [and] when Thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
1Ki 14:13 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 towards the LORD, God of Israel in the House of Jeroboam.
1Ki 14:14 And the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the House of Jeroboam that day: but what? Even now.
1Ki 14:15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land,
        which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their Asherim, provoking the LORD to anger.
1Ki 14:16 And he shall give up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned, and who made Israel to sin.
1Ki 14:17 And the wife of Jeroboam arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: [and] when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
1Ki 14:18 and they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.
1Ki 14:19 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.
1Ki 14:20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned [were] twenty two years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

1Ki 14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam [was] forty one years old when he began to reign,
        and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem,
        the city which the LORD chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there.
        And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.
1Ki 14:22 And Judah did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
1Ki 14:23 For they also built for themselves high places, and pillars and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
1Ki 14:24 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 sons of Israel.
1Ki 14:25
        And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
1Ki 14:26 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.
1Ki 14:27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead bronze shields, and committed [them] to the hands of the chief of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.
1Ki 14:28 And it was [so], when the king went into the House of the LORD, that the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
1Ki 14:29 And 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?
1Ki 14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.
1Ki 14:31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David.
        And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.
        Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

1Ki 15:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
1Ki 15:2 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1Ki 15:3 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.
1Ki 15:4 But for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
1Ki 15:5 because David did right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
1Ki 15:6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
1Ki 15:7 And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did,
       [are] they not written in the Book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
        And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
1Ki 15:8 And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

1Ki 15:9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
1Ki 15:10 And forty one years reigned he in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1Ki 15:11 And Asa did right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father.
1Ki 15:12 And he banished the sodomites from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
1Ki 15:13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in an Asherah; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.
1Ki 15:14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
1Ki 15:15 And he brought the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the House of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
1Ki 15:16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
1Ki 15:17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
1Ki 15:18 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,
1Ki 15:19 [There is] a league between me and Thee, [and] between my father and Thy father:
        behold, I have sent to Thee a present of silver and gold; come and break Thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
1Ki 15:20 And Ben-Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of the armies 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.
1Ki 15:21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [of it], that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
1Ki 15:22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none [was] exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah,
        and its timber, with which Baasha had built it; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
1Ki 15:23 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.
1Ki 15:24 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.

1Ki 15:25 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.
1Ki 15:26 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
1Ki 15:27 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.
1Ki 15:28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

1Ki 15:29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] he smote all the House of Jeroboam;
        he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him,
        according to the saying of the LORD, which He spoke by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
1Ki 15:30 because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel to sin,
        by his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, God of Israel to anger.
1Ki 15:31 And 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?
1Ki 15:32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
1Ki 15:33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty four years.
1Ki 15:34 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
1Ki 16:1
        Then came the word of the LORD to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
1Ki 16:2 Forasmuch as I exalted Thee from the dust, and made Thee prince over My people Israel;
        and Thou have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made My people Israel to sin, to provoke Me to anger with their sins;
1Ki 16:3 Behold, I shall take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house;
        and shall make Thy house like the House of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1Ki 16:4 Him that dies of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
1Ki 16:5 And 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?
1Ki 16:6 And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

1Ki 16:7 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 eyes 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.
1Ki 16:8
        In the twenty sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
1Ki 16:9 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.
1Ki 16:10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
1Ki 16:11
        And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat upon his throne, [that] he slew all the House of Baasha:
        he left him no wall-pissers{males} neither of his kinsman, nor of his friends.
1Ki 16:12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the House of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke against Baasha, by the hand of Jehu the prophet,
1Ki 16:13 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.
1Ki 16:14 And 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?
1Ki 16:15 In the twenty 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.
1Ki 16:16 And the people [that were] encamped heard it said, Zimri has conspired, and has also slain the king:
        therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
1Ki 16:17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
1Ki 16:18 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,
1Ki 16:19 for his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the eyes of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
1Ki 16:20 And 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?
1Ki 16:21 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.
1Ki 16:22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

1Ki 16:23 In the thirty first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
1Ki 16:24 And he bought the mountain Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the mountain, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the mountain, Samaria.
1Ki 16:25 But Omri did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that [were] before him.
1Ki 16:26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
1Ki 16:27 And 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?
1Ki 16:28 And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

1Ki 16:29 And in the thirty eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel:
        and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty two years.
1Ki 16:30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the eyes of the LORD above all that [were] before him.
1Ki 16:31
        And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
        that he took [as] wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.
1Ki 16:32 And he erected an Altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
1Ki 16:33 Ahab made an Asherah; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
1Ki 16:34 In his days Hiel the Beth-Elite built Jericho: he laid the foundation of it in Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates of it in his youngest [son] Segub,
        according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of Joshua the son of Nun. [Jos 6:26]

1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite [who was] of the sojourners of Gilead, said to Ahab,
        [As] the LORD, God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to My word.
1Ki 17:2 Then came the word of the LORD to him, saying,
1Ki 17:3 Depart hence, and turn Thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that [is] before the Jordan.
1Ki 17:4 And it shall be, [that] Thou shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed Thee there.
1Ki 17:5 So he went and did according to the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that [is] before the Jordan.
1Ki 17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
1Ki 17:7
        And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
1Ki 17:8 Then came the word of the LORD to him, saying,
1Ki 17:9 Arise, go to Zarephath, which [belongs] to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain Thee.
1Ki 17:10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman [was] there gathering sticks: and he called to her,
        and said, Bring me, I pray Thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
1Ki 17:11 And as she was going to bring [it], he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray Thee, a morsel of bread in Thy hand.
1Ki 17:12 And she said, [As] the LORD Thy God lives, 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.
1Ki 17:13 And Elijah said to her, Fear not; go [and] do as Thou have said: but make me of it a little cake first, and bring [it] to me, and afterward make for Thee and for Thy son.
1Ki 17:14 For thus says 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 sends rain upon the Earth.
1Ki 17:15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days.
1Ki 17:16 The barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of Elijah.
1Ki 17:17 And it came to pass after these [that] the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe, that there was no breath left in him.
1Ki 17:18 And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with Thee, Thou man of GOD? Are Thou come to me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
1Ki 17:19 And he said to her, Give me Thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abiding, and laid him upon his own bed.
1Ki 17:20 And he cried to the LORD, and said, LORD my God, have Thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
1Ki 17:21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to the LORD, and said, LORD my God, I pray Thee, let this child's soul come back into him.
1Ki 17:22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back into him, and he revived.
1Ki 17:23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother: and Elijah said, See, Thy son lives.
1Ki 17:24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know [that] Thou [are] a man of GOD, and that the word of the LORD in Thy mouth [is] truth.

1Ki 18:1 And it came to pass [after] many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year,
        saying, Go, show thyself to Ahab; and I shall send rain upon the land.
1Ki 18:2 And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And [there was] a grievous famine in Samaria.
1Ki 18:3 Ahab called Obadiah who [was] over the household. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
1Ki 18:4 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).
1Ki 18:5 And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go into the land, to all fountains of water, and to all brooks: it may be we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
1Ki 18:6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
1Ki 18:7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, [Are] Thou that my lord Elijah?
1Ki 18:8 And he answered him, I [am]: go, tell Thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].
1Ki 18:9 And he said, What have I sinned, that Thou would deliver Thy servant into the hand of Ahab to slay me?
1Ki 18:10 [As] the LORD Thy God lives, there is no nation nor kingdom, where my lord has 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.
1Ki 18:11 And now Thou say, Go, tell Thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].
1Ki 18:12 And it shall be, [as soon as] I have gone from Thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry Thee where I know not; and [so] when I come and tell Ahab,
        and he cannot find Thee, he shall slay me: but I, Thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
1Ki 18:13 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?
1Ki 18:14 And now Thou say, Go, tell Thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here]: and he shall slay me.
1Ki 18:15 And Elijah said, [As] the LORD of Sabaoth lives, before whom I stand, I shall surely show myself to him today.
1Ki 18:16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
1Ki 18:17
        And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, [Are] Thou he who troubles Israel?
1Ki 18:18 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 have followed Baalim.
1Ki 18:19 And now send, [and] gather to me all Israel to Mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.
1Ki 18:20 And Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and gathered the prophets to Mount Carmel.
1Ki 18:21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, Until when limping ye between two opinions?
        If the LORD [is] GOD, follow him: but if Baal, [then] follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
1Ki 18:22 Then said Elijah to the people, I, [even] I only remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets [are] four hundred fifty men.
1Ki 18:23 Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves,
        and cut it in pieces, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]: and I shall dress the other bull, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]:
1Ki 18:24 and call ye on the name of your Gods, and I shall call on the name of the LORD: and the GOD that answers by fire, let him be GOD. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
1Ki 18:25 And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bull for yourselves, and dress [it] first; for ye [are] many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire [under].
1Ki 18:26 And they took the bull which was given them, and they dressed [it], and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon,
        saying, Baal, reply us. But [there was] no voice and none answering. And they limped upon the Altar which was made.
1Ki 18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them,
        and said, Cry aloud: for he [is] a GOD; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is on a journey, [or] perhaps he sleeps, and must be awoke.
1Ki 18:28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and pikes, until the blood gushed out upon them.
1Ki 18:29 And it came to pass, when noon was past, and they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that [there was] no voice and none answering, and no attention.
1Ki 18:30 And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the Altar of the LORD [that was] broken down.
1Ki 18:31 And Elijah took twelve Stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be Thy name:
1Ki 18:32 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 seahs of seed.
1Ki 18:33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour [it] on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.
1Ki 18:34 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.
1Ki 18:35 And the water ran around the Altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
1Ki 18:36 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 Israel,
        let it be known this day that Thou [are] GOD in Israel, and [that] I [am] Thy servant, and [that] I have done all these [things] at Thy word.
1Ki 18:37 Reply me, LORD, reply me, that this people may know that Thou [are] the LORD GOD, and [that] Thou have turned their heart back again.
1Ki 18:38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that [was] in the trench.
1Ki 18:39 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.
1Ki 18:40 And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
1Ki 18:41
        And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for [there is] a sound of abundance of rain.
1Ki 18:42 And Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the ground, and put his face between his knees,
1Ki 18:43 and said to his servant, Go up now, look towards the sea. And he went up and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
1Ki 18:44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there arises a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand.
        And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare Thy [chariot], and go down, that the rain may not hinder Thee.
1Ki 18:45 And it came to pass in the meantime, that the Heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
1Ki 18:46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

1Ki 19:1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
1Ki 19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the GODS do [to me], and more also, if I make not Thy soul as the soul of one of them by Tomorrow about this time.
1Ki 19:3 And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his soul, and came to Beer-Sheba, which [belongs] to Judah, and left his servant there.
1Ki 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for his soul that he might die;
        and said, It is enough; now, LORD, take away my soul; for I [am] not better than my fathers.
1Ki 19:5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper-tree, behold, then an Angel touched him, and said to him, Arise [and] eat.
1Ki 19:6 And he looked, and behold, [there was] a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his bolster. And he ate and drank, and laid himself down again.
1Ki 19:7 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.
1Ki 19:8 And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount of GOD.
1Ki 19:9 And he came there to a cave, and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and said to him, What do Thou here, Elijah?
1Ki 19:10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, God of Sabaoth; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy Covenant,
        [LORD], they have killed Thy prophets, (with the sword) and dig down Thy Altars; and I was left alone, and they seek my soul (to take it away). [Rom 11:3]
1Ki 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the Mount before the LORD.
          And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains,
        and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake:
1Ki 19:12 and after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
1Ki 19:13 And it was [so], when Elijah heard [it], that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave.
        And behold, [there came] a voice to him, and said, What do Thou here, Elijah?
1Ki 19:14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, God of Sabaoth; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy Covenant, thrown down Thy Altars,
          [LORD], they have killed Thy prophets, (with the sword) and dig down Thy Altars; and I was left alone, and they seek my soul (to take it away). [Rom 11:3]
1Ki 19:15 And the LORD said to him, Go, return on Thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when Thou come, anoint Hazael [to be] king over Syria:
1Ki 19:16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shall Thou anoint [to be] king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shall Thou anoint [to be] prophet in Thy room.
1Ki 19:17 And it shall be, [that] him that escapes the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
1Ki 19:18 I have reserved to Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal, [Rom 11:4]
        and every mouth which has not kissed him.
1Ki 19:19
        So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who [was] ploughing [with] twelve yokes [of oxen] before him,
        and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
1Ki 19:20 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 shall follow Thee.
        And he said to him, Go back: for what have I done to Thee?
1Ki 19:21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people,
        and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.

1Ki 20:1 And Ben-Hadad the king of Syria collected all his army: and [there were] thirty two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
1Ki 20:2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-Hadad,
1Ki 20:3 Thy silver and Thy gold [is] mine; and Thy wives and Thy sons, the most comely, [are] mine.
1Ki 20:4 And the king of Israel answered and said, my lord, king, according to Thy saying, I [am] Thy, and all that I have.
1Ki 20:5 And the messengers came back, and said, Thus speaks Ben-Hadad, saying, Although I have sent to Thee, saying,
        Thou shall deliver to me Thy silver, and Thy gold, and Thy wives and Thy sons;
1Ki 20:6 yet I shall send my servants to Thee Tomorrow about this time, and they shall search Thy house, and the houses of Thy servants;
        and it shall be, [that] whatever is pleasant in Thy eyes, they shall take [it] in their hand, and carry [it] away.
1Ki 20:7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said,
        Mark, I pray you, and see how this [man] seeks mischief: for he sent to me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I denied him not.
1Ki 20:8 And all the elders and all the people said to him, Listen not [to him], nor consent.
1Ki 20:9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, Tell my lord the king,
        All that Thou did send for to Thy servant at the first, I shall do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
1Ki 20:10 And Ben-Hadad sent to him, and said, May the GODS do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow my steps.
1Ki 20:11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girds on [his harness] boast himself as he who puts it off.
1Ki 20:12
        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 to his servants, Set [yourselves in array]. And they set [themselves in array] against the city.
1Ki 20:13 And behold, there came a prophet to Ahab king of Israel, saying,
        Thus says the LORD, Have Thou seen all this great multitude?
        Behold, I shall deliver it into Thy hand this day;
        and Thou shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
1Ki 20:14 Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says the LORD, By the young men of the princes of the provinces.
        And he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
1Ki 20:15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred thirty two:
        and after them he numbered all the people, all the sons of Israel, [being] seven thousand.
1Ki 20:16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-Hadad [was] drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty two kings that helped him.
1Ki 20:17 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.
1Ki 20:18 And he said, Whether they have come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they have come out for war, take them alive.
1Ki 20:19 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
1Ki 20:20 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.
1Ki 20:21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
1Ki 20:22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said to him,
        Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what Thou do: for at the return of the year the king of Syria shall come up against Thee.
1Ki 20:23 And the servants of the king of Syria said to him,
        Their gods [are] gods of the mountains; therefore they were stronger than we;
        but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
1Ki 20:24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
1Ki 20:25 and number Thee an army, like the army that Thou have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot:
        and we shall fight against them in the plain, [and] surely we shall be stronger than they.
        And he listened to their voice, and did so.
1Ki 20:26 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.
1Ki 20:27 And the sons of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them.
          And the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
1Ki 20:28 And there came a man of GOD, and spoke to the king of Israel, and said,
        Thus says the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD [is] a God of the mountains, but He [is] not a God of the valleys,
        therefore shall I deliver all this great multitude into Thy hand,
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
1Ki 20:29 And they encamped one opposed to the other seven days.
        And [so] it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the sons of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
1Ki 20:30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and [there] a wall fell upon twenty seven thousand of the men [that were] left. And Ben-Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
1Ki 20:31 And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the House of Israel [are] merciful kings:
        let us, I pray Thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: it may be he shall save Thy soul.
1Ki 20:32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and [put] ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said,
        Thy servant Ben-Hadad said, I pray Thee, let my soul live. And he said, [Is] he yet alive? He [is] my brother.
1Ki 20:33 Now the men diligently observed whether [anything would come] from him, and did hastily catch [it]: and they said,
        Thy brother Ben-Hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-Hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
1Ki 20:34 And he said to him, The cities, which my father took from Thy father, I shall restore; and Thou shall make streets for Thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.
        Then [said Ahab], I shall send Thee away with this Covenant. So he made a Covenant with him, and sent him away.
1Ki 20:35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray Thee. And the man refused to smite him.
1Ki 20:36 Then said he to him, Because Thou have not obeyed the voice of the LORD,
        behold, as soon as Thou have departed from me, a lion shall slay Thee. And as soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
1Ki 20:37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray Thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded [him].
1Ki 20:38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with a bandage upon his eyes.
1Ki 20:39 And as the king passed by, he cried to the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me,
        and said, Keep this man: if by any means he shall be missing, then shall Thy soul be for his soul, or else Thou shall pay a talent of silver.
1Ki 20:40 And as Thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So [shall] Thy judgment [be]; thyself have decided [it].
1Ki 20:41 And he hasted, and took the bandage away from his eyes; and the king of Israel discerned him that he [was] of the prophets.
1Ki 20:42 And he said to him, Thus says the LORD, Because Thou have let go out of [Thy] hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore Thy soul shall go for his soul, and Thy people for his people.
1Ki 20:43 And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.

1Ki 21:1 And it came to pass after these words, [that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which [was] in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
1Ki 21:2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me Thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs,
        because it [is] near to my house: and I shall give Thee for it a better vineyard than it; [or] if it seems good to Thee, I shall give Thee the worth of it in money.
1Ki 21:3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD let it not be that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to Thee.
1Ki 21:4 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 shall not give Thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
1Ki 21:5 And Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is Thy spirit so sad, that Thou eat no bread?
1Ki 21:6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him,
        Give me Thy vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases Thee, I shall give Thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I shall not give Thee my vineyard.
1Ki 21:7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, do Thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, [and] eat bread, and let Thy heart be merry: I shall give Thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
1Ki 21:8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed [them] with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles that [were] in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
1Ki 21:9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
1Ki 21:10 and set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou did blaspheme GOD and the king.
        And [then] carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
1Ki 21:11 And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent to them.
1Ki 21:12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
1Ki 21:13 And there came in two men, sons of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people,
        saying, Naboth blasphemed GOD and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
1Ki 21:14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
1Ki 21:15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite,
        which he refused to give Thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
1Ki 21:16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
1Ki 21:17 Then came the word of the LORD to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1Ki 21:18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess it.
1Ki 21:19 And Thou shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the LORD, Have Thou killed, and also taken possession? And Thou shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the LORD,
        In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick Thy blood, even Thy.
1Ki 21:20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have Thou found me, my enemy? And he answered, I have found [Thee]: because Thou have sold thyself to work evil in the eyes of the LORD.
1Ki 21:21 Behold, I shall bring calamity upon Thee, and shall take away Thy posterity, and shall cut off from Ahab [the] wall-pissers{males}, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
1Ki 21:22 and shall make Thy house like the House of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the House of Baasha the son of Ahijah,
        for the provocation with which Thou have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
1Ki 21:23 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, the dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
1Ki 21:24 Him that dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
1Ki 21:25 But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to work wickedness in the eyes of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife instigated.
1Ki 21:26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all [things] as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the sons of Israel.
1Ki 21:27
        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.
1Ki 21:28 Then came the word of the LORD to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1Ki 21:29 See Thou how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I shall not bring the evil in his days: [but] in his son's days shall I bring the evil upon his house.

1Ki 22:1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
1Ki 22:2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
1Ki 22:3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead [is] ours, and we [are] still, [and] take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
1Ki 22:4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will Thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead?
        And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I [am] as Thou [are], my people as Thy people, my horses as Thy horses.
1Ki 22:5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray Thee, at the word of the LORD today.
1Ki 22:6 Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets,
        about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?
        And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
1Ki 22:7 And Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may inquire of him?
1Ki 22:8 And the king of Israel said to 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 does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.
         And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
1Ki 22:9 And the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten [here] Micaiah the son of Imlah.
1Ki 22:10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a threshing-floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria;
        and all the prophets prophesied before them.
1Ki 22:11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said,
        Thus says the LORD, With these Thou shall push Syria until they be consumed.
1Ki 22:12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying,
        Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
1Ki 22:13 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah, spoke to him, saying,
          Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one mouth:
         let Thy word, I pray Thee, be like one of theirs and speak Thou good.
1Ki 22:14 And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD lives, what the LORD said to me, that shall I speak.
1Ki 22:15 So he came to the king. And the king said to 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.
1Ki 22:16 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?
1Ki 22:17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd:
          and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
1Ki 22:18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,
          Did I not tell Thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?
1Ki 22:19 And he said, Hear Thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting upon His throne,
          and all the Army of Heaven standing by Him on His right [hand] and on His left.
1Ki 22:20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?
        And one said in this manner, and another said in that manner.
1Ki 22:21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I shall persuade him.
1Ki 22:22 And the LORD said to him, With what? And he said, I shall go forth, and I shall be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets?
        And He said, Thou shall persuade [him], and Thou prevail also: go forth, and do so.
1Ki 22:23 And now, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these Thy prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil concerning Thee.
1Ki 22:24 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said,
          Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to Thee?
1Ki 22:25 And Micaiah said, Behold, Thou shall see on that day, when Thou shall go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
1Ki 22:26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
1Ki 22:27 and say, Thus says the king, Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
1Ki 22:28 And Micaiah said, If Thou return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Listen, all [ye] peoples.
1Ki 22:29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
1Ki 22:30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,
          I shall disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put Thou on Thy robes.
          And the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
1Ki 22:31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.
1Ki 22:32
        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.
1Ki 22:33 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.
1Ki 22:34 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 Thy hand, and carry me out of the camp; for I [am] wounded.
1Ki 22:35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the middle of the chariot.
1Ki 22:36 And there went a proclamation throughout the camp about the setting of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
1Ki 22:37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.
1Ki 22:38 And [one] washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according to the word of the LORD which he spoke.
1Ki 22:39 And the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built,
         [are] they not written in the Book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1Ki 22:40 And Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

1Ki 22:41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
1Ki 22:42 Jehoshaphat [was] thirty five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty five years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
1Ki 22:43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing 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.
1Ki 22:44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
1Ki 22:45 And 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?
1Ki 22:46 And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he removed from the land.
1Ki 22:47 [There was] then no king in Edom: a deputy [was] king.
1Ki 22:48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.
1Ki 22:49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with Thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
1Ki 22:50 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.

1Ki 22:51 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.
1Ki 22:52 And he did evil in the eyes 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:
1Ki 22:53 for he served Baal, and worshiped him, and provoked to anger the LORD, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.

2Ki 1:1 [Scroll 07 Samuel-Kings (Kings 2)].
        Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2Ki 1:2 Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper room that [was] in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers,
        and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this disease.
2Ki 1:3 But an Angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria,
        and say to them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a GOD in Israel, [that] ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
2Ki 1:4 And now thus says the LORD, Thou shall not come down from that bed on which Thou are gone up, but shall surely die. And Elijah departed.
2Ki 1:5 And when the messengers turned back to him, he said to them, Why have ye now returned?
2Ki 1:6 And they said to him, There came up a man to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn back to the king who sent you, and say to him,
        Thus says the LORD, [Is it] not because [there is] not a GOD in Israel, [that] Thou send to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
        Therefore Thou shall not come down from that bed on which Thou are gone up, but shall surely die.
2Ki 1:7 And he said to them, What manner of man [was he] who came up to meet you, and told you these words?
2Ki 1:8 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.
2Ki 1:9 Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty.
        And he went up to him: and behold, he sat upon the top of a mountain. And he spoke to him, Thou man of GOD, the king has said, Come down.
2Ki 1:10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty,
        If I [am] a man of GOD, then let fire come down from Heaven, and consume Thee and Thy fifty.
        And there came down fire from Heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2Ki 1:11 Again also he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty.
        And he answered and said to him, man of GOD, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.
2Ki 1:12 And Elijah answered and said to them, If I [am] a man of GOD, let fire come down from Heaven, and consume Thee and Thy fifty.
        And the fire of GOD came down from Heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2Ki 1:13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty.
        And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah,
        and besought him, and said to him, man of GOD, I pray Thee, let my soul, and the soul of these fifty Thy servants, be precious in Thy sight.
2Ki 1:14 Behold, there came fire down from Heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my soul now be precious in Thy sight.
2Ki 1:15 And the Angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
2Ki 1:16 And he said to him, Thus says the LORD, Forasmuch as Thou have 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 shall not come down off that bed on which Thou are gone up, but shall surely die.
2Ki 1:17 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.
2Ki 1:18 And 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?

2Ki 2:1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into Heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2Ki 2:2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray Thee; for the LORD has sent me to Beth-El.
        And Elisha said, [As] the LORD lives, and [as] Thy soul lives, I shall not leave Thee. So they went down to Beth-El.
2Ki 2:3 And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Beth-El came forth to Elisha, and said to him,
        Know Thou that the LORD shall take away Thy master from Thy head today? And he answered, Yes, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
2Ki 2:4 And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray Thee; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho.
        And he said, [As] the LORD lives, and [as] Thy soul lives, I shall not leave Thee. So they came to Jericho.
2Ki 2:5 And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him,
        Know Thou that the LORD shall take away Thy master from Thy head today? And he answered, Yes, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
2Ki 2:6 And Elijah said to him, Tarry here, I pray Thee; for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.
        And he said, [As] the LORD lives, and [as] Thy soul lives, I shall not leave Thee. And they two went on.

2Ki 2:7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan.
2Ki 2:8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and smote the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.
2Ki 2:9
        And it came to pass, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha,
        Ask what I shall do for Thee, before I [am] taken away from Thee.
        And Elisha said, I pray Thee, let a double portion of Thy spirit be upon me.
2Ki 2:10 And he said, Thou have asked a hard thing: if Thou shall see me [when I am] taken from Thee, it shall be so to Thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
2Ki 2:11 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.
2Ki 2:12 And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.
        And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
2Ki 2:13 And he lifed up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan;
2Ki 2:14 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 here and there: and Elisha went over.
2Ki 2:15 And when the sons of the prophets who [were] viewing at Jericho, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha.
        And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
2Ki 2:16 And they said to him, Behold now, there are with Thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray Thee,
        and seek Thy master: lest perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
2Ki 2:17 And when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
2Ki 2:18 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho), he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
2Ki 2:19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray Thee, the situation of this city [is] pleasant, as my lord sees: but the waters [are] bad, and the ground barren.
2Ki 2:20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought [it] to him.
2Ki 2:21 And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said,
        Thus says the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren.
2Ki 2:22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
2Ki 2:23 And he went up from thence to 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 to him, Go up, Thou bald-head; go up, Thou bald-head.
2Ki 2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD.
        And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tore forty two children of them.
2Ki 2:25 And he went from thence to Mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

2Ki 3:1 Now Jehoram{Joram} the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria [in] the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2Ki 3:2 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
2Ki 3:3 Nevertheless he cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
2Ki 3:4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
2Ki 3:5
        And it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
2Ki 3:6 And king Jehoram{Joram} went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
2Ki 3:7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: shall Thou go with me against Moab to battle?
        And he said, I shall go: I [am] as Thou [are], my people as Thy people, [and] my horses as Thy horses.
2Ki 3:8 And he said, which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
2Ki 3:9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they turned around of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [were] at their feet.
2Ki 3:10 And the king of Israel said, Ah! That the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
2Ki 3:11 And 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, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
2Ki 3:12 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.
2Ki 3:13 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with Thee? Go to the prophets of Thy father, and to the prophets of Thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him,
        No: for the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
2Ki 3:14 And Elisha said, [As] the LORD of Sabaoth lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards Thee, nor see Thee.
2Ki 3:15 But now bring me a minstrel.
         And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
2Ki 3:16 And he said, Thus says the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
2Ki 3:17 For thus says 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.
2Ki 3:18 And this is [but] a light thing in the eyes of the LORD: He shall deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
2Ki 3:19 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
2Ki 3:20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the food-offering was offered, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
2Ki 3:21 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 a girdle, and upward, and stood in the border.
2Ki 3:22 And they rose early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side [as] red as blood.
2Ki 3:23 And they said, This [is] blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
2Ki 3:24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in [their] country.
2Ki 3:25 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 Kirhara-seth they left the stones of it; but the slingers went about [it], and smote it.
2Ki 3:26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom: but they could not.
2Ki 3:27 Then he took his eldest son that was to reign in his stead, and offered him [for] a burnt-offering upon the wall.
        And there was great indignation against Israel. And they departed from him, and returned to [their own] land.

2Ki 4:1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha,
        saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and Thou know that Thy servant feared the LORD: and the creditor has come to take to him my two children to be bondmen.
2Ki 4:2 And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for Thee? Tell me, what have Thou in the house?
        And she said, Thy handmaid has not anything in the house, except a pot of oil.
2Ki 4:3 Then he said, Go, borrow Thee vessels abroad of all Thy neighbours, empty vessels; borrow not a few.
2Ki 4:4 And when Thou have come in, Thou shall shut the door upon Thee and upon Thy sons, and shall pour out into all those vessels, and Thou shall set aside that which is full.
2Ki 4:5 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.
2Ki 4:6
        And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son,
        Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, [There is] not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
2Ki 4:7 Then she came and told the man of GOD. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay Thy debt, and live Thou and Thy sons on the remainder.
2Ki 4:8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where [was] a distinguished woman; and she constrained him to eat bread.
        And [so] it was, [that] as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
2Ki 4:9 And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this [is] a Holy man of GOD, who passes by us continually.
2Ki 4:10 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 seat, and a lampstand: and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there.
2Ki 4:11 And it fell on a day, that he came there, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.
2Ki 4:12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunamite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
2Ki 4:13 And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, Thou have been careful for us with all this care; what [is] to be done for Thee?
        Would Thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army? And she answered, I dwell among my own people.
2Ki 4:14 And he said, What then [is] to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Truly she has no son, and her husband is old.
2Ki 4:15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
2Ki 4:16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, Thou shall embrace a son.
        And she said, No, my lord, [Thou] man of GOD, do not lie to Thy handmaid.
2Ki 4:17 And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said to her, according to the time of life.
2Ki 4:18 And when the child was grown, it happened on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
2Ki 4:19 And he said to his father, my head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
2Ki 4:20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat upon her knees until noon, and [then] died.
2Ki 4:21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of GOD, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.
2Ki 4:22 And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray Thee, one of the young men, and one of the she-asses, that I may run to the man of GOD, and come back.
2Ki 4:23 And he said, Why shall Thou go to him today? [It is] neither New Moon, nor Sabbath. And she said, [It shall be] well.
2Ki 4:24 Then she saddled a she-ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not [Thy] riding for me, except I bid Thee.
2Ki 4:25 So she went and came to the man of GOD to Mount Carmel.
        And it came to pass, when the man of GOD saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, [there is] that Shunamite.
2Ki 4:26 Run now, I pray Thee, to meet her, and say to her, [Is it] well with Thee? [Is it] well with Thy husband? [Is it] well with the child? And she answered, [It is] well.
2Ki 4:27 And when she came to the man of GOD to the mountain, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away.
        And the man of GOD said, Let her alone; for her soul [is] sorrowful within her: and the LORD has hid [it] from me, and has not told me?
2Ki 4:28 Then she said, Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?
2Ki 4:29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up Thy loins and take my staff in Thy hand, and go Thy way: and if Thou shall meet a man,
        salute him not; and if any shall salute Thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
2Ki 4:30 And the mother of the child said, [As] the LORD lives, and [as] Thy soul lives, I shall not leave Thee. And he arose, and followed her.
2Ki 4:31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but [there was] neither voice, nor hearing.
        Therefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awoke.
2Ki 4:32 And when Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.
2Ki 4:33 And he went in, and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to the LORD.
2Ki 4:34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes,
        and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child became warm.
2Ki 4:35 Then he returned, and walked in the house one by one; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
2Ki 4:36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunamite. So he called her. And when she had come in to him, he said, Take up Thy son.
2Ki 4:37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
2Ki 4:38 And Elisha came back to Gilgal. And [there was] a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets [were] sitting before him:
        and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
2Ki 4:39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred [them] into the pot of pottage: for they knew [them] not.
2Ki 4:40 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, [Thou] man of GOD, [there is] death in the pot. And they could not eat [of it].
2Ki 4:41 And 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.
2Ki 4:42 And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of GOD bread of the first-fruit, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of grain in its husk. And he said, Give to the people, that they may eat.
2Ki 4:43 And his servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? He said, Give the people, that they may eat:
        for thus says the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave [of it].
2Ki 4:44 So he set [it] before them, and they ate, and left [of it], according to the word of the LORD.
2Ki 5:1 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria:
        He was also a mighty man in valour, [but he was] a leper.
2Ki 5:2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
2Ki 5:3 And she said to her mistress, Oh would that my lord [were] with the prophet that [is] in Samaria! For he would recover him of his leprosy.
2Ki 5:4 And [one] went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus says the maid that [is] of the land of Israel.
2Ki 5:5 And the king of Syria said, Come, go, and I shall send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed,
        and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
2Ki 5:6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel,
        saying, Now when this letter has come to Thee,
        behold, I have [with this] sent Naaman my servant to Thee, that Thou may recover him of his leprosy.
2Ki 5:7
        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 does send to me to recover a man of his leprosy?
        Hence consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.
2Ki 5:8 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, Why have Thou rent Thy clothes?
        Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
2Ki 5:9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
2Ki 5:10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and Thy flesh shall come back to Thee, and Thou shall be clean.
2Ki 5:11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said,
        Behold, I thought, he shall 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.
2Ki 5:12 [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.
2Ki 5:13 And his servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, my father, [if] the prophet had bid Thee [do some] great thing, would Thou not have done [it]?
        How much rather then, when he said to Thee, Wash, and be clean?
2Ki 5:14 Then he went down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of GOD:
        and his flesh came back like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
2Ki 5:15 And he returned to the man of GOD, he and all his company, and came and stood before him: and he said,
        Behold, now I know that [there is] no GOD in all the Earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray Thee, take a blessing from Thy servant.
2Ki 5:16 But he said, [As] the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I shall receive none. And he urged him to take [it]; but he refused.
2Ki 5:17 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray Thee, be given to Thy servant two mules' burden of earth?
        For Thy servant shall henceforth offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice to other GODS, but to the LORD.
2Ki 5:18 May in this thing the LORD pardon Thy servant, [that] when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there,
        and he leans 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.
2Ki 5:19 And he said to him, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little distance.
2Ki 5:20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of GOD, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian,
        in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but [as] the LORD lives, I shall run after him, and take somewhat from him.
2Ki 5:21 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?
2Ki 5:22 And he said, All [is] well. My master has sent me, saying,
        Behold, even now there have come to me from Mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray Thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
2Ki 5:23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments,
        and laid [them] upon two of his servants; and they bore [them] before him.
2Ki 5:24 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.
2Ki 5:25 But he went in, and stood before his master: and Elisha said to him, Whence Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went nowhere.
2Ki 5:26 And he said to him, Went not my heart [with Thee], when the man turned from his chariot to meet Thee?
        [Is it] a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive-yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants?
2Ki 5:27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave to Thee, and to Thy seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper [as white] as snow.
2Ki 6:1
        And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with Thee is too narrow for us.
2Ki 6:2 Let us go, we pray Thee, to the 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.
2Ki 6:3 And one said, Be content, I pray Thee, and go with Thy servants. And he answered, I shall go.
2Ki 6:4 So He went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
2Ki 6:5 But as one was felling the beam, the iron [axe] head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Ah! Master! For it was borrowed.
2Ki 6:6 And the man of GOD said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast [it] in there; and the iron floated.
2Ki 6:7 Therefore said he, Take [it] up to Thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.

2Ki 6:8 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.
2Ki 6:9 And the man of GOD sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that Thou pass not such a place; for there the Syrians have come down.
2Ki 6:10 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.
2Ki 6:11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not show me which of us [is] for the king of Israel?
2Ki 6:12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, king: but Elisha, the prophet that [is] in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words which Thou speak in Thy bed-chamber.
2Ki 6:13 And he said, Go, and spy where he [is], that I may send and bring him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothan.
2Ki 6:14 Therefore he sent there horses, and chariots, and a great army: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
2Ki 6:15 And when the servant of the man of GOD had risen early, and gone forth, behold, a army surrounding the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Ah! Master! How shall we do?
2Ki 6:16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that [are] with us [are] more than they that [are] with them.
2Ki 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man;
        and he saw: and behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
2Ki 6:18 And when they came down to him, and Elisha prayed to the LORD,
        and said, Smite this nation, I pray Thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
2Ki 6:19 And Elisha said to them, This [is] not the way, neither [is] this the city: follow me, and I shall bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
2Ki 6:20 And it came to pass, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these [men], that they may see.
        And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, [they were] in the middle of Samaria.
2Ki 6:21 And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, my father, shall I smite [them]? Shall I smite [them]?
2Ki 6:22 And he answered, Thou shall not smite [them]: would Thou smite those whom Thou have taken captive with Thy sword and with Thy bow?
        Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and may drink, and go to their master.
2Ki 6:23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drank, he sent them away, and they went to their master.
        So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
2Ki 6:24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his camp, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
2Ki 6:25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and behold, they besieged it, until an ass' head was [sold] for eighty [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five [pieces] of silver.
2Ki 6:26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him, saying, Help, my lord, king.
2Ki 6:27 And he said, If the LORD does not help Thee, whence shall I help Thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
2Ki 6:28 And the king said to her, What ails Thee? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give Thy son, that we may eat him today, and we shall eat my son tomorrow.
2Ki 6:29 So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give Thy son, that we may eat him: and she has hid her son.
2Ki 6:30
        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.
2Ki 6:31 Then he said, May GOD do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
2Ki 6:32 And Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and [the king] sent a man from before him: but before the messenger came to him,
        he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head?
        Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
2Ki 6:33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] from the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
2Ki 7:1 And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus says the LORD, Tomorrow about this time [shall] a seah of fine flour [be sold] for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2Ki 7:2 Then a captain 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 shall see [it] with Thy eyes, but shall not eat of it.
2Ki 7:3 And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
2Ki 7:4 If we should say, We shall enter into the city, then the famine [is] in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we also die.
        And now come, and let us fall to the camp of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
2Ki 7:5 And they rose in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians: and when they had come to the edge of the camp of Syria, behold, [there was] no man there.
2Ki 7:6 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, the noise of a great army: and they said one to another,
        Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
2Ki 7:7 Therefore 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 soul.
2Ki 7:8 And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried thence silver, and gold, and clothing,
        and went and hid [it]; and came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence [also], and went and hid [it].
2Ki 7:9 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 until the morning light,
        some mischief shall come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
2Ki 7:10 So they came and called to the porter of the city: and they told him, saying,
        We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, [there was] no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they [were].
2Ki 7:11 And he called the porters; and they told [it] to the king's house within.
2Ki 7:12 And the king arose in the night, and said to his servants, I shall now show you what the Syrians have done to us.
        They know that we [are] hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp, to hide themselves in the field, saying,
        When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.
2Ki 7:13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let [some] take, I pray Thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city,
        (behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, [I say], they [are] even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed): and let us send and see.
2Ki 7:14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the camp of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
2Ki 7:15 And they went after them to the Jordan: and behold, 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.
2Ki 7:16 And the people went out, and plundered the camps of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was [sold] for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
2Ki 7:17 And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of GOD had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
2Ki 7:18
        And it came to pass as the man of GOD had spoken to the king, saying, Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be Tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
2Ki 7:19 and that captain answered the man of GOD, and said, Now, behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in Heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, Thou shall see it with Thy eyes, but shall not eat of it.
2Ki 7:20 And so it happened to him: for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.

2Ki 8:1 Then Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life,
        saying, Arise, and go Thou and Thy household, and sojourn wherever Thou can sojourn: for the LORD has called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
2Ki 8:2 And the woman arose, and did according to the saying of the man of GOD: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
2Ki 8:3 And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry to the king for her house, and for her land.
2Ki 8:4 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 has done.
2Ki 8:5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had revived the dead,
        that behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land.
        And Gehazi said, my lord, king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
2Ki 8:6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying,
        Restore all that [was] hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land even until now.
2Ki 8:7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told to him, saying, The man of GOD has come here.
2Ki 8:8 And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in Thy hand, and go, meet the man of GOD, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
2Ki 8:9 And 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 has sent me to Thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
2Ki 8:10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou may certainly recover: but the LORD has showed me, that Thou dying, Thou shall die.
2Ki 8:11 And he settled his countenance steadfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of GOD wept.
2Ki 8:12 And Hazael said, Why weeps my lord?
        And he said, Because I know the evil that Thou shall do to the sons of Israel:
        their strong holds shall Thou set on fire, and their young men shall Thou slay with the sword,
        and shall dash their sons, and rip up their pregnant women.
2Ki 8:13 And Hazael said, But what, [is] Thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing?
        And Elisha answered, The LORD has shown me that Thou [shall be] king over Syria.
2Ki 8:14 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 should surely recover.
2Ki 8:15
        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.

2Ki 8:16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat [being] then king of Judah,
        Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
2Ki 8:17 Thirty two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
2Ki 8:18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the House of Ahab:
        for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD.
2Ki 8:19 Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David His servant's sake, as He promised him to give him always a Light, [and] to his sons.
2Ki 8:20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made over themselves a king.
2Ki 8:21 So Joram{Jehoram} went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night,
        and smote the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
2Ki 8:22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
2Ki 8:23 And the rest of the acts of Joram{Jehoram}, and all that he did,
         [are] they not written in the Book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2Ki 8:24 And Joram{Jehoram} slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

2Ki 8:25 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.
2Ki 8:26 Twenty two years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel. [2Ch 22:2]
2Ki 8:27 And he walked in the way of the House of Ahab. And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] the House of Ahab: for he [was] the son-in-law of the House of Ahab.
2Ki 8:28 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.
2Ki 8:29 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.
        Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
2Ki 9:1
        And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him,
        Gird up Thy loins, and take this vial of oil in Thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead:
2Ki 9:2 and when Thou come there, 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;
2Ki 9:3 then take the vial of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say,
        Thus says the LORD, I have anointed Thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
2Ki 9:4 So the young man, the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.
2Ki 9:5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the army [were] sitting; and he said,
        I have an errand to Thee, captain. And Jehu said, To which of us all? And he said, To Thee, captain.
2Ki 9:6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him,
        Thus says the LORD, God of Israel, I have anointed Thee king over the people of the LORD, over Israel.
2Ki 9:7 And Thou shall 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.
2Ki 9:8 For the whole House of Ahab shall perish: and I shall cut off from Ahab the wall-pissers{males}, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
2Ki 9:9 and I shall make the House of Ahab like the House of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the House of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
2Ki 9:10 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.
2Ki 9:11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and [one] said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad [man] to Thee?
        And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
2Ki 9:12 And they said, [It is] false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus he spoke to me,
        saying, Thus says the LORD, I have anointed Thee king over Israel.
2Ki 9:13 Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put [it] under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with shofars, saying, Jehu is king.
2Ki 9:14 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.
2Ki 9:15 But king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria).
        And Jehu said, If it is being [the will of your] souls, [then] let none go forth [nor] escape from the city to go to tell [it] in Jezreel.
2Ki 9:16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
2Ki 9:17 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?
2Ki 9:18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus says the king, [Is it] peace?
        And Jehu said, What have Thou to do with peace?
        Turn Thee behind me. And the watchman told,
        saying, The messenger came to them, but he does not return.
2Ki 9:19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them,
        and said, Thus says the king, [Is it] peace?
        And Jehu answered, What have Thou to do with peace? Turn Thee behind me.
2Ki 9:20 And the watchman told, saying, he came even to them, and does not return?
        And the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.
2Ki 9:21 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.
2Ki 9:22
        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 sorceries [are so] many?
2Ki 9:23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, [There is] treachery, Ahaziah.
2Ki 9:24 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.
2Ki 9:25 Then said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain, Take up, [and] cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite;
        for remember when I and Thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
2Ki 9:26 surely I saw recently the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, said the LORD; and I shall requite Thee in this portion, said the LORD.
        And now take [and] cast him into the portion, according to the word of the LORD.
2Ki 9:27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw [this], he fled by the way of the garden house.
        And Jehu followed him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot.
        [And they did so] at the going up to Gur, which [is] by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
2Ki 9:28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.

2Ki 9:29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
2Ki 9:30 And when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard [of it]; and she painted her face, and adorned her head, and looked out at a window.
2Ki 9:31 And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?
2Ki 9:32 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.
2Ki 9:33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and [some] of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot.
2Ki 9:34 And when he had come in, he ate, and drank, and said, Go, see now this cursed [woman], and bury her: for she [is] a king's daughter.
2Ki 9:35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
2Ki 9:36 Therefore they came back, and told him. And he said, This [is] the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Elijah the Tishbite,
        saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
2Ki 9:37 and the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This [is] Jezebel.

2Ki 10:1 Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's [children], saying,
2Ki 10:2 Now as soon as this letter comes to you, seeing your master's sons [are] with you, and [there are] with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armour;
2Ki 10:3 look out the best and meet of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
2Ki 10:4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
2Ki 10:5 And he who [was] over the house, and he who [was] over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up [the children], sent to Jehu, saying,
        We [are] Thy servants, and shall do all that Thou shall bid us; we shall not make any king: do Thou [that which is] good in Thy eyes.
2Ki 10:6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, if ye [are] mine, and [if] ye shall listen to 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 men, [were] with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
2Ki 10:7
        And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent [them] to him to Jezreel.
2Ki 10:8 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.
2Ki 10:9 And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, ye [are] righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
2Ki 10:10 Know now that there shall fall to the ground nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the House of Ahab; for the LORD has done [that] which He spoke by the hand of His servant Elijah.
2Ki 10:11 So Jehu slew all that remained of the House of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsmen, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
2Ki 10:12 And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. As he [was] at the shearing-house in the way,
2Ki 10:13 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 sons of the king and the sons of the queen.
2Ki 10:14 And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, forty two men; neither left he any of them.
2Ki 10:15 And when he had departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him,
        Is Thy heart right, as my heart [is] with Thy heart; and Jehonadab answered, It is. If it is, give me Thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
2Ki 10:16 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.
2Ki 10:17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which He spoke to Elijah.
2Ki 10:18 And Jehu convened all the people, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; [but] Jehu shall serve him much.
2Ki 10:19 And now call to 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:
        whoever shall be wanting, he shall not live.
        But Jehu did [it] in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshipers of Baal.
2Ki 10:20 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed [it].
2Ki 10:21 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshipers 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.
2Ki 10:22 And he said to him that [was] over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshipers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
2Ki 10:23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said to the worshipers of Baal,
        Search, and look that there are here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshipers of Baal only.
2Ki 10:24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings, Jehu appointed eighty men outside, and said,
        [If] any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he [that lets him go], his soul [shall be] for the soul of him.
2Ki 10:25 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.
2Ki 10:26 And they brought forth the pillars out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
2Ki 10:27 And they broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a toilet-house to this day.
2Ki 10:28 And Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
2Ki 10:29 Yet [from] the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin,
        Jehu departed not from after them, the golden calves that [were] in Beth-El, and that [were] in Dan.
2Ki 10:30 And the LORD said to Jehu, Because Thou have done well in executing [that which is] right in My eyes,
        [and] have done to the House of Ahab according to all that [was] in My heart,
        Thy sons of the fourth [generation] shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
2Ki 10:31
        But Jehu took no heed to walk in the Law of the LORD, God of Israel with all his heart:
        [for] he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin.
2Ki 10:32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel;
2Ki 10:33 from the Jordan, towards the sun-rising, 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.
2Ki 10:34 And 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?
2Ki 10:35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
2Ki 10:36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria [was] twenty eight years.

2Ki 11:1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2Ki 11:2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram{Jehoram}, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash{Jehoash} the son of Ahaziah,
        and stole him from among the king's sons [who were] slain; and they hid him, him and his nurse, in the bed-chambers, from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
2Ki 11:3 And he was with her hid in the House of the LORD six years. Athaliah reigned over the land.
2Ki 11:4 And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the House of the LORD,
        and made a Covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the House of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.
2Ki 11:5 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;
2Ki 11:6 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.
2Ki 11:7 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.
2Ki 11:8 And ye shall encircle the king around, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he who comes within the ranges, let him be slain. And be ye with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.
2Ki 11:9 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.
2Ki 11:10 And to the captains over hundreds the priest gave king David's spears and shields, that [were] in the House of the LORD.
2Ki 11:11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, around the king, from the right corner of the House to the left corner of the House, [along] by the Altar and the House.
2Ki 11:12 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, Live the king!
2Ki 11:13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [and] of the people, she came to the people into the House of the LORD.
2Ki 11:14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner [was], and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets.
        Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, treason.
2Ki 11:15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the army, and said to them, Have her forth outside the ranges: and him that follows her kill with the sword.
        For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the House of the LORD.

        Seven years old [was] Jehoash when he began to reign.
2Ki 12:1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.
2Ki 12:2 And Jehoash did right in the eyes of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
2Ki 12:3 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
2Ki 12:4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the House of the LORD,
        the money of every one that passes [the account], the money that every soul is set at, [and] all the money that comes into any man's heart to bring into the House of the LORD,
2Ki 12:5 let the priests take [it] to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found.
2Ki 12:6 But it was [so], [that] in the twenty third year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
2Ki 12:7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the [other] priests, and said to them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house?

        and the priests that kept the door put in it all the money [that was] brought into the House of the LORD.
2Ki 12:10 And it was [so], when they saw that [there was] much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the High Priest came up,
        and they put up in bags, and counted the money [that was] found in the House of the LORD.
2Ki 12:11 And they gave the money, being counted, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the House of the LORD:
        and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the House of the LORD,
2Ki 12:12 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].
2Ki 12:13 Yet, 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:
2Ki 12:14 but they gave that to the workmen, and repaired with it the House of the LORD.
2Ki 12:15 And they counted not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.

        and in the king's house, and sent [it] to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

2Ki 13:18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took [them]. And he said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote three times, and ceased.
2Ki 13:19 And the man of GOD was wroth with him, and said,
          Thou should have smitten five or six times; then had Thou smitten Syria until Thou had consumed [it]: but now Thou shall smite Syria three times.
2Ki 13:20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

2Ki 16:2 Twenty years old [was] Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem,
        and did not right in the eyes of the LORD his God, like David his father.
2Ki 16:3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son to pass through the fire,
         according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the sons of Israel.
2Ki 16:4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
2Ki 16:5 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.
2Ki 16:6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and have dwelt there to this day.
2Ki 16:7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria,
        saying, I [am] Thy servant and Thy son: come up, and save me from the hand of the king of Syria, and from the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.
2Ki 16:8 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.
2Ki 16:9 And the king of Assyria listened to him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried [the people of] it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
2Ki 16:10 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 of it.
2Ki 16:11 And Urijah the priest built an Altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made [it] until king Ahaz came from Damascus.
2Ki 16:12 And when the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the Altar: and the king approached to the Altar, and offered on it.
2Ki 16:13 And he burnt his burnt-offering and his food-offering, and poured his drink-offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace-offerings upon the Altar.
2Ki 16:14 And he brought also the bronze Altar, which [was] before the LORD, from the front of the house, from between the Altar and the House of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the Altar.
2Ki 16:15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest,
        saying, Upon the great Altar burn the morning burnt-offering, and the evening food-offering, and the king's burnt-offering, and his food-offering, with the burnt-offering of all the people of the land,
        and their food-offering, and their drink-offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the bronze Altar shall be for me to inquire.
2Ki 16:16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
2Ki 16:17 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that [were] under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones.
2Ki 16:18 And the covert for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, he turned from the House of the LORD for the king of Assyria.
2Ki 16:19 And the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did,
         [are] they not written in the Book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2Ki 16:20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hizkiah his son reigned in his stead.

2Ki 17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2Ki 17:2 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
2Ki 17:3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
2Ki 17:4 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.
2Ki 17:5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
2Ki 17:6
        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.
2Ki 17:7 For [so] it was, that the sons of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God,
        who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other GODS,
2Ki 17:8 and walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel which they had made.
2Ki 17:9 And the sons of Israel did secretly things that [were] not right against the LORD their God,
        and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the Tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
2Ki 17:10 And they set up for themselves pillars and Asherim on every high hill, and under every green tree:
2Ki 17:11 and there they burnt incense on all the high places, as [did] the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
2Ki 17:12 for they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
2Ki 17:13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of 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 the hand of My servants the prophets.
2Ki 17:14 And they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
2Ki 17:15 And they rejected His Statutes, and His Covenant that He made with their fathers, and His Testimonies which He testified against them;
        and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] around them,
        [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
2Ki 17:16 And they left all the Commandments of the LORD their God, and made for themselves molten images, two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the Army of Heaven, and served Baal.
2Ki 17:17 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 eyes of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.
2Ki 17:18 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.
2Ki 17:19 Also Judah kept not the Commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
2Ki 17:20 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.
2Ki 17:21 For he rent Israel from the House of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
2Ki 17:22 For the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
2Ki 17:23 until the LORD removed Israel out of His sight, as He had spoke by the hand of all His servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
2Ki 17:24 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 sons of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.
2Ki 17:25 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.
2Ki 17:26 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which Thou have removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore He has sent lions among them,
        and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
2Ki 17:27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry there one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
2Ki 17:28 Then 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.
2Ki 17:29 Yet, every nation made gods of their own, and put [them] in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they dwelt.
2Ki 17:30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
2Ki 17:31 and the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their sons in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
2Ki 17:32 So they feared the LORD, and made to themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
2Ki 17:33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
2Ki 17:34 To this day they do after the former manners:
        they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their Statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the Law and Commandment which the LORD commanded the sons of Jacob, whom He named Israel;
2Ki 17:35 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:
2Ki 17:36 but the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and an out-stretched arm, Him shall ye fear, and Him shall ye worship, and to Him shall ye do sacrifice.
2Ki 17:37 And the Statutes, and the ordinances, and the Law, and the Commandment which He wrote for you, ye shall observe to do all the days; and ye shall not fear other GODS.
2Ki 17:38 And the Covenant that I have made with you, ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other GODS.
2Ki 17:39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
2Ki 17:40 Yet they did not listen, but they did after their former manner.
2Ki 17:41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images,
        both their sons, and their sons of sons: as did their fathers, so do they to this day.

2Ki 18:1 And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel,
        [that] Hizkiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2Ki 18:2 Twenty five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty nine years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name also [was] Abi{Abijah}, the daughter of Zachariah.
2Ki 18:3 And he did right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
2Ki 18:4 He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made:
        for until those days the sons of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
2Ki 18:5 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.
2Ki 18:6 For he cleaved to the LORD, [and] departed not from following Him, but kept His Commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
2Ki 18:7 And the LORD was with him; [and] he prospered wherever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
2Ki 18:8 And he smote the Philistines, to Gaza, and its borders, from the Tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
2Ki 18:9
        And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hizkiah, which [was] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel,
        [that] Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
2Ki 18:10 And at the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hizkiah, that [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
2Ki 18:11 And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
2Ki 18:12 because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed His Covenant, [and] all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear [them], nor do [them].
2Ki 18:13
          And in the fourteenth year of king Hizkiah,
          Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
2Ki 18:14 And Hizkiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which Thou put on me I shall bear.
          And the king of Assyria appointed to Hizkiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
2Ki 18:15 And Hizkiah gave all the silver that was found in the House of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.
2Ki 18:16 At that time did Hizkiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the Temple of the LORD, and [from] the pillars which Hizkiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
2Ki 18:17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish to king Hizkiah with a great force against Jerusalem:
          and they went up, and came to Jerusalem: and when they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which [is] in the highway of the fuller's field.
2Ki 18:18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
2Ki 18:19 And Rab-shakeh said to them,
          Say ye now to Hizkiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria,
          What confidence [is] this in which Thou trust?
2Ki 18:20 Thou say, (but [they are] vain words), counsel and strength for war.
          Now on whom do Thou trust, that Thou rebel against me?
2Ki 18:21 Now behold, Thou trust upon the staff of this bruised reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man leans, it shall go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
2Ki 18:22 But if ye say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is] not that He whose high places and whose Altars Hizkiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this Altar in Jerusalem?
2Ki 18:23 And now, I pray Thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria,
          and I shall give Thee two thousand horses, if Thou can on Thy part set riders upon them.
2Ki 18:24 How then shall Thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants,
          and put Thy trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
2Ki 18:25 Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? And the LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
2Ki 18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah, to Rab-shakeh,
          Speak, I pray Thee, to Thy servants in Aramaic; for we understand [it]:
          and talk not with us in Jewish, in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.
2Ki 18:27 And Rab-shakeh said to them, has my master sent me to Thy master, and to Thee, to speak these words?
        Has he not [sent me] to the men who sit upon the wall,
        [that they] to eat their own dung and to drink the water of their feet with you?
2Ki 18:28 Then Rab-shakeh stood, and cried with a great voice in the Jewish language,
          and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
2Ki 18:29 Thus says the king, Let not Hizkiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
2Ki 18:30  and let not Hizkiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD shall surely deliver us:
          this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
2Ki 18:31 Listen not to Hizkiah: for thus says the king of Assyria,
          Make [an agreement] with me by a present, and come out to me:
          and eat ye every man of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree,
          and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
2Ki 18:32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land,
          a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards,
          a land of olive-oil and of honey, that ye may live, and not die:
          and listen not to Hizkiah, when he persuades you, saying, The LORD shall deliver us.
2Ki 18:33 Has any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
2Ki 18:34 Where [are] the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad?
          Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
          Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
2Ki 18:35 Who [are] they among all the gods of the lands,
          that have delivered their land out of my hand,
          that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
2Ki 18:36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word:
          for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
2Ki 18:37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who [was] over the household,
          and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder,
          to Hizkiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
2Ki 19:1
        And it came to pass, when king Hizkiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth,
        and went into the House of the LORD.
2Ki 19:2 And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth,
         to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
2Ki 19:3 And they said to him, Thus says Hizkiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy:
         for the sons are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
2Ki 19:4 It may be the LORD Thy God shall hear all the words of Rab-shakeh,
        whom the king of Assyria his master has sent him to reproach the Living GOD,
        and shall reprove the words which the LORD Thy God has heard:
        therefore lift up [Thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
2Ki 19:5 And the servants of king Hizkiah came to Isaiah.
2Ki 19:6 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus says the LORD,
         Be not afraid of the words which Thou have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
2Ki 19:7 Behold, I shall send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and shall return to his own land;
         and I shall cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
2Ki 19:8 So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah:
          for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
2Ki 19:9 And he heard it said concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, Behold, he has come out to make war against Thee:
         again he sent messengers to Hizkiah, saying,
2Ki 19:10 Thus shall ye speak to Hizkiah king of Judah, saying,
          Let not Thy God in whom Thou trust deceive Thee, saying,
          Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
2Ki 19:11 Behold, Thou have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands,
          by destroying them utterly: and shall Thou be delivered?
2Ki 19:12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed;
          [as] Gozan and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who [were] in Telassar?
2Ki 19:13 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

2Ki 19:14 {Letter to Hizkiah}.
          And Hizkiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it:
          and Hizkiah went up into the House of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
2Ki 19:15 And Hizkiah prayed before the LORD, and said,
          LORD, God of Israel, who dwell [between] the cherubim,
          Thou are the GOD, Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the World; Thou have made the Heaven and the Earth.
2Ki 19:16 Incline Thy ear, LORD, and hear; open Thy eyes, LORD,
          and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, who has sent him to reproach the Living GOD.
2Ki 19:17 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
2Ki 19:18 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.
2Ki 19:19 And now, LORD our God, I beseech Thee, save Thou us from his hand,
          that all the kingdoms of the World may know that Thou [are] the LORD GOD, Thou only.
2Ki 19:20
         Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hizkiah, saying, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,
          Whereas Thou have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
2Ki 19:21 This [is] the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him;
         The virgin, the Daughter of Zion, has despised Thee, [and] derided Thee;
         the Daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at Thee.
2Ki 19:22 Whom have Thou reproached and blasphemed?
          And against whom have Thou exalted [Thy] voice,
           and lifted up Thy eyes on high?
          [Even] against the Holy [One] of Israel.
2Ki 19:23 By the hand of Thy messengers Thou have reproached the Lord, and have said,
          By the multitude My chariots have I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon;
          and I shall cut down its tall cedars, [and] its choice fir-trees:
          and I shall enter into the lodging of its border, [and into] the forest of its Carmel.
2Ki 19:24 I have dig and drank strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
2Ki 19:25 Have 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 should be to lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
2Ki 19:26 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 roofs, and [as grain] blasted before it is grown up.
2Ki 19:27
        But I know Thy abode, and Thy going out, and Thy coming in, and Thy rage against Me;
2Ki 19:28 because Thy rage against Me, and Thy tumult is come up into My ears,
          therefore I shall put My hook in Thy nose, and My bridle in Thy lips,
          and I shall turn Thee back by the way by which Thou came.
2Ki 19:29
        And this [shall be] a sign to Thee,
        Ye shall eat this year such things as grows of itself;
        and in the second year that which springs of the same;
         and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of them.
2Ki 19:30 And the remnant that has escaped of the House of Judah,
          shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
2Ki 19:31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant,
         and they that escape from Mount Zion:
         the zeal of the LORD of Sabaoth shall do this.
2Ki 19:32
          Therefore thus says 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 mound against it.
2Ki 19:33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return,
          and shall not come into this city, said the LORD.
2Ki 19:34 For I shall defend this city, to save it for My own sake,
          and for My servant David's sake.
2Ki 19:35
        And it came to pass the same night, that the Angel of the LORD went forth,
        and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred eighty five thousand:
        and when they{the rest} arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead carcasses.
2Ki 19:36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed,
          and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
2Ki 19:37
        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 Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.

2Ki 20:1 In those days Hizkiah was sick to death.
        And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him,
        Thus says the LORD, Set Thy house in order; for Thou shall die, and not live.
2Ki 20:2 Then He turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,
2Ki 20:3 I beseech Thee, LORD, remember now how I have walked before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart,
        and have done [that which is] good in Thy eyes. And Hizkiah wept sore.
2Ki 20:4
        And it came to pass, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
2Ki 20:5 Turn back, and tell Hizkiah the captain of My people, Thus says the LORD, the God of David Thy father,
        I have heard Thy prayer, I have seen Thy tears: behold, I shall heal Thee: on the third day Thou shall go up to the House of the LORD.
2Ki 20:6 And I shall add to Thy days fifteen years;
         and I shall deliver Thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria;
         and I shall defend this city for My own sake,
         and for My servant David's sake.
2Ki 20:7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid [it] on the boil, and he recovered.
2Ki 20:8 And Hizkiah said to Isaiah, What [shall be] the sign that the LORD shall heal me, and that I shall go up into the House of the LORD the third day?
2Ki 20:9 And Isaiah said, This sign shall Thou have of the LORD, that the LORD shall do the thing that He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
2Ki 20:10 And Hizkiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten degrees: no, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
2Ki 20:11 And Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.
2Ki 20:12
        At that time Berodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hizkiah: for he had heard that Hizkiah had been sick.
2Ki 20:13 And Hizkiah listened to them, and showed them all the house of his precious things,
        the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and [all] the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures:
        there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hizkiah showed them not.
2Ki 20:14 Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hizkiah, and said to him, What said these men? And whence came they to Thee?
        And Hizkiah said, They have come from a far country: from Babylon.
2Ki 20:15 And he said, What have they seen in Thy house? And Hizkiah answered, All [the things] that [are] in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.
2Ki 20:16 And Isaiah said to Hizkiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
2Ki 20:17 Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in Thy house,
          and that which Thy fathers have laid up in store until this day,
          shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, said the LORD.
2Ki 20:18 And of Thy sons that shall issue from Thee, which Thou shall beget, shall they take away;
          and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
2Ki 20:19 Then said Hizkiah to Isaiah, Good [is] the word of the LORD which Thou have spoken.
          And he said, [Is it] not [good], if peace and truth shall be in my days?
2Ki 20:20 And the rest of the acts of Hizkiah, 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?
2Ki 20:21 And Hizkiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

2Ki 21:1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty five years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Hephzibah.
2Ki 21:2 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the sons of Israel.
2Ki 21:3 For he built again the high places which Hizkiah his father had destroyed; and he reared Altars for Baal, and made an Asherah,
        as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshiped all the Army of Heaven, and served them.
2Ki 21:4 And he built Altars in the House of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem shall I put My name.
2Ki 21:5 And he built Altars for all the Army of Heaven in the two courts of the House of the LORD.
2Ki 21:6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed clouds, and used enchantments, and dealt mediums and spiritists:
        he committed much wickedness in the eyes of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.
2Ki 21:7 And he set a graven image of the Asherah that he had made in the house,
        of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son,
        In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, shall I put My name forever:
2Ki 21:8 neither shall I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers;
        only if they shall observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the Law that My servant Moses commanded them.
2Ki 21:9 But they listened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the sons of Israel.
2Ki 21:10 And the LORD spoke by His servants the prophets, saying,
2Ki 21:11 because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, [and] has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who [were] before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols:
2Ki 21:12 therefore thus says the LORD, God of Israel, Behold, I [am] bringing [such] evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.
2Ki 21:13 And I shall stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the House of Ahab:
        and I shall wipe Jerusalem as [one] wipes a dish, wiping [it], and turning [it] upside down.
2Ki 21:14 And I shall forsake the remnant of My inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
2Ki 21:15 because they have done evil in My eyes, and have provoked Me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, until this day.
2Ki 21:16 And Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the LORD.
2Ki 21:17 And 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?
2Ki 21:18 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.

2Ki 21:19 Amon [was] twenty 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.
2Ki 21:20 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
2Ki 21:21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them.
2Ki 21:22 And he forsook the LORD, God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
2Ki 21:23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
2Ki 21:24 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.
2Ki 21:25
        And 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?
2Ki 21:26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.

2Ki 22:1 Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty one years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
2Ki 22:2 And he did right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

2Ki 22:3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [that] the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the House of the LORD, saying,
2Ki 22:4 Go to Hilkiah the High Priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the House of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered from the people:
2Ki 22:5 and let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the House of the LORD:
        and let them give it to the doers of the work, which [is] in the House of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,
2Ki 22:6 to carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber, and hewn stone to repair the house.
2Ki 22:7 But there was no counting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand because they dealt faithfully.
2Ki 22:8
        And Hilkiah the High Priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the Book of the Law in the House of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the Book to Shaphan, and he read it.
2Ki 22:9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house,
        and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the House of the LORD.
2Ki 22:10 And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
2Ki 22:11
        And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he rent his clothes.
2Ki 22:12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
2Ki 22:13 Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this Book that is found: for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us,
        because our fathers have not listened to the words of this Book, to do according to all that which has been written concerning us.
2Ki 22:14
        So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess,
        the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe;
        (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second [part]); and they communed with her.
2Ki 22:15 And she said to them, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel, Tell ye the man who sent you to Me.
2Ki 22:16 Thus says the LORD, Behold, I shall bring calamity upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the Book which the king of Judah has read:
2Ki 22:17 because they have forsaken Me, and have burned incense to other GODS, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands;
        therefore My wrath shall be kindled against this place and shall not be quenched.
2Ki 22:18 And to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him,
          Thus says the LORD, God of Israel, [concerning] the words which Thou have heard;
2Ki 22:19 because Thy heart was tender, and Thou have humbled thyself before the LORD, when Thou heard what I spoke against this place,
        and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have rent Thy clothes,
        and wept before Me; I also have heard [Thee], said the LORD.
2Ki 22:20 Behold therefore, I shall gather Thee to Thy fathers, and Thou shall be gathered into Thy grave in peace; and Thy eyes shall not see all the calamity which I shall bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.

2Ki 23:1 And the king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2Ki 23:2 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.
2Ki 23:3 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.
2Ki 23:4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the High Priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the Temple of the LORD,
        all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the Army of Heaven:
        and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Beth-El.
2Ki 23:5
        And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem;
        them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the Army of Heaven.
2Ki 23:6 And he brought out the Asherah from the House of the LORD, outside Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron,
        and stamped [it] small to powder, and cast the powder of it upon the graves of the sons of the people.
2Ki 23:7 And he broke down the houses of the sodomites that [were] by the House of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
2Ki 23:8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burnt incense, from Geba to Beer-Sheba,
        and broke down the high places of the gates that [were] in the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which [were] on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
2Ki 23:9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the Altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they ate of the Unleavened [Bread] among their brethren.
2Ki 23:10 And he defiled Tophet, which [is] in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
2Ki 23:11 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the House of the LORD,
        by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which [was] in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
2Ki 23:12 And the Altars that [were] on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the Altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the House of the LORD,
        did the king beat down, and broke [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
2Ki 23:13 And the high places that [were] before Jerusalem, which [were] on the right hand of the Mount of corruption,
        which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians,
        and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the sons of Ammon, did the king defile.
2Ki 23:14 And he broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and filled their places with the bones of men.
2Ki 23:15 And 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 broke down, and burned the high place, [and] stamped [it] small to powder, and burned the Asherah.
2Ki 23:16 And as Josiah turned, and he espied the sepulchres that [were] there on the Mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned [them] upon the Altar,
        and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of GOD proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
2Ki 23:17 Then he said, What title [is] that which I see? And the men of the city told him, [It is] the sepulchre of the man of GOD, who came from Judah,
        and proclaimed these things that Thou have done against the Altar of Beth-El.
2Ki 23:18 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.
2Ki 23:19 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.
2Ki 23:20 And he slew all the priests of the high places, that [were] there upon the Altars, and burnt men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
2Ki 23:21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as [it is] written in the Book of this Covenant.
2Ki 23:22 Surely, there was not held such a Passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah.
2Ki 23:23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [in which] this Passover was held to the LORD in Jerusalem.
2Ki 23:24 And the mediums and the spiritists, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem,
        did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the Law which were written in the Book that Hilkiah the priest found in the House of the LORD.
2Ki 23:25
        And like him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; neither after him arose there [any] like him.
2Ki 23:26 Nevertheless the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations by which Manasseh had provoked him.
2Ki 23:27 And the LORD said, I shall remove Judah also out of My sight, as I have removed Israel, and shall reject this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
2Ki 23:28 And 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?
2Ki 23:29 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.
2Ki 23:30 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.

2Ki 23:31 Jehoahaz [was] twenty 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.
2Ki 23:32 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
2Ki 23:33 And Pharaoh-Nechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem;
        and subjected the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
2Ki 23:34 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.
2Ki 23:35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the Commandment of Pharaoh:
        he exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land, from every one according to his taxation, to give [it] to Pharaoh-Nechoh.
2Ki 23:36
        Jehoiakim [was] twenty 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.
2Ki 23:37 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
2Ki 24:1
        In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
2Ki 24:2 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the sons of Ammon,
        and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by the hand of his servants the prophets.
2Ki 24:3 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;
2Ki 24:4 and also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
2Ki 24:5 And 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?
2Ki 24:6 And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
2Ki 24:7
        And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
2Ki 24:8
        Jehoiachin [was] eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
2Ki 24:9 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
2Ki 24:10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
2Ki 24:11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.
2Ki 24:12 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.
2Ki 24:13 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 has spoken.
2Ki 24:14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the artificers, and smiths: none remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land.
2Ki 24:15 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.
2Ki 24:16 And all the men of might, seven thousand, and artificers and smiths a thousand, all [that were] strong [and] fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
2Ki 24:17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

2Ki 24:18 Zedekiah [was] twenty 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.
2Ki 24:19 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
2Ki 24:20 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.
2Ki 25:1
        And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month,
        [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem,
        and encamped against it; and they built forts against it all around.
2Ki 25:2 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
2Ki 25:3 And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine was severe in the city,
         and there was no bread for the people of the land.
2Ki 25:4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king's garden:
        (now the Chaldees [were] against the city on all sides): and [the king] went the way towards the plain.
2Ki 25:5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
2Ki 25:6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
2Ki 25:7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with copper fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
2Ki 25:8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh [day] of the month, (which [was] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon),
        came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
2Ki 25:9 And he burnt the House of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great [man's] house he burnt with fire.
2Ki 25:10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that [were with] the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem on all sides.
2Ki 25:11 And the rest of the people [that were] left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon,
        with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
2Ki 25:12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land [to be] vine-dressers and husbandmen.
2Ki 25:13 And the pillars of bronze that [were] in the House of the LORD, and the bases, and the bronze sea that [was] in the House of the LORD,
        did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the bronze of them to Babylon.
2Ki 25:14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered, they took away.
2Ki 25:15 And the fire-pans, and the bowls, [and] such things as [were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the captain of the guard took away.
2Ki 25:16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the House of the LORD;
        the bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
2Ki 25:17 The height of the one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it [was] bronze:
        and the height of the capital three cubits;
        and the net-work, and pomegranates upon the capital around, all of bronze:
        and like to these had the second pillar with net-work.
2Ki 25:18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
2Ki 25:19 and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city,
        and the principal scribe of the army, who mustered the people of the land,
        and sixty men of the people of the land [that were] found in the city:
2Ki 25:20 And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
2Ki 25:21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
2Ki 25:22
        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.
2Ki 25:23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor,
        there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of Maachathite, they and their men.
2Ki 25:24 And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
2Ki 25:25
        And 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.
2Ki 25:26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
2Ki 25:27
        And it came to pass in the thirty seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty seventh [day] of the month,
        [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.
2Ki 25:28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon;
2Ki 25:29 and changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
2Ki 25:30 And his allowance [was] a continual allowance given him by the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

Isa 1:1 [Scroll 08 Isaiah].
        The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz,
        which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hizkiah, kings of Judah.

Isa 1:2 Hear, Heavens, and give ear, Earth: for the LORD has spoken,
        I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against Me.
Isa 1:3 The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's manger:
        [but] Israel does not know, My people does not consider.
Isa 1:4 Woe sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity,
        a seed of evil-doers, sons that are corrupters:
        they have forsaken the LORD,
        they have provoked the Holy [One] of Israel to anger,
        they are gone away backward!
Isa 1:5 Why should ye be stricken any more?
        Ye shall revolt more:
        the whole head is sick,
        and the whole heart faint.
Isa 1:6 From the sole of the foot even to the head [there is] no soundness in [it],
        [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores:
        they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
Isa 1:7 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.
Isa 1:8 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.
Isa 1:9 Except the LORD of Sabaoth had left us seed,
        we had been as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah. [Rom 9:29]
Isa 1:10
        Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom;
        give ear to the Law of our God, people of Gomorrah.
Isa 1:11 To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? Said the LORD:
        I [AM] full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts;
        and I delight not in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
Isa 1:12 When ye come to appear before Me,
        who has required this at your hand, to tread My courts?
Isa 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to Me;
        [Your] New Moon and Sabbath, the calling of convocations,
        I cannot endure; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Isa 1:14 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates:
        they are a trouble to Me; I [am] weary to bear [them].
Isa 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands,
        I shall hide My eyes from you:
        yes, when ye make many prayers,
        I shall not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Isa 1:16 Wash ye, make yourselves clean;
        put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes;
        cease to do evil;
Isa 1:17 learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed,
        do justice the fatherless, plead for the widow.

        they shall be as <wool>.

Isa 1:23 Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves:

Isa 1:24 Therefore said the Lord, the LORD of Sabaoth, the Mighty of Israel,
        Ah, I shall ease of My adversaries, and avenge Me of My enemies:

Isa 2:20 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;
Isa 2:21 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,

Isa 5:1 {Song of the vineyard 1}.
        Now shall I sing to My well-beloved a song of My beloved concerning His vineyard.

Isa 5:2 And He fenced it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine,
        and built a Tower in the middle of it, and also hewed a winepress in it:
        and He expected that it would bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
Isa 5:3 And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between Me and My vineyard.
Isa 5:4 What more could have been done to My vineyard, that I have not done in it?
        Why, when I expected that it would bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Isa 5:5 And now come; I shall tell you what I shall do to My vineyard:
        I shall take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up;
        [and] break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down:
Isa 5:6 and I shall lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor dig; but there shall come up briers and thorns:
        I shall also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Isa 5:7 For the vineyard of the LORD of Sabaoth [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.

        that continue until twilight, [until] wine inflames them!

         Woe to them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity,
        and sin as it were with a cart-rope!
Isa 5:19 That say, Let him make speed, [and] hasten his work, that we may see [it]:
        and let the counsel of the Holy [One] of Israel,
        draw near and come, that we may know [it]!
Isa 5:20 Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil;
        that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
        that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa 5:21 Woe to [them that are] wise in their own eyes,
        and prudent in their own sight!
Isa 5:22 Woe to [them that are] mighty to drink wine,
        and men of strength to mingle shekar{strong drink}!
Isa 5:23
        Who justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Isa 5:24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes 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 Sabaoth,
        and despised the word of the Holy [One] of Israel.

Isa 5:25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against His people,
        and He has stretched forth His hand against them, and has smitten them:
        and the hills trembled, and their carcasses [were] torn in the middle of the streets.
        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand [is] stretched out still.
Isa 5:26 And He shall lift up an ensign to the nations from afar, and shall hiss to them from the end of the Earth:
        and behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
Isa 5:27 none shall be weary nor stumble among them;
        none shall slumber nor sleep;
        neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed,
        nor the thong of their shoes be broken:
Isa 5:28 whose arrows [are] sharp, and all their bows bent,
        their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
Isa 5:29 their roaring [shall be] like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yes, they shall roar,
        and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry [it] away safe, and none shall deliver [it].
Isa 5:30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if [one] looks to the land,
        behold darkness [and] sorrow, and the light is darkened in its Heavens.

Isa 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
        high and elevated, and His train filled the Temple.
Isa 6:2 Above it stood seraphim: each one had six wings;
        with two he covered his face,
        and with two he covered his feet,
        and with two he flew.
Isa 6:3 And one cried to another, and said,
        Holy, Holy, Holy [is] the LORD of Sabaoth: all the Earth [is] full of His glory.
Isa 6:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried,
        and the house was filled with smoke.
Isa 6:5 Then I said, Woe [is] me! For I [am] undone; because I [am] a man of unclean lips,
        and I dwell in the middle of a people of unclean lips:
        for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Sabaoth.
Isa 6:6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand,
        [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the Altar.
Isa 6:7 And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched Thy lips;
        and Thy iniquity is taken away, and Thy sin purged.
Isa 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
        Whom shall I send, and who shall go for Us?
        Then I said, Behold me; send me.
Isa 6:9 And He said, Go to this people, and say,
        By hearing ye shall hear,
        and shall not understand;
        and seeing ye shall see,
        and may not perceive. [Mat 13:14 Act 28:26]
Isa 6:10 For this people's heart has become gross,
        and they heard with the ears heavily,
        and their eyes they have closed;
        lest they should see with their eyes,
        and hear with their ears,
        and should understand with [their] heart,
        and should convert,
        and I should heal them. [Mat 13:15 Act 28:27]
Isa 6:11
        Then I said, Lord, until when? And He said,
        Until the cities shall be wasted without inhabitant,
        and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate;
Isa 6:12 and the LORD shall have removed men far away,
        and [there be] much forsaken in the middle of the land.
Isa 6:13 But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return,
        and shall burn as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump [is] in them,
        when they cast [their leaves]: [so] the Holy seed [shall be] the stump of it.

Isa 7:1 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 towards Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Isa 7:2 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.
Isa 7:3 And the LORD said to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz,
        Thou, and Shear-jashub{remnant shall return} Thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
Isa 7:4 and say to him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not,
        neither be faint of heart for the two tails of these smoking fire-brands,
        for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah;
Isa 7:5 because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against Thee, saying,
Isa 7:6 Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, and let us make a breach in it for us, and set a king in the middle of it, the son of Tabeal.
Isa 7:7
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
Isa 7:8 For the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus [is] Rezin;
        and within sixty five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
Isa 7:9 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of Samaria [is] Remaliah's son.
        If ye shall not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
Isa 7:10
        And the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Isa 7:11 Ask Thee a sign from the LORD Thy God;
        ask it either in depth of Sheol, or in the height above.
Isa 7:12 But Ahaz said, I shall not ask, neither shall I tempt the LORD.
Isa 7:13 And he said, Hear ye now, House of David?
        [Is it] a small thing for you to weary men, but shall ye also weary my God?
Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a <sign>;
        Behold, <the virgin> shall be pregnant, and shall bear a Son,
        and shall call His name Immanu-El. [Mat 1:23]
Isa 7:15 Curd and honey shall He eat, when He knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Isa 7:16 For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good,
        the land that Thou abhor shall be forsaken by both her kings.
Isa 7:17
        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; the king of Assyria.
Isa 7:18 And it shall be 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.
Isa 7:19 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.
Isa 7:20 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.
Isa 7:21 And it shall be in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep.
Isa 7:22 And it shall be, for the abundance of milk [that] they shall give, He shall eat curd: for curd and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
Isa 7:23 And it shall be in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver, it shall be for briers and thorns.
Isa 7:24 With arrows and with bows shall [men] come there; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
Isa 7:25 And [on] all mountains that shall be dig with the mattock, there shall not come there the fear of briers and thorns:
        but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.

Isa 8:1 And the LORD said to me, Take Thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz{hurry, ready to plunder the prey}.

Isa 8:3 And I went to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. And the LORD said to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz{hurry, ready to plunder the prey}.
Isa 8:4 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.
Isa 8:5 And the LORD spoke to me again, saying,
Isa 8:6 Forasmuch as this people refuses the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
Isa 8:7 now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, the king of Assyria,
        and all his glory: and he shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
Isa 8:8 And he shall pass through Judah; He shall overflow and go over, He shall reach to the neck; and the extension of His wings shall fill the breadth of Thy land, Immanu-El{with us [is] God}.
Isa 8:9 Associate yourselves, [ye] peoples, and ye shall be broken in pieces;
        and give ear, all ye of far countries: (gird yourselves), and ye shall be broken in pieces;
        gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
Isa 8:10 Take counsel together, and it shall be broken;
        speak the word, and it shall not stand: Immanu-El{with us [is] God}.
Isa 8:11
        For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
Isa 8:12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
Isa 8:13 Sanctify the LORD of Sabaoth Himself; and [let] Him [be] your fear, and [let] Him [be] your dread.
Isa 8:14 And He shall be for a Sanctuary;
        but for a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence,
        to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. [Rom 9:33]

Isa 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom GOD gave Me [are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, [Heb 2:13]
        from the LORD of Sabaoth, who dwells in Mount Zion.
Isa 8:19 And when they shall say to you, Seek to mediums, and to spiritists that whisper,

        for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn; surely [they are] stricken.
Isa 16:8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, [and] the vine of Sibmah:
        the lords of the heathen have broken down her principal plants, they have come to Jazer,
        they wandered [through] the wilderness: her branches are extended, they have gone over the sea.
Isa 16:9 Therefore I shall bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah:
        I shall water Thee with My tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh:
        for the shouting for Thy summer fruits and for Thy harvest is fallen.
Isa 16:10 And gladness is taken away, and joy from the plentiful field; and in the vineyards,
        there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting:
        the treaders shall tread out no wine in [their] winepresses;
        I have made [their vintage]-shouting to cease.
Isa 16:11 Therefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir-hareseth.

        that he shall come to his Sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

Isa 16:14 But now the LORD has spoken, saying,
        Within three years, as the years of a hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned,
        with all that great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and] feeble.

        two [or] three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four [or] five in the outmost fruitful branches of it,
        said the LORD, God of Israel.

Isa 17:9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost Branch,
        which they left because of the sons of Israel: and there shall be desolation;

        therefore shall Thou plant pleasant plants, and shall set it with foreign slips.
Isa 17:11 In the day shall Thou make Thy plant to grow, and in the morning shall Thou make Thy seed to flourish:
        [but] the harvest [shall be] a heap in the day of grief and of incurable sorrow.

        and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

        Go, ye swift messengers to a nation scattered and peeled,
        to a people terrible from their beginning until now;
        a nation measured by line and trodden down,
        whose land the rivers have laid waste!
Isa 18:3 All ye inhabitants of the World, and dwellers on the Earth, see ye,
        when he lifts up an ensign on the mountains; and when he blows a shofar, hear ye.

        and I shall consider in My dwelling-place like a clear heat upon herbs,
        [and] like a cloud of dew in the heat of Harvest.
Isa 18:5 For before the Harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower,
        he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and take away [and] cut down the branches.
Isa 18:6 They shall be left together to the fowls of the mountains,
        and to the beasts of the Earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them,
        and all the beasts of the Earth shall winter upon them.
Isa 18:7 In that time shall the present be brought to the LORD of Sabaoth of a people scattered and peeled,
        and from a people terrible from their beginning until now; a nation measured by line and trodden under foot,
        whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of Sabaoth, the Mount Zion.
Isa 19:1 The burden of Egypt.

Isa 19:2 And I shall set the Egyptians against the Egyptians:
        and they shall fight every one against his brother,

Isa 19:12 Where [are] they? Where [are] Thy wise [men]? And let them tell Thee now,
        and let them know what the LORD of Sabaoth has purposed upon Egypt.

Isa 20:1 In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him),

        And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
Isa 20:3 And the LORD said, As My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot,
        three years [for] a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Cush;

        [as] he who hews him out a sepulchre on high, [and] that engraves a habitation for Himself in a Rock?

        sing many songs, that Thou may be remembered.
Isa 23:17 And it shall be after the end of seventy years, that the LORD shall visit Tyre,
        and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit whoredom with all the kingdoms of the World upon the face of the Earth.

Isa 25:11 And He shall spread forth His hands in the middle of them, as he who swims spreads forth [his hands] to swim:
        and He shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
Isa 25:12 And the fortress of the high fort of Thy walls shall He bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, to the dust.
Isa 26:1 {Song in the land of Judah}.

Isa 26:3 A steadfast disposition Thou guard in constant peace, for it is trustful towards Thee.

        He lays it low; He lays it low, to the ground; He brings it to the dust.
Isa 26:6 The foot shall tread it down, the feet of the poor, [and] the steps of the needy.

Isa 26:8
        Yes, in the way of Thy Judgments, LORD, have we waited for Thee;
        the desire of [our] soul [is] to Thy name, and to the remembrance of Thee.
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired Thee in the night;
        yes, with My Spirit within me shall I seek Thee early:
        for when Thy Judgments [are] in the Earth, the inhabitants of the World shall learn righteousness.
Isa 26:10 Let favour be shown to the wicked, [yet] he shall not learn righteousness:
        in the land of uprightness he shall deal unjustly, and shall not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Isa 26:11 LORD, [when] Thy hand is lifted up, they shall not see: [but] they shall see,
        and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yes, the fire of Thy enemies shall devour them.
Isa 26:12 LORD, Thou shall ordain peace for us: for Thou also have wrought all our works in us.

        [but] by Thee only shall we make mention of Thy name.

        Thou are glorified: Thou had removed [it] far to all the ends of the Earth.
Isa 26:16
        LORD, in trouble have they visited Thee,
        they poured out a prayer [when] Thy chastening [was] upon them.
Isa 26:17 As a pregnant woman, [that] draws near the time of her delivery,
        is in pain, [and] cries out in her pangs;
        so have we been in Thy sight, LORD.
Isa 26:18 We have been pregnant, we have been in pain,
        we have as it were brought forth wind;
        we have not wrought any deliverance on the Earth;
        neither have the inhabitants of the World fallen.

Isa 26:19 {Song of Resurrection}.
        Thy dead [men] shall live. My carcass 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.
Isa 26:20 Come, My people, enter Thou into Thy chambers,
        and shut Thy doors about Thee;
        hide thyself as it were for a little moment,
        until the indignation shall be over.
Isa 26:21
        For behold, the LORD comes 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.
Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with His keen and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
        even Leviathan that crooked serpent; and He shall slay the monster that [is] in the sea.

Isa 27:2 {Song of the vineyard 2}.
        Sing ye to her in that day,
        A vineyard of pure wine.
Isa 27:3 I the LORD do keep it;
        I shall water it every moment: lest [any] hurt it,
        I shall keep it night and day.
Isa 27:4 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.
Isa 27:5 Or let him take hold of My strength,
        [that] he may make peace with Me,
        [and] he shall make peace with Me.
Isa 27:6 He shall cause them that descend from Jacob to take root:
        Israel shall blossom and bud,
        and fill the face of the World with fruit.
Isa 27:7 Has 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?
Isa 27:8
        In measure, when Thou send them away, Thou shall sentence him:
        He stays His rough wind in the day of the east wind.
Isa 27:9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged;
        and this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin;
        when He makes all the stones of the Altar,
        as chalk-stones that are beaten asunder,
        the Asherim and sun-images shall not rise.

Isa 27:10 Yet the fortified city [shall be] desolate, [and] the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness:
        there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its branches.
Isa 27:11 When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no understanding:
        therefore He who made them shall not have mercy on them, and He who formed them shall show them no favour.
Isa 27:12 And it shall be in that day, [that] the LORD shall gather from the channel of the river to the stream of Egypt,
        and ye shall be gathered one by one, ye sons of Israel.
Isa 27:13 And it shall be in that day, [that] the great shofar shall be blown,
        and they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria,
        and the outcasts in the land of Egypt,
        and shall worship the LORD on the Holy Mount at Jerusalem.

Isa 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim,
        whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower; who [are] on the head of the fat{fruitful} valley of them that are overcome with wine!
Isa 28:2 Behold, the Lord has 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.
Isa 28:3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet.
Isa 28:4 And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat{fruitful} valley, shall be a fading flower,
        [and] as the early fruit before the summer; which, [when] he who looks upon it, sees while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.
Isa 28:5 In that day shall the LORD of Sabaoth be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the residue of His people,
Isa 28:6 and for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
Isa 28:7 But they also have erred through wine,
        and through shekar{strong drink} are astray;
        the priest and the prophet have erred through shekar{strong drink},
        they are overwhelmed with wine,
        they are astray through shekar{strong drink};
        they go astray in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.
Isa 28:8 For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].
Isa 28:9 Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand the report?
        [Them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.
Isa 28:10 For precept upon precept, precept upon precept;
        line upon line, line upon line;
        here a little, there a little;
Isa 28:11 with [men of] other tongues and other lips shall I speak to this people. [1Co 14:21]
Isa 28:12 Whom He said, This [is] the rest; cause the weary to rest,
          and thus they shall not even be willing to hear Me. [1Co 14:21]
Isa 28:13
        And the word of the LORD was to them,
        precept upon precept, precept upon precept;
        line upon line, line upon line;
        here a little, there a little;
        that they might go, and fall backward,
        and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Isa 28:14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD,
        ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem.
Isa 28:15
        Because ye have said,
        We have made a Covenant with death, and with Sheol are we in agreement;
        when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not reach us:
        for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Isa 28:16 therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious:
        and he who believing upon Him should not be ashamed. [1Pe 2:6 Rom 10:11]
Isa 28:17 Judgment also shall 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.
Isa 28:18 And your Covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand;
        when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Isa 28:19
        From the time that it goes 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.
Isa 28:20 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].
Isa 28:21 For the LORD shall rise as [on] 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.
Isa 28:22 And now be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong:
        for I have heard from the Lord JeHoVaH of Sabaoth a consumption,
        even determined upon all the Earth.
Isa 28:23 Give ye ear, and hear My voice; listen, and hear My speech.

Isa 28:24 {Parable of the ploughman}.
          Does the ploughman plough all day to sow?
          Does he open and break the clods of his ground?
Isa 28:25 When he has made even the face of it, does he not cast abroad the vetches, and scatter the cumin,
        and cast in the principal wheat, and the appointed barley, and the spelt in their place?
Isa 28:26 For his God does instruct him to discretion, [and] does teach him.
Isa 28:27 For the vetches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cumin;
        but the vetches are beaten out with a staff, and the cumin with a rod.
Isa 28:28 Bread-[grain] is bruised; because he shall not always be threshing it,
        nor break [it with] the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it [with] his horsemen.
Isa 28:29 This also comes forth from the LORD of Sabaoth, [who] is wonderful in counsel, [and] excellent in operation.

Isa 29:1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city [where] David dwelt! Add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
Isa 29:2 Yet I shall distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow; and it shall be to Me as Ariel.
Isa 29:3 And I shall encamp against Thee around, and shall cast a mound against Thee, and I shall raise forts against Thee.
Isa 29:4 And Thou shall be brought down, [and] shall speak out of the ground, and Thy speech shall be low out of the dust,
        and Thy voice shall be, as a medium out of the ground, and Thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
Isa 29:5 And the multitude of Thy strangers shall be like small dust,
        and the multitude of the terrible ones [shall be] as chaff that passes away: yes, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
Isa 29:6 Thou shall be visited by the LORD of Sabaoth with thunder, and with earthquake,
        and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
Isa 29:7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold,
        and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night-vision.
Isa 29:8 It shall even be as when a hungry [man] dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakens,
        and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty [man] dreams,
        and behold, he drinks; but he awakens, and behold, [he is] faint, and his soul has appetite:
        so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against Mount Zion.
Isa 29:9
        Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken,
        but not with wine; they stagger, but not with shekar{strong drink}.
Isa 29:10 For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of slumber, and has closed your eyes:
        the prophets and your chiefs, the seers has He covered. [Rom 11:8]
Isa 29:11 And the vision of all is become to you as the words of a book that is sealed,
        which [men] deliver to one that is learned, saying,
        Read this, I pray Thee: and he said, I cannot; for it [is] sealed:
Isa 29:12 And the Book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying,
        Read this, I pray Thee: and he said, I [am] not learned.
Isa 29:13
        Therefore the Lord said,
        Forasmuch as. This people draws near to Me with their mouth,
        and honour 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. [Mat 15:8]
Isa 29:14 Therefore behold, I shall proceed to do a marvellous work,
        among this people, an astonishing work and a wonder:
        I shall destroy the wisdom of the wise,
        and shall set away the intellect of the intellectuals. [1Co 1:19]
Isa 29:15
        Woe to them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD,
        and their works are in the dark!
        And they say, Who sees us? And who knows us?
Isa 29:16 Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay:
        for shall the work say of him that made it,
        He made me not?
        Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it,
        He had no understanding?

Isa 29:17 [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?
Isa 29:18 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.
Isa 29:19 The meek also shall increase [their] joy in the LORD,
        and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy [One] of Israel.
Isa 29:20 For the terrible one is brought to naught,
        and the scoffer is consumed,
        and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
Isa 29:21 That make a man an offender for a word,
        and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate,
        and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
Isa 29:22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the House of Jacob,
        Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now become pale.
Isa 29:23 But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in the middle of him,
        they shall sanctify My name, and sanctify the Holy [One] of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
Isa 29:24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious sons, said the LORD, that take counsel, but not from Me;
        and that cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Isa 30:2 that walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at My mouth;
        to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shade of Egypt!
Isa 30:3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame,
        and the trust in the shade of Egypt [your] confusion.
Isa 30:4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his messengers came to Hanes.
Isa 30:5 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.
Isa 30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish,
        whence [come] the young and the old lion, the viper and flying serpent,
        they shall 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].
Isa 30:7 For the Egyptian shall help in vain, and to no purpose:
        therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit still.

Isa 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a tablet, and note it in a book,
        that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:
Isa 30:9 that this [is] a rebellious people, lying sons,
        sons [that] will not hear the Law of the LORD:
Isa 30:10 who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets,
        Prophesy not to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Isa 30:11 withdraw from the way, turn aside from the path,
        cause the Holy [One] of Israel to cease from before us.
Isa 30:12 Therefore thus says the Holy [One] of Israel, Because ye despise this word,
        and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean upon it:
Isa 30:13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall,
        swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
Isa 30:14 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 piece to take fire from the hearth,
        or to take water out of the cistern.
Isa 30:15 For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, 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.
Isa 30:16 But ye said, No; for we shall flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee:
        and we shall ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Isa 30:17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee:
        until ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
Isa 30:18 And therefore shall the LORD wait, that He may be gracious to you, and therefore shall 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.

Isa 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: Thou shall weep no more:
        He shall be very gracious to Thee at the voice of Thy cry;
        when He shall hear it, He shall answer Thee.
Isa 30:20 And [though] the Lord shall give you the bread of adversity,
        and the water of affliction, yet shall not Thy teachers be removed into a corner any more,
        but Thy eyes shall see Thy teachers:
Isa 30:21 And Thy ears shall hear a word behind Thee, saying,
        This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Isa 30:22 Ye shall defile also the covering of Thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of Thy molten images of gold:
        Thou shall cast them away as a polluted cloth; Thou shall say to it, Be gone.
Isa 30:23 Then shall He give the rain of Thy seed, with which Thou shall sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the Earth,
        and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall Thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Isa 30:24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that plough the ground shall eat clean fodder,
        which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Isa 30:25 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.
Isa 30:26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be seven-fold,
        as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the breach of His people,
        and heals the stroke of their wound.

Isa 30:27 {Song of Israel in Egypt}.
        Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far,
        burning [with] His anger, and the burden [of it is] heavy:
        His lips are full of indignation,
        His tongue as a devouring fire:
Isa 30:28 And His breath, as an overflowing stream,
        shall reach to the middle 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 go astray.
Isa 30:29 Ye shall have a song,
        as in the night, [when] a Holy solemnity is kept;
        and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe,
        to come upon the Mount of the LORD,
        to the Rock of Israel.
Isa 30:30 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 hail.
Isa 30:31 For through the voice of the LORD,
        shall the Assyrian be beaten down, [who] smote with a rod.
Isa 30:32 And at every passage of the appointed staff,
        which the LORD shall lay upon him,
        [it] shall be with timbrels and harps:
        and in battles of shaking shall He fight with it.
Isa 30:33 For Tophet [is] ordained from yesterday;
        yes, for the king it is prepared;
        He has made [it] deep [and] large: the pile of it [is] fire,
        and much wood; the breath of the LORD,
        like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it.

Isa 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and rely on horses,
         and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen,
         because they are very strong;
         but they look not to the Holy [One] of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Isa 31:2 And He also [is] wise, and shall bring calamity, and shall not call back His words:
        but shall arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
Isa 31:3 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 who helps shall fall, and he who is helped shall fall down,
         and they all shall fail together.
Isa 31:4 For thus has the LORD spoken to me,
         As the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey,
         when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him,
         He shall not be afraid of their voice, nor abase Himself for the noise of them:
         so shall the LORD of Sabaoth come down to fight for Mount Zion, and for her hill.
Isa 31:5 As birds flying, so shall the LORD of Sabaoth defend Jerusalem;
        defending also He shall deliver [it]; [and] passing over He shall preserve [it].
Isa 31:6 Turn ye to Him [from] whom the sons of Israel have deeply revolted.
Isa 31:7 For in that day every man shall cast away his silver idols, and his golden idols,
         which your own hands have made to you [for] a sin.
Isa 31:8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword,
         not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a [common] man, shall devour him:
         but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
Isa 31:9 And he shall pass over to his rock{strong hold} for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign,
         said the LORD, whose flame [is] in Zion, and His furnace in Jerusalem.

Isa 32:1 Behold, a king shall reign for righteousness, and princes shall rule for justice.
Isa 32:2 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 shade of a great Rock in a weary land.
Isa 32:3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim,
        and the ears of them that hear shall listen.
Isa 32:4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge,
        and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Isa 32:5 The foolish shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said [to be] bountiful.
Isa 32:6 For the foolish shall speak villainy, and his heart shall work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy,
        and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry;
        and he shall cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Isa 32:7 The instruments also of the churl [are] evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words,
        even when the needy speaks right.
Isa 32:8 But the noble devises noble things; and by noble things shall he stand.

        the forts and towers shall be for dens forever,
        a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks.

Isa 32:15 Until the Spirit shall be poured upon us from on high,
        and the wilderness shall be a fruitful field,

Isa 32:20 Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth [there] the feet of the ox and the ass!

        and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with Thee!
        When Thou shall cease to lay waste, Thou shall be wasted;
        [and] when Thou shall make an end to deal treacherously,
        they shall deal treacherously with Thee.

Isa 33:5 The LORD is exalted; for He dwells on high: He has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
Isa 33:6 And He shall be the stability of Thy times; wisdom and knowledge,
        [and] Strength of Salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.
Isa 33:7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry outside: the messengers of peace shall weep bitterly.

        he has despised the cities, he regards no man.

Isa 33:13 Ye [that are] far off, hear what I have done; and ye [that are] near, acknowledge My might.
Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites.
        Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isa 33:15 He who walks righteously, and speaks uprightly;
        he who despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes,
        that stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil.
Isa 33:16 He shall dwell on high: <his high tower{place of defence} [shall be] the strong holds of rocks:
           bread shall be given him>; his waters [shall be] sure.
Isa 33:17
        Thy eyes shall see the King in His beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
Isa 33:18 Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe? Where [is] the receiver? Where [is] he who counted the towers?
Isa 33:19 Thou shall not see a fierce people, a people of deeper speech than Thou can perceive;
        of a stammering tongue, [that Thou] cannot understand.
Isa 33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities:
        Thy eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation,

        and all that is in it; the World, and all its offspring.
Isa 34:2 For the indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations, and [his] fury upon all their armies:
        He has utterly destroyed them, He has delivered them to the slaughter.
Isa 34:3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stench shall come up from their carcasses,
        and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
Isa 34:4 And all the Army of Heaven shall be dissolved,

Isa 34:5 For My sword shall be satisfied in Heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom,
        and upon the people of My curse, to judgment.

Isa 35:8 And a highway shall be there, and a Way,
        it shall be called, the Way of Holiness;

Isa 36:1 And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hizkiah,
        Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Isa 36:2 And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem against king Hizkiah with a great army.
        And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
Isa 36:3 Then came forth to him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, who [was] over the household,
        and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
Isa 36:4 And Rab-shakeh said to them,
        Say ye now to Hizkiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria,
        What confidence [is] this in which Thou trust?
Isa 36:5 I say, [say Thou] (but [they are] vain words), counsel and strength for war.
        Now on whom do Thou trust, that Thou rebel against me?
Isa 36:6 Behold, Thou trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt;
        on which if a man lean, it shall enter his hand, and pierce it:
        so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
Isa 36:7 But if Thou shall say to me, We trust in the LORD our God:
        [is it] not He, whose high places and whose Altars Hizkiah has taken away,
        and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this Altar?
Isa 36:8 And now, I pray Thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria,
        and I shall give Thee two thousand horses, if Thou can on Thy part set riders upon them.
Isa 36:9 How then shall Thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants,
        and put Thy trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Isa 36:10 And [am] I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it?
        And the LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Isa 36:11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rab-shakeh,
        Speak, I pray Thee, to Thy servants in Aramaic; for we understand [it]:
        and speak not to us in Jewish, in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.
Isa 36:12 But Rab-shakeh said, has my master sent me to Thy master and to Thee to speak these words?
        Has he not [sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall,
        that they to eat their own dung and to drink the water of their feet with you?
Isa 36:13 Then Rab-shakeh stood, and cried with a great voice in the Jewish language,
        and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Isa 36:14 Thus says the king, Let not Hizkiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you;
Isa 36:15 And let not Hizkiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD shall surely deliver us:
        this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isa 36:16 Listen not to Hizkiah: for thus says the king of Assyria,
        Make [an agreement] with me [by] a present, and come out to me:
        and eat ye every man of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree,
        and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern;
Isa 36:17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land,
        a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
Isa 36:18 [Beware] lest Hizkiah persuade you, saying, The LORD shall deliver us.
        Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Isa 36:19 Where [are] the gods of Hamath, and Arpad?
          Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim?
        And have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Isa 36:20 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?
Isa 36:21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word:
         for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Isa 36:22 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who [was] over the household,
        and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder,
        to Hizkiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
Isa 37:1
        And it came to pass, when king Hizkiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth,
        and went into the House of the LORD.
Isa 37:2 And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth,
        to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Isa 37:3 And they said to him, Thus says Hizkiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy:
        for the sons are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
Isa 37:4 It may be the LORD Thy God shall hear [all] the words of Rab-shakeh,
        whom the king of Assyria his master has sent him to reproach the Living GOD,
        and shall reprove the words which the LORD Thy God has heard:
        therefore lift up [Thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
Isa 37:5 And the servants of king Hizkiah came to Isaiah.
Isa 37:6 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus says the LORD,
        Be not afraid of the words which Thou have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
Isa 37:7 Behold, I shall send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and shall return to his own land;
        and I shall cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Isa 37:8 So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah:
        for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Isa 37:9 And he heard it said concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, [Behold], he has come out to make war against Thee.
        And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hizkiah, saying,
Isa 37:10 Thus shall ye speak to Hizkiah king of Judah, saying,
        Let not Thy God in whom Thou trust deceive Thee, saying,
        Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isa 37:11 Behold, Thou have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands,
        by destroying them utterly: and shall Thou be delivered?
Isa 37:12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed;
        [as] Gozan and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who [were] in Telassar?
Isa 37:13 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

Isa 37:14 {Letter to Hizkiah}.
          And Hizkiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it:
        and Hizkiah went up into the House of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
Isa 37:15 And Hizkiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
Isa 37:16 LORD of Sabaoth, God of Israel, who dwell [between] the cherubim,
        Thou [are] the GOD, Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the World; Thou have made the Heaven and the Earth.
Isa 37:17 Incline Thy ear, LORD, and hear; open Thy eyes, LORD,
        and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who has sent him to reproach the Living GOD.
Isa 37:18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their lands,
Isa 37:19 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.
Isa 37:20 And now, LORD our God, save us from his hand,
        that all the kingdoms of the World may know that Thou [are] the LORD, Thou only.
Isa 37:21
        Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hizkiah, saying, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,
        Whereas Thou have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria.
Isa 37:22 This [is] the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him;
        The virgin, the Daughter of Zion, has despised Thee, [and] derided Thee;
        the Daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at Thee.
Isa 37:23 Whom have Thou reproached and blasphemed?
        And against whom have Thou exalted [Thy] voice,
        and lifted up Thy eyes on high?
        [Even] against the Holy [One] of Israel.
Isa 37:24 By the hand of Thy servants Thou have reproached the Lord, and have said,
        By the multitude of My chariots have I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon;
        and I shall cut down its tall cedars, [and] its choice fir-trees:
        and I shall enter into the height of its border, [and into] the forest of its Carmel.
Isa 37:25 I have dig, and drank [strange] waters; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
Isa 37:26 Have 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 should be to lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
Isa 37:27 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 roofs, and [as grain] blasted before it is grown up.
Isa 37:28
          But I know Thy abode, and Thy going out, and Thy coming in, and Thy rage against Me;
Isa 37:29 because Thy rage against Me, and Thy tumult, is come up into My ears,
        therefore I shall put My hook in Thy nose, and My bridle in Thy lips,
        and I shall turn Thee back by the way by which Thou came.
Isa 37:30
        And this [shall be] a sign to Thee,
        Ye shall eat [this] year such things as grows of itself;
        and in the second year that which springs of the same;
        and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Isa 37:31 And the remnant that has escaped of the House of Judah,
        shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Isa 37:32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant,
        and they that escape from Mount Zion:
        the zeal of the LORD of Sabaoth shall do this.
Isa 37:33
        Therefore thus says 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 mound against it.
Isa 37:34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return,
         and shall not come into this city, said the LORD.
Isa 37:35 For I shall defend this city, to save it for My own sake,
          and for My servant David's sake.
Isa 37:36 Then the Angel of the LORD went forth,
          and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred eighty five thousand:
          and when they{the rest} arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead carcasses.
Isa 37:37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed,
          and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Isa 37:38
        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 Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.

Isa 38:1 In those days Hizkiah was sick to death.
        And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him,
        Thus says the LORD, Set Thy house in order: for Thou shall die, and not live.
Isa 38:2 Then Hizkiah turned his face towards the wall, and prayed to the LORD,
Isa 38:3 and said, Remember now, 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 eyes. And Hizkiah wept sore.
Isa 38:4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
Isa 38:5 Go and say to Hizkiah,
        Thus says the LORD, the God of David Thy father, I have heard Thy prayer,
        I have seen Thy tears: behold, I shall add to Thy days fifteen years.
Isa 38:6 And I shall deliver Thee and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria;
         and I shall defend this city.
Isa 38:7 And this [shall be] a sign to Thee from the LORD, that the LORD shall do this thing that He has spoken;
Isa 38:8 Behold, I shall bring back the shadow of the degrees,
        which has gone down on the sun-dial of Ahaz ten degrees backward.
        So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it had gone down.
Isa 38:9
        {Writing of Hizkiah}.
         The writing of Hizkiah king of Judah,
         when he had been sick, and had recovered from his sickness:
Isa 38:10 I said in the cutting off of my days,
          I shall go to the gates of Sheol:
          I [am] deprived of the residue of my years.
Isa 38:11 I said, I shall not see JaH, [even] JaH, in the land of the living:
          I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the World.
Isa 38:12 My generation has departed, and turned away from me as a shepherd's tent:
          I have cut off like a weaver my life:
         he shall cut me off with pining sickness:
         from day to night shall Thou make an end of me.
Isa 38:13
        I counted until morning, [that], as a lion, so shall He break all my bones:
         from day to night shall Thou make an end of me.
Isa 38:14 Like a crane [or] a swallow, so I twitter:
          I mourned as a dove: my eyes fail [with looking] upward:
          LORD, I [am] oppressed; undertake for me.
Isa 38:15
        What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done [it]:
          I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
Isa 38:16 Lord, by these [things men] live,
          and in all these [things is] the life of my spirit:
          so shall Thou recover me, and make me to live.
Isa 38:17
        Behold, for peace I had great bitterness:
        but Thou have in love to my soul [delivered it] from the pit of corruption:
        for Thou have cast all my sins behind Thy back.
Isa 38:18 For Sheol cannot praise Thee, death cannot celebrate Thee:
        they that go down into the pit cannot hope for Thy truth.
Isa 38:19 The living, the living, he shall praise Thee, as I [do] this day:
          the father to the sons shall make known Thy truth.
Isa 38:20
        The LORD [was ready] to save me:
        therefore we shall sing my songs to the stringed instruments,
         all the days of our life in the House of the LORD.
        {End Writing}.
Isa 38:21 For Isaiah had said,
         Let them take a lump of figs, and lay [it] for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
Isa 38:22 Hizkiah also had said,
          What [is] the sign that I shall go up to the House of the LORD?
Isa 39:1 At that time Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hizkiah:
        for he had heard that he had been sick, and had recovered.
Isa 39:2 And Hizkiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things,
        the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour,
        and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house,
        nor in all his dominion, that Hizkiah did not show them.
Isa 39:3 Then came Isaiah the prophet to king Hizkiah,
        and said to him, What said these men? And whence came they to Thee?
        And Hizkiah said, They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon.
Isa 39:4 Then said he, What have they seen in Thy house?
        And Hizkiah answered, All that [is] in my house have they seen:
        there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
Isa 39:5 Then said Isaiah to Hizkiah, Hear the word of the LORD of Sabaoth:
Isa 39:6 Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in Thy house,
        and that which Thy fathers have laid up in store until this day,
        shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, said the LORD.
Isa 39:7 And of Thy sons that shall issue from Thee, which Thou shall beget, shall they take away;
        and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Isa 39:8 Then said Hizkiah to Isaiah, Good [is] the word of the LORD which Thou have spoken.
        And He said, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

Isa 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, said your God.
Isa 40:2 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem,
        and cry to her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned:
        for she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins.
Isa 40:3 A voice crying in the wilderness,
        Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
        make His paths straight; [Mat 3:3]
        in the desert for our God.
Isa 40:4 Every valley shall be filled,
        and every mountain and hill shall be brought low;
        and the crooked shall be made straight,
        and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth; [Luk 3:5]
Isa 40:5 (and the glory of the LORD shall be revealed).
        And all flesh shall see [the Salvation of GOD] together: [Luk 3:6]
        (for the mouth of the LORD has spoken).
Isa 40:6 The voice said, Cry. And He said, What shall I cry?
        Because all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. [1Pe 1:24]
Isa 40:7 The grass withered, and its flower fell off: [1Pe 1:24]
        because the Spirit of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
Isa 40:8 The grass withered, and its flower fell off: [1Pe 1:24]
        but the saying of our God remains forever. [1Pe 1:25]
Isa 40:9 Go up upon the high Mountain:
         Zion, that bring the Gospel, [1Pe 1:25]
         Jerusalem, that bring the Gospel,
         lift up Thy voice with strength;
         lift [it] up, be not afraid;
         say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Isa 40:10
        Behold, the Lord JeHoVaH shall come with strong [hand], and His arm shall rule for Him:
        behold, His reward [is] with Him, and His work before Him.
Isa 40:11 He shall feed His flock like a Shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm,
        and carry [them] in His bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that are with young.
Isa 40:12
        Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and measured Heaven with the span,
        and comprehended the dust of the Earth in a measure,
        and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Isa 40:13 Who has directed the mind of the LORD, or [being] His counsellor has taught Him? [Rom 11:34]
Isa 40:14 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?
Isa 40:15 Behold, the nations [are] as a drop from a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance:
        behold, He takes up the isles as a very little thing.
Isa 40:16 And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt-offering.
Isa 40:17 All nations before Him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to Him less than nothing, and vanity.
Isa 40:18 To whom then shall ye liken God? Or what likeness shall ye compare to Him?
Isa 40:19 The workman melts a graven image, and the goldsmith spreads it over with gold, and casts silver chains.
Isa 40:20 He who [is] so impoverished that he has no oblation chooses a tree [that] shall not rot;
        he seeks for himself a skilful workman to prepare a graven image [that] shall not be moved.
Isa 40:21 Have ye not known?
        Have ye not heard?
        Has it not been told you from the beginning?
        Have ye not understood from the foundations of the Earth?
Isa 40:22 He who sits upon the circle of the Earth, and its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers;
        that stretches out the Heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in:
Isa 40:23 that brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the Earth as vanity.
Isa 40:24 Yes, they shall not be planted; yes, they shall not be sown: yes, 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.
Isa 40:25 To whom then shall ye liken Me, or shall I be equalled? Said the Holy [One].
Isa 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these [things], that brings out their army by number:
        He calls them all by names, by the greatness of His might, and strong in power; not one fails.
Isa 40:27 Why say Thou, Jacob, and speak, Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over by my God?
Isa 40:28 Have Thou not known?
        Have Thou not heard?
        The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the Earth,
        faints not, neither is weary?
        [There is] no searching of His understanding.
Isa 40:29 He gives power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might He increases strength.
Isa 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Isa 40:31 but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
        they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

Isa 41:1 Keep silence before Me, isles; and let the peoples renew [their] strength: let them come near;
        then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Isa 41:2 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.
Isa 41:3 He pursued them, [and] passed safely; by the way [that] he had not gone with his feet.
Isa 41:4 Who has wrought and done [it], calling the generations from the beginning?
        I the LORD, the First and the Last; I [AM] He. [Rev 1:17]

Isa 41:6 They helped every one his neighbour; and [every one] said to his brother, Be of good courage.
Isa 41:7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, [and] he smoothing [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.
Isa 41:8
        But Thou, Israel, [are] My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend.
Isa 41:9 [Thou] whom I have taken from the ends of the Earth, and called Thee from its chief men,
        and said to Thee, Thou [are] My servant; I have chosen Thee, and not cast Thee away.
Isa 41:10 Fear Thou not; for I [AM] with Thee: be not dismayed; for I [AM] Thy God: I shall strengthen Thee;
        yes, I shall help Thee; yes, I shall uphold Thee with the right hand of My righteousness.
Isa 41:11 Behold, all [they that were] incensed against Thee shall be ashamed and confounded:
        they shall be as nothing; and they that contend with Thee shall perish.
Isa 41:12 Thou shall seek them, and shall not find them, them that contended with Thee:
        they that war against Thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of naught.
Isa 41:13
        For I the LORD Thy God shall hold Thy right hand, saying to Thee, Fear not; I shall help Thee.
Isa 41:14 Fear not, Thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I shall help Thee,
        said the LORD, and Thy Redeemer, the Holy [One] of Israel.
Isa 41:15 Behold, I shall make Thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth:
        Thou shall thresh the mountains, and beat [them] small, and shall make the hills as chaff.
Isa 41:16 Thou shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them:
        and Thou shall rejoice in the LORD, [and] shall glory in the Holy [One] of Israel.
Isa 41:17 [When] the poor and needy seek water, and [there is] none, [and] their tongue fails for thirst,
        I the LORD shall reply them, [I] the God of Israel shall not forsake them.
Isa 41:18 I shall open rivers in high places, and fountains in the middle of the valleys:
        I shall make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
Isa 41:19 I shall plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah-tree, and the myrtle, and the olive-tree;
        I shall set in the desert the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together:
Isa 41:20 that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together,
        that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy [One] of Israel has created it.

Isa 41:21 Produce your cause, said the LORD; bring forth your strong [reasons], said the King of Jacob.
Isa 41:22 Let them bring [them] forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things,
        what they [are] that we may set our heart, and know the latter end of them; or explain to us things to come.
Isa 41:23 Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye [are] GODS:
        yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold [it] together.
Isa 41:24 Behold, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of naught: an abomination [is he who] chooses you.
Isa 41:25 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 prefects as [upon] mortar, and as the potter treads clay.
Isa 41:26 Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? And before time, that we may say, [he is] righteous?
        Truly, [there is] none that shows, truly, [there is] none that declares, truly, [there is] none that hears your words.
Isa 41:27 The first [shall say] to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I shall give to Jerusalem one that brings good tidings.
Isa 41:28 For I beheld, and [there was] no man; even among them, and [there was] no counsellor,
        that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Isa 41:29 Behold, they [are] all vanity, their works [are] nothing: their molten images [are] wind and confusion.

Isa 42:1 {Servant Song 1}.
        Behold, My Servant, whom I have chosen;
        My beloved, in whom My soul is well pleased:
        I shall put My Spirit upon Him,
        and He shall show judgment to the gentiles. [Mat 12:18]
Isa 42:2 He shall not contend, nor shall cry;
        neither shall anyone in the streets hear His voice. [Mat 12:19]
Isa 42:3 A bruised reed shall He not break,
        and smoking flax shall He not quench,
        until He shall send forth the judgment to victory. [Mat 12:20]
Isa 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged,
        until He has set judgment in the Earth: the isles shall wait for His Law.
        And in His name shall [the] gentiles hope. [Mat 12:21]

Isa 42:5 Thus says God the LORD, He who created the Heavens,
        and expanded them; He who spread forth the Earth,
        and its offspring;
        He who gives breath to the people upon it,
        and spirit to them that walk in it.
Isa 42:6 I the LORD have called Thee in righteousness,
        and shall hold Thy hand, and shall keep Thee,
        and give Thee for a Covenant of the people,
        for a Light of the gentiles;
Isa 42:7 to open the blind eyes,
        to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
        [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Isa 42:8 I [AM] the LORD: that [is] My name:
        and My glory shall I not give to another,
        neither My praise to graven images.
Isa 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
        and new things do I declare:
        before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Isa 42:10 {Song of Praise}.
        Sing to the LORD a <new song>,
        [and] His praise from the end of the Earth,
        ye that go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the isles,
        and their inhabitants.
Isa 42:11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice],
        the villages [that] Kedar does inhabit:
        <let the inhabitants of the Rock sing>,
        let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Isa 42:12 Let them give glory to the LORD,
        and declare His praise in the isles.
Isa 42:13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man,
        He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war:
        He shall cry, yes, roar; He shall prevail against His enemies.
Isa 42:14 I have long time held My peace;
        I have been still, [and] restrained myself:
        [now] shall I cry like a travailing woman;
        I shall destroy and devour at once.
Isa 42:15 I shall make waste mountains and hills,
        and dry up all their herbs;
        and I shall make the rivers [to be] isles,
        and I shall dry up the pools.
Isa 42:16 And I shall bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not;
          I shall lead them in paths [that] they have not known:
          I shall make darkness light before them,
        and crooked things straight.
        These things I shall do for them, and not forsake them.
Isa 42:17 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.
Isa 42:18
        Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Isa 42:19 Who [is] blind, but My servant?
        Or deaf, as My messenger [that] I sent?
        Who [is] blind as he [that is] at peace, and blind as the LORD's Servant?
Isa 42:20 Seeing many [things], but Thou observe not;
        opening the ears, but he hears not.
Isa 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for His righteousness' sake;
        He shall magnify the Law, and make [it] honourable.
Isa 42:22 But this [is] a people robbed and pillaged;
        [they are] all of them snared in holes,
        and they are hid in prison houses;
        they are for a prey, and none delivers;
        for a spoil, and none said, Restore.
Isa 42:23 Who among you shall give ear to this?
        [Who] shall listen, and hear for the time to come?
Isa 42:24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers?
        Did not the LORD, He against whom we have sinned?
        For they would not walk in His ways,
        neither were they obedient to His Law.
Isa 42:25 Therefore He has poured upon him the fury of His anger,
        and the strength of battle:
        and it has set him on fire around,
        yet He knew not; and it burned him,
        yet He laid [it] not to heart.
Isa 43:1
        But now thus says the LORD that created Thee, Jacob,
        and he who formed Thee, Israel,
        Fear not: for I have redeemed Thee,
        I have called [Thee] by Thy name; Thou [are] Mine.
Isa 43:2 When Thou pass through the waters, I [shall be] with Thee;
        and through the rivers, they shall not overflow Thee:
        when Thou walk through the fire, Thou shall not be burned;
        neither shall the flame kindle upon Thee.
Isa 43:3 For I [AM] the LORD Thy God, the Holy [One] of Israel, Thy Saviour:
        I gave Egypt [for] Thy ransom, Cush and Seba for Thee.
Isa 43:4 Since Thou have been precious in My sight, Thou have been honourable, and I have loved Thee:
        therefore I shall give men for Thee, and peoples for Thy soul.
Isa 43:5
        Fear not: for I [AM] with Thee:
        I shall bring Thy seed from the east,
        and gather Thee from the west;
Isa 43:6 I shall 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;
Isa 43:7 every one that is called by My name: for I have created him for My glory,
        I have formed him; truly, I have made him.
Isa 43:8
        Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
Isa 43:9 Let all the nations be collected, and let the peoples 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.
Isa 43:10
        Ye [are] My witnesses, said 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.
Isa 43:11 I, [even] I, [AM] the LORD; and besides Me [there is] no Saviour.
Isa 43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shown, when [there was] no strange [god] among you:
        therefore ye [are] My witnesses, said the LORD, that I [AM] God.
Isa 43:13 Yes, before the day [was], I [AM] He; and [there is] none that can deliver out of My hand:
        I shall work, and who shall hinder it?
Isa 43:14 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy [One] of Israel;
        For your sakes I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their fugitives,
        and the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the ships.
Isa 43:15 I [AM] the LORD, your Holy [One], the Creator of Israel, your King.
Isa 43:16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
Isa 43:17 who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together,
        they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
Isa 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Isa 43:19 Behold, I shall do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?
        I shall even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.
Isa 43:20 The animal of the field shall honour Me, the monsters and the ostriches: because I give waters in the wilderness,
        [and] rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen.
Isa 43:21 This people have I formed for Myself; they shall show forth My praise.
Isa 43:22
        But Thou have not called upon me, Jacob; but Thou have been weary of Me, Israel.
Isa 43:23 Thou have not brought Me the small cattle of Thy burnt-offerings; neither have Thou honoured me with Thy sacrifices.
        I have not caused Thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied Thee with frankincense.
Isa 43:24 Thou have bought Me no sweet cane with money, neither have Thou filled Me with the fat of Thy sacrifices:
        but Thou have made me to serve with Thy sins, Thou have wearied me with Thy iniquities.
Isa 43:25 I, [even] I, [AM] He who blots out Thy transgressions for My own sake, and shall not remember Thy sins.
Isa 43:26 Put Me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare Thou, that Thou may be justified.
Isa 43:27 Thy first father has sinned, and Thy teachers have transgressed against Me.
Isa 43:28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the Sanctuary,
        and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
Isa 44:1
        Yet now hear, Jacob My servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen.
Isa 44:2 Thus says the LORD that made Thee, and formed Thee from the womb,
        [who] shall help Thee: Fear not, Jacob, My servant;
        and Thou, Jeshurun{upright} whom I have chosen.
Isa 44:3 For I shall pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry [land]:
        I shall pour My Spirit upon Thy seed, and My blessing upon Thy offspring:
Isa 44:4 and they shall spring up [as] among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
Isa 44:5 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 to the LORD, and surname [Himself] by the name of Israel.
Isa 44:6
        Thus says the LORD the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the LORD of Sabaoth;
        I [AM] the First and the Last; [Rev 1:17]
        and besides Me [there is] no GOD. [Isa 45:21]
Isa 44:7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it,
        and set it in order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people?
        And the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show to them.
Isa 44:8 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?
        There is no other Rock; I know.

Isa 44:9 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.
Isa 44:10 Who has formed a god, or cast a graven image [that] is profitable for nothing?
Isa 44:11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they [are] of men: let them all be assembled,
        let them stand up; [yet] they shall fear, [and] they shall be ashamed together.
Isa 44:12 The smith with the tongs both works in the coals, and fashions it with hammers,
        and works it with the strength of his arms:
        yes, he is hungry, and his strength fails: he drinks no water, and is faint.
Isa 44:13 The carpenter stretches out [his] rule;
        he marks it out with a line; he fits it with planes,
        and he marks it out with the compass,
        and makes it after the figure of a man,
        according to the beauty of a man;
        that it may remain in the house.
Isa 44:14 He hews down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak,
        which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest:
        he plants an ash, and the rain does nourish [it].
Isa 44:15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he shall take of it,
        and warm himself; indeed he kindles [it],
        and bakes bread;
        yes, he makes a god, and worships [it];
        he makes it a graven image, and falls down to it.
Isa 44:16 He burns part of it in the fire; with part of it he eats flesh;
        he roasts roast, and is satisfied: yes, he warms [himself],
        and said, Aha, I [am] warm, I have seen the flame:
Isa 44:17 and the residue of it he makes a god, his graven image.
        He falls down to it, and worships [it], and prays to it,
        and said, Deliver me; for Thou [are] my god.
Isa 44:18 They have not known nor understood:
        for he has shut their eyes,
        that they cannot see; [and] their hearts,
        that they cannot understand.
Isa 44:19 And none considers in his heart,
        neither [is there] knowledge nor understanding:
        to say, I have burned part of it in the fire;
        I have also baked bread upon its coals;
        I have roasted flesh, and eaten [it]:
        and shall I make the residue of it an abomination?
        Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
Isa 44:20 He feeds on ashes: a deceived heart has turned him aside,
        that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not a lie in My right hand?
Isa 44:21
        Remember these, Jacob and Israel; for Thou [are] My servant: I have formed Thee;
        Thou [are] My servant: Israel, Thou shall not be forgotten by Me.
Isa 44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud,
        Thy transgressions, and as a cloud,
        Thy sins: return to Me; for I have redeemed Thee.
Isa 44:23 {Song of Creation}.
        Sing, ye Heavens; for the LORD has done [it]:
        shout, ye lower parts of the Earth:
        break forth into singing, ye mountains, forest, and every tree:
        for the LORD has redeemed Jacob,
        and glorified Himself in Israel.
Isa 44:24 Thus says the LORD Thy Redeemer,
        and He who formed Thee from the womb,
        [I AM] the LORD that makes all [things];
        that stretches forth the Heavens alone;
        that spreads abroad the Earth by Myself.

Isa 44:25 That frustrates the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad;
        that turns wise [men] backward, and makes their knowledge foolish.
Isa 44:26 That confirms the word of His Servant,
        and performs the counsel of his messengers; that said to Jerusalem,
        Thou shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah,
        Ye shall be built, and I shall raise up her decayed places.
Isa 44:27 That said to the deep, Be dry, and I shall dry up Thy rivers.
Isa 44:28 That said of Cyrus: [He is] My shepherd,
        and he shall perform all My pleasure:
        even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shall be built;
        and to the Temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
Isa 45:1
        Thus says the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus,
        whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before Him;
        and I shall loose the loins of kings,
        to open before Him the two-leaved gates,
        and the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:2 I shall go before Thee, and make the crooked places straight:
        I shall break in pieces the gates of bronze,
        and cut asunder the bars of iron:
Isa 45:3 and I shall give Thee the treasures of darkness,
        and hidden riches of secret places,
        that Thou may know that I, the LORD,
        who call [Thee] by Thy name, [AM] the God of Israel.
Isa 45:4 For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My chosen,
        I have even called Thee by Thy name:
        I have surnamed Thee, though Thou have not known Me:
Isa 45:5 I [AM] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God besides Me:
        I girded Thee, though Thou have not known Me:
Isa 45:6 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.
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness:
        I make peace, and create adversity:
        I the LORD do all these [things].
Isa 45:8
        Drip, ye Heavens, from above,
        and let the clouds pour down righteousness:
        let the Earth open, and let them bring forth Salvation,
        and let righteousness spring up together;
        I the LORD have created it.
Isa 45:9 Woe to him that contends with His Maker!
        [Let] the potsherd [contend] with the potsherds of the Earth.
        Shall the clay say to Him that fashions it, What make Thou?
        Or Thy work, He has no hands?
Isa 45:10 Woe to him that said to [his] father, What beget Thou?
        Or to the woman, What have Thou brought forth?
Isa 45:11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy [One] of Israel, and his Maker,
        Ask me of things to come concerning My sons,
        and concerning the work of my hands command ye Me.
Isa 45:12 I have made the Earth, and created man upon it:
        I, [with] My hands have stretched out the Heavens, and all their army have I commanded.
Isa 45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I shall straight all his ways:
        he shall build My city, and he shall let go My captives, not for price nor reward,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.

Isa 45:14 Thus says the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Cush and of the Sabeans, men of stature,
        shall come over to Thee, and they shall be Thy: they shall come after Thee;
        in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down to Thee, they shall make supplication to Thee,
        [saying], Surely, God [is] in Thee; and besides Me [there is] no GOD.
Isa 45:15 Truly Thou [are] a God that hide Thyself, God of Israel, the Saviour.
Isa 45:16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them:
        they shall go to confusion together [that are] makers of idols.
Isa 45:17 Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting Salvation:
        ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded to all eternity.
Isa 45:18
        For thus says the LORD that created the Heavens; GOD Himself that formed the Earth and made it; [Gen 1:1-2]
        He has established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited:
        I [AM] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
Isa 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the Earth:
        I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye Me in vain:
        I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Isa 45:20 <Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye [that have] escaped of the nations>:
        they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray to a god [that] cannot save.
Isa 45:21 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yes, let them take counsel together:
        who has declared this from ancient time? [Who] has told it from that time?
        [Have] not I the LORD? And [there is] no GOD else besides Me;
        a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none besides Me.
Isa 45:22 Look to Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the Earth:
        for I [AM] God, and [there is] none else.
Isa 45:23 I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth [in] righteousness,
        and shall not return, [As I live, says the LORD] every knee shall bow to Me,
        and every tongue shall confess [to GOD]. [Rom 14:11]
Isa 45:24 Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength:
        to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
Isa 45:25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

Isa 46:1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols were upon the animals,
        and upon the cattle: your loads [were] heavy; [they were] a burden to the weary.
Isa 46:2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden,
        but their souls have gone into captivity.
Isa 46:3
        Listen to Me, House of Jacob, and all the remnant of the House of Israel,
        which are borne [by me] from the birth, which are carried from the womb:
Isa 46:4 and to [your] old age I [AM] He;
        and to hoary hairs shall I carry [you]: I have made,
        and I shall bear; even I shall carry, and shall deliver [you].
Isa 46:5 To whom will ye liken Me, and make equal,
        and compare Me, that we may be like?
Isa 46:6
        They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, [and] hire a goldsmith;
        and he makes it a god: they fall down, yes, they worship.
Isa 46:7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place,
        and he stands; from his place shall he not remove:
        yes, [one] shall cry to him, yet he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Isa 46:8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring [it] again to [the] heart, ye transgressors.
Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I [AM] God, and [there is] no other GOD else like Me,
Isa 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done,
        saying, My counsel shall stand, and I shall do all My pleasure:
Isa 46:11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes My counsel from a far country:
        yes, I have spoken [it], I shall also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I shall also perform it.
Isa 46:12
        Listen to Me, ye stout of heart, that [are] far from righteousness:
Isa 46:13 I bring near My righteousness; it shall not be far off, and My Salvation shall not delay:
        and I shall place Salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.

Isa 47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin Daughter of Babylon,
        sit upon the ground: [there is] no throne, Daughter of the Chaldeans:
        for Thou shall no more be called tender and delicate.
Isa 47:2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover Thy locks,
        make bare the leg, uncover the thigh,
        pass over the rivers.
Isa 47:3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered,
        yes, Thy shame shall be seen:
        I shall take vengeance,
        and I shall not meet Thee [as] a man.
Isa 47:4 [As for] our Redeemer, the LORD of Sabaoth [is] His name,
        the Holy [One] of Israel.
Isa 47:5 Sit Thou silent, and get Thee into darkness, Daughter of the Chaldeans:
        for Thou shall no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
Isa 47:6 I was wroth with My people, I have polluted My inheritance, and given them into Thy hand:
        Thou did show them no mercy; upon the ancient have Thou very heavily laid Thy yoke.
Isa 47:7 And Thou said, I shall be a lady forever: [so] that Thou did not lay these [things] to Thy heart,
        neither did remember the latter end of it.
Isa 47:8 Therefore hear now this, Thou [that are] given to pleasures, that dwell carelessly, that say in Thy heart,
        I [am], and none else besides me;
        I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Isa 47:9 but these two [things] shall come to Thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children,
        and widowhood: they shall come upon Thee in their perfection,
        for the multitude of Thy sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of Thy enchantments.
Isa 47:10 For Thou have trusted in Thy wickedness:
        Thou have said, None sees me.
        Thy wisdom and Thy knowledge, it has perverted Thee; and Thou have said in Thy heart,
        I [am], and none else besides me.
Isa 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon Thee; Thou shall not know whence it rises: and mischief shall fall upon Thee;
        Thou shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon Thee suddenly, [which] Thou shall not know.
Isa 47:12 Stand now with Thy enchantments, and with the multitude of Thy sorceries,
        in which Thou have laboured from Thy youth;
        if Thou shall be able to profit, if Thou may prevail.
Isa 47:13 Thou are wearied in the multitude of Thy counsels.
        Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators of the Heavens,
        stand up and save Thee, from that shall come upon Thee.
Isa 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them;
        they shall not deliver their souls from the power of the flame:
        [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
Isa 47:15 Thus shall they be to Thee with whom Thou have laboured, Thy merchants, from Thy youth:
        they shall wander every one to his side; none shall save Thee.

Isa 48:1 Hear ye this, House of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel,
        and have come forth out of the waters of Judah,
        who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel,
        [but] not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Isa 48:2 For they call themselves of the Holy City, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel;
        the LORD of Sabaoth [is] His name.
Isa 48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning;
        and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them;
        I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
Isa 48:4
        Because I knew that Thou [are] obstinate,
        and Thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and Thy forehead bronze;
Isa 48:5 And I declared [it] to Thee from the beginning; before it came to pass I showed [it] Thee:
        lest Thou should say, My idol has done them, and My graven image,
        and My molten image, has commanded them.
Isa 48:6 Thou have heard, see all this; and shall not ye declare [it]?
        I have showed ye new things from now on, even hidden things, and Thou did not know them.
Isa 48:7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when Thou heard them not;
        lest Thou should say, Behold, I knew them.
Isa 48:8 Yes, Thou heard not; and Thou knew not;
        yes, from that time [that] Thy ear was not opened:
        for I knew that Thou would deal very treacherously,
        and were called a transgressor from the womb.
Isa 48:9 For My name's sake shall I defer My anger,
        and for My praise shall I refrain for Thee, that I cut Thee not off.
Isa 48:10 Behold, I have refined Thee, but not with silver; I have chosen Thee in the furnace of affliction.
Isa 48:11 For My own sake, for My own sake, I shall do [it]:
        for how should My name be profaned? And I shall not give My glory to another.
Isa 48:12
        Listen to Me, Jacob and Israel, My called;
        I [AM] He; I [AM] the First, I also [AM] the Last. [Rev 1:17]
Isa 48:13 My hand also has laid the foundation of the Earth,
        and My right hand has spanned the Heavens:
        [when] I call to them, they stand up together.
Isa 48:14 All ye, assemble yourselves and hear;
        who among them has declared these [things]? The LORD has loved him:
        He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, and His arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.
Isa 48:15 I, [even] I, have spoken, yes, I have called him:
        I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Isa 48:16 Come ye near to Me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
        from the time that it was, there [AM] I: and now the Lord JeHoVaH,
        and His Spirit, has sent Me.
Isa 48:17 Thus says the LORD, Thy Redeemer, the Holy [One] of Israel; [AM] the LORD Thy God,
        who teaches Thee to profit, who leads Thee by the way [that] Thou should go.
Isa 48:18 That Thou had listened to My Commandments!
        Then had Thy peace been as a river,
        and Thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Isa 48:19 Thy seed also had been as the sand,
        and the offspring of Thy bowels like its gravel;
        his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before Me.
Isa 48:20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans,
        with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it until the end of the Earth;
        say ye, The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob.
Isa 48:21 And they thirsted not, [when] He led them through the deserts:
        He caused the waters to flow out of the Rock for them:
        He cleaved the Rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Isa 48:22 [There is] no peace, said the LORD, to the wicked.

Isa 49:1 {Servant Song 2}.
        Listen to Me, Isles; and listen, [ye] peoples, from far;
        The LORD has called Me from the womb;
        from the bowels of My mother has He made mention of My name.
Isa 49:2 And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; in the shade of His hand has He hid Me,
        and made me a polished arrow; in His quiver has He hid Me;
Isa 49:3 and said to Me, Thou [are] My servant, Israel, in whom I shall be glorified.
Isa 49:4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for naught, and in vain;
        [yet] surely My Judgment [is] with the LORD, and My work with My God.
Isa 49:5 And now, said 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.
Isa 49:6 And He said, It is a light thing that Thou should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
        and to restore the preserved of Israel:
        I have set Thee to be a Light of the gentiles,
        for Thee to be for Salvation to the ends of the Earth. [Act 13:47]
Isa 49:7
        Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] His Holy [One],
        to the despised soul, to the abhorred of the nation, 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.
Isa 49:8
        Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time, and in a Day of Salvation have I helped Thee: [2Co 6:2]
        and I shall preserve Thee, and give Thee for a Covenant of the people,
        to establish the Earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages.
Isa 49:9 That Thou may 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.
Isa 49:10 They shall hunger no more, neither shall thirst any more;
        neither should the sun strike on them, nor any heat:
        for He who has mercy on them shall lead them,
        even by the springs of water shall He guide them. [Rev 7:16]
Isa 49:11
        And I shall make all My mountains a way,
        and My highways shall be exalted.
Isa 49:12 Behold, these shall come from far:
        and behold, these from the north and from the west;
        and these from the land of Sinim.

Isa 49:13 Sing, Heavens,
        and be joyful, Earth;
        and break forth into singing, mountains:
        for the LORD has comforted His people,
        and shall have mercy upon His afflicted.
Isa 49:14 But Zion said, The LORD has forsaken me,
        and my Lord has forgotten me.
Isa 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child,
        that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
        Yes, they may forget, yet I shall not forget Thee.
Isa 49:16 Behold, I have graven Thee upon the palms of My hands; Thy walls [are] continually before me.
Isa 49:17 Thy sons shall make haste; Thy destroyers and they that made Thee waste, shall go forth from Thee.
Isa 49:18 Lift up Thy eyes around, and behold: all these assemble themselves, [and] come to Thee. [As] I live, said the LORD,
        Thou shall surely clothe Thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them [on Thee], as a bride.
Isa 49:19 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.
Isa 49:20 The sons which Thou shall have, after Thou have lost the other,
        shall say again in Thy ears, The place [is] too narrow for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
Isa 49:21 Then shall Thou say in Thy heart, Who has begotten these for me, seeing I have lost my children,
        and [am] desolate, a captive, and removing back and forth? And who has brought up these?
        Behold, I was left alone; these, where [have] they [been]?
Isa 49:22 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold,
        I shall lift up My hand to the gentiles, and set up My standard to the people:
        and they shall bring Thy sons in [their] arms, and Thy daughters shall be carried upon [their] shoulders.
Isa 49:23 And kings shall be Thy nursing fathers, and their queens Thy nursing mothers:
        they shall bow to Thee with [their] face towards the Earth,
        and lick up the dust of Thy feet; and Thou shall know that I [AM] the LORD:
        for they shall not be ashamed that wait for Me.
Isa 49:24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
Isa 49:25 But thus says the LORD,
        Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered:
        for I shall contend with him that contends with Thee, and I shall save Thy sons.
Isa 49:26 And I shall feed them that oppress Thee with their own flesh;
        and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine:
        and all flesh shall know that I the LORD [AM] Thy Saviour and Thy Redeemer, the Mighty of Jacob.
Isa 50:1
        Thus says the LORD, Where [is] your mother's writing of 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.
Isa 50:2 Why, when I came, [was there] no man?
        When I called, [was there] none answering?
        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 stink, because [there is] no water, and dies for thirst.
Isa 50:3 I clothe the Heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

Isa 50:4 {Servant Song 3}.
        The Lord JeHoVaH has given me the tongue of the learned,
        that I should know how to speak a word in season to him [that is] weary:
        He wakens morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as the learned.
Isa 50:5 The Lord JeHoVaH opened My ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
Isa 50:6 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.
Isa 50:7 For the Lord JeHoVaH shall 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.
Isa 50:8 [He is] near that justifies Me; who shall contend with Me?
        Let us stand together; who [is] My adversary? Let him come near to Me.
Isa 50:9 Behold the Lord JeHoVaH shall help Me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn Me?
        Behold, they all shall grow old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Isa 50:10
        Who [is] among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of His Servant,
        [he] that walks [in] darkness, and has no Light?
        Let him trust in the name of the LORD, and rely upon his God.
Isa 50:11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that surrounds [yourselves] with sparks:
        walk in the flame of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled.
        This shall ye have of My hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

Isa 51:1 Listen to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD:
        look to the Rock [whence] ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit [where] ye are dig.
Isa 51:2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah [that] bore you:
        for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
Isa 51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: He shall comfort all her waste places;
        and He shall make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the Garden of the LORD;
        joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Isa 51:4
        Listen to Me, My people; and give ear to Me,
        My nation: for a law shall proceed from Me,
        and I shall make My judgment to rest for a light of the people.
Isa 51:5 My righteousness [is] near; my Salvation is gone forth,
        and My arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon Me,
        and on My arm shall they hope.
Isa 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the Heavens, and look beneath upon the Earth:
        for the Heavens shall vanish away like smoke,
        and the Earth shall become old like a garment,
        and its inhabitants shall die in like manner:
        but My Salvation shall be forever,
        and My righteousness shall not be abolished.
Isa 51:7
        Listen to Me, ye that know righteousness,
        the people in whose heart [is] My Law;
        fear ye not the reproach of men,
        neither be ye afraid of their revelings.
Isa 51:8 For the moth shall eat them like a garment,
        and the worm shall eat them like wool:
        but My righteousness shall be forever,
        and My Salvation from generation to generation.
Isa 51:9
        Awake, awake, put on Thy strength, arm of the LORD;
        awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old.
        [Are] Thou not that which has cut Rahab, [and] wounded the monster?
Isa 51:10 [Are] Thou not that which has dried the sea, the waters of the great Abyss;
        that has made the abysses of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Isa 51:11 And the redeemed of the LORD shall return,
          and come with singing to Zion and everlasting joy upon their heads:
          they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Isa 51:12 I, [even] I, [am] He who comforts you: who [are] Thou,
        that Thou should be afraid of a man [that] shall die, and of a son of man [who] shall be made [as] grass;
Isa 51:13 and forget the LORD Thy maker, that has stretched forth the Heavens, and laid the foundations of the Earth;
        and have 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?
Isa 51:14 The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed,
        and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
Isa 51:15 But I [AM] the LORD Thy God, that divided the sea,
        whose waves roared: the LORD of Sabaoth [is] His name.
Isa 51:16 And I have put My words in Thy mouth, and have covered Thee in the shade of My hand,
        that I may plant the Heavens, and lay the foundations of the Earth,
        and say to Zion, Thou [are] My people.
Isa 51:17
        Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, which have drank at the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury;
        Thou have drank the dregs of the cup of trembling, [and] wrung [them] out.
Isa 51:18 [There is] none to guide her among all the sons [whom] she has brought forth;
        neither [is there any] that takes her by the hand of all the sons [that] she has brought up.
Isa 51:19 These two [things] have come to Thee; who shall be sorry for Thee?
        Desolation, and destruction, and famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort Thee?
Isa 51:20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net:
        they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of Thy God.
Isa 51:21 Therefore hear now this, Thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine.
Isa 51:22 Thus says Thy Lord, JeHoVaH Thy God [that] pleads the cause of His people,
        Behold, I have taken out of Thy hand the cup of trembling, the dregs of the cup of My fury;
        Thou shall no more drink it again:
Isa 51:23 but I shall put it into the hand of them that afflict Thee; who have said to Thy soul,
        Prostrate thyself, that we may go over: and Thou have laid Thy body as the ground,
        and as the street, to them that went over.
Isa 52:1
        Awake, awake, put on Thy strength, Zion; put on Thy beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the Holy City:
        for now on there shall no more come into Thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Isa 52:2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down,
        Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of Thy neck, captive Daughter of Zion.
Isa 52:3 For thus says the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for naught; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Isa 52:4 For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, My people went down formerly into Egypt to sojourn there;
        and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Isa 52:5 And now, what have I here, said the LORD, that My people is taken away for naught?
        They that rule over them make them to howl, said the LORD;
        and My name continually every day [is] blasphemed among the gentiles [through you], [Rom 2:24]
Isa 52:6 therefore My people shall know My name:
        therefore [they shall know] in that day that I [AM] He who does speak: Behold Me.
Isa 52:7 How comely upon the mountains are the feet of them that preach the <Gospel of Peace>,
        and preaching glad tidings of good [things], that publishes Salvation; that said to Zion, Thy God reigns! [Rom 10:15]
Isa 52:8 {Song of Watchmen}.
        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 back Zion.
Isa 52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
        ye waste places of Jerusalem:
        for the LORD has comforted His people,
        He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Isa 52:10 The LORD has 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.
Isa 52:11 Be separated, be separated,
        go ye out from thence, touch not the unclean; [2Co 6:17]
        go ye out of the middle of her; be ye clean,
        that bear the vessels of the LORD.
Isa 52:12 For ye shall not go out with haste,
        nor go by flight: for the LORD shall go before you;
        and the God of Israel [shall be] your rearward.

Isa 52:13 {Servant Song 4}.
        Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently, He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
Isa 52:14 As many were astonished at Thee; His appearance was so marred more than any man,
        and His form more than the sons of men:
Isa 52:15 so shall He sprinkle many nations;
        the kings shall shut their mouths at Him: for [that] which had not been told them,
        they shall see to whom He was not spoken of: and they that have not heard shall understand. [Rom 15:21]
Isa 53:1 LORD, who has believed our report?
        And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? [Joh 12:38]
Isa 53:2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:
        He has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him,
        [there is] no beauty that we should desire Him.
Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected by men;
        a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
        and we hid as it were [our] faces from Him;
        He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
Isa 53:4 Surely, He took the infirmities of us, and bore [our] diseases. [Mat 8:17]
        Yet we did esteem Him stricken,
        smitten by GOD, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But [He was] wounded for our transgression,
        He [was] crushed for our iniquities:
        the chastisement of our peace [was] upon Him;
        and by His wound ye were healed. [1Pe 2:24]
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
        we have turned every one to his own way;
        and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Isa 53:7 He was oppressed,
        and He was afflicted,
        He opened not His mouth; [Mat 27:12]
        He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
        and like a <Lamb> silent before His shearer,
        He opened not His mouth: [Mar 15:3-5 Act 8:32]
Isa 53:8 in His humiliation His judgment was taken away:
        and who shall declare His generation?
        For His life is taken from the Earth. [Act 8:33]
        For the transgression of My people was He stricken.
Isa 53:9 And He made His grave with the wicked,
        and with the rich in His death:
        because He <committed no sin>,
        neither was guile found in His mouth. [1Pe 2:22]
Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him;
        He has put Him to grief:
        when Thou shall 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.
Isa 53:11 He shall see Light 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.
Isa 53:12 Therefore I shall divide to Him [a portion] with the great,
        and He shall divide the spoil with the strong;
        because He has poured out His soul to death:
        and He was counted with transgressors; [Mar 15:28 Luk 22:37]
        and <He bore the sins of many>,
        and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isa 54:1 Rejoice, [Thou] barren that bears not;
        break forth and cry, Thou that travail not:
        for the desolate has many more children,
        than she who has a husband, [Gal 4:27]
        said the LORD.

Isa 54:2 Enlarge the place of Thy tent, and let them extend the curtains of Thy habitations:
        spare not, lengthen Thy cords, and strengthen Thy stakes;
Isa 54:3 for Thou shall 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.
Isa 54:4 Fear not; for Thou shall not be ashamed: neither be Thou confounded;
        for Thou shall not be put to shame; for Thou shall forget the shame of Thy youth,
        and shall not remember the reproach of Thy widowhood any more.
Isa 54:5 For Thy Maker [is] Thy husband; the LORD of Sabaoth [is] His name;
        and Thy Redeemer the Holy [One] of Israel;
        The God of all the Earth shall He be called.
Isa 54:6 For the LORD has called Thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth,
        when Thou were refused, said Thy God.
Isa 54:7 For a small moment have I forsaken Thee; but with great mercies shall I gather Thee.
Isa 54:8 In a little wrath I hid My face from Thee for a moment;
        but with everlasting kindness shall I have mercy on Thee, said the LORD Thy Redeemer.
Isa 54:9
        For this [is as] the waters of Noah to Me:
        for [as] I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more overflow the Earth;
        so have I sworn that I shall not be wroth with Thee, nor rebuke Thee.
Isa 54:10 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, said the LORD that has mercy on Thee.
Isa 54:11 Thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, [and] not comforted,
        behold, I shall lay Thy stones with glittering, and lay Thy foundations with sapphires.
Isa 54:12 And I shall make Thy windows of agates, and Thy gates of carbuncle stones, and all Thy borders of pleasant stones.
Isa 54:13 And all Thy sons; they shall be all taught from GOD; and great [shall be] the peace of Thy sons. [Joh 6:45]
Isa 54:14 In righteousness shall Thou be established: Thou shall be far from oppression;
        for Thou shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near Thee.
Isa 54:15 Behold, they shall surely assemble [but] not by Me: whoever shall assemble against Thee shall fall for Thy sake.
Isa 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work;
        and I have created the waster to destroy.
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against Thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against Thee in judgment Thou shall condemn.
        This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] from me, said the LORD.
Isa 55:1
        Ho, every one that thirsts, come ye to the waters, and he who has no money;
        come ye, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Isa 55:2 Why do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? And your labour for [that which] satisfies not?
        Listen diligently to Me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Isa 55:3 Incline your ear, and come to Me: hear, and your soul shall live;
        and I shall make an <Everlasting Covenant> with you,
        [I shall give you] the faithful mercies of David. [Act 13:34]
Isa 55:4 Behold, I have given Him [for] a witness to the peoples, a ruler and commander to the peoples.
Isa 55:5 Behold, Thou shall call a nation [that] Thou know not, and nations [that] knew not Thee shall run to Thee because of the LORD Thy God,
        and for the Holy [One] of Israel, for He has glorified Thee.

        and He shall have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He shall abundantly pardon.
Isa 55:8
        For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts,
        neither [are] your ways My ways, said the LORD.
Isa 55:9 For [as] the Heavens are higher than the Earth,
        so are My ways higher than your ways,
        and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isa 55:10
        For as the rain comes down, and the snow from Heaven,
        and returns not there, but waters the Earth,
        and makes it bring forth and bud,
        that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Isa 55:11 so shall My word be that proceeds from My mouth:
        it shall not return to Me void,
        but it shall accomplish that which I please,
        and it shall prosper [in the thing] for which I sent it.
Isa 55:12
        For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains,
        and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,
        and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.
Isa 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree,
        and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree:
        and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.

Isa 56:1 Thus says the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice:
        for My Salvation [is] near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.
Isa 56:2 Blessed [is] the man [that] does this, and a son of man [that] lays hold on it;
         that keeps the Sabbath from profaning it,
        and keeps his hand from doing any evil!
Isa 56:3 And let not the stranger speak, that has joined himself to the LORD,
        saying, The LORD has utterly separated me from His people.
         And let not the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] a dry tree.
Isa 56:4 For thus says the LORD to the eunuchs that keep My Sabbaths,
        and choose [the things] that please Me, and take hold of My Covenant;
Isa 56:5 even to them I shall give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters:
        I shall give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Isa 56:6 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 keeps the Sabbath from profaning it,
        and takes hold of My Covenant;
Isa 56:7 even them shall I bring to My Holy Mount, and make them joyful in My house of prayer:
        their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [shall be] accepted upon My Altar;
        for My house shall be called a House of Prayer by all nations. [Mar 11:17]
Isa 56:8 The Lord JeHoVaH who gathers the outcasts of Israel,
        Yet shall I gather [others] to him, besides those that are gathered to him.

Isa 56:9 All ye animals of the field, come to devour, yes, all ye animals in the forest.
Isa 56:10 His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they [are] all dumb dogs,
        they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Isa 56:11 And the dogs [are] strong [desire of] soul [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 end.
Isa 56:12 Come ye, [say they], I shall bring wine, and we shall fill ourselves with shekar{strong drink};
        and tomorrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.
Isa 57:1
        The righteous perishes, and no man lays [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away,
        none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
Isa 57:2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
Isa 57:3 But draw near here, ye sons of the [female] observer of clouds, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
Isa 57:4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] thrust out the tongue?
        [Are] ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
Isa 57:5 inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree,
        slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
Isa 57:6 Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] Thy portion;
        they, they [are] Thy lot: even to them have Thou poured a drink-offering,
        Thou have offered a food-offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
Isa 57:7 Upon a lofty and high mountain have Thou set Thy bed: even there Thou went up to offer sacrifice.
Isa 57:8 Behind the doors also and the posts have Thou set up Thy remembrance: for Thou have uncovered [thyself to another] than Me,
        and have gone up; Thou have enlarged Thy bed, and made Thee [a Covenant] with them;
        Thou loved their bed where Thou saw [it].
Isa 57:9 And Thou went to the king with ointment, and did increase Thy perfumes,
        and did send Thy ambassadors far off, and did debase [thyself even] to Sheol.
Isa 57:10 Thou are wearied in the greatness of Thy way; [yet] said Thou not,
        There is no hope: Thou have found the life of Thy hand; therefore Thou were not grieved.
Isa 57:11 And of whom have Thou been afraid or feared, that Thou have lied, and have not remembered Me,
        nor laid [it] to Thy heart? Have not I held My peace even of old, and Thou fear me not?
Isa 57:12 I shall declare Thy righteousness, and Thy works; for they shall not profit Thee.
Isa 57:13
        When Thou cry, let Thy companies deliver Thee; but the wind shall carry them all away;
        vanity shall take [them]: but he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My Holy Mount;
Isa 57:14 and shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of My people.
Isa 57:15 For thus says the High and Lofty [One] that inhabit 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.
Isa 57:16 For I shall not contend forever, neither shall I be always wroth: for the spirit would fail before Me, and the breaths [which] I have made.
Isa 57:17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth, and smote him: I hid Me, and was wroth, and he went on forwardly in the way of his heart.
Isa 57:18 I have seen his ways, and shall heal him: I shall lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Isa 57:19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him [that is] far off, and to him [that is] near, said the LORD; and I shall heal him.
Isa 57:20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Isa 57:21 [There is] no peace, said my God, to the wicked.

Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up Thy voice like a shofar,
        and show My people their transgression, and the House of Jacob their sins.
Isa 58:2 Yet they seek Me day by day, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness,
        and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice;
        they take delight in approaching to GOD.
Isa 58:3 Why have we fasted, [say they], and Thou see not?
        [Why] have we afflicted our soul, and Thou take no knowledge?
        Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
Isa 58:4 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.
Isa 58:5 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]?
        Will Thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Isa 58:6 [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen?
        To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke,
        and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isa 58:7 [Is it] not to deal Thy bread to the hungry, and that Thou should bring the poor that are cast out to Thy house?
        When Thou see the naked, that Thou should cover him; and that Thou should not hide thyself from Thy own flesh?
Isa 58:8 Then shall Thy light break forth as the morning, and Thy health shall spring forth speedily:
        and Thy righteousness shall go before Thee; the glory of the LORD shall be Thy rearward.
Isa 58:9 Then shall Thou call, and the LORD shall answer; Thou shall cry, and He shall say,
        Behold Me. If Thou shall take away from the middle of Thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Isa 58:10 and [if] Thou shall 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 noon.
Isa 58:11 And the LORD shall guide Thee continually, and satisfy Thy soul in drought, and make fat Thy bones:
        and Thou shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Isa 58:12 And [they that shall be] of Thee shall build the old waste places: Thou shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
        and Thou shall be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.
Isa 58:13 If Thou shall turn away Thy foot from the Sabbath, [from] doing Thy pleasure on My Holy day;
        and call the Sabbath a delight, the Holy of the LORD, honourable; and shall honour Him, not doing Thy own ways,
        nor finding Thy own pleasure, nor speaking Thy [own] words:
Isa 58:14 then shall Thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I shall 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 has spoken.

Isa 59:1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;
        neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Isa 59:2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
        and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that He shall not hear.
Isa 59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood,
        and your fingers with iniquity;
        your lips have spoken lies,
        your tongue has uttered perverseness.
Isa 59:4 None calls for justice,
        nor [any] pleads for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies;
        they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Isa 59:5 They hatch cobra eggs,
        and weave the spider's web: He who eats of their eggs dies,
        and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
Isa 59:6 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.
Isa 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make swift to shed innocent blood: [Rom 3:15]
        their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity;
        Destruction and misery [are] in their ways. [Rom 3:16]
Isa 59:8 And [the] way of peace have they not known; [Rom 3:17]
        and [there is] no judgment in their goings:
        they have made them crooked paths:
        whoever goes in it shall not know peace.
Isa 59:9
        Therefore is judgment far from us, neither does justice overtake us:
        we wait for light, but behold obscurity;
        for brightness, [but] we walk in darkness.
Isa 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind,
        and we grope as if [we had] no eyes:
        we stumble at noon as in the twilight;
        [we are] in desolate places as dead [men].
Isa 59:11 We all roar like bears, and mourn bitterly like doves:
        we look for judgment, but [there is] none; for Salvation,
        [but] it is far from us.
Isa 59:12 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;
Isa 59:13 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.
Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward,
        and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street,
        and equity cannot enter.
Isa 59:15
        And the truth fails; and he [that] departs from evil makes himself a prey:
        and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased Him that [there was] no judgment.
Isa 59:16 And he saw that [there was] no man, and wondered that [there was] no intercessor:
        therefore His arm brought Salvation to Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him.
Isa 59:17 For He put on Righteousness as a Breast-plate,
        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.
Isa 59:18 According to [their] deeds, accordingly He shall repay, fury to His adversaries,
        recompense to His enemies; to the isles He shall repay recompense.
Isa 59:19
        So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun.
        When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
Isa 59:20 There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away impiety from Jacob: said the LORD. [Rom 11:26]
Isa 59:21 For this [is] My Covenant to them, said the LORD; [Rom 11:27]
        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, said the LORD,
        from henceforth and forever.

Isa 60:1 Arise, shine; for Thy Light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon Thee.

Isa 60:5 Then Thou shall see, and flow together, and Thy heart shall fear,
        and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted to Thee,
        the forces of the gentiles shall come to Thee.
Isa 60:6 The multitude of camels shall cover Thee,
        the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come:
        they shall bring gold and frankincense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD.
Isa 60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to Thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to Thee:
        they shall come up with acceptance on My Altar, and I shall glorify the house of My glory.
Isa 60:8
        Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as doves to their windows?
Isa 60:9 Surely, the isles shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first,
        to bring Thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them,
        to the name of the LORD Thy God,
        and to the Holy [One] of Israel, because He has glorified Thee.
Isa 60:10 And the strangers shall build up Thy walls, and their kings shall minister to Thee:
        for in My wrath I smote Thee, but in My favour have I had mercy on Thee.
Isa 60:11 Therefore Thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night;
        that [men] may bring to Thee the forces of the gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought.
Isa 60:12 For the nation and kingdom that shall not serve Thee shall perish; yes, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.
Isa 60:13 The glory of Lebanon shall come to Thee, the fir-tree, the pine, and the box together,
        to beautify the place of My Sanctuary; and I shall make the place of My feet glorious.
Isa 60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted Thee shall come bending to Thee;
        and all they that despised Thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of Thy feet;
        and they shall call Thee, the city of the LORD, the Zion of the Holy [One] of Israel.
Isa 60:15 Whereas Thou have been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through [Thee],
        I shall make Thee an everlasting excellence, a joy from generation to generation.
Isa 60:16 And Thou shall suck the milk of the gentiles, and shall suck the breast of kings:
        and Thou shall know that I the LORD [AM] Thy Saviour and Thy Redeemer, the Mighty of Jacob.
Isa 60:17
        For bronze I shall bring gold, and for iron I shall bring silver, and for wood copper, and for stones iron:
        I shall also make Thy officers peace, and Thy exactors righteousness.
Isa 60:18 Violence shall no more be heard in Thy land, wasting nor destruction within Thy borders;
        but Thou shall call Thy walls Salvation, and Thy gates Praise.
Isa 60:19 The sun shall be no more Thy light by day;
        neither for brightness shall the moon give light to Thee:
        but the LORD shall be to Thee an everlasting Light,
        and Thy God [for] Thy glory.
Isa 60:20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall Thy moon withdraw itself:
        for the LORD shall be Thy everlasting Light,
        and the days of Thy mourning shall be ended.
Isa 60:21 Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land forever,
        the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.
Isa 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation:
        I the LORD shall hasten it in its time.

Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord JeHoVaH [is] upon Me,
        because He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor;
        He has sent Me to heal the broken of heart,
        to preach deliverance to the captives,
        and recovering of sight to the blind,
        to set in deliverance them that are bruised; [Luk 4:18]
        (and the opening of the prison to the bound);
Isa 61:2 to preach the acceptable Year of the LORD, [Luk 4:19]
        and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Isa 61:3 to grant to the mourners of Zion,
        to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,
        the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness,
        the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
Isa 61:4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations,
        and they shall renew the waste cities, the desolations from generation to generation.
Isa 61:5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
        and the sons of the alien [shall be] your husbandmen and your vine-dressers.
Isa 61:6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: [men] shall call you the Ministers of our God:
        ye shall eat the riches of the gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
Isa 61:7 For your shame [ye shall have] double; and [for] confusion they shall rejoice in their portion:
        therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be to them.
Isa 61:8
        For I the LORD love justice, I hate robbery for burnt-offering; and I shall direct their work in truth,
        and I shall make an Everlasting Covenant with them.
Isa 61:9 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 has blessed.
Isa 61:10
        I shall greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God;
        for He has clothed me with the Garments of Salvation,
        He has covered me with the Robe of Righteousness,
        as a Bridegroom decks [Himself] with ornaments,
        and as a bride adorns [herself] with her jewels.
Isa 61:11 For as the Earth brings forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth;
        so the Lord JeHoVaH shall cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isa 62:1 For Zion's sake I shall not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I shall not rest,
        until its righteousness shall go forth as brightness, and its Salvation as a lamp [that] burns.

        and Thou shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Isa 62:3 And Thou shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal turban in the hand of Thy God.
Isa 62:4 Thou shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall Thy land any more be termed Desolate:
        but Thou shall be called Hephzi-bah{Hephzibah}, and Thy land Beulah{Married}:
        for the LORD delights in Thee, and Thy land shall be married.
Isa 62:5 For [as] a young man marries a virgin, [so] shall Thy sons marry Thee:
        and [as] the Bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
        [so] shall Thy God rejoice over Thee.
Isa 62:6 I have set watchmen upon Thy walls, Jerusalem,
        [which] shall never hold their peace day nor night:
        ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
Isa 62:7 and give Him no rest, until He shall establish,
        and until He shall make Jerusalem a praise in the Earth.
Isa 62:8 The LORD has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength,
        Surely, I shall no more give Thy grain [to be] food for Thy enemies;
        and the strangers shall not drink Thy new wine,
        for which Thou have laboured:
Isa 62:9 but they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD;
        and they that have collected it shall drink it in the courts of My Holiness.
Isa 62:10 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.
Isa 62:11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the Earth, Tell ye the Daughter of Zion,
        Behold, Thy Salvation comes; Behold, His reward [is] with Him, and His work before Him. [Mat 21:5]
Isa 62:12 And they shall call them, The Holy people{Saints}, the redeemed of the LORD:
        and Thou shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Isa 63:1 Who [is] this that comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
        This [that is] glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength?
        I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Isa 63:2 Why [are Thou] red in Thy apparel, and Thy garments like him that treads in the winepress?
Isa 63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people [there was] none with Me:
        for I shall tread them in My anger, and trample them in My fury,
        and their juice{blood} shall be sprinkled upon My garments, and I shall stain all My clothing.
Isa 63:4 For the day of vengeance [is] in My heart, and the year of My redeemed is come.
Isa 63:5 And I looked, and [there was] none to help; and I wondered that [there was] none to uphold:
        therefore My own arm brought Salvation to Me; and My fury, it upheld Me.
Isa 63:6 And I shall tread down the people in My anger, and make them drunk in My fury,
        and I shall bring down their juice{blood} to the Earth.
Isa 63:7
        I shall mention the kindnesses of the LORD, [and] the praises of the LORD,
        according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the great goodness towards the House of Israel,
        which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies, and according to the multitude of His kindnesses.
Isa 63:8 For He said, Surely, they [are] My people, sons [that] shall not lie: so He was their Saviour.
Isa 63:9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His presence saved them: in His love,
        and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
Isa 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed His Holy Spirit:
        therefore He was turned to be their enemy, [and] He fought against them.
Isa 63:11 And He remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] His people.
        Where [is] He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock?
        Where [is] He who putting His Holy Spirit within him?
Isa 63:12 That led [them] by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm,
        dividing the water before them, to make Himself an everlasting name?
Isa 63:13 That led them through the Abyss, as a horse in the wilderness, [that] they should not stumble?
Isa 63:14 As a beast goes down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest:
        so did Thou lead Thy people, to make Thyself a glorious name.
Isa 63:15 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 towards me?
        Are they restrained?
Isa 63:16 Doubtless Thou [are] our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not:
        Thou, LORD, [are] our Father, our Redeemer; Thy name [is] from everlasting.
Isa 63:17 LORD, why have Thou wander us from Thy ways, [and] hardened our heart from Thy fear?
        Return for Thy servants' sake, the tribes of Thy inheritance.
Isa 63:18 The people of Thy Holiness have possessed [it] but a little while:
        our adversaries have trodden down Thy Sanctuary.
Isa 63:19 We have been from old: Thou never did bear rule over them; they were not called by Thy name;
Isa 64:1 that Thou would rend the Heavens,
        that Thou would come down, that the mountains might flow down at Thy presence,
Isa 64:2 [as when] the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil,
        to make Thy name known to Thy adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at Thy presence!
Isa 64:3 When Thou did awesome things [which] we looked not for,
        Thou came down, the mountains flowed down at Thy presence.
Isa 64:4 For since the beginning of the World:
        the Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
        neither came it up into the heart of man,
        the things which GOD has prepared for them that loving Him. [1Co 2:9]
Isa 64:5 Thou meet him that rejoices, and works righteousness, [those that] remember Thee in Thy ways:
        behold, Thou are wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
Isa 64:6 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.
Isa 64:7 And [there is] none that calling upon Thy name, that stirs up himself to take hold of Thee:
        for Thou have hid Thy face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
Isa 64:8 But now, LORD, Thou [are] our Father; we [are] the clay,
        and Thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of Thy hand.
Isa 64:9 Be not very wroth, LORD, neither remember iniquity forever:
        behold, see, we beseech Thee, we [are] all Thy people.
Isa 64:10 Thy Holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Isa 64:11 Our Holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised Thee,
        is burned with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
Isa 64:12 Will Thou refrain Thyself for these [things], LORD?
          Will Thou hold Thy peace, and grievously afflict us?

Isa 65:1 I was found by them that not seeking for Me;
         I became manifest [to them that] not asking for Me. [Rom 10:20]
         I said, Behold Me, behold Me, to a nation [that] was not called by My name.
Isa 65:2 All day long I have stretched forth My hands to disobeying and contradicting people, [Rom 10:21]
        which walks in a way [that is] not good, after their own thoughts;
Isa 65:3 a people that provokes Me to anger continually to My face;
        that sacrifices in gardens, and burns incense upon Altars of brick;
Isa 65:4 which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments,
        which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable [things is in] their vessels;
Isa 65:5 which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to Me; for I [AM] holier than Thou.
        These [are] a smoke in My nose, a fire that burns all the day.
Isa 65:6 Behold, [it is] written before Me: I shall not keep silence,
        but shall recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
Isa 65:7 your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, said the LORD,
        who have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed Me upon the hills:
        therefore shall I measure their former work into their bosom.
Isa 65:8
        Thus says the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and [one] said, Destroy it not;
        for a blessing [is] in it: so I shall do for My servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.
Isa 65:9 And I shall bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of My mountains:
        and My elects shall inherit it, and My servants shall dwell there.
Isa 65:10 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.
Isa 65:11 But ye [are] they that forsaking the LORD, who are forgetting My Holy Mount,
        that preparing a table for Gad{triumph}, and that furnishing the drink-offering to Meni{number}.
Isa 65:12 Therefore shall I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter:
        because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spoke, ye did not hear;
        and did evil before My eyes, and did choose [that] in which I delighted not.
Isa 65:13 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        behold, My servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry:
        behold, My servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty:
        behold, My servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
Isa 65:14 behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart,
        and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
Isa 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse to My chosen:
        for the Lord JeHoVaH shall slay Thee, and call His servants by another name:
Isa 65:16 that he who blesses himself in the Earth shall bless himself in the Amen{Truly} God;
        and he who swears in the Earth shall swear by the Amen{Truly} God;
        because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from My eyes.
Isa 65:17 For behold, I creating New Heavens and a New Earth:
        and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into [the] heart.
Isa 65:18 But be ye glad and rejoice forever [in that] which I create:
        for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
Isa 65:19 And I shall 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.
Isa 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days,
        nor an old man that has not filled his days:
        for the child shall die a hundred years old:
        but the sinner [being] a hundred years old shall be accursed.
Isa 65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit [them];
        and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Isa 65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit;
        they shall not plant, and another eat:
        for as the days of a tree [are] the days of My people,
        and My elects shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Isa 65:23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble;
        for they [are] the seed of the blessed of the LORD,
        and their offspring with them.
Isa 65:24 And it shall be, that before they call, I shall answer;
        and while they are yet speaking, I shall hear.
Isa 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
        and the lion shall eat straw like the bull:
        and dust [shall be] the serpents' food.
        They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My Holy Mount,
        said the LORD.

Isa 66:1 The Heaven [is] My throne, and the Earth [is] My stool of My feet:
        What house shall ye build for Me? Says the LORD: or what [is] the place of My rest? [Act 7:49]
Isa 66:2 Has not My hand made all these [things]? And all these [things] have been, said the LORD:
        but to this man [shall] I look, to him [that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at My word. [Act 7:50]
Isa 66:3 He who kills an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he who sacrifices a lamb,
        [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he who offers an oblation,
        [as if he offered] swine's blood; he who burns frankincense,
        [as if] he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways,
        and their soul delights in their abominations.
Isa 66:4 I also shall choose their delusions, and shall bring their fears upon them;
        because when I called, [was there] none answering; when I spoke, they did not hear:
        and they did evil before My eyes, and chose [that] in which I delighted not.
Isa 66:5 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.
Isa 66:6
        A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the Temple,
        a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to His enemies.
Isa 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came,
        she was delivered of a male-child.
Isa 66:8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
        Shall the Earth be made to bring forth in one day? Shall a nation be born at once?
        For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.
Isa 66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? Said the LORD.
         Shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? Said Thy God.
Isa 66:10
        Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her:
        rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
Isa 66:11 that ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations;
        that ye may draw milk, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
Isa 66:12 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I shall extend peace to her like a river,
        and the glory of the gentiles like a flowing stream:
        then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon [her] sides,
        and be dandled upon [her] knees.
Isa 66:13 As one whom his mother comforts, so shall I comfort you;
        and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Isa 66:14 And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice,
        and your bones shall flourish like grass:
        and the hand of the LORD shall be known towards His servants,
        and [His] indignation towards His enemies.
Isa 66:15 For behold, the LORD shall come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind,
        to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.
Isa 66:16 For by fire and by His sword shall the LORD plead with all flesh:
        and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
Isa 66:17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the middle,
        eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, said the LORD.
Isa 66:18
        For I [know] their works and their thoughts:
        it shall come, that I shall gather all nations and tongues;
        and they shall come, and see My glory.
Isa 66:19 And I shall set a sign among them, and I shall send those that escape of them to the nations,
        [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off,
        that have not heard My fame, neither have seen My glory;
        and they shall declare My glory among the gentiles.
Isa 66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering to the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots,
        and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to My Holy Mount Jerusalem,
        said the LORD, as the sons of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the House of the LORD.
Isa 66:21 And also, I shall take of them for priests [and] for Levites, said the LORD.
Isa 66:22 For as the <New Heavens and the New Earth>,
        which I shall make, shall remain before Me, said the LORD,
        so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall be, [that] from New Moon to New Moon,
        and from Sabbath to Sabbath,
        shall all flesh come to worship before Me, said the LORD.
Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against Me:
        for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh. [Mar 9:44]

Jer 1:1 [Scroll 09 Jeremiah].
        The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah,
        of the priests that [were] in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Jer 1:2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah,
        in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Jer 1:3 And it came to pass in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
        to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah,
        to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

Jer 1:4 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Jer 1:5 Before I formed Thee in the belly, even before Thou came out of the womb I sanctified Thee,
        [and] I ordained Thee a prophet to the nations.
Jer 1:6 Then I said, Ah! Lord JeHoVaH! Behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
Jer 1:7 But the LORD said to me, Say not, I [am] a child: for Thou shall go to all that I shall send Thee,
        and whatever I command Thee Thou shall speak.
Jer 1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with Thee to deliver Thee, said the LORD.
Jer 1:9 And the LORD put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me,
        Behold, I have put My words in Thy mouth.
Jer 1:10 See, I have this day set Thee over the nations and over the kingdoms,
        to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Jer 1:11
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
        Jeremiah, what see Thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
Jer 1:12 And the LORD said to me, Thou have well seen: for I watching over My word to perform it.
Jer 1:13 Then came the word of the LORD to me the second time, saying,
        What see Thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and its face [is] from the north.
Jer 1:14 And the LORD said to me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Jer 1:15 For behold, I shall call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, said the LORD; and they shall come,
        and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,
        and against all its walls around, and against all the cities of Judah.
Jer 1:16 And I shall utter My Judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken Me,
        and have burned incense to other GODS, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Jer 1:17 Thou therefore gird up Thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command Thee:
        be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound Thee before them.
Jer 1:18 For behold, I have made Thee this day a fortified city,
        and an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land,
        against the kings of Judah, against her princes, against her priests,
        and against the people of the land.
Jer 1:19 And they shall fight against Thee; but they shall not prevail against Thee;
        for I [AM] with Thee, said the LORD, to deliver Thee.

Jer 2:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Jer 2:2 Go, and preach in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD;
        I have remembered Thee, the kindness of Thy youth, the love of Thy espousals,
        when Thou went after me in the wilderness,
        in a land [that was] not sown.
Jer 2:3 Israel [was] Holiness to the LORD, [and] the first-fruit of His increase:
        all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, said the LORD.
Jer 2:4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, House of Jacob,
        and all the families of the House of Israel.
Jer 2:5 Thus says the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in Me,
        that they have gone far from Me,
        and have walked after vanity,
        and have become vain?
Jer 2:6 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 shades of death,
        through a land that no man passed through,
        and where no man dwelt?
Jer 2:7 And I brought you into a plentiful country,
        to eat the fruit of it,
        and the goodness of it;
        but when ye entered, ye defiled My land,
        and made My heritage an abomination.
Jer 2:8 The priests said not, Where [is] the LORD?
        And they that handle the Law knew Me not:
        the shepherds also transgressed against Me,
        and the prophets prophesied by Baal,
        and walked after [things that] do not profit.
Jer 2:9 Therefore I shall yet plead with you, said the LORD,
        and with your sons of sons shall I plead.
Jer 2:10
        For pass over the isles of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar,
        and consider diligently, and see if there is such a thing.
Jer 2:11 Has a nation changed [their] GODS, which [are] yet no GODS?
        But My people have changed their glory for [that which] does not profit.
Jer 2:12 Be astonished, ye Heavens, at this, and be afraid, be ye very desolate, said the LORD.

Jer 2:13 For My people have committed two evil things;
        they have forsaken Me the fountain of Living Water,
        [and] hewed out for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jer 2:14
        [Is] Israel a servant? [Is] he a home-born? Why is he become a spoil?
Jer 2:15 The young lions roared upon him, [and] gave out their voice, and they made his land waste:
        his cities are burned without inhabitant.
Jer 2:16 Also the sons of Noph and Tahpanhes have devoured the crown of Thy head.
Jer 2:17 Have Thou not procured this to thyself in that Thou have forsaken the LORD Thy God,
        when He led Thee by the way?
Jer 2:18 And now what have Thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor?
        Or what have Thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
Jer 2:19 Thy own wickedness shall correct Thee, and Thy backslidings shall reprove Thee:
        know therefore and see that [it is] an evil [thing] and bitter, that Thou have forsaken the LORD Thy God,
        and that My fear [is] not in Thee, says the Lord JeHoVaH of Sabaoth.
Jer 2:20 For of old time I have broken Thy yoke, [and] burst Thy bands; and Thou said, I shall not transgress;
        when upon every high hill and under every green tree Thou wander, playing the whore.
Jer 2:21 Yet I had planted Thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed:
        how then are Thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine to me?
Jer 2:22 For though Thou shall wash Thee with nitre, and take Thee much soap,
        [yet] Thy iniquity is marked before Me, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Jer 2:23
        How can Thou say, I [am] not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim?
        See Thy way in the valley, know what Thou have done:
        Thou [are] a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
Jer 2:24 a wild ass used to the wilderness, [that] snuffs up the wind at desire of her soul;
        in her occasion who can turn her away?
        All they that seek her shall not weary themselves;
        in her month they shall find her.
Jer 2:25 Withhold Thy foot from being unshod, and Thy throat from thirst:
        but Thou said, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them shall I go.
Jer 2:26 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,
Jer 2:27 saying to a stock, Thou [are] my father; and to a stone, Thou have brought me forth:
        for they have turned [their] back to Me, and not [their] face:
        but in the time of their trouble they shall say, Arise, and save us.
Jer 2:28 But where [are] Thy gods that Thou have made for thyself?
        Let them arise, if they can save Thee in the time of Thy trouble:
        for [according to] the number of Thy cities are Thy gods, Judah.
Jer 2:29 Why shall ye plead with me? Ye all have transgressed against me, said the LORD.
Jer 2:30
        In vain have I smitten your sons; they have received no correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Jer 2:31 Generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? A land of darkness?
        Why say My people, We are lords; we shall come no more to Thee?
Jer 2:32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, [or] a bride her attire?
        Yet My people have forgotten me days without number.
Jer 2:33 Why trimmest Thou Thy way to seek love? Therefore have Thou also taught the wicked ones Thy ways.
Jer 2:34 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.
Jer 2:35 Yet Thou say, Because I [am] innocent, surely His anger shall turn from me.
        Behold, I shall plead with Thee, because Thou say, I have not sinned.
Jer 2:36 Why do Thou go about so much to change Thy way?
        Thou also shall be ashamed of Egypt, as Thou were ashamed of Assyria.
Jer 2:37 Yes, Thou shall go forth from him, and Thy hands upon Thy head:
        for the LORD has rejected Thy confidences, and Thou shall not prosper in them.

Jer 3:1 Saying, If a man shall put away his wife, and she shall go from him,
        and become another man's, shall he return to her again?
        Shall not that land be greatly polluted?
        But Thou have played the whore with many lovers; yet return back to Me,
        said the LORD.
Jer 3:2 Lift up Thy eyes to the high places, and see where Thou have not been lain with. In the ways have Thou sat for them,
        as the Arabian in the wilderness; and Thou have polluted the land with Thy whoredoms,
        and with Thy wickedness.
Jer 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no Latter Rain?
        And Thou had a whore's forehead, Thou refused to be ashamed.
Jer 3:4 Will Thou not from now on cry to me, My Father, Thou [are] the guide of my youth?
Jer 3:5 Will he retain [his anger] forever? Will he keep [it] to the end?
        Behold, Thou have spoken and done evil things as Thou could.

Jer 3:6 And the LORD said also to me in the days of Josiah the king,
        Have Thou seen [that] which backsliding Israel has done?
        She has gone up upon every high mountain, and under every green tree, and there has played the whore.
Jer 3:7 And I said after she had done all these [things], Turn Thou to me.
        But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw [it].
Jer 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes by which backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away,
        and given her a writing of divorcement; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the whore also.
Jer 3:9
        And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom,
        that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Jer 3:10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to me with her whole heart, but feignedly, said the LORD.
Jer 3:11
        And the LORD said to me, The backsliding Israel has justified her soul more than treacherous Judah.
Jer 3:12 Go and proclaim these words towards the north, and say, Return, Thou backsliding Israel, said the LORD;
        [and] I shall not cause My anger to fall upon you: for I [AM] merciful, said the LORD,
        [and] I shall not keep [anger] forever.
Jer 3:13 Only acknowledge Thy iniquity, that Thou have transgressed against the LORD Thy God,
        and have scattered Thy ways to the strangers under every green tree,
        and ye have not obeyed My voice, said the LORD.

Jer 3:14 Return, ye backsliding sons, said the LORD; for I [AM] married to you:
        and I shall take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I shall bring you to Zion:
Jer 3:15 And I shall give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Jer 3:16 And it shall be, when ye shall be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, said the LORD,
        they shall say no more, The Ark of the Covenant of the LORD:
        neither shall it come to [the] heart: neither shall they remember it;
        neither shall they visit [it]; neither shall [that] be done any more.
Jer 3:17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD;
        and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem;
        neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
Jer 3:18
        In those days the House of Judah shall walk with the House of Israel,
        and they shall come together from the land of the north to the land,
        that I have given for an inheritance to your fathers.
Jer 3:19 But I said, How shall I put Thee among the sons, and give Thee a pleasant land,
        a goodly heritage of the armies of nations?
        And I said, Thou shall call Me, my Father; and shall not turn away from Me.
Jer 3:20 Surely, [as] a wife treacherously departs from her husband,
        so have ye dealt treacherously with me, House of Israel, said the LORD.
Jer 3:21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping [and] supplications of the sons of Israel:
        for they have perverted their way, [and] they have forgotten the LORD their God.
Jer 3:22 Return, ye backsliding sons, [and] I shall heal your backslidings.
        Behold, we come to Thee; for Thou [are] the LORD our God.
Jer 3:23 Truly in vain [is Salvation hoped for] from the hills, [and from] the multitude of mountains:
        truly in the LORD our God [is] the Salvation of Israel.
Jer 3:24 For shame has devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth;
        their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Jer 3:25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God,
        we and our fathers, from our youth until this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
Jer 4:1
        If Thou shall return, Israel, said the LORD, return to Me:
        and if Thou shall put away Thy abominations out of My sight, then shall Thou not remove.
Jer 4:2 And Thou shall swear, The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness;
        and the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him shall they glory.
Jer 4:3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem,
        Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Jer 4:4 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.
Jer 4:5
        Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say,
        Blow ye the shofar in the land: cry, Gather together, and say,
        Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.
Jer 4:6 Set up the standard towards Zion: refuge, stay not:
        for I shall bring calamity from the north, and a great destruction.
Jer 4:7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the gentiles is departed;
        he is gone forth from his place to make Thy land desolate;
        Thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
Jer 4:8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl;
        for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
Jer 4:9 And it shall be at that day, said 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.
Jer 4:10
        Then I said, Ah! Lord JeHoVaH! Surely, Thou have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem,
        saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reaches to the soul.
Jer 4:11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem,
        A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness towards the daughter of My people,
        not to fan, nor to cleanse,
Jer 4:12 a full wind from those [places] shall come to me: now also I shall give sentence against them.
Jer 4:13 Behold, He shall come up as clouds, and His chariots [shall be] as a whirlwind:
        His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For we are laid waste.
Jer 4:14 Jerusalem, wash Thy heart from wickedness, that Thou may be saved.
        Until when shall Thy vain thoughts lodge within Thee?
Jer 4:15 For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes affliction from Mount Ephraim.
Jer 4:16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem,
        [that] besiegers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Jer 4:17 As keepers of a field they are against her on all sides;
        because she has been rebellious against me, said the LORD.
Jer 4:18
        Thy way and Thy doings have procured these [things] to Thee; this [is] Thy wickedness,
        because it is bitter, because it reaches to Thy heart.
Jer 4:19 My bowels, my bowels! I [am] pained at my very heart;
        my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace,
        because Thou have heard, my soul, the voice of the shofar, the alarm of war.
Jer 4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste;
        suddenly are my tents ruined, [and] my curtains in a moment.
Jer 4:21 Until when shall I see the standard, [and] hear the voice of the shofar?
Jer 4:22 For My people [are] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] foolish sons,
        and they have no understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jer 4:23 I beheld the Earth, and behold, [it was] without form, and void; and the Heavens, and they [had] no light.
Jer 4:24 I beheld the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved themselves lightly.
Jer 4:25 I beheld, and behold, [there was] no man, and all the fowls of the air had fled.
Jer 4:26 I beheld, and behold, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by His fierce anger.
Jer 4:27
        For thus has the LORD said,
        The whole land shall be desolate; yet shall I not make a full end.
Jer 4:28 For this shall the Earth mourn, and the Heavens above be black:
        because I have spoken [it], I have purposed [it],
        and shall not repent, neither shall I turn back from it.
Jer 4:29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen;
        they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the stones:
        every city [shall be] forsaken, and not a man dwell in it.
Jer 4:30 And [when] Thou [are] laid waste, what shall Thou do?
        Though Thou clothe thyself with scarlet, though Thou deck Thee with ornaments of gold,
        though Thou rend Thy eyes with painting, in vain shall Thou make thyself beautiful:
        [Thy] lovers shall despise Thee, they shall seek Thy soul.
Jer 4:31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, [and] the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child,
        the voice of the Daughter of Zion, [that] bewails herself, [that] spreads her hands,
        [saying], Woe [is] me now! For my soul is wearied because of murderers.

Jer 5:1 Run ye back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem,
        and see now, and know, and seek in its broad places, if ye can find a man,
        if there is [any] that executes judgment, that seeks the truth; and I shall pardon it.
Jer 5:2 And though they say, The LORD lives; surely, they swear falsely.
Jer 5:3 LORD, [are] not Thy eyes upon the truth? Thou have stricken them, but they have not grieved;
        Thou have consumed them, [but] they have refused to receive correction:
        they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Jer 5:4 Therefore I said, Surely, these [are] poor; they are foolish:
        for they know not the way of the LORD, [nor] the judgment of their God.
Jer 5:5 I shall go to the great men, and shall speak to them; for they have known the way of the LORD,
        [and] the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, [and] burst the bonds.
Jer 5:6 Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, [and] a wolf of the deserts shall spoil them, a leopard watching over their cities:
        every one that goes out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased.
Jer 5:7 How shall I pardon Thee for this? Thy sons have forsaken Me,
        and sworn by [them that are] no GOD: when I had fed them to the full, then they committed adultery,
        and assembled themselves by troops in the whores' houses.
Jer 5:8 They were [as] fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
Jer 5:9 Shall I not visit for these [things]? Said the LORD:
        shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jer 5:10
         Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end:
        take away her battlements; for they [are] not the LORD's.
Jer 5:11 For the House of Israel and the House of Judah;
        have dealt very treacherously against me, said the LORD.
Jer 5:12 They have belied the LORD, and said,
        [It is] not He; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
Jer 5:13 and the prophets shall become wind, and the word [is] not in them: thus shall it be done to them.
Jer 5:14
         Therefore thus says the LORD, God of Sabaoth, Because ye speak this word,
         Behold, I shall make My words in Thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Jer 5:15 Behold, I shall bring a nation upon you from far, House of Israel, said the LORD:
        it [is] a mighty nation, it [is] an ancient nation, a nation whose language Thou know not, neither understand what they say.
Jer 5:16 Their quiver [is] as an open sepulchre, they [are] all mighty men.
Jer 5:17 And they shall eat up Thy harvest, and Thy bread, [which] Thy sons and Thy daughters should eat:
        they shall eat up Thy flocks and Thy herds: they shall eat up Thy vines and Thy fig-trees:
        they shall impoverish with the sword Thy fortified cities, in which Thou have trusted.
Jer 5:18 But even in those days, said the LORD, I shall not make a full end with you.
Jer 5:19 And it shall be, when ye shall say, Why does the LORD our God all these [things] to us?
        Then shall Thou answer them, As ye have forsaken Me, and served strange gods in your land,
        so shall ye serve strangers in a land [that is] not yours.
Jer 5:20
         Declare this in the House of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
Jer 5:21 Hear now this, foolish people, and without a heart;
        who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not:
Jer 5:22 fear ye not me? Said the LORD: shall ye not tremble at My presence,
        who have placed the sand [for] the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree,
        that it cannot pass it: and though its waves toss themselves, yet can they not prevail;
        though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
Jer 5:23 But this people have a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone;
Jer 5:24 neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that gives rain,
        both the Former [Rain] and the Latter [Rain], in its season:
        He reserves to us the appointed Weeks of Harvest.

        therefore they have become great, and have grown rich.
Jer 5:28 They have become fat, they shine: yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked:

Jer 6:11 Therefore I [am] full of the fury of the LORD; I [am] weary with holding in: I shall pour it out upon the children abroad,

        Hear the word of the LORD, all [ye of] Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
Jer 7:3 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings,
        and I shall cause you to dwell in this place.
Jer 7:4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying,
        The Temple of the LORD. The Temple of the LORD. The Temple of the LORD, [are] these.
Jer 7:5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings;
        if ye thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
Jer 7:6 [if] ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place,
        neither walk after other GODS to your hurt:
Jer 7:7 then shall I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from everlasting to everlasting.
Jer 7:8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
Jer 7:9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal,

Jer 7:10 and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by My name,
        and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
Jer 7:11 Is this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your eyes?
        Behold, even I have seen [it], said the LORD.

        and I spoke to you, rising early and speaking, but ye heard not;
        and I called you, but ye answered not;
Jer 7:14 therefore I shall do to [this] house, which is called by My name,
        in which ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers,
        as I have done to Shiloh.

        and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
Jer 7:21 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel; Put your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
Jer 7:22 For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
        concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices:
Jer 7:23 but this thing I commanded them, saying,
        Obey My voice, and I shall be your GOD, and ye shall be My people:
        and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well to you.
Jer 7:24 But they listened not, nor inclined their ear,
        but walked in the counsels [and] in the imagination of their evil heart,
        and went backward, and not forward.
Jer 7:25 Since the day that your fathers came forth from the land of Egypt,
        to this day I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets,
        daily rising early and sending [them]:
Jer 7:26 yet they listened not to Me, nor inclined their ear,
        but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

        to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire;
        which I commanded [them] not, neither came it into my heart.
Jer 7:32 Therefore, behold, the days come, said the LORD,

        but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, until there shall be no place.

        for the land shall be desolate.
Jer 8:1
        At that time, said the LORD, they shall bring the bones of the kings of Judah,
        and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets,
        and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
Jer 8:2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the Army of Heaven,
        whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked,
        and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshiped:
        they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the Earth.

        who remain in all the places where I have driven them, says the LORD of Sabaoth.

        Shall they fall, and not arise? Shall he turn away, and not return?
Jer 8:5 Why [then] has this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding?
        They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Jer 8:6 I listened and heard, [but] they spoke not aright: no man repented of his wickedness, saying,
        What have I done? Every one turned to his course, as the horse rushes to the battle.
Jer 8:7 Yes, the stork in the Heaven knows her appointed times;
        and the turtledove and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming;
        but My people know not the judgment of the LORD.
Jer 8:8 How do ye say, We [are] wise, and the Law of the LORD [is] with us?

        behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom [is] in them?

        for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness,
        from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Jer 8:11 And also they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly,
        saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.
Jer 8:12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
        No, 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, said the LORD.
Jer 8:13
        I shall surely consume them, said the LORD:
        [there shall be] no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade;
        and [the things that] I have given to them shall pass away from them.
Jer 8:14 Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities,

        and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Jer 8:15 We looked for peace, but no good [came]; [and] for a time of health, and behold, trouble!
Jer 8:16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan:
        the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones;
        for they have come, and have devoured the land,
        and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell in it.
Jer 8:17 For behold, I shall send serpents, cobras, among you,
        which [shall] not [be] charmed, and they shall bite you, said the LORD.

Jer 8:19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of My people,
        because of them that dwell in a distant country.
        [Is] not the LORD in Zion? [Is] not her king in her?
        Why have they provoked Me to anger with their graven images, [and] with strange vanities?
Jer 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Jer 8:21 For the hurt of the daughter of My people,
        [am] I hurt; I [am] black; astonishment has taken hold on me.
Jer 8:22 [Is there] no balm in Gilead: [is there] no physician there?
        Why then is not the health of the daughter of My people recovered.

Jer 9:1 That My head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears,
        that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Jer 9:2
        That I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of way-faring men;
        that I might leave My people, and go from them!
        For they [are] all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Jer 9:3 And they bend their tongues [like] their bow [for] lies:
        but they are not valiant for the truth upon the Earth;
        for they proceed from evil to evil,
        and they know not Me, said the LORD.
Jer 9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour,
        and trust ye not in any brother:
        for every brother shall utterly supplant,
        and every neighbour shall walk with slanders.
Jer 9:5 And they shall deceive every one his neighbour,
        and shall not speak the truth:

        [and] weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Jer 9:6 Thy habitation [is] in the middle of deceit;
        through deceit they refuse to know Me, said the LORD.

Jer 9:7 Therefore thus says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        Behold, I shall melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of My people?

Jer 9:9 Shall I not visit them for these [things]? Said the LORD:
        shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

         For the mountains shall I take up a weeping and wailing,
        and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation,
        because they are burned up, so that none can pass through [them];

        and I shall make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

        And [who is he] to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken,
        that he may declare it, for what the land perishes,
        [and] is burned up like a wilderness, that none passes through?
Jer 9:13 And the LORD said, Because they have forsaken My Law,
        which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice,
        neither walked in it;
Jer 9:14 but have walked after the imagination of their own heart,
        and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
Jer 9:15 therefore thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Behold, I shall feed them, this people, with wormwood,
        and give them water of gall to drink.
Jer 9:16 And I shall scatter them also among the heathen,
        whom neither they nor their fathers have known:
        and I shall send a sword after them, until I have consumed them.

Jer 9:17 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, Consider ye, and call for the mourning [women], that they may come;
        and send for skilful [women], that they may come:
Jer 9:18 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.
Jer 9:19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion. How are we laid waste!
        We are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land,
        because our dwellings have cast [us] out.
Jer 9:20 Yet hear the word of the LORD,
        ye women, and let your ear receive the word of His mouth,
        and teach your daughters wailing,
        and every one her neighbour lamentation.

        Thus says the LORD,
         Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom.
         Let not the mighty [man] glory in his might.
         Let not the rich [man] glory in his riches:
Jer 9:24 he who boasts, let him boast in the LORD, [1Co 1:31 2Co 10:17]
        that he understands and knows Me, that I [AM] the LORD,
        who exercise kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the Earth:
        for in these [things] I delight, said the LORD.
Jer 9:25
        Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that I shall punish all:
        [them who are] circumcised with the uncircumcised.
Jer 9:26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the sons 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.

Jer 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD has spoken to you, House of Israel:
Jer 10:2 Thus says 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.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people [are] vain: for [one] cuts a tree out of the forest,
        the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it may not move.
Jer 10:5 They [are] stiff as the palm-tree, but speak not: they must necessarily be borne, because they cannot go.

        But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock [is] a doctrine of vanities.
Jer 10:9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz,
        the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder:

Jer 10:10 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.
Jer 10:11 {Aramaic verse}.
	Thus shall ye say to them, The gods that have not made the Heavens and the Earth,
        they shall perish from the Earth, and from under these Heavens.

        and has stretched out the Heavens by His understanding.
Jer 10:13 When He utters His voice, [there is] a multitude of waters in the Heavens,
        and He causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the Earth;

Jer 10:14 Every man is brutish in [his] knowledge:

        for they have eaten up Jacob,
        and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Jer 11:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jer 11:2 Hear ye the words of this Covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
Jer 11:3 and say Thou to them, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel;
        Cursed [be] the man that obeys not the words of this Covenant,
Jer 11:4 which I commanded your fathers in the day [that] I brought them forth from the land of Egypt,
        from the iron furnace, saying,
        Obey My voice, and do them, according to all which I command you:
        so shall ye be My people, and I shall be your GOD!
Jer 11:5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers,
        to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,
        as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, LORD!
Jer 11:6
        And the LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
        saying, Hear ye the words of this Covenant, and do them.
Jer 11:7 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day [that] I brought them up out of the land of Egypt,
        until this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey My voice.
Jer 11:8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart:
        therefore I shall bring upon them all the words of this Covenant,
        which I commanded [them] to do; but they did [them] not.
Jer 11:9 And the LORD said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Jer 11:10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear My words;
        and they went after other GODS to serve them: the House of Israel and the House of Judah have broken My Covenant,
        which I made with their fathers.
Jer 11:11 Therefore thus says the LORD,
        Behold, I shall bring calamity upon them which they shall not be able to escape;
        and though they shall cry to me, I shall not listen to them.
Jer 11:12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go,
        and cry to the GODS to which they offer incense:
        but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Jer 11:13 For [according to] the number of Thy cities were Thy gods,
        Judah; and [according to] the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up Altars,
        to [that] shameful thing, Altars to burn incense to Baal.
Jer 11:14 Therefore pray not Thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them:
        for I shall not hear [them] in the time when they cry to me for their trouble.
Jer 11:15
        What has My beloved to do in My house, [seeing] she has wrought lewdness with many;
        and the Holy flesh is passed from Thee? When Thou do evil, then Thou rejoices.
Jer 11:16 And the LORD called Thy name, A green olive-tree, fair, [and] of goodly fruit:
        With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Jer 11:17 For the LORD of Sabaoth, that planted Thee, has pronounced calamity against Thee,
        for the evil of the House of Israel and of the House of Judah,
        which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal.

Jer 11:18 And the LORD has given me knowledge, and I know: thus Thou showed me their doings.
Jer 11:19 But I [was] like a meek lamb [that] is brought to the slaughter;
        and I knew not that they had devised devices against me,
        [saying], Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living,
        that his name may be no more remembered.
Jer 11:20 But LORD of Sabaoth, that judge righteously, that search the reins and the heart,
        let me see Thy vengeance on them: for to Thee have I revealed My cause.
Jer 11:21
        Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek Thy soul,
        saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that Thou die not by our hand:
Jer 11:22 therefore thus says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        Behold, I shall punish them: the young men shall die by the sword;
        their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
Jer 11:23 and there shall be no remnant of them: for I shall bring calamity upon the men of Anathoth,
        the year of their visitation.
Jer 12:1
        Righteous [are] Thou, LORD, when I plead with Thee: yet let me speak with Thee of [Thy] Judgments:
        Why does the way of the wicked prosper? [Why] are they all happy that deal very treacherously?
Jer 12:2 Thou have planted them, yes, they have taken root: they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit:
        Thou [are] near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
Jer 12:3 But Thou, LORD, know me: Thou have seen me, and tried my heart towards Thee:
        pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Jer 12:4 Until when shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it?
        The beasts are consumed, and the fowls; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
Jer 12:5 If Thou have run with the footmen, and they have wearied Thee, then how can Thou contend with horses?
        And [if] in the land of peace, [in which] Thou have trusted,
        [they wearied Thee], then how shall Thou do in the swelling of the Jordan?
Jer 12:6 For even Thy brethren, and the house of Thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with Thee;
        yes, they have called a multitude after Thee: believe them not, though they speak nice words to Thee.
Jer 12:7 I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage;
        I have given the beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Jer 12:8 My heritage is to me as a lion in the forest; it cries out against me: therefore have I hated it.
Jer 12:9 My heritage [is] to me [as] a speckled bird, the birds around [are] against her;
        come ye, assemble all the animals of the field, come to devour.
Jer 12:10
        Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard,
        they have trodden My portion under foot, they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Jer 12:11 They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it mourns to me; the whole land is made desolate,
        because no man lays [it] to heart.
Jer 12:12 The spoilers have come upon all high places through the wilderness:
        for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the [one] end of the land,
        even to the other [end] of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
Jer 12:13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain,
        [but] shall not profit; and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Jer 12:14
        Thus says the LORD against all My evil neighbours,
        that touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit;
        Behold, I shall pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the House of Judah from among them.
Jer 12:15 And it shall be, after I have plucked them out I shall return,
        and have compassion on them, and shall bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Jer 12:16 And it shall be, if they shall diligently learn the ways of My people,
        to swear by My name, The LORD lives; as they taught My people to swear by Baal;
        then shall they be built in the middle of My people.
Jer 12:17 But if they shall not obey, I shall utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, said the LORD.

Jer 13:1 Thus says the LORD to me, Go and get for Thee a linen girdle,
        and put it upon Thy loins, and put it not in water.
Jer 13:2 So I procured a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put [it] on My loins.
Jer 13:3 Then came the word of the LORD to me the second time, saying,
Jer 13:4 Take the girdle that Thou have procured, which [is] upon Thy loins,
        and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
Jer 13:5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
Jer 13:6
        And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said to me,
        Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded Thee to hide there.
Jer 13:7 Then I went to Euphrates, and dig, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it:
        and behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
Jer 13:8
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Jer 13:9 Thus says the LORD, After this manner shall I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Jer 13:10 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, who walk in the imagination of their heart,
        and walk after other GODS, to serve them, and to worship them,
        shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
Jer 13:11 For as the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man,
        so have I caused to cleave to me the whole House of Israel and the whole House of Judah,
        said the LORD; that they might be to me for a people, and for a name,
        and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
Jer 13:12 And Thou shall speak to them this word; Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,
        Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say to Thee,
        Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
Jer 13:13 Then shall Thou say to them, Thus says the LORD,
        Behold, I shall 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.
Jer 13:14 And I shall dash them a man against his brother, even the fathers and the sons together, said the LORD:
        I shall not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.

Jer 13:15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD has spoken.
Jer 13:16 Give glory to the LORD your God,
        before He shall cause darkness,
        and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight,
        and while ye look for light,
        He shall turn it into the shades of death,
        [and] make [it] gross darkness.
Jer 13:17 But if ye shall not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for [your] pride;
        and My eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears,
        because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.
Jer 13:18 Say to the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves,
        sit down: for your principalities shall come down, the crown of your glory.
Jer 13:19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open [them];
        Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
Jer 13:20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north:
        where [is] the flock [that] was given Thee, Thy beautiful flock?
Jer 13:21 What shall Thou say when He shall punish Thee?
        For Thou have taught them [to be] captains, [and] as chief over Thee:
        shall not sorrows take Thee, as a woman in travail?
Jer 13:22 And if Thou shall say in Thy heart, Why come these [things] upon me?
        For the greatness of Thy iniquity are Thy skirts uncovered, [and] Thy heels made bare.
Jer 13:23 Can the Cushite change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
        Ye may also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Jer 13:24 Therefore shall I scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
Jer 13:25 This [is] Thy lot, the portion of Thy measures from me, said the LORD;
        because Thou have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Jer 13:26 Therefore shall I uncover Thy skirts upon Thy face, that Thy shame may appear.
Jer 13:27 I have seen Thy adulteries, and Thy neighings, the enormity of Thy lewdness,
        [and] Thy abominations on the hills in the fields.
        Woe to Thee Jerusalem! Will Thou not be made clean? When [shall it] once [be]?

Jer 14:1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the famine.
Jer 14:2 Judah mourns, and her gates languish; they are black to the ground;
        and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Jer 14:3 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;
Jer 14:4 because the ground is parched, for there was no rain on the land,
        the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
Jer 14:5 For the hind also calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
Jer 14:6 And the wild asses stood in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like monsters;
        their eyes failed, because [there was] no grass.
Jer 14:7 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.
Jer 14:8 The hope of Israel, his Saviour in time of trouble, why should Thou be as a stranger in the land,
        and as a way-faring man [that] turns aside to tarry for a night?
Jer 14:9 Why should Thou be as a man astonished, as a mighty man [that] cannot save?
        Yet Thou, LORD, [are] in the middle of us, and we are called by Thy name; leave us not.

        therefore the LORD does not accept them; He shall now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
Jer 14:11 And the LORD said to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good.
Jer 14:12 When they fast, I shall not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and an oblation,
        I shall not accept them: but I shall consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jer 14:13 Then I said, Ah! Lord JeHoVaH! Behold, the prophets say to them,
        Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine;
        but I shall give you assured peace in this place.
Jer 14:14
        And the LORD said to me,
        The prophets prophesy lies in My name:
        I have not sent them,
        neither have I commanded them,
        neither spoken to them:
        they prophesy to you a false vision and divination,
        and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart.
Jer 14:15 Therefore thus says the LORD,
        concerning the prophets that prophesy in My name,
        and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land;
        By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Jer 14:16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem,
        because of the famine, and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them,
        them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I shall pour their wickedness upon them.
Jer 14:17
        Therefore Thou shall say this word to them; Let my eyes run down with tears night and day,
        and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach,
        with a very grievous blow.
Jer 14:18 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword!
        And if I enter into the city, then behold the diseases with famine!
        For both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.
Jer 14:19 Have Thou utterly rejected Judah? Has Thy soul loathed Zion?
        Why have Thou smitten us, and [there is] no healing for us?
        We looked for peace, and [there is] no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
Jer 14:20 We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, [and] the iniquity of our fathers;
        for we have sinned against Thee.

        remember, break not Thy Covenant with us.
Jer 14:22 Are there [any] among the vanities of the gentiles that can cause rain?
        Or can the Heavens give showers?
        [Are] not Thou He, LORD our God?
        Therefore we shall wait upon Thee: for Thou have made all these [things].

Jer 15:1 And the LORD said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me,
        [yet] My soul [could] not [be] towards this people: cast [them] out of My sight, and let them go forth.
Jer 15:2 And it shall be, if they say to Thee, where shall we go forth?
        Then Thou shall tell them, Thus says 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.
Jer 15:3 And I shall appoint over them four kinds, said the LORD:
        the sword to slay,
        and the dogs to tear,
        and the fowls of the air,
        and the beasts of the Earth, to devour and destroy.
Jer 15:4 And I shall cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the World,
        because of Manasseh the son of Hizkiah king of Judah,
        for [that] which he did in Jerusalem.
Jer 15:5 For who shall have pity upon Thee, Jerusalem?
        Or who shall bemoan Thee? Or who shall go aside to ask concerning Thy welfare?

        therefore shall I stretch out My hand against Thee, and destroy Thee;
        I [am] weary with relenting.
Jer 15:7 And I shall fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I shall bereave [them] of children,
        I shall destroy My people, [since] they return not from their ways.
Jer 15:8 Their widows are multiplied to me above the sand of the seas:
        I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noon:
        I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
Jer 15:9 She who has borne seven languishes: she has resigned her soul;
        her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day:
        she has been ashamed and confounded:
        and the residue of them shall I deliver to the sword,
        before their enemies, said the LORD.

Jer 15:10 Woe is me, my mother, that Thou have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to all the Earth!
        I have neither lent on usury, nor have men lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them does curse me.
Jer 15:11 And the LORD said, Truly it shall be well with Thy remnant;
        truly I shall cause the enemy to treat Thee [well] in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Jer 15:12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the bronze?
Jer 15:13 Thy substance and Thy treasures I shall give to the spoil without price,
        and [that] for all Thy sins, even in all Thy borders.
Jer 15:14 And I shall make [Thee] to pass with Thy enemies into a land [which] Thou know not:
        for a fire is kindled in My anger, [which] shall burn upon you.
Jer 15:15 LORD, Thou know: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors;
        take me not away in Thy patience: know that for Thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
Jer 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart:
        for I [am] called by Thy name, LORD, God of Sabaoth.
Jer 15:17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced;
        I sat alone because of Thy hand: for Thou have filled me with indignation.
Jer 15:18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which] refuses to be healed?
        Will Thou be altogether to me as a liar, [and as] waters [that] fail?
Jer 15:19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If Thou shall return, then shall I bring Thee again, [and] Thou shall stand before Me:
        and if Thou shall separate the precious from the vile,
        Thou shall be as My mouth: let them return to Thee; but return not Thou to them.
Jer 15:20 And I shall make Thee to this people a fortified bronze 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, said the LORD.
Jer 15:21 And I shall deliver Thee from the hand of the wicked, and I shall redeem Thee from the hand of the terrible.

Jer 16:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Jer 16:2 Thou shall not take Thee a wife, neither shall Thou have sons nor daughters in this place.
Jer 16:3 For thus says the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place,
        and concerning their mothers that bore them, and concerning their fathers that begot them in this land;
Jer 16:4 they shall die of deadly diseases; 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 food for the fowls of the air,
        and for the beasts of the Earth.
Jer 16:5 For thus says the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning,
        neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away My peace from this people,
        said the LORD, kindness and mercies;
Jer 16:6 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:
Jer 16:7 neither do they deal [bread] out to them for mournings,
        to comfort them for the dead; neither shall [men] give them the cup of consolation to drink,
        for their father or for their mother.
Jer 16:8 And Thou shall not go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
Jer 16:9

        Behold, I shall 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.
Jer 16:10 And it shall be, when Thou shall show this people all these words, and they shall say to Thee,
        Why has the LORD pronounced all this great calamity against us? Or what [is] our iniquity?
        Or what [is] our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?
Jer 16:11 Then shall Thou say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken Me, said the LORD,
        and have walked after other GODS, and have served them, and have worshiped them,
        and have forsaken Me, and have not kept My Law;
Jer 16:12 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 listen to Me:
Jer 16:13 therefore shall 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 shall not show you favour.
Jer 16:14
        Therefore behold, the days come, said the LORD, that it shall no more be said,
        The LORD lives, who brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jer 16:15 but the LORD lives, who brought the sons of Israel from the land of the north,
        and from all the lands where He had driven them:
        and I shall bring them back into their land that I gave to their fathers.
Jer 16:16 Behold, I shall send for many fishers, said the LORD, and they shall fish them;
        and afterwards I shall send for many hunters,
        and they shall hunt them from every mountain,
        and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
Jer 16:17 For My eyes [are] upon all their ways: they are not hid from My face,
        neither is their iniquity hid from My eyes.
Jer 16:18 And first I shall recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled My land,
        they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things.
Jer 16:19 LORD, my Strength and my Fortress, and my Refuge in the day of affliction,
        the gentiles shall come to Thee from the ends of the Earth, and shall say,
        Surely, our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] in which [there is] no profit.
Jer 16:20 Shall a man make GODS to himself, and they [are] no GODS?
Jer 16:21 Therefore behold, I shall this once cause them to know,
        I shall cause them to know My hand and My might;
        and they shall know that My name [is] JeHoVaH.

Jer 17:1 The sin of Judah [is] written with a pen of iron, [and] with the point of a diamond:
        [it is] graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your Altars;
Jer 17:2 while their sons remember their Altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.
Jer 17:3 My mountain in the field, I shall give Thy substance [and] all Thy treasures to the spoil,
        [and] Thy high places for sin, throughout all Thy borders.

        and I shall cause Thee to serve Thy enemies in the land which Thou know not:
        for ye have kindled a fire in My anger, [which] shall burn forever.
Jer 17:5
        Thus says the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusts in man,
        and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD!
Jer 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes;
        but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [in] a salt land and not inhabited.
Jer 17:7 Blessed [is] the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD!
Jer 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreads out her roots by the river,
        and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green;
        and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jer 17:9 The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and incurable: who can know it?
Jer 17:10 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.
Jer 17:11 [As] the partridge sits [on eggs], and hatchets [them] not; [so] he who gets riches,
        and not by right, shall leave them in the middle of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
Jer 17:12 A glorious high throne from the beginning [is] the place of our Sanctuary.
Jer 17:13 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 Water.
Jer 17:14
        Heal me, LORD, and I shall be healed; save me,
        and I shall be saved: for Thou [are] My praise.
Jer 17:15 Behold, they say to me, Where [is] the word of the LORD? Let it come now.
Jer 17:16 As for me, I have not hastened from [being] a shepherd to follow Thee:
        neither have I desired the woeful day; Thou know:
        that which was uttered by my lips was [right] before Thee.
Jer 17:17 Be not a terror to me: Thou [are] My hope in the day of evil.
Jer 17:18 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.

Jer 17:19 Thus says the LORD to me; Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people,
        by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Jer 17:20 and say to them, Hear ye the word of the LORD,
        ye kings of Judah, and all Judah,
        and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter by these gates.
Jer 17:21 Thus says the LORD; Take heed to your souls, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day,
        nor bring [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Jer 17:22 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.
Jer 17:23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff,
        that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
Jer 17:24 And it shall be, if ye diligently listen to Me, said the LORD,
        to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day,
        but hallow the Sabbath day, to do no work in it;
Jer 17:25 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 forever.
Jer 17:26 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 food-offerings, and frankincense,
        bringing sacrifices of praise, to the House of the LORD.
Jer 17:27 But if ye shall not listen to Me to hallow the Sabbath day,
        and not to bear a burden, even entering at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day;
        then shall I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem,
        and it shall not be quenched.

Jer 18:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jer 18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I shall cause Thee to hear My words.
Jer 18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on both wheel-stones.
Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter:
        so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed straight to the potter to make [it].
Jer 18:5 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Jer 18:6 House of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter?
        Said the LORD. Behold, as the clay [is] in the potter's hand, so [are] ye in My hand, House of Israel.
Jer 18:7 [At what] instant I shall speak against a nation, and against a kingdom,
        to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy [it];
Jer 18:8 if that nation against which I have pronounced, shall turn from their evil,
        I shall regret of the calamity that I thought to do to them.
Jer 18:9 And [at what] instant I shall speak against a nation, and against a kingdom,
        to build and to plant [it];
Jer 18:10 if it shall do evil in My eyes, that it obey not My voice, then I shall regret of the good,
        with which I said, I would benefit them.
Jer 18:11 And now come, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
        saying, Thus says the LORD;
        Behold, I frame calamity 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.
Jer 18:12 And they said, There is no hope: but we shall walk after our own devices,
        and we shall every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
Jer 18:13 Therefore thus says the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen,
        who has heard such things: the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Jer 18:14 Shall the snow of Lebanon forsake from the rock of the field?
          Shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
Jer 18:15
        Because My people has forgotten Me,
        they have burned incense to vanity,
        and they have been caused to stumble in their ways,
        [from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths,
        [in] a way not cast up;
Jer 18:16 to make their land desolate, [and] a perpetual hissing;
        every one that passes by it shall be astonished,
        and wag his head.
Jer 18:17 And I shall scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy;
        I shall show them the back, and not the face,
        in the day of their calamity.
Jer 18:18 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.
Jer 18:19 Give heed to me, LORD, and listen to the voice of them that contend with me.
Jer 18:20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have dig a pit for my soul.
        Remember that I stood before Thee to speak good for them, [and] to turn away Thy wrath from them.
Jer 18:21 Therefore deliver their sons to the famine, and pour out their [blood] by the force of the sword;
        and let their wives be bereaved of their sons, and [be] widows; and let their men be put to death;
        [let] their young men [be] slain by the sword in battle.
Jer 18:22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when Thou shall bring a troop suddenly upon them:
        for they have dig a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
Jer 18:23 Yet, LORD, Thou know all their counsel against me to slay me:
        forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from Thy sight,
        but let them be overthrown before Thee;
        deal [thus] with them in the time of Thy anger.

Jer 19:1 Thus says 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;
Jer 19:2 and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which [is] by the entry of the Potsherd Gate,
        and proclaim there the words that I shall tell Thee,
Jer 19:3 and say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem;
        Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel; Behold, I shall bring calamity upon this place,
        which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle;
Jer 19:4 because they have forsaken Me, and have estranged this place,
        and have burned incense in it to other GODS,
        whom neither they nor their fathers have known,
        nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
Jer 19:5 they have built also the high places of Baal,
        to burn their sons with fire [for] burnt-offerings to Baal,
        which I commanded not, nor spoke [it], neither came [it] into My heart:
Jer 19:6 therefore behold, the days come, said the LORD,
        that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom,
        but the valley of slaughter.
Jer 19:7 And I shall make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place;
        and I shall cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies,
        and by the hand of them that seek their souls:
        and their carcasses I shall give to be food for the fowls of the air,
        and for the beasts of the Earth.
Jer 19:8 And I shall make this city desolate, and a hissing;
        every one that passes by it shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
Jer 19:9 And I shall cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters,
        and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and distress with which their enemies,
        and they that seek their souls, shall distress them.
Jer 19:10 Then shall Thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with Thee,
Jer 19:11 and shall say to them, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Even so shall I break this people and this city, as [one] breaks a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again:
        and they shall bury [them] in Tophet, until [there be] no place to bury.
Jer 19:12 Thus I shall do to this place, said the LORD, and to its inhabitants, and make this city as Tophet:
Jer 19:13 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet,
        because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the Army of Heaven,
        and have poured out drink-offerings to other GODS.
Jer 19:14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy;
        and he stood in the court of the LORD's House; and said to all the people,
Jer 19:15 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Behold, I shall bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the calamity that I have pronounced against it,
        because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear My words.

Jer 20:1 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.
Jer 20:2 Then Pashur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that [were] in the upper Benjamin Gate,
        which [was] by the House of the LORD.
Jer 20:3
        And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks.
        Then said Jeremiah to him, The LORD has not called Thy name Pashur{freedom}, but Magor-missabib{terror on every side}.
Jer 20:4 For thus says the LORD, Behold, I shall make Thee a terror to thyself,
        and to all Thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies,
        and Thy eyes shall behold [it]: and I shall 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.
Jer 20:5 And I shall deliver all the strength of this city, and all its labours, and all its precious things,
        and all the treasures of the kings of Judah I shall give into the hand of their enemies,
        who shall pillage them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
Jer 20:6
        And Thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in Thy house shall go into captivity: and Thou shall come to Babylon,
        and there Thou shall die, and shall be buried there,
        Thou, and all Thy friends, to whom Thou have prophesied lies.
Jer 20:7 LORD, Thou have persuaded me, and I was persuaded: Thou are stronger than I,
        and have prevailed: I have been in derision daily, every one mocks me.
Jer 20:8 For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil;
        because the word of the LORD was made a reproach to me, and a derision, daily.
Jer 20:9 Then I said, I shall not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name.
        But [his word] was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay].
Jer 20:10 For I heard the defaming of many, terror [is] on every side. Report, [say they], and we shall report it.
        All men [that were at] peace with Thee watched for my halting, [saying], Perhaps he shall be enticed,
        and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
Jer 20:11 But the LORD [is] with me as a mighty awesome 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.
Jer 20:12 But LORD of Sabaoth, that try the righteous, [and] see the reins and the heart,
        let me see Thy vengeance on them: for to Thee have I opened my cause.
Jer 20:13 {Lament Song of Birth}.
        Sing to the LORD, praise ye the LORD:
        for He has delivered the soul of the poor,
        from the hand of evil-doers.
Jer 20:14 Cursed [be] the day in which I was born:
        let not the day in which my mother bore me be blessed!
Jer 20:15 Cursed [be] the man who brought tidings to my father,
        saying, A son, a male is born to Thee; making him very glad!
Jer 20:16 And let that man be as the cities,
        which the LORD overthrew, and repented not:
        and let him hear the cry in the morning,
        and the shouting at noon;
Jer 20:17 because He slew me not from the womb;
        or that my mother might have been my grave,
        and she had not been delivered.
Jer 20:18 Why did I come forth from the womb to see labour and sorrow,
        that my days should be consumed with shame?

Jer 21:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD,
        when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
Jer 21:2 Inquire, I pray Thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us;
        it may be that the LORD shall deal with us according to all His wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
Jer 21:3 Then said Jeremiah to them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:
Jer 21:4 Thus says the LORD, God of Israel; Behold, I shall turn back the weapons of war that [are] in your hands,
        with which ye fight against the king of Babylon, and [against] the Chaldeans,
        who besiege you outside the walls, and I shall assemble them into the middle of this city.
Jer 21:5 And I, Myself shall fight against you with an out-stretched hand and with a strong arm,
        even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
Jer 21:6 And I shall smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they shall die by a great pestilence.
Jer 21:7 And afterward, said the LORD, I shall deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people,
        and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine,
        into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
        and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their soul;
        and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword;
        he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
Jer 21:8 And to this people Thou shall say, Thus says the LORD;
        Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Jer 21:9 He who stays in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
        but he who goes out, and falls to the Chaldeans that besiege you,
        he shall live, and his soul shall be to him for a prey.
Jer 21:10 For I have set My face against this city for evil, and not for good, said the LORD:
        it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon,
        and he shall burn it with fire.
Jer 21:11 And concerning the House of the king of Judah, [say], Hear ye the word of the LORD;
Jer 21:12 House of David, thus says the LORD; Execute in the morning judgment,
        and deliver him [that is] made desolate out of the hand of the oppressor,
        lest My fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench [it], because of the evil of your doings.
Jer 21:13 Behold, I [AM] against Thee, inhabitress of the valley, [and] rock of the plain, said the LORD;
        who say, Who shall come down against us? Or who shall enter into our habitations?
Jer 21:14 But I shall punish you according to the fruit of your doings, said the LORD:
        and I shall kindle a fire in its forest, and it shall devour all [things] around it.

Jer 22:1 Thus says the LORD; Go down to the House of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
Jer 22:2 and say, Hear the word of the LORD, king of Judah, that sit upon the throne of David,
        Thou, and Thy servants, and Thy people that enter by these gates:
Jer 22:3 thus says the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver him that is laid waste out of the hand of the oppressor:
        and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
Jer 22:4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter, by the gates of this house, kings sitting upon the throne of David,
        riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
Jer 22:5 But if ye shall not hear these words, I swear by Myself, said the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
Jer 22:6 For thus says the LORD to the House of king of Judah;
        Thou [are] Gilead to me, [and] the head of Lebanon;
        [yet] surely I shall make Thee a wilderness, [and] cities [which] are not inhabited.
Jer 22:7 And I shall prepare destroyers against Thee, every one with his weapons:
        and they shall cut down Thy choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
Jer 22:8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour,
        Why has the LORD done thus to this great city?
Jer 22:9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the Covenant of the LORD their God,
        and worshiped other GODS, and served them.
Jer 22:10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: [but] weep bitterly for him that goes away:
        for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Jer 22:11 For thus says the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah,
        who reigned instead of Josiah his father,
        who went forth from this place, he shall not return there any more:
Jer 22:12 but he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
Jer 22:13 Woe to him that builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong;
        [that] uses his neighbour's service without wages, and gives him not for his work!
Jer 22:14 That said, I shall build me a wide house and large chambers, and cuts him out windows;
        and [it is] ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion!
Jer 22:15 Shall Thou reign, because Thou closest [thyself] in cedar?
        Did not Thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, [and] then [it was] well with him?
Jer 22:16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was] well [with him: was] not this to know Me? Said the LORD.
Jer 22:17 But Thy eyes and Thy heart [are] only for Thy covetousness,
        and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do [it].
Jer 22:18 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah;
        They shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah my brother! Or, Ah sister!
        They shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah lord! Or, Ah his glory!
Jer 22:19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Jer 22:20
        Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up Thy voice in Bashan,
        and cry from the passages: for all Thy lovers are destroyed.
Jer 22:21 I spoke to Thee in Thy prosperity; [but] Thou said, I shall not hear.
        This has [been] Thy manner from Thy youth, that Thou have not obeyed My voice.
Jer 22:22 The wind shall eat up all Thy shepherds, and Thy lovers shall go into captivity:
        surely then shall Thou be ashamed and confounded for all Thy wickedness.
Jer 22:23 Inhabitress of Lebanon, that make Thy nest in the cedars,
        how gracious shall Thou be when pangs come upon Thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
Jer 22:24 [As] I live, said the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah,
        were the signet upon My right hand, yet would I pluck Thee thence;
Jer 22:25 and I shall give Thee into the hand of them that seek Thy soul, and into the hand [of them] whose face Thou fear,
        even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jer 22:26 And I shall cast Thee out, and Thy mother that bore Thee, into another country,
        where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
Jer 22:27 But to the land to which they [desire of the] soul to return, there shall they not return.
Jer 22:28 [Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol? [Is he] a vessel in which [is] no pleasure?
        Why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
Jer 22:29 Earth, Earth, Earth, hear the word of the LORD.
Jer 22:30 Thus says 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.

Jer 23:1 Woe be to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! Said the LORD.
Jer 23:2 Therefore thus says the LORD, God of Israel against the shepherds that feed My people;
        Ye have scattered My flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them:
        behold, I shall visit upon you the evil of your doings, said the LORD.
Jer 23:3 And I shall gather the remnant of My flock from all countries where I have driven them,
        and shall bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
Jer 23:4 And I shall set shepherds over them who shall feed them:
        and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, said the LORD.
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that I shall raise to David a righteous Branch,
        and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice upon the Earth.
Jer 23:6 In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in safety:
        and this [is] His name by which He shall be called, JeHoVaH our Righteousness.
Jer 23:7
        Therefore, behold, the days come, said the LORD, that they shall no more say,
        The LORD lives, who brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jer 23:8 but the LORD lives, who brought and who led the seed of the House of Israel out of the north country,
        and from all countries where I have driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
Jer 23:9 Concerning of the prophets my heart within me is broken; all my bones tremble; I have been like a drunken man,
        and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of His Holiness.
Jer 23:10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns;
        the pastures of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force [is] not right.
Jer 23:11 For both prophet and priest are profane; even in My house have I found their wickedness, said the LORD.
Jer 23:12 Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery [ways] in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it:
        for I shall bring calamity upon them, the year of their visitation, said the LORD.
Jer 23:13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused My people Israel to go astray.
Jer 23:14 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 evil-doers,
        that none does return from his wickedness: they are all of them to Me as Sodom,
        and the inhabitants of it as Gomorrah.
Jer 23:15 Therefore thus says the LORD of Sabaoth concerning the prophets;
        Behold, I shall 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.
Jer 23:16 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, Listen not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you:
        they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not from the mouth of the LORD.
Jer 23:17 They say still to them that despise Me, The LORD has said,
        Ye shall have peace; and they say to every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart,
        No evil shall come upon you.
Jer 23:18 For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard His word?
        Who has marked His word, and heard [it]?
Jer 23:19 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.
Jer 23:20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until He shall have executed,
        and until He shall have performed the thoughts of His heart: in the Latter Days ye shall consider [with] understanding.
Jer 23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
Jer 23:22 But if they had stood in My counsel, and had caused My people to hear My words,
        then they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jer 23:23 [AM] I a God near by, said the LORD, and not a God afar off?
Jer 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Said the LORD.
        Do not I fill the Heaven and the Earth? Said the LORD.
Jer 23:25
        I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in My name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Jer 23:26 Until when shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies?
        Even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Jer 23:27 who think to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour,
        as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal.
Jer 23:28 The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
        What [is] the chaff to the wheat? Said the LORD?
Jer 23:29 [Is] not My word like a fire? Said the LORD? And like a hammer [that] breaks the rock in pieces?
Jer 23:30 Therefore behold, I [AM] against the prophets, said the LORD, that steal My words every one from his neighbour.
Jer 23:31 Behold, I [AM] against the prophets, said the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He said.
Jer 23:32 Behold, I [AM] against them that prophesy false dreams, said the LORD,
        and do tell them, and cause My people to go astray by their lies,
        and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them:
        therefore they shall not profit this people at all, said the LORD.
Jer 23:33
        And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask Thee, saying,
        What [is] the burden of the LORD?
        Thou shall then say to them, What burden? I shall even forsake you, said the LORD.
Jer 23:34 And [as for] the prophet, and the priest, and the people that shall say,
        The burden of the LORD, I shall even punish that man and his house.
Jer 23:35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother,
        What has the LORD answered? And what has the LORD spoken?
Jer 23:36 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 Sabaoth our God.
Jer 23:37 Thus shall Thou say to the prophet, What has the LORD answered Thee? And what has the LORD spoken?
Jer 23:38 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus says the LORD;
        Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent to you, saying,
        Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
Jer 23:39 therefore behold, I, even I, shall utterly forget you, and I shall forsake you,
        and the city that I gave to you and your fathers, [and cast you] out of My presence:
Jer 23:40 and I shall bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

Jer 24:1 The LORD showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs [were] set before the Temple of the LORD,
        after Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah,
        and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Jer 24:2 One basket [had] very good figs, like the figs [that are] first ripe:
        and the other basket [had] very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Jer 24:3 And the LORD said to me, What see Thou, Jeremiah?
        And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
Jer 24:4 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Jer 24:5 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so shall I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah,
        whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for [their] good.
Jer 24:6 And I shall set My eyes upon them for good, and I shall bring them back to this land:
        and I shall build them, and not pull [them] down; and I shall plant them, and not pluck [them] up.
Jer 24:7 And I shall give them a heart to know Me, that I [AM] the LORD: and they shall be My people,
        and I shall be their GOD: for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.
Jer 24:8 And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus says the LORD,
        So I shall give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem,
        that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
Jer 24:9 and I shall deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the World for [their] hurt,
        [to be] a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.
Jer 24:10 And I shall send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them,
        until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
Jer 25:1 The word which came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
        that [was] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon;
Jer 25:2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Jer 25:3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, until this day, that [is] the twenty third year,
        the word of the LORD has come to me,
        and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not listened.
Jer 25:4 And the LORD has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending [them];
        but ye have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
Jer 25:5 They said, Turn ye back now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings,
        and dwell in the land that the LORD has given you and to your fathers, from everlasting to everlasting:
Jer 25:6 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 shall do you no hurt.
Jer 25:7 Yet ye have not listened to Me, said the LORD;
        that ye might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
Jer 25:8 Therefore thus says the LORD of Sabaoth; Because ye have not heard My words,
Jer 25:9
        Behold, I shall send and take all the families of the north, said the LORD,
        and Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} the king of Babylon, My servant,
        and shall bring them against this land,
        and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around,
        and shall utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment,
        and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
Jer 25:10 And I shall 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 lamp.
Jer 25:11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, [and] an astonishment;
        and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jer 25:12 And it shall be, when seventy years are accomplished,
        [that] I shall punish the king of Babylon,
        and that nation, said the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans,
        and shall make it perpetual desolations.
Jer 25:13 And I shall bring upon that land all My words which I have pronounced against it,
        all that has been written in this Book,
        which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
Jer 25:14 For many nations and great kings shall reduce them to subjection also:
        and I shall recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

Jer 25:15 For thus says the LORD, God of Israel to me;
        Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send Thee, to drink it;
Jer 25:16 and they shall drink, and be moved, and enraged, because of the sword that I shall send among them.
Jer 25:17 Then I took the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:
Jer 25:18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and her kings, and her princes, to make them a desolation,
        an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse; as [it is] this day;
Jer 25:19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Jer 25:20 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz,
        and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
Jer 25:21 Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
Jer 25:22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea,
Jer 25:23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all [that are] in the utmost corners,
Jer 25:24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people that dwell in the desert,
Jer 25:25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
Jer 25:26 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.
Jer 25:27 And Thou shall say to them, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Drink ye, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I shall send among you.
Jer 25:28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at Thy hand to drink, then shall Thou say to them,
        Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth; Ye shall certainly drink.
Jer 25:29 For behold, I begin to bring calamity on the city which is called by My name, and should ye be utterly unpunished?
        Ye shall not be unpunished: for I shall call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the Earth, says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Jer 25:30 Therefore prophesy Thou against them all these words, and say to them,
        The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter His voice from His Holy habitation;
        He shall mightily roar upon His habitation; He shall give a shout,
        as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the Earth.
Jer 25:31 A noise shall come to the ends of the Earth; for the LORD has a controversy with the nations,
        He shall plead with all flesh; He shall give them [that are] wicked to the sword, said the LORD.
Jer 25:32 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation,
        and a great whirlwind shall be raised from the borders of the Earth.
Jer 25:33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from [one] end of the Earth even to the [other] end of the Earth:
        they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
Jer 25:34 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.
Jer 25:35 And flight shall perish from the shepherds, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
Jer 25:36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock,
        [shall be heard]: for the LORD has laid waste their pasture.
Jer 25:37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down, because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Jer 25:38 He has forsaken His covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate,
        because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of His fierce anger.

Jer 26:1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,
Jer 26:2 Thus says the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's House, and speak to all the cities of Judah,
        which come to worship in the LORD's House, all the words that I command Thee to speak to them; diminish not a word:
Jer 26:3 it may be they shall listen, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may relent of the calamity,
        which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
Jer 26:4 And Thou shall say to them, Thus says the LORD, If ye shall not listen to me to walk in My Law, which I have set before you,
Jer 26:5 to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I sent to you,
        both rising early, and sending [them], but ye have not listened;
Jer 26:6 then shall I make this house like Shiloh, and shall make this city a curse to all the nations of the Earth.
Jer 26:7 So the priests and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the House of the LORD.
Jer 26:8
        And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people,
        that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Dying, Thou shall die.
Jer 26:9 Why have 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.
Jer 26:10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house to the House of the LORD,
        and sat down in the entry of the New Gate of the LORD.
Jer 26:11 Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying,
        This man [is] worthy to die; for he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
Jer 26:12
        Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes, and to all the people, saying,
        The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
Jer 26:13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God;
        and the LORD shall relent of the calamity that He has pronounced against you.
Jer 26:14 As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand: do with me as it seems good and meet to you.
Jer 26:15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves,
        upon this city, and upon its inhabitants: for of a truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
Jer 26:16 Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets;
        This man [is] not worthy to die: for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.
Jer 26:17 Then arose some of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Jer 26:18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hizkiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah,
        saying, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Zion shall be ploughed [like] a field,
        and Jerusalem shall become heaps,
        and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
Jer 26:19 Did Hizkiah king of Judah and all Judah dying the death?
        Did he not fear the LORD, and beseech the LORD,
        and the LORD relented of the evil which He had pronounced against them?
        Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
Jer 26:20
        And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim,
        who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
Jer 26:21 and when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words,
        the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
Jer 26:22 and Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan the son of Achbor, and [some] men with him into Egypt.
Jer 26:23 And they brought forth Urijah from Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king;
        who slew him with the sword, and cast his carcass into the graves of the sons of the people.
Jer 26:24 Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah,
        that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.

Jer 27:1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jer 27:2 Thus says the LORD to me; Make for Thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon Thy neck,
Jer 27:3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon,
        by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
Jer 27:4 and command them to say to their masters, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Thus shall ye say to your masters;
Jer 27:5 I have made the Earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground,
        by My great power and by My out-stretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed straight to Me.
Jer 27:6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant;
        and the animals of the field have I given him also to serve him.
Jer 27:7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his grandson, until the very time of his land shall come:
        and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.
Jer 27:8 And it shall be, [that] the nation and kingdom which shall not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon,
        and that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,
        that nation shall I punish, said the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Jer 27:9
        Therefore listen ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your observers of clouds, nor to your sorcerers,
        who speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
Jer 27:10 For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
Jer 27:11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him,
        those shall I let remain still in their own land, said the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.
Jer 27:12 I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying,
        Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Jer 27:13 Why shall ye die, Thou and Thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence,
        as the LORD has spoken against the nation that shall not serve the king of Babylon?
Jer 27:14 Therefore listen not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying,
        Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Jer 27:15 For I have not sent them, said the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in My name;
        that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy to you.
Jer 27:16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the LORD;
        Listen not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying,
        Behold, the vessels of the LORD's House shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon:
        for they prophesy a lie to you.
Jer 27:17 Listen not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?
Jer 27:18 But if they [are] prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them,
        let them now make intercession to the LORD of Sabaoth,
        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.
Jer 27:19 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea,
        and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
Jer 27:20 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.
Jer 27:21 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, 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;
Jer 27:22 they shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them,
        said the LORD; then shall I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

Jer 28:1 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 Azzur the prophet,
        who [was] of Gibeon, spoke to me in the House of the LORD, in the presence of the priests, and of all the people, saying,
Jer 28:2 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jer 28:3 Within two full years shall I bring back 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:
Jer 28:4 and I shall bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon,
        said the LORD; for I shall break the yoke of the king of Babylon;
Jer 28:5 then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests,
        and in the presence of all the people that stood in the House of the LORD,
Jer 28:6 even the prophet Jeremiah said,
        Amen, May the LORD do so: the LORD perform Thy words which Thou have prophesied,
        to bring back the vessels of the LORD's House, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
Jer 28:7
        Nevertheless now hear Thou this word that I speak in Thy ears, and in the ears of all the people.
Jer 28:8 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.
Jer 28:9 The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall be,
        [then] shall the prophet be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.
Jer 28:10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.
Jer 28:11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying,
        Thus says the LORD; Even so shall 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.
Jer 28:12 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah,
        after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 28:13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying,
        Thus says the LORD; Thou have broken the yokes of wood; but Thou shall make for them yokes of iron.
Jer 28:14 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, 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 animals of the field also.
Jer 28:15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet,
        Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD has not sent Thee; but Thou make this people to trust in a lie.
Jer 28:16 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I shall cast Thee from off the face of the Earth:
        this year Thou shall die, because Thou have taught rebellion against the LORD.
Jer 28:17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Jer 29:1 And these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem,
        to the residue of the elders who were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets,
        and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Jer 29:2 (after Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem,
        and the carpenters, and the smiths, had departed from Jerusalem).
Jer 29:3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah,
        (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
Jer 29:4 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives,
        whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Jer 29:5 build ye houses, and dwell [in them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
Jer 29:6 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.
Jer 29:7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives,
        and pray to the LORD for it: for in the peace of it ye shall have peace.
Jer 29:8 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Let not your prophets and your diviners, that [are] in the middle of you, deceive you,
        neither listen to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
Jer 29:9 For they prophesy falsely to you in My name: I have not sent them, said the LORD.
Jer 29:10 For thus says the LORD, that after seventy years shall be accomplished at Babylon I shall visit you,
        and perform My good word towards you, in causing you to return to this place.
Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace,
        and not of evil, to give you a future and hope.
Jer 29:12 Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray to Me, and I shall listen to you.
Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
Jer 29:14 And I shall be found by you, said the LORD: and I shall turn away your captivity,
        and I shall gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whence I have driven you,
        said the LORD: and I shall bring you back into the place where I caused you to be carried away captive;
Jer 29:15 because ye have said, The LORD has raised up for us prophets in Babylon.
Jer 29:16
        [Know] that thus says the LORD concerning the king that sits upon the throne of David,
        and concerning all the people that dwells in this city, [and] concerning your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
Jer 29:17 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth; Behold, I shall send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence,
        and shall make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
Jer 29:18 And I shall persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence,
        and shall deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the World, to be a curse,
        and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where I have driven them:
Jer 29:19 because they have not listened to My words, said the LORD, which I sent to them by My servants the prophets,
        rising early and sending [them]; but ye would not hear, said the LORD.
Jer 29:20 Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Jer 29:21 thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel,
        concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah,
        who prophesy a lie to you in My name;
        Behold, I shall deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon;
        and he shall slay them before your eyes;
Jer 29:22 and concerning them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah who [are] in Babylon, saying,
        May the LORD make Thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
Jer 29:23 because they have committed villainy in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives,
        and have spoken lying words in My name, which I have not commanded them;
        even I know, and [AM] a Witness, said the LORD.

Jer 29:24 [Thus] shall Thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
Jer 29:25 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel, saying,
        Because Thou have sent letters in Thy name to all the people that [are] at Jerusalem,
        and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Jer 29:26 The LORD has 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 makes himself a prophet, that Thou should put him in prison, and in the stocks.
Jer 29:27 And now why have Thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you?
Jer 29:28 For therefore he sent to us [in] Babylon, saying, This [captivity is] long: build ye houses,
        and dwell [in them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Jer 29:29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jer 29:30 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 29:31 Send to all those of the captivity, saying, Thus says the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite;
        Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
Jer 29:32 therefore thus says the LORD;
        Behold, I shall punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people;
        neither shall he behold the good that I shall do for My people, said the LORD; because he has taught rebellion against the LORD.

Jer 30:6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man is giving birth?
        Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail,
        and all faces are turned into paleness?
Jer 30:7 Alas! For that day [is] great, so that none [is] like it: it [is] even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
Jer 30:8 For it shall be in that day, says the LORD of Sabaoth, [that] I shall break his yoke from off Thy neck,
        and shall burst Thy bonds, and strangers shall no more bring him into subjection:
Jer 30:9 but they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I shall raise up to them.
Jer 30:10 Therefore fear Thou not, My servant Jacob, said the LORD;

        and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
Jer 30:11 For I [AM] with Thee, said the LORD, to save Thee: though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered Thee,
        yet shall I not make a full end of Thee: but I shall correct Thee in measure, and shall not leave Thee altogether unpunished.
Jer 30:12 For thus says the LORD, Thy bruise [is] incurable, [and] Thy wound [is] grievous.
Jer 30:13 [There is] none to plead Thy cause, that Thou may be bound up: Thou have no healing medicines.
Jer 30:14 All Thy lovers have forgotten Thee; they seek Thee not; for I have wounded Thee with the wound of an enemy,
        with the chastisements of a cruel one, for the multitude of Thy iniquity; [because] Thy sins were increased.
Jer 30:15 Why cry Thou for Thy affliction?
          Thy sorrow [is] incurable for the multitude of Thy iniquity; [because] Thy sins were increased.
          I have done these [things] to Thee.
Jer 30:16 Therefore all they that devour Thee shall be devoured; and all Thy adversaries,
        every one of them shall go into captivity; and they that plunder Thee shall be a spoil,
        and all that prey upon Thee I shall give for a prey.

        save Thy people, the remnant of Israel.

Jer 31:20 [Is] Ephraim My dear son? [Is he] a pleasant child? For since I spoke against him,

Jer 31:31
        Behold, the days come, says the LORD,
        when I shall make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah: [Heb 8:8]
Jer 31:32 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, [Heb 8:9]
        and I neglected them, says the LORD.
Jer 31:33 For this [is] the Covenant that I shall make with the House of Israel after those days, says the LORD;
        giving My Laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts:
        and I shall be to them GOD, and they shall be to Me a people: [Heb 8:10]
Jer 31:34 and they shall not teach every [man] his neighbour, and every [man] his brother,
        saying, Know the LORD: for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest of them. [Heb 8:11]
        For I shall be merciful to their unrighteousness,
        and their sins and their iniquities might I remember no more. [Heb 8:12]
Jer 31:35
        Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day,
        [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night,
        who divides the sea when its waves roar;
        the LORD of Sabaoth [is] His name:

        [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.
Jer 31:37 Thus says the LORD; If Heaven above can be measured,

Jer 32:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah,
        which [was] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar}.
Jer 32:2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem:
        and Jeremiah the prophet was confined in the court of the prison,
        which [was] in the king of Judah's house.
Jer 32:3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had confined him, saying, Why do Thou prophesy, and say,
        Thus says the LORD, Behold, I shall give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
Jer 32:4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans,
        but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon,
        and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
Jer 32:5 and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, said the LORD:
        though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.

Jer 32:6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Jer 32:7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum Thy uncle shall come to Thee, saying,
        Buy for Thee my field that [is] in Anathoth: for the right of redemption [is] Thy to buy [it].
Jer 32:8 So Hanameel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison,
        according to the word of the LORD, and said to me,
        Buy my field, I pray Thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin:
        for the right of inheritance [is] Thy, and the redemption [is] Thy; buy [it] for thyself.
        Then I knew that this [was] the word of the LORD.
Jer 32:9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that [was] in Anathoth,
        and weighed him the money, seventeen shekels of silver.
Jer 32:10 And I subscribed the contract, and sealed [it], and took witnesses, and weighed [him] the money in the balances.
Jer 32:11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, [both] that which was sealed [according] to the Commandment and Statutes, and that which was open:
Jer 32:12 and I gave the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah,
        in the sight of Hanameel my uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the Book of the Purchase,
        before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
Jer 32:13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
Jer 32:14 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase,
        both that which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
Jer 32:15 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

Jer 32:16 And when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah,
        I prayed to the LORD, saying,
Jer 32:17 Ah! Lord JeHoVaH! Behold, Thou have made the Heaven and the Earth by Thy great power and out-stretched arm,
        [and] there is nothing too hard for Thee:
Jer 32:18 Thou show kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their sons after them:
        the Great, the Mighty God, LORD of Sabaoth, [is] His name.
Jer 32:19
        Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for Thy eyes [are] open upon all the ways of the sons of men:
        to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
Jer 32:20 who have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, until this day, and in Israel,
        and among [other] men; and have made Thee a name, as at this day;
Jer 32:21 and have brought forth Thy people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders,
        and with a strong hand, and with an out-stretched arm, and with great terror;
Jer 32:22 and have given them this land, which Thou did swear to their fathers to give them,
        a land flowing with milk and honey;
Jer 32:23 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 commanded them to do:
        therefore Thou have caused all this calamity to come upon them.
Jer 32:24
        Behold the mounds, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans,
        that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence:
        and what Thou have spoken is come to pass; and behold, Thou see [it].
Jer 32:25 And Thou have said to me, Lord JeHoVaH, Buy Thee the field for money,
        and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jer 32:26
        Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 32:27 Behold, I [AM] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for Me?
Jer 32:28 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I shall give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans,
        and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
Jer 32:29 and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses,
        upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink-offerings to other GODS, to provoke Me to anger.
Jer 32:30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have done evil only before Me from their youth:
        for the sons of Israel have only provoked Me to anger with the work of their hands, said the LORD.
Jer 32:31 For this city has been to Me [as] a provocation of My anger,
        and of My fury from the day that they built it until this day;
        that I should remove it from before My face,
Jer 32:32 because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and of the sons of Judah,
        which they have done to provoke Me to anger,
        they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets,
        and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Jer 32:33 And they have turned to Me the back, and not the face: though I taught them,
        rising early and teaching [them], yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
Jer 32:34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by My name, to defile it.
Jer 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom,
        to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] to Molech;
        which I commanded them not, neither came it into My heart,
        that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Jer 32:36 And now therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city,
        of which ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon,
        by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jer 32:37 Behold, I shall gather them out of all countries, where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury,
        and in great wrath; and I shall bring them back to this place, and I shall cause them to dwell in safety.
Jer 32:38 And they shall be My people, and I shall be their GOD.
Jer 32:39 And I shall give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear Me forever,
        for the good of them, and of their sons after them:
Jer 32:40 and I shall make an Everlasting Covenant with them, that I shall not turn away from them,
        to do them good; but I shall put My fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me.
Jer 32:41 And I shall rejoice over them to do them good, and I shall plant them in this land,
        assuredly with My whole heart and with My whole soul.
Jer 32:42 For thus says the LORD; As I have brought all this great calamity upon this people,
        so shall I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
Jer 32:43 And fields shall be bought in this land, of which ye say,
        [It is] desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jer 32:44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences,
        and seal [them], and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin,
        and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah,
        and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley,
        and in the cities of the south: for I shall cause their captivity to return, said the LORD.

Jer 33:1 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet confined in the court of the prison, saying,
Jer 33:2 Thus says the LORD the maker of this, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; JeHoVaH [is] His name;
Jer 33:3 Call to Me, and I shall answer Thee, and show Thee great and mighty things, which Thou know not.
Jer 33:4 For thus says 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 mounds, and by the sword;
Jer 33:5 they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but [it is] to fill them with the carcasses of men,
        whom I have slain in My anger and in My fury,
        and for all whose wickedness I have hid My face from this city.
Jer 33:6 Behold, I shall bring it health and cure, and I shall cure them,
        and shall reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
Jer 33:7 And I shall cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return,
        and shall build them, as at the first.
Jer 33:8 And I shall cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against Me;
        and I shall pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned,
        and by which they have transgressed against Me.
Jer 33:9 And it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honour before all the nations of the Earth,
        which shall hear all the good that I do to them: and they shall fear and tremble for all,
        the goodness and for all the peace that I procure to it.
Jer 33:10 Thus says the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place,
        which ye say [shall be] desolate without man and without beast,
        in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
        that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
Jer 33:11 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 Sabaoth: for the LORD [is] good:
         for His mercy [endures] forever:
        [and] of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the House of the LORD.
        For I shall cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, said the LORD.
Jer 33:12
        Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth; Again in this place, [which is] desolate without man and without beast,
        and in all its cities, shall be a habitation of shepherds causing [their] flocks to lie down.
Jer 33:13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the valley, 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 counts [them], said the LORD.
Jer 33:14
        Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that I shall perform that good thing which I have promised to the House of Israel and to the House of Judah.
Jer 33:15 In those days, and at that time, shall I cause the Branch of Righteousness to grow up to David; and He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the Earth.
Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this [is the name] by which she shall be called, JeHoVaH our Righteousness.
Jer 33:17 For thus says the LORD; David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne of the House of Israel;
Jer 33:18 neither shall the priests the Levites lack a man before Me to offer burnt-offerings, and to kindle food-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

Jer 33:19 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 33:20 Thus says the LORD; If ye can break My Covenant of the day, and My Covenant of the night,
        so that there should not be day and night in their season;
Jer 33:21 [then] also may My Covenant be broken with David My servant,
        that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne;
        and with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
Jer 33:22 As the Army of Heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured:
        so shall I multiply the seed of David My servant, and the Levites that minister to Me.
Jer 33:23
        Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 33:24 Consider Thou not what this people have spoken, saying,
        The two families which the LORD has chosen, He has even cast them off?
        And they have despised My people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
Jer 33:25 Thus says the LORD; If My Covenant [is] not with day and night,
        [and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of Heaven and Earth;
Jer 33:26 then shall I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant,
        [so] that I shall not take [any] of his seed [to be] rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
        for I shall cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

Jer 34:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD,
        when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the World of his dominion,
        and all the people fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying,
Jer 34:2 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him,
        Thus says the LORD; Behold, I shall give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
Jer 34:3 And Thou shall not escape from his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand;
        and Thy eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon,
        and he shall speak with Thee mouth to mouth, and Thou shall go to Babylon.
Jer 34:4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, Zedekiah king of Judah;
        Thus says the LORD concerning Thee, Thou shall not die by the sword:
Jer 34:5 [but] Thou shall die in peace: and with the burnings of Thy fathers, the former kings who were before Thee,
        so shall they burn [odours] for Thee; and they shall lament Thee,
        [saying], Ah lord! For I have pronounced the word, said the LORD.
Jer 34:6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Jer 34:7 when the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left,
        against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.

Jer 34:8 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD,
        after king Zedekiah had made a Covenant with all the people who [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
Jer 34:9 That every man should liberate his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant,
        [being] a Hebrew or a Hebrewess; that none should retain them in service, a Jew his brother.
Jer 34:10 Now when all the princes, and all the people who had entered into the Covenant,
        heard that every one should liberate his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant,
        that none should retain them in service any more, then they obeyed, and let [them] go.
Jer 34:11 But afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids,
        whom they had liberated, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Jer 34:12 Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jer 34:13 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a Covenant,
        with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth from the land of Egypt, out of the House of Bondage, saying,
Jer 34:14 At the end of seven years dismiss ye every man his brother a Hebrew,
        who has been sold to Thee; and when he has served Thee six years,
        Thou shall let him go free from Thee: but your fathers listened not to Me, neither inclined their ear.
Jer 34:15 And ye had now turned, and had done right in My eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour;
        and ye had made a Covenant before Me in the house which is called by My name:
Jer 34:16 but ye turned and profaned My name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid,
        whom ye had set at liberty at their [pleasure of the] soul, to return, and brought them into subjection,
        to be to you for servants and for handmaids.
Jer 34:17 Therefore thus says the LORD; Ye have not listened to Me, in proclaiming liberty,
        every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour:
        behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, said the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine;
        and I shall make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the World.
Jer 34:18
        And I shall give the men that have transgressed My Covenant,
        who have not performed the words of the Covenant which they had made before Me,
        when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts of it,
Jer 34:19 the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests,
        and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf;
Jer 34:20 I shall even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their soul:
        and their carcasses shall be for food to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the Earth.
Jer 34:21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes,
        I shall give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their soul,
        and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
Jer 34:22 Behold, I shall command, said 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 shall make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.

Jer 35:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Jer 35:2 Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the House of the LORD,
        into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
Jer 35:3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah,
        and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
Jer 35:4 And I brought them into the House of the LORD,
        into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of GOD,
        who [was] by the chamber of the princes,
        which [was] above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
Jer 35:5 and I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups,
        and I said to them, Drink ye wine.
Jer 35:6 But they said, We shall drink no wine:
        for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying,
        Ye shall drink no wine, [neither] ye, nor your sons forever:
Jer 35:7 neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard,
        nor have [any]: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents;
        that ye may live many days in the land where ye [are] strangers.
Jer 35:8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he has charged us,
        to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
Jer 35:9 nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
Jer 35:10 but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Jer 35:11
        And it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said,
        Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans,
        and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
Jer 35:12 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 35:13 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
        Will ye not receive instruction to listen to My words? Said the LORD.
Jer 35:14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine,
        are performed; for to this day they drink none, but obey their father's Commandment:
        but I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but ye listened not to Me.
Jer 35:15 I have sent also to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending [them], saying,
        Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other GODS to serve them,
        and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor listened to Me;
Jer 35:16 because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the Commandment of their father,
        which He commanded them; but this people has not listened to Me:
Jer 35:17 therefore thus says the LORD, God of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Behold, I shall bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the calamity that I have pronounced against them;
        because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.
Jer 35:18 And Jeremiah said to the House of the Rechabites, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father,
        and kept all his commandments, and done according to all that he has commanded you:
Jer 35:19 therefore thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before Me forever.

Jer 36:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
        [that] this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jer 36:2 Take Thee a roll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to Thee:
        against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations,
        from the day I spoke to Thee, from the days of Josiah, until this day.
Jer 36:3 It may be that the House of Judah shall hear all the calamity which I purpose to do to them;
        that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Jer 36:4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah:
        and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD,
        which He had spoken to him, upon a roll of a book.
Jer 36:5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I [am] confined, I cannot go into the House of the LORD:
Jer 36:6 and go Thou and read in the roll, which Thou have written from My mouth,
        the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD's House upon the day of fasting:
        and also Thou shall read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
Jer 36:7 It may be they shall present their supplication before the LORD, and shall return every one from his evil way:
        for great [is] the anger and the fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.
Jer 36:8 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.
Jer 36:9
        And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month,
        [that] they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem,
        and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.
Jer 36:10 Then Baruch read in the Book the words of Jeremiah in the House of the LORD,
        in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe,
        in the higher court, at the entry of the New Gate of the LORD's House, in the ears of all the people.
Jer 36:11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the Book all the words of the LORD,
Jer 36:12 then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and behold, all the princes sat there,
        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.
Jer 36:13 Then Michaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the Book in the ears of the people.
Jer 36:14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying,
        Take in Thy hand the roll in which Thou have read in the ears of the people, and come.
        So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came to them.
Jer 36:15 And they said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read [it] in their ears.
Jer 36:16
        And it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and another, and said to Baruch,
        We shall surely tell the king of all these words.
Jer 36:17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did Thou write all these words at his mouth?
Jer 36:18 Then Baruch answered them, he pronounced all these words to me with his mouth,
        and I wrote [them] with ink in the Book.
Jer 36:19 Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide thyself, Thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye [are].
Jer 36:20 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.
Jer 36:21 So the king sent Jehudi to bring the roll: and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama, the scribe.
        And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the king.
Jer 36:22 Now the king sat in the winter-house in the ninth month: and [there was a fire] on the hearth burning before him.
Jer 36:23
        And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi had read three or four leaves,
        he cut it with the scribe's pen-knife, 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.
Jer 36:24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, [neither] the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
Jer 36:25 But even Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll:
        but he would not hear them.
Jer 36:26 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.
Jer 36:27 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll,
        and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 36:28 Take Thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll,
        which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.
Jer 36:29 And Thou shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus says the LORD; Thou have burned this roll, saying,
        Why have Thou written in it, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land,
        and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
Jer 36:30 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah;
        he shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his carcass shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Jer 36:31 And I shall punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I shall bring upon them,
        and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah,
        all the calamity that I have pronounced against them; but they listened not.
Jer 36:32 Then Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah;
        who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire:
        and there were besides added to them many like words.

Jer 37:1 And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim,
        whom Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Jer 37:2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the words of the LORD,
        which He spoke through the prophet Jeremiah.
Jer 37:3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah,
        saying, Pray now to the LORD our God for us.
Jer 37:4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
Jer 37:5 Then Pharaoh's army had come from Egypt:
        and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Jer 37:6 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Jer 37:7 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me;
        Behold, Pharaoh's army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Jer 37:8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
Jer 37:9 Thus says the LORD; Deceive not your souls, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
Jer 37:10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you,
        and there remained [but] wounded men among them,
        [yet] would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Jer 37:11
        And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Jer 37:12 then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin,
        to separate himself thence in the middle of the people.
Jer 37:13 And when he was in the Benjamin Gate, 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 fall away to the Chaldeans.
Jer 37:14 Then said Jeremiah, [It is] false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans.
        But he listened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Jer 37:15 Therefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and beat him,
        and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Jer 37:16 When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Jer 37:17 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 shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Jer 37:18 And Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, In what have I offended against Thee,
        or against Thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Jer 37:19 Where [are] now your prophets who prophesied to you, saying,
        The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Jer 37:20 Therefore hear now, I pray Thee, 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.
Jer 37:21 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 should be consumed.
        And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

Jer 38:1 Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur,
        and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchijah,
        heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying,
Jer 38:2 Thus says the LORD, he who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
        but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his soul for a prey, and shall live.
Jer 38:3 Thus says the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
Jer 38:4 Therefore the princes said to the king, We beseech Thee, let this man be put to death:
        for thus he weakens the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people,
        in speaking such words to them: for this man seeks not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
Jer 38:5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he [is] in your hand: for the king [is] not he [that] can do [any] thing against you.
Jer 38:6 Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah 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.
Jer 38:7
        Now when Ebed-melech the Cushite, one of the eunuchs who was in the king's house,
        heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the Benjamin Gate;
Jer 38:8 Ebed-melech went out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
Jer 38:9 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 by hunger,
        in the place where he is: for [there is] no more bread in the city.
Jer 38:10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying,
        Take from hence thirty men with Thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.
Jer 38:11 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 decayed rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Jer 38:12 And Ebed-melech the Cushite said to Jeremiah,
        Put now [these] worn out clothes and rags under Thy armpits under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Jer 38:13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Jer 38:14
        Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that [is] in the House of the LORD:
        and the king said to Jeremiah, I shall ask Thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
Jer 38:15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare [it] to Thee, shall Thou not cause me dying the death?
        And if I give Thee counsel, shall Thou not listen to me?
Jer 38:16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying,
        [As] the LORD lives, that made us this soul, I shall not put Thee to death,
        neither I shall give Thee into the hand of these men that seek Thy soul.
Jer 38:17
        Then said Jeremiah to Zedekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        If Thou shall assuredly go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then Thy soul shall live,
        and this city shall not be burned with fire; and Thou shall live, and Thy house:
Jer 38:18 but if Thou shall 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 shall not escape from their hand.
Jer 38:19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah,
        I [am] afraid of the Jews that have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
Jer 38:20 But Jeremiah said,
        They shall not deliver [Thee]. Obey, I beseech Thee, the voice of the LORD,
        which I speak to Thee: so it shall be well to Thee, and Thy soul shall live.
Jer 38:21 But if Thou shall refuse to go forth, this [is] the word that the LORD has shown me:
Jer 38:22 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, the men [that were at] peace with Thee have set Thee on, and have prevailed against Thee:
        Thy feet are sunk in the mire, [and] they are turned away back.
Jer 38:23 So they shall bring out all Thy wives and Thy sons to the Chaldeans: and Thou shall not escape out of their hand,
        but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and Thou shall cause this city to be burned with fire.
Jer 38:24 Then said Zedekiah to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and Thou shall not die.
Jer 38:25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with Thee, and they come to Thee, and say to Thee,
        Explain to us now what Thou have said to the king, hide it not from us,
        and we shall not put Thee to death; also what the king said to Thee.
Jer 38:26 And Thou shall say to them, I presented my supplication before the king,
        that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
Jer 38:27 Then came all the princes to Jeremiah, and asked him:
        and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded.
        So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
Jer 38:28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken:
        and he was [there] when Jerusalem was taken.

Jer 39:1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month,
        came Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
Jer 39:2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.
Jer 39:3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate,
        Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-Sharezer, Rab-mag,
        with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Jer 39:4
        And it came to pass, when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war,
        then they fled, and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden,
        by the gate between the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
Jer 39:5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him,
        they brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
Jer 39:6 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.
Jer 39:7 And he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with copper fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Jer 39:8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jer 39:9 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.
Jer 39:10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah,
        and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Jer 39:11 Now Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying,
Jer 39:12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to Thee.
Jer 39:13 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;
Jer 39:14 even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan,
        that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
Jer 39:15
        Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, while he was confined in the court of the prison, saying,
Jer 39:16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Behold, I shall bring My words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be [accomplished] in that day before Thee.
Jer 39:17 But I shall deliver Thee in that day, said the LORD: and Thou shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom Thou [are] afraid.
Jer 39:18 For I shall surely deliver Thee, and Thou shall not fall by the sword, but Thy soul shall be for a prey to Thee: because Thou have put Thy trust in Me, said the LORD.

Jer 40:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah,
        when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah,
        who were carried away captive to Babylon.
Jer 40:2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him,
        The LORD Thy God has pronounced this evil upon this place.
Jer 40:3 Now the LORD has brought [it], and done according as He has said:
        because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed His voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
Jer 40:4 And now, behold, I loose Thee this day from the chains which [were] upon Thy hand.
        If it seems good to Thee to come with me into Babylon,
        come; and I shall look well to Thee: but if it seems ill to Thee to come with me into Babylon,
        forbear: behold, all the land [is] before Thee: where it seems good and right for Thee to go, there go.
Jer 40:5 Now while he had not yet gone back, he [said],
        Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the cities of Judah,
        and dwell with him among the people: or go wherever it seems right to Thee to go.
        So the captain of the guard gave him provisions and a reward, and let him go.
Jer 40:6 Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.

Jer 40:7 Now when all the captains of the forces who [were] in the fields, they and their men,
        heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land,
        and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land,
        of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
Jer 40:8 then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah,
        and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
Jer 40:9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men,
        saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Jer 40:10 As for me, behold, I shall dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, who shall come to us:
        but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
Jer 40:11 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;
Jer 40:12 even all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah,
        and gathered wine and summer fruits in abundance.
Jer 40:13 And Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, that [were] in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Jer 40:14 and said to him, do Thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay Thy soul?
        But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
Jer 40:15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray Thee,
        and I shall slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know [it]: why should he slay Thy soul,
        that all the Jews who are gathered to Thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?
Jer 40:16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shall not do this thing: for Thou speak falsely of Ishmael.

Jer 41:1 And it came to pass in the seventh month, [that] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal,
        and the princes of the king, even ten men with him,
        came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
Jer 41:2 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.
Jer 41:3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah,
        and the Chaldeans that were found there, [and] the men of war.
Jer 41:4
        And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew [it],
Jer 41:5 that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men,
        having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves,
        with offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring [them] to the House of the LORD.
Jer 41:6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went:
        and it came to pass, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
Jer 41:7 And it was [so], when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them,
        [and cast them] into the middle of the pit, he, and the men that [were] with him.
Jer 41:8 But ten men were found among them that said to Ishmael, Slay us not:
        for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.
        So he forbore, and slew them not among their brethren.
Jer 41:9 Now the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the carcasses of the men, whom he had slain,
        because of Gedaliah, [was] that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel:
        [and] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with [them that were] slain.
Jer 41:10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that [were] in Mizpah,
        the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah,
        whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam:
        and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the sons of Ammon.
Jer 41:11 But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that [were] with him,
        heard of all the calamity that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done.
Jer 41:12 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.
Jer 41:13
        And it came to pass, [that] when all the people who [were] with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah,
        and all the captains of the forces that [were] with him, then they were glad.
Jer 41:14 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned,
        and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
Jer 41:15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the sons of Ammon.
Jer 41:16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that [were] with him,
        took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpeh,
        after [that] he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, mighty men of war,
        and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
Jer 41:17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which [is] by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Jer 41:18 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.

Jer 42:1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah,
        and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near.
Jer 42:2 And said to Jeremiah the prophet,
        We beseech Thee, let our supplication be accepted before Thee, and pray for us to the LORD Thy God,
        for all this remnant; (for we are left [but] a few of many, as Thy eyes do behold us).
Jer 42:3 That the LORD Thy God may show us the way in which we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
Jer 42:4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I shall pray to the LORD your God according to your words;
        and it shall be, [that] whatever thing the LORD shall answer you, I shall declare [it] to you; I shall keep nothing back from you.
Jer 42:5 Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a Faithful and True witness between us,
        if we do not even according to all [things] for which the LORD Thy God shall send Thee to us;
Jer 42:6 whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we shall 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.
Jer 42:7 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.
Jer 42:8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who [were] with him,
        and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Jer 42:9 and said to them, Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel,
        to whom ye sent me to present your supplication before Him:
Jer 42:10 If ye shall still abide in this land,
        then shall I build you, and not pull [you] down,
        and I shall plant you, and not pluck [you] up:
        for I relent of the calamity that I have done to you.
Jer 42:11
        Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, said the LORD;
        for I [AM] with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Jer 42:12 And I shall show mercies to you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Jer 42:13 But if ye say, We shall not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,
Jer 42:14 saying, No; but we shall go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war,
        nor hear the voice of the shofar, nor hunger for bread; and there shall we dwell:
Jer 42:15 and now therefore hear the word of the LORD,
        ye remnant of Judah; Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
Jer 42:16 then it shall be, [that] the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt,
        and the famine of which ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
Jer 42:17 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 shall bring upon them.
Jer 42:18 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        As My anger and My fury has 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.
Jer 42:19 The LORD has said concerning you, ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt:
        know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
Jer 42:20 For ye used deceit against your souls, when ye sent me to the LORD your God, saying,
        Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God shall say,
        so explain to us, and we shall do [it].
Jer 42:21 And [now] I have this day declared [it] to you;
        but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God,
        nor anything for which He has sent me to you.
Jer 42:22 And now know certainly,
        that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence,
        in the place where ye desire to go [and] to sojourn.

Jer 43:1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God,
        for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, all these words.
Jer 43:2 Then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah,
        Thou speak falsely: the LORD our God has not sent Thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there.
Jer 43:3 But Baruch the son of Neriah sets Thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans,
        that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
Jer 43:4 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.
Jer 43:5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces,
        took all the remnant of Judah, that had returned from all nations,
        where they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
Jer 43:6 men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters,
        and every soul 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.
Jer 43:7 So they came into the land of Egypt:
        for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus they came to Tahpanhes.
Jer 43:8
        Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Jer 43:9 Take great stones in Thy hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick-kiln,
        which [is] at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the Jewish men;
Jer 43:10 and say to them, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel,
        Behold, I shall send and take Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} the king of Babylon, My servant,
        and shall set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
Jer 43:11 And when he comes, 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.
Jer 43:12 And I shall 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 puts on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
Jer 43:13 He shall break also the pillars of, Beth-shemesh{Heliopolis} that [is] in the land of Egypt;
        and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.

Jer 44:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwell in the land of Egypt,
        who dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
Jer 44:2 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Ye have seen all the calamity that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah;
        and behold, this day they [are] a desolation, and no man dwells in them;
Jer 44:3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke Me to anger,
        in that they went to burn incense, [and] to serve other GODS,
        whom they knew not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers.
Jer 44:4 Yet I sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending [them], saying,
        Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
Jer 44:5 But they listened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness,
        to burn no incense to other GODS.
Jer 44:6 Therefore My fury and My anger was poured forth,
        and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem;
        and they are wasted [and] desolate, as at this day.
Jer 44:7 Therefore now thus says the LORD, the God of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Why do ye commit [this] great evil against your souls,
        to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling,
        out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
Jer 44:8 in that ye provoke me to anger with the works of your hands,
        burning incense to other GODS in the land of Egypt,
        where ye are gone to dwell, that ye may cut yourselves off,
        and that ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the Earth?
Jer 44:9 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?
Jer 44:10 They are not humbled until this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in My Law,
        nor in My Statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
Jer 44:11 Therefore thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel;
        Behold, I shall set My face against you for calamity, and to cut off all Judah.
Jer 44:12 And I shall 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 be consumed by the sword [and] by the famine:
        they shall die, from the least even to the greatest,
        by the sword and by the famine:
        and they shall be an execration, [and] an astonishment,
        and a curse, and a reproach.
Jer 44:13 For I shall punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem,
        by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
Jer 44:14 so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt, to sojourn there,
        shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah,
        to which they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell there:
        for none shall return but such as shall escape.
Jer 44:15
        Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to other GODS,
        and all the women that stood by, a great multitude,
        even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros,
        answered Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 44:16 [As for] the word that Thou have spoken to us in the name of the LORD,
        we shall not listen to Thee.
Jer 44:17 But we shall certainly do whatever thing proceeds from our own mouth,
        to burn incense to the queen of Heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings to her,
        as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah,

        and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it [not] into His heart?

        [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;
Jer 44:23 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 has happened to you, as at this day.

Jer 51:59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah,
        when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign.

Jer 51:60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon,
        all these words that are written against Babylon.
Jer 51:61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When Thou shall come to Babylon,
        and shall see, and shall read all these words;

        that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate forever.
Jer 51:63 And it shall be, when Thou have made an end of reading this Book,
        [that] Thou shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of Euphrates:

        and they shall be weary.

        until He had cast them out from His presence,
         that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Jer 52:4
        And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month,

        and encamped against it; and built forts against it all around.
Jer 52:5 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Jer 52:6
        And in the fourth month, in the ninth [day] of the month, the famine was severe in the city,
        and there was no bread for the people of the land.
Jer 52:7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth from the city,
        by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which [was] by the king's garden;
        (now the Chaldeans [were] by the city on all sides): and they went by the way of the plain.
Jer 52:8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

        and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
Jer 52:12
        Now in the fifth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, (which [was] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar}, king of Babylon),
        came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, [who] served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
Jer 52:13 and burned the House of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem,
        and all the houses of the great [men] he burned with fire.
Jer 52:14
        And all the army of the Chaldeans, that [were] with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem on every side.

        and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away,
        that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

        and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered, they took away.
Jer 52:19 And the basins, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the cauldrons, and the lampstands, and the spoons, and the cups;
        [that] which [was] of gold [in] gold, and [that] which [was] of silver [in] silver, the captain of the guard took away.
Jer 52:20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve bronze bulls that [were] under the bases,
        which king Solomon had made in the House of the LORD:
        the bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
Jer 52:21 And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits;
        and a fillet of twelve cubits went around it;
        and the thickness of it [was] four fingers: [it was] hollow.
Jer 52:22 And a capital of bronze [was] upon it; and the height of one capital [was] five cubits,
        with net-work and pomegranates upon the capitals around,
        all of bronze. The second pillar also and the pomegranates [were] like to these.
Jer 52:23 And there were ninety six pomegranates on a side; [and] all the pomegranates upon the net-work [were] a hundred on all sides.
Jer 52:24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Jer 52:25 he took also out of the city one eunuch, who had the charge of the men of war;
        and seven men of them that were near the king's person, who were found in the city;
        and the principal scribe of the army, who mustered the people of the land;
        and sixty men of the people of the land, that were found in the middle of the city.
Jer 52:26 And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Jer 52:27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath.
        And Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
Jer 52:28 This [is] the people whom Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} carried away captive: in the seventh year,
        three thousand and twenty three Jews:
Jer 52:29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} he carried away captive from Jerusalem,
        eight hundred thirty two souls:
Jer 52:30 in the twenty third year of Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar}, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews,
        seven hundred forty five souls: all the souls [were] four thousand six hundred.
Jer 52:31
        And it came to pass in the thirty seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty fifth [day] of the month,
        [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him out of prison,
Jer 52:32 and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon,
Jer 52:33 and changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
Jer 52:34 And [for] his food there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

Eze 1:1 [Scroll 10 Ezekiel].
        And 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 Kebar,
        [that] the Heavens were opened, and I saw visions of GOD.
Eze 1:2 In the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
Eze 1:3 the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi,
        in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Kebar;
        and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
Eze 1:4 And I looked, and behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud,
        and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it,
        and from the middle of it as the colour of amber,
        from the middle of the fire.
Eze 1:5 Also from the middle of it [came] the likeness of four living beings. [Rev 4:6]
        And this [was] their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. [Rev 4:7]
Eze 1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. [Rev 4:8]
Eze 1:7 And their feet [were] straight feet;
        and the sole of their feet [was] like the sole of a calf's foot:
        and they sparkled like the colour of burnished orichalcum. [Rev 1:15]
Eze 1:8 And [they had] the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides;
        and they four had their faces and their wings.
Eze 1:9 Their wings [were] joined one to another;
        they turned not when they went;
        they went every one straight forward.
Eze 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four: [Rev 4:7]
        had the face of a man,
        and the face of a lion,
        on the right: and they four had the face of an ox,
        on the left; they four also had the face of an eagle.
Eze 1:11 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.
Eze 1:12 And they went every one straight forward:
        where the spirit was to go, they went;
        [and] they turned not when they went.
Eze 1:13 As for the likeness of the living beings, [Rev 4:6]
        their appearance [was] like burning coals of fire,
        [and] like the appearance of lamps:
        it went up and down among the living beings;
        and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
Eze 1:14 And the living beings ran and returned:
        as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Eze 1:15 Now as I beheld the living beings,
        behold one wheel upon the Earth,
        by the living beings, with his four faces.
Eze 1:16
        The appearance of the wheels and their work,
        [was] like the colour of a chrysolite: [Dan 10:6]
        and they four had one likeness:
        and their appearance and their work,
        [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
Eze 1:17 When they went, they went upon their four sides:
        [and] they returned not when they went.
Eze 1:18 As for their rims, they were so high that they were fearful;
        and their rims [were] full of eyes around them four. [Rev 4:6]
Eze 1:19 And when the living beings went, the wheels went beside them:
        and when the living beings were lifted up from the Earth,
        the wheels were lifted up.
Eze 1:20 Wherever the spirit was to go,
        they went, there [was their] spirit to go;
        and the wheels were lifted up opposed to them:
        for the spirit of the living being [was] in the wheels.
Eze 1:21 When those went, [these] went;
        and when those stood, [these] stood;
        and when those were lifted up from the Earth,
        the wheels were lifted up beside them:
        for the spirit of the living beings [was] in the wheels.
Eze 1:22 And a likeness [was] over the heads of the living being,
        a expanse as the colour of the awesome ice-crystal,
        stretched forth over their heads above.
Eze 1:23 And under the expanse [were] their wings straight,
        the one towards the other: every one had two,
        which covered on this side, and every one had two,
        which covered on that side, their bodies.
Eze 1:24 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 camp: when they stood, they let down their wings.
Eze 1:25 And there was a voice from the expanse that [was] over their heads,
        when they stood, [and] had let down their wings.
Eze 1:26
        And above the expanse 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.
Eze 1:27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire around within it,
        from the appearance of his loins even upward,
        and from the appearance of his loins even downward,
        I saw as it were the appearance of fire,
        and it had brightness on all sides.
Eze 1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain,
        so [was] the appearance of the brightness around.
        This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD.
        And when I saw [it], I fell upon my face,
        and I heard a voice of one speaking.
Eze 2:1
        And He said to me, son of man,
        stand upon Thy feet, and I shall speak to Thee.
Eze 2:2 And the Spirit entered into me when He spoke to me,
        and set me upon my feet, that I heard Him that spoke to me.
Eze 2:3
        And He said to me, son of man,
        I send Thee to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me:
        they and their fathers have transgressed against Me: to this very day.
Eze 2:4 For [they are] impudent sons and obstinate in heart.
        I send Thee to them; and Thou shall say to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 2:5 And they, whether they shall hear, or whether they shall forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house),
        yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
Eze 2:6
        And Thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words,
        though briers and thorns [are] with Thee,
        and Thou do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words,
        nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house.
Eze 2:7 And Thou shall speak My words to them, whether they shall hear,
        or whether they shall forbear: for they [are] most rebellious.
Eze 2:8
        And Thou, son of man, hear what I say to Thee;
        Be not Thou rebellious like that rebellious house:
        open Thy mouth, and eat that which I give Thee!
Eze 2:9 And when I saw, and behold, a hand [was] sent to me;
        and behold, a roll of a book [was] in it;
Eze 2:10 and He spread it before me: and it [was] written inside and backside: [Rev 5:1]
        and [there was] written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Eze 3:1
        And He said to me, son of man,
        eat what Thou find; freely eat this roll, and go, speak to the House of Israel.
Eze 3:2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that roll.
Eze 3:3 And He said to 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. [Rev 10:9-10]
Eze 3:4
        And He said to me, son of man,
        depart, go to the House of Israel, and speak with My words to them.
Eze 3:5 For Thou are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language,
        [but] to the House of Israel;
Eze 3:6 not to many people of a strange speech and of a hard language,
        whose words Thou cannot understand.
        Surely, had I sent Thee to them, they would have listened to Thee.
Eze 3:7 But the House of Israel will not listen to Thee;
        for they will not listen to Me:
        for all the House of Israel [are] impudent and hard of heart.
Eze 3:8 Behold, I have made Thy face strong against their faces,
        and Thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
Eze 3:9 As diamond harder than flint have I made Thy forehead:
        fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks,
        though they [are] a rebellious house.
Eze 3:10
        And He said to me, son of man,
        all My words that I shall speak to Thee receive in Thy heart, and hear with Thy ears.
Eze 3:11 And depart, go to them of the captivity, to the sons of Thy people, and speak to them, and tell them,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, whether they shall hear, or whether they shall forbear.
Eze 3:12 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!
Eze 3:13 [I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living beings that touched one another,
        and the noise of the wheels opposed to them, and the noise of a great rushing.
Eze 3:14 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.
Eze 3:15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-Abib, that dwelt by the river of Kebar,
        and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
Eze 3:16
        And it came to pass at the end of seven days.
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 3:17 Son of man, I have made Thee a watchman to the House of Israel:
        therefore hear the Word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me.
Eze 3:18 When I say to the wicked, Dying, Thou shall die; and Thou give him not warning,
        nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life;
        the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood shall I require at Thy hand.
Eze 3:19 Yet if Thou shall warn the wicked, and he shall not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,
        he shall die in his iniquity; but Thou have delivered Thy soul.
Eze 3:20 Again, When a righteous [man] does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity,
        and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because Thou have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin,
        and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood shall I require at Thy hand.
Eze 3:21 And if Thou shall warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin,
        he shall surely live, because he is warned; also Thou have delivered Thy soul.

Eze 3:22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and He said to me,
        Arise, go forth into the plain, and I shall there talk with Thee.
Eze 3:23 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 Kebar:
        and I fell on my face.
Eze 3:24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet,
        and spoke with me, and said to me,
        Go, shut thyself within Thy house.

Eze 3:25 And Thou, son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon Thee,
        and shall bind Thee with them, and Thou shall not go out among them:
Eze 3:26 and I shall make Thy tongue cleave to Thy mouth{palate}, that Thou shall be dumb,
        and shall not be to them a reprover: for they [are] a rebellious house.
Eze 3:27 But when I speak with Thee, I shall open Thy mouth,
        and Thou shall say to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, he who hears, let him hear;
        and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious house.

Eze 4:1 And Thou, son of man, take Thee a tile, and lay it before Thee, and portray upon it the city, (Jerusalem).
Eze 4:2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mound against it;
        set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it on every side.
Eze 4:3 And Thou take to Thee an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of iron between Thee and the city:
        and set Thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and Thou shall lay siege against it.
        This [shall be] a sign to the House of Israel.
Eze 4:4 And Thou lie upon Thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the House of Israel upon it:
        [according] to the number of the days that Thou shall lie upon it Thou shall bear their iniquity.
Eze 4:5 For I have laid upon Thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days,
        three hundred ninety days: so shall Thou bear the iniquity of the House of Israel.
Eze 4:6 And when Thou have accomplished them, lie again on Thy right side,
        and Thou shall bear the iniquity of the House of Judah forty days:
        I have appointed Thee <each day for a year>.
Eze 4:7 And Thou shall set Thy face towards the siege of Jerusalem,
        and Thy arm [shall be] uncovered, and Thou shall prophesy against it.
Eze 4:8 And behold, I shall lay bands upon Thee,
        and Thou shall not turn Thee from one side to another, until Thou have ended the days of Thy siege.
Eze 4:9 And Thou take to Thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt,
        and put them in one vessel, and make Thee bread of it,
        [according] to the number of the days that Thou shall lie upon Thy side,
        three hundred ninety days shall Thou eat of it.
Eze 4:10 And Thy food which Thou shall eat [shall be] by weight, twenty shekels a day:
        from time to time shall Thou eat it.
Eze 4:11 And Thou shall drink water by measure, the sixth [part] of a hin:
        from time to time shall Thou drink.
Eze 4:12 And Thou shall eat it [as] barley cakes, and Thou shall bake it with dung of man in their sight.
Eze 4:13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the gentiles, where I shall drive them.
Eze 4:14 Then I said, Ah! Lord JeHoVaH! Behold, my soul has not been polluted:
        for from my youth even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces;
        neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth.
Eze 4:15 Then He said to me, See, I have given Thee cow's dung for man's dung,
        and Thou shall prepare Thy bread with them.
Eze 4:16
        And He said to me, son of man,
        behold, I shall 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.
Eze 4:17 That they may lack bread and water, and be astonished one with another,
        and consume away for their iniquity.
Eze 5:1
        And Thou, son of man, take Thee a sharp sword, take Thee a barber's razor,
        and cause [it] to pass upon Thy head and upon Thy beard:
        then take to Thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].
Eze 5:2
        Thou shall burn with a flame a third [part] in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled:
        and Thou shall take a third [part], [and] smite about it with a sword:
        and a third [part] Thou shall scatter in the wind; and I shall draw out a sword after them.
Eze 5:3
        And Thou shall take of them a few in number, and bind them in Thy skirts.
Eze 5:4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire:
        from which a fire shall come forth into all the House of Israel.
Eze 5:5 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the middle of the nations and countries [that are] around her.
Eze 5:6 And she has changed My Judgments into wickedness more than the nations,
        and My Statutes more than the countries that [are] around her:
        for they have refused My Judgments and My Statutes, they have not walked in them.
Eze 5:7 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Because ye multiplied more than the nations that [are] around you, [and] have not walked in My Statutes,
        neither have kept My Judgments, neither have done according to the Judgments of the nations that [are] around you:
Eze 5:8 therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I, even I [AM] against Thee, and shall execute Judgments in the middle of Thee in the sight of the nations.
Eze 5:9 And I shall do in Thee that which I have not done, and the like to which I shall not do any more, because of all Thy abominations.
Eze 5:10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the middle of Thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers;
        and I shall execute Judgments in Thee, and the whole remnant of Thee shall I scatter into all the winds.
Eze 5:11 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Surely, because Thou have defiled My Sanctuary with all Thy detestable things, and with all Thy abominations,
        therefore I shall also diminish [Thee]; neither shall My eye spare, neither shall I have any pity.
Eze 5:12
        A third [part] of Thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the middle of Thee;
        and a third [part] shall fall by the sword around Thee;
        and I shall scatter a third [part] into all the winds, and I shall draw out a sword after them.
Eze 5:13
        Thus shall My anger be accomplished, and I shall cause My fury to rest upon them, and I shall be comforted:
        and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it] in My zeal, when I have accomplished My fury in them.
Eze 5:14 And I shall make Thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that [are] around Thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
Eze 5:15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment to the nations that [are] around Thee,
        when I shall execute Judgments in Thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken [it].
Eze 5:16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for [their] destruction,
        [and] which I shall send to destroy you: and I shall increase the famine upon you, and shall break your staff of bread:
Eze 5:17 so I shall send upon you famine and evil animals, and they shall bereave Thee;
        and pestilence and blood shall pass through Thee;
        and I shall bring the sword upon Thee.
        I the LORD have spoken [it].

Eze 6:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 6:2 Son of man, set Thy face towards the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
Eze 6:3 and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord JeHoVaH:
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys;
        Behold, I, [even] I, shall bring a sword upon you, and I shall destroy your high places.
Eze 6:4 And your Altars shall be desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken:
        and I shall cast down your slain [men] before your idols.
Eze 6:5 And I shall lay the dead carcasses of the sons of Israel before their idols;
        and I shall scatter your bones about your Altars.
Eze 6:6 In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste,
        and the high places shall be desolate;
        that your Altars may be laid waste and made desolate,
        and your idols may be broken and cease,
        and your sun-images may be cut down,
        and your works may be abolished.
Eze 6:7 And the slain shall fall in the middle of you,
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 6:8
        Yet shall 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.
Eze 6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations where they shall be carried captives,
        because I [am] broken with their apostate heart, which has departed from Me,
        and with their eyes which go astray after their idols:
        and they shall loathe themselves for the evil things which they have committed in all their abominations.
Eze 6:10 And they shall know that I [AM] the LORD,
        [and that] I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.
Eze 6:11 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Smite with Thy hand, and stamp with Thy foot,
        and say, Alas, for all the evil abominations of the House of Israel!
        For they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Eze 6:12 He who is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword;
        and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus shall I accomplish My fury upon them.
Eze 6:13 Then shall ye know that I [AM] the LORD,
        when their slain [men] shall be among their idols around their Altars,
        upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains,
        and under every green tree, and under every thick terebinth,
        the place where they offered sweet savour to all their idols.
Eze 6:14 So shall I stretch out My hand upon them, and make the land desolate,
        even, more desolate than the wilderness towards Diblath, in all their habitations:
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 7:1
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 7:2 And Thou, son of man, thus says the Lord JeHoVaH to the land of Israel;
        An end, the end is come upon the four wings{directions} of the land.
Eze 7:3 Now [is] the end [come] upon Thee, and I shall send My anger upon Thee,
        and shall judge Thee according to Thy ways,
        and shall recompense upon Thee all Thy abominations.
Eze 7:4 My eye shall not spare Thee, neither shall I have pity:
        but I shall recompense Thy ways upon Thee,
        and Thy abominations shall be in the middle of Thee:
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 7:5
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
Eze 7:6 An end is come, the end is come: it watches for Thee; behold, it is come.
Eze 7:7 The morning is come upon Thee, Thou that dwell in the land: the time is come,
        the day of trouble [is] near, and not the shouting of the mountains.
Eze 7:8 Now shall I shortly pour out My fury upon Thee, and accomplish My anger upon Thee:
        and I shall judge Thee according to Thy ways,
        and shall recompense Thee for all Thy abominations.
Eze 7:9 My eye shall not spare, neither shall I have pity:
        I shall recompense Thee according to Thy ways and Thy abominations [that] are in the middle of Thee;
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD that smites.

Eze 7:10 Behold the day, behold, it is come; the morning is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
Eze 7:11 Violence has risen into a rod of wickedness: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude,
        nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them.
Eze 7:12 The time is come, the day draws near: let not the buyer rejoice,
        nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all her multitude.
Eze 7:13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold,
        although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] concerning her whole multitude,
        [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Eze 7:14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready;
        but none goes to the battle: for My wrath [is] upon all her multitude:
Eze 7:15 the sword [is] outside, and the pestilence and the famine inside:
        he who [is] in the field shall die with the sword;
        and he who [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
Eze 7:16 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.
Eze 7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak [as] water.
Eze 7:18 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.
Eze 7:19 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 stumbling-block of their iniquity.
Eze 7:20 As for the beauty of his ornament, He set it in majesty:
        but they made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things in it:
        therefore I have given it to them for impurity.
Eze 7:21 And I shall 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.
Eze 7:22 My face shall I turn also from them, and they shall pollute My secret [place]:
        for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
Eze 7:23
        Make a chain:
        for the land is full of bloody crimes,
        and the city is full of violence.
Eze 7:24 Therefore I shall bring the worst of the heathen,
        and they shall possess their houses:
        I shall also make the pomp of the strong to cease,
        and their Holy places shall be defiled.
Eze 7:25 Destruction comes;
        and they shall seek peace,
        and [there shall be] none.

Eze 7:26 Mischief shall come upon mischief,
        and report shall be upon report;
        then shall they seek a vision of the prophet;
        but the Law shall perish from the priest,
        and counsel from the elders.
Eze 7:27 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 shall do to them after their way, and according to their deserts shall i judge them,
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.

Eze 8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month,
        [as] I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me,
        that the hand of the Lord JeHoVaH fell there upon me.
Eze 8:2 And I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire:
        from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire;
        and from his loins even upward,
        as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
Eze 8:3 And He put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of My head;
        and the Spirit lifted me up between the Earth and the Heaven,
        and brought me in the visions of GOD to Jerusalem,
        to the door of the inner gate that looks towards the north;
        where [was] the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
Eze 8:4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there,
        according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
Eze 8:5
        And He said to me, son of man,
        Lift up Thy eyes now the way towards the north.
        So I lifted up My eyes the way towards the north,
        and behold northward at the gate of the Altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
Eze 8:6
        And He said to me, son of man,
        see Thou what they do?
        The great abominations that the House of Israel;
        commits here, that I should withdraw from My Sanctuary?
        But turn Thee yet again, [and] Thou shall see greater abominations.
Eze 8:7 And He brought me to the door of the court; and I saw, and behold, a hole in the wall.
Eze 8:8 And He said to me, son of man,
        dig now in the wall: and when I had dig in the wall, behold a door.
Eze 8:9 And He said to me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
Eze 8:10 So I went in and I saw, and behold, every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts,
        and all the idols of the House of Israel, portrayed around upon the wall.
Eze 8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the House of Israel,
        and in the middle of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan,
        with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
Eze 8:12
        And He said to me, son of man,
        have Thou seen what the elders of the House of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery?
        For they say, The LORD sees us not; the LORD has forsaken the Earth.
Eze 8:13 He said also to me, Turn Thee yet again, [and] Thou shall see greater abominations that they do.
Eze 8:14 And He brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's House which [was] towards the north;
        and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Eze 8:15
        And He said to me, Have Thou seen [this], son of man?
        Turn Thee yet again, [and] Thou shall see greater abominations than these.
Eze 8:16 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 twenty five men, with their backs towards the Temple of the LORD,
        and their faces towards the east; and they worshiped the sun towards the east.
Eze 8:17
        Then He said to me, Have Thou seen [this], 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 behold, they put the branch to their nose.
Eze 8:18 Therefore shall I also deal in fury: My eye shall not spare, neither shall I have pity:
        and though they cry in my ears with a great voice, [yet] I shall not hear them.

Eze 9:1 And He cried in my ears with a great voice, saying,
        Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.
Eze 9:2 And behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lies towards the north,
        and every man a slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one Man among them [was] clothed with linen,
        with a writer's inkhorn by His loins: and they went in and stood beside the bronze Altar.
Eze 9:3 And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub on which He was, to the threshold of the House.
        And He called to the Man clothed with linen, who [had] the writer's inkhorn by His loins;
Eze 9:4 and the LORD said to him, Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem,
        and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the middle of it.
Eze 9:5 And to the others He said in My hearing,
        Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Eze 9:6 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 elderly men who [were] before the house.
Eze 9:7 And He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Eze 9:8
        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 JeHoVaH! Will Thou destroy all the residue of Israel in Thy pouring out of Thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Eze 9:9 And He said to me, The iniquity of the House of Israel and Judah [is] exceedingly great,
        and the land [is] full of blood, and the city full of perverseness:
        for they say, The LORD has forsaken the Earth, and the LORD sees not.
Eze 9:10 And as for me also, My eye shall not spare, neither shall I have pity,
        [but] I shall recompense their way upon their head.
Eze 9:11
        And behold, the Man clothed with linen, who [had] the inkhorn by His loins,
        reported the matter, saying, I have done as Thou have commanded me.

Eze 10:1 And I saw, and behold, in the expanse 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.
Eze 10:2 And He spoke to the Man clothed with linen,
        and He said, Go in between the wheels, under the cherub,
        and fill Thy hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim,
        and scatter [them] over the city. And He entered in my sight.
Eze 10:3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house,
        when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
Eze 10:4 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 glory of the LORD.
Eze 10:5 And the sound of the cherubim's wings was heard to the outer court,
        as the voice of God Almighty when He speaks.
Eze 10:6 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.
Eze 10:7 And [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim,
        to the fire that [was] between the cherubim,
        and took [of it], and put [it] into the hands of him,
        [that was] clothed with linen: who took [it], and went out.
Eze 10:8
        And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.
Eze 10:9 And I saw, and behold, the four wheels by the cherubim,
        one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub:
        and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the colour of a chrysolite stone.
Eze 10:10 And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness,
        as if a wheel had been in the middle of a wheel.
Eze 10:11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went,
        but to the place where the head looked, they followed it; they turned not as they went.
Eze 10:12 And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings,
        and the wheels, [were] full of eyes on every side, the wheels that they four had.
Eze 10:13 As for the wheels, it was cried to them in My hearing, wheel.
Eze 10:14 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.
Eze 10:15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This [is] the living being that I saw by the river of Kebar.
Eze 10:16 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.
Eze 10:17 When they stood, [these] stood; and when they were lifted up,
        [these] lifted up themselves [also]: for the spirit of the living being [was] in them.
Eze 10:18 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the House,
        and stood over the cherubim.
Eze 10:19 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.
Eze 10:20 This [is] the living being that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Kebar;
        and I knew that they [were] the cherubim.
Eze 10:21 Every one had four faces each, and every one four wings; [Rev 4:8]
        and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.
Eze 10:22 And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which I saw by the river of Kebar,
        their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.

Eze 11:1 And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the East Gate of the LORD's House,
        which looks eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate twenty five men;
        among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Eze 11:2
        And He said to me, son of man,
        these [are] the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
Eze 11:3 who say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this [city is] the cauldron, and we [are] the flesh.
Eze 11:4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man.
Eze 11:5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said to me,
        Speak; Thus says the LORD; Thus have ye said, House of Israel:
        for I know the things that come into your mind, [every one of] them.
Eze 11:6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city,
        and ye have filled its streets with the slain.
Eze 11:7 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Your slain whom ye have laid in the middle of it,
        they [are] the flesh, and this [city is] the cauldron:
        but I shall bring you out out of the middle of it.
Eze 11:8 Ye have feared the sword; and I shall bring a sword upon you,
        says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 11:9 And I shall bring you out of the middle of it,
        and deliver you into the hands of strangers,
        and shall execute Judgments among you.
Eze 11:10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I shall judge you in the border of Israel;
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 11:11
        This [city] shall not be your cauldron,
        neither shall ye be the flesh in the middle of it;
        [but] I shall judge you in the border of Israel:
Eze 11:12 and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD:
        for ye have not walked in My Statutes, neither executed My Judgments,
        but have done after the manners of the heathen that [are] around you.
Eze 11:13
        And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died.
        Then I fell down upon My face, and cried with a great voice,
        and said, Ah! Lord JeHoVaH! Will Thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
Eze 11:14
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 11:15 Son of man, Thy brethren, Thy brethren,
        the men of Thy kindred, and all the House of Israel wholly,
        [are] they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said,
        Retire far from the LORD: to us is this land given in possession.
Eze 11:16 Therefore say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Although I have cast them far off among the heathen,
        and although I have scattered them among the countries,
        yet shall I be to them as a little Sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
Eze 11:17 Therefore say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        I shall even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries,
        where ye have been scattered, and I shall give you the land of Israel.
Eze 11:18 And they shall come there,
        and they shall take away from thence all its detestable things, and all its abominations.
Eze 11:19 And I shall give them one heart, and a new spirit shall I put within you;
        and I shall take the stony heart out of their flesh,
        and shall give them a heart of flesh:
Eze 11:20 that they may walk in My Statutes, and keep My ordinances,
        and do them: and they shall be My people, and I shall be their GOD.
Eze 11:21 But [as for them] whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations,
        I shall recompense their way upon their own heads, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 11:22 Then the cherubim raised their wings, and the wheels beside them;
        and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.
Eze 11:23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the middle of the city,
        and stood upon the mountain which [is] on the east side of the city.
Eze 11:24 And the Spirit took me up, and brought me in vision by the Spirit of GOD into Chaldea,
        to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Eze 11:25 Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.

Eze 12:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 12:2 Son of man,
        Thou dwell in the middle of a rebellious house,
        who have eyes to see, and see not;
        they have ears to hear, and hear not:
        for they [are] a rebellious house.
Eze 12:3 And Thou, son of man, prepare Thee stuff for exile, and move by day in their sight;
        and Thou shall move from Thy place to another place in their sight;
        it may be they shall consider, though they [are] a rebellious house.
Eze 12:4 Then shall Thou bring forth Thy stuff by day in their sight,
        as stuff for exile: and Thou shall go forth at evening in their sight,
        as they that go forth into captivity.
Eze 12:5 Dig Thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
Eze 12:6 In their sight shall Thou bear [it] upon [Thy] shoulders, [and] carry [it] forth in the dark:
        Thou shall cover Thy face, that Thou may not see the ground:
        for I have set Thee [for] a sign to the House of Israel.
Eze 12:7 And I did so as I was commanded:
        I brought forth My stuff by day, as stuff for captivity,
        and in the evening I dig through the wall with My hand;
        I brought [it] forth in the dark, [and] I bore [it] upon My shoulder in their sight.
Eze 12:8
        And in the morning came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 12:9 Son of man, has not the House of Israel, the rebellious house,
        said to Thee, What do Thou?
Eze 12:10 Say Thou to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the House of Israel that [are] among them.
Eze 12:11 Say, I [am] your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.
Eze 12:12 And the prince that [is] among them shall bear upon [his] shoulder in the dark,
        and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby:
        he shall cover his face, that he may not see the ground with [his] eyes.
Eze 12:13 My net also shall I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare:
        and I shall bring him to Babylon [to] the land of the Chaldeans,
        yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
Eze 12:14 And I shall scatter towards every wind all that [are] about him to help him,
        and all his bands; and I shall draw out the sword after them.
Eze 12:15 And they shall know that I [AM] the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations,
        and disperse them in the countries.
Eze 12:16 But I shall leave a [few] number of men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence;
        that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen where they come;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 12:17
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 12:18 Son of man, eat Thy bread with quaking, and drink Thy water with trembling and with solicitude.
Eze 12:19 And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH of the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
        [and] of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with solicitude,
        and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is in it,
        because of the violence of all them that dwell in it.
Eze 12:20 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.
Eze 12:21
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 12:22 Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel, saying,
        The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
Eze 12:23 Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, I shall make this proverb to cease,
        and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them,
        The days are near, and the matter of every vision.
Eze 12:24 For there shall no more be any vain vision nor flattering divination within the House of Israel.
Eze 12:25 For I [AM] the LORD: I shall speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be;
        it shall no more be prolonged: for in your days,
        rebellious house, shall I say the word, and shall perform it, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 12:26
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 12:27 Son of man, behold, [they of] the House of Israel say,
        The vision that he sees [is] for many days [to come],
        and he prophesies of the times [that are] distant.
Eze 12:28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        There shall none of My words be further deferred,
        but the word which I have spoken shall be done, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 13:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 13:2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy,
        and say Thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts,
        Hear ye the word of the LORD;
Eze 13:3 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit,
        and have seen nothing!
Eze 13:4 Israel, Thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
Eze 13:5 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.
Eze 13:6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying,
        The LORD said: but the LORD has not sent them:
        and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.
Eze 13:7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination,
        whereas ye say, The LORD said [it], although I have not spoken?
Eze 13:8 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; Because ye have spoken vanity,
        and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [AM] against you, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 13:9
        My hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies:
        they shall not be in the assembly of My people,
        neither shall they be written in the writing of the House of Israel,
        neither shall they enter into the land of Israel;
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 13:10
        Because, even because they have seduced My people,
        saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace;
        and one built up a wall,
        and behold, others daubed it with plaster:
Eze 13:11 say to them who daub [it] with plaster,
        that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower;
        and ye, great hail, shall fall;
        and a stormy wind shall rend [it].
Eze 13:12 Behold, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you,
        Where [is] the daubing with which ye have daubed [it]?
Eze 13:13 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        I shall even rend [it] with a stormy wind in My fury;
        and there shall be an overflowing shower in My anger,
        and great hail in My fury to consume [it].
Eze 13:14 So shall I break down the wall that ye have daubed with plaster,
        and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare,
        and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the middle of it:
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 13:15
        Thus shall I accomplish My wrath upon the wall,
        and upon them that have daubed it with plaster,
        and shall say to you, The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it;
Eze 13:16 the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem,
        and who see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 13:17
        And Thou, son of man, set Thy face against the daughters of Thy people,
        who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy Thou against them,
Eze 13:18 and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all armpits,
        and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls!
        Will ye hunt the souls of My people, and shall ye save the souls alive [that come] to you?
Eze 13:19 And shall ye profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread,
        to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live,
        by your lying to My people that hear [your] lies?
Eze 13:20 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I [AM] against your pillows,
        with which ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly,
        and I shall tear them from your arms, and shall let the souls go,
        the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.
Eze 13:21 Your kerchiefs also shall I tear,
        and deliver My people out of your hand,
        and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted;
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 13:22
        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:
Eze 13:23 therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations:
        for I shall deliver My people out of your hand:
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.

Eze 14:1 Then came some of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me.

Eze 14:2 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 14:3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart,
        and put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their face:
        should I be inquired of at all by them?
Eze 14:4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Every man of the House of Israel that sets up his idols in his heart,
        and puts the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face,
        and comes to the prophet;
        I the LORD shall answer him that comes according to the multitude of his idols;
Eze 14:5 that I may take the House of Israel in their own heart,
        because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
Eze 14:6 Therefore say to the House of Israel, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols;
        and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Eze 14:7 For every one of the House of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourners in Israel,
        who separates himself from Me, and sets up his idols in his heart,
        and puts the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face,
        and comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me;
        I the LORD shall answer him by Myself.
Eze 14:8 And I shall set My face against that man, and shall make him a sign and a proverb,
        and I shall cut him off from the middle of My people;
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 14:9
        And if the prophet be deceived when he has spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet,
        and I shall stretch out My hand upon him, and shall destroy him from the middle of My people Israel.
Eze 14:10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity:
        the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeks [to him];
Eze 14:11 That the House of Israel may no more go astray from Me,
        neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be My people,
        and I may be their GOD, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 14:12 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 14:13 Son of man, when the land sins against Me by trespassing grievously,
        then shall I stretch out My hand upon it, and shall break the staff of bread and shall send famine upon it,
        and shall cut off man and beast from it:
Eze 14:14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job,
        were in it, they should deliver their own souls only by their righteousness, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 14:15 If I cause noisome animals to pass through the land, and they lay it waste, so that it be desolate,
        that no man may pass through because of the animals:
Eze 14:16 [though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate;
Eze 14:17 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:
Eze 14:18 though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves;
Eze 14:19 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:
Eze 14:20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall deliver their own souls only by their righteousness.
Eze 14:21 For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; How much more when I send My four severe Judgments upon Jerusalem,
        the sword, and the famine, and the noisome animal, and the pestilence,
        to cut off from it man and beast?
Eze 14:22 Yet behold, in it shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, [both] sons and daughters:
        behold, they shall come forth to you, and ye shall see their way and their doings:
        and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem,
        concerning all that I have brought upon it.
Eze 14:23 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, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 15:1
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 15:2 Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree,
        [or than] a Branch which is among the trees of the forest?
Eze 15:3 Shall wood be taken of it to do any work?
        Or shall [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel upon it?
Eze 15:4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both the ends of it,
        and the middle of it is burned. Is it suitable for [any] work?
Eze 15:5 Behold, when it was whole, it was fit for no work:
        how much less then shall it be fit for [any] work,
        when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?
Eze 15:6 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest,
        which I have given to the fire for fuel,
        so I shall give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Eze 15:7 And I shall 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.
Eze 15:8 And I shall make the land desolate,
        because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 16:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
Eze 16:3 and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH to Jerusalem;
        Thy birth and Thy nativity [is] of the land of Canaan;
        Thy father [was] an Amorite, and Thy mother a Hittite.
Eze 16:4 And [as for] Thy nativity,
        in the day Thou were born Thy navel was not cut,
        and Thou were not washed in water to cleanse [Thee];
        and Thou were not salted at all, and not swaddled at all.
Eze 16:5 No eye pitied Thee, to do any of these to Thee,
        to have compassion upon Thee;
        but Thou were cast out in the open field,
        to the loathing of Thy soul,
        in the day that Thou were born.
Eze 16:6 And when I passed by Thee,
        and I saw Thee polluted in Thy own blood,
        and I said to Thee [when Thou were] in Thy blood, Live;
        and I said to Thee [when Thou were] in Thy blood, Live.
Eze 16:7 I have caused Thee to multiply as the bud of the field,
        and Thou have increased and become great,
        and Thou are come to excellent ornaments:
        [Thy] breasts are fashioned, and Thy hair is grown,
        whereas Thou [were] naked and bare.
Eze 16:8 Now when I passed by Thee, and looked upon Thee,
        and behold, Thy time [was] the time of love;
        and I spread My skirt over Thee, and covered Thy nakedness:
        and I swore to Thee, and entered into a Covenant with Thee,
        says the Lord JeHoVaH, and Thou became Mine.
Eze 16:9 And I washed Thee with water;
        and I thoroughly washed away Thy blood from Thee,
        and I anointed Thee with oil.
Eze 16:10 And I clothed Thee with broidered work, and shod Thee with badgers' skin,
        and I girded Thee with fine linen, and I covered Thee with silk.
Eze 16:11 And I decked Thee with ornaments,
        and I put bracelets upon Thy hands,
        and a chain on Thy neck.
Eze 16:12 And I put a ring on Thy face, and rings in Thy ears,
        and a beautiful crown upon Thy head.
Eze 16:13 And Thou were decked with gold and silver;
        and Thy clothing [was of] fine linen, and silk,
        and broidered work;
        Thou did eat fine flour, and honey, and oil:
        and Thou were exceeding beautiful,
        and Thou did prosper into a kingdom.
Eze 16:14 And Thy renown went forth among the heathen for Thy beauty:
        for it [was] perfect through My comeliness,
        which I had put upon Thee, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 16:15
        But Thou did trust in Thy own beauty,
        and played the whore because of Thy renown,
        and poured out Thy fornication on every one that passed by; his it was.
Eze 16:16 And of Thy garments Thou did take, and deck Thy high places with diverse colours,
        and play the whore upon them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].
Eze 16:17 Thou have also taken Thy fair jewels of My gold and of My silver,
        which I had given Thee, and have made to thyself images of a male,
        and have committed whoredom with them.
Eze 16:18 And have taken Thy broidered garments, and covered them:
        and Thou have set My oil and My incense before them.
Eze 16:19 My provisions also which I gave Thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey,
        [with which] I fed Thee, Thou have even set before them for a sweet savour:
        and [thus] it was, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 16:20
        And Thou have taken Thy sons and Thy daughters, whom Thou have borne to Me,
        and these have Thou sacrificed to them to be devoured.
        [Is this] of Thy fornication a small matter,
Eze 16:21 that Thou have slain my sons, and delivered them to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?
Eze 16:22 And in all Thy abominations and Thy fornications Thou have not remembered the days of Thy youth,
        when Thou were naked and bare, [and] were polluted in Thy blood.
Eze 16:23
        And it came to pass after all Thy wickedness, woe, woe to Thee, says the Lord JeHoVaH!
Eze 16:24 [That] Thou have also built to Thee an eminent place, and have made Thee a high place in every street.
Eze 16:25 Thou have built Thy high place at every head of the way, and have made Thy beauty to be abhorred,
        and have opened Thy feet to every one who passed by, and multiplied Thy fornication.
Eze 16:26 Thou have also played the whore with the Egyptians Thy neighbours,
        great of flesh; and have multiplied Thy fornication, to provoke Me to anger.
Eze 16:27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out My hand over Thee, and have diminished Thy portion,
        and delivered Thee to the [will of the] soul of them that hate Thee,
        the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of Thy lewd way.
Eze 16:28 Thou have played the whore also with the sons of Ashur{Assyria}, because Thou were insatiable;
        and Thou have played the whore with them, and yet could not be satisfied.
Eze 16:29 And Thou have multiplied Thy fornication in the land of Canaan to Chaldea;
        and yet with this Thou were not satisfied.
Eze 16:30 How weak is Thy heart, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        seeing Thou do all these [things], the work of an imperious whore woman;
Eze 16:31 in that Thou build Thy eminent place in the head of every way,
        and make Thy high place in every street;
        and have not been as a whore, in that Thou scorn hire;
Eze 16:32 [but as] a wife that commits adultery, [who] takes strangers instead of her husband!
Eze 16:33 They give gifts to all whores: but Thou give Thy gifts to all Thy lovers,
        and hire them, that they may come to Thee on every side for Thy whoredom.
Eze 16:34 And the contrary is in Thee from [other] women in Thy fornications,
        that none follows Thee to play the whore: and in that Thou give a reward,
        and no reward is given to Thee, therefore Thou are contrary.
Eze 16:35 Therefore, whore, hear the word of the LORD:
Eze 16:36 thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; Because Thy filthiness was poured out,
        and Thy nakedness exposed through Thy fornication with Thy lovers,
        and with all the idols of Thy abominations, and by the blood of Thy sons,
        which Thou did give to them;
Eze 16:37 behold therefore, I shall gather all Thy lovers,
        with whom Thou have taken pleasure,
        and all [them] that Thou have loved, with all [them] that Thou have hated;
        I shall even gather them on every side against Thee,
        and shall uncover Thy nakedness to them, that they may see all Thy nakedness.
Eze 16:38 And I shall judge Thee with judgments of adulteresses, and shed blood are judged;
        and I shall give Thee blood in fury and jealousy.
Eze 16:39 And I shall give Thee into their hand, and they shall throw down Thy eminent place,
        and shall break down Thy high places: they shall strip Thee also of Thy clothes,
        and shall take Thy fair jewels, and leave Thee naked and bare.
Eze 16:40 They shall also bring up a company against Thee,
        and they shall stone Thee with stones,
        and thrust Thee through with their swords.
Eze 16:41 And they shall burn Thy houses with fire,
        and execute Judgments upon Thee in the sight of many women:
        and I shall cause Thee to cease from playing the whore,
        and Thou also shall give no hire any more.
Eze 16:42 So shall I make My fury towards Thee to rest,
        and My jealousy shall depart from Thee,
        and I shall be quiet, and shall be no more angry;
Eze 16:43 because Thou have not remembered the days of Thy youth,
        but have provoked Me in all these [things]; behold therefore,
        I also shall recompense Thy way upon [Thy] head,
        says the Lord JeHoVaH:
        and Thou shall not commit this lewdness above all Thy abominations.
Eze 16:44 Behold, every one that uses proverbs shall use [this] proverb against Thee,
        saying, As [is] the mother, [so is] her daughter.
Eze 16:45 Thou [are] Thy mother's daughter, that loathes her husband and her sons;
        and Thou [are] the sister of Thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their sons:
        your mother [was] a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Eze 16:46 And Thy elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at Thy left [hand]:
        and Thy younger sister, that dwells at Thy right [hand], [is] Sodom and her daughters.
Eze 16:47 Yet have Thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations:
        but as [if that were] a very little [thing], Thou were corrupted more than they in all Thy ways.
Eze 16:48 [As] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH, Sodom Thy sister has not done, she nor her daughters,
        as Thou have done, Thou and Thy daughters.
Eze 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of Thy sister Sodom,
        pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters,
        neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Eze 16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before Me:
        therefore I took them away as I saw [good];
Eze 16:51 neither has Samaria committed half of Thy sins;
        but Thou have multiplied Thy abominations more than they,
        and have justified Thy sisters in all Thy abominations which Thou have done.
Eze 16:52 Thou also, who have judged Thy sisters, bear Thy own shame for Thy sins;
        that Thou have committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than Thou:
        yes, be Thou confounded also, and bear Thy shame, in that Thou have justified Thy sisters.
Eze 16:53 When I shall bring back their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters,
        and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then the captivity of Thy captives in the middle of them:
Eze 16:54 that Thou may bear Thy own shame, and may be confounded in all that Thou have done, in that Thou are a comfort to them.
Eze 16:55 When Thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former state,
        and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former state,
        then Thou and Thy daughters shall return to your former state.
Eze 16:56 For Thy sister Sodom was not for a report by Thy mouth in the day of Thy pride,
Eze 16:57 before Thy wickedness was disclosed, as at the time of [Thy] reproach of the daughters of Syria,
        and all [that are] around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise Thee on every side.
Eze 16:58 Thou have borne Thy lewdness and Thy abominations, said the LORD.
Eze 16:59 For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; I shall even deal with Thee as Thou have done,
        who have despised the oath in breaking the Covenant.
Eze 16:60 And I shall remember My Covenant with Thee in the days of Thy youth,
        and I shall establish to Thee an Everlasting Covenant.
Eze 16:61 Then Thou shall remember Thy ways, and be ashamed, when Thou shall receive Thy sisters,
        Thy elder and Thy younger: and I shall give them to Thee for daughters, but not by Thy Covenant.
Eze 16:62 And I shall establish My Covenant with Thee; and Thou shall know that I [AM] the LORD:
Eze 16:63 that Thou may remember, and be confounded, and never open Thy mouth any more because of Thy shame,
        when I [AM] pacified towards Thee for all that Thou have done, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 17:1 {Parable of the eagles and the vine}.
         Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 17:2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the House of Israel;
Eze 17:3 and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
         A great eagle with great wings, long-winged, full of feathers,
         which had diverse colours, came to Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
Eze 17:4 he cropped off the top of its young twigs,
         and carried it into a land of traffic; He set it in a city of merchants;
Eze 17:5 he took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a field of seed;
        He placed [it] by great waters, [and] set it [as] a willow tree.
Eze 17:6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature,
        whose branches turned towards him, and its roots were under him:
        so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Eze 17:7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers:
        and behold, this vine did bend her roots towards him,
        and shot forth her branches towards him,
        that He might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
Eze 17:8 It was planted in a good ground by great waters, that it might bring forth branches,
        and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
Eze 17:9 Say Thou, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Shall it prosper?
        Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither?
        It shall wither in all the leaves of her spring,
        even without a mighty arm or many people to pluck it up by its roots.
Eze 17:10 And behold, [being] planted, shall it prosper?
        Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it?
        It shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
Eze 17:11
         Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 17:12 Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these [things mean]?
        Tell [them], Behold, the king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, and has taken its king,
        and its princes, and led them with him to Babylon;
Eze 17:13 and has taken of the king's seed, and made a Covenant with him,
        and has taken an oath from him: he has also taken the mighty of the land:
Eze 17:14 that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up,
        [but] that by keeping His Covenant it might stand.
Eze 17:15 But he rebelled against him in sending his messengers into Egypt,
        that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper?
        Shall he escape that does such [things]? Or shall he break the Covenant, and be delivered?
Eze 17:16 [As] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        surely in the place [where] the king [dwells] that made him king,
        whose oath he despised, and whose Covenant he broke,
        with him in the middle of Babylon he shall die;
Eze 17:17 neither shall Pharaoh with [his] mighty army and great company make for him in the war,
        by casting mounds, and building forts, to cut off many souls:
Eze 17:18 seeing he despised the oath by breaking the Covenant,
        when behold, he had given his hand, and has done all these [things], he shall not escape.
Eze 17:19 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        [As] I live, surely My oath that he has despised, and My Covenant that he has broken,
        even that shall I recompense upon his own head.
Eze 17:20 And I shall spread My net upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare,
        and I shall bring him to Babylon,
        and shall plead with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against Me.
Eze 17:21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword,
        and they that remain shall be scattered towards all winds:
        and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it].
Eze 17:22 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, I shall also take of the highest branch of the high cedar,
        and shall set [it]; I shall crop off from the top of its young twigs a tender one,
        and shall plant [it] upon a high mountain and eminent:
Eze 17:23 in the mountain of the height of Israel shall I plant it:
        and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar:
        and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of its branches shall they dwell.
Eze 17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree,
        have exalted the low tree, have dried up the fresh tree,
        and have made the dry tree to flourish:
        I the LORD have spoken and have done [it].

Eze 18:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 18:2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying,
        The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the sons' teeth are set on edge. [Jer 31:29]
Eze 18:3 [As] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine;
        as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine:
        the soul that sins, it shall die.
Eze 18:5 But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,
Eze 18:6 [and] has not eaten upon the mountains,
        neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the House of Israel,
        neither has defiled his neighbour's wife,
        neither has come near to a polluted woman,
Eze 18:7 and has not oppressed any,
        [but] has restored to the debtor his pledge, has stripped none by violence,
        has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment.
Eze 18:8 He [that] has not given forth upon interest,
        neither has taken any increase, [that] has withdrawn his hand from iniquity,
        has executed true judgment between man and man.
Eze 18:9 He has walked in My Statutes, and has kept My Judgments,
        to deal truly; he [is] just, he shall surely live, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 18:10 If he begets a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood,
        and [that] does to his brother one of these [things],
Eze 18:11 and that does not any of those [duties],
        but even has eaten upon the mountains,
        and defiled his neighbour's wife.
Eze 18:12 He has oppressed the poor and needy,
        has stripped by violence, has not restored the pledge,
        and has lifted up his eyes to the idols,
        has committed abomination.
Eze 18:13 He has given forth upon interest,
        and has taken increase: shall he then live?
        He shall not live: he has done all these abominations;
        dying, he shall die; his blood shall be upon him.
Eze 18:14 Now behold, [if] he begets a son, that sees all his father's sins,
        which he has done, and considers, and does not such like,
Eze 18:15 [and] has not eaten upon the mountains,
        neither has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the House of Israel,
         has not defiled his neighbour's wife,
Eze 18:16 neither has oppressed any,
        has not withheld the pledge, neither has stripped by violence,
        [but] has given his bread to the hungry,
        and has covered the naked with a garment,
Eze 18:17 [that] has taken off his hand from the poor,
        [that] has not received interest nor increase,
        has executed My Judgments, has walked in My Statutes;
        he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
Eze 18:18 [As for] his father, because he cruelly oppressed, stripped his brother by violence,
        and did [that] which [is] not good among his people, behold, even he shall die in his iniquity.
Eze 18:19 Yet say ye, Why? Does not the son bear the iniquity of the father?
        When the son has done that which is lawful and right,
        [and] has kept all My Statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
Eze 18:20 The <soul that sins, it shall die>. <The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father>,
        neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:
        the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him,
        and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Eze 18:21 But if the wicked shall turn from all his sins that he has committed,
        and keep all My Statutes, and do that which is lawful and right,
        he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Eze 18:22 All his transgressions that he has committed, they shall not be mentioned to him:
        in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
Eze 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?
        Says the Lord JeHoVaH:
        [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Eze 18:24 But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity,
        [and] does according to all the abominations that the wicked [man] does, shall he live?
        All his righteousness that he has done shall not be mentioned:
        in his trespass that he has trespassed,
        and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.
Eze 18:25
        Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not fair.
        Hear now, House of Israel; Is not My way fair?
        Are not your ways unfair?
Eze 18:26
        When a righteous [man] turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity,
        and dies in them; for his iniquity that he has done shall he die.
Eze 18:27 Again, when a wicked [man] turns away from his wickedness that he has committed,
        and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive;
Eze 18:28 because he considers and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed,
        he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Eze 18:29
        Yet said the House of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal.
        House of Israel, are not My ways equal?
        Are not your ways unequal?
Eze 18:30
        Therefore I shall judge you, House of Israel,
        every one according to his ways, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
        Repent, and turn [yourselves] from all your transgressions;
        so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Eze 18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which ye have transgressed;
        and make you a new heart and a new spirit:
        for why shall ye die, House of Israel?
Eze 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dies,
        says the Lord JeHoVaH: therefore turn [ye], and live.

Eze 19:1 {Lamentation for the princes of Israel}.
        And take Thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Eze 19:2 and say, What [is] Thy mother: A lioness: she lay down among lions,
        she nourished her whelps among young lions.
Eze 19:3 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion,
        and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
Eze 19:4 The nations also heard of him. He was taken in their pit,
        and they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt.
Eze 19:5 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.
Eze 19:6 And he went up and down among the lions, He became a young lion,
        and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men.
Eze 19:7 And he knew their widows{desolated places}, and he laid waste their cities;
        and the land was desolate, and the fullness of it, by the noise of his roaring.
Eze 19:8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces,
        and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
Eze 19:9 And they put him in custody 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.
Eze 19:10 Thy mother [is] like a vine in Thy blood, planted by the waters:
        she was fruitful and full of branches because of Many waters.
Eze 19:11 And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bore rule,
        and her stature was exalted among the thick branches,
        and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
Eze 19:12 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.
Eze 19:13 And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
Eze 19:14 And fire has gone out of a rod of her branches, [which] has devoured her fruit,
        so that she has no strong rod [to be] a sceptre to rule.
        This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

Eze 20:1 And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], the tenth [day] of the month,
        [that] some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

Eze 20:2 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 20:3 Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Are ye come to inquire of Me?
        [As] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH, I shall not be inquired by you.

Eze 20:4 Will Thou judge them, son of man, shall Thou judge [them]?
        Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers.

Eze 20:5 And say to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up My hand to the seed of the House of Jacob,
        and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt,
        when I lifted up My hand to them, saying, I [AM] the LORD your God.
Eze 20:6 In the day [that] I lifted up My hand to them,
        to bring them forth from the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them,
        flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands.
Eze 20:7 And I said to them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes,
        and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I [AM] the LORD your God.
Eze 20:8 But they rebelled against Me, and would not listen to Me:
        they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes,
        neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt:
        then I said, to pour out My fury upon them,
        to accomplish My anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt.
Eze 20:9 But I wrought for My name's sake,
        that it should not be profaned before the heathen,
        among whom they [were], in whose sight I made Myself known to them,
        in bringing them forth from the land of Egypt.
Eze 20:10 Therefore I caused them to go forth from the land of Egypt,
        and brought them into the wilderness.
Eze 20:11 And I gave them My Statutes, and showed them My Judgments,
        which [if] a man does, he shall even live in them.
Eze 20:12
        And also I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them,
        that they might know that I [AM] JeHoVaH your Sanctifier.
Eze 20:13 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 does, he shall even live in them;
        and My Sabbaths they greatly profaned:
        then I said, to pour out My fury upon them,
        in the wilderness, to consume them.
Eze 20:14 But I wrought for My name's sake,
        that it should not be profaned before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
Eze 20:15 Yet also I lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness,
        that I would not bring them into the land which I had given [them],
        flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands;
Eze 20:16 because they despised My Judgments,
        and walked not in My Statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths:
        for their heart went after their idols.
Eze 20:17 And My eye spared them from destroying them,
        neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
Eze 20:18 But I said to their sons in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers,
        neither observe their Judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
Eze 20:19 I [AM] the LORD your God; walk in My Statutes, and keep My Judgments, and do them;
Eze 20:20 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.
Eze 20:21
        And the sons rebelled against Me:
        they walked not in My Statutes, neither kept My Judgments to do them,
        which [if] a man does, he shall even live in them:
        they profaned My Sabbaths:
        then I said, to pour out My fury upon them,
        to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.
Eze 20:22 And I withdrew My hand, and wrought for My name's sake,
        that it should not be profaned in the sight of the heathen,
        in whose sight I brought them forth.
Eze 20:23 I lifted up My hand to them also in the wilderness,
        to scatter them among the heathen,
        and disperse them through the countries;
Eze 20:24 because they had not executed My Judgments,
        but had despised My Statutes, and had profaned My Sabbaths,
        and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
Eze 20:25 Therefore I gave them over to Statutes [that were] not good,
        and Judgments by which they should not live;
Eze 20:26 and I polluted them in their own gifts,
        in that they caused all that opens the womb [first] to pass through [the fire],
        that I might make them desolate, to the end,
        that they might know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 20:27
        Therefore, son of man, speak to the House of Israel, and say to them,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed Me,
        in that they have committed a trespass against Me.
Eze 20:28 [For] when I had brought them into the land, [for] which I lifted up My hand to give it to them,
        then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees,
        and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering:
        there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink-offerings.
Eze 20:29 And I said to them, What [is] the high place to which ye go? And its name is called Bamah to this day.
Eze 20:30 Therefore say to the House of Israel, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Ye are polluted after the manner of your fathers?
        And ye commit whoredoms after their abominations?
Eze 20:31 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire,
        ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, until this day:
        and shall I be inquired by you, House of Israel?
        [As] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        I shall not be inquired by you.
Eze 20:32 And that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say,
        We shall be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
Eze 20:33 [As] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        surely with a mighty hand,
        and with an out-stretched arm,
        and with fury poured out,
        shall I rule over you.
Eze 20:34 And I shall bring you out from the people,
        and shall gather you out of the countries,
        in which ye are scattered,
        with a mighty hand,
        and with an out-stretched arm,
        and with fury poured out.
Eze 20:35 And I shall bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there shall I plead with you face to face.
Eze 20:36 As I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt,
        so shall I plead with you, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 20:37 And I shall cause you to pass under the rod, and I shall bring you into the bond of the Covenant.
Eze 20:38 And I shall purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against Me:
          I shall 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.
Eze 20:39
        As for you, House of Israel, thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye shall not listen to Me:
        but profane ye My Holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
Eze 20:40 For on My Holy Mount, on the Mount of the height of Israel, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        there shall all the House of Israel, all of them in the land, serve Me:
        there shall I accept them, and there shall I require your offerings,
        and the first-fruit of your oblations, with all your Holy things.
Eze 20:41 I shall accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people,
        and gather you out of the countries in which ye have been scattered;
        and I shall be sanctified in you before the heathen.
Eze 20:42 And ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD,
        when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country [for] which I lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers.
Eze 20:43 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings in which ye have been defiled;
        and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own eyes for all your evil things that ye have committed.
Eze 20:44 And ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD,
        when I have wrought with you for My name's sake,
        not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings,
        ye House of Israel, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 20:45
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 20:46 Son of man, set Thy face towards the south, and drop [Thy word] towards the south,
        and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
Eze 20:47 and say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD;
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Behold, I shall kindle a fire in Thee,
        and it shall devour every fresh 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 in it.
Eze 20:48 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
Eze 20:49 Then I said, Ah! Lord JeHoVaH! They say of Me, does He not speak parables?

Eze 21:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 21:2 Son of man, set Thy face towards Jerusalem,
        and drop [Thy word] towards the sanctuaries,
        and prophesy against the land of Israel,
Eze 21:3 and say to the land of Israel, Thus says the LORD;
        Behold, I [AM] against Thee, and shall draw forth My sword out of its sheath,
        and shall cut off from Thee the righteous and the wicked.
Eze 21:4 Seeing then that I shall cut off from Thee the righteous and the wicked,
        therefore shall My sword go forth from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Eze 21:5 that all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn My sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
Eze 21:6
        And Thou, son of man, with the breaking of [Thy] loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
Eze 21:7 And it shall be, when they say to Thee, Why sigh Thou?
        That Thou shall answer, For the report; because it comes: 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 comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 21:8
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 21:9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
Eze 21:10 it is sharpened to make a grievous slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter:
        shall we then rejoice? It scorns the rod of My Son, [as] every tree.
Eze 21:11 And He has given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword is sharpened, and it is furbished,
        to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Eze 21:12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon My people, it [shall be] upon all the princes of Israel:
        terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon My people: smite therefore upon [Thy] thigh;
Eze 21:13 because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword] scorns even the rod? It shall be no [more], says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 21:14
        And Thou, son of man, prophesy, and smite [Thy] hands together,
        and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain:
        it [is] the sword of the great [men that are] slain, which enters into their private chambers.
Eze 21:15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that [their] heart may faint,
        and [their] ruins be multiplied: ah! [It is] made bright, [it is] sharpened for the slaughter.
Eze 21:16 Go Thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand, [or] on the left, wherever Thy face [is] set.
Eze 21:17 I shall also smite My hands together, and I shall cause My fury to rest: I the LORD have said [it].
Eze 21:18
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 21:19 And Thou, son of man, appoint Thee two ways,
        that the sword of the king of Babylon may come:
        both [ways] shall come forth from one land: and choose,
        Thou a place, choose [it] at the head of the way to the city.
Eze 21:20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon,
        and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
Eze 21:21 For the king of Babylon stood at the mother{parting} of the way, at the head of the two ways,
        to use divination. He made [the] arrows bright, he consulted with teraphim, he looked in the liver.
Eze 21:22 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 mound, [and] to build a fort.
Eze 21:23 And it shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths:
        but He shall call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
Eze 21:24
        Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered,
        in that your transgressions are disclosed,
        so that in all your doings your sins do appear;
        because, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance,
        ye shall be taken with the hand.
Eze 21:25 And Thou, profane wicked prince of Israel,
        whose day is come, when iniquity [shall have] an end.
Eze 21:26 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Remove the mitre, and take off the crown:
        this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt him [that is] low, and abase him [that is] high.
Eze 21:27 I shall overturn, overturn, overturn it: and it shall be no [more],
        until He comes whose right it is; and I shall give it [Him].
Eze 21:28
        And Thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        concerning the sons of Ammon, 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:
Eze 21:29 while they see vanity to Thee, while they divine a lie to Thee,
        to bring Thee upon the necks of [them that are] slain,
        of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end.
Eze 21:30 Shall I cause [it] to return into its sheath?
        I shall judge Thee in the place where Thou were created, in the land of Thy nativity.
Eze 21:31 And I shall pour out My indignation upon Thee, I shall blow against Thee in the fire of My wrath,
        and deliver Thee into the hand of brutish men, [and] skilful to destroy.
Eze 21:32 Thou shall be for fuel to the fire; Thy blood shall be in the middle of the land;
        Thou shall be no [more] remembered: for I the LORD have spoken [it].

Eze 22:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 22:2 And Thou, son of man, shall Thou judge, shall Thou judge the bloody city?
        And Thou shall show her all her abominations.
Eze 22:3 Then say Thou, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, The city sheds blood in the middle of it,
        that her time may come, and makes idols against herself to defile herself.
Eze 22:4 Thou are become guilty in Thy blood that Thou have shed;
        and have defiled thyself by Thy idols which Thou have made;
        and Thou have caused Thy days to draw near, and are come to Thy years:
        therefore have I made Thee a reproach to the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
Eze 22:5 [Those that are] near, and [those that are] far from Thee,
        shall mock Thee, [who are] infamous [and] much troubled.
Eze 22:6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in Thee to their power to shed blood.
Eze 22:7 In Thee have they set light by father and mother:
        in the middle of Thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger:
        in Thee have they oppressed the fatherless and the widow.
Eze 22:8 Thou have despised My Holy things, and has profaned My Sabbaths.
Eze 22:9 In Thee are men that carry tales to shed blood:
        and in Thee they eat upon the mountains:
        in the middle of Thee they commit lewdness.
Eze 22:10 In Thee have they uncovered their father's nakedness:
        in Thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
Eze 22:11 And one has committed abomination with his neighbour's wife;
        and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law;
        and another in Thee has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Eze 22:12 In Thee have they taken gifts to shed blood;
        Thou have taken interest and increase,
        and Thou have greedily gained from Thy neighbours by extortion,
        and have forgotten Me, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 22:13 Behold, therefore I have smitten My hand at Thy dishonest gain which Thou have made,
        and at Thy blood which has been in the middle of Thee.
Eze 22:14 Can Thy heart endure, or can Thy hands be strong,
        in the days that I shall deal with Thee? I the LORD have spoken [it], and shall do [it].
Eze 22:15 And I shall scatter Thee among the heathen, and disperse Thee in the countries,
        and shall consume Thy filthiness out of Thee.
Eze 22:16 And Thou have profaned in thyself in the sight of the heathen,
        and Thou shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 22:17
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 22:18 Son of man, the House of Israel is to me become dross:
        all they [are] bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead,
        in the middle of the furnace;
        they are the dross of silver.
Eze 22:19 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Because ye are all become dross,
        behold, therefore I shall gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
Eze 22:20 [As] they gather silver, and bronze, and iron, and lead, and tin,
        into the middle of the furnace,
        to blow the fire upon it, to melt [it];
        so shall I gather [you] in My anger and in My fury,
        and I shall leave [you there], and melt you.
Eze 22:21 And I shall gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of My wrath,
        and ye shall be melted in the middle of it.
Eze 22:22 As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace,
        so shall ye be melted in the middle of it;
        and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out My fury upon you.
Eze 22:23
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 22:24 Son of man, say to her, Thou [are] the land that is not cleansed,
        nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
Eze 22:25 [There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the middle of her,
        like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls;
        they have taken the treasure and precious things;
        they have made her many widows in the middle of her.
Eze 22:26 Her priests have violated My Law, and have profaned My Holy things:
        they have put no difference between the Holy and profane,
        neither have they shown [difference] between the unclean and the clean,
        and have hid their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I [AM] profaned among them.
Eze 22:27 Her princes in the middle of her [are] like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood,
        [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Eze 22:28 And her prophets have daubed them with plaster,
        seeing vanity, and divining lies to them,
        saying, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, when the LORD has not spoken.
Eze 22:29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery,
        and have oppressed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
Eze 22:30 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.
Eze 22:31 Therefore have I poured out My indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath:
        their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 23:1 {The two whore sisters}.
         Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
Eze 23:3 and they played the whore in Egypt; they played the whore in their youth:
        there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
Eze 23:4 And the names of them [were] Aholah{her tent} the elder, and Aholibah{My tent is in her} her sister:
        and they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters.
        Thus [were] their names; Samaria [is] Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
Eze 23:5
        And Aholah played the whore when she was Mine;
        and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours.
Eze 23:6 [Who were] clothed with blue, captains and prefects,
        all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
Eze 23:7 Thus she committed her fornications 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;
Eze 23:8 neither left she her fornications [brought] from Egypt:
        For in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity,
        and they poured out their fornication upon her.
Eze 23:9 Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers,
        into the hand of the sons of Ashur{Assyria}, upon whom she doted.
Eze 23:10 These uncovered 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.
Eze 23:11
        And when her sister, Aholibah,
        saw [this], she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she,
        and in her fornications more than her sister in [her] fornications.
Eze 23:12 She doted upon the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
        captains and prefects clothed gorgeously,
        horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
Eze 23:13 Then I saw that she was defiled, [that] they [took] both one way.
Eze 23:14 And [that] she increased her fornications:
        for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall,
        the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion.
Eze 23:15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding with flowing turbans upon their heads,
        all of them captains to look to, after the manner of the sons of Babylon of Chaldea,
        the land of their nativity:
Eze 23:16 and as soon as she saw them with her eyes she doted upon them,
        and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
Eze 23:17 And the sons of Babylon came to her into the bed of love,
        and they defiled her with their fornication,
        and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
Eze 23:18 So she disclosed her fornications, and exposed her nakedness:
        then My soul was alienated from her, as My soul was alienated from her sister.
Eze 23:19 Yet she multiplied her fornications, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth,
        in which she had played the whore in the land of Egypt.
Eze 23:20 For she doted upon their concubines, whose flesh [is as] the flesh of asses,
        and whose issue [is like] the issue of horses.
Eze 23:21 And Thou called to remembrance the lewdness of Thy youth,
        in the handling of Thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of Thy youth.
Eze 23:22
        Therefore, Aholibah, thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I shall raise up Thy lovers against Thee,
        from whom Thy soul is alienated,
        and I shall bring them against Thee on every side;
Eze 23:23 the sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa,
        [and] all the sons of Ashur{Assyria} with them: all of them desirable young men,
        governors and satraps, captains and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
Eze 23:24 And they shall come against Thee with weapons, chariots, and wheels,
        and with an assembly of people,
        [which] shall set against Thee buckler and shield and helmet on every side:
        and I shall set judgment before them, and they shall judge Thee according to their Judgments.
Eze 23:25 And I shall set My jealousy against Thee, and they shall deal furiously with Thee:
        they shall take away Thy nose and Thy ears; and Thy remnant shall fall by the sword:
        they shall take Thy sons and Thy daughters; and Thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
Eze 23:26 They shall also strip Thee of Thy clothes, and take away Thy fair jewels.
Eze 23:27 Thus shall I make Thy lewdness to cease from Thee, and Thy adultery [brought] from the land of Egypt:
        so that Thou shall not lift up Thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Eze 23:28
        For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I shall deliver Thee into the hand [of them] whom Thou hate,
        into the hand [of them] from whom Thy soul is alienated:
Eze 23:29 and they shall treat Thee with hatred, and shall take away all Thy labour,
        and shall leave Thee naked and bare:
        and the nakedness of Thy whoredoms shall be disclosed,
        both Thy lewdness and Thy fornications.
Eze 23:30 I shall do these [things] to Thee,
        because Thou have played the whore after the heathen,
        [and] because Thou are polluted with their idols.
Eze 23:31 Thou have walked in the way of Thy sister;
        therefore I shall give her cup into Thy hand.
Eze 23:32 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Thou shall drink of Thy sister's cup deep and large:
        Thou shall be treated with scorn and had in derision; it contains much.
Eze 23:33 Thou shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,
        with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of Thy sister Samaria.
Eze 23:34 Thou shall even drink it, and empty it to the dregs, and Thou shall break its pieces,
        and pluck off Thy own breasts: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 23:35
        Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Because Thou have forgotten Me, and cast Me behind Thy back,
        therefore bear Thou also Thy lewdness and Thy fornications.
Eze 23:36 And the LORD said to me; son of man, shall Thou judge Aholah and Aholibah?
        And declare to them their abominations;
Eze 23:37 that they have committed adultery, and blood [is] in their hands,
        and with their idols have they committed adultery,
        and have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me,
        to pass for them through [the fire], to devour [them].
Eze 23:38 And this they have done to Me:
        they have defiled My Sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned My Sabbaths.
Eze 23:39 For when they had slain their sons to their idols,
        then they came the same day into My Sanctuary to profane it;
        and behold, thus have they done in the middle of My house.
Eze 23:40 And also, that ye have sent for men to come from far,
        to whom a messenger [was] sent; and behold, they came:
        for whom Thou did wash thyself, paint Thy eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments,
Eze 23:41 and sat upon a stately bed and a table prepared before it,
        upon which Thou have set My incense and My oil.
Eze 23:42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease [was] with her:
        and with the men of the common sort [were] brought Sabeans from the wilderness,
        who put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
Eze 23:43 Then I said to [her that was] old in fornications,
        Will they now play the whore with her, and she [with them]?
Eze 23:44 Yet they went in to her, as they go in to a woman that plays the whore:
        so they went in to Aholah and to Aholibah, the lewd women.
Eze 23:45 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.
Eze 23:46
         For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; I shall bring up a company upon them,
         and shall give them to be removed and plundered.
Eze 23:47 And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords;
        they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.
Eze 23:48 Thus shall I cause lewdness to cease out of the land,
        that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
Eze 23:49 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 JeHoVaH.

Eze 24:1 {Parable of the boiling pot}.
        And in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month,
        the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 24:2 Son of man, Write for Thee the name of the day, of this same day:
        the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
Eze 24:3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Set on a pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it:
Eze 24:4 gather its pieces into it, every good piece,
        the thigh, and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones.
Eze 24:5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it,
        [and] make it boil well, and let them boil its bones in it.
Eze 24:6 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum [is] in it,
        and whose scum is not gone out of it!
        Bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
Eze 24:7 For her blood is in the middle of her; she set it upon the top of a rock;
        she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
Eze 24:8 that it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance;
        I have set her blood upon the top of a rock,
        that it should not be covered.
Eze 24:9 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Woe to the bloody city! I shall even make the pile for fire great.
Eze 24:10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh,
        and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Eze 24:11 Then set it empty upon its coals, that the bronze of it may be hot, and may burn,
        and [that] the filthiness of it may be melted in it, [that] the scum of it may be consumed.
Eze 24:12 She has wearied [herself] with lies,
        and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum [shall be] in the fire.
Eze 24:13 In Thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged Thee, and Thou were not purged,
        Thou shall not be purged from Thy filthiness any more,
        until I have caused My fury to rest upon Thee.
Eze 24:14 I the LORD have spoken [it]; it shall be,
        and I shall do [it]; I shall not go back, neither shall I spare,
        neither shall I repent; according to Thy ways,
        and according to Thy doings, shall they judge Thee, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 24:15 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 24:16 Son of man, behold, I take away from Thee the desire of Thy eyes with a stroke:
        yet neither shall Thou mourn nor weep, neither shall Thy tears run down.
Eze 24:17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the attire of Thy head upon Thee,
        and put on Thy shoes upon Thy feet, and cover not [Thy] lips, and eat not the bread of men.
Eze 24:18 So I spoke to the people in the morning: and at evening my wife died;
        and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Eze 24:19 And the people said to me, Will Thou not tell us what these [things are] to us, that Thou do [so]?
Eze 24:20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 24:21 Speak to the House of Israel, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I shall profane My Sanctuary, the excellence of your strength,
        the desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul;
        and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
Eze 24:22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover [your] lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Eze 24:23 And your attires [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 towards another.
Eze 24:24 And Ezekiel is to you a sign: according to all that he has done shall ye do:
        and when this comes, ye shall know that I [AM] the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 24:25
        And Thou, son of man,
        [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes,
        and the lifting up of their soul, their sons and their daughters,
Eze 24:26 [that] he who escapes in that day shall come to [Thee], to cause Thee to hear [it] with [Thy] ears?
Eze 24:27 In that day shall Thy mouth be opened to him who has escaped, and Thou shall speak,
        and be no more dumb: and Thou shall be a sign to them;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.

Eze 25:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 25:2 Son of man, set Thy face against the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them;
Eze 25:3 and say to the sons of Ammon, Hear the Word of the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Because Thou said,
        Aha, against My Sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel,
        when it was desolate; and against the House of Judah, when they went into captivity;
Eze 25:4 behold, therefore I shall deliver Thee to the sons of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in Thee,
        and make their dwellings in Thee: they shall eat Thy fruit, and they shall drink Thy milk.
Eze 25:5 And I shall make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the sons of Ammon a couching-place for flocks:
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.

Eze 25:6 For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Because Thou have clapped [Thy] hand, and stamped with the foot,
        and rejoiced in Thy soul with all Thy despite against the land of Israel;
Eze 25:7 behold, therefore I shall stretch out My hand upon Thee,
        and shall deliver Thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I shall cut Thee off from the people,
        and I shall cause Thee to perish out of the countries: I shall destroy Thee;
        and Thou shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 25:8
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the House of Judah [is] like all the heathen;
Eze 25:9 therefore behold, I shall open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities [which are] on his frontiers,
        the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,
Eze 25:10 to the sons of the east with the sons of Ammon, and shall give them in possession,
        that the sons of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.
Eze 25:11 And I shall execute Judgments upon Moab;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 25:12
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Because Edom has dealt against the House of Judah by taking vengeance,
        and has greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;
Eze 25:13
        therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        I shall also stretch out My hand upon Edom,
        and shall cut off man and beast from it; and I shall make it desolate from Teman;
        and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
Eze 25:14 And I shall lay My vengeance upon Edom by the hand of My people Israel:
        and they shall do in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury;
        and they shall know My vengeance, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 25:15 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge,
        and have taken vengeance with a despiteful soul, to destroy [with] perpetual enmity;
Eze 25:16 therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I shall stretch out My hand upon the Philistines,
        and I shall cut off the Cherethim, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
Eze 25:17 And I shall 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.

Eze 26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the month,
        the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 26:2 Son of man, because that Tyre has said against Jerusalem,
        Aha, she is broken [that was] the gates of the people:
        she is turned to me: I shall be filled, [now] she is laid waste:
Eze 26:3 therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I [AM] against Thee, Tyre,
        and shall cause many nations to come up against Thee,
        as the sea causes its waves to come up.
Eze 26:4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers:
        I shall also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
Eze 26:5 It shall be [a place for] the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea:
        for I have spoken [it], says the Lord JeHoVaH: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
Eze 26:6 And her daughters who [are] in the field shall be slain by the sword;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 26:7
        For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; Behold, I shall bring upon Tyre,
        Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north,
        with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
Eze 26:8 He shall slay with the sword Thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against Thee,
        and cast a mound against Thee, and lift up the buckler against Thee.
Eze 26:9 And he shall set engines of war against Thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down Thy towers.
Eze 26:10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover Thee:
        Thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots,
        when he shall enter into Thy gates, as men enter into a city in which is made a breach.
Eze 26:11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all Thy streets:
        he shall slay Thy people by the sword, and Thy strong pillars shall go down to the ground.
Eze 26:12 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 middle of the water.
Eze 26:13 And I shall cause the noise of Thy songs to cease; and the sound of Thy harps shall be no more heard.
Eze 26:14 And I shall make Thee like the top of a rock: Thou shall be [a place] to spread nets upon;
        Thou shall be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken [it], says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 26:15 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH to Tyre;
        Shall not the isles shake at the sound of Thy fall,
        when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the middle of Thee?
Eze 26:16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes,
        and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling;
        they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at Thee.
Eze 26:17 And they shall take up a lamentation for Thee, and say to Thee,
        How are Thou destroyed, who lived by the seas,
        the renowned city, which were strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants,
        who cause their terror [to be] on all that haunt it!
Eze 26:18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of Thy fall;
        yes, the isles that [are] in the sea shall be disturbed at Thy departure.
Eze 26:19
        For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        When I shall make Thee a desolate city,
        like the cities that are not inhabited;
        when I shall bring up the Abyss upon Thee,
        and great waters shall cover Thee;
Eze 26:20 when I shall bring Thee down with them that going down into the pit,
        with the people of old time,
        and shall set Thee into the lower parts of the Earth,
        in places desolate of old, with them that go down into the pit,
        that Thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
Eze 26:21 I shall make Thee a terror, and Thou [shall be] no [more]: though Thou shall be sought for,
        yet shall Thou never be found again, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 27:1
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 27:2 And Thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre;
Eze 27:3 and say to Tyre, Thou that are situated at the entry of the sea,
        [which are] a merchant of the people for many isles,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        {Lamentation for Tyre}.

Eze 27:7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt,

        The men of Arvad with Thy army [were] upon Thy walls on all sides,

        they have made Thy beauty perfect.

Eze 27:28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of Thy pilots.

Eze 28:1
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 28:2 Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Because Thy heart [is] lifted up, and Thou have said, I [am] a god,
        I sit [in] the seat of GOD, in the heart of the seas;
        yet Thou [are] a man, and not God,
        though Thou sets Thy heart as the heart of GOD:
Eze 28:3 behold, Thou [are] wiser than Daniel;
        there is no secret that they can hide from Thee:
Eze 28:4 with Thy wisdom and with Thy understanding,
        Thou have gained for Thee riches,
        and have gained gold and silver into Thy treasures.
Eze 28:5 By Thy great wisdom [and] by Thy traffic,
        Thou have increased Thy riches,
        and Thy heart is lifted up because of Thy riches:
Eze 28:6 therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Because Thou have set Thy heart as the heart of GOD;
Eze 28:7 behold, therefore I shall 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.
Eze 28:8 They shall bring Thee down into the pit,
        and Thou shall die the deaths of [them that are] slain in the heart of the seas.
Eze 28:9 Will Thou yet say before him that slays Thee, I [am] GOD?
        But Thou [shall be] a man, and no god,
        in the hand of him that slays Thee.
Eze 28:10 Thou shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers:
        for I have spoken [it], says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 28:11 {Lamentation upon the king of Tyre}.
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre,
        and say to him, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Thou seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Eze 28:13 Thou have been in Eden the Garden of GOD;
        every precious stone [was] Thy covering,
        the sardius, topaz, and the sardonyx, the chrysolite, the beryl, and the jasper,
        the sapphire, the chalcedony, and the emerald, and gold: the workmanship of Thy timbrels,
        and of Thy pipes was prepared in Thee in the day that Thou were created.
Eze 28:14 Thou [are] the anointed cherub that covers;
        and I have set Thee [so]: Thou were upon the Holy Mount of GOD;
        Thou have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou [were] perfect in Thy ways from the day that Thou were created, until iniquity was found in Thee.
Eze 28:16 By the multitude of Thy merchandise they have filled the middle of Thee with violence, and Thou have sinned:
        therefore I shall cast Thee as profane out of the Mount of GOD:
        and I shall destroy Thee, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:17 Thy heart was lifted up because of Thy beauty,
        Thou have corrupted Thy wisdom by reason of Thy brightness:
        I shall cast Thee to the ground, I shall lay Thee before kings, that they may behold Thee.
Eze 28:18 Thou have defiled Thy sanctuaries by the multitude of Thy iniquities,
        by the iniquity of Thy traffic; therefore shall I bring forth a fire from the middle of Thee,
        it shall devour Thee, and I shall bring Thee to ashes upon the Earth,
        in the sight of all them that behold Thee.
Eze 28:19 All they that know Thee among the people shall be astonished at Thee:
        Thou shall be terrors, and never [shall] Thou [be] any more.
Eze 28:20
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 28:21 Son of man, set Thy face against Sidon, and prophesy against it,
Eze 28:22 and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I [AM] against Thee, Sidon;
        and I shall be glorified in the middle 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.
Eze 28:23 For I shall send into her pestilence,
        and blood into her streets;
        and the wounded shall be judged,
        in the middle of her by the sword upon her on every side;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 28:24 And there shall be no more a pricking brier to the House of Israel,
        nor [any] grieving thorn of all [that are] around them, that despised them;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 28:25 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        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.
Eze 28:26 And they shall dwell safely in it, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards;
        yes, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed Judgments,
        upon all those that despise them around them;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD their God.

Eze 29:1 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth [day] of the month,
        the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 29:2 Son of man, set Thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt,
        and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
Eze 29:3 speak, and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I [AM] against Thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
        the great monster that lies in the middle of his rivers,
        which has said, my river [is] my own,
        and I have made [it] for myself.
Eze 29:4 But I shall put hooks in Thy jaws,
        and I shall cause the fish of Thy rivers to stick to Thy scales,
        and I shall bring Thee up out of the middle of Thy rivers,
        and all the fish of Thy rivers shall stick to Thy scales.
Eze 29:5 And I shall leave Thee [thrown] into the wilderness,
        Thee and all the fish of Thy rivers:
        Thou shall fall upon the open fields;
        Thou shall not be brought together, nor gathered:
        I have given Thee for food to the animals of the field and to the fowls of the air.
Eze 29:6 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.
Eze 29:7 When they took hold of Thee by Thy hand,
        Thou did break, and rend all their shoulder:
        and when they leaned upon Thee,
        Thou did break, and make all their loins to be at a stand.
Eze 29:8 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I shall bring a sword upon Thee,
        and cut off man and beast out of Thee.
Eze 29:9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD:
        because He has said, The river [is] Mine, and I have made [it].
Eze 29:10 Behold, therefore, I [AM] against Thee, and against Thy rivers,
        and I shall make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate,
        from Migdol [to] Syene even to the border of Cush.
Eze 29:11 No foot of man shall pass through it,
        nor foot of beast shall pass through it,
        neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
Eze 29:12 And I shall make the land of Egypt desolate,
        in the middle of the countries [that are] desolate,
        and her cities among the cities [that are] laid waste,
        shall be desolate forty years:
        and I shall scatter the Egyptians among the nations,
        and shall disperse them through the countries.
Eze 29:13 Yet thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        At the end of forty years shall I gather the Egyptians,
        from the people where they were scattered:
Eze 29:14 and I shall bring back the captivity of Egypt,
        and shall cause them to return [into] the land of Pathros,
        into the land of their habitation;
        and they shall be there a base kingdom.
Eze 29:15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms;
        neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations:
        for I shall diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
Eze 29:16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the House of Israel,
        which brings [their] iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them:
        but they shall know that I [AM] the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 29:17 And it came to pass in the twenty seventh year, in the first [month], in the first [day] of the month,
        the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 29:18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre:
        every head [was] made bald, and every shoulder [was] peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyre,
        for the service that he had served against it:
Eze 29:19 therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I shall give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon;
        and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
Eze 29:20 I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour with which he served against it,
        because they wrought for me, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 29:21 In that day shall I cause the horn of the House of Israel to bud forth,
        and I shall give Thee the opening of the mouth in the middle of them;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 30:1
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 30:2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Howl ye, Alas the day!
Eze 30:3 For the day [is] near, even the Day of the LORD [is] near,
        a day of clouds; it shall be the time of the heathen.
Eze 30:4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt,
        and great pain shall be in Cush, when the slain shall fall in Egypt,
        and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
Eze 30:5 Cush, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people,
        and Kub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
Eze 30:6
        Thus says the LORD;
        They also that uphold Egypt shall fall;
        and the pride of her power shall come down:
        from Migdol [to] Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 30:7 And they shall be desolate in the middle of the countries [that are] desolate,
        and her cities shall be in the middle of the cities [that are] wasted.
Eze 30:8 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.
Eze 30:9 In that day shall messengers go forth from Me in ships to make the careless Cushites afraid,
        and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for behold, it comes.
Eze 30:10
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
          I shall also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar{Nebuchadnezzar} king of Babylon.
Eze 30:11 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.
Eze 30:12 And I shall make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked:
      and I shall make the land waste, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken [it].
Eze 30:13 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
          I shall also destroy the idols,
      and I shall cause [their] images to cease out of Noph;
        and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt:
      and I shall put a fear in the land of Egypt.
Eze 30:14 And I shall make Pathros desolate, and shall set fire in Zoan,
      and I shall execute Judgments in No.
Eze 30:15 And I shall pour My fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt;
      and I shall cut off the multitude of No.
Eze 30:16 And I shall set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph [shall have] distresses daily.
Eze 30:17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these [cities] shall go into captivity.
Eze 30:18 At Tahpanhes 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.
Eze 30:19 Thus shall I execute Judgments in Egypt:
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.

Eze 30:20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh [day] of the month,
        the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 30:21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt;
        and behold, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
Eze 30:22 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I [AM] against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and shall break his arms,
        the strong, and that which was broken;
        and I shall cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Eze 30:23 And I shall scatter the Egyptians among the nations,
        and shall disperse them through the countries.
Eze 30:24 And I shall strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put My sword in his hand:
        but I shall break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded [man].
Eze 30:25 And I shall 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.
Eze 30:26 And I shall scatter the Egyptians among the nations,
        and disperse them among the countries;
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.

Eze 31:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first [day] of the month,
        the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 31:2 Son of man, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude;
        Whom are Thou like in Thy greatness?
Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches,
        and with a shady cover, and of a high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
Eze 31:4 The waters made him great, the Abyss set him up on high with her rivers running round his plants,
        and sent out her little rivers to all the trees of the field.
Eze 31:5 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.
Eze 31:6 All the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches,
        did all the animals of the field bring forth their young, and under his shade dwelt all great nations.
Eze 31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
Eze 31:8 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 to him in his beauty.
Eze 31:9 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.
Eze 31:10 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; Because Thou have lifted up thyself in height,
        and he has shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Eze 31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty of the heathen;
        He shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
Eze 31:12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him:
        upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen,
        and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land;
        and all the people of the Earth have gone down from his shade, and have left him.
Eze 31:13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the air remain,
        and all the animals of the field shall be upon his branches:
Eze 31:14 to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height,
        neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs,
        neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered to death,
        to the lower parts of the Earth, in the middle of the sons of men, with them that go down into the pit.
Eze 31:15 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        In the day when He went down to Sheol I caused a mourning:
        I covered the Abyss for him, and I restrained its floods,
        and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him,
        and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
Eze 31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall,
        when I cast him down to Sheol with them that going down into the pit:
        and all the trees of Eden,
        the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water,
        shall be comforted into the lower parts of the Earth.
Eze 31:17 They also go down into Sheol with him to [them that are] slain with the sword;
        and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shade in the middle of the heathen.
Eze 31:18 To whom are Thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden?
        Yet shall Thou be brought down with the trees of Eden into the lower parts of the Earth:
        Thou shall lie in the middle of the uncircumcised with [them that are] slain by the sword.
        This [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 32:1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first [day] of the month,
        the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 32:2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him,
        Thou are like a young lion of the nations, and Thou [are] as a monster in the seas:
        and Thou did come forth with Thy rivers, and disturb the waters with Thy feet, and render their rivers foul.
Eze 32:3 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, I shall therefore spread out My net over Thee:
        with a company of many people; and they shall bring Thee up in My net.
Eze 32:4 Then shall I leave Thee upon the land, and I shall cast Thee forth upon the open field,
        and shall cause all the fowls of the air to remain upon Thee,
        and I shall fill the animals of all the Earth with Thee.
Eze 32:5 And I shall lay Thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with Thy height.
Eze 32:6 I shall also water with Thy blood the land in which Thou swim,
        to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of Thee.
Eze 32:7 And when I shall extinguish Thee,
        I shall cover the Heaven,
        and make the stars of it dark;
        I shall cover the sun with a cloud,
        and the moon shall not give her light.
Eze 32:8 All the bright lights of Heaven shall I make dark over Thee,
        and set darkness upon Thy land, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 32:9 I shall also vex the hearts of many people,
        when I shall bring Thy destruction among the nations,
        into the countries which Thou have not known.
Eze 32:10 And I shall 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 soul, in the day of Thy fall.
Eze 32:11
        For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon Thee.
Eze 32:12 By the swords of the mighty shall I cause Thy multitude to fall,
        the terrible of the nations, all of them:
        and they shall lay waste the pomp of Egypt,
        and all its multitude shall be destroyed.
Eze 32:13 I shall destroy also all its beasts from beside the great waters;
        neither shall the foot of man disturb them any more,
        nor the hoofs of beasts disturb them.
Eze 32:14 Then shall I make their waters deep,
        and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 32:15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate,
        and the country shall be destitute of that of which it was full,
        when I shall smite all them that dwell in it,
        then shall they know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 32:16
        This [is] the lamentation with which they shall lament her:
        the daughters of the nations shall lament her:
        they shall lament for her, for Egypt,
        and for all her multitude, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 32:17 And it came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month,
        the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eze 32:18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down,
        her, and the daughters of the famous nations,
        to the lower parts of the Earth, with them that go down into the pit.
Eze 32:19 Whom do Thou pass in beauty? Go down, and be Thou laid with the uncircumcised.
Eze 32:20 They shall fall in the middle of [them that are] slain by the sword:
        she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
Eze 32:21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the middle of Sheol;
        with them that help him: they are gone down,
        they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
Eze 32:22 Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves,
        [are] about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
Eze 32:23 whose graves are set in the sides of the pit,
        and her company is around her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword,
        who caused terror in the land of the living.
Eze 32:24 There [is] Elam and all her multitude around her grave,
        all of them slain, fallen by the sword,
        who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the Earth,
        who caused their terror in the land of the living;
        yet have they borne their shame with them that go down into the pit.
Eze 32:25 They have set her a bed in the middle of the slain with all her multitude:
        her graves [are] around him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword:
        though their terror was caused in the land of the living,
        yet have they borne their shame with them that go down into the pit:
        He is put in the middle of [them that are] slain.
Eze 32:26 There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves [are] around him:
        all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword,
        though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
Eze 32:27 And they shall not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen of the uncircumcised,
        who are gone down to Sheol, 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.
Eze 32:28 And Thou shall be broken in the middle of the uncircumcised,
        and shall lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.
Eze 32:29 There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes,
        who with their might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword:
        they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down into the pit.
Eze 32:30 There [are] the princes of the north, all of them,
        and all the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain;
        with their terror they are ashamed of their might;
        and they lie uncircumcised with [them that are] slain by the sword,
        and bear their shame with them that go down into the pit.
Eze 32:31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude,
        Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 32:32 For I have caused My terror in the land of the living:
        and he shall be laid in the middle of the uncircumcised,
        with [them that are] slain with the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 33:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 33:2 Son of man, speak to the sons of Thy people, and say to them,
        When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their borders, and set him for their watchman:
Eze 33:3 if when he sees the sword come upon the land, he shall blow the shofar, and warn the people;
Eze 33:4 then whoever hears the voice of the shofar, and takes not warning;
        if the sword shall come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
Eze 33:5 He heard the voice of the shofar, and took not warning;
        his blood shall be upon him. But he who takes warning shall deliver his soul.
Eze 33:6 But if the watchman shall see the sword come, and blow not the shofar, and the people be not warned;
        if the sword shall come, and take [any] soul from among them,
        he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood shall I require at the watchman's hand.
Eze 33:7
        And Thou, son of man, I have set Thee a watchman to the House of Israel;
        therefore Thou shall hear the word at My mouth, and warn them from Me.
Eze 33:8 When I say to the wicked, wicked, dying, Thou shall die; if Thou do not speak to warn the wicked from his way,
        that wicked shall die in his iniquity; but his blood shall I require at Thy hand.
Eze 33:9 And if Thou shall warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he shall not turn from his way,
        he shall die in his iniquity; but Thou have delivered Thy soul.
Eze 33:10
        And Thou, son of man, speak to the House of Israel; Thus ye speak,
        saying, If our transgressions and our sins [are] upon us,
        and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
Eze 33:11 Say to them, [As] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked;
        but that the wicked should turn from his way and live:
        turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why shall ye die, House of Israel?
Eze 33:12
        And Thou, son of man, say to the sons of Thy people,
        The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked,
        he shall not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness;
        neither shall the righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that he sins.
Eze 33:13 When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely live; if he shall trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity,
        all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.
Eze 33:14 Again, when I say to the wicked, Dying, Thou shall die; if he shall turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
Eze 33:15 [If] the wicked shall restore the pledge, give back that which he had robbed,
        walk in the Statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Eze 33:16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned to him, he has done that which is lawful and right. He shall surely live.
Eze 33:17 Yet the sons of Thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
Eze 33:18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, for that he shall even die.
Eze 33:19 But if the wicked shall turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, for that he shall live.
Eze 33:20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal: ye House of Israel, I shall judge you every one after his ways.

Eze 33:21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month,
        [that] one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is smitten.
Eze 33:22 Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening,
        before he who had escaped came; and had opened my mouth,
        until He came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
Eze 33:23
        Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 33:24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak,
        saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we [are] many;
        the land is given to us for inheritance.
Eze 33:25 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes towards your idols,
        and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
Eze 33:26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination,
        and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
Eze 33:27 Say Thou thus to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        [As] I live, surely, they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword,
        and him that [is] in the open field I shall give to the animals to be devoured,
        and they that [are] in the forts and in the caves shall die by the pestilence.
Eze 33:28 For I shall lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease;
        and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
Eze 33:29 Then shall they know that I [AM] the LORD,
        when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Eze 33:30
        And Thou, son of man, the sons of Thy people still are talking against Thee;
        by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother,
        saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD.
Eze 33:31 And they come to Thee as the people come, and they sit before Thee [as] My people, and they hear Thy words,
        but they shall not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, [but] their heart goes after their covetousness.
Eze 33:32 And behold, Thou [are] to them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice,
        and can play well on an instrument: for they hear Thy words, but they do not perform them.
Eze 33:33 And when this comes to pass, (behold, it shall come), then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.

Eze 34:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel,
        prophesy, and say to them,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH to the shepherds;
        Woe [be] to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves!
        Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
Eze 34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool,
        ye kill them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.
Eze 34:4 The diseased ye have not strengthened,
        neither have ye healed that which was sick,
        neither have ye bound up [that which was] broken,
        neither have ye brought back that which was driven away,
        neither have ye sought that which was lost;
        but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
Eze 34:5 And they were scattered, because [there is] no shepherd: [Mar 6:34]
        and they became food to all the animals of the field, when they were scattered.
Eze 34:6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill:
        yes, My flock was scattered upon all the face of the Earth,
        and none did search or seek [for them].
Eze 34:7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Eze 34:8 [As] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Surely, because My flock became a prey,
        and My flock became food to every animal 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;
Eze 34:9 therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Eze 34:10 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I [AM] against the shepherds;
        and I shall 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 shall deliver My flock from their mouth,
        that they may not be food for them.
Eze 34:11
        For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Behold, I I, shall both search for My sheep,
        and seek them out.
Eze 34:12 As a Shepherd seeks out His flock:
        in the day that He is among His sheep [that are] scattered;
        so shall I seek out My sheep, and shall deliver them out of all places,
        where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Eze 34:13 And I shall bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries,
        and shall 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.
Eze 34:14 I shall 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.
Eze 34:15 I shall feed My flock, and I shall cause them to lie down, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 34:16 I shall seek that which was lost, and bring back that which was driven away,
        and shall bind up [that which was] broken, and shall strengthen that which was sick:
        but I shall destroy the fat and the strong; I shall feed them with judgment.
Eze 34:17 And [as for] you, My flock, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he-goats.
Eze 34:18 [Seems it] a small thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture,
        but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures?
        And to have drank of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Eze 34:19 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.
Eze 34:20 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH to them;
        Behold, I, even I shall judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle;
Eze 34:21 because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns,
        until ye have scattered them abroad;
Eze 34:22 therefore shall I save My flock, and they shall no more be a prey;
        and I shall judge between cattle and cattle.
Eze 34:23 And I shall set up one shepherd over them, and He shall feed them, My Servant David;
        He shall feed them, and He shall be their Shepherd.
Eze 34:24 And I the LORD shall be their GOD,
        and My Servant David a Prince among them;
        I the LORD have spoken [it].
Eze 34:25 And I shall make with them a Covenant of Peace,
        and shall cause the evil animals to cease out of the land:
        and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Eze 34:26 And I shall make them and the places around My hill a blessing;
        and I shall cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
Eze 34:27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit,
        and the Earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land,
        and shall know that I [AM] the LORD,
        when I have broken the bands of their yoke,
        and delivered them out of the hand of those that subjected them to service.
Eze 34:28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen,
        neither shall the animal of the earth devour them;
        but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make [them] afraid.
Eze 34:29 And I shall 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.
Eze 34:30 Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God [AM] with them,
        and [that] they, the House of Israel, [are] My people, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 34:31 And ye My flock, the flock of My pasture, [are] men, [and] I [AM] your God, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 35:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 35:2 Son of man, set Thy face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
Eze 35:3 and say to it, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, Mount Seir, I [AM] against Thee,
        and I shall stretch out My hand against Thee,
        and I shall make Thee most desolate.
Eze 35:4 I shall lay Thy cities waste, and Thou shall be desolate,
        and Thou shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 35:5
        Because Thou have had a perpetual enmity, and have shed [the blood of] the sons of Israel;
        by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:
Eze 35:6 therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        I shall prepare Thee to blood, and blood shall pursue Thee:
        since Thou have not hated blood, even blood shall pursue Thee.
Eze 35:7 Thus shall I make Mount Seir most desolate,
        and cut off from it him that passes out and him that returns.
Eze 35:8 And I shall 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.
Eze 35:9 I shall make Thee perpetual desolations, and Thy cities shall not return:
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 35:10
        Because Thou have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be Mine,
        and we shall possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
Eze 35:11 therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        I shall even do according to Thy anger,
        and according to Thy envy,
        which Thou have used out of Thy hatred against them;
        and I shall make myself known among them, when I have judged Thee.
Eze 35:12 And Thou shall know that I [AM] the LORD,
        I have heard all Thy blasphemies,
        which Thou have spoken against the mountains of Israel,
        saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
Eze 35:13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against Me,
        and have multiplied your words against Me: I have heard [them].
Eze 35:14 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        When all the Earth rejoices, I shall make Thee desolate.
Eze 35:15 As Thou did rejoice at the inheritance of the House of Israel, because it was desolate,
        so I shall do to Thee: Thou shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom,
        all of it: and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 36:1
        And Thou, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel,
        and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
Eze 36:2 thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Because the enemy had said against you,
        Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
Eze 36:3 therefore prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Because they have made [you] desolate, and swallowed you up on every side,
        that ye might be a possession to the residue of the heathen,
        and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people:
Eze 36:4 therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys,
        to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken,
        which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that [are] around;
Eze 36:5 therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Surely, in the fire of My jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen,
        and against all Edom, who have appointed My land into their possession,
        with the joy of all [their] heart, with a despiteful soul, to cast it out for a prey.
Eze 36:6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel,
        and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
Eze 36:7 therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        I have lifted up My hand, Surely, the heathen that [are] about you, they shall bear their shame.
Eze 36:8 But ye, mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches,
        and yield your fruit to My people of Israel; for they are near to come.
Eze 36:9 For behold, I [AM] for you, and I shall turn to you, and ye shall be tilled and sown.
Eze 36:10 And I shall multiply men upon you, all the House of Israel,
        all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built.
Eze 36:11 And I shall multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit:
        and I shall settle you after your old states, and shall do better [to you] than at your beginnings:
        and ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 36:12
        And I shall cause men to walk upon you, My people Israel;
        and they shall possess Thee, and Thou shall be their inheritance,
        and Thou shall no more henceforth bereave them [of men].
Eze 36:13 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Because they say to you, Thou [land] devour men, and have bereaved Thy nations;
Eze 36:14 therefore Thou shall devour men no more,
        neither bereave Thy nations any more, says the Lord JeHoVaH;
Eze 36:15 neither shall I cause [men] to hear in Thee the shame of the heathen any more,
        neither shall Thou bear the reproach of the people any more,
        neither shall Thou cause Thy nations to fall any more, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 36:16 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 36:17 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.
Eze 36:18 Therefore I poured My fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land,
        and for their idols [with which] they had polluted it:
Eze 36:19 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.
Eze 36:20 And when they entered among the heathen, where they went,
        they profaned My Holy name, when they said to them,
        These [are] the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
Eze 36:21 But I had pity for My Holy name,
        which the House of Israel had profaned among the heathen, where they went.
Eze 36:22 Therefore say to the House of Israel, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        I do not [this] for your sakes, House of Israel, but for My Holy name's sake,
        which ye have profaned among the heathen, where ye went.
Eze 36:23 And I shall sanctify My great name, which was profaned among the heathen,
        which ye have profaned in the middle of them;
        and the heathen shall know that I [AM] the LORD, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Eze 36:24 For I shall take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries,
        and shall bring you into your own land.
Eze 36:25 Then shall I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean:
        from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, shall I cleanse you.
Eze 36:26 A new heart also I shall give you, and a new spirit shall I put within you:
        and I shall take the stony heart out of your flesh,
        and I shall give you a heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27 And I shall put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My Statutes,
        and ye shall keep My Judgments, and do [them].
Eze 36:28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers;
        and ye shall be My people, and I shall be your GOD.
Eze 36:29
        I shall also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I shall call for the grain,
        and shall increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
Eze 36:30 And I shall multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field,
        that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
Eze 36:31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that [were] not good,
        and shall loathe yourselves in your own eyes for your iniquities, and for your abominations.
Eze 36:32 Not for your sakes do I [this], says the Lord JeHoVaH, be it known to you:
        be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, House of Israel.
Eze 36:33 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities;
        I shall also cause [you] to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built.
Eze 36:34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
Eze 36:35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the Garden of Eden;
        and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are become] fortified, [and] are inhabited.
Eze 36:36 Then the heathen that are left around you shall know that I the LORD,
        build the ruined [places], [and] plant that which was desolate:
        I the LORD have spoken [it], and I shall do [it].
Eze 36:37 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        I shall yet [for] this be inquired by the House of Israel,
        to do [it] for them; I shall increase them with men like a flock.
Eze 36:38 As the Holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn Festivals;
        so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men:
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.

Eze 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the LORD,
        and set me down in the middle of the valley which [was] full of bones,
Eze 37:2 and caused me to pass by them around:
        and behold, [there were] very many in the open valley;
        and behold, [they were] very dry.
Eze 37:3 And He said to me, son of man, can these bones live?
        And I answered, Lord JeHoVaH, Thou know.
Eze 37:4 And He said to me, Prophesy upon these bones,
        and say to them, ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Eze 37:5 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH to these bones;
        Behold, I shall cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
Eze 37:6 and I shall lay sinews upon you, and shall 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.
Eze 37:7
        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.
Eze 37:8 And when I beheld, behold, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them,
        and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in them.
Eze 37:9 And He said to me,
        Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Come from the four winds,
        breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
Eze 37:10 So I prophesied as He commanded me,
        and the breath came into them, and they lived,
        and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Eze 37:11
        And He said to me, son of man, these bones are the whole House of Israel:
        behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Eze 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say to them,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Behold, My people, I shall open your graves,
        and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Eze 37:13 And ye shall know that I [AM] the LORD,
        when I have opened your graves, My people, and brought you up out of your graves,
Eze 37:14 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], said the LORD.

Eze 37:15 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 37:16 And Thou, son of man, take Thee one stick, and write upon it,
        For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions:
        then take another stick, and write upon it,
        For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the House of Israel his companions:
Eze 37:17 and join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in Thy hand.
Eze 37:18 And when the sons of Thy people shall speak to Thee,
        saying, Will Thou not show us what Thou [mean] by these?
Eze 37:19 Say to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I shall take the stick of Joseph,
        which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel;
        his fellows, and shall put them with him, with the stick of Judah,
        and make them one stick, and they shall be one in My hand.
Eze 37:20 And the sticks on which Thou write shall be in Thy hand before their eyes.
Eze 37:21 And say to them, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I shall take the sons of Israel from among the heathen, where they are gone,
        and shall gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
Eze 37:22 and I shall make them one Nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel;
        and one King shall be King to them all:
        and they shall be no more two nations,
        neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Eze 37:23 neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols,
        nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions:
        but I shall save them out of all their dwelling-places,
        in which they have sinned, and shall cleanse them:
        so shall they be My people, and I shall be their GOD.
Eze 37:24 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.
Eze 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant,
        in which your fathers have dwelt, and they shall dwell in it,
        they, and their sons, and their sons of sons forever:
        and My servant David [shall be] their Prince forever.
Eze 37:26 And I shall make a Covenant of Peace with them;
        it shall be an Everlasting Covenant with them:
        and I shall place them, and multiply them,
        and shall set My Sanctuary in the middle of them forever.
Eze 37:27 My Tabernacle also shall be with them:
        and I shall be their GOD,
        and they shall be My people. [2Co 6:16]
Eze 37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel,
        when My Sanctuary shall be in the middle of them forever.

Eze 38:1 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Eze 38:2 Son of man, set Thy face against Gog,
        the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.
Eze 38:3 And say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I [AM] against Thee, Gog, the prince of Rosh, of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 38:4 and I shall turn Thee back, and put hooks into Thy jaws,
        and I shall bring Thee forth, and all Thy army, horses and horsemen,
        all of them clothed gorgeously, a great company,
        [with] shields and bucklers, all of them handling swords:
Eze 38:5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Eze 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the [far] sides of the north,
        and all his bands: [and] many people with Thee.
Eze 38:7 Be Thou prepared, and prepare for thyself,
        Thou, and all Thy company that are assembled to Thee,
        and be Thou a guard to them.
Eze 38:8 After many days Thou shall be visited: in the Latter Years,
        Thou shall come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword,
        [and is] gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel,
        which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations,
        and they shall all dwell in safety.
Eze 38:9 Thou shall ascend and come like a storm,
        Thou shall be like a cloud to cover the land,
        Thou, and all Thy bands, and many people with Thee.
Eze 38:10 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Also it shall be,
        [that] at the same time shall [things] come into Thy heart{understanding}, and Thou shall think an evil thought:
Eze 38:11 And Thou shall say, I shall go up to the land of unwalled villages;
        I shall go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely,
        all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
Eze 38:12 to take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn Thy hand upon the desolate places,
        [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations,
        which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the land.
Eze 38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, shall say to Thee,
        Are Thou come to take a spoil? Have Thou gathered Thy company to take a prey?
        To carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Eze 38:14
        Therefore, Son of man, prophesy and say to Gog,
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        In that day when My people of Israel dwells safely, shall Thou not know [it]?
Eze 38:15 And Thou shall come from Thy place out of the north parts,
        Thou, and many people with Thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
Eze 38:16 And Thou shall come against My people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the Latter Days,
        and I shall bring Thee against My land, that the heathen may know me,
        when I shall be sanctified in Thee, Gog, before their eyes.
Eze 38:17 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Thou [are] he of whom I have spoken in old time by the hand of My servants the prophets of Israel,
        who prophesied in those days [many] years, that I would bring Thee against them?
Eze 38:18 And it shall be at that day, in the day Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
        says the Lord JeHoVaH, [that] My fury shall come up in My face.
Eze 38:19 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.
Eze 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea,
        and the fowls of the air, and the animals of the field,
        and all creeping things that creep upon the Earth,
        and all the men that [are] upon the face of the Earth,
        shall shake at My presence, and the mountains shall be overturned,
        and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Eze 38:21 And I shall call for a sword against him throughout all My mountains,
        says the Lord JeHoVaH: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Eze 38:22 And I plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I shall rain upon him,
        and upon his bands, and upon the many people that [are] with him,
        an overflowing rain, and great hail, fire and brimstone.
Eze 38:23 Thus shall I magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself;
        and I shall be known in the eyes of many nations,
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 39:1
        Therefore, Thou Son of man, prophesy against Gog,
        and say, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        Behold, I [AM] against Thee,
        Gog, the prince of Rosh, of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 39:2 and I shall turn Thee back, and leave but the sixth [part] of Thee,
        and shall cause Thee to come from the north parts,
        and shall bring Thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Eze 39:3 and I shall smite Thy bow out of Thy left hand,
        and I shall cause Thy arrows to fall from Thy right hand.
Eze 39:4 Thou shall fall upon the mountains of Israel,
        Thou, and all Thy bands, and the people that [are] with Thee:
        I shall give Thee to the ravenous birds of every sort,
        and [to] the animals of the field to be devoured.
Eze 39:5 Thou shall fall upon the open field:
        for I have spoken [it], says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 39:6 And I shall send a fire on Magog,
        and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles:
        and they shall know that I [AM] the LORD.
Eze 39:7
        So shall I make My Holy name known in the middle of My people Israel;
        and I shall not [let them] profane My Holy name any more:
        and the heathen shall know that I [AM] the LORD, the Holy [One] in Israel.
Eze 39:8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        this [is] the day of which I have spoken.
Eze 39:9 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 hand-staffs, and the spears,
        and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
Eze 39:10 so that they shall take no wood out of the field,
        neither cut down [any] out of the forests;
        for they shall burn the weapons with fire:
        and they shall lay waste those that wasted them,
        and rob those that robbed them, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 39:11 And it shall be in that day,
        [that] I shall give to Gog a place there of graves in Israel,
        the valley of the passengers, eastward of the sea:
        and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers:
        and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude:
        and they shall call [it] The valley of Hamon-Gog.
Eze 39:12 And seven months shall the House of Israel be in burying them,
        that they may cleanse the land.
Eze 39:13 And all the people of the land shall bury [them]:
        and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 39:14 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.
Eze 39:15 And [as] passengers pass through the land, when [any] sees a man's bone,
        then shall He set up a sign by it, until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-Gog.
Eze 39:16 And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah{multitude}. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
Eze 39:17
        And Thou, son of man, thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        Speak to every feathered bird, and to every animal of the field,
        Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to My sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you,
        a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
Eze 39:18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the Earth,
        of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
Eze 39:19 And ye shall eat fat until ye are full, and drink blood until ye are drunken, of My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
Eze 39:20 Thus ye shall be filled at My table with horses and chariots, with mighty men,
        and with all men of war, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 39:21 And I shall 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.
Eze 39:22 So the House of Israel shall know that I [AM] the LORD their God from that day and forward.
Eze 39:23 And the heathen shall know that the House of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against Me,
        therefore I hid My face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so they all fell by the sword.
Eze 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done to them, and hid My face from them.
Eze 39:25 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; Now shall I bring back the captivity of Jacob,
        and have mercy upon the whole House of Israel, and shall be jealous for My Holy name;
Eze 39:26 after they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against Me,
        when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made [them] afraid.
Eze 39:27 When I have brought them back from the nations, and gathered them out of the lands of their enemies,
        and [AM] sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Eze 39:28 then shall they know that I [AM] the LORD their God, who caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen:
        but I have gathered them to their own land, and have left none of them there any more;
Eze 39:29 neither shall I hide My face any more from them: for I have poured out My Spirit upon the House of Israel, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 40:1 In the twenty fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was smitten,
        in the same day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me there.
Eze 40:2 In the visions of GOD He brought 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.
Eze 40:3 And He brought me there, and behold, [there was] a man, whose appearance [was] like the appearance of bronze,
        with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
Eze 40:4
        And the man said to me, son of man,
        behold with Thy eyes, and hear with Thy ears, and set Thy heart upon all that I shall show Thee;
        for, to the intent that I might show [them] to Thee [are] Thou brought here:
        declare all that Thou see to the House of Israel.
Eze 40:5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house around,
        and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit and a handbreadth:
        and he measured the breadth of the building, one reed: and the height, one reed.
Eze 40:6 Then he came to the gate which looks towards the east, and ascended its stairs, and measured the threshold of the gate,
        [which was] one reed broad; and the other threshold [of the gate], [which was] one reed broad.
Eze 40:7 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.
Eze 40:8 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
Eze 40:9 Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits;
        and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate [was] inward.
Eze 40:10 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.
Eze 40:11 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
Eze 40:12 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.
Eze 40:13 He measured then the gate from the roof of [one] little chamber to the roof of another:
        the breadth [was] twenty five cubits, door against door.
Eze 40:14 And he made also posts of sixty cubits; even to the post of the court around the gate.
Eze 40:15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance to the face of the porch of the inner gate [were] fifty cubits.
Eze 40:16 And [there were] narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate around,
        and so to the arches: and windows [were] around inward: and upon [each] post [were] palm-trees.
Eze 40:17 Then he brought me into the outer court, and behold, [there were] chambers,
        and a pavement made for the court around: thirty chambers [were] upon the pavement.
Eze 40:18 And the pavement by the side of the gates opposed to the length of the gates [was] the lower pavement.
Eze 40:19
        Then he measured the breadth from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court outside,
        a hundred cubits eastward and northward.
Eze 40:20 And the gate of the outer court that looked towards the north, he measured its length, and its breadth.
Eze 40:21 And the little chambers of it [were] three on this side and three on that side;
        and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate;
        its length [was] fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty five cubits.
Eze 40:22 And their windows, and their arches, and their palm-trees,
        [were] after the measure of the gate that looks towards the east;
        and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches [were] before them.
Eze 40:23 And the gate of the inner court [was] opposed to the gate towards the north, and towards the east;
        and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
Eze 40:24 After that he brought me towards the south, and behold a gate towards the south:
        and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures.
Eze 40:25 And [there were] windows in it and in its arches around, like those windows:
        the length [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty five cubits.
Eze 40:26 And [there were] seven steps to go up to it, and its arches [were] before them: and it had palm-trees,
        one on this side, and another on that side, upon its posts.
Eze 40:27 And [there was] a gate in the inner court towards the south:
        and he measured from gate to gate towards the south a hundred cubits.
Eze 40:28 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate;
        and he measured the south gate according to these measures.
Eze 40:29 And its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches,
        [were] according to these measures;
        and [there were] windows in it and in its arches around:
        [it was] fifty cubits long, and twenty five cubits broad.
Eze 40:30 And the arches around [were] twenty five cubits long, and five cubits broad.
Eze 40:31 And its arches [were] towards the outer court; and palm-trees [were] upon its posts:
        and the ascent to it [had] eight steps.
Eze 40:32 And He brought me into the inner court towards the east:
        and he measured the gate according to these measures.
Eze 40:33 And its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches,
        [were] according to these measures;
        and [there were] windows in it and in its arches around:
        [it was] fifty cubits long, and twenty five cubits broad.
Eze 40:34 And its arches [were] towards the outer court; and palm-trees were upon its posts,
        on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it [had] eight steps.
Eze 40:35 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured [it] according to these measures;
Eze 40:36 its little chambers, its posts, and its arches, and the windows to it around:
        the length [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty five cubits.
Eze 40:37 And its arches [were] towards the outer court; and palm-trees [were] upon its posts,
        on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it [had] eight steps.
Eze 40:38
        And the chambers and its entries [were] by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt-offering.
Eze 40:39 And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this side, and two tables on that side,
        to slay upon it the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering.
Eze 40:40 And at the side outside, as one goes 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.
Eze 40:41 Four tables [were] on this side, four tables on that side,
        by the side of the gate; eight tables, upon which they slew [their sacrifices].
Eze 40:42 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:
        upon which also they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
Eze 40:43 And inside [were] hooks, a hand broad, fastened around: and upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering.
Eze 40:44 And outside the inner gate [were] the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate;
        and their prospect [was] towards the south: one at the side of the east gate [having] the prospect towards the north.
Eze 40:45
        And he said to me, This chamber, whose prospect [is] towards the south, [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
Eze 40:46 And the chamber whose prospect [is] towards the north [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the Altar:
        these [are] the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, who come near to the LORD to minister to Him.
Eze 40:47 And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, square; and the Altar [that was] before the house.
Eze 40:48 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.
Eze 40:49 The length of the porch [was] twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits;
        and he [brought me] by the steps by which they went up to it: and [there were] pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
Eze 41:1
        And he brought me to the Temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side,
        [which was] the breadth of the Tabernacle.
Eze 41:2 And the breadth of the door [was] ten cubits; and the sides of the door [were] five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side:
        and he measured the length of it forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
Eze 41:3 Then he went inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
Eze 41:4 And he measured the length of it twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits,
        before the Temple: and he said to me, This [is] the Holy of Holies.
Eze 41:5 And he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of [every] side-chamber, four cubits, round the house on every side.
Eze 41:6 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 around,
        that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
Eze 41:7 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 around the house;
        therefore the breadth of the house [was still] upward, and so increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the middle.
Eze 41:8 I saw also the height of the house around: the foundations of the side-chambers [were] a full reed of six great cubits.
Eze 41:9 The thickness of the wall, which [was] for the side-chamber outside, [was] five cubits:
        and [that] which [was] left [was] the place of the side-chambers that [were] inside.
Eze 41:10 And between the chambers [was] the width of twenty cubits around the house on every side.
Eze 41:11 And the doors of the side-chambers [were] towards [the place that was] left,
        one door towards the north, and another door towards the south:
        and the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits around.
Eze 41:12 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end towards the west [was] seventy cubits broad;
        and the wall of the building [was] five cubits thick around, and its length ninety cubits.
Eze 41:13 And he measured the house, a hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, a hundred cubits long;
Eze 41:14 also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place towards the east, a hundred cubits.
Eze 41:15 And he measured the length of the building opposed to the separate place which [was] behind it, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side,
        a hundred cubits, with the inner Temple, and the porches of the court;
Eze 41:16 the door-posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries around on their three stories, opposed to the door,
        ceiled with wood around, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows [were] covered;
Eze 41:17 to that above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall around inside and outside, by measure.
Eze 41:18 And [it was] made with cherubim and palm-trees,
        so that a palm-tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had two faces;
Eze 41:19 so that the face of a man [was] towards the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion towards the palm-tree on the other side:
        [it was] made through all the house around.
Eze 41:20 From the ground to above the door [were] cherubim and palm-trees made, and [on] the wall of the Temple.
Eze 41:21 The posts of the Temple [were] squared, [and] the face of the Sanctuary;
        the appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of the other].
Eze 41:22 The Altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and its length two cubits;
        and its corners, and its length, and its walls, [were] of wood:
        and he said to me, This [is] the table that [is] before the LORD.
Eze 41:23 And the Temple and the Sanctuary had two doors.
Eze 41:24 And the doors had two leaves each, two turning leaves;
        two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other [door].
Eze 41:25 And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the Temple, cherubim and palm-trees,
        as [were] made upon the walls; and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the porch outside.
Eze 41:26 And [there were] narrow windows and palm-trees on the one side and on the other side,
        on the sides of the porch, and [upon] the side-chambers of the house, and thick planks.
Eze 42:1
        Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way towards the north:
        and he brought me into the chamber that [was] opposed to the separate place,
        and which [was] before the building towards the north.
Eze 42:2 Before the length of a hundred cubits [was] the north door, and the breadth [was] fifty cubits.
Eze 42:3 Opposed to the twenty [cubits] which [were] for the inner court,
        and opposed to the pavement which [was] for the outer court,
        [was] gallery against gallery in three [stories].
Eze 42:4 And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward,
        a way of one cubit; and their doors towards the north.
Eze 42:5
        Now the upper rooms [were] shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower,
        and than the middlemost of the building.
Eze 42:6 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.
Eze 42:7 And the wall that [was] outside opposed to the chambers, towards the outer court on the forepart of the chambers,
        the length of it [was] fifty cubits.
Eze 42:8 For the length of the chambers that [were] in the outer court [was] fifty cubits:
        and behold, before the Temple [were] a hundred cubits.
Eze 42:9 And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
Eze 42:10 The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the court towards the east,
        opposed to the separate place, and opposed to the building.
Eze 42:11 And the way before them [was] like the appearance of the chambers which [were] towards 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.
Eze 42:12 And according to the doors of the chambers that [were] towards the south,
        [was] a door in the head of the way, the way directly before the wall towards the east, as one enters into them.
Eze 42:13
        Then said he to me, The north chambers [and] the south chambers which [are] before the separate place,
        they [are] Holy chambers, where the priests that approach to the LORD shall eat the most Holy [things]:
        there shall they lay the most Holy [things],
        and the food-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place [is] Holy.
Eze 42:14 When the priests enter in it, then shall they not go out of the Holy [place] into the outer court,
        but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they [are] Holy;
        and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to [those things] which [are] for the people.
Eze 42:15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house,
        he brought me forth towards the gate whose prospect [is] towards the east, and measured it around.
Eze 42:16
          He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubit reeds, with the measuring reed around.
Eze 42:17 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed around.
Eze 42:18 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
Eze 42:19 He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
Eze 42:20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall around, five hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad,
        to make a separation between the Holy [place] and the profane place.

Eze 43:1 And he brought me to the gate, the gate that looks towards the east:
Eze 43:2 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.
Eze 43:3 And [it was] according to the appearance of the vision which I saw,
        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 Kebar; and I fell upon My face.
Eze 43:4
        And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect [is] towards the east.
Eze 43:5 So the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
Eze 43:6 And I heard [Him] speaking to me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
Eze 43:7
        And He said to me, son of man,
        the place of My throne, and the place of the soles of My feet,
        where I shall dwell in the middle of the sons of Israel forever,
        and My Holy name, shall the House of Israel no more defile,
        [neither] they, nor their kings, by their whoredoms,
        nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places.
Eze 43:8 In their setting of their threshold by My thresholds,
        and their post by My posts, and the wall between me and them,
        they have even defiled My Holy name by their abominations that they have committed:
        therefore I have consumed them in My anger.
Eze 43:9 Now let them put away their whoredoms,
        and the carcasses of their kings, far from me, and I shall dwell in the middle of them forever.
Eze 43:10
        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.
Eze 43:11 And if they shall be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house,
        and the fashion of it, and its goings out, and its comings in, and all its forms, and all its ordinances,
        and all its forms, and all its laws: and write [it] in their sight,
        that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do them.
Eze 43:12 This [is] the Law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain, the whole limit of it around [shall be] most Holy.
        Behold, this [is] the Law of the house.
Eze 43:13 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 of it by its edge around [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place of the Altar.
Eze 43:14 And from the bottom [upon] the ground to the lower settle [shall be] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit;
        and from the lesser settle to the greater settle [shall be] four cubits, and the breadth [one] cubit.
Eze 43:15 So the Altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the Altar and upward [shall be] four horns.
Eze 43:16 And the Altar [shall be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve broad, square in the four squares of it.
Eze 43:17 And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and fourteen broad in its four squares;
        and the border about it [shall be] half a cubit; and the bottom of it [shall be] a cubit about;
        and its stairs shall look towards the east.

Eze 43:18 And He said to me, son of man,
        thus says the Lord JeHoVaH; These [are] the ordinances of the Altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings upon it, and to sprinkle blood upon it.
Eze 43:19 And Thou shall give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who approach to me, to minister to Me, says the Lord JeHoVaH, a young bull for a sin-offering.
Eze 43:20 And Thou shall take of his blood, and put [it] on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border around: thus shall Thou cleanse and purge it.
Eze 43:21 Thou shall take the bull also of the sin-offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, outside the Sanctuary.
Eze 43:22 And on the second day Thou shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the Altar, as they cleansed [it] with the bull.
Eze 43:23 When Thou have made an end of cleansing [it], Thou shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Eze 43:24 And Thou shall offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them [for] a burnt-offering to the LORD.
Eze 43:25 Seven days shall Thou prepare every day a goat [for] a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
Eze 43:26 Seven days shall they purge the Altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
Eze 43:27 And when these days have expired, it shall be, [that] upon the eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the Altar,
        and your peace-offerings: and I shall accept you, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 44:1
        And he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward Sanctuary which looks towards the east; and it [was] shut.
Eze 44:2 And the LORD said to me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it;
        because the LORD the God of Israel has entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
Eze 44:3 The Prince; the Prince, He shall sit in it to freely 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.
Eze 44:4 And he brought me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked,
        and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the House of the LORD: and I fell upon My face.
Eze 44:5
        And the LORD said to me, son of man mark well, and behold with Thy eyes,
        and hear with Thy ears all that I say to Thee concerning all the ordinances of the House of the LORD,
        and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every going forth of the Sanctuary;
Eze 44:6 And Thou shall say to the rebellious, to the House of Israel, Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        ye House of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations!
Eze 44:7 In that ye have brought [into My Sanctuary] strangers, uncircumcised in heart,
        and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My Sanctuary, to pollute it, My House,
        when ye offer My bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken My Covenant because of all your abominations.
Eze 44:8 And ye have not kept the charge of My Holy things: but ye have set keepers of My charge in My Sanctuary for yourselves.
Eze 44:9
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into My Sanctuary,
        of any son of a stranger that [is] among the sons of Israel.
Eze 44:10 And the Levites that have gone away far from Me, when Israel went astray,
        who went astray from Me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
Eze 44:11 Yet they shall be ministers in My Sanctuary, [having] charge at the gates of the House, and ministering to the House:
        they shall slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them;
Eze 44:12 because they ministered to them before their idols, and caused the House of Israel to fall into iniquity;
        therefore have I lifted up My hand against them, says the Lord JeHoVaH, and they shall bear their iniquity.
Eze 44:13 And they shall not come near to Me, to do the office of a priest to Me, nor to come near to any of My Holy [things], in the Holy of Holies:
        but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
Eze 44:14
        But I shall make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done in it.
Eze 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of My Sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me,
        they shall come near to Me to minister to Me, and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood, says the Lord JeHoVaH:
Eze 44:16 they shall enter into My Sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table, to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge.
Eze 44:17 And it shall be, [that] when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments;
        and no wool shall come upon them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Eze 44:18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins;
        they shall not gird [themselves] with anything that causes sweat.
Eze 44:19 And when they go forth into the outer court, into the outer court to the people,
        they shall put off their garments in which they ministered, and lay them in the Holy chambers,
        and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments;
Eze 44:20 neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads;
Eze 44:21 neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court;
Eze 44:22 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.
Eze 44:23 And they shall teach My people the [difference] between the Holy and profane,
        and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Eze 44:24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; [and] they shall judge it according to My Judgments:
        and they shall keep My Laws and My Statutes in all My assemblies; and they shall hallow My Sabbaths.
Eze 44:25 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 has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Eze 44:26 And after he is cleansed, they shall count to him seven days.
Eze 44:27 And in the day that he goes into the Sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister in the Sanctuary,
        he shall offer his sin-offering, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 44:28 And it shall be to them for an inheritance: I [AM] their inheritance:
        and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I [AM] their possession.
Eze 44:29 They shall eat the food-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering;
        and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
Eze 44:30 And the first of all the first-fruit of all [things], and every oblation of all, of every [sort] of your oblations, shall be the priests':
        ye shall also give to the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in Thy house.
Eze 44:31 The priests shall not eat of anything that is dead of itself, or torn, whether of fowl or beast.

Eze 45:1 And when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation to the LORD, a Holy portion of the land:
        the length [shall be] the length of twenty five thousand [reeds], and the breadth [shall be] ten thousand.
        This [shall be] Holy in all its borders on every side.
Eze 45:2 Of this there shall be for the Sanctuary five hundred [in length], with five hundred [in breadth],
        square around; and fifty cubits around for the suburbs of it.
Eze 45:3 And of this measure shall Thou measure the length of twenty five thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand:
        and in it shall be the Sanctuary [and] the Holy of Holies.
Eze 45:4 The Holy [portion] of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the Sanctuary,
        who shall come near to minister to the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and a Holy place for the Sanctuary.
Eze 45:5 And the twenty five 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.
Eze 45:6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, twenty five thousand long,
        opposed to the oblation of the Holy [portion]: it shall be for the whole House of Israel.
Eze 45:7 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] opposed to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.
Eze 45:8 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.
Eze 45:9
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, Let it suffice you, princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil,
        and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from My people, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Eze 45:10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
Eze 45:11 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 of it shall be after the homer.
Eze 45:12 And the shekel [shall be] twenty gerahs:
        twenty shekels + twenty five shekels + fifteen shekels{60}, shall be your mina.
Eze 45:13
        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;
Eze 45:14 concerning the portion 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.
Eze 45:15
        And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel;
        for a food-offering, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings,
        to make reconciliation{atonement} for them, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 45:16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the Prince in Israel.
Eze 45:17 And it shall be the Prince's part [to give] burnt-offerings, and food-offerings, and drink-offerings,
        in the Festivals, and in the New Moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all solemnities of the House of Israel:
        He shall prepare the sin-offering, and the food-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings,
        to make reconciliation{atonement} for the House of Israel.
Eze 45:18
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, In the first [month], in the first [day] of the month,
        Thou shall take a young bull without blemish, and cleanse the Sanctuary:
Eze 45:19 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.
Eze 45:20 And so Thou shall do the seventh [day] of the month for every one that goes astray,
        and for him [that is] simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
Eze 45:21
        In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month,
        ye shall have the Passover, a Festival of seven days; Unleavened [Bread] shall be eaten.
Eze 45:22 And upon that day shall the Prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull [for] a sin-offering.
Eze 45:23 And seven days of the Festival he shall prepare a burnt-offering to the LORD,
        seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily [for] a sin-offering.
Eze 45:24 And he shall prepare a food-offering of an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
Eze 45:25 In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the month,
        shall he do the like in the Festival of the seven days, according to the sin-offering,
        according to the burnt-offering, and according to the food-offering, and according to the oil.
Eze 46:1
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH, The gate of the inner court that looks towards 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.
Eze 46:2 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.
Eze 46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD on the Sabbaths and in the New Moons.
Eze 46:4 And the burnt-offering that the Prince shall offer to the LORD on the Sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
Eze 46:5 And the food-offering [shall be] an ephah for a ram, and the food-offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
Eze 46:6 And in the day of the New Moon [it shall be] a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
Eze 46:7 And he shall prepare a food-offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram,
        and for the lambs according as his hand shall be able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
Eze 46:8 And when the Prince shall enter, He shall go in by the way of the porch of [that] gate,
        and He shall go forth by the way of it.
Eze 46:9 But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn Festivals,
        he who enters in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate;
        and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate:
        he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth opposed to it.
Eze 46:10 And the Prince in the middle of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
Eze 46:11 And in the Festivals and in the solemnities the food-offering shall be an ephah to a bull,
        and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
Eze 46:12 Now when the Prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt-offering or peace-offerings voluntarily to the LORD,
        [one] shall then open to Him the gate that looks towards 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.
Eze 46:13 Thou shall daily prepare a burnt-offering to the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: Thou shall prepare it every morning.
Eze 46:14 And Thou shall prepare a food-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 food-offering continually by a perpetual ordinance to the LORD.
Eze 46:15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the food-offering, and the oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt-offering.
Eze 46:16 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        If the Prince shall give a gift to any of His sons, the inheritance of it shall be to His sons; it [shall be] their possession by inheritance.
Eze 46:17 But if he shall give a gift of His inheritance to one of His servants, then it shall be His to the year of liberty;
        afterward it shall return to the Prince: but his inheritance shall be to His sons for them.
Eze 46:18 And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession;
        [but] he shall give His sons' inheritance out of His own possession: that My people be not scattered every man from his possession.
Eze 46:19 And he brought me through the entry, which [was] at the side of the gate, into the Holy chambers of the priests,
        which looked towards the north: and behold, there [was] a place on the two sides westward.
Eze 46:20
        Then said he to me, This [is] the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering,
        where they shall bake the food-offering; that they bear [them] not out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.
Eze 46:21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court;
        and behold, in every corner of the court [there was] a court.
Eze 46:22 In the four corners of the court [there were] courts joined of forty [cubits] long and thirty broad:
        these four corners [were] of one measure.
Eze 46:23 And [there was] a row [of building] around in them, around them four,
        and [it was] made with boiling places under the rows around.
Eze 46:24
        Then said he to me, These [are] the places of them that boil,
        where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.

Eze 47:1 And he brought me back to the door of the house;
        and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward:
        for the front of the house [stood towards] the east,
        and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south [side] of the Altar.
Eze 47:2 Then he brought me out of the way of the gate northward,
        and led me about the way outside to the outer gate by the way that looks eastward;
        and behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
Eze 47:3 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.
Eze 47:4 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.
Eze 47:5 And he measured a thousand; [and it was] a river that I could not pass over:
        for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
Eze 47:6
        And He said to me, son of man, have Thou seen [this]?
        Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
Eze 47:7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river,
        [were] very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Eze 47:8 Then said he to me, These waters issue out towards 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.
Eze 47:9 And it shall be, [that] every living soul,
        which moves, wherever the rivers shall come, shall live:
        and there shall be a very great multitude of fish,
        because these waters shall come there: for they shall be healed;
        and everything shall live where the river comes.
Eze 47:10 And it shall be, [that] the fishers,
        shall stand upon it from En-gedi even to 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, very numerous.
Eze 47:11
        But its miry places and its cisterns shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
Eze 47:12 And by the river upon its bank, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for food,
        whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall its fruit be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to its months,
        because their waters they issued out of the Sanctuary: and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for medicine.

Eze 47:13 Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        This [shall be] the border, by which ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel:
        Joseph [shall have two] portions.
Eze 47:14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: [concerning] which I lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers:
        and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.
Eze 47:15
        And this [shall be] the border of the land towards the north side,
        from the Great Sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
Eze 47:16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which [is] between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath;
        Hazar-hatticon, which [is] by the border of Hauran.
Eze 47:17 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.
Eze 47:18
        And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead,
        and from the land of Israel [by] the Jordan, from the border to the east sea. And [this is] the east side.
Eze 47:19
        And the south side southward, from Tamar to the waters of strife [in] Kadesh,
        the river to the Great Sea. And [this is] the south side southward.
Eze 47:20
        The west side also [shall be] the Great Sea from the border,
        until a man comes opposed to Hamath. This [is] the west side.
Eze 47:21
        So shall ye divide this land to you according to the tribes of Israel.
Eze 47:22 And it shall be, [that] ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you,
        which shall beget sons among you: and they shall be to you as born in the country among the sons of Israel;
        they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
Eze 47:23 And it shall be, [that] in what tribe the stranger sojourners, there shall ye give him his inheritance, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 48:1
        And these [are] the names of the tribes. From the north end to the border of the way of Hethlon,
        as one goes to Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the limit of Hamath;
        for these are his sides east [and] west; one [portion for] Dan.
Eze 48:2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Asher.
Eze 48:3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Naphtali.
Eze 48:4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Manasseh.
Eze 48:5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Ephraim.
Eze 48:6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Reuben.
Eze 48:7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Judah.
Eze 48:8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side,
        shall be the offering which ye shall offer of twenty five thousand [reeds in] breadth,
        and [in] length as one of the [other] parts, from the east side to the west side:
        and the Sanctuary shall be in the middle of it.
Eze 48:9 The oblation that ye shall offer to the LORD,
        [shall be] of twenty five thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
Eze 48:10 And for them, for the priests, shall be [the Holy] oblation;
        towards the north twenty five thousand [in length],
        and towards the west ten thousand in breadth,
        and towards the east ten thousand in breadth,
        and towards the south twenty five thousand in length:
        and the Sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the middle of it.
Eze 48:11
        [It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok;
        who have kept My charge, who went not astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
Eze 48:12 And [this] oblation of the land that is offered shall be to them a thing most Holy, by the border of the Levites.
Eze 48:13 And opposed to the border of the priests the Levites,
        [shall have] twenty five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth:
        all the length [shall be] twenty five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
Eze 48:14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the first-fruit of the land: for [it is] Holy to the LORD.
Eze 48:15 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth opposed to the twenty five thousand,
        shall be a profane [place] for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs, and the city shall be in the middle of it.
Eze 48:16 And these [shall be] the measures of it;
        the north side four thousand five hundred,
        and the south side four thousand five hundred,
        and on the east side four thousand five hundred,
        and the west side four thousand five hundred.
Eze 48:17 And the suburbs of the city,
        shall be towards the north two hundred fifty,
        and towards the south two hundred fifty,
        and towards the east two hundred fifty,
        and towards the west two hundred fifty.
Eze 48:18 And the residue in length opposed to the oblation of the Holy [portion],
        [shall be] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward:
        and it shall be opposed to the oblation of the Holy [portion];
        and its increase shall be for food to them that serve the city.
Eze 48:19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.
Eze 48:20 All the oblation [shall be] twenty five thousand by twenty five thousand:
        ye shall offer the Holy oblation square, with the possession of the city.
Eze 48:21 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,
        opposed to the twenty five thousand of the oblation towards the east border,
        and westward opposed to the twenty five thousand towards the west border,
        opposed to the portions for the Prince: and it shall be the Holy oblation;
        and the Sanctuary of the house [shall be] in the middle of it.
Eze 48:22 And from the possession of the Levites,
        and from the possession of the city, [being] in the middle [of that] which is the Prince's,
        between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the Prince.
Eze 48:23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Benjamin.
Eze 48:24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Simeon.
Eze 48:25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Issachar.
Eze 48:26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Zebulun.
Eze 48:27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, one [portion for] Gad.
Eze 48:28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward,
        the border shall be even from Tamar [to] the waters of strife [in] Kadesh, [and] to the river towards the Great Sea.
Eze 48:29 This [is] the land which ye shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance,
        and these [are] their portions, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Eze 48:30
        And these [are] the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand five hundred measures.
Eze 48:31 And the gates of the city [shall be] after the names of the tribes of Israel:
        three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
Eze 48:32 And at the east side four thousand five hundred: and three gates;
        one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
Eze 48:33 And at the south side four thousand five hundred measures: and three gates;
        one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
Eze 48:34 And the west side four thousand five hundred, [with] their three gates:
        one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
Eze 48:35 The circuit [was] eighteen thousand [measures]: and the name of the city from [that] day [shall be], <JeHoVaH [is] There>.

Hos 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Hoshea)].
        The word of the LORD that came to Hoshea, the son of Beeri,
        in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hizkiah, kings of Judah,
        and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
Hos 1:2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hoshea. And the LORD said to Hoshea,
        Go take to Thee a wife addicted to whoredoms and children of whoredoms;
        for the land has committed great whoredom, [departing] from the LORD.
Hos 1:3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; who conceived, and bore him a son.
Hos 1:4 And the LORD said to him,
        Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little [while], and I shall visit the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu,
        and shall cause to cease the kingdom of the House of Israel.
Hos 1:5 And it shall be at that day, that I shall break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
Hos 1:6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. He [said] to him,
        Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I shall no more have mercy upon the House of Israel; but I shall utterly take them away.
Hos 1:7 But I shall have mercy upon the House of Judah, and shall save them by the LORD their God,
        and shall not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Hos 1:8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
Hos 1:9 Then He said,
        Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye [are] not My people, and I shall not be for you.
Hos 1:10 Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered;
        and it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said to them,
        Ye [are] not My people;
        there shall they be called, sons of the Living God. [Rom 9:26]
Hos 1:11 Then shall the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel be assembled,
        and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezreel.
Hos 2:1 Say ye to your brethren, Ammi{people};
        and to your sisters, Ruhamah{mercy}.

Hos 2:2 Plead with your mother,
        plead: for she [is] not My wife, neither [AM] I her husband:
        let her therefore put away her prostitutions out of her sight,
        and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Hos 2:3 lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born,
        and make her as a wilderness,
        and set her like a dry land,
        and kill her with thirst.
Hos 2:4 And I shall not have mercy upon her sons;
        for they [are] the sons of whoredoms.
Hos 2:5 For their mother has played the whore:
        she who conceived them has done shamefully:
        for she said, I shall go after my lovers,
        that give me my bread and my water,
        my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
Hos 2:6
        Therefore, behold, I shall hedge up Thy way with thorns,
        and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
Hos 2:7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them;
        and she shall seek them, but shall not find [them]:
        then shall she say, I shall go and return to my first husband; for then [was it] better with me than now.
Hos 2:8 For she did not know that I gave her grain, and new wine, and oil,
        and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Baal.
Hos 2:9 Therefore shall I return, and take away My grain in its time, and My new wine in its season,
        and I shall recover My wool and My flax [given] to cover her nakedness.
Hos 2:10 And now shall I disclose her shamefulness in the sight of her lovers,
        and none shall deliver her out of My hand.
Hos 2:11 And I shall cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days,
        her New Moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her solemn Festivals.
Hos 2:12 And I shall destroy her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said,
        These [are] my rewards that my lovers have given me:
        and I shall make them a forest,
        and the animals of the field shall eat them.
Hos 2:13 And I shall visit upon her the days of Baalim, in which she burned incense to them,
        and she decked herself with her rings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers,
        and forgot Me, said the LORD.
Hos 2:14 Therefore, behold, I shall allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to her heart.
Hos 2:15 And I shall give 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.
Hos 2:16
        And it shall be at that day, said the LORD,
        [that] Thou shall call Me Ishi{my Husband};
        and shall call me no more Baali{my Baal}.
Hos 2:17 For I shall take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth,
        and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Hos 2:18 And in that day shall I make a Covenant for them;
        with the animals of the field, and with the fowls of the air, and [with] the creeping things of the ground:
        and I shall break the bow and the sword,
        and the battle out of the Earth,
        and shall make them to lie down in safety.
Hos 2:19 And I shall betroth Thee to me forever;
        and I shall betroth Thee to me in righteousness,
        and in judgment, and in kindness, and in mercies.
Hos 2:20 I shall even betroth Thee to me in faithfulness:
        and Thou shall know the LORD.
Hos 2:21 And it shall be in that day, I shall reply, said the LORD,
        I shall reply the Heavens, and they shall reply the Earth;
Hos 2:22 and the Earth shall hear the grain, and the new wine, and the oil;
         and they shall hear Jezreel.
Hos 2:23 And I shall sow her to Me in the Earth;
        and I shall have mercy upon on Lo-ruhamah{no mercy};
        and I shall say to Lo-ammi{not [My] people},
        Thou [are] My people; and they shall say, Thou [are] my God.

Hos 3:1 And the LORD said to me, Go yet, love a woman beloved by [her] friend, yet an adulteress,
        even as the LORD loves the sons of Israel,
        who look to other GODS, and love raisin cakes of grapes.
Hos 3:2 So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and [for] a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley:
Hos 3:3 and I said to her,
        Thou shall abide for me many days; Thou shall not play the whore,
        and Thou shall not be for [another] man: so [shall] I also [be] for Thee.
Hos 3:4 For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without a king and without a prince,
        and without a sacrifice, and without a pillar,
        and without an ephod, and [without] teraphim.
Hos 3:5 And shall the sons 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.

Hos 4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye sons of Israel: for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,
        because [there is] no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of GOD in the land.
Hos 4:2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery,
        they break out, and blood touches blood.
Hos 4:3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwells in it shall languish,
        with the animals of the field, and with the fowls of the air;
        yes, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
Hos 4:4
        Yet let no man contend, nor reprove another:
        for Thy people [are] as they that contend with the priest.
Hos 4:5 Therefore shall Thou fall in the day,
        and the prophet also shall fall with Thee in the night,
        and I shall destroy Thy mother.
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
        because Thou have rejected knowledge,
        I shall also reject Thee, that Thou shall be no priest to Me:
        seeing Thou have forgotten the Law of Thy God,
        I shall also forget Thy sons.
Hos 4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against Me: [therefore] shall I change their glory into shame.
Hos 4:8 They eat up the sin of My people, and they lifted their soul on their iniquity.
Hos 4:9 And there shall be, like people, like priest:
        and I shall punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

Hos 4:10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall be guilty of whoredom,
        and shall not increase: because they have ceased to take heed to the LORD.
Hos 4:11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
Hos 4:12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares to them:
        for the spirit of whoredom has caused [them] to go astray,
        and they have fornicated from under their God.
Hos 4:13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains,
        and burn incense upon the hills,
        under oaks and poplars and terebinths,
        because the shade of them is agreeable:
        therefore your daughters shall be whores,
        and your spouses shall commit adultery.
Hos 4:14 I shall not punish your daughters when they are guilty of whoredom,
        nor your spouses when they commit adultery:
        for they themselves are separated with whores,
        and they sacrifice with harlots:
        therefore the people [that] does not understand shall fall.
Hos 4:15 Though Thou, Israel, play the whore, [yet] let not Judah offend;
        and come not ye to Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-Aven,
        nor swear, The LORD lives.
Hos 4:16 For Israel slides back as a backsliding heifer:
        now the LORD shall feed them as a lamb in a large place.
Hos 4:17 Ephraim [is] joined to idols: let him alone.
Hos 4:18 Their drink is sour: they have been guilty of whoredoms continually: her shields{protectors} [with] shame do love, Give ye.
Hos 4:19 The wind has bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

Hos 5:1 Hear ye this, priests; and listen, ye,
        House of Israel; and give ye ear,
        House of the king; for judgment [is] towards you,
        because ye have been a snare on Mizpah,
        and a net spread upon Tabor.
Hos 5:2 And the rebels are profound to make slaughter, though I [have been] a rebuker of them all.
Hos 5:3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, Ephraim,
        Thou are guilty of whoredom, [and] Israel is defiled.
Hos 5:4 They shall not frame their doings to turn to their God:
        for the spirit of whoredom [is] in the middle of them,
        and they have not known the LORD.
Hos 5:5 And the pride of Israel does testify to his face:
        therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity;
        Judah also shall fall with them.
Hos 5:6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD;
        but they shall not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.
Hos 5:7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD:
        for they have begotten strange sons: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Hos 5:8
        Blow a shofar in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah:
        cry aloud [at] Beth-Aven, after Thee, Benjamin.
Hos 5:9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke:
        among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
Hos 5:10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound:
        [therefore] I shall pour out My wrath upon them like water.
Hos 5:11 Ephraim [is] oppressed [and] broken in judgment,
        because he willingly walked after the Commandment.
Hos 5:12 Therefore [shall] I [be] to Ephraim as a moth,
        and to the House of Judah as rottenness.
Hos 5:13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,
        and Judah [saw] his wound,
        then Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb:
        yet he could not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
Hos 5:14 For I [shall be] to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the House of Judah:
        I, [even] I, shall tear and go away; I shall take away, and none shall rescue [him].
Hos 5:15 I shall go [and] return to My place, until they acknowledge their offence,
        and seek My face: in their affliction they shall seek me early.
Hos 6:1 Come, and let us return to the LORD:
        for He has torn, and He shall heal us; He has smitten, and He shall bind us up.
Hos 6:2 After two days shall He revive us: in the third day shall He raise us up,
        and we shall live in His sight.
Hos 6:3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: His going forth is prepared as the morning;
        and He shall come to us as the Latter Rain [and] Former Rain to the Earth.

Hos 6:4 Ephraim, what shall I do to Thee? Judah, what shall I do to Thee?
        For your goodness [is] as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.
Hos 6:5 Therefore have I hewed [them] through the prophets;
        I have slain them by the words of My mouth:
        and My Judgment [are as] the light [that] goes forth.
Hos 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: [Mat 9:13]
        and the knowledge of GOD more than burnt-offerings.
Hos 6:7 But they like men have transgressed the Covenant:
        there have they dealt treacherously against Me.
Hos 6:8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of lawlessness, [and is] polluted with blood.
Hos 6:9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man,
        [so] the company of priests do murder,
        in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
Hos 6:10 I have seen a horrible thing in the House of Israel:
        there [is] the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Hos 6:11 Also, Judah, he has set a harvest for Thee,
        when I returned the captivity of My people.
Hos 7:1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was disclosed,
        and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood;
        and the thief comes in, [and] the troop of robbers spoils outside.
Hos 7:2 And they consider not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness:
        now their own doings have beset them around; they are before My face.
Hos 7:3 They make the king glad with their wickedness,
        and the princes with their lies.
Hos 7:4 They [are] all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker,
        [who] ceases from raising after he has kneaded the dough, until it is leavened.
Hos 7:5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine;
        he stretched out his hand with scorners.
Hos 7:6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven,
        while they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
Hos 7:7 They are all hot as an oven,
        and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen:
        [there is] none among them that calls to Me.
Hos 7:8 Ephraim, he has mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Hos 7:9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knows [it] not:
        yes, grey hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knows not.
Hos 7:10 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek Him for all this.

Hos 7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Hos 7:12 When they shall go, I shall spread My net upon them; I shall bring them down as the fowls of the air;
        I shall chastise them, as their Congregation has heard.
Hos 7:13 Woe to them! For they have fled from Me:
        destruction to them! Because they have transgressed against Me:
        though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against Me.
Hos 7:14 And they have not cried to Me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds:
        they assemble themselves for grain and new wine, [and] they rebel against Me.
Hos 7:15 Though I have bound [and] strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against Me.
Hos 7:16 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.

Hos 8:1 [Set] the shofar to Thy mouth; he comes as an eagle against the House of the LORD,
        because they have transgressed My Covenant, and trespassed against My Law.
Hos 8:2 Israel shall cry to Me, my God, we know Thee.
Hos 8:3 Israel has cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Hos 8:4 They have set up kings, but not by Me: they have made princes,
        and I knew [it] not: of their silver and their gold have they made for themselves idols,
        that they may be cut off.
Hos 8:5 Thy calf, Samaria, has cast [Thee] off; My anger is kindled against them:
        until when [shall it be] before they attain to innocence?
Hos 8:6 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.
Hos 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind:
        it has no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if it shall yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Hos 8:8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the gentiles as a vessel in which [is] no pleasure.
Hos 8:9 For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim has hired lovers.
Hos 8:10 Yes, though they have hired among the nations,
        now shall I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes;
Hos 8:11 because Ephraim has made many Altars to sin, Altars shall be to him to sin.
Hos 8:12 I have written to him a myriad things of My Law, [but] they were counted as a strange thing.
Hos 8:13 They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of My offerings,
        and eat [it]; [but] the LORD accepts them not;
        now shall He remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
Hos 8:14 For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and builds temples;
        and Judah has multiplied fortified cities:
        and I shall send a fire upon his cities,
        and it shall devour her palaces.
Hos 9:1 Rejoice not, Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for Thou have apostatized from Thy God,
        Thou have loved a reward upon every threshing-floor of grain.
Hos 9:2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
Hos 9:3 They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.
Hos 9:4 They shall not offer wine-[offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to Him:
        their sacrifices [shall be] to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted:
        for their bread for their soul shall not come into the House of the LORD.
Hos 9:5 What shall ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the Festival of the LORD?
Hos 9:6 For behold, 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.
Hos 9:7 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 Thy iniquity, and the great hatred.
Hos 9:8 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.
Hos 9:9 They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] He shall remember their iniquity, He shall visit their sins.

Hos 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor,
        and separated themselves to [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.
Hos 9:11 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a fowl, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Hos 9:12 Though they bring up their sons, yet shall I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]:
         so woe also to them when I depart from them!
Hos 9:13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his sons to the murderer.
Hos 9:14 Give them, LORD: what shall Thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Hos 9:15 All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I shall drive them out of My House,
        I shall love them no more: all their princes [are] rebels.
Hos 9:16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet shall I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
Hos 9:17 My God shall cast them away, because they did not listen to Him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Hos 10:1 Israel [is] an empty vine, he brings forth fruit to himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has multiplied the Altars;
        according to the goodness of his land they have made pillars.
Hos 10:2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: He shall break down their Altars,
        He shall destroy their pillars.
Hos 10:3 For now they shall say,
        We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
Hos 10:4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a Covenant:
        thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Hos 10:5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-Aven:
        for its people shall mourn over it, and its priests [that] rejoiced on it,
        for its glory, because it is departed from it.
Hos 10:6 It shall also be carried to Assyria, [for] a present to king Jareb:
        Ephraim shall receive shame,
        Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Hos 10:7 Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the face of the waters.
Hos 10:8 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. [Luk 23:30]
Hos 10:9 Israel, Thou have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood:
        the battle in Gibeah against the sons of iniquity did not overtake them.
Hos 10:10 [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.
Hos 10:11 And Ephraim [is as] a heifer [that is] taught, [and] loves to tread out [the grain]; but I passed over upon her fair neck:
        I shall make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plough, [and] Jacob shall break his clods.
Hos 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground:
        for [it is] time to seek the LORD, until He shall come and reign righteousness upon you.
Hos 10:13 Ye have ploughed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies:
        because Thou have trusted in Thy way, in the multitude of Thy mighty men.
Hos 10:14 Therefore shall a tumult come among Thy people, and all Thy fortresses shall be plundered,
        as Shalman plundered Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon [her] sons.
Hos 10:15 So shall Beth-El do to you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off.

Hos 11:1 When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him;
        and Out of Egypt I called My Son. [Mat 2:15]
Hos 11:2 [As] they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim,
        and burned incense to graven images.
Hos 11:3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms;
        but they knew not that I healed them.
Hos 11:4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love:
        and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws,
        and I laid food for them.
Hos 11:5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt,
        but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
Hos 11:6 And the sword shall abide on his cities,
        and shall consume his branches, and devour [them],
        because of their own counsels.
Hos 11:7 My people are bent to backsliding from Me:
        though they called them to the Most High,
        none at all would exalt Him.
Hos 11:8 How shall I give Thee up, Ephraim?
        [How] shall I deliver Thee, Israel?
        How shall I make Thee as Admah?
        [How] shall I set Thee as Zeboim?
        My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together.
Hos 11:9 I shall not execute the fierceness of My anger,
        I shall not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [AM] God, and not man;
        the Holy [One] in the middle of Thee: and I shall not enter into the city.
Hos 11:10 They shall walk after the LORD: He shall roar like a lion:
        when He shall roar, then the sons shall tremble from the west.
Hos 11:11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt,
        and as a dove out of the land of Assyria:
        and I shall place them in their houses, said the LORD.

Hos 11:12 Ephraim surrounds Me with lies, and the House of Israel with deceit:
        but Judah yet roams with God, and is faithful with the Saints.
Hos 12:1 Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind:
        he daily multiplies lies and desolation; and they do make a Covenant with the Assyrians,
        and oil is carried into Egypt.
Hos 12:2 The LORD has also a controversy with Judah, and shall punish Jacob according to his ways;
        according to his doings shall He recompense him.
Hos 12:3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and by his strength he had power with GOD:
Hos 12:4 yes, he had power over the Angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to Him:
        He found Him [in] Beth-El, and there He spoke with us;
Hos 12:5 even the LORD, God of Sabaoth; the LORD [is] His memorial.
Hos 12:6 Therefore turn Thou to Thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on Thy God continually.
Hos 12:7 [He is] a merchant; the balances of deceit [are] in his hand. He loves to oppress.
Hos 12:8 And Ephraim said, Yet I have become rich, I have found for myself substance:
        [in] all My labours they shall find no iniquity in me that [were] sin.
Hos 12:9 And I [that AM] the LORD Thy God from the land of Egypt shall yet make Thee to dwell in Tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn Festival.
Hos 12:10 I have also spoken through the prophets,
        and I have multiplied visions,
        and used similitudes by the hand of ministry of the prophets.
Hos 12:11 [Is there] iniquity [in] Gilead?
        Surely, they are vanity: they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal;
        yes, their Altars [are] as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
Hos 12:12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].
Hos 12:13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was He preserved.
Hos 12:14 Ephraim provoked Him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall He leave his blood upon him,
        and his reproach shall his Lord return to him.

Hos 13:1 When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
Hos 13:2 And now they sin more, and have made them molten images of their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding,
        all of it the work of artificers: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
Hos 13:3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff [that] is driven with the whirlwind from the threshing-floor,
        and as the smoke from the chimney.
Hos 13:4 Yet I [AM] the LORD Thy God from the land of Egypt,
        and Thou shall know no GOD but Me: for [there is] no Saviour besides Me.
Hos 13:5 I did know Thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Hos 13:6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten Me.
Hos 13:7 Therefore I shall be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way shall I observe [them].
Hos 13:8 I shall meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her whelps], and shall rend the lobe of their heart,
        and there shall I devour them like a lion: the wild animal shall tear them.
Hos 13:9 Israel, Thou are corrupted; but in Me [is] Thy help.
Hos 13:10 Where is Thy king: that may save Thee in all Thy cities?
        And Thy judges of whom Thou said, Give me a king and princes?
Hos 13:11 I gave Thee a king in My anger, and took [him] away in My wrath.
Hos 13:12 The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid.
Hos 13:13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he [is] an unwise son;
        for he should not stay long in [the place of] the breaking forth of sons.
Hos 13:14 I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol;
        I shall redeem them from death:
        Death, where [is] Thy sting?
        Sheol, where [is] Thy victory? [1Co 15:55]
        Repentance shall be hid from My eyes.
Hos 13:15 Though he is fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come,
        the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness,
        and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up.
        He shall pillage the treasure of all pleasant vessels.

Hos 13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she has rebelled against her God:
        they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces,
        and their pregnant women shall be ripped up.
Hos 14:1 Israel, return to the LORD Thy God; for Thou have fallen by Thy iniquity.
Hos 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say to Him,
        Take away all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously: so shall we render the calves{fruits} of our lips.
Hos 14:3 Ashur shall not save us; we shall not ride upon horses: neither shall we say any more to the work of our hands,
        [Ye are] our gods: for in Thee the fatherless finds mercy.
Hos 14:4 I shall heal their backsliding, I shall love them freely: for My anger is turned away from him.
Hos 14:5 I shall be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Hos 14:6 His branches shall spread, and his glory shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
Hos 14:7 They that dwell under his shade shall return;
        they shall revive [as] the grain, and grow as the vine: the scent of it [shall be] as the wine of Lebanon.
Hos 14:8
        Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols?
        I have replied [him], and observed him:
        I [am] like a green fir-tree. From Me is Thy fruit found.
Hos 14:9 Who [is] wise, and he shall understand these [things]?
        Prudent, and he shall know them?
        For the ways of the LORD [are] right, and the just shall walk in them:
        but the transgressors shall fall in them.

Joe 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Joel)].
        The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
Joe 1:2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land.
        Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
Joe 1:3 Tell ye your sons of it, and [let] your sons [tell] their sons,
        and their sons another generation.
Joe 1:4 That which the palmer-worm has left has the locust eaten;
        and that which the locust has left has the canker-worm eaten;
        and that which the canker-worm has left has the caterpillar eaten.
Joe 1:5
        Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl,
        all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
Joe 1:6 For a nation is come up upon My land, strong, and without number,
        whose teeth [are] the teeth of a lion,
        and he has the fangs of a great lion.
Joe 1:7 He has laid My vine waste, and barked My fig-tree:
        He has made it clean bare, and cast [it] away; its branches are made white.
Joe 1:8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
Joe 1:9 The food-offering and the drink-offering is cut off from the House of the LORD;
        the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn.
Joe 1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourns; for the grain is wasted;
        the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
Joe 1:11 Be ye ashamed, ye husbandmen;
        howl, ye vine-dressers,
        for the wheat and for the barley;
        because the harvest of the field has perished.
Joe 1:12 The vine is dried up, and the fig-tree languishes;
        the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the apple-tree,
        all the trees of the field, are withered:
        because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
Joe 1:13 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 food-offering and the drink-offering is withheld from the house of your God.
Joe 1:14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly,
        gather the elders [and] all the inhabitants of the land [into] the House of the LORD your God.
        And cry to the LORD,
Joe 1:15 Ah! For the day! For the Day of the LORD [is] near,
        and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
Joe 1:16 Is not the food cut off before our eyes,
        [and] joy and gladness from the House of our God?
Joe 1:17 The seed has perished under their clods,
        the granaries are laid desolate,
        the barns are broken down;
        for the grain is withered.
Joe 1:18 How do the beasts groan!
        The herds of oxen are perplexed,
        because they have no pasture;
        yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
Joe 1:19 LORD, to Thee shall I cry:
        for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness,
        and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.
Joe 1:20 The beasts of the field cry also to Thee:
        for the rivers of waters are dried up,
        and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

Joe 2:1 Blow a shofar in Zion, and sound an alarm in My Holy Mount:
        let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the Day of the LORD comes,
        for [it is] near;
Joe 2:2 a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness,
        as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong;
        there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it,
        to the years from generation to generation.
Joe 2:3 A fire devours before them;
        and behind them a flame burns:
        the land [is] as the Garden of Eden before them,
        and behind them a desolate wilderness;
        and nothing shall escape them.
Joe 2:4 The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of horses;
        and as horsemen, so shall they run;
Joe 2:5 like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap,
        like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble,
        as a strong people set in battle array.
Joe 2:6
        Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness;
Joe 2:7 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:
Joe 2:8 neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path:
        and [when] they fall upon the weapon, they shall not be wounded;
Joe 2:9 they shall run back and forth in the city; they shall run upon the wall,
        they shall climb upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
Joe 2:10 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.
Joe 2:11 And the LORD shall utter His voice before His army: for His camp [is] very great:
        for [He is] strong that executes His word: for the Day of the LORD [is] great,
        and very awesome; and who can abide it?
Joe 2:12
        Therefore also now, said the LORD, Turn ye even to Me with all your heart,
        and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Joe 2:13 and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to the LORD your God: for He [is] gracious and merciful,
        slow to anger, and of great kindness, and relents of the evil.
Joe 2:14 Who knows [if] He shall return and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him;
        a food-offering and a drink-offering to the LORD your God?
Joe 2:15
        Blow a shofar in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
Joe 2:16 gather the people, sanctify the Congregation, assemble the elders,
        gather the children, and those that suck the breasts:
        let the Bridegroom go forth from His chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Joe 2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the Altar,
        and let them say, Spare Thy people, LORD, and give not Thy heritage to reproach,
        that the heathen should rule over them: why should they say among the people, Where [is] their God?
Joe 2:18 Then shall the LORD be jealous for His land, and pity His people.
Joe 2:19
        And the LORD shall answer and say to His people, Behold, I shall send you grain, and new wine, and oil,
        and ye shall be satisfied with it; and I shall no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
Joe 2:20 but I shall remove far from you the northern [army], and shall drive him into a land barren and desolate,
        with his face towards the east sea,
        and his hinder part towards the utmost sea,
        and his stench shall come up,
        and his ill savour shall come up,
        because he has done great things.
Joe 2:21 Fear not, land; be glad and rejoice:
        for the LORD shall do great things.
Joe 2:22
        Be not afraid, ye <beasts of the field>:
        for the pastures of the <wilderness> do sprout,
        for the tree bears its <fruit>, the <fig-tree> and the <vine> do yield their strength.
Joe 2:23
        Be glad then, ye sons of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God:
        for He has given you the Former Rain of righteousness,
        and He shall cause to come down for you the Rain,
        the Former Rain, and the Latter Rain in the first [month].
Joe 2:24 And the threshing-floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
Joe 2:25 And I shall restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the canker-worm,
        and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm,
        My great army which I sent among you.
Joe 2:26
        And ye shall freely eat, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God,
        that has dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed.
Joe 2:27 And ye shall know that I [AM] in the middle of Israel, and [that] I [AM] the LORD your God,
        and none else: and My people shall never be ashamed.

Joe 2:28 And it shall be in the Last Days, says GOD,
        I shall 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 elders shall dream dreams. [Act 2:17]
Joe 2:29 And yet on My servants, and on My female servants,
        I shall in those days, pour out of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy. [Act 2:18]
Joe 2:30 And I shall give wonders in the Heaven above, and signs on the Earth beneath; blood,
        and fire, and vapour of smoke. [Act 2:19]
Joe 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
        before that great and notable Day of the LORD [is] to come. [Act 2:20]
Joe 2:32 And it shall be, [that] whoever may call on the name of the LORD, shall be saved: [Act 2:21 Rom 10:13]
        for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said,
        and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Joe 3:1 For behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Joe 3:2 I shall also gather all nations, and shall bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat,
        and shall plead with them there for My people and [for] My heritage Israel,
        whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided My land.
Joe 3:3 And they have cast lots for My people; and have given a boy for a whore,
        and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
Joe 3:4
        Yes, and what have ye to do with Me, Tyre, and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
        Will ye render Me a recompense?
        And if ye recompense Me,
        swiftly [and] speedily I shall return your recompense,
        upon your own head;
Joe 3:5 because ye have taken My silver and My gold,
        and have carried into your temples My goodly pleasant things.
Joe 3:6 And the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem have ye sold to the sons of the Grecians,
        that ye might remove them far from their border.
Joe 3:7 Behold, I shall raise them out of the place where ye have sold them,
        and shall return your recompense upon your own head:
Joe 3:8 and I shall sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah,
        and they shall sell them to the Sabeans,
        to a people far off: for the LORD has spoken.

Joe 3:9 Proclaim ye this among the gentiles;
        Prepare war, wake up the mighty men,
        let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.
Joe 3:10 Beat your plough-shares into swords,
        and your pruning-hooks into pikes:
        let the weak say, I [am] strong.
Joe 3:11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen,
        and gather yourselves together around:
        there cause Thy mighty to come down, LORD.
Joe 3:12 Let the heathen be awakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat:
        for there shall I sit to judge{shaphat} all the heathen on every side.
Joe 3:13 Put ye in the sickle, for the Harvest is ripe: come, [Mar 4:29]
        go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness [is] great.
Joe 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the Day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision.
Joe 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Joe 3:16 And the LORD shall roar out of Zion,
        and utter His voice from Jerusalem;
        and the Heavens and the Earth shall shake;
        but the LORD [shall be] the Hope of His people,
        and the Strength of the sons of Israel.
Joe 3:17 So shall ye know that I [AM] the LORD your God dwelling in Zion,
        My Holy Mount: then shall Jerusalem be Holy,
        and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
Joe 3:18
        And it shall be in that day,
        [that] the mountains shall drop down sweet wine,
        and the hills shall flow with milk,
        and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters,
        and a fountain shall come forth from the House of the LORD,
        and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Joe 3:19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness,
        for the violence [against] the sons of Judah,
        because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Joe 3:20 But Judah shall dwell forever,
        and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Joe 3:21 For I shall cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwells in Zion.

Amo 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Amos)].
        The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa,
        which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah,
        and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel,
        two years before the earthquake.

Amo 1:2 And he said, The LORD shall roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem;
        and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
Amo 1:3
        Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I shall not turn away:
        because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
Amo 1:4 And I shall send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
Amo 1:5 I shall break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven,
        and him that holds the sceptre from the house of Eden:
        and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, said the LORD.
Amo 1:6
        Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I shall not turn away:
        because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver [them] up to Edom:
Amo 1:7 and I shall send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its palaces:
Amo 1:8 And I shall cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holds the sceptre from Ashkelon,
        and I shall turn My hand against Ekron:
        and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Amo 1:9
        Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I shall not turn away:
        because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly Covenant:
Amo 1:10 and I shall send a fire on the wall of Tyre, which shall devour its palaces:
Amo 1:11
        Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I shall not turn away:
        because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity,
        and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever:
Amo 1:12 and I shall send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Amo 1:13
        Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I shall not turn away:
        because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
Amo 1:14 And I shall kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour its palaces,
        with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
Amo 1:15 and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, said the LORD.
Amo 2:1
        Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I shall not turn away:
        because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
Amo 2:2 and I shall send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth:
        and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and] with the voice of the shofar:
Amo 2:3 and I shall cut off the judge from the middle of it, and shall slay all its princes with him, said the LORD.
Amo 2:4
        Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I shall not turn away:
        because they have despised the Law of the LORD, and have not kept His Statutes,
        and their lies caused them to astray, after which their fathers have walked:
Amo 2:5 and I shall send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Amo 2:6
        Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I shall not turn away:
        because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
Amo 2:7 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 shall go in to the [same] maid, to profane My Holy name:
Amo 2:8 and they lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to pledge by every Altar,
        and they drink the wine of the fined [in] the house of their god.
Amo 2:9
        Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,
        whose height [was] like the height of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the oaks;
        yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Amo 2:10 Also I brought you from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness,
        to possess the land of the Amorite.
Amo 2:11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites.
        [Is it] not even thus, ye sons of Israel? Said the LORD.

Amo 2:12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
Amo 2:13 Behold, I [AM] pressed under you, as a cart is pressed [that is] full of sheaves.
Amo 2:14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift,
        and the strong shall not strengthen his force,
        neither shall the mighty deliver his soul:
Amo 2:15 neither shall he stand that handles the bow;
        and he [that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]:
        neither shall he who rides the horse deliver his soul.
Amo 2:16 He [that is] courageous of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, said the LORD.

Amo 3:1 Hear this word which the LORD has spoken against you, sons of Israel,
        against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Amo 3:2 Only you have I known of all the families of the Earth:
        therefore I shall punish you for all your iniquities.
Amo 3:3 Shall two walk together, if they have not met?
Amo 3:4 Shall a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey?
        Shall a young lion cry out of his den, if he has taken nothing?
Amo 3:5 Shall a bird fall in a snare upon the Earth, where no trap [is] for him?
        Shall [one] take up a snare from the Earth, and have taken nothing at all?
Amo 3:6 Shall a shofar be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?
        Shall there be affliction in a city, and the LORD has not done [it]?
Amo 3:7 Surely, the Lord JeHoVaH shall do nothing,
        but He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
Amo 3:8 The lion has roared, who shall not fear?
        The Lord JeHoVaH has spoken, who can but prophesy?

Amo 3:9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt,
        and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria,
        and behold the great tumults in the middle of it,
        and the oppressed in the middle of it.
Amo 3:10 For they know not to do right, said the LORD,
        who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
Amo 3:11 Therefore thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        an adversary [there shall be] even around the land;
        and he shall bring down Thy strength from Thee,
        and Thy palaces shall be plundered.
Amo 3:12 Thus says the LORD;
        As the shepherd takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs,
        or a piece of an ear; so shall the sons of Israel be taken out,
        that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed,
        and in Damascus [in] a bedstead.
Amo 3:13 Hear ye, and testify in the House of Jacob, says the Lord JeHoVaH, the God of Sabaoth,
Amo 3:14 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him,
        I shall also visit the Altars of Beth-El: and the horns of the Altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
Amo 3:15 And I shall smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish,
        and the great houses shall have an end, said the LORD.
Amo 4:1
        Hear this word, ye heifers 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.
Amo 4:2 The Lord JeHoVaH has sworn by His Holiness, that behold, the days shall come upon you,
        and He shall take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fish-hooks,
Amo 4:3 and ye shall go out at the breaches, every [which is] before her;
        and ye shall cast [them] into the palace, said the LORD.

Amo 4:4 Come to Beth-El and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression;
        and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] on the third day your tithes:
Amo 4:5 and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim [and] publish the free-offerings:
        for this pleases you, ye sons of Israel, says the Lord JeHoVaH.
Amo 4:6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places:
        yet have ye not returned to Me, said the LORD.
Amo 4:7
        And also I have withheld the rain from you, when [there were] yet three months to the harvest:
        and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city:
        one piece was rained upon, and the piece on which it rained not withered.
Amo 4:8 So two [or] three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied:
        yet have ye not returned to Me, said the LORD.
Amo 4:9
        I have smitten you with blasting and mildew:
        when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees increased,
        the palmer-worm devoured [them]:
        yet have ye not returned to Me, said the LORD.
Amo 4:10
        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 stench of your camps to come up to your nostrils:
        yet have ye not returned to Me, said the LORD.
Amo 4:11
        I have overthrown [some] of you, as GOD overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
        and ye were as a fire-brand plucked out of the burning:
        yet have ye not returned to Me, said the LORD.

Amo 4:12 Therefore thus I shall do to Thee, Israel:
         [and] because I shall do this to Thee, prepare to meet Thy God, Israel.

Amo 4:13 For behold, He who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what [is] His thought,
        that makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the Earth,
        the LORD, the God of Sabaoth, [is] His name.

Amo 5:1 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, a lamentation,
        {Lamentation to the House of Israel}.
        House of Israel.
Amo 5:2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise!
        She is forsaken upon her land; [there is] none to raise her up.
Amo 5:3 For thus says the Lord JeHoVaH;
        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.
Amo 5:4 For thus says the LORD;
        to the House of Israel,
        Seek ye Me, and ye shall live:
Amo 5:5 but seek not Beth-El,
        nor enter into Gilgal,
        and pass not to Beer-Sheba:
        for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
        and Beth-El shall come to naught.
Amo 5:6 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.
Amo 5:7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood,
        and leave off righteousness on the Earth,
Amo 5:8
        [seek Him] that makes the Pleiades and Orion,
        and turns the shades of death into the morning,
        and makes the day dark with night:
        that calls for the waters of the sea,
        and pours them out upon the face of the Earth:
        JeHoVaH [is] His name.
Amo 5:9 That strengthens the spoiled against the strong,
        so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
Amo 5:10 They hate him that rebukes in the gate,
        and they abhor him that speaks uprightly.
Amo 5:11 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.
Amo 5:12 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.
Amo 5:13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for this time [is] evil.
Amo 5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of Sabaoth,
        shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
Amo 5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good,
        and establish judgment in the gate:
        it may be that the LORD, God of Sabaoth,
        shall be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Amo 5:16 Therefore the LORD, the God of Sabaoth, the Lord,
        said thus; Wailing [shall be] in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways,
        Alas! Alas! And they shall call the husbandman to mourning,
        and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailing.
Amo 5:17 And in all vineyards [shall be] wailing: for I shall pass through Thee, said the LORD.

Amo 5:18 Woe to you that desire the Day of the LORD!
        To what end [is] it for you?
        The Day of the LORD [is] darkness, and not light.
Amo 5:19 As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house,
        and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Amo 5:20 [Shall] not the Day of the LORD [be] darkness, and not light?
        Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Amo 5:21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I shall not smell in your solemn assemblies.
Amo 5:22 Though ye offer Me burnt-offerings and your food-offerings,
        I shall not accept [them]; neither shall I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
Amo 5:23 Take Thou away from me the noise of Thy songs; for I shall not hear the melody of Thy viols.
Amo 5:24 But let judgment flow down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Amo 5:25 Ye House of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices [during] forty years in the wilderness? [Act 7:42]
Amo 5:26 And yet, ye took up the Tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Chiun{Remphan},
        figures which ye made to worship them. [Act 7:43]
Amo 5:27 Therefore I shall exile you beyond Damascus, [Act 7:43]
        said the LORD, whose name [is] The God of Sabaoth.

Amo 6:1 Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria,
        [who are] named chief of the nations, to whom the House of Israel came!
Amo 6:2 Pass ye to Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines:
        [are they] better than these kingdoms? Or their border greater than your border?
Amo 6:3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
Amo 6:4 that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their bedsteads,
        and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the middle of the stall;
Amo 6:5 that chant to the sound of the psaltery, [and] invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
Amo 6:6 that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments:
        but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Amo 6:7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive,
        and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
Amo 6:8 The Lord JeHoVaH has sworn by His soul, said the LORD the God of Sabaoth,
        I abhor the excellence of Jacob,
        and hate his palaces: therefore I shall deliver up the city with all its abundance.
Amo 6:9 And it shall be, if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.
Amo 6:10 And a man's uncle shall take him up,
        and he who burns him, to bring the bones out of the house,
        and shall say to him that [is] by the sides of the house,
        [Is there] yet [any] with Thee?
        And he shall say, No.
        Then shall he say, Be silent: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
Amo 6:11
        For behold, the LORD commands, and He shall smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
Amo 6:12 Shall horses run upon the rock? Will [one] plough [there] with oxen?
        For ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood:
Amo 6:13 ye who rejoice in a thing of naught, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
Amo 6:14 But behold, I shall raise up against you a nation, House of Israel, said the LORD the God of Sabaoth;
        and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the wilderness.

Amo 7:1 {First vision}.
        Thus has the Lord JeHoVaH shown to me; and behold,
        He formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth;
        and behold, [it was] the latter growth after the king's mowings.
Amo 7:2 And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land,
        then I said, Lord JeHoVaH, forgive, I beseech Thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? For he [is] small.
Amo 7:3 The LORD relented for this: It shall not be, said the LORD.
Amo 7:4 {Second vision}.
        Thus has the Lord JeHoVaH shown to me: and behold,
        the Lord JeHoVaH called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great Abyss, and did eat up a part.
Amo 7:5 Then I said, Lord JeHoVaH, cease, I beseech Thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? For he [is] small.
Amo 7:6 The LORD relented for this: This also shall not be, says the Lord JeHoVaH.

Amo 7:7 {Third vision}.
        And He showed me: and behold,
        the Lord stood upon a wall [made] by a plumb-line,
        with a plumb-line in His hand.
Amo 7:8 And the LORD said to me,
        Amos, what see Thou? And I said, A plumb-line.
        Then said the Lord, Behold, I shall set a plumb-line in the middle of My people Israel:
        I shall not again pass by them any more:
Amo 7:9 and the high places of Isaac shall be desolate,
        and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste;
        and I shall rise against the House of Jeroboam with the sword.
Amo 7:10
        Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-El sent to Jeroboam king of Israel,
        saying, Amos has conspired against Thee in the middle of the House of Israel:
        the land is not able to bear all his words.
Amo 7:11 For thus says Amos,
        Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
        and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
Amo 7:12 And Amaziah said to Amos,
        Thou seer, go flee Thee away into the land of Judah,
        and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
Amo 7:13 but prophesy not again any more at Beth-El:
        for it [is] the king's Sanctuary, and it [is] the king's court.
Amo 7:14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah,
        I [was] no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son;
        but I [was] a herdsman, and a gatherer of sycamore-trees.
Amo 7:15
        And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me,
        Go, prophesy to My people Israel.
Amo 7:16 And now hear Thou the word of the LORD: Thou say,
        Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not Thy [word] against the house of Isaac.
Amo 7:17 Therefore thus says the LORD; Thy wife shall be a whore in the city,
        and Thy sons and Thy daughters shall fall by the sword,
        and Thy land shall be divided by line; and Thou shall die in a polluted land:
        and Israel shall surely go from his land into captivity.

Amo 8:1 {Fourth vision}.
        Thus has the Lord JeHoVaH shown to me:
        and behold a basket of summer fruit.
Amo 8:2 And He said, Amos, what see Thou?
        And I said, A basket of summer fruit.
        And the LORD said to me,
        The end is come upon My people of Israel; I shall not again pass by them any more.
Amo 8:3 And the songs of the Temple shall be howlings in that day, says the Lord JeHoVaH:
        [there shall be] many carcasses in every place; they shall cast [them] forth with silence.
Amo 8:4
        Hear this, ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Amo 8:5 saying, When shall the New Moon be gone, that we may sell grain?
        And the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat,
        making the ephah small, and the shekel great,
        and falsifying the balances by deceit?
Amo 8:6 That we may buy the poor for silver,
        and the needy for a pair of shoes;
        and even sell the refuse of the wheat?
Amo 8:7 The LORD has sworn by the excellence of Jacob,
        Surely, I shall never forget any of their works.
Amo 8:8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourns that dwells in it?
        And it shall rise up wholly as a flood: and it shall be cast out and drowned, as [by] the flood of Egypt.
Amo 8:9
        And it shall be in that day, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        that I shall cause the sun to go down at noon, and I shall darken the Earth in a bright day:
Amo 8:10 and I shall turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation;
        and I shall bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head;
        and I shall make it as the mourning of an only [son], and the end of it as a bitter day.
Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, says the Lord JeHoVaH,
        that I shall send a famine in the land,
        not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
        but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Amo 8:12 and they shall wander from sea to sea,
        and from the north even to the east,
        they shall run back and forth:
        to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].
Amo 8:13 In that day shall the beautiful virgins and young men faint for thirst.
Amo 8:14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say,
        Thy god, Dan lives; and the manner of Beer-Sheba lives;
        even they shall fall, and never rise again.

Amo 9:1 {Fifth vision}.
        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 shall slay the last of them with the sword:
        he who flees of them shall not flee away,
        and he who escapes of them shall not be delivered.
Amo 9:2 Though they dig into Sheol,
        thence shall My hand take them; though they climb up to Heaven,
        thence shall I bring them down.
Amo 9:3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel,
        I shall search and take them out thence.
        And though they are hid from My sight in the bottom of the sea,
        thence shall I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.
Amo 9:4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies,
        thence shall I command the sword, and it shall slay them:
        and I shall set My eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Amo 9:5
        And the Lord JeHoVaH of Sabaoth [is] He who touches the land,
        and it shall melt, and all that dwell in it shall mourn:
        and it shall rise up wholly like a flood;
        and shall be drowned, as [by] the flood of Egypt.
Amo 9:6 [It is] He who builds His stories in the Heaven,
        and has founded His troop in the Earth;
        He who calls for the waters of the sea,
        and pours them out upon the face of the Earth:
        JeHoVaH [is] His name.

Amo 9:7 [Are] ye not as sons of the Cushites to Me, sons of Israel?
        Said the LORD.
        Have not I brought up Israel from the land of Egypt?
        And the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Assyrians from Kir?
Amo 9:8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord JeHoVaH [are] upon the sinful kingdom,
        and I shall destroy it from off the face of the Earth;
        saving that I shall not utterly destroy the House of Jacob.
        Said the LORD.
Amo 9:9 For behold, I shall command, and I shall sift the House of Israel among all nations,
        like as [grain] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the Earth.
Amo 9:10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword,
        who say, It shall not overtake nor fall upon us, (the evil).
Amo 9:11
        In that day I shall return, and shall build again the Tabernacle of David which is fallen down;
        and I shall build again the ruins of it; and I shall set it up, [Act 15:16]
        and I shall build it as in the days of old:
Amo 9:12 that the rest of men may seek after the LORD, and all the gentiles,
        upon whom My name is called, says the LORD, who doing all these [things]. [Act 15:17]
Amo 9:13 Behold, the days come, said the LORD,
        that the ploughman shall overtake the reaper,
        and the treader of grapes him that sows seed;
        and the mountains shall drop sweet wine,
        and all the hills shall melt.
Amo 9:14 And I shall bring back the captivity of My people of Israel,
        and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit [them];
        and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them;
        they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Amo 9:15 And I shall plant them upon their land,
        and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land,
        which I have given them, said the LORD Thy God.

Oba 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Obadiah)].
        The vision of Obadiah.
        Thus says the Lord JeHoVaH concerning Edom;
        We have heard a report from the LORD,
        and an ambassador is sent among the heathen,
        Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
Oba 1:2
        Behold, I have made Thee small among the heathen:
        Thou are greatly despised.
Oba 1:3 The pride of Thy heart has deceived Thee,
        Thou that dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation [is] high;
        that said in his heart,
        Who shall bring me down to the ground?
Oba 1:4 Though Thou shall exalt [thyself] as the eagle.
        Though Thou shall set Thy nest among the stars,
        thence shall I bring Thee down, said the LORD.
Oba 1:5 If thieves came to Thee, if robbers by night, (how are Thou cut off)!
        Would they not have stolen until they had enough?
        If the grape-gatherers came to Thee, would they not leave [some] grapes?
Oba 1:6 How are [the things] of Esau searched out!
        [How] are his hidden things sought!
Oba 1:7 All the men of Thy confederacy have brought Thee 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] no understanding in him.

Oba 1:8 Shall I not in that day, said the LORD,
        even destroy the wise [men] out of Edom,
        and understanding out of the Mount of Esau?
Oba 1:9 And Thy mighty [men], Teman, shall be dismayed,
        to the end that every one of the Mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
Oba 1:10 For [Thy] violence against Thy brother Jacob,
        shame shall cover Thee, and Thou shall be cut off forever.
Oba 1:11
        In the day that Thou stood on the other side,
        in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces,
        and foreigners entered into his gates,
        and cast lots upon Jerusalem,
        even Thou [were] as one of them.
Oba 1:12
         But Thou should not have looked on the day of Thy brother in the day that he became a stranger;
         neither should Thou have rejoiced over the sons of Judah in the day of their destruction;
         neither should Thou have magnify Thy mouth in the day of distress;
Oba 1:13 neither should Thou have entered into the gate of My people in the day of their calamity;
         neither should Thou have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity,
         neither should Thou have sent out against his force in the day of their calamity;
Oba 1:14 neither should Thou have stood in the cross-way, to cut off those of his that escaped;
         neither should Thou have delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress.

Oba 1:15 For the Day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen:
        as Thou have done, it shall be done to Thee:
        Thy reward shall return upon Thy own head.
Oba 1:16 For as ye have drank upon My Holy Mount,
        [so] shall all the heathen drink continually,
        they shall drink, and they shall swallow down,
        and they shall be as though they had not been.
Oba 1:17 But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance,
        and there shall be Holiness;
        and the House of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Oba 1:18 And the House of Jacob shall be a fire,
        and the House of Joseph a flame,
        and the House of Esau for stubble,
        they shall kindle in them, and devour them;
        there shall not be [any] remaining of the House of Esau;
        for the LORD has spoken.
Oba 1:19
        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.
Oba 1:20 And the captivity of this force of the sons of Israel;
        [shall possess] that of the Canaanites,
        to Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem,
        which [is] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
Oba 1:21 And saviours shall come upon Mount Zion,
        to judge the Mount of Esau;
        and the Kingdom shall be the LORD's.

Jon 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Jonah)].
        Then came the word of the LORD to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Jon 1:2 Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before Me.
Jon 1:3 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD,
        and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish:
        so he paid the fare of it, and went down into it,
        to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Jon 1:4
        But the LORD cast a great wind into the sea, and there was a great tempest in the sea,
        so that the ship was in danger to be broken.
Jon 1:5 Then the mariners feared and cried: every man to his god,
        and cast the wares that [were] in the ship into the sea,
        to lighten [it] of them. But Jonah had when down into the sides of the ship;
        and he lay, and was fast asleep.
Jon 1:6 So the ship-master came to him, and said to him, What mean Thou, sleeper?
        Arise, call upon Thy God, it may be that GOD shall think upon us, that we perish not.
Jon 1:7 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.
Jon 1:8 Then said they to him, Tell us, we pray Thee, for whose cause this evil [is] upon us;
        What [is] Thy occupation? And whence come Thou?
        What [is] Thy country? And of what people [are] Thou?
Jon 1:9 And he said to them, I [am] a Hebrew;
        and I fear the LORD, the God of Heaven,
        who has made the sea and the dry [land].
Jon 1:10 Then were the men feared with great fearing,
        and said to him, Why have Thou done this?
        For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD,
        because he had told them.
Jon 1:11 Then said they to him, What shall we do to Thee, that the sea may be calm to us?
        For the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
Jon 1:12 And he said to them, Take me, and cast me into the sea;
        so shall the sea be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest [is] upon you.
Jon 1:13 And the men rowed hard to bring [it] to the dry [land];
        but they could not: for the sea:
        [it] wrought and was tempestuous against them.
Jon 1:14 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, We beseech Thee, LORD, we beseech Thee,
        let us not perish for this man's soul, and lay not upon us innocent blood:
        for Thou, LORD, have done as it pleased Thee.
Jon 1:15 So they took Jonah, and cast him into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
Jon 1:16 Then the men feared with great fearing the LORD,
        and offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows.

Jon 1:17 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. [Mat 12:40]
Jon 2:1 {Prayer of Jonah}.
        Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Jon 2:2 and said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD,
        and He replied me;
        out of the belly of Sheol cried I,
        [and] Thou heard my voice.
Jon 2:3 For Thou had cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas;
        and the floods surrounded me:
        all Thy billows and Thy waves passed over me.
Jon 2:4
        Then I said, I [am] cast out of Thy sight;
        yet I shall look again towards Thy Holy Temple.
Jon 2:5 The waters surrounded me, to the soul:
        the Abyss enclosed me on every side,
        the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Jon 2:6
        I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;
        the Earth with her bars [was] about me forever:
        yet have Thou brought up my life from corruption, LORD my God.
Jon 2:7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD:
        and my prayer came to Thee, into Thy Holy Temple.
Jon 2:8
        They that observe lying vanities,
        forsake their own mercy.
Jon 2:9 But I shall sacrifice to Thee with the voice of thanksgiving;
        I shall pay [that] which I have vowed.
        Salvation [is] of the LORD.

Jon 2:10 And the LORD spoke to the fish,
         and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
Jon 3:1 Then came the word of the LORD to Jonah the second time, saying,
Jon 3:2 Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city,
        and preach to it the preaching that I bid Thee.
Jon 3:3 And Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh,
        according to the word of the LORD.
        And Nineveh was a great city to GOD{mightily} of three days' journey.
Jon 3:4 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.
Jon 3:5 And the men of Nineveh believed GOD,
        and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth,
        from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Jon 3:6 For word came to the king of Nineveh,
        and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him,
        and covered [himself] with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Jon 3:7 And he caused [it] to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his great [men], saying,
        Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water:
Jon 3:8 but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to GOD:
        yes, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands.
Jon 3:9 Who can tell [if] GOD shall turn and regret,
        and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?
Jon 3:10 And GOD saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and GOD regretted of the evil,
        that He had said that He would do to them; and He did [it] not.

Jon 4:1 But evil came upon Jonah, a great evil,
        and he was very angry.
Jon 4:2 And he prayed to the LORD, and said, I pray Thee,
        LORD [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?
        Therefore I fled before to Tarshish:
        for I knew that Thou [are] a gracious God, and merciful,
        slow to anger, and of great kindness, and regret of the evil.
Jon 4:3 Therefore now, LORD, take, I beseech Thee, my soul from me;
        for [it is] better for me to die than to live.
Jon 4:4 Then said the LORD, do Thou well to be angry?
Jon 4:5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat upon the east side of the city,
        and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shade,
        until he might see what would become of the city.
Jon 4:6 And the LORD GOD prepared a gourd, and made [it] to come up over Jonah,
        that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his grief.
        So Jonah was of the gourd in great joy.
Jon 4:7 But GOD prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day,
        and it smote the gourd that it withered.
Jon 4:8
        And it came to pass, when the sun rose that GOD prepared a vehement east wind;
        and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah,
        that he fainted, and wished in his soul to die,
        and said, [It is] better for me to die than to live.
Jon 4:9 And GOD said to Jonah, do Thou well to be angry for the gourd?
        And he said, I do well to be angry, to death.
Jon 4:10 Then said the LORD, Thou have had pity on the gourd,
        for which Thou have not laboured, neither made it grow;
        which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
Jon 4:11 and should not I spare Nineveh, the great city,
        in which are more than twelve myriad{120000} of persons,
        that cannot discern between their right [hand] and their left [hand], and [also] many cattle?

Mic 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Micah)].
        The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite,
        in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hizkiah, kings of Judah,
        which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Mic 1:2 Hear, all [ye] peoples; listen, Earth, and all that in it is:
        and let the Lord JeHoVaH be witness against you, the Lord from His Holy Temple.
Mic 1:3 For behold, the LORD comes forth from His place, and shall come down,
        and tread upon the high places of the Earth.
Mic 1:4 And the mountains shall be melted under Him,
        and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire,
        [and] as the waters [that are] poured down a steep place.
Mic 1:5 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?
Mic 1:6 Therefore I shall make Samaria as a heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard:
        and I shall pour down her stones into the valley, and I shall lay bare her foundations.
Mic 1:7 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces,
        and all her hires shall be burned with the fire,
        and all her idols shall I lay desolate:
        for she gathered [it] from the hire of a whore,
        and they shall return to the hire of a whore.
Mic 1:8 Therefore I shall wail and howl, I shall go stripped and naked:
        I shall make a wailing like the monsters, and mourning as the ostriches.
Mic 1:9 For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come to Judah;
        he has come to the gate of My people, to Jerusalem.
Mic 1:10 Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in Beth-Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Mic 1:11
        Pass ye away, Thou inhabitress of Saphir, having Thy shame exposed:
        the inhabitress of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive from you his standing.
Mic 1:12 For the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for good: but evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
Mic 1:13 Thou inhabitress of Lachish, bind the chariot to the mule: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the Daughter of Zion:
        for the transgressions of Israel were found in Thee.
Mic 1:14 Therefore shall Thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel.
Mic 1:15 Yet shall I bring an heir to Thee, inhabitress of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel.
Mic 1:16 Make Thee bald, and poll Thee for Thy delicate sons; enlarge Thy baldness as the eagle;
        for they are gone into captivity from Thee.

Mic 2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds!
        When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Mic 2:2 And they covet fields, and take [them] by violence; and houses,
        and take [them] away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Mic 2:3 Therefore thus says 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.
Mic 2:4 In that day shall [one] take up a parable against you, and lament with a grievous lamentation,
        [and] say, We are utterly wasted: He has changed the portion of My people:
        how has He removed [it] from me! Turning away He has divided our fields.
Mic 2:5 Therefore Thou shall have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the Congregation of the LORD.
Mic 2:6 Do not drop [words] as they drop! They shall not drop [words] to them, [that] they shall not take shame.
Mic 2:7 Thou [that are] named the House of Jacob, is the Spirit of the LORD straitened?
        Are these his doings? Do not My words do good to him that walks uprightly?
Mic 2:8 But yesterday My people has risen up as an enemy:
        ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse to war.
Mic 2:9 The women of My people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses;
        from their children have ye taken away My glory forever.
Mic 2:10 Arise ye, and depart; for this [is] not [your] rest:
        because it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a grievous destruction.
Mic 2:11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood does lie,
        [saying], I shall drop [words] to Thee of wine and of shekar{strong drink}; he shall even be the dropper of this people.
Mic 2:12 I shall surely assemble, Jacob, all of Thee; I shall surely gather the remnant of Israel;
        I shall put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the middle of their fold:
        they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
Mic 2:13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate,
        and have gone out by it; and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.

Mic 3:1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob,
        and ye princes of the House of Israel:
        [Is it] not for you to know judgment?
Mic 3:2 Who hate the good, and love the evil;
        who pluck off their skin from them,
        and their flesh from off their bones.
Mic 3:3 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 cauldron.
Mic 3:4 Then shall they cry to the LORD, but He shall not reply them:
        He shall even hide His face from them at that time,
        as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
Mic 3:5 Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets that make My people astray,
        that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace;
        and he who puts not into their mouths, they even prepare against him war:
Mic 3:6 therefore night [shall be] to you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark to you,
        that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
Mic 3:7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded:
        yes, they shall all cover their lips; for [there is] no answer of GOD.
Mic 3:8 But truly I [am] full of power by the Spirit of the LORD, and of judgment,
        and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Mic 3:9 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.
Mic 3:10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Mic 3:11 Her heads judge for reward, and her priests teach for hire,
        and her prophets divine for money;
        yet shall they lean upon the LORD,
        and say, [Is] not the LORD among us?
        No evil can come upon us.
Mic 3:12 Therefore shall Zion for your sakes be ploughed [as] a field,
        and Jerusalem shall become heaps,
        and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.

Mic 4:1 And it shall be in the Last Days,
        [that] the Mount of the House of the LORD,
        shall be established on the top of the mountains,
        and it shall be exalted above the hills;
        and people shall flow to it. [Isa 2:2]
Mic 4:2 And many nations shall come and say,
        Come ye, and let us go up to the Mount of the LORD,
        and to the House of the God of Jacob;
        and He shall teach us of His ways,
        and we shall walk in His paths:
        for out of Zion shall go forth the Law,
        and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. [Isa 2:3]
Mic 4:3 And He shall judge among many people,
        and rebuke strong nations afar off;
        and they shall beat their swords into plough-shares,
        and their spears into pruning-hooks:
        nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,
        neither shall they learn war any more. [Isa 2:4]
Mic 4:4
        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 Sabaoth has spoken.
Mic 4:5 For all the peoples shall walk every one in the name of his god,
        and we shall walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
Mic 4:6 In that day, said the LORD,
        I shall assemble her that halts, and I shall gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
Mic 4:7 and I shall make her that was lame a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation:
        and the LORD shall reign over them in Mount Zion from now on even forever.

Mic 4:8 And Thou, Tower of the flock, the strong hold of the Daughter of Zion,
        to Thee shall it come, even the first dominion;
        the Kingdom shall come, to the Daughter of Jerusalem.
Mic 4:9 Now why do Thou cry aloud? [Is there] no king in Thee?
        Has Thy counsellor perished?
        For pangs have taken Thee as a woman in travail.
Mic 4:10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, Daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail:
        for now shall Thou go forth from the city, and Thou shall dwell in the field,
        and Thou shall go to Babylon; there shall Thou be delivered;
        there the LORD shall redeem Thee from the hand of Thy enemies.
Mic 4:11 Now also many nations are gathered against Thee,
        that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
Mic 4:12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD,
        neither understand they His counsel:
        for He shall gather them as sheaves into the threshing-floor.
Mic 4:13 Arise and thresh, Daughter of Zion:
        for I shall make Thy horn iron,
        and I shall make Thy hoofs bronze:
        and Thou shall beat in pieces many people:
        and I shall consecrate their gain to JeHoVaH,
        and their substance to the Lord of all the Earth.
Mic 5:1 Now gather thyself in troops, daughter of troops: he has laid siege against us:
        they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Mic 5:2
        And Thou Beth-lehem (Ephratah) [in] the land of Judah,
        are not the least among the thousand of Judah;
        for out of Thee shall come a leading [Man] that shall shepherd My people of Israel; [Mat 2:6]
        whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting days.
Mic 5:3 Therefore shall He give them up, until the time [that] she who travails has brought forth:
        then the remnant of his brethren shall return to the sons of Israel.
Mic 5:4 And He shall stand and shepherd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God;
        and they shall abide: for now shall He be great to the ends of the Earth.
Mic 5:5 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.
Mic 5:6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword,
        and the land of Nimrod in its entrances: thus shall He deliver [us] from the Assyrian,
        when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our borders.

Mic 5:7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the middle of many people as a dew from the LORD,
        as the showers upon the grass, that tarries not for man, nor waits for the sons of men.
Mic 5:8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the gentiles in the middle of many people;
        as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep:
        who, if he goes through, both treads down, and tears in pieces, and none can deliver.
Mic 5:9 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon Thy adversaries, and all Thy enemies shall be cut off.
Mic 5:10 And it shall be in that day, said the LORD,
        that I shall cut off Thy horses out of the middle of Thee, and I shall destroy Thy chariots:
Mic 5:11 and I shall cut off the cities of Thy land, and throw down all Thy strong holds:
Mic 5:12 and I shall cut off sorceries out of Thy hand; and Thou shall have no [more] observers of clouds:
Mic 5:13 Thy graven images also shall I cut off, and Thy pillars out of the middle of Thee;
        and Thou shall no more worship the work of Thy hands.
Mic 5:14 And I shall pluck up Thy Asherim out of the middle of Thee: so shall I destroy Thy cities.

Mic 5:15 And I shall execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
Mic 6:1 Hear ye now what the LORD said;
        Arise, contend Thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear Thy voice.
Mic 6:2 Hear ye, mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the Earth:
        for the LORD has a controversy with His people, and He shall plead with Israel.
Mic 6:3 My people, what have I done to Thee? And wherein have I wearied Thee? Testify against Me,
Mic 6:4 for I brought Thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed Thee from the house of servants;
        and I sent before Thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Mic 6:5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted,
        and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal;
        that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
Mic 6:6 With what 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?
Mic 6:7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, [or] with myriads of rivers of oil?
        Shall I give my first-born [for] my transgression, the fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
Mic 6:8 He has shown Thee, man, what [is] good; and what the LORD does require of Thee,
        but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Thy God?
Mic 6:9 The LORD's voice cries to the city, and [the man of] wisdom shall see Thy name:
        hear ye the rod, and who has appointed it.
Mic 6:10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
        and the scant ephah{measure} that is abominable?
Mic 6:11 Shall I count [them] pure with the wicked balances,
        and with the bag of deceitful weight-stones?
Mic 6:12 For her rich men are full of violence, and her inhabitants have spoken lies,
        and their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
Mic 6:13 Therefore also shall I make [Thee] sick in smiting Thee,
        in making [Thee] desolate because of Thy sins.
Mic 6:14 Thou shall eat, but not be satisfied;
        and Thy casting down [shall be] in the middle of Thee;
        and Thou shall take hold, but shall not deliver;
        and [that] which Thou deliver I shall give up to the sword.
Mic 6:15 Thou shall sow, but Thou shall not reap;
        Thou shall tread the olives, but Thou shall not anoint Thee with oil;
        and new wine, but shall not drink wine.

Mic 6:16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the House of Ahab,
        and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make Thee a desolation,
        and her inhabitants a hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of My people.

Mic 7:1 Woe is me! For I have been 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.
Mic 7:2 The Saint has perished from the Earth:
        and [there is] none upright among men:
        they all lie in wait for blood;
        they hunt every man his brother with a net.
Mic 7:3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly,
        the prince asks, and the judge [asks] for a reward;
        and the great [man], he utters the evil [desire of his] soul: so they wrap it up.
Mic 7:4 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 comes; now shall be their perplexity.
Mic 7:5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide:
        keep the doors of Thy mouth from her that lies in Thy bosom.
Mic 7:6
        For the son at variance against his father,
        and the daughter against her mother,
        and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; [Mat 10:35]
        and a man's enemies [shall be] they of his own household. [Mat 10:36]
Mic 7:7 Therefore I shall look to the LORD;
        I shall wait for the God of my Salvation:
        my God shall hear me.
Mic 7:8 Rejoice not against me, my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise;
        when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a Light to me.
Mic 7:9 I shall bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him,
        until He shall plead my cause, and execute judgment for me:
        he shall bring me forth to the Light, [and] I shall behold His righteousness.
Mic 7:10 Then [she who is] My enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her who said to me,
        Where is the LORD Thy God?
        My eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
Mic 7:11 [In] the day that Thy walls are to be built, [in] that day shall the decree be far removed.
Mic 7:12 [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.
Mic 7:13 And the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell in it, for the fruit of their doings.
Mic 7:14
        Feed Thy people with Thy rod, the flock of Thy heritage,
        who dwell solitarily [in] the wood, in the middle of Carmel:
        let them feed [in] Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Mic 7:15 According to the days of Thy departure from the land of Egypt shall I show to him marvellous [things].
Mic 7:16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might:
        they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Mic 7:17 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.
Mic 7:18 Who [is] a God like to Thee, that pardons iniquity,
        and passes by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?
        He retains not His anger forever, because He delights [in] mercy.
Mic 7:19 He shall turn back, He shall have compassion upon us; He shall subdue our iniquities;
        and Thou shall cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Mic 7:20 Thou shall perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to Abraham,
        which Thou have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

Nah 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Nahum)].
        The burden of Nineveh.
        The Book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite,
Nah 1:2 God [is] jealous, and the LORD avenges; the LORD avenges,
        and [is] furious; the LORD shall take vengeance on His adversaries,
        and He reserves [wrath] for His enemies.
Nah 1:3 The LORD [is] slow to anger, and great in power,
        and shall not at all acquit [the wicked]:
        the LORD [has] His way in the whirlwind and in the storm,
        and the clouds [are] the dust of His feet.
Nah 1:4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry,
        and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes,
        and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
Nah 1:5 The mountains quake at Him,
        and the hills melt, and the Earth lifted at His presence,
        even the World, and all that dwell in it.
Nah 1:6 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.
Nah 1:7 The LORD [is] good,
        a strong hold in the day of trouble;
        and He knows them that trust in Him.
Nah 1:8 But with an over-running flood.
        And he shall make a full end of its place,
        and darkness shall pursue His enemies.
Nah 1:9 What do ye imagine against the LORD?
        And he shall make a full end:
        affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Nah 1:10 For while [they] are folded together [as] thorns,
        and while they are drunken [as] drunkards,
        they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

Nah 1:11 There is [one] come out of Thee,
        that imagines evil against the LORD,
        a worthless counsellor.
Nah 1:12 Thus says the LORD;
        Though [they are] secure, and with so many,
        yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through.
        Though I have afflicted Thee,
        I shall afflict Thee no more.
Nah 1:13 For now I shall break his yoke from off Thee,
        and shall burst Thy bonds asunder.
Nah 1:14 And the LORD has given a Commandment concerning Thee,
        [that] no more of Thy name be sown:
        out of the house of Thy gods,
        shall I cut off the graven image and the molten image:
        I shall make Thy grave; for Thou are vile.

Nah 1:15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of Him that preach the Gospel of Peace!
        Hear Judah, keep Thy solemn Festivals, perform Thy vows:
        for the worthless shall no more pass through Thee; he is utterly cut off.

Nah 2:1 He who dashes in pieces is come up before Thy face: keep the rampart,
        watch the way, make [Thy] loins strong, fortify [Thy] power mightily.
Nah 2:2 For the LORD has turned away the excellence of Jacob, as the excellence of Israel:
        for the emptiers have emptied them out, and their vine branches are marred.
Nah 2:3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men [are] in scarlet,
        the chariots [shall be] with flaming steel in the day of his preparation,
        and the fir-trees shall be terribly shaken.
Nah 2:4 The chariots shall rage in the streets,
        they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways:
        they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
Nah 2:5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk;
        they shall make haste to its wall, and the defence shall be prepared.
Nah 2:6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
Nah 2:7 And it is decreed: she shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up,
        and her maids shall lead [her] as with the voice of doves, thrums upon their hearts.
Nah 2:8 But Nineveh [is] of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away.
        Halt, Halt, [shall they cry]; but none shall look back.
Nah 2:9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold:
        for [there is] no end of the store [and] glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
Nah 2:10 She is empty, and void, and waste:
        and the heart melts, and the knees smite together,
        and much pain [is] in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
Nah 2:11 Where [is] the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions,
        where the lion, the old lion, walked, [and] the lion's whelp,
        and none made [them] afraid?
Nah 2:12 The lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps,
        and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey,
        and his dens with torn prey.
Nah 2:13 Behold, I [AM] against Thee, says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        and I shall burn her chariots in the smoke,
        and the sword shall devour Thy young lions:
        and I shall cut off Thy prey from the Earth,
        and the voice of Thy messengers shall no more be heard.

Nah 3:1 Woe to the bloody city!
        It [is] all full of lies [and] robberies;
        the prey departs not;
Nah 3:2 the noise of a whip,
        and the noise of the rattling of the wheels,
        and of the prancing horses,
        and of the bounding chariots;
Nah 3:3 the horseman lifts up both the bright sword,
        and the glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain,
        and a great number of carcasses;
        and [there is] no end of [their] bodies; they stumble upon their bodies:
Nah 3:4 because of the multitude of the whoredoms,
        of the well-favoured whore, the mistress of sorceries,
        that sells nations through her whoredoms,
        and families through her sorceries.
Nah 3:5 Behold, I [AM] against Thee, says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        and I shall remove Thy skirts upon Thy face,
        and I shall show the nations Thy nakedness, and the kingdoms Thy shame.
Nah 3:6 And I shall cast abominable filth upon Thee,
        and make Thee vile, and shall set Thee as a gazing-stock.
Nah 3:7 And it shall be, [that] all they that look upon Thee and shall flee from Thee,
        and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who shall bemoan her;
        whence shall I seek comforters for Thee?
Nah 3:8
        Are Thou better than No-Amon,
        that was situated among the rivers,
        [that had] the waters around it, whose rampart [was] the sea,
        [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
Nah 3:9 Cush and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite;
        Put and Lubim were Thy helpers.
Nah 3:10 Yet [was] she carried away, she went into captivity:
        her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets:
        and they cast lots for all her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
Nah 3:11 Thou also shall be drunken:
        Thou shall be hid,
        Thou also shall seek strength because of the enemy.
Nah 3:12 All Thy strong holds [shall be like] fig-trees with the first ripe figs:
        if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
Nah 3:13 Behold, Thy people [are] women in the middle of Thee:
        the gates of Thy land shall be set wide open to Thy enemies: the fire shall devour Thy bars.
Nah 3:14 Draw Thee waters for the siege, fortify Thy strong holds:
        go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.
Nah 3:15 There shall the fire devour Thee; the sword shall cut Thee off,
        it shall eat Thee up like the canker-worm:
        make thyself many as the canker-worm,
        make thyself many as the locusts.
Nah 3:16 Thou have multiplied Thy merchants above the stars of Heaven:
        the canker-worm spoils, and flies away.
Nah 3:17 Thy crowned [are] as the locusts, and Thy captains as the grasshoppers,
        which settle in the hedges in the cold day, [but] when the sun arises they flee away,
        and their place is not known where they [are].
Nah 3:18 Thy shepherds slumber, king of Assyria:
        Thy nobles shall dwell,
        Thy people are scattered upon the mountains,
        and no man gathers [them].
Nah 3:19 [There is] no healing of Thy bruise;
        Thy wound is grievous:
        all that hear the fame of Thee shall clap the hands over Thee:
        for upon whom has not Thy wickedness passed continually?

Hab 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Habakkuk)].
        The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Hab 1:2 LORD, until when shall I cry, and Thou shall not hear!
        I cry out to Thee of violence, and Thou shall not save!
Hab 1:3 Why do Thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance?
        For devastation and violence [are] before me: and there are [that] raise strife and contention.
Hab 1:4 Therefore the Law is slackened, and judgment does never go forth:
        for the wicked does surround the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds.
Hab 1:5
        Behold, ye despisers, and marvel and be perished: for I work a work in your days,
        a work which ye may not believe, though anyone declare it to you. [Act 13:41]
Hab 1:6 For behold, 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 theirs.
Hab 1:7 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.
Hab 1:8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards,
        and are more fierce than the evening wolves:
        and their horsemen shall spread themselves,
        and their horsemen shall come from far;
        they shall fly as the eagle [that] hastens to eat.
Hab 1:9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up [as] the east wind,
        and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
Hab 1:10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes [shall be] a scorn to them:
        they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
Hab 1:11 Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, [imputing] this his power to his god.

Hab 1:12 [Are] Thou not from everlasting, LORD my God, My Holy [One]? We shall not die.
        LORD, Thou have ordained them for judgment; my Rock, Thou have established them for correction.
Hab 1:13 Thou [are] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on iniquity: why look Thou on them that deal treacherously,
        [and] keep silence when the wicked devours [the man that is] more righteous than He?
Hab 1:14
        And make men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things [that have] no ruler over them?
Hab 1:15 They take up all of them with the hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag:
        therefore they rejoice and are glad.
Hab 1:16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their drag;
        because by them their portion [is] fat, and their food plenteous.
Hab 1:17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

Hab 2:1 I shall stand upon my watch, and seat myself upon the tower,
        and shall watch to see what He shall say to me,
        and what I shall answer when I [am] reproved.
Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said,
        Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tablets, that He may run that reads it.
Hab 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time,
        but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it may tarry,
        wait for it; because it shall surely come, it shall not tarry.
Hab 2:4 Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up, is not straight in him:
        but the just shall live by faith. [Rom 1:17]
Hab 2:5
        Yes also, because he transgresses by wine, [he is] a proud man,
        neither keeps at home, who enlarges his [desire of the] soul, as Sheol, and [is] as death,
        and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to him all nations, and collects to him all the peoples.
Hab 2:6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him,
        and say, Woe to him that increases [that which is] not his!
        Until when? And to him that lades himself with thick clay{many pledges}!
Hab 2:7 Shall they not rise suddenly that shall bite{the creditors} Thee,
        and awake that shall disturb Thee, and Thou shall be a prey to them?
Hab 2:8 Because Thou have laid waste many nations, all the remnant of the people shall lay Thee waste;
        because of men's blood, and [for] the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell in it.
Hab 2:9
        Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
Hab 2:10 Thou have consulted shame to Thy house by cutting off many people, and have sinned [against] Thy soul.
Hab 2:11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Hab 2:12
        Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
Hab 2:13 Behold, [is it] not from the LORD of Sabaoth that the peoples shall labour in the very fire, and the nations shall weary themselves for very vanity?
Hab 2:14 For the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Hab 2:15
        Woe to him that gives his neighbour drink, that put Thy bottle to him, and make him also drunken, that Thou may look on their nakedness!
Hab 2:16 Thou are 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 to Thee, and shameful vomiting [shall be] on Thy glory.
Hab 2:17 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 in it.
Hab 2:18 What profits the graven image that its maker has graven it; the molten image,
        and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts in it, to make dumb idols?
Hab 2:19
        Woe to him that said 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 middle of it.
Hab 2:20 But the LORD [is] in His Holy Temple: let all the Earth keep silence before Him.
Hab 3:1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
Hab 3:2
        LORD, I have heard Thy report, [and] was afraid:
        LORD, revive, Thy work in the middle of the years,
        in the middle of the years make known;
        in wrath remember mercy.
Hab 3:3 God came from Teman,
        and the Holy [One] from Mount Paran. (Selah).
        His glory covered the Heavens,
        and the Earth was full of His praise.
Hab 3:4 And [His] brightness was as the Light;
        He had horns [coming] out of His hand;
        and there [was] the hiding of His power.
Hab 3:5 Before Him went the pestilence,
        and burning coals went forth at His feet.
Hab 3:6 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.
Hab 3:7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction:
        [and] the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
Hab 3:8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers?
        [Was] Thy anger against the rivers?
        [Was] Thy wrath against the sea,
        that Thou did ride upon Thy horses,
        [and] Thy Chariots of Salvation?
Hab 3:9 Thy bow was made quite naked,
         [according] to the oaths of the tribes, [even Thy] word. (Selah).
        Thou did cleave the Earth with rivers.
Hab 3:10 The mountains saw Thee, [and] they trembled:
        the overflowing of the water passed by:
        the Abyss uttered his voice,
         [and] lifted up his hands on high.
Hab 3:11 The sun [and] moon stood still in their habitation:
        at the light of Thy arrows they went,
        [and] at the shining of Thy glittering spear.
Hab 3:12 Thou did march through the land in indignation,
        Thou did thresh the heathen in anger.
Hab 3:13 Thou went forth for the Salvation of Thy people,
        for Salvation with Thy Messiah.
        Thou struck the <head> from the house of the wicked,
         to bare the foundation to the neck. (Selah).
Hab 3:14
        Thou did strike through with his staffs the head of his villages:
        they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me:
        their rejoicing [was] as to devour the poor secretly.
Hab 3:15 Thou did walk through the sea with Thy horses,
         [through] the mire of great waters.
Hab 3:16 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 comes up to the people, he shall invade them with his troops.
Hab 3:17 Although the fig-tree shall not blossom,
         neither [shall] fruit [be] in the vines;
         the labour of the olive shall fail,
         and the fields shall yield no food;
         the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
         and [there shall be] no herd in the stalls:
Hab 3:18 yet I shall rejoice in the LORD,
         I shall joy in the God of my Salvation.
Hab 3:19 The LORD, Lord [is] my Strength,
        and He shall make my feet like hinds' [feet],
        and He shall make me to walk upon my high places.
        (To the chief Musician on Neginoth).

Zep 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Zephaniah)].
        The word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi,
        the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah,
        in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Zep 1:2
        I shall utterly consume all [things] from off the land, said the LORD.
Zep 1:3 I shall consume man and beast; I shall consume the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea,
        and the stumbling-blocks with the wicked;
        and I shall cut off man from off the land, said the LORD.
Zep 1:4 I shall also stretch out My hand upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
        and I shall cut off from this place the remnant of Baal,
        [and] the name of the idolatrous with the priests;
Zep 1:5 and them that worship the Army of Heaven upon the roofs;
        and them that worship [and] that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
Zep 1:6 and them that have turned back from the LORD;
        and [those] that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for Him.
Zep 1:7 Be silent at the presence of the Lord JeHoVaH:
        for the Day of the LORD [is] near: for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice,
        He has invited His guests.
Zep 1:8 And it shall be in the Day of the LORD's sacrifice,
        that I shall punish the princes, and the king's sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
Zep 1:9 In the same day also shall I punish all those that leap on the threshold, who fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
Zep 1:10
        And it shall be in that day, said the LORD,
        [that there shall be] the noise of a cry from the Fish Gate,
        and a howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
Zep 1:11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down;
        all they that bear silver are cut off.
Zep 1:12 And it shall be at that time, [that] I shall search Jerusalem with lamps,
        and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart,
        The LORD shall not do good, neither shall He do evil.
Zep 1:13 Therefore their goods shall become a prey, and their houses a desolation:
        they shall also build houses, but not inhabit [them];
        and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine of them.
Zep 1:14
        The great Day of the LORD [is] near, [it is] near, and hastens greatly,
        the voice of the Day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
Zep 1:15 That day [is] a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasting and desolation,
        a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
Zep 1:16 a day of the shofar and alarm against the fortified cities, and against the high towers.
Zep 1:17 And I shall bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like [the] blind,
        because they have sinned against the LORD:
        and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung;
Zep 1:18 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.

Zep 2:1 <Assemble yourselves, yes, assemble>, nation not desired;
Zep 2:2 before the decree brings forth, the day passes as the chaff,
        before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you,
        <before the Day of the LORD's anger> comes upon you.
Zep 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the Earth,
        who have performed His Judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness:
        it may be <ye shall be hid in the Day of the LORD's anger>.
Zep 2:4
        For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation:
        they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
Zep 2:5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coasts, the nation of the Cherethites!
        The word of the LORD [is] against you;
        Canaan, the land of the Philistines,
        I shall even destroy Thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
Zep 2:6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings [and] cottages for shepherds,
        and folds for flocks.
Zep 2:7 And the coasts shall be for the remnant of the House of Judah;
        they shall feed upon them: in the houses of Ashkelon,
        shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them,
        and turn away their captivity.
Zep 2:8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revelings of the sons of Ammon,
        by which they have reproached My people, and magnified [themselves] against their border.
Zep 2:9 Therefore [as] I live, says the LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel,
        Surely, Moab shall be as Sodom, and the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah,
        the breeding of nettles, and salt-pits, and a perpetual desolation:
        the residue of My people shall lay them waste,
        and the remnant of My nation shall possess them.
Zep 2:10 This shall they have for their pride,
        because they have reproached and magnified [themselves],
        against the people of the LORD of Sabaoth.
Zep 2:11 The LORD [shall be] awesome to them: for He shall famish all the gods of the Earth;
        and [men] shall worship Him, every one from His place,
        all the isles of the heathen.
Zep 2:12 Ye Cushites also, ye [shall be] slain by My sword.
Zep 2:13 And He shall stretch out His hand against the north, and destroy Assyria;
        and shall make Nineveh a desolation, [and] dry like a wilderness.
Zep 2:14 And flocks shall lie down in the middle of her, all the animals of the nations:
        both the pelican and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it;
        [their] voice shall sing in the windows;
        desolation [shall be] in the thresholds: for He shall uncover the cedar work.
Zep 2:15 This [is] the rejoicing city that dwelt in security, that said in her heart,
        I [AM], and [there is] none besides Me:
        how is she become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in!
        Every one that passes by her shall hiss, [and] wag his hand.

Zep 3:1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
Zep 3:2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction;
        she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
Zep 3:3 Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges [are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones until the morrow.
Zep 3:4 Her prophets [are] wanton [and] treacherous men:
        her priests have polluted the Sanctuary,
        they have done violence to the Law.
Zep 3:5 The just LORD [is] in the middle of her;
        He shall not do iniquity: every morning does He bring His Judgment to light,
        He fails not; but the unjust knows no shame.
Zep 3:6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate;
        I made their streets waste,
        that none passes by: their cities are destroyed,
        so that there is no man, that there is no inhabitant.
Zep 3:7 I said, Surely, Thou shall fear Me, Thou shall receive instruction; so her dwelling should not be cut off,
        all that I appointed for her: but they rose early, [and] corrupted all their doings.
Zep 3:8
        Therefore wait ye upon Me, said 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 My indignation, all My fierce anger:
        for all the Earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.
Zep 3:9 For then shall I turn to the people a pure language,
        that they may all call on the name of the LORD,
        to serve him with one consent.
Zep 3:10 From beyond the rivers of Cush My suppliants, the daughter of My dispersed, shall bring My offering.
Zep 3:11 In that day shall Thou not be ashamed for all Thy doings, in which Thou have transgressed against Me:
        for then I shall take away out of the middle of Thee them that rejoice in Thy pride,
        and Thou shall no more be haughty because of My Holy Mount.
Zep 3:12 I shall also leave in the middle of Thee an afflicted and poor people,
        and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
Zep 3:13 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.

Zep 3:14 {Song of Zion}.
        Sing, Daughter of Zion; shout, Israel;
        be glad and rejoice with all the heart, Daughter of Jerusalem.
Zep 3:15 The LORD has taken away Thy judgments,
        He has cast out Thy enemy: the King of Israel,
        the LORD, [is] in the middle of Thee:
        Thou shall not see evil any more.
Zep 3:16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem,
        Fear Thou not: [and to] Zion,
        Let not Thy hands be slack.
Zep 3:17 The LORD Thy God in the middle of Thee [is] mighty;
        He shall save,
        He shall rejoice over Thee with joy;
        He shall hold in His love,
        He shall joy over Thee with singing.
Zep 3:18
        I shall gather [them that are] sorrowful for the solemn assembly,
        [who] are of Thee, [to whom] the reproach of it [was] a burden.
Zep 3:19 Behold, at that time I shall undo all that afflict Thee.
        I shall save her that halts, and gather her that was driven out.
        I shall get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame;
Zep 3:20 at that time shall I bring you [again], even in the time that I gather you.
        I shall make you a name and a praise among all peoples of the Earth,
        when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, said the LORD.

Hag 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Haggai)].
        In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month,
        came the word of the LORD by the hand of Haggai the prophet,
        to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,
        and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the High Priest, saying,
Hag 1:2 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, saying,
        This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's House should be built.
Hag 1:3
        Then came the word of the LORD by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Hag 1:4 [Is it] time for you, ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house [lie] waste?
Hag 1:5 And now thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Set your heart to your ways.
Hag 1:6 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 yourselves, but there is none warm;
        and he who earns wages earns wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.
Hag 1:7 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Set your heart to your ways.
Hag 1:8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood,
        and build the house; and I shall take pleasure in it,
        and I shall be glorified, said the LORD.
Hag 1:9 Ye looked for much, and behold, [it came] to little;
        and when ye brought [it] home, I did blow upon it.
        Why? Says the LORD of Sabaoth.
        Because of My house that [is] waste,
        and ye run every man to his own house.
Hag 1:10 Therefore the Heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the Earth is stayed [from] her fruit.
Hag 1:11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains,
        and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil,
        and upon [that] which the ground brings forth, and upon men,
        and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
Hag 1:12
        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.
Hag 1:13 Then spoke Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message to the people,
        saying, I [AM] with you, said the LORD.
Hag 1:14 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 performed work in the House of the LORD of Sabaoth, their God,
Hag 1:15 in the twenty fourth day of the same month, in the second year of Darius the king.

Hag 2:1 In the seventh [month], in the twenty first [day] of the month,
        came the word of the LORD by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Hag 2:2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,
        and to Joshua the son of Josedech the High Priest,
        and to all the residue of the people, saying,
Hag 2:3 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?
Hag 2:4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel, said the LORD;
        and be strong, Joshua, son of Josedech, the High Priest;
        and be strong, all people of the land, said the LORD,
        and work: for I [AM] with you, says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Hag 2:5 [According to] the word that I Covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you: fear ye not.
Hag 2:6 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Yet once, it [is] a little while, and I shall shake the Heaven, and the Earth, and the sea, and the dry [land];
Hag 2:7 and I shall shake all nations, and they shall come to the desire of all nations: and I shall fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Hag 2:8 The silver [is] Mine, and the gold [is] Mine, says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Hag 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, says the LORD of Sabaoth:
        and in this place I shall give peace, says the LORD of Sabaoth.

Hag 2:10 In the twenty fourth [day] of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius,
        came the word of the LORD by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Hag 2:11 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        Ask now the priests [concerning] the Law, saying,
Hag 2:12 If one shall bear Holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt shall touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be Holy?
        And the priests answered and said, No.
Hag 2:13 Then said Haggai,
        If an unclean soul shall touch any of these, shall it be unclean?
        And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Hag 2:14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me, said the LORD;
        and so [is] every work of their hands; and that which they offer there [is] unclean.
Hag 2:15
        And now, I pray you, set your heart from this day and upward,
        from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the Temple of the LORD:
Hag 2:16 since those [days] were, when [one] came to a heap of twenty [measures], there were [but] ten:
        when [one] came to the winepress to draw out fifty [vessels] out of the press, there were [but] twenty.
Hag 2:17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to Me, said the LORD.
Hag 2:18 Set your heart now from this day and upward,
        from the twenty fourth day of the ninth [month], from the day that the foundation of the LORD's Temple was laid. Set your heart.
Hag 2:19 [Is] the seed yet in the barn? And as yet the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, has not brought forth: from this day shall I bless [you].

Hag 2:20 Then came the word of the LORD again to Haggai in the twenty fourth [day] of the month, saying,
Hag 2:21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I shall shake the Heavens and the Earth;
Hag 2:22 and I shall overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I shall destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen: and I shall overthrow the chariots,
        and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
Hag 2:23 In that day, says the LORD of Sabaoth, shall I take Thee, Zerubbabel, My servant, the son of Shealtiel, said the LORD,
        and shall make Thee as a signet; for I have chosen Thee, says the LORD of Sabaoth.

Zec 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Zechariah)].
        In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius,
        came the word of the LORD to Zechariah,
        (the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo the prophet), saying,
Zec 1:2 The LORD has been greatly displeased with your fathers.
Zec 1:3 Therefore say Thou to them, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Turn ye to Me, says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        and I shall turn to you, says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Zec 1:4 Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Turn ye now from your evil ways, and [from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor listen to Me, said the LORD.
Zec 1:5 Your fathers, where [are] they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
Zec 1:6 But My words and My Statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets,
        did they not take hold of your fathers? And they returned and said,
        As the LORD of Sabaoth thought to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so has He dealt with us.

Zec 1:7 {First vision}.
        Upon the twenty fourth day of the eleventh month, which [is] the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius,
        came the word of the LORD to Zechariah,
        (the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo the prophet), saying,
Zec 1:8
        I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, [Rev 6:4]
        and he stood among the myrtle-trees that [were] in the bottom;
        and behind him [were there] red horses, speckled, and white. [Rev 6:4 Rev 6:2]
Zec 1:9 Then I said, my Lord, what [are these]?
        And the Angel that talked with me said to me,
        I shall show Thee what these [are].
Zec 1:10 And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said,
        These [are they] whom the LORD has sent to walk back and forth through the Earth.
Zec 1:11 And they answered the Angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said,
        We have walked back and forth through the Earth, and behold, all the Earth sits still, and is at rest.
Zec 1:12 Then the Angel of the LORD answered and said, LORD of Sabaoth,
        until when shall Thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah,
        against which Thou have had indignation those seventy years.
Zec 1:13 And the LORD answered the Angel that talked with me [with] good words [and] comforting words.
Zec 1:14 So the Angel that communed with me said to me,
        Cry Thou, saying, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        I [AM] jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Zec 1:15 And I [AM] very greatly displeased with the heathen [that are] at ease:
        for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
Zec 1:16 Therefore thus says the LORD;
        I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies: My house shall be built in it, says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
Zec 1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        My cities through goodness shall yet be spread abroad;
        and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

Zec 1:18 {Second vision}.
        Then I lifted up My eyes, and saw,
        and behold four horns.
Zec 1:19 And I said to the Angel that talked with me, What [are] these?
        And He answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Zec 1:20 And the LORD showed me four carpenters.
Zec 1:21 And I said, What come these to do? And He spoke, saying,
        These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah,
        so that no man lifted up his head: but these are come to terrify them,
        to cast down the horns of the gentiles,
        which lifted [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

Zec 2:1 {Third vision}.
        I lifted up My eyes, and looked,
        and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Zec 2:2 Then I said,
        Where go Thou?
        And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] its breadth, and what [is] its length.
Zec 2:3 And behold, the Angel that talked with me went forth, and another Angel went out to meet him,
Zec 2:4 and said to him,
        Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in it.
Zec 2:5 For I, said the LORD, shall be to her a wall of fire on every side, and shall be the glory in the middle of her.
Zec 2:6 Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the north, said the LORD:
        for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the Heaven, said the LORD.
Zec 2:7
        Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwell [with] the Daughter of Babylon.
Zec 2:8 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        After the glory has He sent Me to the nations which wasted you: for he who touches you, touches the pupil of His eye.
Zec 2:9 For behold, I shall shake My hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of Sabaoth has sent me.
Zec 2:10 Sing, and rejoice, Daughter of Zion: for behold, I come, and I shall dwell in the middle of Thee, said the LORD.
Zec 2:11
        And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be My people: and I shall dwell in the middle of Thee,
        and Thou shall know that the LORD of Sabaoth has sent me to Thee.
Zec 2:12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the Holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
Zec 2:13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD: for He is raised up out of His Holy habitation.

Zec 3:1 {Fourth vision}.
        And He showed me Joshua the High Priest standing before the Angel of the LORD,
        and Satan standing at His right hand to resist Him.
Zec 3:2 And the LORD said to Satan,
        The LORD rebuke Thee, Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke Thee:
        [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Zec 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel.
Zec 3:4 And He answered and spoke to those that stood before Him, saying,
        Take away the filthy garments from him.
        And He said to him,
        Behold, I have caused Thy iniquity to pass from Thee, and I shall clothe Thee with change of clothing.
Zec 3:5
        And I said, Let them set a clean turban upon his head.
        So they set a clean turban upon his head,
        and clothed him with garments.
        And the Angel of the LORD stood by.
Zec 3:6 And the Angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying,
Zec 3:7 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        If Thou shall walk in My ways, and if Thou shall keep My charge,
        then Thou shall also judge My house, and shall also keep My courts,
        and I shall give Thee places to walk among these that stand by.
Zec 3:8 Hear now, Joshua the High Priest,
        Thou and Thy fellows that sit before Thee:
        for they [are] men wondered at: for behold, I shall bring forth My servant the Branch.
Zec 3:9 For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone [shall be] seven eyes;
        behold, I shall engrave the graving of it says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        and I shall remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Zec 3:10 In that day, says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.

Zec 4:1 {Fifth vision}.
        And the Angel that talked with me came back, and waked me,
        as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
Zec 4:2 and said to me, What see Thou?
        And I said, I have looked, and behold a lampstand:
        all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it,
        and its seven lamps, and seven pipes to the seven lamps,
        which [were] upon the top of it.
Zec 4:3 And <two olive-trees> by it,
        one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side].
Zec 4:4 So I answered and spoke to the Angel that talked with me, saying,
        What [are] these, my Lord?
Zec 4:5 Then the Angel that talked with me answered and said to me,
        Know Thou not what these are?
        And I said, No, my Lord.
Zec 4:6 Then He answered and spoke to me, saying,
        This [is] the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel,
        saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Zec 4:7 Who [are] Thou, great mountain?
        Before Zerubbabel Thou [shall become] a plain:
        and he shall bring forth [its] head-stone [with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace, to it.
Zec 4:8 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Zec 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it;
        and Thou shall know that the LORD of Sabaoth has sent me to you.
Zec 4:10 For who has despised the day of small [things]?
        For they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel;
        [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD,
        which run back and forth through all the Earth.
Zec 4:11 Then I answered and said to him,
        What [are] these <two olive-trees> upon the right [side] of the <lampstand> and upon its left [side]? [Rev 11:4]
Zec 4:12 And I answered again, and said to him,
        What [are these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
Zec 4:13 And he answered me and said,
        Know Thou not what these [are]?
        And I said, No, my Lord.
Zec 4:14 Then said he,
        These [are] the <two anointed ones>, that stand by the Lord of all the Earth. [Rev 11:4]

Zec 5:1 {Sixth vision}.
        And I turned, and lifted up My eyes, and I saw, and behold, a flying roll.
Zec 5:2 And He said to me, What see Thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll;
        its length [is] twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.
Zec 5:3 And He said to me,
        This [is] the curse that goes forth over the face of all the Earth:
        for every one that steals shall be cut off [as] on this side according to it;
        and every one that swears shall be cut off [as] on that side according to it.
Zec 5:4 I shall bring it forth, says the LORD of Sabaoth, and it shall enter into the house of the thief,
        and into the house of him that swears falsely by My name:
        and it shall remain in the middle of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones.

Zec 5:5 {Seventh vision}.
        Then the Angel that talked with me went forth, and said to me,
        Lift up now Thy eyes, and see what [is] this that goes forth.
Zec 5:6 And I said, What [is] it?
        And He said, This [is] an ephah that goes forth.
        (And He said), This [is] their resemblance through all the Earth.
Zec 5:7 And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this [is] a woman that sits in the middle of the ephah.
Zec 5:8 And he said, This [is] wickedness. And he cast it into the middle of the ephah;
        and he cast the weight-stone of lead upon its mouth.
Zec 5:9 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked and behold, there came out two women,
        and the wind [was] in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork:
        and they lifted up the ephah between the Earth and the Heaven.
Zec 5:10 And I said to the Angel that talked with me, where do these bear the ephah?
Zec 5:11 And he said to me, To build for it a house in the land of Shinar:
        and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Zec 6:1 {Eighth vision}.
        And I turned, and lifted up My eyes, and I saw, and behold,
        there came four chariots out from between two mountains;
        and the mountains [were] mountains of bronze.
Zec 6:2 With the first chariot [were] red horses; [Rev 6:3]
        and with the second chariot black horses; [Rev 6:5]
Zec 6:3 And with the third chariot white horses; [Rev 6:2]
        and with the fourth chariot grizzled and bay horses.
Zec 6:4 Then I answered and said to the Angel that talked with me,
        What [are] these, my Lord?
Zec 6:5 And the Angel answered and said to me,
        These [are] the four spirits of the Heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the Earth.
Zec 6:6 The black horses which [are] in it go forth into the north country;
        and the white go forth after them;
        and the grizzled go forth towards the south country.
Zec 6:7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the Earth:
        and He said,
        Go hence, walk back and forth through the Earth.
        So they walked back and forth through the Earth.
Zec 6:8 And He cried upon me, and spoke to me,
        saying, Behold, these that go towards the north country have quieted My Spirit in the north country.

Zec 6:9 Then came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
Zec 6:10 Take of [them of] the captivity, of Heldai, of Tobiahu, and of Jedaiah,
        who are come from Babylon, and come Thou the same day,
        and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
Zec 6:11 then take silver and gold, and make crowns,
         and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the High Priest.
Zec 6:12 And speak to him, saying, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, 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;
Zec 6:13 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.
Zec 6:14 And the crowns shall be to Helem{Heldai}, and to Tobiahu, and to Jedaiah,
        and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the Temple of the LORD.
Zec 6:15 And they [that are] far off shall come and build in the Temple of the LORD,
        and ye shall know that the LORD of Sabaoth has sent me to you.
        And [this] shall be, if ye shall diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

Zec 7:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, [that] the word of the LORD came to Zechariah,
        in the fourth [day] of the ninth month, (in Chisleu).
Zec 7:2 When they had sent to Beth-El, Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before the LORD.
Zec 7:3 To speak to the priests who [were] in the House of the LORD of Sabaoth, and to the prophets,
        saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
Zec 7:4
        Then came the word of the LORD of Sabaoth to me, saying,
Zec 7:5 Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,
        When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye at all fast to Me, to Me?
Zec 7:6 And when ye ate, and when ye drank, did ye not eat [for yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?
Zec 7:7 [Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD has cried by the former prophets,
        when Jerusalem was inhabited and quiet, and her cities around her, when [men] inhabited the south and the plain?
Zec 7:8
        Then came the word of the LORD to Zechariah, saying,
Zec 7:9 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth, saying,
        Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
Zec 7:10 and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless,
        nor the stranger, nor the poor;
        and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
Zec 7:11 But they refused to listen, and withdrew the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Zec 7:12 And they made their hearts [as] diamond lest they should hear the Law, and the words which the LORD of Sabaoth has sent in His Spirit by the former prophets:
        therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of Sabaoth.
Zec 7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as He cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, says the LORD of Sabaoth:
Zec 7:14 but I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. And the land was desolate after them,
        that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

Zec 8:1 And the word of the LORD of Sabaoth came to me, saying,
Zec 8:2 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        I have been jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I have been jealous for her with great fury.
Zec 8:3 Thus says the LORD;
        I have returned to Zion, and shall dwell in the middle of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth;
        and the Mount of the LORD of Sabaoth the Holy Mount.
Zec 8:4 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        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.
Zec 8:5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.
Zec 8:6 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        If it is marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in My eyes? Says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Zec 8:7
        Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Behold, I shall save My people from the east country, and from the sun-set{west} country;
Zec 8:8 and I shall bring them, and they shall dwell in the middle of Jerusalem:
        and they shall be My people, and I shall be their GOD, in truth and in righteousness.
Zec 8:9 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets,
        who [were] in the day [when] the foundation of the House of the LORD of Sabaoth was laid, that the Temple might be built.
Zec 8:10
        For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast;
        neither [was there any] peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction:
        for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
Zec 8:11 But now I [shall] not [be] to the residue of this people as in the former days, says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Zec 8:12 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 shall cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things].
Zec 8:13 And it shall be, [that] as ye were a curse among the heathen, House of Judah, and House of Israel;
        so shall I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be strong.
Zec 8:14 For thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked Me to wrath, says the LORD of Sabaoth, and I relented not;
Zec 8:15 so again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the House of Judah: fear ye not.
Zec 8:16 These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man truth with his neighbour; [Eph 4:25]
        execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
Zec 8:17 and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour;
        and love no false oath: for all these [are things] that I hate, said the LORD.

Zec 8:18 And the word of the LORD of Sabaoth came to me, saying,
Zec 8:19 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        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.
Zec 8:20 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth:
        [It shall] yet [come to pass], that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
Zec 8:21 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 Sabaoth: I shall go also.
Zec 8:22 And many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of Sabaoth in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Zec 8:23 Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth:
        In those days [it shall be], that ten men out of all languages of the nations,
        shall take hold, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew,
        saying, We shall go with you: for we have heard [that] GOD [is] with you.

Zec 9:1 The burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] the rest of it:
        when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] towards the LORD.
Zec 9:2 And Hamath also shall border by it; Tyre and Sidon, though it be very wise.
Zec 9:3 And Tyre built herself a strong hold,
        and amassed silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Zec 9:4 Behold, the Lord shall cast her out,
        and He shall smite her power in the sea;
        and she shall be devoured with fire.
Zec 9:5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear;
        Gaza also [shall see it], and be very sorrowful,
        Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed;
        and the king shall perish from Gaza,
        and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Zec 9:6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod,
        and I shall cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Zec 9:7 And I shall take away his blood out of his mouth,
        and his abominations from between his teeth:
        but he who remains, even he, [shall be] for our God,
        and He shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Zec 9:8 And I shall encamp about My house because of the army,
because of him that passes by, and because of him that returns:
        and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with My eyes.
Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter of Zion;
        shout, Daughter of Jerusalem:
        Behold, Thy King comes to Thee,
        He [is] just, and having Salvation; meek, and riding upon an ass,
        and upon a colt the foal of a she-ass. [Mat 21:5]
Zec 9:10 And I shall cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem,
        and the battle-bow shall be cut off: and He shall speak peace to the heathen:
        and His dominion [shall be] from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the Earth.
Zec 9:11 As for Thee also, by the blood of Thy Covenant I have sent forth Thy prisoners out of the pit in which [is] no water.
Zec 9:12 Turn ye to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope:
        even today do I declare [that] I shall render double to Thee;
Zec 9:13 when I have bent Judah for Me, filled the bow with Ephraim,
        and raised up Thy sons, Zion, against Thy sons,
        Javan{Greece}, and made Thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Zec 9:14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning:
        and the Lord JeHoVaH shall blow the shofar, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
Zec 9:15 The LORD of Sabaoth shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling-stones;
        and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine;
        and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the Altar.
Zec 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people:
        for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon His land.
Zec 9:17 For how great [is] His goodness, and how great [is] His beauty!
        Grain shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

Zec 10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the Latter Rain; [so] the LORD shall make lightning,
        and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
Zec 10:2 For the teraphim have spoken vanity,
        and the diviners have seen a lie,
        and have told false dreams;
        they comfort in vain:
        therefore they went their way as a flock,
        they were troubled because [there was] no shepherd.
Zec 10:3 My anger was kindled against the shepherds,
        and I punished the goats: for the LORD of Sabaoth has visited His flock the House of Judah,
        and has made them as His majestic horse in the battle.
Zec 10:4 Out of Him came forth the corner, out of Him the nail, out of Him the battle-bow, out of Him every oppressor together.
Zec 10:5 And they shall be as mighty [men], who tread down [their enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight,
        because the LORD [is] with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
Zec 10:6 And I shall strengthen the House of Judah, and I shall save the House of Joseph,
        and I shall bring them back to place them; for I have mercy upon them:
        and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I [AM] the LORD their God, and I shall reply them.
Zec 10:7 And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty [man], and their heart shall rejoice as through wine:
        yes, their sons shall see [it], and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
Zec 10:8 I shall hiss for them, and gather them: for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
Zec 10:9 And I shall sow them among the people: and they shall remember Me in remote countries;
        and they shall live with their sons, and turn back.
Zec 10:10 I shall bring them back also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria;
        and I shall bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them.
Zec 10:11 And He shall pass through the sea of 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.
Zec 10:12 And I shall strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in His name, said the LORD.
Zec 11:1
        Open Thy doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour Thy cedars.
Zec 11:2 Howl, fir tree, for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are laid waste: howl, ye oaks of Bashan;
        for the forest of the vintage is come down.
Zec 11:3 [There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is destroyed:
        a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of the Jordan is laid waste.

Zec 11:4 Thus says the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
Zec 11:5 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!
Zec 11:6 For I shall no more pity the inhabitants of the land, said the LORD: but behold, I shall deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand,
        and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I shall not deliver [them].
Zec 11:7 And I shall feed the flock of slaughter, you, poor of the flock. And I took to me two staffs;
        the one I called No'am{Beauty}, and the other I called Chabal{Bands}; and I fed the flock.
Zec 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred Me.
Zec 11:9 Then I said, I shall not feed you: that which dies, let it die;
        and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off;
        and let the rest eat, every one the flesh of another.
Zec 11:10 And I took My staff: Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break My Covenant which I had made with all the people.
Zec 11:11 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.
Zec 11:12 And I said to them, If ye think good, give My price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for My price thirty silver [pieces]. [Mat 26:15]
Zec 11:13 And the LORD said to me,
        Cast it to the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty silver [pieces],
        and cast them to the potter in the House of the LORD.
Zec 11:14 Then I cut asunder My other staff: Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Zec 11:15 And the LORD said to me,
        Take to Thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
Zec 11:16 For behold, I shall raise up a shepherd in the land, [who] shall not visit those that are cut off,
        neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that which is broken,
        nor feed that which stands still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
Zec 11:17 Woe to the idle shepherd that leaves the flock!
        The sword [shall be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye:
        his arm shall be wholly dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, said the LORD,
        who stretches forth the Heavens, and lays the foundation of the Earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.
Zec 12:2 Behold, I shall make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the people around,
         when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
Zec 12:3 And in that day shall I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples:
         all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,
        though all the nations of the Earth be assembled against it.
Zec 12:4 In that day, said the LORD,
         I shall smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness:
        and I shall open My eyes upon the House of Judah,
        and shall smite every horse of the people with blindness.
Zec 12:5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] My strength in the LORD of Sabaoth their God.
Zec 12:6 In that day shall 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 around, on the right hand and on the left:
        and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, in Jerusalem.
Zec 12:7 And the LORD shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the House of David,
        and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not magnify [themselves] against Judah.
Zec 12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
        and he who 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.
Zec 12:9 And it shall be in that day, [that] I shall seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Zec 12:10
        And I shall pour upon the House of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
        the Spirit of grace and of supplications:
        and they shall look to whom they pierced, [Joh 19:37]
        and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for [His] only-begotten,
        and shall be in bitterness for Him,
        as one that is in bitterness for [His] first-born.
Zec 12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem,
        as the mourning of Hadad-Rimmon in the valley of Megiddon{Megiddo}.
Zec 12:12 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;
Zec 12:13 the family of the House of Levi apart, and their wives apart;
        the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
Zec 12:14 all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
Zec 13:1
        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.
Zec 13:2 And it shall be in that day, says the LORD of Sabaoth, [that] I shall cut off the names of the idols out of the land,
        and they shall no more be remembered: and also I shall cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Zec 13:3 And it shall be, [that] when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begot him shall say to him,
        Thou shall not live; for Thou speak lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begot him shall thrust him through when he prophesies.
Zec 13:4 And it shall be in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision,
        when he has prophesied; neither shall they wear a hairy garment to deceive:
Zec 13:5 but he shall say, I [am] no prophet, I [am] a tiller of the ground; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
Zec 13:6 And [one] shall say to him, What [are] these wounds in Thy hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my lovers.

Zec 13:7 Awake, sword, against My Shepherd, and against the man [that is] My fellow, says the LORD of Sabaoth:
        I shall smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. [Mat 26:31]
        I shall turn My hand upon the little ones.
Zec 13:8 And it shall be, [that] in all the land, said the LORD,
        two parts in it shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left in it.
Zec 13:9 And I shall bring the third [part] through the fire, and shall refine them as silver is refined,
        and shall try them as gold is tried: they shall call on My name, and I shall reply them:
        I shall say, It [is] My people;
        and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God.
Zec 14:1 Behold, the Day of the LORD comes, and Thy spoil shall be divided in the middle of Thee.
Zec 14:2 For I shall gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;
        and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women raped;
        and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
        and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth,
        and fight against those nations,
        as when He fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 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 middle, towards the east and towards the west,
        [and there shall be] a very great valley;
        and half of the mountain shall remove towards the north,
        and half of it towards the south.
Zec 14:5 And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal:
        yes, ye shall flee as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:
        and <the LORD my God shall come, [and] all the Saints with Thee>.
Zec 14:6 And it shall be in that day, [that] the light shall not be clear, [nor] dark:
Zec 14:7 but it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night:
        but it shall be, [that] at evening it shall be Light.
Zec 14:8 And it shall be in that day, [that] Living Water shall go out from Jerusalem;
        half of them towards the former sea, and half of them towards the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be King above all the Earth: in that day shall there be One LORD, and His name One.

Zec 14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place,
        from Benjamin Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and [from] the Tower of Hananeel to the king's winepresses.
Zec 14:11 And they shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
Zec 14:12
        And this shall be the plague with which the LORD shall smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem;
        their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet,
        and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,
        and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Zec 14:13 And it shall be in that day, [that] a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them;
        and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour,
        and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Zec 14:14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen around shall be collected, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Zec 14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these camps, as this plague.
Zec 14:16
        And it shall be, [that] every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem,
        shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of Sabaoth, and to keep the Festival of Tabernacles.
Zec 14:17 And it shall be, [that] whoever shall not come up of [all] the families of the Earth to Jerusalem,
        to worship the King, the LORD of Sabaoth, even upon them shall be no rain.
Zec 14:18 And if the family of Egypt shall not go up, and shall not come, that [have] no [rain]; there shall be the plague,
        with which the LORD shall smite the heathen that come not up to keep the Festival of Tabernacles.
Zec 14:19 This shall be a punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the Festival of Tabernacles.
Zec 14:20 In that day there shall be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness to the LORD;
        and the pots in the LORD's House shall be like the bowls before the Altar.
Zec 14:21 And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be Holiness to the LORD of Sabaoth:
        and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them:
        and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the House of the LORD of Sabaoth.

Mal 1:1 [Scroll 11 The 12 Prophets (Malachi)].
        The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by the hand of Malachi.
Mal 1:2 I have loved you, said the LORD.
        Yet ye say, In what have Thou loved us?
        [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother?
        Said the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
Mal 1:3 and I hated Esau, and laid his mountains,
        and his heritage waste for the monsters of the wilderness.
Mal 1:4 Whereas Edom said, We are impoverished,
        but we shall return and build the desolate places;
        thus says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        They shall build, but I shall throw down;
        and they shall call them, The border of wickedness,
        and the people against whom the LORD has indignation forever.
Mal 1:5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say,
        The LORD shall be magnified from the border of Israel.
Mal 1:6
        A son honours [his] father, and a servant his master:
        if then I [AM] a father, where [is] My honour?
        And if I [AM] a master, where [is] My fear?
        Says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        to you, priests, that despise My name.
        And ye say, In what have we despised Thy name?
Mal 1:7 Ye offer polluted bread upon My Altar?
        And ye say, In what have we polluted Thee?
        In that ye say, The table of the LORD [is] contemptible.
Mal 1:8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, [is it] not evil?
        And if ye offer the lame and sick, [is it] not evil?
        Offer it now to Thy governor; shall He be pleased with Thee,
        or accept Thy person?
        Says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 1:9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that He shall be gracious to us:
        this has been by your means: shall He regard your person?
        Says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 1:10
        Who [is there] even among you that would shut the doors [for naught]?
        Neither do ye kindle [fire] on My Altar for naught.
        I have no pleasure in you,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        neither shall I accept an offering at your hand.
Mal 1:11
        For from the rising of the sun even to the setting of the same,
        My name [shall be] great among the nations;
        and in every place incense [shall be] offered to My name,
        and a pure offering: for My name [shall be] great among the nations,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 1:12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say,
        The table of the LORD [is] polluted; and the fruit of it,
        His provision, is contemptible.
Mal 1:13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness [is it]!
        And ye have snuffed at it,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth;
        and ye brought [that which was] torn, and the lame,
        and the sick; thus ye brought an offering:
        should I accept this from your hand?
        Said the LORD.
Mal 1:14 But cursed [be] the deceiver, who has in his flock a male,
        and vows, and sacrifices to the Lord a corrupt thing:
        for I [AM] a Great King,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        and My name [is] dreadful among the nations .
Mal 2:1
        And now, ye priests, this Commandment [is] for you.
Mal 2:2 If ye shall not hear, and if ye shall not lay [it] to heart, to give glory to My name,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        I shall even send a curse upon you, and I shall curse your blessings;
        yes, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay [it] to heart.
Mal 2:3 Behold, I shall corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces,
        the dung of your solemn Festivals; and [one] shall take you away with it.
Mal 2:4 And ye shall know that I have sent this Commandment to you,
        that My Covenant might be with Levi,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 2:5 My Covenant was with him of life and peace;
        and I gave them to him [for] the fear with which he feared Me,
        and was afraid before My name.
Mal 2:6 The Law of truth was in His mouth, and iniquity was not found in His lips:
        he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.
Mal 2:7 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 Sabaoth.
Mal 2:8 But ye have departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the Law;
        ye have corrupted the Covenant of Levi,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 2:9 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.

Mal 2:10 Have we not all One Father? Has not One GOD created us?
        Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother,
        by profaning the Covenant of our fathers?
Mal 2:11 Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem;
        for Judah has profaned the Holiness of the LORD whom He loved,
        and has married the daughter of a strange god.
Mal 2:12 The LORD shall cut off the man that does this, him who wakes and him who answers{master and scholar}, out of the Tabernacles of Jacob,
        and him that offers an offering to the LORD of Sabaoth.

Mal 2:13 And this have ye done again, covering the Altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out,
        so that he regards not the offering any more, or receives [it] with good-will at your hand.
Mal 2:14 Yet ye say, Why? Because the LORD has been witness between Thee and the wife of Thy youth,
        against whom Thou have dealt treacherously:
        yet [is] she Thy companion, and the wife of Thy Covenant.
Mal 2:15 And did He not make one? Yet had He the residue of the spirit. And why one?
        He was seeking a seed of GOD Therefore take heed to your spirit,
        and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Mal 2:16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, said,
        that He hates putting away: for [one] covers violence with His garment,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth:
        therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Mal 2:17
        Ye have wearied the LORD with your words.
        Yet ye say, In what have we wearied Him? When ye say,
        Every one that does evil [is] good in the eyes of the LORD, and He delights in them;
        or, Where [is] the God of judgment?
Mal 3:1
        Behold, I send My messenger;
        before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee; [Mat 11:10]
        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,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 3:2 But who may abide the Day of His coming?
        And who shall stand when He appears?
        For He [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap.
Mal 3:3 And He shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver:
        and He shall purify the sons of Levi,
        and purge them as gold and silver,
        that they may offer to the LORD an offering in righteousness.
Mal 3:4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant to the LORD,
        as in the days of old, and as in former years.
Mal 3:5 And I shall come near to you to judgment; and I shall 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, says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 3:6 For I [AM] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Mal 3:7
        Even from the days of your fathers,
        ye have gone away from My Statutes, and have not kept [them].
        Return to Me, and I shall return to you,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.
        But ye said, In what shall we return?
Mal 3:8
        Will a man rob GOD? Yet ye have robbed Me.
        But ye say, In what have we robbed Thee?
        In tithes and offerings.
Mal 3:9 Ye [are] cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed Me,
        this whole nation.
Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the store-house,
        that there may be food in My house,
        and prove Me now with this,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        if I shall not open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing,
        that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].
Mal 3:11 And I shall rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;
        neither shall your vine miscarry against you in the field,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.

Mal 3:13 Your words have been stout against Me,
        said the LORD.
        Yet ye say, What have we spoken [so much] against Thee?
Mal 3:14 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 Sabaoth?
Mal 3:15 And now we call the proud happy; yes, they that work wickedness are built up;
        even [they that] tempt GOD are delivered.
Mal 3:16
        Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another:
        and the LORD listened, and heard [it],
        and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the LORD,
        and that thought upon His name.
Mal 3:17 And they shall be Mine,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        in that day when I make up my possession; and I shall spare them,
        as a man spares his own son that serves him.
Mal 3:18 Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked,
        between him that serves GOD and him that serves Him not.

Mal 4:1 For behold, the day comes,
        that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, and all that do wickedly,
        shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up,
        says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Mal 4:2 But to you that fear My name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings;
        and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Mal 4:3 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],
        says the LORD of Sabaoth.
Mal 4:4
        Remember ye the Law of Moses My servant,
        which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the Statutes and Judgments.
Mal 4:5 Behold, I shall send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and tremendous Day of the LORD: [Luk 1:17]
Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, [Luk 1:17]
        lest I come and smite the Earth with a curse.

Psa 1:1 [Scroll 12 Psalms]. {Part 1}.
        Blessed [is] the man that not walks in the counsel of the wicked,
        nor stands in the way of sinners,
        nor sits in the seat of scoffers!
Psa 1:2 But in the Law of the LORD [is] his delight;
        and in His Law does he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3
        And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
        that brings forth its fruit in season;
        its leaf also shall not wither;
        and whatever he does shall prosper.
Psa 1:4
        The wicked [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Psa 1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
        nor sinners in the Congregation of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous:
        but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psa 2:1 Why did the nations rage,
        and the peoples meditated vain things? [Act 4:25]
Psa 2:2 The kings of the Earth stood up,
        and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD,
        and against His Messiah, [Act 4:26]
Psa 2:3 let us break their bands asunder,
        and cast away their cords from us.
Psa 2:4
        He who sits in the Heavens shall laugh:
        the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psa 2:5 Then shall He speak to them in His wrath,
        and trouble them in His sore displeasure.
Psa 2:6 Yet have I set My King upon My Holy Mount of Zion.
Psa 2:7
        I shall declare the decree: the LORD has said to Me,
        Thou are My Son, today have I begotten Thee. [Act 13:33]
Psa 2:8 Ask of Me, and I shall give [Thee] the heathen [for] Thy inheritance,
        and the ends of the Earth [for] Thy possession.
Psa 2:9 Thou shall shepherd them with a <rod of iron>;
        Thou shall dash them in shivers like a potter's vessel. [Rev 2:27]
Psa 2:10
        Be wise now therefore, ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the Earth.
Psa 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
        and ye perish [from] the way,
        when His wrath is kindled but a little.
        Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in Him!

Psa 3:1 (Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son).
        LORD, how are they multiplied that trouble me?
        Many [are] they that rise up against me.
Psa 3:2 Many [there are] who say of my soul,
       [There is] no Salvation for him in GOD. (Selah).
Psa 3:3 But Thou, LORD, [are] a Shield for me;
        my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Psa 3:4 With my voice I cried to the LORD,
        and He replied me from His Holy Mount. (Selah).
Psa 3:5 I laid me down and slept;
        I awoke; for the LORD sustained me.
Psa 3:6 I shall not be afraid of myriads of people,
        that have set [themselves] against me on all sides.
Psa 3:7 Arise, LORD; save me, my God:
         for Thou have smitten all my enemies [upon] the cheek bone;
         Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Psa 3:8 To the LORD [belongs] Salvation:
        and Thy blessing [is] upon Thy people. (Selah).

Psa 4:1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Psalm of David).
        Reply me when I call, God of my righteousness:
        Thou have enlarged me [when I was] in distress;
        have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Psa 4:2 Ye sons of men, until when [shall ye turn] My glory into shame?
        [Until when] shall ye love vanity, [and] seek a lie? (Selah).
Psa 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart the Saint for Himself:
        The LORD shall hear when I call to Him.
Psa 4:4 Be ye angry, and sin not: [Eph 4:26]
        commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah).
Psa 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Psa 4:6 [There are] many that say, Who shall show us [any] good?
        Lift Thou upon us the light of Thy countenance, LORD.
Psa 4:7 Thou have put gladness in my heart,
        more than in the time [when] their grain and their new wine increased.
Psa 4:8 I shall both lay me down in peace, and sleep;
        for Thou only, LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Psa 5:1 (To the chief Musician on Nehiloth, Psalm of David).
        To my words, Give ear, LORD,
         consider my meditation.
Psa 5:2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God:
         for to Thee shall I pray.
Psa 5:3 LORD, Thou shall hear my voice in the morning;
         in the morning shall I direct my prayer to Thee, and shall look up.
Psa 5:4 For Thou [are] not a God that has pleasure in wickedness:
         neither shall evil dwell with Thee.
Psa 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in Thy sight:
         Thou hate all workers of lawlessness.
Psa 5:6 Thou shall destroy them that speak lies:
         the LORD shall abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
Psa 5:7 But as for me, I shall come [into] Thy house in the multitude of Thy mercy:
         [and] in Thy fear shall I worship towards Thy Holy Temple.
Psa 5:8 Lead me, LORD, in Thy righteousness,
         because of my enemies; make Thy way straight before my face.
Psa 5:9 For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part [is] very wickedness;
        Their throat [is] an open sepulchre with their tongues they have used deceit. [Rom 3:13]
Psa 5:10 Destroy Thou them, GOD; let them fall by their own counsels;
          cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
          for they have rebelled against Thee.
Psa 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice:
          let them ever shout for joy, because Thou defend them:
          let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee.
Psa 5:12 For Thou, LORD, shall bless the righteous;
          with favour as a shield shall Thou surround him.

Psa 6:1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, Psalm of David).
        LORD, rebuke me not in Thy anger,
         neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
Psa 6:2 Have mercy upon me, LORD; for I [am] weak:
        LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
Psa 6:3
        My soul is also greatly vexed:
         but Thou, LORD, until when?
Psa 6:4 Return, LORD, deliver my soul:
        save me for Thy mercy' sake.
Psa 6:5 For in death [there is] no remembrance of Thee:
         in Sheol who shall give Thee thanks?
Psa 6:6 I [am] weary with my groaning;
         all the night I make my bedstead to swim;
         I water my couch with my tears.
Psa 6:7 My eye is consumed because of grief;
         it grows old because of all my enemies.
Psa 6:8 Depart from Me, [all ye] workers of lawlessness. [Mat 7:23 Luk 13:27]
        For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
Psa 6:9
        The LORD has heard my supplication;
        the LORD shall receive my prayer.
Psa 6:10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly vexed:
         let them return [and] be suddenly ashamed.

Psa 7:1 (Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite).
        LORD my God, in Thee do I put my trust:
         save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me;
Psa 7:2 lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
Psa 7:3 LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands.
Psa 7:4
        If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me;
        (and I have rescued him that without cause is my enemy).
Psa 7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and overtake [it];
         yes, let him tread down my life upon the Earth, and lay my honour in the dust. (Selah).

Psa 7:6 Arise, LORD, in Thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies:
         and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] Thou have commanded.
Psa 7:7 So shall the Congregation of the people surround Thee:
        for their sakes therefore return Thou on high.
Psa 7:8
        <The LORD shall judge the people>:
        judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [that is] in me.
Psa 7:9 Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end;
        but establish the just: for the righteous GOD searches the hearts and reins.
Psa 7:10 My Shield [is] from GOD, who saves the upright in heart.
Psa 7:11
        GOD judges the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
Psa 7:12 If he turn not, He shall whet His sword; He has bent His bow, and made it ready.
Psa 7:13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; He ordains His arrows against the persecutors.
Psa 7:14
        Behold, he travails with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Psa 7:15 He made a pit, and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch [which] he made.
Psa 7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
Psa 7:17 I shall praise the LORD according to His righteousness: and shall sing-psalms to the name of the LORD Most High.
Psa 8:1 (To the chief Musician on Gittith, Psalm of David).
        LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] Thy name in all the Earth!
        Who have set Thy glory above the Heavens.
Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of infants and sucklings Thou have perfected praise, [Mat 21:16]
        because of Thy enemies, that Thou might still the enemy and the avenger.
Psa 8:3 When I consider Thy Heavens, the work of Thy fingers;
        the moon and the stars, which Thou have ordained.
Psa 8:4
        What is man, that Thou are mindful of Him?
        Or the Son of Man, that Thou visit Him? [Heb 2:6]
Psa 8:5 Thou made Him a little lower than the Angels,
        Thou crowned Him with glory and Honour, [Heb 2:7]
Psa 8:6 and did set Him over the works of Thy hands;
        Thou have put all [things] in subjection under His feet. [Heb 2:8 1Co 15:27]
Psa 8:7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field;
Psa 8:8 the bird of the air, and the fish of the sea,
        [and whatever] passes through the paths of the seas.
Psa 8:9 LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] Thy name in all the Earth!

Psa 9:1 (To the chief Musician on Muth-labben, Psalm of David).
        I shall praise [Thee], LORD, with my whole heart;
        I shall show forth all Thy wonders.
Psa 9:2 I shall be glad and rejoice in Thee:
        I shall sing-psalms to Thy name, Thou Most High.
Psa 9:3
        When my enemies are turned back,
        they shall fall and perish at Thy presence.
Psa 9:4 For Thou have maintained my right and my cause;
        Thou sat upon the throne judging right.
Psa 9:5 Thou have rebuked the heathen,
        Thou have destroyed the wicked,
        Thou have put out their name forever and ever.
Psa 9:6 The enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:
        and Thou have destroyed cities; their memorial has perished with them.
Psa 9:7
        But the LORD shall endure forever:
        He has prepared His throne for judgment.
Psa 9:8 And He shall judge the World in righteousness,
        He shall minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
Psa 9:9 And the LORD shall be a High Tower{Defence} for the oppressed,
         a High Tower{Defence} in times of trouble.
Psa 9:10 And they that know Thy name shall put their trust in Thee:
         for Thou, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek Thee.
Psa 9:11
        Sing-psalms to the LORD, who dwells in Zion:
         declare among the people His doings.
Psa 9:12
        When He makes inquiry for blood,
         He remembers them: He forgets not the cry of the humble.
Psa 9:13 Have mercy upon me, LORD;
         consider my trouble [which I suffer] from them that hate me,
         Thou that lift me up from the gates of death:
Psa 9:14 so that I may show forth all Thy praise in the gates of the Daughter of Zion:
          I shall rejoice in Thy Salvation.
Psa 9:15
        The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made:
         in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Psa 9:16 The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] He executes:
          the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion) (Selah).

Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into Sheol,
          [and] all the nations that forget GOD.
Psa 9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten:
          the expectation of the poor shall [not] perish forever.
Psa 9:19
        Arise, LORD; let not man prevail:
         let the heathen be judged in Thy sight.
Psa 9:20 Put them in fear, LORD:
         let the heathen may know themselves [to be but] men. (Selah).

Psa 10:1 Why stand Thou afar off, LORD?
        [Why] hide Thou [thyself] in times of trouble?
Psa 10:2 The wicked in [his] pride does persecute the poor:
         let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Psa 10:3 For the wicked boasts of his soul's desire,
          and blesses the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhors.
Psa 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance,
          shall not seek: there [is] no God in all his thoughts.
Psa 10:5 His ways are always grievous;
         Thy Judgments [are] far above out of his sight:
          [as for] all his enemies, he puffs at them.
Psa 10:6 He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved.
         From generation to generation never [shall I be] in evil.
Psa 10:7 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. [Rom 3:14]
        and deceit under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
Psa 10:8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages:
         in the secret places does he murder the innocent:
         his eyes are privily set against the poor.
Psa 10:9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den.
         He lies in wait to catch the poor.
         He does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
Psa 10:10 He crouches, [and] humbles himself,
           that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Psa 10:11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten:
          He hides His face; He shall never see [it].
Psa 10:12
          Arise, LORD; God, lift up Thy hand: forget not the humble.
Psa 10:13 Why does the wicked despise GOD?
          He has said in his heart, Thou shall not require [it].
Psa 10:14 Thou have seen [it]; for Thou behold mischief and spite,
           to requite [it] with Thy hand: the poor commits himself to Thee;
          Thou are the Helper of the fatherless.
Psa 10:15 Break Thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]:
           seek out his wickedness [until Thou] shall find none.
Psa 10:16 The LORD [is] King forever and ever:
           the heathen have perished out of His land.
Psa 10:17 The desire of the humble have Thou heard LORD:
           Thou shall prepare their heart, Thou shall cause Thy ear to hear:
Psa 10:18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
           that the man of the Earth may no more oppress.

Psa 11:1 (To the chief Musician, [Psalm] of David).
        In the LORD I put my trust: how say ye to my soul,
         Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?
Psa 11:2 For behold, the wicked bend [their] bow,
         they make ready their arrow upon the string,
         that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
Psa 11:3 When the foundations are destroyed, what has [the] righteous done?
Psa 11:4 The LORD [is] in His Holy Temple, the LORD's throne [is] in Heaven:
          His eyes behold, His eyelids try the sons of men.
Psa 11:5 The LORD tries the righteous:
          but the wicked and him that loves violence His soul hates.
Psa 11:6 Upon the wicked He shall rain snares,
          fire and brimstone, and a scorching tempest:
          [this shall be] the portion of their cup.
Psa 11:7 For the righteous LORD loves righteousness;
          His countenance beholds the upright.

Psa 12:1 (To the chief Musician on Sheminith. Psalm of David).
        Help, LORD; for the Saint ceases;
         for the faithful fail from among the sons of men.
Psa 12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:
         [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.
Psa 12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips,
         [and] the tongue that speaks proud things:
Psa 12:4 who have said, With our tongue shall we prevail;
          our lips [are] our own: who [is] Lord over us?
Psa 12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now shall I arise,
         said the LORD; I shall set [him] in safety [from him that] puffs at him.
Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD [are] <pure words>:
         [as] silver tried in a furnace of Earth, purified seven-fold.
Psa 12:7 <Thou shall keep them>, LORD,
         <Thou shall preserve them> from this generation forever.
Psa 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Psa 13:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
        Until when shall Thou forget me, LORD? Forever?
        Until when shall Thou hide Thy face from me?
Psa 13:2 Until when shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily?
        Until when shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Psa 13:3
        Consider [and] reply me, LORD my God:
        lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of death;
Psa 13:4 lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
        [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I [am] moved.
Psa 13:5 But I have trusted in Thy mercy;
        my heart shall rejoice in Thy Salvation.
Psa 13:6 I shall sing to the LORD,
        because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Psa 14:1 (To the chief Musician, [Psalm] of David).
        The fool has said in his heart, [There is] no GOD.
        They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
        [there is] none that doing good.
Psa 14:2 The LORD looked down from Heaven upon the sons of men,
          to see if there were [any] of understanding, seeking after GOD.
Psa 14:3 They all turned aside, they are together became unprofitable:
         [there is] none that doing good, no, not one. [Rom 3:12]
Psa 14:4 Have all the workers of lawlessness no knowledge?
         Who eat up My people [as] they eat bread!
         They call not upon the LORD.
Psa 14:5 There were they in great fear: for GOD [is] in the generation of the righteous.
Psa 14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his Refuge.
Psa 14:7 That the Salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!
         When the LORD brings back the captivity of His people,
         Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.

Psa 15:1 (Psalm of David).
        LORD, who shall abide in Thy Tabernacle?
         Who shall dwell in Thy Holy Mount?
Psa 15:2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness,
          and speaks the truth in his heart.
Psa 15:3 He [that] backbites not with his tongue,
          nor does evil to his neighbour,
          nor takes up a reproach against his neighbour.
Psa 15:4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned;
          but He honours them that fear the LORD.
         He [that] swears to [his own] hurt, and changes not.
Psa 15:5 He [that] puts not out his money to usury,
          nor takes reward against the innocent.
         He who does these [things] shall never be moved.

Psa 16:1 (Michtam of David).
        Preserve me, God: for in Thee do I put my trust.
Psa 16:2 [My soul], Thou have said to the LORD,
         Thou [are] my Lord: my goodness [extends] not to Thee;
Psa 16:3 [but] to the Saints that [are] in the Earth,
          and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
Psa 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another:
         their drink-offerings of blood shall I not offer,
         nor take their names into my lips.
Psa 16:5 The LORD [is] the portion of my inheritance and of my cup:
         Thou maintain my lot.
Psa 16:6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant [places];
          yes, I have a goodly heritage.
Psa 16:7
         I shall bless the LORD, who has given me counsel:
          my reins also instruct me in the night season.
Psa 16:8 I foresaw the LORD always before Me,
          for [He is] on My right [hand], that I may not be moved: [Act 2:25]
Psa 16:9 did My heart rejoice, and My tongue glad;
          moreover, my flesh shall rest in hope: [Act 2:26]
Psa 16:10 for Thou shall not leave My soul in Sheol;
           neither shall Thou give Thy Holy [One] to see corruption. [Act 2:27 Act 13:35]
Psa 16:11 Thou have made known to Me [the] ways of life;
          Thou shall make Me full of joy with Thy countenance; [Act 2:28]
           at Thy right hand [are] pleasures forever.

Psa 17:1 (Prayer of David).
        Hear the right, LORD, attend to my cry,
        give ear to my prayer, [that goes] not out of feigned lips.
Psa 17:2 Let my sentence come forth from Thy presence;
         let Thy eyes behold the things that are upright.
Psa 17:3 Thou have proved my heart; Thou have visited me in the night;
         Thou have tried me, [and] shall find nothing;
         I have purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
Psa 17:4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of Thy lips,
         I have kept me [from] the paths of the destroyer.
Psa 17:5 Uphold my goings in Thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.
Psa 17:6 I have called upon Thee, for Thou shall reply me,
         God: incline Thy ear to me, [and] hear my speech.
Psa 17:7 Show Thy wonderful kindness,
          Thou that save by Thy right hand them who put their trust [in Thee],
          from those that rise up [against them].
Psa 17:8 Keep me as the pupil of the eye,
         hide me under the shade of Thy wings.
Psa 17:9 From the wicked that oppress me,
        [from] my enemies of soul, [who] surround me,
Psa 17:10 they are enclosed in their own fat:
          with their mouth they speak proudly;
Psa 17:11 they have now surrounded us in our steps:
          they have set their eyes bowing down to the Earth;
Psa 17:12 like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey,
           and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Psa 17:13 Arise, LORD disappoint him, cast him down:
           deliver my soul from the wicked, [who is] Thy sword:
Psa 17:14 from men [who are] Thy hand, LORD,
          from men of the World, [who have] their portion in [this] life,
           and whose belly Thou fill with Thy hid [treasure]:
           they are full of sons, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their infants.
Psa 17:15 As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness:
           I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.

Psa 18:1 (To the chief Musician, [Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD,
          who spoke to the LORD the words of this song;
          in the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies,
          and from the hand of Saul: and he said).
         I shall love Thee, LORD, my Strength.
Psa 18:2 The LORD [is] my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my Rock{Strength},
          my Trust in Him; my Shield, and my Horn of Salvation, [and] my High Tower.
Psa 18:3 I shall call upon the LORD, [who is] worthy to be praised:
          so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Psa 18:4
         The sorrows of death surround me,
          and the floods of the worthless made me afraid.
Psa 18:5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
          the snares of death seized me.
Psa 18:6
         In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God:
         and He heard my voice out of His Temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears.
Psa 18:7 Then the Earth shook and trembled;
          the foundations also of the mountains moved and were shaken,
          because He was wroth.
Psa 18:8 There went up a smoke out of His nostrils,
          and fire out of His mouth devoured:
          coals were kindled by it.
Psa 18:9
          And He bowed the Heavens, and came down;
           and darkness [was] under His feet.
Psa 18:10 And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
           and He flew upon the wings of the wind.
Psa 18:11 He made darkness His secret place;
          His pavilion around Him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
Psa 18:12
        At the brightness [that was] before Him his thick clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
Psa 18:13 And the LORD thundered in the Heavens, and the Most High gave His voice; [hail and coals of fire].
Psa 18:14 And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them;
           and He shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
Psa 18:15
        Then the channels of waters were seen,
         and the foundations of the World were uncovered,
         at Thy rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
Psa 18:16 He sent from above, He took me,
          He drew me out of many waters.
Psa 18:17
          He delivered me from my strong enemy,
           and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Psa 18:18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity:
           but the LORD was my support.
Psa 18:19 And He brought me forth into a large place;
          He rescued me, because He delighted in me.
Psa 18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;
           according to the cleanness of my hands has He recompensed me.
Psa 18:21
          For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
           and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Psa 18:22 For all His Judgments [were] before me,
           and I did not put away His Statutes from me.
Psa 18:23 I was also upright before Him,
           and I kept myself from my iniquity.
Psa 18:24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness,
           according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Psa 18:25 With the merciful Thou shall show Thyself merciful.
          With an upright man Thou shall show Thyself upright.
Psa 18:26 With the pure Thou shall show Thyself pure;
          and with the perverting Thou shall contend.
Psa 18:27
          For Thou shall save the afflicted people;
           but shall bring down high looks.
Psa 18:28 For Thou shall light my lamp:
          the LORD my God shall enlighten my darkness.
Psa 18:29 For by Thee I have run through a troop;
           and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Psa 18:30 [As for] God, His way [is] perfect;
           the word of the LORD is tried:
           He [is] a Shield to all those that trust in Him.
Psa 18:31
          For who [is] God except the LORD?
           Or who [is] a Rock except our God?
Psa 18:32 [It is] God that girds me with strength,
           and makes my way perfect.
Psa 18:33 He makes my feet like hinds' [feet],
           and sets me upon my high places.
Psa 18:34 He teaches my hands to war;
           so that a bow of bronze is broken by my arms.
Psa 18:35 Thou have also given me the Shield of Thy Salvation:
           and Thy right hand has held me up and Thy gentleness has made me great.
Psa 18:36 Thou have enlarged my steps under me,
           that my feet did not slip.
Psa 18:37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them:
           neither did I turn back until they were consumed.
Psa 18:38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise:
           they have fallen under my feet.
Psa 18:39 For Thou have girded me with strength to battle:
          Thou have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Psa 18:40 Thou have also given me the necks of my enemies,
           that I might destroy them that hate me.
Psa 18:41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them]:
           to the LORD, but He answered them not.
Psa 18:42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind:
           I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
Psa 18:43 Thou have delivered me from the strivings of the people;
           [and] Thou have made me the head of the heathen:
           a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me.
Psa 18:44
        As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me:
          the strangers shall submit themselves to me.
Psa 18:45 Strangers shall fade away,
           and be afraid from their close places.
Psa 18:46 The LORD lives; and blessed [be] my Rock;
           and let the God of my Salvation be exalted.
Psa 18:47
          [It is] God that avenges me,
           and subdues the people under me.
Psa 18:48 He delivers me from my enemies:
           yes, Thou lift me up above those that rise up against me:
           Thou have delivered me from the violent man.
Psa 18:49 LORD, Therefore I shall confess to Thee among the gentiles,
           and sing-psalms to Thy name. [Rom 15:9]
Psa 18:50 Great Salvation gives He to His king;
           and shows mercy to His anointed,
           to David, and to his seed forever.

Psa 19:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
        The Heavens declare the glory of God;
         and the expanse shows the work of His hands.
Psa 19:2
        Day to day utters speech,
        and night to night shows knowledge.
Psa 19:3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard.
Psa 19:4 Their sound went into all the Earth,
         and their sayings to the ends of the World.
         In them has He set a Tabernacle for the sun, [Rom 10:18]
Psa 19:5 which [is] as a Bridegroom coming out of His chamber,
        [and] rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
Psa 19:6 His going forth [is] from the end of the Heaven,
         and His circuit to the ends of it:
         and there is nothing hid from His heat.
Psa 19:7
         The Law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul:
         the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8 The precepts of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart:
         the Commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.
Psa 19:9 The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring forever:
         the Judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
Psa 19:10
          More to be desired [are they] than gold, yes, than much fine gold:
          sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.
Psa 19:11 And by them is Thy servant warned:
          [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward.
Psa 19:12 Who can understand [his] errors?
          Cleanse Thou me from secret [faults].
Psa 19:13 Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous [sins];
           let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright,
           and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Psa 19:14
           Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
            be acceptable in Thy sight, LORD, my Rock{Strength}, and my Redeemer.

Psa 20:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
        May the LORD reply Thee in the day of trouble;
        the name of the God of Jacob defend Thee.
Psa 20:2 May He send Thee help from the Sanctuary,
          and strengthen Thee out of Zion.
Psa 20:3 Remember all Thy offerings,
          and accept Thy burnt-offering. (Selah).

Psa 20:4 Grant Thee according to Thy own heart,
          and fulfil all Thy counsel.
Psa 20:5 We shall rejoice in Thy Salvation,
          and in the name of our God we shall set up [our] banners.
          May the LORD fulfil all Thy petitions.
Psa 20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed;
          He shall reply him from His Holy Heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.
Psa 20:7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses:
          but we shall remember the name of the LORD our God.
Psa 20:8 They are brought down and fallen:
          but we are raised, and stand upright.
Psa 20:9 Save, LORD:
          let the King reply us when we call.

Psa 21:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
        The king shall joy in Thy strength, LORD;
         and in Thy Salvation how greatly shall He rejoice!
Psa 21:2 Thou have given him his heart's desire,
         and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah).

Psa 21:3 For Thou have met him with the blessings of goodness:
         Thou have set a crown of pure gold on his head.
Psa 21:4 He asked life of Thee, [and] Thou gave [it] to him,
         length of days forever and ever.
Psa 21:5 His glory [is] great in Thy Salvation:
         honour and majesty have Thou laid upon him.
Psa 21:6 For Thou make Him blessings forever:
         Thou make Him exceeding glad with Thy countenance.
Psa 21:7 For the king trusts in the LORD,
         and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Psa 21:8
        Thy hand shall find out all Thy enemies:
        Thy right hand shall find out those that hate Thee.
Psa 21:9 Thou shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Thy anger:
         the LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Psa 21:10 Their fruit shall Thou destroy from the Earth,
           and their seed from among the sons of men.
Psa 21:11 For they intended evil against Thee:
           they imagined a mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
Psa 21:12 Therefore shall Thou make them turn their back,
           [when] Thou shall make ready Thy [arrows] upon Thy strings against the face of them.
Psa 21:13 Be Thou exalted, LORD, in Thy own strength:
          [so] shall we sing and sing-psalms Thy power.

Psa 22:1 (To the chief Musician on Aijeleth Shahar, Psalm of David).
        My God, my God, why have Thou forsaken Me? [Mat 27:46]
        Far from my Salvation, are the words of my roaring?
Psa 22:2 My God, I cry in the day-time, but Thou reply not;
          and in the night season, and [am] not silent.
Psa 22:3 But Thou [are] Holy, Thou that inhabit the praises of Israel.
Psa 22:4 Our fathers trusted in Thee:
         they trusted, and Thou did deliver them.
Psa 22:5 They cried to Thee, and were delivered:
         they trusted in Thee, and were not confounded.
Psa 22:6 But I [am] a worm, and no man;
          a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
Psa 22:7 All they that see Me deride Me:
         they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
Psa 22:8 He turned to the LORD [that] He would deliver him:
         let Him deliver him, seeing He delighted in him.
Psa 22:9 But Thou are He who took me out of the womb:
          Thou did make Me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.
Psa 22:10 I was cast upon Thee from the womb,
          from My mother's belly: Thou [are] my God.
Psa 22:11 Be not far from Me; for trouble [is] near;
           for [there is] none to help.
Psa 22:12 Many bulls have surrounded Me:
           strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset Me round.
Psa 22:13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths,
          [as] a ravening and a roaring lion.
Psa 22:14 I [am] poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint:
           my heart is like wax; it is melted in the middle of my bowels.
Psa 22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
           and my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
           and Thou have brought Me into the dust of death.
Psa 22:16 For dogs have surrounded Me:
          the assembly of the wicked have enclosed Me:
          they pierced My hands and My feet.
Psa 22:17 I may number all My bones:
          they look [and] stare upon Me.
Psa 22:18 They divided My garments among them,
          and they cast for My clothing a lot. [Mat 27:35]
Psa 22:19 But be not Thou far from me, LORD:
          my Strength, haste Thee to help me.
Psa 22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword;
          My darling from the power of the dog.
Psa 22:21 Save me from the mouth of the lion:
          for Thou have replied me from the horns of the rhinos.
Psa 22:22 I shall declare Thy name to My brethren,
          in the middle of the Congregation shall I sing praise to Thee. [Heb 2:12]
Psa 22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, Praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob,
          glorify Him; and fear Him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Psa 22:24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
          neither has He hid His face from him; but when he cried to Him, He heard.
Psa 22:25 My praise [shall be] of Thee in the great Congregation:
          I shall pay My vows before them that fear Him.
Psa 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied:
          they shall praise the LORD that seek Him:
          your heart shall live forever.
Psa 22:27
          All the ends of the Earth,
          shall remember and turn to the LORD:
          and all the kindreds of the nations,
          shall worship before Thee.
Psa 22:28 For the Kingdom [is] the LORD's:
          and He [is] the governor among the nations.
Psa 22:29 All [they that are] 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.
Psa 22:30 A seed shall serve Him;
           it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
Psa 22:31 They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness,
           to a people that shall be born, that He has done [this].

Psa 23:1 (Psalm of David).
        The LORD [is] my Shepherd; I shall not lack.
Psa 23:2 He makes me to lie down in grassy pastures:
         He leads me beside the still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restores my soul:
         He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Psa 23:4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of death,
        I shall fear no evil: for Thou [are] with me;
        Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Psa 23:5 Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies:
         Thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
Psa 23:6 Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
         and I shall dwell in the House of the LORD forever.

Psa 24:1 (Psalm of David).
        The Earth [is] the LORD's, and its fullness.
        The World, and they that dwell in it. [1Co 10:26]
Psa 24:2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
         and established it upon the floods.
Psa 24:3 Who shall ascend upon the Mount of the LORD?
          And who shall stand in His Holy place?
Psa 24:4 He who has clean hands, and a pure heart;
          who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
Psa 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD,
          and righteousness from the God of his Salvation.

          The LORD of Sabaoth, He [is] the King of glory. (Selah).

          Lift up my soul, my God.
Psa 25:2  [(B)]I <trust> in Thee:
          let me not be ashamed,
          let not my enemies triumph over me.
Psa 25:3  [(G)]<Also>, let none that wait on Thee be ashamed:
          let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.
Psa 25:4  [(D)]Show me Thy <ways>, LORD;
          teach me Thy paths.
Psa 25:5  [(E)]<Lead> me in Thy truth, and teach me:

Psa 25:6  [(Z)]<Remember>, LORD, Thy tender mercies.
          [(V)]<And> Thy loving kindnesses;
          for they [have been] ever of old.
Psa 25:7  [(H)]Remember not <the sins> of my youth,
          nor my transgressions:
          according to Thy mercy remember Thou me,
          for sake of Thy goodness, LORD.
Psa 25:8 [(Th)]<Good> and upright [is] the LORD:
          therefore shall He teach sinners in the way.
Psa 25:9  [(J)]<He shall guide> the meek in judgment:
           and the meek shall He teach His way.
Psa 25:10 [(K)]<All> the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth,
          to such as keep His Covenant and His Testimonies.
Psa 25:11 [(L)]For Thy name's <sake>, LORD,
          pardon my iniquity; for it [is] great.

          let me not be ashamed;
          for I put my trust in Thee.
Psa 25:21 [(T)]Let <integrity> and uprightness preserve me;
          for I wait on Thee;
Psa 25:22 GOD redeem Israel out of all his troubles.

Psa 26:1 ([Psalm] of David).
        Judge me, LORD; for I have walked in my integrity:
         I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide.
Psa 26:2 Examine me, LORD, and prove me;
          search my reins and my heart.
Psa 26:3 For Thy mercy [is] before my eyes:
          and I have walked in Thy truth.
Psa 26:4 I have not sat with vain men,
          neither shall I go in with dissemblers.
Psa 26:5 I have hated the Congregation of evil-doers;
          and shall not sit with the wicked.
Psa 26:6 I shall wash my hands in innocence:
          so shall I go around Thy Altar, LORD:
Psa 26:7 that I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
          and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
Psa 26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of Thy house,
          and the place where Thy honour dwells.
Psa 26:9 Gather not my soul with sinners,
          nor my life with bloody men:
Psa 26:10 in whose hands [is] mischief,
          and their right hand is full of bribes.
Psa 26:11 But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity:
          redeem me, and be merciful to me.
Psa 26:12 My foot stands in straightness:
          in the Congregations shall I bless the LORD.

Psa 27:1 ([Psalm] of David).
        The LORD [is] my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear?
        The LORD [is] the Strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psa 27:2 When the wicked, my adversaries and my enemies,
         came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Psa 27:3 Though a camp should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
         though war should rise against me, in this [shall] I [be] confident.
Psa 27:4 One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that shall 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.
Psa 27:5 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>.
Psa 27:6
        And now shall my head be lifted above my enemies around me:
        therefore shall I offer in His Tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
         I shall sing, yes, I shall sing-psalms to the LORD.
Psa 27:7 Hear, LORD, [when] I cry with my voice:
         have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
Psa 27:8 [When Thou said], Seek ye my face; my heart said to Thee,
         Thy face, LORD, shall I seek.
Psa 27:9 Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger:
         Thou have been my Help; leave me not,
         neither forsake me, God of my Salvation.
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
          then the LORD shall take me up.
Psa 27:11
          Teach me Thy way, LORD,
           and lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
Psa 27:12 Deliver me not over to the [wil of the] soul of my enemies:
           for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
Psa 27:13 [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness,
           of the LORD in the land of the living.
Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD:
           be of good courage, and He shall strengthen Thy heart:
           wait, I say, on the LORD.

Psa 28:1 ([Psalm] of David).
        To Thee shall I cry, LORD my Rock; be not silent to me:
         lest, [if] Thou should be silent to me,
         I should become like them that go down into the pit.
Psa 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to Thee,
          when I lift my hands towards Thy Holy Oracle.
Psa 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of lawlessness,
          who speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief [is] in their hearts.
Psa 28:4
        Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours.
        Give them after the work of their hands; render recompense to them;
Psa 28:5 because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of His hands,
         He shall destroy them, and not build them up.
Psa 28:6
        Blessed [be] the LORD,
         because He has heard the voice of my supplications!

          and I [am] helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song shall I Praise Him.
Psa 28:8 The LORD [is] their Strength, and He [is] the saving Strength of His anointed.

Psa 29:2 Give to the LORD, the glory due to His name; worship the LORD in the beauty of Holiness.
Psa 29:3
         The voice of the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD [is] upon many waters.
Psa 29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful.
         The voice of the LORD [is] full of majesty.
Psa 29:5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
Psa 29:6 (He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young rhino).
Psa 29:7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.
Psa 29:8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
Psa 29:9 The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and makes bare the forests:
          and in His Temple does every one speaks of [His] glory.
Psa 29:10
        The LORD sits upon the flood; yes, the LORD sits King forever.
Psa 29:11 The LORD shall give strength to His people; the LORD shall bless His people with peace.

Psa 30:1 (Psalm [and] Song, [at] the dedication of the House of David).
        I shall extol Thee, LORD; for Thou have lifted me up,
         and have not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
Psa 30:2 LORD my God, I cried to Thee, and Thou have healed me.
Psa 30:3 LORD, Thou have brought up my soul from Sheol:
        Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down into the pit.
Psa 30:4
         Sing-psalms to the LORD, ye His Saints,
          and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness.
Psa 30:5 For His anger [endures but] a moment; in His favour [is] life:
          weeping may endure in the evening, but joy [comes] in the morning.
Psa 30:6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
Psa 30:7 LORD, by Thy favour Thou have made my mountain to stand strong:
          Thou did hide Thy face, [and] I have been troubled.
Psa 30:8 I cried to Thee, LORD; and to the LORD I made supplication.
Psa 30:9 What profit [is there] in my blood, when I go down into the pit?
        Shall the dust praise Thee? Shall it declare Thy truth?
Psa 30:10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be Thou my Helper.
Psa 30:11 Thou have turned my mourning into dancing for me:
          Thou have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
Psa 30:12 to the end that my glory may sing-psalms to Thee,
          and not be silent. LORD my God, I shall give thanks to Thee forever.

Psa 31:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
         In Thee, LORD, do I put my trust;
          let me never be ashamed: deliver me in Thy righteousness.
Psa 31:2 Incline Thy ear to me; deliver me speedily:
          be Thou my strong Rock, for a house of defence to save me.
Psa 31:3 For Thou [are] my Rock and my Fortress;
          therefore for Thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Psa 31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me:
          for Thou [are] my Strength.
Psa 31:5 Into Thy hands I shall commit my spirit: [Luk 23:46]
        Thou have redeemed me, LORD, God of truth.
Psa 31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities:
          but I trust in the LORD.
Psa 31:7 I shall be glad and rejoice in Thy mercy:
          for Thou have considered my trouble;
          Thou have known my soul in adversities;
Psa 31:8 and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:
         Thou have set my foot in a large room.
Psa 31:9 Have mercy upon me, LORD, for I [am] in trouble:
          my eye is consumed with grief, my soul and my belly.
Psa 31:10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:
           my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Psa 31:11 I have been a reproach among all my enemies,
           but especially among my neighbours,
           and a fear to my acquaintances:
           they that see me in the streets flee out from me.
Psa 31:12 I have been forgotten as a dead man out of heart:
          I have been like a broken vessel.
Psa 31:13 For I have heard the slander of many:
          terror [is] on every side:
          while they took counsel together against me,
          they devised to take away my soul.
Psa 31:14
        But I trusted in Thee, LORD:
         I said, Thou [are] my God.
Psa 31:15 My times [are] in Thy hand:
          deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
          and from them that persecute me.
Psa 31:16 Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant:
          save me for Thy mercy' sake.
Psa 31:17 Let me not be ashamed, LORD; for I have called upon Thee.
          Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in Sheol.
Psa 31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;
           which speak arrogant things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
Psa 31:19 How great [is] Thy goodness,
           which Thou have laid up for them that fear Thee;
          [which] Thou have wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men!
Psa 31:20 Thou shall hide them in the secret of Thy presence from the pride of man:
          Thou shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Psa 31:21 Blessed [be] the LORD:
          for He has showed me His wonderful kindness in a strong city!
Psa 31:22 For I said in my haste, I [am] cut off from before Thy eyes:
          surely Thou heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to Thee.
Psa 31:23 Love the LORD, all ye His Saints:
          [for] the LORD preserves the faithful,
           and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
Psa 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart,
           all ye that hope in the LORD.

Psa 32:1 ([Psalm] of David, Maschil).
         Blessed are they whose iniquities were forgiven,
          and whose sins were covered! [Rom 4:7]
Psa 32:2 Blessed [is] the man to whom the LORD may not count sin, [Rom 4:8]
          and in whose spirit [there is] no guile!
Psa 32:3 When I kept silence,
          my bones became old through my roaring all the day long.
Psa 32:4 For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me:
          my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah).

Psa 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to Thee,
          and have I not hid my iniquity.
         I said, I shall confess my transgressions to the LORD;
          and Thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah).

Psa 32:6 For this shall every Saint pray to Thee in a time when Thou may be found:
          surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near to him.
Psa 32:7 Thou [are] my Hiding-place; Thou shall preserve me from trouble;
         Thou shall go around me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah).

Psa 32:8 I shall instruct Thee, and teach Thee in the way which Thou shall go:
         I shall guide Thee with my eye.
Psa 32:9 Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no understanding:
          whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
          lest they come near to Thee.
Psa 32:10 Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked:
           but he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround Him.
Psa 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:
           and shout for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.

Psa 33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous:
         [for] praise is comely for the upright.
Psa 33:2 Praise the LORD with harp.
         Sing-psalms to Him with the psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings.
Psa 33:3 Sing to Him a new song;
         play skilfully with a loud noise.
Psa 33:4 For the word of the LORD [is] right;
         and all His works [are done] in truth.
Psa 33:5 He loves righteousness and judgment:
         the Earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
Psa 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the Heavens made;
          and all the Army of them by the breath of His mouth.
Psa 33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap:
         He lays up the Abyss in store-houses.
Psa 33:8 Let all the Earth fear the LORD.
         Let all the inhabitants of the World stand in awe of Him.
Psa 33:9 For He spoke, and it was [done];
          He commanded, and it stood fast.
Psa 33:10 The LORD breaks the counsel of the heathen:
           He discourage the thoughts of the peoples.
Psa 33:11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
          the thoughts of His heart from generation to generation.
Psa 33:12 Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD;
          [and] the people [whom] He has chosen for His own inheritance!
Psa 33:13 The LORD looks from Heaven;
          He beholds all the sons of men.
Psa 33:14 From the place of His habitation,
          He looks upon all the inhabitants of the Earth.
Psa 33:15 He fashions their hearts alike;
          He considers all their works.
Psa 33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of a army:
           a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
Psa 33:17 A horse [is] a vain thing for safety:
           neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength.
Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear Him,
           upon them that hope in His mercy;
Psa 33:19 to deliver their soul from death,
           and to keep them alive in famine.
Psa 33:20 Our soul waits for the LORD:
           He [is] our Help and our Shield.
Psa 33:21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
           because we have trusted in His Holy name.
Psa 33:22 Let Thy mercy, LORD, be upon us,
           according as we hope in Thee.

          when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech;
          who drove him away, and he departed).

          His praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.

           and [his] lips that they speak no guile. [1Pe 3:11]

           let [him] seek peace, and pursue it. [1Pe 3:11]
Psa 34:15 [(O)]<The eyes> of the LORD are over the righteous,
           and His ears [are open] to their prayers. [1Pe 3:12]

           but the LORD delivers Him out of them all.

Psa 35:1 ([Psalm] of David).
        Plead my [cause], LORD, with them that strive with me:
        fight against them that fight against me.
Psa 35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Psa 35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me:
         say to my soul, I [am] Thy Salvation.
Psa 35:4 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.
Psa 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind:
          and let the Angel of the LORD chase [them].
Psa 35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery:
         and let the Angel of the LORD persecute them.
Psa 35:7 For without cause they have hid for me their net [in] a pit,
         [which] without cause they have dig for my soul.
Psa 35:8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares;
          and let his net that he has hid catch himself:
          into that very destruction let him fall.
Psa 35:9 My soul shall be joyful in the LORD:
          it shall rejoice in His Salvation.
Psa 35:10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like Thee,
           who deliver the poor from him that is too strong for him,
           even the poor and the needy from him that spoils him?
Psa 35:11 False witnesses arose; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not.
Psa 35:12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul.
Psa 35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth:
          I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
Psa 35:14 I behaved myself as though he [had been] my friend [or] brother:
          I bowed down heavily, as one that mourns [for his] mother.
Psa 35:15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and assembled themselves,
           the defamers assembled themselves against me,
           and I knew [it] not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
Psa 35:16 with hypocritical mockers in feasts,
           they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Psa 35:17 Lord, until when shall Thou look on?
           Rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
Psa 35:18 I shall give Thee thanks in the great Congregation:
          I shall praise Thee among many people.
Psa 35:19 Let not them that are My enemies wrongfully rejoice over Me:
        [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate Me without cause. [Joh 15:25]
Psa 35:20 For they speak not peace:
           but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.
Psa 35:21 And they opened their mouth wide against me,
           [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen [it].
Psa 35:22 [This] Thou have seen, LORD: keep not silence:
           Lord, be not far from me.
Psa 35:23 Stir up Thyself, and awake to my judgment,
           to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Psa 35:24 Judge me, LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness;
           and let them not rejoice over me.
Psa 35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, our soul{desire}.
          Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Psa 35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my hurt.
          Let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me.
Psa 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause.
        Let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the welfare of His servant.
Psa 35:28 My tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness [and] of Thy praise all the day long.

Psa 36:1 (To the chief Musician, [Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD).
        The transgression of the wicked said within my heart,
        [that there is] no fear of GOD before his eyes.
Psa 36:2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
         until his iniquity is found to be hateful.
Psa 36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit:
         he has ceased to be wise, [and] to do good.
Psa 36:4 He devises mischief upon his bed;
         he sets himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhors not evil.
Psa 36:5 Thy mercy, LORD, [is] in the Heavens;
         [and] Thy faithfulness [reaches] to the clouds.
Psa 36:6 Thy righteousness [is] like the godly{mightily} mountains;
         Thy Judgments [are] a great Abyss:
         LORD, Thou preserve man and beast.
Psa 36:7 How excellent [is] Thy kindness, GOD!
          Therefore the sons of men put their trust under the shadow of Thy wings.
Psa 36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house;
          and Thou shall make them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
Psa 36:9 For with Thee [is] the Fountain of Life:
          in Thy Light shall we see Light.
Psa 36:10 Continue Thy kindness to them that know Thee;
           and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Psa 36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me,
           and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
Psa 36:12 There are the workers of lawlessness fallen:
          they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

Psa 37:1 ([Psalm] of David).
          [(A)]Fret <not> thyself because of evil-doers,
          neither be Thou envious against the workers of lawlessness.
Psa 37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
          and wither as the green herb.
Psa 37:3  [(B)]<Trust> in the LORD, and do good;
          [so] shall Thou dwell in the land, and truly Thou shall be fed.
Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD;
          and He shall give Thee the desires of Thy heart.
Psa 37:5  [(G)]<Turn> Thy way to the LORD;
          trust also in Him; and He shall bring [it] to pass.
Psa 37:6 And He shall bring forth Thy righteousness as the light,
          and Thy judgment as the noon.
Psa 37:7  [(D)]<Rest> in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him:
          fret not thyself because of him who prospers in His way,
           because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
Psa 37:8  [(E)]<Cease> from anger, and forsake wrath:
          fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Psa 37:9 For evil-doers shall be cut off:
          but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the Earth.
Psa 37:10 [(V)]For <yet> a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]:
          and Thou shall diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].
Psa 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the Earth;
          and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psa 37:12 [(Z)]The wicked <plots> against the just,
          and gnashes upon him with his teeth.
Psa 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him:
           for He sees that his day is coming.
Psa 37:14 [(H)]<The sword> of the wicked have drawn out, and have bent their bow,
           to cast down the poor and needy,
           to slay such as are of upright deportment.
Psa 37:15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
           and their bows shall be broken.
Psa 37:16 [(Th)]<Better> [is] a little that a righteous man has,
           than the riches of many wicked.
Psa 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:
           but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Psa 37:18 [(J)]The LORD <knows> the days of the upright:
           and their inheritance shall be forever.
Psa 37:19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil:
           and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Psa 37:20 [(K)]<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.
Psa 37:21 [(L)]The wicked <borrows>, and pays not again:
           but the righteous shows mercy, and gives.
Psa 37:22 For [such as are] blessed by him shall inherit the Earth;
           and [they that are] cursed by him shall be cut off.
Psa 37:23 [(M)]<By the LORD> are the steps of a man ordered,
           and He delights in his way.
Psa 37:24 Though he should fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
           for the LORD upholds him [with] His hand.
Psa 37:25 [(N)]<I have been Young> and [now am] old;
           yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
           nor his seed begging bread.
Psa 37:26 All the day [he is] merciful, and lends;
           and his seed [is] blessed.
Psa 37:27 [(X)]<Depart> from evil, and do good;
           and dwell forever.
Psa 37:28 For the LORD loves judgment,
           and forsakes not His Saints;
           they are preserved forever:
           but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psa 37:29 [(O)]The <righteous> shall inherit the Earth,
           dwell in it forever.
Psa 37:30 [(P)]The <mouth> of the righteous speaks wisdom,
           and his tongue talks of judgment.
Psa 37:31 The Law of his God [is] in his heart;
           none of his steps shall slide.
Psa 37:32 [(C)]The wicked <watches> the righteous,
           and seeks to slay him.
Psa 37:33 The LORD shall not leave him in his hand,
           nor condemn him when he is judged.
Psa 37:34 [(Q)]<Wait> on the LORD, and keep His way,
           and He shall exalt Thee to inherit the Earth:
           when the wicked are cut off, Thou shall see [it].
Psa 37:35 [(R)]<I have seen> the wicked in great power,
           and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
Psa 37:36 Yet He passed away, and behold, He [was] not:
           yes, I sought him, but He could not be found.
Psa 37:37 [(S)]<Mark> the perfect [man], and behold the upright:
           for the end of [that] man [is] peace.
Psa 37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together:
           the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psa 37:39 [(T)]<But the Salvation> of the righteous [is] of the LORD:
           [He is] their Strength in the time of trouble.
Psa 37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them:
           He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them,
           because they trust in Him.

Psa 38:1 (Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance).
        LORD, rebuke me not in Thy wrath:
         neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
Psa 38:2 For Thy arrows stick fast in me,
          and Thy hand falls heavy upon me.
Psa 38:3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of Thy anger;
          neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.
Psa 38:4 For my iniquities have gone over my head:
          as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
Psa 38:5 My wounds stink, [and] are corrupt,
          because of my foolishness.
Psa 38:6 I [am] troubled; I [am] bowed down greatly;
         I go mourning all the day long.
Psa 38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease]:
          and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.
Psa 38:8 I [am] feeble and grievously broken:
         I have roared by reason of the restlessness of my heart.
Psa 38:9 Lord, all my desire [is] before Thee;
          and my groaning is not hid from Thee.
Psa 38:10 My heart pants, my strength fails me:
           as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me.
Psa 38:11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
           and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Psa 38:12 They also that seek after my soul lay snares [for me]:
           and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
           and imagine deceits all the day long.
Psa 38:13 But I, as a deaf [man], heard not;
           and [I was] as a dumb man [that] opens not his mouth.
Psa 38:14 Thus I was as a man that hears not,
           and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.
Psa 38:15 For in Thee, LORD, do I hope:
           Thou shall reply, LORD my God.
Psa 38:16 For I said, lest they should rejoice over me:
           when my foot slips, they magnify [themselves] against me.
Psa 38:17 For I [am] ready to limp,
           and My sorrow [is] continually before me.
Psa 38:18 For I shall declare My iniquity;
           I shall be sorry for My sin.
Psa 38:19 But my enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong:
           and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
Psa 38:20 They also that render evil for good are my adversaries;
           because I follow [the thing that is] good.
Psa 38:21 Forsake me not, LORD:
           my God, be not far from me.
Psa 38:22 Make haste to help me,
           Lord my Salvation.
Psa 39:1 (To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, Psalm of David).
         I said, I shall take heed to my ways,
          that I sin not with my tongue:
         I shall keep my mouth with a bridle,
          while the wicked is before me.
Psa 39:2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, from good;
          and my sorrow was stirred.
Psa 39:3 My heart was hot within me,
          while I was musing the fire burned:
          [then] I spoke with my tongue.
Psa 39:4 LORD, make me to know my end,
          and the measure of my days,
          what it [is]; [that] I may know how frail I [am].
Psa 39:5 Behold, Thou have made my days [as] a handbreadth;
          and my age [is] as nothing before Thee:
          truly every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. (Selah).
Psa 39:6 Surely, every man walks in a vain show.
         Surely, they are disquieted in vain:
          he heaps up [riches], and knows not who shall gather them.
Psa 39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?
          My hope [is] in Thee.
Psa 39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:
          make me not the reproach of the foolish.
Psa 39:9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth;
          because Thou did [it].
Psa 39:10 Remove Thy stroke away from me;
         I [am] consumed by the blow of Thy hand.
Psa 39:11 When Thou with rebukes do correct man for iniquity,
           Thou make his beauty to consume away like a moth.
          Surely, every man [is] vanity. (Selah).
Psa 39:12 Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry;
           hold not Thy peace at my tears:
           for I [am] a stranger with Thee,
           [and] a sojourner, as all my fathers [were].
Psa 39:13 Spare me, that I may recover strength,
           before I go hence, and be no more.
Psa 40:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
        I waited patiently for the LORD;
         and He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
Psa 40:2 And He brought me up from a roaring pit,
          out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.
Psa 40:3 And He has put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God:
          many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Psa 40:4 Blessed [is] that man that makes the LORD his trust,
          and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies!
Psa 40:5 Many, LORD, my God, [are] Thy wonders [which] Thou have done,
          and Thy thoughts [which are] towards us, they cannot be counted up in order to Thee:
          [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.
Psa 40:6 Sacrifice and offering Thou would not, but a body have Thou prepared Me;
          in burnt-offerings and [sacrifices] for sin Thou have had no pleasure. [Heb 10:5-6]
Psa 40:7 Then I said, Behold, I come,
          (in the roll of the Book it has been written concerning Me), [Heb 10:7]
Psa 40:8 to do Thy will, God. I delight,
          Thy Law [is] within my bowels. [Heb 10:7]
Psa 40:9  I have preached righteousness in the great Congregation: behold,
          I have not refrained my lips, LORD, Thou know.
Psa 40:10 I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart;
          I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy Salvation:
          I have not concealed Thy kindness and Thy truth from the great Congregation.
Psa 40:11 Withhold not Thou Thy tender mercies from me, LORD:
           let Thy kindness and Thy truth continually preserve me.
Psa 40:12 For innumerable evil things have surrounded me:
           my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I [am] not able to look up;
           they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.
Psa 40:13
           Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me:
           LORD, make haste to help me.
Psa 40:14 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.
Psa 40:15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
Psa 40:16 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee.
          Let such as love Thy Salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
Psa 40:17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinks upon me:
          Thou [are] my Help and my Deliverer; make no delay, my God.

Psa 41:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
         Blessed [is] he who considers the poor.
         The LORD shall deliver him in the time of trouble!
Psa 41:2 The LORD shall preserve him, and keep him alive;
          [and] he shall be blessed upon the Earth:
           and Thou shall not deliver him to the [will of the] soul of his enemies.
Psa 41:3 The LORD shall strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
          Thou shall make all his bed in his sickness.
Psa 41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me:
          heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.
Psa 41:5 My enemies speak evil of me,
          When shall he die, and his name perish?
Psa 41:6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity:
          his heart gathers iniquity to itself; [when] he goes abroad, he tells [it].
Psa 41:7 All that hate me whisper together against me:
          against me do they devise my hurt.
Psa 41:8 A worthless thing, [say they], cleaves fast to him:
          and [now] that he lies he shall rise no more.
Psa 41:9 Even my own man of peace in whom I trusted,
          [he] that eating bread with Me, has lifted up [his] heel against Me. [Joh 13:18]
Psa 41:10 But Thou, LORD, be merciful to me,
           and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Psa 41:11 By this I know that Thou favour me,
           because my enemy does not triumph over me.
Psa 41:12 And as for me, Thou uphold me in my integrity,
           and sets me before Thy face forever.
Psa 41:13 Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel,
           from everlasting to everlasting! Amen, and Amen!

Psa 42:1 {Part 2}.
         (To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah).
        As the hart pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after Thee, GOD.
Psa 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the Living GOD:
          when shall I come and appear before GOD?
Psa 42:3 My tears have been my food day and night,
          while they continually say to me, Where [is] Thy God?
Psa 42:4 When I remember these [things],
          I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the throng,
          I went with them to the House of GOD, with the voice of joy and praise, that kept Holy day with a multitude.
Psa 42:5 Why are Thou cast down, my soul? And why are Thou disquieted within me?
          Hope Thou in GOD: for I shall yet Praise Him [for] the Salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Psa 42:6
          My soul is cast down within me:
          therefore I shall remember Thee from the land of the Jordan,
           and of the Hermonites, from the Mount Mizar.
Psa 42:7 Abyss calls to Abyss at the noise of Thy water-spouts:
          all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me.
Psa 42:8 [Yet] the LORD shall command His kindness in the day-time,
           and in the night His song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer to the God of my life.
Psa 42:9 I shall say to God my Rock, Why have Thou forgotten me?
          Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Psa 42:10 [As] with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me;
           while they say daily to me, Where [is] Thy God?
Psa 42:11 Why are Thou cast down, my soul? And why are Thou disquieted within me?
           Hope Thou in GOD: for I shall yet Praise Him [for] the Salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Psa 43:1
         Judge me, GOD, and plead my cause against an unholy nation:
          deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Psa 43:2 For Thou [are] the God of my strength: why do Thou cast me off?
          Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Psa 43:3 Send out Thy light and Thy truth: let them lead me;
          let them bring me to Thy Holy Mount, and to Thy Tabernacles.
Psa 43:4 Then shall I go to the Altar of GOD, to God, my exceeding joy:
          yes, upon the harp shall I praise Thee, GOD my God.
Psa 43:5 Why are Thou cast down, my soul? And why are Thou disquieted within me?
          Hope Thou in GOD: for I shall yet Praise Him [for] the Salvation of my countenance, and my God.

Psa 44:1 (To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil).
         We have heard with our ears, GOD, our fathers have told us,
         [what] work Thou did in their days, in the times of old.
Psa 44:2 [How] Thou did drive out the heathen with Thy hand, and did plant them.
         [How] Thou did afflict the peoples, and cast them out.
Psa 44:3 For they obtained not the land in possession by their own sword,
          neither did their own arm save them:
          but Thy right hand, and Thy arm, and the light of Thy countenance,
          because Thou had a favour to them.
Psa 44:4 Thou are my King, GOD: command deliverances for Jacob.
Psa 44:5 Through Thee shall we push down our enemies.
         Through Thy name we shall tread them under that rise up against us.
Psa 44:6 For I shall not trust in my bow,
          neither shall my sword save me.
Psa 44:7 But Thou have saved us from our enemies,
          and have put them to shame that hated us.
Psa 44:8 In GOD we boast all the day long,
          and praise Thy name forever. (Selah).

Psa 44:9 But Thou have cast off, and put us to shame;
          and go not forth with our armies.
Psa 44:10 Thou make us to turn back from the enemy:
           and they who hate us plunder for themselves.
Psa 44:11 Thou have given us like sheep [appointed] for food;
           and have scattered us among the heathen.
Psa 44:12 Thou sell Thy people for naught,
           and do not increase Thy [wealth] by their price.
Psa 44:13 Thou make us a reproach to our neighbours,
           a scorn and a derision to them that are around us.
Psa 44:14 Thou make us a by-word among the heathen,
           a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Psa 44:15 My confusion [is] continually before me,
           and the shame of my face has covered me,
Psa 44:16 for the voice of him that reproaches and blasphemes;
           by reason of the enemy and avenger.
Psa 44:17 All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten Thee,
           neither have we dealt falsely in Thy Covenant.
Psa 44:18 Our heart is not turned back,
           neither have our steps declined from Thy way;
Psa 44:19 though Thou have severely broke us in the place of monsters,
           and covered us with the shades of death.
Psa 44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,
           or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
Psa 44:21 shall not GOD search out this?
          For He knows the secrets of the heart.
Psa 44:22 For Thy sake we are killed all the day long;
           we were counted as sheep for the slaughter. [Rom 8:36]
Psa 44:23 Awake, why sleep Thou, Lord?
          Arise, cast [us] not off forever.
Psa 44:24 Why hide Thou Thy face,
         [and] forget our affliction and our oppression?
Psa 44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust:
           our belly cleaves to the Earth.
Psa 44:26 Arise for our help,
           and redeem us for Thy mercy' sake.

Psa 45:1 (To the chief Musician on Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, Song of loves).
         My heart is overflowing [with] good matter:
         I saying of the things which I have made concerning the King:
         my tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer.
Psa 45:2 Thou are [the] most beautiful of the sons of men:
          grace is poured into Thy lips: therefore GOD has blessed Thee forever.
Psa 45:3
          Gird Thy sword upon [Thy] thigh, Mighty, with Thy glory and Thy majesty.
Psa 45:4 And in Thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness;
          and Thy right hand shall teach Thee awesome things.
Psa 45:5 Thy arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; [by which] the people fall under Thee.
Psa 45:6 Thy throne, GOD, [is] forever and ever:
          a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of Thy Kingdom. [Heb 1:8]
Psa 45:7 Thou loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness;
          therefore GOD Thy God, has anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. [Heb 1:9]
Psa 45:8 All Thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia,
          out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made Thee glad.
Psa 45:9
          Kings' daughters [were] among Thy honourable women:
           upon Thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir.
Psa 45:10 Listen, daughter, and consider, and incline Thy ear;
           forget also Thy own people, and Thy father's house;
Psa 45:11 so shall the King greatly desire Thy beauty:
           for He [is] Thy lord; and worship Thou Him.
Psa 45:12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;
           the rich among the people shall entreat Thy favour.
Psa 45:13
          The king's daughter [is] all glorious within:
           her clothing [is] of wrought gold.
Psa 45:14 She shall be brought to the King in clothing of needle-work:
          the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought to Thee.
Psa 45:15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought:
           they shall enter into the king's palace.
Psa 45:16
          Instead of Thy fathers shall be Thy sons,
            whom Thou may make princes in all the Earth.
Psa 45:17 I shall make Thy name to be remembered in all generations:
           therefore shall the people praise Thee forever and ever.

Psa 46:1 (To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth).
         GOD [is] our Refuge and Strength,
          a very present Help in trouble.
Psa 46:2 Therefore shall we not fear, though the Earth shall be removed,
         and though the mountains shall be carried into the heart of the seas;
Psa 46:3 [though] its waters shall roar [and] be disturbed,
         [though] the mountains shake with the swelling of it. (Selah).

Psa 46:4 The stream of the river of which shall make glad the city of GOD,
         the Holy [place] of the Tabernacles of the Most High.
Psa 46:5 GOD [is] in the middle of her; she shall not be moved:
         GOD shall help her, [and that] right early.
Psa 46:6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:
         He uttered His voice, the Earth melted.
Psa 46:7 The LORD of Sabaoth [is] with us;
         the God of Jacob [is] our High Tower{Defence}. (Selah).

Psa 46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
          what desolations He has made in the Earth.
Psa 46:9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the Earth;
         He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear asunder;
         He burns the chariot in the fire.
Psa 46:10 Be still, and know that I [AM] GOD:
          I shall be exalted among the heathen, I shall be exalted in the Earth.
Psa 46:11 The LORD of Sabaoth [is] with us;
          the God of Jacob [is] our High Tower{Defence}. (Selah).

Psa 47:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm for the sons of Korah).
         Clap your hands, all [ye] peoples;
         shout to GOD with the voice of triumph.
Psa 47:2 For the LORD Most High [is] awesome;
        [He is] a Great King above all the Earth.
Psa 47:3 He shall subdue the people under us,
          and the nations under our feet.
Psa 47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us,
          the excellence of Jacob whom He loved. (Selah).

Psa 47:5 GOD is gone up with a shout,
          the LORD with the voice of a shofar. [Rev 1:10]
Psa 47:6 Sing-psalms to GOD, sing-psalms.
         Sing-psalms to our King, sing-psalms.
Psa 47:7 For GOD [is] the King of all the Earth.
         Sing-psalms ye with understanding.
Psa 47:8 GOD reigns over the nations:
         GOD sits upon the throne of His Holiness.
Psa 47:9 The princes of the people are assembled,
          the people of the God of Abraham:
          for the shields of the Earth [belong] to GOD:
          He is greatly exalted.

Psa 48:1 (Psalm [and] Song for the sons of Korah).
          Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
           in the city of our God, [in] the Holy Mount.
Psa 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of all the Earth,
          [is] Mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the Great King.
Psa 48:3 GOD in her palaces has made Himself known for a High Tower{Defence}.
Psa 48:4 For behold, the kings were assembled,
         they passed by together;
Psa 48:5 they saw [it], [and] so they wondered;
         they were troubled, [and] hasted away.
Psa 48:6 Fear took hold upon them there,
         [and] pain, as of a woman in travail.
Psa 48:7 Thou break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
Psa 48:8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of Sabaoth,
          in the city of our God: GOD shall establish it forever. (Selah).

Psa 48:9 We have thought of Thy kindness,
         GOD, in the middle of Thy Temple.
Psa 48:10 According to Thy name, GOD,
          so [is] Thy praise to the ends of the Earth:
          Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Psa 48:11 Let Mount Zion rejoice,
          let the daughters of Judah be glad,
           because of Thy Judgments.
Psa 48:12 Walk about Zion, and go around her: number her towers.
Psa 48:13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces;
          that ye may tell [it] to the generation following.
Psa 48:14 For this GOD [is] our God forever and ever:
          He shall be our guide to death.

Psa 49:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm for the sons of Korah).
        Hear this, all the peoples;
         give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the World:
Psa 49:2 both common people and mighty men,
         together rich and poor.
Psa 49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom;
          and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding.
Psa 49:4 I shall incline my ear to a parable:
         I shall open with a harp my riddle.
Psa 49:5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,
         [when] the iniquity of my heels shall surround me?
Psa 49:6 They that trust in their wealth,
          and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
Psa 49:7 a brother cannot at all redeem a man,
          nor give to GOD a ransom for him:
Psa 49:8 (for the redemption of their soul [is] precious,
          and it ceases forever):
Psa 49:9 that he should still live forever,
          [and] not see corruption.
Psa 49:10 For he sees [that] wise men die,
           likewise the fool and the brutish person perish,
           and leave their wealth to others.
Psa 49:11 Their inward thought [is], [that] their houses [shall continue] forever,
          [and] their dwelling-places from generation to generation;
          they call [their] lands after their own names.
Psa 49:12 And man [being] in honour stays not:
           he is like the beasts [that] perish.
Psa 49:13 This their way [is] their folly:
          yet their posterity approve their sayings. (Selah).

Psa 49:14 Like sheep they are laid in Sheol;
           death shall feed on them;
           and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
           and their beauty shall consume in Sheol from their dwelling.
Psa 49:15 But GOD shall redeem my soul from the power of Sheol:
           for He shall receive me. (Selah).

Psa 49:16 Be not Thou afraid when one is made rich,
           when the glory of his house is increased;
Psa 49:17 for when he dies he shall carry nothing away:
           his glory shall not descend after him.
Psa 49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul:
           and [men] shall praise Thee, when Thou do well to thyself.
Psa 49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
           they shall never see light.
Psa 49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and understands not,
           is like the beasts [that] perish.

Psa 50:1 (Psalm of Asaph).
         The mighty GOD, the LORD, has spoken,
         and called the Earth from the rising to the setting of the sun.
Psa 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, GOD has shined.
Psa 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence:
          a fire shall devour before Him,
          and it shall be very tempestuous around Him.
Psa 50:4 He shall call to the Heavens from above,
          and to the Earth, that He may judge His people.
Psa 50:5 Gather My Saints together to Me;
          those that have made a Covenant with Me by sacrifice.
Psa 50:6 And the Heavens shall declare His righteousness:
          for GOD [is] judge Himself. (Selah).

Psa 50:7 Hear, My people, and I shall speak;
         Israel, and I shall testify against Thee:
          I [AM] GOD, Thy God.
Psa 50:8 I shall not reprove Thee for Thy sacrifices or Thy burnt-offerings,
          [to have been] continually before me.
Psa 50:9 I shall take no bull out of Thy house,
          [nor] he-goats out of Thy folds.
Psa 50:10 For every animal of the forest [is] Mine,
           [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills.
Psa 50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains:
            and the wild beasts of the field [are] Mine.
Psa 50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell Thee:
           for the World [is] Mine, and its fullness.
Psa 50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
           or drink the blood of goats?
Psa 50:14 Offer to GOD thanksgiving;
           and pay Thy vows to the Most High:
Psa 50:15 and call upon me in the day of trouble:
          I shall deliver Thee, and Thou shall glorify Me.
Psa 50:16 But to the wicked said GOD,
           What have Thou to declare My Statutes,
           or [that] Thou should take My Covenant in Thy mouth?
Psa 50:17 Seeing Thou hate instruction,
           and cast My words behind Thee.
Psa 50:18 When Thou saw a thief, then Thou consented with him,
           and have been partaker with adulterers.
Psa 50:19 Thou give Thy mouth to evil,
           and Thy tongue frames deceit.
Psa 50:20 Thou sit [and] speak against Thy brother;
          Thou slander Thy own mother's son.
Psa 50:21 These [things] have Thou done, and I kept silence;
          Thou thought that I was altogether [such one] as thyself:
          [but] I shall reprove Thee, and set [them] in order before Thy eyes.
Psa 50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God,
           lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.
Psa 50:23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me:
           and to him that orders [his] deportment [aright];
           shall I show the Salvation of GOD.

Psa 51:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David,
           when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba).
         Have mercy upon me, GOD,
          according to Thy kindness:
          according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies,
          blot out my transgressions.
Psa 51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
          and cleanse me from my sin.
Psa 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:
          and my sin [is] ever before me.
Psa 51:4 Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned,
          and done [this] evil in Thy eyes:
          that Thou may be justified in Thy sayings,
          and may overcome when Thee are judged. [Rom 3:4]
Psa 51:5 Behold, I was shaped in iniquity;
          and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Psa 51:6 Behold, Thou desire truth in the inward parts:
          and in the hidden [part] Thou shall make me to know wisdom.
Psa 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
          wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psa 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;
          [that] the bones [which] Thou have broken may rejoice.
Psa 51:9 Hide Thy face from my sins,
          and blot out all my iniquities.
Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, GOD;
           and renew a right spirit within me.
Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from Thy presence;
           and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Psa 51:12 Restore to me the joy of Thy Salvation;
           and uphold me [with Thy] free spirit.
Psa 51:13 I shall teach transgressors Thy ways;
            and sinners shall be converted to Thee.
Psa 51:14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, GOD, Thou God of my Salvation:
           [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
Psa 51:15 Lord, open Thou my lips;
           and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.
Psa 51:16 For Thou desire not sacrifice:
           else would I give [it]: Thou delight not in burnt-offering.
Psa 51:17 The sacrifices of GOD [are] a broken spirit:
           a broken and a contrite heart, GOD, Thou shall not despise.
Psa 51:18 Do good in Thy good pleasure to Zion:
           build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Psa 51:19 Then shall Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
           with burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: then shall they offer bulls upon Thy Altar.

Psa 52:1 (To the chief Musician, Maschil, [Psalm] of David,
           when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul,
           and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech).
         Why boast Thou thyself in mischief, mighty man?
         The goodness of God [endures] continually.
Psa 52:2 Thy tongue devises destructions;
          like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Psa 52:3 Thou love evil more than good;
          [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah).

Psa 52:4 Thou love all devouring words,
         [Thou] deceitful tongue.
Psa 52:5 God shall likewise destroy Thee forever,
          He shall take Thee away, and pluck Thee out of [Thy] tent,
          and root Thee out of the land of the living. (Selah).

Psa 52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him.
Psa 52:7 Behold, [this is] the man [that] made not GOD his Strength;
          but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
          [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.
Psa 52:8 But I [am] like a green olive-tree in the House of GOD:
         I trust in the mercy of GOD forever and ever.
Psa 52:9 I shall praise Thee forever, because Thou have done [it]:
          and I shall wait on Thy name; for [it is] good before Thy Saints.

Psa 53:1 (To the chief Musician on Mahalath, Maschil, [Psalm] of David).
        The fool has said in his heart, [There is] no GOD.
        They are corrupt, they have done abominable iniquity:
        [there is] none that doing good.
Psa 53:2 GOD looked down from Heaven upon the sons of men,
        to see if there were [any] of understanding, seeking after GOD.
Psa 53:3 They all turned aside, they are together became unprofitable:
        there is none that doing good, no, not one. [Rom 3:12]
Psa 53:4 Have the workers of lawlessness no knowledge?
        Who eat up My people [as] they eat bread!
        They call not upon GOD.
Psa 53:5 There they were in great fear, [where] no fear was:
        for GOD has scattered the bones of him that encamps [against] Thee:
        Thou have put [them] to shame, because GOD has despised them.
Psa 53:6 That the Salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!
        When GOD brings back the captivity of His people,
        Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
Psa 54:1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [Psalm] of David,
        when the Ziphim{Ziphites} came and said to Saul,
        does not David hide himself with us)?
        Save me, GOD, by Thy name,
        and judge me by Thy strength.
Psa 54:2 GOD, Hear my prayer;
         give ear to the words of my mouth.
Psa 54:3 For strangers have risen up against me,
         and oppressors seek after my soul:
         they have not set GOD before them. (Selah).

Psa 54:4 Behold, GOD [is] my Helper:
         the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul.
Psa 54:5 He shall reward evil to my enemies;
         cut them off in Thy truth.
Psa 54:6 I will freely sacrifice to Thee:
         I shall praise Thy name, LORD; for [it is] good.
Psa 54:7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble:
         and my eye has seen [its desire] upon my enemies.

Psa 55:1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [Psalm] of David).
         Give ear to my prayer, GOD;
         and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
Psa 55:2 Attend to me, and reply me:
         I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
Psa 55:3 because of the voice of the enemy,
         because of the oppression of the wicked:
         for they cast iniquity upon me,
         and in wrath they hate me.
Psa 55:4 My heart is severely pained within me:
         and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Psa 55:5 Fear and trembling have come upon me,
         and horror has overwhelmed me.
Psa 55:6 And I said, that I had wings like a dove!
         [For then] I would fly away, and be at rest.
Psa 55:7 Behold, [then] I would wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. (Selah).

Psa 55:8  I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest.
Psa 55:9  Destroy, Lord, [and] divide their tongues:
          for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Psa 55:10 Day and night they go about it upon its walls:
           mischief also and sorrow [are] in the middle of it.
Psa 55:11 Wickedness [is] in the middle of it:
          deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
Psa 55:12 For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me;
          then I could have borne [it]:
          neither [was it] He who hated me [that] magnified [himself] against me;
          then I would have hid myself from him:
Psa 55:13 but [it was] Thou, a man my equal,
          my guide, and my acquaintance.
Psa 55:14 We took sweet counsel together,
          [and] walked to the House of GOD in company.
Psa 55:15 Let death seize upon them,
          [and] let them go down alive into Sheol:
          for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them.
Psa 55:16 As for me, I shall call upon GOD:
           and the LORD shall save me.
Psa 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, shall I pray, and cry aloud:
          and He shall hear my voice.
Psa 55:18 He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me:
          for there were many with me.
Psa 55:19 God shall hear and afflict them, even he who stays of old. (Selah).
          Because they have no changes,
          therefore they fear not GOD.
Psa 55:20 He has put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him:
          he has broken his Covenant.
Psa 55:21 [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.
Psa 55:22 Cast Thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain Thee:
           He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psa 55:23 But Thou, GOD, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction:
           bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;
           but I shall trust in Thee.

Psa 56:1 (To the chief musician. Jonath-elem-rechokim{Concerning the silent dove}, those far off. Michtam of David,
          when the Philistines seized him in Gath).
        Be merciful to me, GOD: for man would swallow me up;
         he fighting daily oppresses me.
Psa 56:2 My enemies would daily swallow me up:
         for [they are] many that fight haughty against me.
Psa 56:3 In the time when I [am] afraid,
         I shall trust in Thee.
Psa 56:4 In GOD I shall praise his word,
         in GOD I have put my trust;
         I shall not fear what flesh can do to me.
Psa 56:5 Every day they wrest my words:
         all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.
Psa 56:6 They assemble themselves, they hide themselves,
          they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
Psa 56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity;
          in [Thy] anger cast down the people, GOD.
Psa 56:8 Thou number my wanderings:
          put Thou my tears into Thy bottle:
          [are they] not in Thy book?
Psa 56:9 When I cry [to Thee], then shall my enemies turn back:
           this I know; for GOD [is] for me.
Psa 56:10 In GOD shall I praise [His] word:
          in the LORD shall I praise [His] word.
Psa 56:11 In GOD have I put my trust:
          I shall not be afraid what man can do to me.
Psa 56:12 Thy vows [are] upon me, GOD:
          I shall render praises to Thee.
Psa 56:13 For Thou have rescued my soul from death:
          [shall Thou] not [deliver] my feet from falling,
           that I may walk before GOD in the light of the living?

Psa 57:1 (To the chief Musician, Al-taschith{do not destroy}, Michtam of David,
          when he fled from Saul in the cave).
        Be merciful to me, GOD, be merciful to me:
        for my soul trusts in Thee:
        yes, in the shadow of Thy wings shall I make my refuge,
        until [these] calamities are be over.
Psa 57:2 I shall cry to GOD Most High;
        to God that performs [all things] for me.
Psa 57:3 He shall send from Heaven, and save me,
         [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah).
        GOD shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
Psa 57:4 My soul [is] among lions:
         [and] I lie [even among] them that are set on fire,
         the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and arrows,
         and their tongue a sharp sword.
Psa 57:5 Be Thou exalted, GOD, above the Heavens:
         [and] Thy glory above all the Earth.
Psa 57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down:
         they have dig a pit before me,
         into the middle of which they have fallen [themselves]. (Selah).

Psa 57:7 My heart is fixed, GOD. My heart is fixed:
         I shall sing and sing-psalms.
Psa 57:8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp:
         I [myself] shall awake early.
Psa 57:9 I shall praise Thee, Lord, among the people:
         I shall sing-psalms to Thee among the nations.
Psa 57:10 For Thy mercy [is] great to the Heavens,
          and Thy truth to the clouds.
Psa 57:11 Be Thou exalted, GOD, above the Heavens:
         [and] Thy glory above all the Earth.

Psa 58:1 (To the chief Musician, Al-taschith{do not destroy}, Michtam of David).
        Do ye indeed speak righteousness, Congregation?
        Do ye judge uprightly, ye sons of men?
Psa 58:2 Yes, in heart ye work wickedness;
         ye weigh the violence of your hands in the Earth.
Psa 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb:
         they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Psa 58:4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent:
        [they are] like the deaf asp [that] stops her ear;
Psa 58:5 which shall not listen to the voice of charmers,
         charming never so wisely.
Psa 58:6 Break their teeth, GOD, in their mouth:
         break out the fangs of the young lions, LORD.
Psa 58:7 Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually:
        [when] he bends [his bow to shoot] his arrows,
         let them be as cut in pieces.
Psa 58:8 As a snail [which] melts, let [every one of them] pass away:
        [like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not see the sun.
Psa 58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,
           He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [His] wrath.
Psa 58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance:
          he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Psa 58:11 So that a man shall say, Truly [there is] a reward for the righteous:
          truly He is a GOD that judges in the Earth.

Psa 59:1 (To the chief Musician, Al-taschith{do not destroy}, Michtam of David;
          when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him).
         Deliver me from my enemies, my God:
          defend me from them that rise up against me.
Psa 59:2 Deliver me from the workers of lawlessness,
          and save me from bloody men.
Psa 59:3 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul:
         the mighty are gathered against me;
          not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, LORD.
Psa 59:4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault:
          awake to meet me, and behold.
Psa 59:5 Thou therefore, LORD, GOD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel,
          awake to visit all the heathen:
          be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah).

Psa 59:6 They return at evening:
          they make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
Psa 59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth:
         swords [are] in their lips:
          for who, [say they], does hear?
Psa 59:8 But Thou, LORD, shall laugh at them;
         Thou shall have all the heathen in derision.
Psa 59:9 His strength shall I wait upon Thee:
          for GOD [is] my High Tower{Defence}.
Psa 59:10 The God of my mercy shall meet me:
          GOD shall let me see my [desire] upon my enemies.
Psa 59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:
          scatter them by Thy power; and bring them down, Lord our Shield.
Psa 59:12 [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.
Psa 59:13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be]:
          and let them know that GOD rules in Jacob to the ends of the Earth. (Selah).

Psa 59:14 They return at evening:
           they make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
Psa 59:15 Let them wander up and down for food,
           and grudge if they are not satisfied.
Psa 59:16 But I shall sing of Thy power;
          yes, I shall sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning:
          for Thou have been my High Tower{Defence} and Refuge in the day of my trouble.
Psa 59:17 To Thee, my Strength, shall I sing-psalms:
          for GOD [is] my High Tower{Defence}, [and] the God of my mercy.

Psa 60:1 (To the chief Musician on Shushan-eduth{Lily of Testimony}, Michtam of David,
        to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah,
          when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand).
        GOD, Thou have cast us off, Thou have scattered us,
         Thou have been displeased; turn back to us.
Psa 60:2 Thou have made the Earth to tremble;
         Thou have broken it: heal its breaches; for it shakes.
Psa 60:3 Thou have shown Thy people hard things:
         Thou have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
Psa 60:4 Thou have given a banner to them that fear Thee,
          that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah).

Psa 60:5 That Thy beloved may be rescued;
         save [with] Thy right hand, and answer me.
Psa 60:6 GOD has spoken in His Holiness;
         I shall rejoice, I shall divide Shechem,
          and measure out the valley of Succoth.
Psa 60:7 Gilead [is] Mine, and Manasseh [is] Mine;
         Ephraim also [is] the strength of my head;
         Judah [is] my lawgiver;
Psa 60:8 Moab [is] My wash pot;
         over Edom shall I cast out My shoe;
         over Philistia shall I triumph.
Psa 60:9 Who shall bring me into the strong city?
         Who shall lead me into Edom?
Psa 60:10 [Will] Thou not, GOD, [who] had cast us off?
          And [Thou], GOD, [who] did not go out with our armies?
Psa 60:11 Give us help from trouble:
          for vain [is] the help of man.
Psa 60:12 Through GOD we shall do valiantly:
          for He shall tread down our enemies.

Psa 61:1 (To the chief Musician on Neginah, [Psalm] of David).
        Hear my cry, GOD; attend to my prayer.
Psa 61:2 From the end of the Earth shall I cry to Thee,
          when my heart is overwhelmed:
         lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.
Psa 61:3 For Thou have been a shelter for me,
         [and] a strong tower from the enemy.
Psa 61:4 I shall abide in Thy Tabernacle forever:
         I shall trust in the covert of Thy wings. (Selah).

Psa 61:5 For Thou, GOD, have heard my vows:
         Thou have given me the heritage of those that fear Thy name.
Psa 61:6 Thou shall prolong the king's life: [and] his years as many generations.
Psa 61:7 He shall abide before GOD forever:
          prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.
Psa 61:8 So shall I sing-psalms to Thy name forever,
          that I may perform my vows day by day.

Psa 62:1 (To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, Psalm of David).
        Truly my soul waits upon GOD:
         from Him [comes] my Salvation.
Psa 62:2 He only [is] my Rock and my Salvation;
        [He is] my High Tower{Defence};
         I shall not be moved greatly.
Psa 62:3 Until when shall ye imagine mischief against a man?
         Ye shall be slain all of you:
         as a bowing wall [shall ye be], [and as] a tottering fence.
Psa 62:4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellence:
         they delight in lies:
         they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah).

Psa 62:5 My soul, wait Thou only upon GOD;
         for my expectation [is] from Him.
Psa 62:6 He only [is] my Rock and my Salvation;
         [He is] my High Tower{Defence};
         I shall not be moved.
Psa 62:7 In GOD [is] my Salvation and my glory:
         the Rock of my strength, [and] my Refuge, [is] in GOD.
Psa 62:8 Trust in Him at all times; people,
          pour out your heart before Him: GOD [is] a refuge for us. (Selah).

Psa 62:9 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.
Psa 62:10 Trust not in oppression,
           and become not vain in robbery:
          if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].
Psa 62:11 GOD has spoken once;
          twice have I heard this;
          that power [belongs] to GOD.
Psa 62:12 Also to Thee, Lord, [belongs] mercy:
          for Thou shall reward every man according to his works. [Mat 16:27]

Psa 63:1 (Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah).
        GOD, Thou [are] my God; early shall I seek Thee.
         My soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh longs for Thee,
         in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Psa 63:2 To see Thy power and Thy glory,
         so [as] I have seen Thee in the Sanctuary;
Psa 63:3 because Thy kindness [is] better than life,
          my lips shall praise Thee.
Psa 63:4 Thus shall I bless Thee while I live:
         I shall lift up my hands in Thy name.
Psa 63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness;
         and my mouth shall praise [Thee] with joyful lips:
Psa 63:6 when I remember Thee upon my couch,
         [and] meditate on Thee in the [night] watches;
Psa 63:7 because Thou have been my help,
          therefore in the shadow of Thy wings shall I rejoice.
Psa 63:8 My soul cleaved after Thee:
         Thy right hand upholds me.
Psa 63:9 But those [that] seek my soul to destroy [it],
          shall go into the lower parts of the Earth.
Psa 63:10 They shall fall by the sword:
          they shall be a portion for foxes.
Psa 63:11 But the king shall rejoice in GOD;
          every one that swears by Him shall glory:
          but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psa 64:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
        Hear my voice, GOD, in my prayer:
        preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Psa 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked;
         from the insurrection of the workers of lawlessness:
Psa 64:3 who whet their tongue like a sword,
        [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, bitter words:
Psa 64:4 that they may shoot in secret at the perfect:
          suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
Psa 64:5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter:
         they commune of laying snares secretly;
         they say, Who shall see them?
Psa 64:6 They search out iniquities;
         they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward,
         [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep.
Psa 64:7 But GOD shall shoot at them [with] an arrow;
          suddenly shall they be wounded.
Psa 64:8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
          all that see them shall flee away.
Psa 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of GOD;
          for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
Psa 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD,
          and shall trust in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Psa 65:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David, a song).
        Praise waits for Thee, GOD, in Zion:
         and to Thee shall the vow be performed.
Psa 65:2 Thou that hear prayer,
          to Thee shall all flesh come.
Psa 65:3 Iniquities prevail against me:
         [as for] our transgressions, Thou shall purge them away.
Psa 65:4 Blessed [is the man whom] Thou choose,
         and cause to approach [to Thee, that] he may dwell in Thy courts:
         we shall be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, of Thy Holy Temple!
Psa 65:5 [By] awesome things in righteousness shall Thou answer us, God of our Salvation;
        [who are] the confidence of all the ends of the Earth,
          and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea:
Psa 65:6 who by his strength sets fast the mountains; [being] girded with power:
Psa 65:7 who stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the peoples.
Psa 65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at Thy signs:
          Thou make the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
Psa 65:9  Thou visit the Earth, and water it:
          Thou greatly enrich it with the river of GOD, [which] is full of water:
          Thou prepare them grain, when Thou have so provided for it.
Psa 65:10 Thou water the ridges of it abundantly: Thou settle the furrows of it:
          Thou make it soft with showers: Thou bless the springing of it.
Psa 65:11 Thou crown the year with Thy goodness; and Thy paths drip fatness.
Psa 65:12 They drip [upon] the pastures of the wilderness:
           and the little hills rejoice on every side.
Psa 65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;
          the valleys also are covered over with grain;
          they shout for joy, they also sing.

Psa 66:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm, a song).
         Make a joyful noise to GOD, all the Earth.
Psa 66:2 Sing-psalms the honour of His name:
         make His praise glorious.
Psa 66:3 Say to GOD, How awesome [are Thou in] Thy works!
        Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thy enemies submit themselves to Thee.
Psa 66:4 All the Earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing-psalms to Thee;
         they shall sing-psalms [to] Thy name. (Selah).

Psa 66:5 Come and see the works of GOD:
         [He is] awesome [in His] doing towards the sons of men.
Psa 66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land]:
         they went through the flood on foot: there we rejoiced in Him.
Psa 66:7 He rules by his power forever; His eyes watch the nations:
         let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah).

Psa 66:8 Bless our God, [ye] peoples,
          and make the voice of His praise to be heard:
Psa 66:9 who holds our soul in life,
          and allows not our feet to be moved.
Psa 66:10 For Thou, GOD, have proved us:
          Thou have tried us, as silver is tried.
Psa 66:11 Thou have brought us into the net;
          Thou have laid affliction upon our loins.
Psa 66:12 Thou have caused men to ride over our heads;
          we went through fire and through water:
          but Thou brought us out into an abundance [place].
Psa 66:13 I shall go into Thy house with burnt-offerings:
          I shall pay Thee my vows,
Psa 66:14  which my lips have uttered,
          and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.
Psa 66:15 I shall offer to Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,
           with the incense of rams;
          I shall offer bulls with goats. (Selah).

Psa 66:16 Come [and] hear, all ye that fear GOD,
           and I shall declare what He has done for my soul.
Psa 66:17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
           and He was extolled with my tongue.
Psa 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,
           the Lord shall not hear me:
Psa 66:19 [but] truly GOD has heard me;
            He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Psa 66:20 Blessed [be] God, who has not turned away my prayer,
           nor His mercy from me!

Psa 67:1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Psalm [or] Song).
        GOD be merciful to us, and bless us;
        [and] cause His Face to shine upon us. (Selah).

Psa 67:2 That Thy way may be known upon Earth,
         Thy Salvation among all nations.
Psa 67:3 Let the people praise Thee, God;
         let all the people praise Thee.
Psa 67:4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy:
         for Thou shall judge the people righteously,
          and govern the nations upon Earth. (Selah).

Psa 67:5 Let the people praise Thee, GOD;
         let all the people praise Thee.
Psa 67:6 Earth shall yield her increase;
         [and] GOD, our own God, shall bless us.
Psa 67:7 GOD shall bless us,
          and all the ends of the Earth shall fear Him.

Psa 68:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David, a song).
        Let GOD arise, let His enemies be scattered:
        let them also that hate Him flee before Him.
Psa 68:2 As smoke is driven away,
         [so] drive [them] away:
         as wax melts before the fire,
         [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of GOD.
Psa 68:3 But let the righteous be glad;
         let them rejoice before GOD:
         yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Psa 68:4 Sing to GOD, sing-psalms to His name:
          extol Him that rides upon the deserts by His name JaH,
          and rejoice before Him.
Psa 68:5 A father of the fatherless,
         and a judge of the widows,
           [is] GOD in His Holy Habitation.
Psa 68:6 GOD sets the solitary in families:
          He brings out the prisoners into prosperity:
          but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].
Psa 68:7 GOD, when Thou went forth before Thy people,
          when Thou did march through the wilderness. (Selah).

Psa 68:8 The Earth shook, the Heavens also dropped at the presence of GOD:
         Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of GOD, the God of Israel.
Psa 68:9 Thou, GOD, did send a plentiful rain,
          by which Thou did confirm Thy inheritance, when it was weary.
Psa 68:10 Thy Congregation has dwelt in it:
          Thou, GOD, have prepared of Thy goodness for the poor.
Psa 68:11 The Lord gave the Word:
          great [was] the company of those that published [it].
Psa 68:12 Kings of armies fled apace:
           and she who tarried at home divided the spoil.
Psa 68:13 Though ye have lain among the pots,
           [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver,
           and her feathers with greenish gold.
Psa 68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it,
           it was [white] as snow in Zalmon.
Psa 68:15 The Mount of GOD [is as] the mountain of Bashan;
            a high mountain [as] the mountain of Bashan.
Psa 68:16 Why leap ye, ye lofty mountains?
          [This is] the mountain [which] GOD desires to dwell in;
           yes, the LORD shall dwell [in it] forever.
Psa 68:17 The chariots of GOD [are] myriads: thousands folds:
           the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the Holy [place].
Psa 68:18 Thou have ascended on high,
          Thou have led captivity captive:
          Thou have received gifts for men;
           yes, [for] the rebellious also,
         that JaH GOD might dwell [among them].
Psa 68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, day by day He carries us,
           the God of our Salvation! (Selah).

Psa 68:20 He [that is] our God [is] the God of Salvation;
          and to the Lord JeHoVaH [belong] the outgoings of death.
Psa 68:21 But GOD shall wound the head of His enemies,
          [and] the hairy scalp of such one as goes on still in his trespasses.
Psa 68:22 The Lord said, I shall bring back from Bashan,
           I shall bring back [My people] from the depths of the sea.
Psa 68:23 That Thy foot may be crush in the blood,
           [and] the tongue of Thy dogs may have its portion from [Thy] enemies.
Psa 68:24 They have seen Thy goings, GOD;
          the goings of my God, my King, in the Sanctuary.
Psa 68:25 The singers went before, next are the players on instruments;
            among [them were] the virgins playing with timbrels.
Psa 68:26 Bless ye GOD in the Congregations,
          the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
Psa 68:27 There [is] little Benjamin [with] their ruler,
           the princes of Judah [and] their counsel,
           the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes of Naphtali.
Psa 68:28 Thy God has commanded Thy strength:
          strengthen, GOD, that which Thou have wrought for us;
Psa 68:29 because of Thy Temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to Thee.
Psa 68:30 Rebuke the company of spearmen,
          the assembly of the bulls, with the calves of the people,
           [until every one shall] submit himself with pieces of silver:
          scatter Thou the people [that] delight in war.
Psa 68:31 Princes shall come out of Egypt;
          Cush shall soon stretch out her hands to GOD.
Psa 68:32 Sing to GOD, ye kingdoms of the World;
          sing-psalms [to] the Lord. (Selah).

Psa 68:33 To Him that rides upon the Heavens of Heavens, [which were] of old;
          behold, He does send out His voice, [and that] a mighty voice.
Psa 68:34 Ascribe ye strength to GOD:
           His excellence [is] over Israel,
           and His strength [is] in the clouds.
Psa 68:35 GOD, Thou [are] awesome out of Thy sanctuaries:
          the God of Israel [is] He who gives strength and power to [His] people.
           Blessed [be] GOD!

Psa 69:1 (To the chief Musician on Shoshannim{Lilies}, [Psalm] of David).
        Save me, GOD;
          for the waters are come in to my soul.
Psa 69:2 I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing:
         I [am] come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
Psa 69:3 I [am] weary of my crying: my throat is dried:
          my eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Psa 69:4
        They hated Me without cause are more than the hairs of My head:
        they that would destroy Me, [Joh 15:25]
        [being] my enemies wrongfully, are mighty:
        then I restored [that] which I took not away.
Psa 69:5 GOD, Thou know my foolishness;
         and my sins are not hid from Thee.
Psa 69:6
        Let not them that wait on Thee, Lord JeHoVaH of Sabaoth, be ashamed for My sake.
        Let not those that seek Thee be confounded for My sake, God of Israel.
Psa 69:7
        Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach;
         shame has covered my face.
Psa 69:8 I have been a stranger to my brethren,
          and an alien to my mother's sons.
Psa 69:9 For the zeal of Thy house devoured Me; [Joh 2:17]
        and the reproaches of them that reproached Thee fell on Me. [Rom 15:3]
Psa 69:10 When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
Psa 69:11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
Psa 69:12 They that sit in the gate speak against me;
           and I [was] the song of the shekar-drinkers.
Psa 69:13 But as for me, my prayer [is] to Thee, LORD, [in] an acceptable time:
          GOD, in the multitude of Thy mercy reply me, in the truth of Thy Salvation.
Psa 69:14 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;
Psa 69:15 let not the water-flood overflow me,
          let not the deep swallow me up,
      and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
Psa 69:16 Hear me, LORD; for Thy kindness [is] good:
           turn to me according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies.
Psa 69:17 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant;
           for I [am] in trouble: reply me speedily.
Psa 69:18 Draw near to my soul, [and] redeem it:
           deliver me because of my enemies.
Psa 69:19 Thou have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour:
          my adversaries [are] all before Thee.
Psa 69:20 Reproach has 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.
Psa 69:21 They gave me also gall for My food;
          and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink. [Mat 27:34 Mat 27:48]
Psa 69:22 Let their table be made a snare,
           and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them. [Rom 11:9]
Psa 69:23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,
           and bow down their back always. [Rom 11:10]
Psa 69:24 Pour out Thy indignation upon them,
          and let Thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
Psa 69:25 Let his habitation be desolate,
           and let be none dwelling in it: [Act 1:20]
Psa 69:26 for they persecute him whom Thou have smitten;
           and they talk to the grief of those whom Thou have wounded.
Psa 69:27 Add iniquity to their iniquity:
           and let them not come into Thy righteousness.
Psa 69:28 Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life,
           and not be written with the righteous.
Psa 69:29
          But I [am] poor and sorrowful:
          let Thy Salvation, GOD, set me up on high.
Psa 69:30 I shall praise the name of GOD with a song,
           and shall magnify Him with thanksgiving.
Psa 69:31 [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox,
          [or] bull that has horns and hoofs.
Psa 69:32
        The humble shall see [this], [and] be glad:
          and your heart shall live that seek GOD.
Psa 69:33 For the LORD hears the poor, and despises not His prisoners.
Psa 69:34 Let the Heavens and Earth Praise Him, the seas, and everything that moves in it.
Psa 69:35 For GOD shall save Zion, and shall build the cities of Judah:
          that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
Psa 69:36 The seed also of His servants shall inherit it:
          and they that love His name shall dwell in it.

Psa 70:1 (To the chief Musician, [Psalm] of David to bring to remembrance).
        GOD, to deliver me;
        LORD [make haste to] help me.{variant}. [Psa 40:13-17]
Psa 70:2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul.
         Let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
Psa 70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
Psa 70:4 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee:
         and let such as love Thy Salvation say continually, Let GOD be magnified.
Psa 70:5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste to me, GOD:
         Thou [are] my Help and my Deliverer; LORD, make no delay.
Psa 71:1 In Thee, LORD, do I put my trust:
         let me never be ashamed.
Psa 71:2 Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
          incline Thy ear to me, and save me.
Psa 71:3 Be a Rock of refuge for me, to which I may continually resort:
         Thou have given Commandment to save me;
         for Thou [are] my Rock and my Fortress.
Psa 71:4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
         from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Psa 71:5 For Thou [are] my hope, Lord JeHoVaH:
         Thou [are] my trust from my youth.
Psa 71:6 By Thee have I been held from the belly;
         Thou are He who brought me out of my mother's womb:
         my praise [shall be] continually of Thee.
Psa 71:7 I [am] as a wonder to many; but Thou [are] my strong refuge.
Psa 71:8 Let my mouth be filled [with] Thy praise [and with] Thy honour all the day.
Psa 71:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age;
          forsake me not when my strength fails.
Psa 71:10 For my enemies speak against me;
           and they that lay in wait for my soul take counsel together,
Psa 71:11 saying, GOD has forsaken him: persecute and take him;
           for [there is] none to deliver him.
Psa 71:12 God, be not far from me: my God, make haste for my help.
Psa 71:13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul;
          let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
Psa 71:14 But I shall hope continually, and shall yet praise Thee more.
Psa 71:15 My mouth shall show forth Thy righteousness [and] Thy Salvation all the day;
          for I know not the numbers.
Psa 71:16 I shall go in the strength of the Lord JeHoVaH:
          I shall make mention of Thy righteousness, of Thy only.
Psa 71:17 GOD, Thou have taught me from my youth:
          and until now have I declared Thy wondrous works.
Psa 71:18 Now also when I [am] old and grey-headed, GOD, forsake me not;
           until I have shown Thy arm to [this] generation,
           [and] Thy power to every one [that] is to come.
Psa 71:19 Thy righteousness also, GOD, [is] very high,
           who have done great things: GOD, who [is] like to Thee!
Psa 71:20 [Thou], who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again,
           and shall bring me again from the abysses of the Earth.
Psa 71:21 Thou shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Psa 71:22 I shall also praise Thee with the psaltery, Thy truth, my God:
           to Thee shall I sing-psalms with the harp, Thou Holy [One] of Israel.
Psa 71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing-psalms to Thee;
           and my soul, which Thou have redeemed.
Psa 71:24 My tongue also shall talk of Thy righteousness all the day long:
          for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.

Psa 72:1 ([Psalm] for Solomon).
        Give the king Thy Judgments, GOD,
          and Thy righteousness to the king's Son.
Psa 72:2 He shall judge Thy people with righteousness,
          and Thy poor with judgment.
Psa 72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people,
          and the little hills, by righteousness.
Psa 72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people,
         He shall save the sons of the needy,
          and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
Psa 72:5 They shall fear Thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
          throughout all generations.
Psa 72:6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass:
          as showers [that] water the Earth.
Psa 72:7 In his days shall the righteous flourish;
          and abundance of peace until there be no moon.
Psa 72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
          and from the river to the ends of the Earth.
Psa 72:9 Desert-dwellers shall bow before Him;
          and His enemies shall lick the dust.
Psa 72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:
          the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Psa 72:11 And all kings shall fall down before Him:
           all nations shall serve Him.
Psa 72:12 For He shall deliver the needy when he cries;
          the poor also, and him that has no helper.
Psa 72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy,
           and shall save the souls of the needy.
Psa 72:14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence:
           and precious shall be their blood in His sight.
Psa 72:15 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 bless him.
Psa 72:16 There shall be a handful of grain in the Earth upon the top of the mountains;
          the fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon:
          and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the Earth.
Psa 72:17 His name shall endure forever:
          His name shall be continued as long as the sun:
           and [men] shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.
Psa 72:18
          Blessed [be] the LORD GOD, the God of Israel,
           who only does wondrous things!
Psa 72:19 Blessed [be] His glorious name forever:
           and let all the Earth be filled [with] His glory! Amen, and Amen!
Psa 72:20 {The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended}.

Psa 73:1 {Part 3}.
         (Psalm of Asaph).
        Truly GOD [is] good to Israel,
        to such as are of a clean heart.
Psa 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone;
         my steps had well near slipped.
Psa 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish,
         [when] I saw the welfare of the wicked.
Psa 73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death:
       but their strength [is] firm.
Psa 73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men;
          neither are they afflicted like [other] men.
Psa 73:6 Therefore pride surrounds them as a chain;
          violence covers them [as] a garment.
Psa 73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness:
          they have more than heart could wish.
Psa 73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression:
         they speak loftily.
Psa 73:9 They set their mouth against the Heavens,
          and their tongue walks through the Earth.
Psa 73:10 Therefore His people return here:
           and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them.
Psa 73:11 And they say, How does God know?
           And is there knowledge in the Most High?
Psa 73:12 Behold, these [are] the wicked, who prosper in the World;
           they increase [in] riches.
Psa 73:13 Truly I have cleansed my heart [in] vain,
           and washed my hands in innocence.
Psa 73:14 For all the day long have I been afflicted,
           and chastened every morning.
Psa 73:15 If I say, I shall speak thus;
           behold, I should offend [against] the generation of Thy sons.
Psa 73:16 When I thought to know this,
           it [was] too painful for me;
Psa 73:17 until I went into the Sanctuary of God;
          [then] I understood their end.
Psa 73:18 Surely, Thou did set them in slippery places:
           Thou did cast them down into destruction.
Psa 73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment!
           They are utterly consumed with terrors.
Psa 73:20 As a dream when [one] awakens;
          [so], Lord, when Thou awake,
          Thou shall despise their image.
Psa 73:21 Thus my heart was grieved,
           and I was pricked in my reins.
Psa 73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant:
           I have been [as] a beast before Thee.
Psa 73:23 And I [am] continually with Thee:
          Thou have held me by my right hand.
Psa 73:24 Thou shall guide me with Thy counsel,
           and afterward receive me [to] glory.
Psa 73:25 Whom have I in Heaven [but Thee]?
           And [there is] none upon Earth [that] I desire besides Thee.
Psa 73:26 My flesh and my heart fails:
           [but] GOD [is] the Rock{Strength} of my heart, and my Portion forever.
Psa 73:27 For behold, they that are far from Thee shall perish:
           Thou have destroyed all them that go astray from Thee.
Psa 73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to GOD:
           I have put my trust in the Lord JeHoVaH,
           that I may declare all Thy works.

Psa 74:1 (Maschil of Asaph).
        GOD, why have Thou cast [us] off forever?
        [Why] does Thy anger smoke against the sheep of Thy pasture?
Psa 74:2 Remember Thy Congregation, [which] Thou have purchased of old:
          the rod of Thy inheritance, [which] Thou have redeemed;
          this Mount Zion, in which Thou have dwelt.
Psa 74:3 Lift up Thy feet to the perpetual desolations;
          all [that] the enemy has done wickedly in the Sanctuary.
Psa 74:4 Thy enemies roar in the middle of Thy Congregations;
         they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
Psa 74:5 [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
Psa 74:6 But now they break down the carved work of it at once with axes and hammers.
Psa 74:7 They have cast fire into Thy Sanctuary,
         they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling-place of Thy name to the ground.
Psa 74:8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:
         they have burned up all the Congregations of God in the land.
Psa 74:9 We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet:
           neither [is there] among us any that knows until when.
Psa 74:10 GOD, until when shall the adversary reproach?
          Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name forever?
Psa 74:11 Why withdraw Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand?
           Pluck [it] out of Thy bosom.
Psa 74:12 For GOD [is] my King of old,
          working Salvation in the middle of the Earth.
Psa 74:13 Thou did divide the sea by Thy strength:
          Thou did break the heads of the monsters in the waters.
Psa 74:14 Thou did break the head of Leviathan in pieces,
         [and] did give him [to be] food to the desert-dwellers.
Psa 74:15 Thou did cleave the fountain and the flood:
          Thou did dry up mighty rivers.
Psa 74:16 The day [is] Thy, the night also [is] Thy:
          Thou have prepared the light and the sun.
Psa 74:17 Thou have set all the borders of the Earth:
          Thou have made summer and winter.
Psa 74:18 Remember this, the enemy has reproached, LORD,
           and the foolish people have blasphemed Thy name.
Psa 74:19 Deliver not the soul of Thy turtledove to the beasts:
           forget not the Congregation of Thy poor forever.
Psa 74:20 Have respect to the Covenant:
           for the dark places of the Earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
Psa 74:21 Let not the oppressed return ashamed:
          let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
Psa 74:22 Arise, GOD, plead Thy own cause:
           remember how the foolish man reproaches Thee daily.
Psa 74:23 Forget not the voice of Thy enemies:
           the tumult of those that rise against Thee increases continually.

Psa 75:1 (To the chief Musician, Al-taschith{do not destroy}, Psalm [and] Song of Asaph).
          To Thee, GOD, do we give thanks,
         [to Thee] do we give thanks:
          for [that] Thy name [is] near,
          Thy wondrous works declare.
Psa 75:2 When I shall receive the Congregation,
          I shall judge uprightly.
Psa 75:3 The Earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved:
          I bear up the pillars of it. (Selah).

Psa 75:4 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly;
          and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.
Psa 75:5 Lift not up your horn on high:
         speak [not] with a stiff neck.
Psa 75:6 For promotion [comes] neither from the east,
          nor from the west, nor from the desert.
Psa 75:7 But GOD [is] the judge:
          He puts down one, and sets up another.
Psa 75:8 For in the hand of the LORD [is] a cup of foaming wine, <full of mixture>,
         and He pours out of the same:
         but the dregs of it all the wicked of the Earth shall drain, [and] drink [them]. [Rev 14:10]
Psa 75:9 But I shall declare forever; I shall sing-psalms to the God of Jacob.
Psa 75:10 All the horns of the wicked also shall I cut off;
        [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Psa 76:1 (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Psalm [and] Song of Asaph).
         In Judah [is] GOD known:
          His name [is] great in Israel.
Psa 76:2 In Salem also is His Tabernacle,
          and His dwelling-place in Zion.
Psa 76:3 There He broke the arrows of the bow,
          the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah).

Psa 76:4 Thou [are] more brilliant [and] excellent than the mountains of prey.
Psa 76:5 The stout of heart are spoiled,
         they have slept their sleep:
          and none of the men of might have found their hands.
Psa 76:6 At Thy rebuke, God of Jacob,
          both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
Psa 76:7 Thou, awesome Thou:
          and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou are angry?
Psa 76:8 Thou did cause judgment to be heard from Heaven;
          the Earth feared, and was still,
Psa 76:9  when GOD arose to judgment,
          to save all the meek of the Earth. (Selah).

Psa 76:10 Surely, the wrath of man shall praise Thee:
          the remainder of wrath shall Thou restrain.
Psa 76:11 Vow, and pay to the LORD your God:
          let all that are about Him bring presents to Him that ought to be feared.
Psa 76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes:
         [He is] awesome to the kings of the Earth.

Psa 77:1 (To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, Psalm of Asaph).
         I cried to GOD with my voice,
         to GOD with my voice; and He gave ear to me.
Psa 77:2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:
          my hand ran in the night, and ceased not:
          my soul refused to be comforted.
Psa 77:3 I remembered GOD, and was troubled:
         I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah).

Psa 77:4 Thou hold my eyes waking: I [am] so troubled that I cannot speak.
Psa 77:5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Psa 77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night:
         I commune with my own heart:
          and my spirit made diligent search.
Psa 77:7 Will the Lord cast off forever?
         And shall He be favourable no more?
Psa 77:8 Is His mercy wholly gone forever?
        Does [His] promise fail from generation to generation?
Psa 77:9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
        Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? (Selah).

Psa 77:10 And I said, This [is] my infirmity:
          [but I shall remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.
Psa 77:11 I shall remember the works of JaH:
           surely I shall remember Thy wonders of old.
Psa 77:12 I shall meditate also of all Thy work,
           and talk of Thy doings.
Psa 77:13 Thy way, GOD, [is] in the Sanctuary:
           who [is] a great God as GOD!
Psa 77:14 Thou [are] the God that do wonders:
          Thou have declared Thy strength among the people.
Psa 77:15 Thou have with [Thy] arm redeemed Thy people,
           the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah).

Psa 77:16 The waters saw Thee, GOD, the waters saw Thee;
           they were afraid: the abysses also were disturbed.
Psa 77:17 The clouds poured out water:
          the skies sent out a sound:
          Thy arrows also went abroad.
Psa 77:18 The voice of Thy thunder [was] in the Orb:
          the lightnings lightened the World:
          the Earth trembled and shook.
Psa 77:19 Thy way [is] in the sea,
           and Thy path in the great waters,
           and Thy footsteps are not known.
Psa 77:20 Thou led Thy people like a flock,
           by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psa 78:1 (Maschil of Asaph).
        Give ear, my people, [to] my law:
        incline your ear to the words of my mouth.
Psa 78:2 I shall open My mouth in parables;
         I shall utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation{of the World}. [Mat 13:35]
Psa 78:3 Which we have heard and known,
          and our fathers have told us.
Psa 78:4 We shall not hide [them] from their sons,
         showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD,
         and His strength, and His wonders that He has done.
Psa 78:5 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 sons:
Psa 78:6 that the generation to come might know [them],
         the sons [who] should be born;
         [who] should arise and declare [them] to their sons:
Psa 78:7 that they might set their hope in GOD,
         and not forget the works of God, but keep His Commandments:
Psa 78:8 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.
Psa 78:9 The sons of Ephraim, [being] armed,
          [and] carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
Psa 78:10
         They kept not the Covenant of GOD,
          and refused to walk in His Law;
Psa 78:11 and forgot His works,
          and His wonders that He had shown them.
Psa 78:12 Marvellous things did He in the sight of their fathers,
          in the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.
Psa 78:13 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through;
           and He made the waters to stand as a heap.
Psa 78:14 In the day-time also He led them with a cloud,
           and all the night with a light of fire.
Psa 78:15 He cleaved the rocks in the wilderness,
           and gave [them] drink as [out of] the great abysses.
Psa 78:16 And he brought streams also out of the rock,
           and caused waters to run down like rivers.
Psa 78:17
         And they sinned yet more against Him,
          by provoking the Most High in the wilderness.
Psa 78:18 And they tempted God in their heart,
           by asking food for their [desire of the] souls.
Psa 78:19 They spoke against GOD; they said,
           Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
Psa 78:20
          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?
Psa 78:21 Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth:
          so a fire was kindled against Jacob,
           and anger also came up against Israel;
Psa 78:22 because they believed not in GOD,
          and trusted not in His Salvation:
Psa 78:23 though He had commanded the clouds from above,
           and opened the doors of Heaven,
Psa 78:24 and had rained down manna upon them;
        He gave them Bread from Heaven to eat. [Joh 6:31]
Psa 78:25 Man ate Angels' food: He sent them provision to the full.
Psa 78:26
          He caused an east wind to blow in the Heaven:
           and by His power He brought in the south [wind].
Psa 78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust,
           and feathered fowls like as the sand of the seas.
Psa 78:28 And He let [it] fall in the middle of their camp,
           around their habitations.
Psa 78:29 But they ate, and were well filled:
           for He gave them their own desire;
Psa 78:30 they were not estranged from their desire:
           but while their food [was] yet in their mouths.
Psa 78:31
         The wrath of GOD came upon them,
          and slew the fattest of them,
          and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.
Psa 78:32 For all this they sinned still,
          and believed not for his wondrous works.
Psa 78:33 Therefore their days did He consume in vanity,
          and their years in trouble.
Psa 78:34 When He slew them, then they sought Him:
          and they returned and inquired early after God.
Psa 78:35 And they remembered that GOD [was] their Rock,
          and the God Most High their Redeemer.
Psa 78:36 And they flattered Him with their mouth,
           and they lied to Him with their tongues.
Psa 78:37 For their heart was not right with Him,
           neither were they steadfast in His Covenant.
Psa 78:38 But he, [being] full of compassion,
          forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not:
         yes, many a time He turned His anger away,
          and did not stir up all His wrath.
Psa 78:39 And He remembered that they [were but] flesh;
           a wind that passes away, and comes not again.
Psa 78:40 How often did they provoke Him in the wilderness,
          [and] grieve Him in the desert!
Psa 78:41 And they turned back and tempted God,
          and limited the Holy [One] of Israel.
Psa 78:42
        They remembered not His hand,
          [nor] the day when He delivered them from the enemy.
Psa 78:43 How He had wrought His signs in Egypt,
          and His wonders in the field of Zoan:
Psa 78:44 and had turned their rivers into blood;
          and their floods, [that] they could not drink.
Psa 78:45 He sent swarms [of flies] among them, which devoured them;
           and frogs, which destroyed them.
Psa 78:46 He gave also their increase to the caterpillar,
           and their labour to the locust.
Psa 78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail,
           and their sycamore-trees with frost.
Psa 78:48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail,
           and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
Psa 78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger,
           wrath, and indignation, and trouble,
           by sending evil Angels [among them].
Psa 78:50 He made a path to His anger;
          He spared not their soul from death,
           but gave their life over to the pestilence;
Psa 78:51  and smote all the first-born in Egypt;
           the chief of [their] strength in the Tabernacles of Ham:
Psa 78:52 but made His own people to go forth like sheep,
           and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
Psa 78:53 And He led them on safely, so that they feared not:
           but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
Psa 78:54 And He brought them to the border of His Sanctuary,
           [even to] this mountain, [which] His right hand had purchased.
Psa 78:55 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.
Psa 78:56
         Yet they tempted and provoked GOD Most High,
          and kept not His Testimonies:
Psa 78:57 but turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:
           they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
Psa 78:58 For they provoked Him to anger with their high places,
           and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.
Psa 78:59 When GOD heard [this], He was wroth,
           and greatly abhorred Israel:
Psa 78:60 so that He forsook the Tabernacle of Shiloh,
           the tent [which] He placed among men;
Psa 78:61 and delivered His strength into captivity,
           and His glory into the enemy's hand.
Psa 78:62 He gave over His people also to the sword;
           and was wroth with His inheritance.
Psa 78:63 The fire consumed their young men;
           and their maidens were not given to marriage.
Psa 78:64 Their priests fell by the sword;
           and their widows made no lamentation.
Psa 78:65 Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep,
           [and] like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine.
Psa 78:66 And He smote His enemies in the hinder part:
          He put them to a perpetual reproach.
Psa 78:67 And He refused the Tabernacle of Joseph,
           and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
Psa 78:68 but chose the tribe of Judah,
           the Mount Zion which He loved.
Psa 78:69 And He built His Sanctuary like high [palaces],
           like the Earth which He has established forever.
Psa 78:70 He chose David also His servant,
           and took him from the sheep folds:
Psa 78:71 from following the ewes great with young he brought him,
          to shepherd Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance.
Psa 78:72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart;
           and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Psa 79:1 (Psalm of Asaph).
        GOD, the heathen have come into Thy inheritance;
        Thy Holy Temple have they defiled;
         they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
Psa 79:2 The carcasses of Thy servants have they given [to be] food to the fowls of the air,
         the flesh of Thy Saints, to the animals of the Earth.
Psa 79:3 Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem;
          and [there was] none to bury [them].
Psa 79:4 We have become a reproach to our neighbours,
         a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
Psa 79:5 Until when, LORD? Will Thou be angry forever?
          Shall Thy jealousy burn like fire?
Psa 79:6 Pour out Thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known Thee,
          and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon Thy name.
Psa 79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-place.
Psa 79:8 Remember not against us former iniquities:
         let Thy tender mercies speedily meet us: for we are brought very low.
Psa 79:9 Help us, God of our Salvation, for the glory of Thy name:
         and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for Thy name's sake.
Psa 79:10 Why should the heathen say, Where [is] their God?
          Let Him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] avenging the blood of Thy servants [which is] shed.
Psa 79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before Thee;
           according to the greatness of Thy arm preserve Thou those that are sons of death;
Psa 79:12 and render to our neighbours seven-fold into their bosom their reproach,
           with which they have reproached Thee, Lord.
Psa 79:13 So we Thy people and sheep of Thy pasture shall give Thee thanks forever:
          we shall show forth from generation to generation Thy praise.

Psa 80:1 (To the chief Musician on Shoshannim Eduth{Lilies of Testimony}, Psalm of Asaph).
        Give ear, Shepherd of Israel,
         Thou that lead Joseph like a flock;
         Thou that dwell [between] the cherubim, shine forth.
Psa 80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up Thy strength,
          and come [and] save us.
Psa 80:3 Turn us back, GOD,
          and cause Thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Psa 80:4
        LORD, GOD of Sabaoth,
         until when shall Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people?
Psa 80:5 Thou feed them with the bread of tears;
          and give them tears to drink in great measure.
Psa 80:6 Thou make us a strife to our neighbours:
          and our enemies laugh among themselves.
Psa 80:7 Turn us back, GOD of Sabaoth,
          and cause Thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Psa 80:8
         Thou have brought a vine out of Egypt:
         Thou have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
Psa 80:9 Thou prepared [room] before it,
          and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
Psa 80:10 The mountains were covered with the shade of it,
          and its boughs [were like] the cedars of God.
Psa 80:11 She sent out her boughs to the sea,
           and her branches to the river.
Psa 80:12 Why have Thou [then] broke down her hedges,
          so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?
Psa 80:13 A swine from the wood does waste it,
           and the wild beast of the Field does devour it.
Psa 80:14 Return, we beseech Thee, GOD of Sabaoth:
          look down from Heaven, and behold, and visit this vine.
Psa 80:15
        And the vineyard which Thy right hand planted,
          and the Branch [whom] Thou made strong for Thyself.
Psa 80:16 [It is] burnt with fire, [it is] cut down:
           they perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance.
Psa 80:17 Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand,
           upon the Son of Man [whom] Thou made strong for Thyself.
Psa 80:18 So shall we not go back from Thee:
           revive us, and we shall call upon Thy name.
Psa 80:19 Turn us back, LORD, GOD of Sabaoth,
            and cause Thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Psa 81:1 (To the chief Musician on Gittith, [Psalm] of Asaph).
        Sing aloud to GOD our Strength:
         make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Psa 81:2 Take a melody, and bring here the timbrel,
         the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Psa 81:3 Blow the shofar in the New Moon,
          in the New Moon, on our solemn Festival day.
Psa 81:4 For this [is] a statute for Israel,
          [and] a law of the God of Jacob.
Psa 81:5 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.
Psa 81:6 I removed his shoulder from the burden:
         his hands were delivered from the baskets.
Psa 81:7 Thou called in trouble, and I rescued Thee;
          I answered Thee in the secret place of thunder:
          I proved Thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah).

Psa 81:8 Hear, My people, and I shall testify to Thee;
          Israel, if Thou shall listen to Me;
Psa 81:9 there shall no strange god be in Thee;
          neither shall Thou worship any strange god.
Psa 81:10 I [AM] the LORD Thy God who brought Thee out of the land of Egypt:
           open Thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.
Psa 81:11 But My people would not listen to My voice;
           and Israel would not obey Me.
Psa 81:12 So I gave them up to their own hearts lust:
          [and] they walked in their own counsels.
Psa 81:13 That My people had listened to Me,
          [and] Israel had walked in My ways!
Psa 81:14 I should soon have subdued their enemies,
           and turned My hand against their adversaries.
Psa 81:15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to Him:
           and their time should have endured forever.
Psa 81:16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat:
           and with honey out of the Rock I should have satisfied Thee.

Psa 82:1 (Psalm of Asaph).
        GOD stands in the Congregation of God;
          He judges among the GODS.
Psa 82:2 Until when shall ye judge unjustly,
          and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah).

Psa 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless:
          do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Psa 82:4 Deliver the poor and needy:
         deliver [them] from the hand of the wicked.
Psa 82:5 They know not, neither shall they understand;
         they walk on in darkness:
        all the foundations of the Earth are out of course.
Psa 82:6 I have said, Ye [are] GODS; [Joh 10:34]
        and all of you [are] sons of the Most High.
Psa 82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
Psa 82:8 Arise, GOD, judge the Earth: for Thou shall inherit all nations.

Psa 83:1 (Psalm [and] Song of Asaph).
        Keep not Thou silence, GOD:
        hold not Thy peace, and be not still, God.
Psa 83:2 For behold, Thy enemies make a tumult:
         and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
Psa 83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against Thy people,
          and consulted against Thy hidden ones.
Psa 83:4 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.
Psa 83:5 For they have consulted in heart together:
         they are confederate against Thee,
Psa 83:6 the Tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;
          of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Psa 83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
          the Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Psa 83:8 Assyria also is joined with them:
          they were an arm for the sons of Lot. (Selah).

Psa 83:9 Do to them as [to] the Midianites;
          as [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Psa 83:10 [who] perished at En-Dor:
           they became [as] dung for the Earth.
Psa 83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:
           yes, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
Psa 83:12 who said, Let us inherit for ourselves the habitations of GOD.
Psa 83:13 My God, make them like a wheel;
           as the stubble before the wind.
Psa 83:14 As the fire burns a wood,
           and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;
Psa 83:15 so persecute them with Thy tempest,
           and make them afraid with Thy storm.
Psa 83:16 Fill their faces with shame;
           that they may seek Thy name, LORD.
Psa 83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled forever;
           yes, let them be put to shame, and perish:
Psa 83:18 that [men] may know that Thou, whose name alone [is] JeHoVaH,
           [are] the Most High above all the Earth.

Psa 84:1 (To the chief Musician on Gittith, Psalm for the sons of Korah).
        How amiable [are] Thy Tabernacles,
         LORD of Sabaoth!
Psa 84:2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD:
         my heart and My flesh cries out for the Living God.
Psa 84:3 Yes, the sparrow has found a house,
          and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
          Thy Altars, LORD of Sabaoth, my King, and my God.
Psa 84:4 Blessed [are] they that dwell in Thy house:
          they shall be still praising Thee! (Selah).

Psa 84:5 Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in Thee;
          in whose heart [are] the ways [of them]!
Psa 84:6 [Who] passing through the valley of mulberry-trees make it a well;
          the rain also fills the pools.
Psa 84:7 They go from strength to strength,
          [every one of them] in Zion appears before GOD.
Psa 84:8 LORD, GOD of Sabaoth, hear my prayer:
          give ear, God of Jacob. (Selah).

Psa 84:9 Behold, GOD our Shield,
          and look upon the face of Thy anointed.
Psa 84:10 For a day in Thy courts [is] better than a thousand.
          I had rather be a door-keeper in the House of my God,
          than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Psa 84:11 For the LORD GOD [is] a Sun and Shield:
           the LORD shall give grace and glory:
            no good-will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Psa 84:12 LORD of Sabaoth,
           blessed [is] the man that trusts in Thee.

Psa 85:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm for the sons of Korah).
        LORD, Thou have been favourable to Thy land:
         Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Psa 85:2 Thou have forgiven the iniquity of Thy people,
         Thou have covered all their sin. (Selah).

Psa 85:3 Thou have taken away all Thy wrath;
         Thou have turned [thyself] from the fierceness of Thy anger.
Psa 85:4 Turn us, God of our Salvation,
          and cause Thy anger towards us to cease.
Psa 85:5 Will Thou be angry with us forever?
         Will Thou draw out Thy anger from generation to generation?
Psa 85:6 Will Thou not revive us again:
          that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
Psa 85:7 Show us Thy mercy, LORD, and grant us Thy Salvation.
Psa 85:8 I shall hear what God the LORD shall speak:
         for He shall speak peace to His people, and to His Saints:
         but let them not turn back to folly.
Psa 85:9 Surely, His Salvation [is] near them that fear Him;
          that glory may dwell in our land.
Psa 85:10 Mercy and truth are met together;
          righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
Psa 85:11 Truth shall spring out of the Earth;
           and righteousness shall look down from Heaven.
Psa 85:12 Yes, the LORD shall give [that which is] good;
           and our land shall yield her increase.
Psa 85:13 Righteousness shall go before Him;
           and shall set [us] in the way of His steps.

Psa 86:1 (Prayer of David).
        Incline Thy ear, LORD, reply me:
         for I [am] poor and needy.
Psa 86:2 Preserve my soul; for I [am] Holy:
          Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusts in Thee.
Psa 86:3 Be merciful to me, Lord:
          for I cry to Thee daily.
Psa 86:4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant:
          for to Thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Psa 86:5 For Thou, Lord, [are] good, and ready to forgive;
           and abundant in mercy to all those that call upon Thee.
Psa 86:6 Give ear, LORD, to my prayer;
          and attend to the voice of my supplications.
Psa 86:7 In the day of my trouble I shall call upon Thee:
          for Thou shall answer me.
Psa 86:8 Among the GODS [there is] none like Thee, Lord;
          neither [are there any works] like Thy works.
Psa 86:9 All nations whom Thou have made shall come and worship before Thee, Lord;
          and shall glorify Thy name.
Psa 86:10 For Thou [are] great, and do wondrous things:
          Thou [are] GOD alone.
Psa 86:11 Teach me Thy way, LORD; I shall walk in Thy truth:
           unite my heart to fear Thy name.
Psa 86:12 I shall praise Thee, LORD my God, with all my heart:
          and I shall glorify Thy name forever.
Psa 86:13 For great [is] Thy mercy towards me:
           and Thou have rescued my soul from the lowest Sheol.
Psa 86:14 GOD, the proud have risen against me,
          and the assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul;
          and have not set Thee before them.
Psa 86:15 But Thou, Lord, [are] a God full of compassion, and gracious;
           patient, and abundant in mercy and truth.
Psa 86:16 Turn to me, and have mercy upon me;
           give Thy strength to Thy servant,
            and save the son of Thy handmaid.
Psa 86:17 Show me a sign for good;
           that they who hate me may see [it], and be ashamed:
           because Thou, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.

Psa 87:1 (Psalm [and] Song for the sons of Korah).
        His foundation [is] in the Holy Mounts.
Psa 87:2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion,
          more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Psa 87:3 Glorious things are spoken of Thee, city of GOD. (Selah).

Psa 87:4 I shall make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:
          behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this [man] was born there.
Psa 87:5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her:
         and the Most High Himself shall establish her.
Psa 87:6 The LORD shall count, when He writes up the people,
         [that] this [man] was born there. (Selah).

Psa 87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be there]:
          all my springs [are] in Thee.

Psa 88:1 (Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah,
          to the chief Musician on Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite).
        LORD, God of my Salvation,
         I have cried day [and] night before Thee:
Psa 88:2 Let my prayer come before Thee:
          incline Thy ear to my cry;
Psa 88:3 for my soul is full of troubles:
          and my life draws near to Sheol.
Psa 88:4 I have been counted with them that go down into the pit:
         I have been like a man without strength:
Psa 88:5 free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave,
          whom Thou remember no more: and they are cut off from Thy hand.
Psa 88:6 Thou have laid me in the lowest pit,
          in darkness, in the deeps.
Psa 88:7 Thy wrath lies hard upon me,
          and Thou have afflicted me with all Thy waves. (Selah).

Psa 88:8 Thou have put away my acquaintance far from me;
         Thou have made me an abomination to them:
          I [am] shut up, and I cannot to come forth.
Psa 88:9 My eye mourns by reason of affliction: LORD,
          I have called daily upon Thee,
          I have stretched out my hands to Thee.
Psa 88:10 Thou shall give wonders to the dead?
          The dead shall arise [and] praise Thee? (Selah).

Psa 88:11 Shall Thy kindness be declared in the grave?
          [Or] Thy faithfulness in destruction?
Psa 88:12 Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark?
          And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Psa 88:13 But to Thee have I cried, LORD;
          and in the morning shall my prayer come before Thee.
Psa 88:14 LORD, why cast Thou off my soul?
          [Why] hide Thou Thy face from me?
Psa 88:15 I [am] afflicted and ready to die from my youth up:
          [while] I suffer Thy terrors I [am] distracted.
Psa 88:16 Thy fierce wrath goes over me;
          Thy terrors have cut me off.
Psa 88:17 They came around me daily like water;
          they surrounded me together.
Psa 88:18 Lover and friend have Thou put far from me,
          [and] my acquaintance into darkness.

Psa 89:1 (Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite).
        I shall sing of the mercies of the LORD forever:
         with my mouth shall I make known Thy faithfulness from generation to generation.
Psa 89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever:
          Thy faithfulness shall Thou establish in the very Heavens.
Psa 89:3 I have made a Covenant with My chosen,
         I have sworn to David My servant,
Psa 89:4 Thy seed I shall establish forever,
         and build up Thy throne from generation to generation. (Selah).

Psa 89:5 And the Heavens shall praise Thy wonders, LORD;
         Thy faithfulness also in the Congregation of the Saints.
Psa 89:6 For who in the sky can be compared to the LORD?
         [Who] among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?
Psa 89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the Saints,
          and to be had in reverence by all [them that are] about Him.
Psa 89:8 LORD, God of Sabaoth, who [is] a strong JaH like to Thee?
          Or to Thy faithfulness around Thee?
Psa 89:9 Thou rule the raging of the sea:
          when its waves arise, Thou still them.
Psa 89:10 Thou have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;
          Thou have scattered Thy enemies with Thy strong arm.
Psa 89:11 The Heavens [are] Thy, the Earth also [is] Thy:
          [as for] the World, and the fullness of it, Thou have founded them.
Psa 89:12 The north and the right{south} Thou have created them:
           Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy name.
Psa 89:13 Thou have a mighty arm: strong is Thy hand,
          [and] high is Thy right hand.
Psa 89:14 Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of Thy throne:
           mercy and truth shall go before Thy face.
Psa 89:15 Blessed [are] the people that know the joyful sound:
           they shall walk, LORD, in the light of Thy countenance!
Psa 89:16 In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day:
           and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
Psa 89:17 For Thou [are] the glory of their strength:
           and in Thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
Psa 89:18 For the LORD [is] our Shield;
           and the Holy [One] of Israel [is] our King.
Psa 89:19 Then Thou did speak in vision to Thy Holy [One], and say,
          I have laid help upon [one that is] mighty;
          I have exalted [one] chosen out of the people.
Psa 89:20 I have found David My servant;
           with My Holy oil have I anointed him:
Psa 89:21 with whom My hand shall be established:
           My arm also shall strengthen Him.
Psa 89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon Him;
           nor the son of wickedness afflict Him.
Psa 89:23 And I shall beat down His adversaries before His face,
           and plague them that hate Him.
Psa 89:24 But My faithfulness and My mercy [shall be] with Him:
          and in My name shall His horn be exalted.
Psa 89:25 I shall set His hand also in the sea,
          and His right hand in the rivers.
Psa 89:26 He shall cry to Me, Thou [are] My Father,
           my God, and the Rock of my Salvation.
Psa 89:27 Also I shall make Him My First-Born,
           higher than the kings of the Earth.
Psa 89:28 My mercy I shall keep for Him forever,
           and My Covenant shall stand fast with Him.
Psa 89:29 His seed also shall I make [to endure] forever,
           and His throne as the days of Heaven;
Psa 89:30 if His sons forsake My Law,
           and walk not in My Judgments;
Psa 89:31 if they break My Statutes,
           and keep not My Commandments;
Psa 89:32 then shall I visit their transgression with the rod,
           and their iniquity with stripes.
Psa 89:33 And My kindness shall I not utterly take from Him,
           nor allow My faithfulness to fail.
Psa 89:34 My Covenant shall I not break,
           nor alter the thing that has gone out of My lips.
Psa 89:35 Once have I sworn by My Holiness that I shall not lie to David.
Psa 89:36 His seed shall endure forever,
           and His throne as the sun before Me.
Psa 89:37 It shall be established forever as the moon,
           and [as] a faithful witness in the sky. (Selah).

Psa 89:38 But Thou have cast off and abhorred,
          Thou have been wroth with Thy anointed.
Psa 89:39 Thou have made void the Covenant of Thy servant:
          Thou have profaned His crown [by casting it] to the ground.
Psa 89:40 Thou have broken down all his hedges;
          Thou have brought his strong holds to ruin.
Psa 89:41 All that pass by the way plunder him:
          he is a reproach to his neighbours.
Psa 89:42 Thou have set up the right hand of his adversaries;
          Thou have made all his enemies to rejoice.
Psa 89:43 Thou have also turned the edge of his sword,
           and have not made him to stand in the battle.
Psa 89:44 Thou have made his glory to cease,
           and cast his throne down to the ground.
Psa 89:45 The days of his youth have Thou shortened:
          Thou have covered him with shame. (Selah).

Psa 89:46 Until when, LORD, shall Thou hide Thyself?
           Forever? Shall Thy wrath burn like fire?
Psa 89:47 Remember how short my time is:
         why have Thou made all men in vain?
Psa 89:48 What man [is he who] lives, and shall not see death?
          Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of Sheol? (Selah).

Psa 89:49 Lord, where [are] Thy former kindnesses,
          [which] Thou did swear to David in Thy truth?
Psa 89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Thy servants;
          [how] I do bear in My bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;
Psa 89:51 with which Thy enemies have reproached, LORD;
          with which they have reproached the footsteps of Thy anointed.
Psa 89:52 Blessed [be] the LORD forever! Amen and Amen!

Psa 90:1 {Part 4}.
         (Prayer of Moses the man of GOD).
        Lord, Thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations.
Psa 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
         or ever Thou had formed the Earth and the World,
         even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou [are] God.
Psa 90:3 Thou turn man to destruction; and say, Return, ye sons of men.
Psa 90:4 For a thousand years in Thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past,
         and [as] a watch in the night.
Psa 90:5 Thou carry them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep;
         in the morning [they are] like grass [which] grows;
Psa 90:6 in the morning it flourishes, and grows;
         in the evening it is cut down, and withers.
Psa 90:7
        For we are consumed by Thy anger,
        and by Thy wrath are we troubled.
Psa 90:8 Thou have set our iniquities before Thee,
         our secret [sins] in the light of Thy countenance.
Psa 90:9 For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath:
         we spend our years, as a tale [that is told].
Psa 90:10 The days of our years [are] seventy years;
           and if by reason of strength [they are] eighty years,
          yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow;
         for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Psa 90:11 Who knows the power of Thy anger?
          Even according to Thy fear, [so is] Thy wrath.
Psa 90:12
          So teach [us] to number [our] days,
          that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
Psa 90:13 Return, LORD, until when?
          And relent Thou concerning Thy servants.
Psa 90:14 Satisfy us early with Thy mercy;
          that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Psa 90:15 Make us glad according to the days [in which] Thou have afflicted us,
          [and] the years [in which] we have seen evil.
Psa 90:16 Let Thy work appear to Thy servants,
          and Thy glory to their sons.
Psa 90:17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us:
          and establish Thou the work of our hands upon us;
          yes, the work of our hands establish Thou it.

Psa 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High;
         shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psa 91:2 I shall say of the LORD, He [is] my Refuge and my Fortress:
         my God; in Him shall I trust.
Psa 91:3 Surely, He shall deliver Thee from the snare of the fowler,
         [and] from the noisome pestilence.
Psa 91:4 He shall cover Thee with His feathers,
         and under His wings shall Thou trust:
         His truth [shall be Thy] shield and rampart.
Psa 91:5 Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night;
         [nor] for the arrow [that] flies by day;
Psa 91:6 [nor] for the pestilence [that] walks in darkness;
         [nor] for the destruction [that] wastes at noon.
Psa 91:7 A thousand shall fall at Thy side,
          and myriad at Thy right hand;
          [but] it shall not come near Thee.
Psa 91:8 Only with Thy eyes shall Thou behold,
         and see the reward of the wicked.
Psa 91:9
          Because Thou have made the LORD [who is] my refuge,
          the Most High, Thy habitation.
Psa 91:10 There shall no evil befall Thee,
          neither shall any plague come near Thy tent.
Psa 91:11 He shall give His Angels charge concerning Thee:
        to keep Thee in all Thy ways. [Mat 4:6]
Psa 91:12 They shall bear Thee up on [their] hands they shall uphold Thee,
          lest Thou may dash Thy foot against a stone. [Mat 4:6]
Psa 91:13 Thou shall tread upon the lion and asp:
          the young lion and the monster shall Thou trample under feet;
Psa 91:14 because He has set His love upon me, therefore shall I deliver him:
          I shall set him on high, because he has known My name.
Psa 91:15 He shall call upon Me, and I shall answer him:
          I [shall be] with him in trouble;
          I shall deliver him, and honour him.
Psa 91:16 With long life shall I satisfy him,
           and show him My Salvation.

Psa 92:1 (Psalm [or] Song for the Sabbath day).
        [It is] good to give thanks to the LORD,
         and to sing-psalms to Thy name, Most High.
Psa 92:2 To show forth Thy kindness in the morning,
         and Thy faithfulness every night.
Psa 92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;
         upon the harp with a solemn sound.
Psa 92:4 For Thou, LORD, have made me glad through Thy work:
         I shall triumph in the works of Thy hands.
Psa 92:5 LORD, how great are Thy works!
         Thy thoughts are very deep.
Psa 92:6 A brutish man knows not;
         neither does a fool understand this.
Psa 92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass,
         and when all the workers of lawlessness do flourish;
         [it is] that they shall be destroyed forever.
Psa 92:8
        But Thou, LORD, [are] exalted forever.
Psa 92:9
        For behold, Thy enemies, LORD, for behold, Thy enemies shall perish;
         all the workers of lawlessness shall be scattered.
Psa 92:10 But My horn shall Thou exalt like [the horn of] a rhino:
         I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Psa 92:11 My eye also shall see my [desire] on my enemies,
         [and] my ears shall hear my [desire] of the wicked that rise up against me.
Psa 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree;
          he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Psa 92:13 Those that are planted in the House of the LORD,
          in the courts of our God, shall flourish.
Psa 92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
          they shall be fat and flourishing;
Psa 92:15 to show that the LORD [is] upright:
          [He is] my Rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in Him.

Psa 93:1 The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
         the LORD is clothed with strength,
         He has girded Himself:
         the World also is established, that it cannot be moved.
Psa 93:2 Thy throne [is] established of old:
         Thou [are] from everlasting.
Psa 93:3 The floods have lifted up, LORD,
         the floods have lifted up their voice;
         the floods lift their waves.
Psa 93:4 The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many waters,
        [than] the mighty waves of the sea.
Psa 93:5 Thy Testimonies are very sure:
         Holiness becomes Thy house, LORD, forever.

Psa 94:1 LORD, God of vengeance;
         God of vengeance, shine forth!
Psa 94:2 Lift up Thyself, Thou judge of the Earth:
         render recompense to the proud.
Psa 94:3 LORD, until when shall the wicked,
         until when shall the wicked triumph?
Psa 94:4 [Until when] shall they utter [and] speak hard things?
         All the workers of lawlessness boast themselves?
Psa 94:5 They break in pieces Thy people,
         LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
Psa 94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
          and murder the fatherless.
Psa 94:7 Yet they say, JaH shall not see,
          neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it].
Psa 94:8 Understand, ye brutish among the people:
         and [ye] fools, when shall ye be wise?
Psa 94:9  He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
          He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
Psa 94:10 He who chastises the heathen, shall He not correct?
          He who teaches man knowledge?
Psa 94:11 The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise men,
          that they [are] vain. [1Co 3:20]
Psa 94:12 Blessed [is] the man whom Thou chasten,
          JaH, and teach him out of Thy Law;
Psa 94:13 that Thou may give him rest from the days of adversity,
           until the pit be dig for the wicked!
Psa 94:14 For the LORD shall not cast off His people,
          neither shall He forsake His inheritance.
Psa 94:15 But judgment shall return to righteousness:
          and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Psa 94:16 Who shall rise up for me against the evil-doers?
          Who shall stand up for me against the workers of lawlessness?
Psa 94:17 Unless the LORD [had been] my Help,
          my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
Psa 94:18 When I said, My foot slips;
          Thy mercy, LORD, held me up.
Psa 94:19 In the multitude of My thoughts within me,
          Thy comforts delight my soul.
Psa 94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity join with Thee,
          which frames mischief by a Statute?
Psa 94:21 They assemble themselves against the soul of the righteous,
           and condemn the innocent blood.
Psa 94:22 But the LORD is my High Tower{Defence};
          and my God [is] the Rock of my refuge.
Psa 94:23 And He shall bring upon them their own iniquity,
         and shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
         the LORD our God shall cut them off.

Psa 95:1 Come, let us sing to the LORD:
         let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our Salvation.
Psa 95:2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
         and make a joyful noise to Him with songs.
Psa 95:3 For the LORD [is] a great God,
         and a Great King above all GODS.
Psa 95:4 In His hand [are] the deep places of the Earth:
         the strength of the hills [is] His also.
Psa 95:5 The sea [is] His, and He made it:
         and His hands formed the dry [land].
Psa 95:6 Come, let us worship and bow down:
         let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
Psa 95:7 For He [is] our God;
         and we [are] the people of His pasture,
         and the sheep of His hand.
         Today, if ye may hear His voice, [Heb 3:7]
Psa 95:8 ye may harden your hearts, as in the provocation{Meribah},
         [and] as [in] the day of temptation{Massah} in the wilderness: [Heb 3:8]
Psa 95:9 when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My work. [Heb 3:9]
Psa 95:10 Forty years. Therefore I was grieved with that generation,
         and said, They are always gone astray in [their] heart;
         and they have not known My ways. [Heb 3:9-10]
Psa 95:11 To whom I swore in My wrath,
          if they shall enter into My rest. [Heb 4:3 Heb 4:5]

Psa 96:1 Sing to the LORD a new song.
         Sing to the LORD, all the Earth.
Psa 96:2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name;
         show forth His Salvation from day to day.
Psa 96:3 Declare His glory among the nations,
         His wonders among all the peoples.
Psa 96:4
         For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised:
          He [is] to be feared above all GODS.
Psa 96:5 For all the gods of the peoples [are] idols:
         but the LORD made the Heavens.
Psa 96:6 Honour and majesty [are] before Him:
         strength and beauty [are] in His Sanctuary.
Psa 96:7
         Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people.
         Give to the LORD glory and strength.
Psa 96:8 Give to the LORD the glory [due to] His name:
         bring an offering, and come into His courts.
Psa 96:9 Worship the LORD in the beauty of Holiness:
         fear before Him, all the Earth.
Psa 96:10 Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigns:
         the World also shall be established that it shall not be moved:
          He shall judge the people righteously.
Psa 96:11
          Let the Heavens rejoice, and let the Earth be glad.
          Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it.
Psa 96:12 Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] in it:
          then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD:
Psa 96:13 for He comes, for He comes to judge the Earth:
          He shall judge the World with righteousness,
          and the people with His truth.

Psa 97:1 The LORD reigns; let the Earth rejoice;
         let the multitude of isles be glad.
Psa 97:2 Clouds and darkness surround Him:
         righteousness and judgment [are] the habitation of His throne.
Psa 97:3 A fire goes before Him,
         and burns up His enemies around.
Psa 97:4 His lightnings enlightened the World:
         the Earth saw, and trembled.
Psa 97:5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD,
          at the presence of the Lord of all the Earth.
Psa 97:6 The Heavens declare His righteousness,
         and all the people see His glory.
Psa 97:7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images,
          that boast themselves of idols;
        let all the Angels [of GOD] worship Him. [Heb 1:6]
Psa 97:8 Zion heard, and was glad;
         and the daughters of Judah rejoiced,
         because of Thy Judgments, LORD.
Psa 97:9 For Thou, LORD, [are] the Most High above all the Earth:
         Thou are exalted far above all GODS.
Psa 97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil:
          He preserves the souls of His Saints;
          He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
Psa 97:11 Light is sown for the righteous,
          and gladness for the upright in heart.
Psa 97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous;
          and give thanks at the remembrance of His Holiness.

Psa 98:1 (Psalm).
        Sing to the LORD a new song;
        for He has done marvellous things:
        His right hand, and His Holy arm, has worked Salvation for Him.
Psa 98:2 The LORD has made known His Salvation:
         His righteousness has He openly shown in the sight of the heathen.
Psa 98:3 He has remembered His mercy and His truth towards the House of Israel:
          all the ends of the Earth have seen the Salvation of our God.
Psa 98:4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the Earth:
         make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing-psalms.
Psa 98:5 Sing-psalms to the LORD with the harp;
         with the harp, and the voice of a melody.
Psa 98:6 With trumpets and the voice of the shofar,
          make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
Psa 98:7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it,
          the World, and they that dwell in it.
Psa 98:8 Let the floods clap [their] hands:
         let the mountains be joyful together.
Psa 98:9 Before the LORD; for He comes to judge the Earth:
         with righteousness shall He judge the World, and the people with equity.

Psa 99:1 The LORD reigns; let the people tremble:
         He sets [between] the cherubim; let the Earth be moved.
Psa 99:2 The LORD [is] great in Zion;
         and He [is] high above all the peoples.
Psa 99:3 Let them praise Thy great and awesome name;
         Holy [is] He.
Psa 99:4 The king's strength also loves judgment;
         Thou do establish equity,
         Thou execute judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
Psa 99:5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His stool of His feet;
         Holy is He.
Psa 99:6 Moses and Aaron among His priests,
         and Samuel among them that call upon His name;
         they called upon the LORD, and He answered them.
Psa 99:7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar:
          they kept His Testimonies, and the Statute [that] He gave them.
Psa 99:8 Thou did answer them, LORD our God:
         Thou were a God that forgave them,
          though Thou took vengeance of their inventions.
Psa 99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His Holy Mount;
          for the LORD our God [is] Holy.

Psa 100:1 (Psalm of Praise).
        Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the Earth.
Psa 100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness:
          come before His presence with singing.
Psa 100:3 Know ye that the LORD He [is] GOD:
          [it is] He [that] has made us, and not we ourselves;
          [we are] His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Psa 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
          [and] into His courts with praise:
          be thankful to Him, [and] bless His name.
Psa 100:5 For the LORD [is] good; His mercy [is] everlasting;
          and His truth [endures] from generation to generation.

Psa 101:1 (Psalm of David).
          I shall sing of mercy and judgment:
           to Thee, LORD, shall I sing-psalms.
Psa 101:2 I shall behave myself wisely in a perfect way.
           When shall Thou come to me?
          I shall walk within My house with a perfect heart.
Psa 101:3 I shall set no worthless thing before my eyes:
          I hate the work of them that turn aside;
          it shall not cleave to me.
Psa 101:4 A perverse heart shall depart from me:
          I shall not know a wicked [person].
Psa 101:5
          Whoever privily slanders his neighbour, him shall I cut off:
          him that has a high look and a proud heart I shall not endure.
Psa 101:6 My eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land,
          that they may dwell with Me:
          He who walks in a perfect way shall serve Me.
Psa 101:7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within My house:
          he who tells lies shall not tarry in My sight.
Psa 101:8 I shall early destroy all the wicked of the land;
           that I may cut off all workers of lawlessness from the city of the LORD.

Psa 102:1 (Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and pours out his complaint before the LORD).
        Hear my prayer, LORD, and let my cry come to Thee.
Psa 102:2 Hide not Thy face from me in the day [when] I [am] in trouble;
           incline Thy ear to me: in the day [when] I call, answer me speedily.
Psa 102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke,
           and my bones are burned as a hearth.
Psa 102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass;
           so that I forget to eat my bread.
Psa 102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning,
           my bones cleave to my skin.
Psa 102:6 I have been like a pelican of the wilderness:
          I have been like a little owl of the desert.
Psa 102:7 I watch, and [am] as a sparrow alone upon the roof.
Psa 102:8 My enemies reproach me all the day;
          [and] they that are enraged against me are sworn against me.
Psa 102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
           and mingled my drink with weeping,
Psa 102:10 because of Thy indignation and Thy wrath:
            for Thou have lifted me up, and cast me down.
Psa 102:11 My days [are] like a shadow that declines;
            and I [am] withered like grass.
Psa 102:12 But Thou, LORD, shall endure forever;
            and Thy remembrance from generation to generation.
Psa 102:13 Thou shall arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion:
           for the time to favour her, for the set time, is come.
Psa 102:14 For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
            and favour its dust.
Psa 102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD:
            and all the kings of the Earth Thy glory.
Psa 102:16 When the LORD shall build up Zion,
           He shall appear in His glory.
Psa 102:17 He shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
            and not despise their prayer.
Psa 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come:
            and the people which shall be created shall HalleluJaH!
Psa 102:19
           For He has looked down from the height of His Sanctuary;
            from Heaven has the LORD beheld the Earth;
Psa 102:20 to hear the groaning of the prisoner;
           to loose those that are sons of death;
Psa 102:21 to declare the name of the LORD in Zion,
            and His praise in Jerusalem;
Psa 102:22 when the people are assembled,
            and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
Psa 102:23 He weakened my strength in the way;
           He shortened my days.
Psa 102:24 I said, my God, take me not away in the middle of my days:
            Thy years [are] throughout all generations.
Psa 102:25 Thou, LORD, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the Earth,
            and the Heavens are the works of Thy hands. [Heb 1:10]
Psa 102:26 They shall perish; but Thou remain: and they all shall become old as does a garment;
            as a vesture shall Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: [Heb 1:11-12]
Psa 102:27 but Thou are the same, and Thy years shall not fail. [Heb 1:12]
Psa 102:28 The sons of Thy servants shall continue,
            and their seed shall be established before Thee.

Psa 103:1 ([Psalm] of David).
          Bless the LORD, my soul:
           and all that is within me, [bless] His Holy name.
Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, my soul,
            and forget not all His benefits:
Psa 103:3 who forgives all Thy iniquities;
          who heals all Thy diseases;
Psa 103:4 who redeems Thy life from destruction;
          who crowns Thee with kindness and tender mercies;
Psa 103:5 who satisfies Thy mouth with good [things];
          [so that] Thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psa 103:6 And the LORD executes righteousness,
           and judgment for all that are oppressed.
Psa 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses,
          His acts to the sons of Israel.
Psa 103:8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious,
           slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
Psa 103:9 He shall not always chide:
           neither shall He keep [His anger] forever.
Psa 103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins;
            nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Psa 103:11 For as the Heaven is high above the Earth,
           [so] great is His mercy towards them that fear Him.
Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west,
           [so] far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Psa 103:13 Like as a father pities [his] sons,
           [so] the LORD pities them that fear Him.
Psa 103:14 For He knows our frame;
           He remembers that we [are] dust.
Psa 103:15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass:
            as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
Psa 103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone;
           and its place shall know it no more.
Psa 103:17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him,
            and His righteousness to sons of sons;
Psa 103:18 to such as keep His Covenant,
            and to those that remember His precepts to do them.
Psa 103:19 The LORD has prepared His throne in the Heavens;
             and His Kingdom rules over all.
Psa 103:20 Bless the LORD, ye His Angels,
            that excel in strength, that do His Commandments,
            listening to the voice of His word.
Psa 103:21 Bless the LORD, all [ye] His Armies;
            [ye] ministers of His, that do His pleasure.
Psa 103:22 Bless the LORD, all His works in all places of His dominion.
           Bless the LORD, my soul.

Psa 104:1 Bless the LORD, my soul.
           LORD my God, Thou are very great;
            Thou are clothed with honour and majesty;
Psa 104:2 who cover [Thyself] with light as [with] a garment:
          who stretch out the Heavens like a curtain:
Psa 104:3 who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters:
          who makes the clouds his chariot:
          who walks upon the wings of the wind:
Psa 104:4 who makes His Angels spirits,
          and His ministers a flame of fire. [Heb 1:7]
Psa 104:5 [Who] laid the foundations of the Earth,
           [that] it should not be removed forever.
Psa 104:6 Thou covered it with the Abyss as [with] a garment:
           the waters stood above the mountains.
Psa 104:7 At Thy rebuke they fled;
          at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away.
Psa 104:8 They go up by the mountains;
          they go down by the valleys;
           to the place which Thou have founded for them.
Psa 104:9 Thou have set a bound that they may not pass over;
          that they turn not again to cover the Earth.
Psa 104:10 He sends the springs into the valleys,
           [which] run among the mountains.
Psa 104:11 They give drink to every animal of the field:
            the wild asses quench their thirst.
Psa 104:12 By them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation,
           [which] sing among the branches.
Psa 104:13 He waters the mountains from His chambers:
            the Earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works.
Psa 104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
           and herb for the service of man:
           that He may bring forth food out of the Earth;
Psa 104:15 and wine [that] makes glad the heart of man,
           [and] oil to make [his] face to shine,
            and bread [which] strengthens man's heart.
Psa 104:16 The trees of the LORD are satisfied;
           the cedars of Lebanon, which He has planted;
Psa 104:17 where the birds make their nests:
           [as for] the stork, the fir-trees [are] her house.
Psa 104:18 The high mountains [are] a refuge for the wild goats;
           [and] the rocks for the [rock] hyraxes.
Psa 104:19 He appoints the moon for seasons:
           the sun knows his going down.
Psa 104:20 Thou make darkness, and it is night:
            in which all the animals of the forest do creep [forth].
Psa 104:21 The young lions roar after their prey,
            and seek their food from God.
Psa 104:22 The sun arises, they collect,
            and lay themselves down in their dens.
Psa 104:23 Man goes forth to his work,
            and to his labour until the evening.
Psa 104:24 LORD, how manifold are Thy works!
           In wisdom have Thou made them all:
           the Earth is full of Thy riches.
Psa 104:25 [So is] this great and wide sea,
           in which [are] creeping things innumerable,
            both small and great animals.
Psa 104:26 There go the ships: [there is] that Leviathan,
           [which] Thou have made to play in it.
Psa 104:27 These wait all upon Thee;
            that Thou may give [them] their food in due season.
Psa 104:28 [That which] Thou give them, they gather:
           Thou open Thy hand, they are filled with good.
Psa 104:29 Thou hide Thy face, they are troubled:
           Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Psa 104:30 Thou send forth Thy Spirit, they are created:
           and Thou renew the face of the Earth.
Psa 104:31 The glory of the LORD shall endure forever:
            the LORD shall rejoice in His works.
Psa 104:32 He looks on the Earth, and it trembles:
           He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
Psa 104:33 I shall sing to the LORD as long as I live:
           I shall sing-psalms to my God while I have my being.
Psa 104:34 My meditation of Him shall be sweet:
           I shall be glad in the LORD.
Psa 104:35 Let sinners be consumed out of the Earth,
            and let the wicked be no more.
           Bless Thou the LORD, my soul. HalleluJaH!

Psa 105:1 Give thanks to the LORD;
          call upon His name:
          make known His deeds among the people.
Psa 105:2 Sing to Him, sing-psalms to Him:
          talk ye of all His wondrous works.
Psa 105:3 Glory ye in His Holy name:
          let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Psa 105:4 Seek the LORD, and His strength.
          Seek His face continually.
Psa 105:5 Remember His wonders that He has done;
           His wonders, and the Judgments of His mouth;
Psa 105:6 ye seed of Abraham His servant,
          ye sons of Jacob His chosen.
Psa 105:7 He [is] the LORD our God;
          His Judgments [are] in all the Earth.
Psa 105:8 He has remembered His Covenant forever,
          the word [which] He commanded to a thousand generations.
Psa 105:9 Which [Covenant] He made with Abraham,
          and His oath to Isaac;
Psa 105:10 and confirmed the same to Jacob for a Statute,
          [and] to Israel [for] an Everlasting Covenant:
Psa 105:11 saying, To Thee I shall give the land of Canaan,
           the lot of your inheritance.
Psa 105:12 When they were a few men in number;
            yes, very few, and strangers in it.
Psa 105:13 And [when] they went from nation to nation,
            from [one] kingdom to another people;
Psa 105:14
           He permitted no man to do them wrong:
            and He reproved kings for their sakes;
Psa 105:15 [saying], Touch not My anointed,
            and do My prophets no harm.
Psa 105:16 And He called for a famine upon the land:
           He broke the whole staff of bread.
Psa 105:17 He sent a man before them,
           Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:
Psa 105:18 they hurt his feet with chains;
            his soul came into iron.
Psa 105:19 Until the time that His word came:
            the word of the LORD tried him.
Psa 105:20 The king sent and loosed him;
            the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
Psa 105:21 He made him lord of his house,
            and ruler of all his substance:
Psa 105:22 to bind his princes at his [pleasure of the] soul;
            and teach his elders wisdom.
Psa 105:23 Israel also came into Egypt;
            and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Psa 105:24 And He made His people very fruitful;
            and made them stronger than their enemies.
Psa 105:25 He turned their heart to hate His people,
            to deal subtle with His servants.
Psa 105:26 He sent Moses His servant;
            [and] Aaron whom He had chosen.
Psa 105:27 They showed his signs among them,
            and wonders in the land of Ham.
Psa 105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
            and they rebelled not against His word.
Psa 105:29 He turned their waters into blood,
            and slew their fish.
Psa 105:30 Their land brought forth in abundance frogs,
            in the chambers of their kings.
Psa 105:31 He spoke, and there came swarms [of flies],
            [and] lice in all their borders.
Psa 105:32 He gave them hail for rain,
            [and] flaming fire in their land.
Psa 105:33 And He smote their vines and their fig-trees;
            and broke the trees of their borders.
Psa 105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came,
            and caterpillars without number,
Psa 105:35 and ate up all the herbs in their land,
            and devoured the fruit of their ground.
Psa 105:36 And He smote all the first-born in their land,
            the chief of all their strength.
Psa 105:37 He led them out with silver and gold:
            and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.
Psa 105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed:
            for the fear of them fell upon them.
Psa 105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering;
            and fire to give light in the night.
Psa 105:40 [The people] asked, and He brought quails,
            and satisfied them with the bread of Heaven.
Psa 105:41 He opened the Rock, and the waters gushed out;
            they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
Psa 105:42 For He remembered His Holy promise,
            [and] Abraham His servant.
Psa 105:43 And He brought forth His people with joy,
             His chosen with gladness:
Psa 105:44 and gave them the lands of the heathen:
           and they inherited the labour of the peoples;
Psa 105:45 that they might observe His Statutes,
            and keep His Laws. HalleluJaH!

Psa 106:1 HalleluJaH!
        Give thanks to the LORD; for [He is] good:
        for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD?
         [Who] can show forth all His praise?
Psa 106:3 Blessed [are] they that keep judgment,
         [and] He who does righteousness at all times!
Psa 106:4 Remember me, LORD, with the favour [that Thou bear to] Thy people:
          visit me with Thy Salvation;
Psa 106:5 that I may see the good of Thy chosen,
          that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation,
          that I may glory with Thy inheritance.
Psa 106:6 We have sinned with our fathers.
          We have committed iniquity.
          We have done wickedly.
Psa 106:7 Our fathers understood not Thy wonders in Egypt;
        they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies;
         but provoked him at the sea, at the Red Sea.
Psa 106:8 And He saved them for His name's sake,
          that He might make His mighty power to be known.
Psa 106:9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up:
          so He led them through the abysses, as through the wilderness.
Psa 106:10 And He saved them from the hand of him that hated [them],
           and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Psa 106:11 And the waters covered their enemies:
            there was not one of them left.
Psa 106:12 Then they believed His words;
           they sang His praise.
Psa 106:13 They soon forgot His works;
           they waited not for His counsel:
Psa 106:14 but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
            and tempted God in the desert.
Psa 106:15 And He gave them their request;
            but sent leanness into their soul.
Psa 106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp,
            [and] Aaron the Saint of the LORD.
Psa 106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
            and covered the company of Abiram.
Psa 106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company;
            the flame burned up the wicked.
Psa 106:19 They made a calf in Horeb,
            and worshiped the molten image.
Psa 106:20 And they changed their glory,
            into the similitude of an ox that eats grass.
Psa 106:21 They forgot God their Saviour,
            who had done great things in Egypt;
Psa 106:22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,
           awesome things by the Red Sea.
Psa 106:23 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].
Psa 106:24 And they despised the pleasant land,
            they believed not His word:
Psa 106:25 but murmured in their tents,
           [and] listened not to the voice of the LORD.
Psa 106:26 Therefore He lifted up His hand against them,
           to overthrow them in the wilderness:
Psa 106:27 to overthrow their seed also among the nations,
            and to scatter them in the lands.
Psa 106:28 They joined themselves also to Baal-peor,
            and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Psa 106:29 And they provoked Him to anger with their inventions:
            and the plague broke in upon them.
Psa 106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment:
           and [so] the plague was stayed.
Psa 106:31 And that was counted to him for righteousness,
            from generation to generation forever.
Psa 106:32 They angered Him also at the waters of strife,
            so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
Psa 106:33 because they provoked his spirit,
            so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
Psa 106:34 They did not destroy the nations,
            concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
Psa 106:35 but were mingled among the heathen,
            and learned their works.
Psa 106:36 And they served their idols:
            which were a snare to them.
Psa 106:37 And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
Psa 106:38 and shed innocent blood,
           the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
           whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan:
           and the land was polluted with blood.
Psa 106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works,
            and played the whore with their own inventions.
Psa 106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people,
            so that He abhorred His own inheritance.
Psa 106:41 And He gave them into the hand of the heathen;
             and they that hated them ruled over them.
Psa 106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
            and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
Psa 106:43 Many times did He deliver them;
            but they provoked Him with their counsel;
            and were brought low for their iniquity.
Psa 106:44 And He regarded their affliction,
            when He heard their cry:
Psa 106:45 And He remembered for them His Covenant,
            and relented according to the multitude of His mercies.
Psa 106:46 And He made them to be pitied,
            by all those that carried them captives.
Psa 106:47 Save us, LORD our God,
            and gather us from among the heathen,
            to give thanks to Thy Holy name,
            [and] to triumph in Thy praise.
Psa 106:48 Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel,
            from everlasting to everlasting!
            And let all the people say, Amen! HalleluJaH!

Psa 107:1 {Part 5}.
        Give thanks to the LORD; for [He is] good:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so],
          whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
Psa 107:3 and gathered them out of the lands,
           from the east, and from the west,
           from the north, and from the sea{in the south}.
Psa 107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;
           they found no city to dwell in.
Psa 107:5 Hungry and thirsty,
           their soul fainted in them.
Psa 107:6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
           [and] He delivered them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:7 And He led them forth by the right way,
           that they might go to a city of habitation.
Psa 107:8 That [men] would praise the LORD [for] His goodness,
           and [for] His wonders to the sons of men!
Psa 107:9
           For he satisfies the longing soul,
            and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
Psa 107:10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shades of death,
           [being] prisoners in affliction and iron;
Psa 107:11 because they rebelled against the words of God,
            and despised the counsel of the Most High:
Psa 107:12 and He brought down their heart with labour;
            they fell down, and [there was] none to help.
Psa 107:13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
           [and] He delivered them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shades of death,
           and broke their bands asunder.
Psa 107:15 That [men] would praise the LORD [for] His goodness,
           and [for] His wonders to the sons of men!
Psa 107:16
        For He has broken the gates of bronze,
           and cut the bars of iron asunder.
Psa 107:17 Fools, because of their transgression,
            and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Psa 107:18 Their soul abhors all manner of food;
            and they draw near to the gates of death.
Psa 107:19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
           [and] He delivered them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:20 He sent His word, and healed them,
            and delivered [them] from their destructions.
Psa 107:21 That [men] would praise the LORD [for] His goodness,
            and [for] His wonders to the sons of men!
Psa 107:22
           And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
            and declare His works with rejoicing.
Psa 107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships,
            that do business on great waters;
Psa 107:24 these see the works of the LORD,
            and his wonders in the deep.
Psa 107:25 For He commands, and raises the stormy wind,
            which lifts up its waves.
Psa 107:26 They mount up to the Heavens,
           they go down to the abysses:
           their soul is melted because of trouble.
Psa 107:27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man,
            and are at their wisdom end.
Psa 107:28 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
            and He brings them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:29 He makes the storm a calm,
            so that the waves are still.
Psa 107:30 Then are they glad because they are quiet;
            so He brings them to their desired haven.
Psa 107:31 That [men] would praise the LORD [for] His goodness,
            and [for] His wonders to the sons of men!
Psa 107:32
           Let them exalt Him also in the Congregation of the people,
            and Praise Him in the assembly of the elders.
Psa 107:33 He turns rivers into a wilderness,
           and the water-springs into dry ground;
Psa 107:34 a fruitful land into saltiness{barrenness},
           for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.
Psa 107:35 He turns the wilderness into a standing water,
            and dry ground into water-springs.
Psa 107:36 And there He makes the hungry to dwell,
           that they may prepare a city for habitation;
Psa 107:37 and sow the fields, and plant vineyards,
            which may yield fruits of increase.
Psa 107:38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
            and permits not their cattle to decrease.
Psa 107:39 Again, they are diminished and brought low,
           through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
Psa 107:40 He pours contempt upon princes,
            and causes them to wander in the wilderness,
            [where there is] no way.
Psa 107:41 Yet He sets the poor on high from affliction,
            and makes him families like a flock.
Psa 107:42 The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice:
            and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
Psa 107:43 Whoever [is] wise, and shall observe these [things],
            even they shall understand the kindness of the LORD.

Psa 108:1 (Psalm [and] Song of David).
         GOD, my heart is fixed;
          I shall sing and sing-psalms, even with My glory.
Psa 108:2 Awake, psaltery and harp:
          I shall awake early.
Psa 108:3 I shall praise Thee, LORD, among the people:
          and I shall sing-psalms to Thee among the nations.
Psa 108:4 For Thy mercy [is] great above the Heavens:
          and Thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
Psa 108:5 Be Thou exalted, GOD, above the Heavens:
           and Thy glory above all the Earth.
Psa 108:6 That Thy beloved may be rescued;
          save [with] Thy right hand, and answer me.
Psa 108:7 GOD has spoken in His Holiness; I shall rejoice,
           I shall divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
Psa 108:8 Gilead [is] Mine; Manasseh [is] Mine;
          Ephraim also [is] the strength of My head;
          Judah [is] My lawgiver;
Psa 108:9 Moab [is] My wash pot;
          over Edom shall I cast out My shoe;
          over Philistia shall I triumph.
Psa 108:10 Who shall bring me into the strong city?
           Who shall lead me into Edom?
Psa 108:11 [Will] not [Thou], GOD, [who] have cast us off?
        And shall not Thou, GOD, go forth with our armies?
Psa 108:12 Give us help from trouble:
           for vain [is] the help of man.
Psa 108:13 Through GOD we shall do valiantly:
           for He shall tread down our enemies.

Psa 109:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
         Hold not Thy peace, God of my praise;
Psa 109:2 for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:
          they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
Psa 109:3 They surrounded me also with words of hatred;
          and fought against me without cause.
Psa 109:4 For my love they are my adversaries:
           but I [give myself to] prayer.
Psa 109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good,
          and hatred for my love.
Psa 109:6 Set Thou a wicked man over him:
           and let Satan stand at his right hand.
Psa 109:7 When he shall be judged,
           let him be condemned:
       and let his prayer become sin.
Psa 109:8  Let his days be few;
           [and] let another take his overseership{bishop}. [Act 1:20]
Psa 109:9  Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Psa 109:10 Let his sons be continually vagabonds, and beg:
           let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.
Psa 109:11 Let the extortioner catch all that He has;
            and let strangers spoil his labour.
Psa 109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him:
           neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
Psa 109:13 Let his posterity be cut off;
            [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Psa 109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD;
            and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Psa 109:15 Let them be before the LORD continually,
            that He may cut off the memory of them from the Earth;
Psa 109:16 because that he remembered not to show mercy,
            but persecuted the poor and needy man,
            that he might even slay the broken in heart.
Psa 109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to him:
           as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
Psa 109:18 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.
Psa 109:19 Let it be to him as the garment [which] covers him,
           and for a girdle with which he is girded continually.
Psa 109:20 [Let] this [be] the reward of my adversaries from the LORD,
           and of them that speak evil against my soul.
Psa 109:21
           But do Thou for me, Lord JeHoVaH, for Thy name's sake:
            because Thy mercy [is] good, deliver Thou me.
Psa 109:22 For I [am] poor and needy,
            and my heart is wounded within me.
Psa 109:23 I [am] gone like the shadow when it declines:
           I [am] tossed up and down as the locust.
Psa 109:24 My knees are weak through fasting;
           and my flesh fails of fatness.
Psa 109:25 I have been also a reproach to them:
            [when] they looked upon me they shook their heads.
Psa 109:26 Help me, LORD my God:
           save me according to Thy mercy:
Psa 109:27 that they may know that this [is] Thy hand;
           [that] Thou, LORD, have done it.
Psa 109:28 Let them curse, but bless Thou: when they arise,
           let them be ashamed; but let Thy servant rejoice.
Psa 109:29 Let my adversaries be clothed with shame,
           and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
Psa 109:30 I shall greatly praise the LORD with my mouth;
           yes, I shall Praise Him among the multitude.
Psa 109:31 For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor,
           to save him from those that judging his soul.

Psa 110:1 (Psalm of David).
        The LORD said to my Lord, Sit Thou at My right [hand],
         until I make Thy enemies Thy stool of Thy feet. [Mat 22:44 Mar 12:36]
Psa 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of Thy strength out of Zion:
           rule Thou in the middle of Thy enemies.
Psa 110:3 Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of Thy power, in the beauties of Holiness:
          from the womb of the morning, Thou have the dew of Thy youth.
Psa 110:4 The LORD has sworn, and shall not repent,
           Thou [are] a Priest forever after the order of Melchisedek. [Heb 7:21 Heb 5:6 Heb 7:17]
Psa 110:5 The Lord at Thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of His wrath.
Psa 110:6 He shall judge among the heathen,
          He shall fill with the [dead] bodies;
          He shall wound the heads over many countries.
Psa 110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way:
           therefore shall He lift up the head.

Psa 111:1 HalleluJaH!
           [(A)]<I shall praise> the LORD with [my] whole heart,
           [(B)]<in the assembly> of the upright, and [in] the Congregation.

           [(O)]<done> in truth and uprightness.
Psa 111:9  [(P)]<Redemption> sent He to His people:

           [(Q)]<Holy> and Reverend [is] His name.
Psa 111:10 [(R)]<The beginning> of wisdom [is] the fear of the LORD:

Psa 112:1 HalleluJaH!

Psa 112:5  [(Th)]<A good> man shows favour, and lends:

           [(N)]<fixed> is his heart, trusting in the LORD.
Psa 112:8  [(X)]<Established> [is] his heart, he shall not be afraid,
           [(O)]<until> he sees [his desire] upon his enemies.
Psa 112:9  [(P)]<He has dispersed>, He gave to the poor;
           [(C)]<His righteousness> remains forever;
           [(Q)]<His Horn> shall be exalted with honour. [2Co 9:9]
Psa 112:10 [(R)]<The wicked> shall see [it], and be grieved;
           [(S)]<with his teeth> he shall gnash, and melt away:
           [(T)][the] <desire> of the wicked shall perish.

Psa 113:1 HalleluJaH!
          Praise, ye servants of the LORD.
          Praise the name of the LORD.
Psa 113:2 Be Blessed the name of the LORD from now on and forever!
Psa 113:3 From the rising to the setting of the sun,
          the LORD's name [is] to be praised.
Psa 113:4 The LORD [is] high above all nations,
          [and] His glory above the Heavens.
Psa 113:5 Who [is] like to the LORD our God,
          who dwells on high.
Psa 113:6 Who humbles [himself] to behold,
          [the things that are] in Heaven, and in the Earth!
Psa 113:7 He raises the poor out of the dust,
          [and] lifts the needy out of the dunghill;
Psa 113:8 that He may set him with princes,
          with the princes of His people.
Psa 113:9 He makes the barren woman to keep house,
          [and to be] a joyful mother of sons.
          HalleluJaH!
Psa 114:1 When Israel went out of Egypt,
          the House of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;
Psa 114:2 Judah was His Sanctuary,
          Israel His dominion.
Psa 114:3 The sea saw [it], and fled:
          the Jordan was driven back.
Psa 114:4 The mountains skipped like rams,
          the little hills, like the sons of the flock.
Psa 114:5 What [ailed] Thee, Thou sea, that Thou fled?
          Thou the Jordan, [that] Thou were driven back?
Psa 114:6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams;
          ye little hills, like the sons of the flock?
Psa 114:7 Tremble, Thou Earth,
          at the presence of the Lord,
          at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Psa 114:8 who turned the Rock [into] a standing water,
          the flint into a fountain of waters.

Psa 115:1 Not to us, LORD, not to us,
          but to Thy name give glory,
          for Thy mercy, [and] for Thy truth's sake.
Psa 115:2 Why should the heathen say,
          Where [is] now their God?
Psa 115:3 But our God [is] in the Heavens:
          He has done whatever He pleased.
Psa 115:4 Their idols [are] silver and gold;
          the work of men's hands;
Psa 115:5 they have mouths, but they speak not:
           eyes have they, but they see not:
Psa 115:6 they have ears, but they hear not:
           noses have they, but they smell not:
Psa 115:7 they have hands, but they handle not:
           feet have they, but they walk not:
           neither speak they through their throat;
Psa 115:8 they that make them are like them;
           [so is] every one that trusts in them.
Psa 115:9 Israel, trust Thou in the LORD:
           He [is] their Help and their Shield.
Psa 115:10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD:
           He [is] their Help and their Shield.
Psa 115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD:
           He [is] their Help and their Shield.
Psa 115:12 The LORD has been mindful of us:
           He shall bless [us];
           He shall bless the House of Israel;
           He shall bless the House of Aaron.
Psa 115:13 He shall bless them that fear the LORD,
           [both] small and great.
Psa 115:14 The LORD shall increase you more,
           you and your sons.
Psa 115:15 Ye [are] blessed of the LORD,
            who made Heavens and Earth.
Psa 115:16 The Heaven and the Heavens of Heavens [belongs] to the LORD:
           but the Earth has He given to the sons of men. [Deu 10:14]
Psa 115:17 The dead do not praise JaH,
            neither any that go down into silence.
Psa 115:18 But we shall bless JaH,
           from now on and forever. HalleluJaH!

Psa 116:1 I love the LORD,
          because He has heard my voice [and] my supplications;
Psa 116:2 because He has inclined His ear to me,
          therefore shall I call upon [Him] as long as I live.
Psa 116:3 The sorrows of death surrounded me,
          and the pains of Sheol came upon me:
          I found trouble and sorrow.
Psa 116:4 Then I call on the name of the LORD;
           LORD, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul.
Psa 116:5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous;
          yes, our God [is] merciful.
Psa 116:6 The LORD preserves the simple:
           I was brought low, and He helped me.
Psa 116:7
         Return to Thy rest, my soul;
          for the LORD has dealt bountifully with Thee.
Psa 116:8 For Thou have rescued my soul from death,
           my eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.
Psa 116:9 I shall walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Psa 116:10 I believed, and therefore have I spoken:
           I was greatly afflicted: [2Co 4:13]
Psa 116:11 I said in My haste, All men [are] liars.
Psa 116:12 What shall I render to the LORD,
           [for] all his benefits towards me?
Psa 116:13 I shall take the Cup of Salvation,
            and call on the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:14 I shall pay my vows to the LORD,
            now in the presence of all His people.
Psa 116:15 Precious in the eyes of the LORD,
            [is] the death of His Saints.
Psa 116:16 LORD, truly I [am] Thy servant;
           I [am] Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid:
           Thou have loosed my bonds.
Psa 116:17 I shall offer to Thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
           and shall call on the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:18 I shall pay my vows to the LORD,
            now in the presence of all His people,
Psa 116:19 in the courts of the LORD's House,
           in the middle of Thee, Jerusalem. HalleluJaH!

Psa 117:1 Praise the LORD, all ye nations;
        and laud Him, all [ye] peoples. [Rom 15:11]
Psa 117:2 For His mercy is great towards us:
        and the truth of the LORD [endures] forever. HalleluJaH!

Psa 118:1 Give thanks to the LORD; for [He is] good:
        for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 118:2 Let Israel now say:
        for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 118:3 Let the House of Aaron now say:
        for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say:
        for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 118:5
        I called upon JaH in distress:
        JaH answered me, [and set me] in a large place.
Psa 118:6 The LORD [is] my Helper,
          and I shall not fear what man shall do to me. [Heb 13:6]
Psa 118:7 The LORD takes my part with them that help me:
          therefore shall I see my [desire] upon them that hate me.
Psa 118:8 Better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Psa 118:9 Better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
Psa 118:10
          All nations surrounded me:
           but in the name of the LORD I shall destroy them.
Psa 118:11 They surrounded me; yes, they surrounded me:
           but in the name of the LORD I shall destroy them.
Psa 118:12 They surrounded me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
           but in the name of the LORD I shall destroy them.
Psa 118:13 Thou have violently thrust at me that I might fall:
            but the LORD helped me.
Psa 118:14
          JaH [is] my Strength and Song,
           and is become my Salvation.
Psa 118:15
          The voice of rejoicing and Salvation [is] in the Tabernacles of the righteous:
           the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
Psa 118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted:
           the right hand of the LORD does valiantly.
Psa 118:17 I shall not die, but live,
            and declare the works of JaH.
Psa 118:18 JaH has chastened me severely:
            but He has not given me over to death.
Psa 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness:
           I shall enter them, [and] I shall praise JaH:
Psa 118:20 this gate of the LORD,
          into which the righteous shall enter.
Psa 118:21
          I shall praise Thee:
           for Thou have heard me,
           and are become my Salvation.
Psa 118:22
          [The] stone which the builders rejected,
           for this has become [the] head of [the] corner. [Mat 21:42]
Psa 118:23 This came from the LORD,
            and it is marvellous in our eyes? [Mat 21:42 Mar 12:11]
Psa 118:24 This [is] the day [which] the LORD has made;
            we shall rejoice and be glad in it.
Psa 118:25
            I beseech Thee, LORD Hosanna{save now} LORD,
            I beseech Thee, prosper now.
Psa 118:26 <Blessed [is] He who coming in the name of the LORD>!
            We have blessed you out of the House of the LORD! [Mar 11:9]
Psa 118:27 God [is] the LORD, who has shown us light:
            bind the sacrifice with cords, to the horns of the Altar.
Psa 118:28 Thou [are] my God, and I shall praise Thee:
           Thou [are] my God, I shall exalt Thee.
Psa 118:29
          Give thanks to the LORD; for [He is] good:
          for His mercy [endures] forever.

Psa 119:1  [(A)]<Blessed> [are] the undefiled in the way,
            who walk in the Law of the LORD!
Psa 119:2  [(A)]<Blessed> [are] they that keep His Testimonies,
            [and that] seek Him with the whole heart!
Psa 119:3  [(A)]<Also> they do no iniquity:
            they walk in His ways.
Psa 119:4  [(A)]<Thou> have commanded [us],
            to keep Thy precepts diligently.
Psa 119:5  [(A)]<Oh> would that my ways were directed,
            to keep Thy Statutes!
Psa 119:6  [(A)]<Then> shall I not be ashamed,
            when I have respect to all Thy Commandments.
Psa 119:7  [(A)]<I shall praise> Thee with uprightness of heart,
            when I shall have learned Thy righteous Judgments.
Psa 119:8  [(A)](<At>) I shall keep Thy Statutes:
                 forsake me not utterly.

Psa 119:9  [(B)]<How> shall a young man cleanse his way?
            By taking heed [to it], according to Thy word.
Psa 119:10 [(B)]With my <whole> heart have I sought Thee:
            let me not wander from Thy Commandments.
Psa 119:11 [(B)]<In my heart> have I hid Thy word,
            that I might not sin against Thee.
Psa 119:12 [(B)]<Blessed> [are] Thou,
           LORD: teach me Thy Statutes!
Psa 119:13 [(B)]<With my lips> have I declared,
            all the Judgments of Thy mouth.
Psa 119:14 [(B)]<In the way> of Thy Testimonies have I rejoiced,
            as [much as] in all riches.
Psa 119:15 [(B)]<In Thy Precepts> I shall meditate,
            and have respect to Thy ways.
Psa 119:16 [(B)]<In Thy Statutes> I shall delight myself:
             I shall not forget Thy word.

Psa 119:17 [(G)]<Deal bountifully> with Thy servant,
           [that] I may live, and keep Thy word.
Psa 119:18 [(G)]<Open> Thou my eyes,
            that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy Law.
Psa 119:19 [(G)]<I [am] a stranger> in the Earth:
            hide not Thy Commandments from me.
Psa 119:20 [(G)]My soul <breaks> for the longing,
            [that it has] to Thy Judgments at all times.
Psa 119:21 [(G)]<Thou have rebuked> the proud [that are] cursed,
            who go astray from Thy Commandments.
Psa 119:22 [(G)]<Turn off> from me reproach and contempt;
             for I have kept Thy Testimonies.
Psa 119:23 [(G)]<Also> Princes did sit [and] speak against me:
            [but] Thy servant did meditate in Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:24 [(G)]<Also> Thy Testimonies [are] my delight, [and] my counsel.

Psa 119:25 [(D)]My soul <cleaves> to the dust:
            revive Thou me according to Thy word.
Psa 119:26 [(D)]<My ways> have I declared, and Thou heard me:
            teach me Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:27 [(D)][The] <way> of Thy precepts; make me to understand:
             so shall I talk of Thy wondrous works.
Psa 119:28 [(D)]My soul <melts> for heaviness:
             strengthen Thou me according to Thy word.
Psa 119:29 [(D)][The] <way> of lying; remove [this] from me:
             and grant me Thy Law graciously.
Psa 119:30 [(D)][The] <way> of truth have I chosen:
             Thy Judgments have I laid [before me].
Psa 119:31 [(D)]<I have adhered> to Thy Testimonies:
            LORD, put me not to shame.
Psa 119:32 [(D)][The] <way> of Thy Commandments shall I run,
             when Thou shall enlarge my heart.

Psa 119:33 [(E)]<Teach me>, LORD, the way of Thy Statutes;
             and I shall keep it [to] the end.
Psa 119:34 [(E)]<Give me understanding>, and I shall keep Thy Law;
             yes, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Psa 119:35 [(E)]<Make me to go> in the path of Thy Commandments;
             for in that do I delight.
Psa 119:36 [(E)]<Incline> my heart to Thy Testimonies,
             and not to covetousness.
Psa 119:37 [(E)]<Turn away> my eyes from beholding vanity;
            [and] revive Thou me in Thy way.
Psa 119:38 [(E)]<Establish> Thy word to Thy servant,
             who [is devoted] to Thy fear.
Psa 119:39 [(E)]<Turn away> my reproach which I fear:
             for Thy Judgments [are] good.
Psa 119:40 [(E)]<Behold>, I have longed after Thy precepts:
             revive me in Thy righteousness.

Psa 119:41 [(V)]<And> Let Thy mercies <come> also to me, LORD,
            Thy Salvation, according to Thy word.
Psa 119:42 [(V)]<And answer him> who is reproaching me a word,
             For I have trusted in Thy word.
Psa 119:43 [(V)]<And> take <not> the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;
             for I have hoped in Thy Judgment.
Psa 119:44 [(V)]<And I shall keep> Thy Law continually,
             forever and ever.
Psa 119:45 [(V)]<And shall walk> at liberty:
             for I seek Thy precepts.
Psa 119:46 [(V)]<And shall speak> of Thy Testimonies also before kings,
            and shall not be ashamed.
Psa 119:47 [(V)]<And shall delight> myself in Thy Commandments,
             which I have loved.
Psa 119:48 [(V)]<And shall lift> also my hands to Thy Commandments,
             which I have loved; and I shall meditate in Thy Statutes.

Psa 119:49 [(Z)]<Remember> the word to Thy servant,
            upon which Thou have caused me to hope.
Psa 119:50 [(Z)]<Likewise> this [is] my comfort in my affliction:
            for Thy word has revived me.
Psa 119:51 [(Z)]<The proud> have had me greatly in derision:
            [yet] I have not declined from Thy Law.
Psa 119:52 [(Z)]<I remembered> Thy Judgments of old, LORD;
             and have comforted myself.
Psa 119:53 [(Z)]<Scorch> has taken hold upon me,
             because of the wicked that forsake Thy Law.
Psa 119:54 [(Z)]Thy Statutes <have been my songs>,
            in the house of my pilgrimage.
Psa 119:55 [(Z)]<I have remembered> Thy name, LORD,
            in the night, and have kept Thy Law.
Psa 119:56 [(Z)]<Likewise>, this I had,
                because I kept Thy precepts.

Psa 119:57 [(H)]<My portion> [are Thou], LORD:
                 I have said that I would keep Thy words.
Psa 119:58 [(H)]<I entreated> Thy favour with my whole heart:
             be merciful to me according to Thy word.
Psa 119:59 [(H)]<I thought> on my ways,
             and turned my feet to Thy Testimonies.
Psa 119:60 [(H)]<I made haste>,
            and delayed not to keep Thy Commandments.
Psa 119:61 [(H)]<The bands> of the wicked have robbed me:
            [but] I have not forgotten Thy Law.
Psa 119:62 [(H)]<At midnight> I shall rise to give thanks to Thee,
             because of Thy righteous Judgments.
Psa 119:63 [(H)]<I [am] a companion> of all [them] that fear Thee,
            and of them that keep Thy precepts.
Psa 119:64 [(H)]Full <of Thy mercy> is the Earth, LORD:
             teach me Thy Statutes.

Psa 119:65 [(Th)]Thou have dealt <well> with Thy servant,
            LORD, according to Thy word.
Psa 119:66 [(Th)]Teach <me good> judgment and knowledge:
             for I have believed Thy Commandments.
Psa 119:67 [(Th)]<Before> I was afflicted I went astray:
            but now have I kept Thy word.
Psa 119:68 [(Th)]<Good [are] Thou>, and do good;
             teach me Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:69 [(Th)]The proud <have forged> a lie against me:
            [but] I shall keep Thy precepts with my whole heart.
Psa 119:70 [(Th)]<Gross> as fat is their heart;
            [but] I delight in Thy Law.
Psa 119:71 [(Th)]<Good> is for me that I have been afflicted;
             that I might learn Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:72 [(Th)]<Better> is the Law of Thy mouth to me,
             than thousands of gold and silver.

Psa 119:73 [(J)]<Thy hands> have made me and fashioned me:
             give me understanding, that I may learn Thy Commandments.
Psa 119:74 [(J)]<They that fear> Thee shall be glad when they see me;
             because I have hoped in Thy word.
Psa 119:75 [(J)]<I know>, LORD, that Thy Judgments [are] right,
            and [that] Thou in faithfulness have afflicted me.
Psa 119:76 [(J)]<Let>, I pray Thee, Thy merciful kindness be for my comfort,
             according to Thy word to Thy servant.
Psa 119:77 [(J)]Let Thy tender mercies <come> to me,
            that I may live: for Thy Law [is] my delight.
Psa 119:78 [(J)]Let the proud <be ashamed>; for they dealt perversely with me without cause:
           [but] I shall meditate in Thy precepts.
Psa 119:79 [(J)]Let those that fear <Thee turn> to me,
            and those that have known Thy Testimonies.
Psa 119:80 [(J)]<Let> my heart be sound in Thy Statutes;
             that I may not be ashamed.

Psa 119:81 [(K)]My soul <faints> for Thy Salvation:
            [but] I hope in Thy word.
Psa 119:82 [(K)]My eyes <fail> for Thy word,
            saying, When shall Thou comfort me?
Psa 119:83 [(K)]<For> I have been like a bottle in the smoke;
            [yet] I do not forget Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:84 [(K)]<How> many [are] the days of Thy servant?
             When shall Thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
Psa 119:85 [(K)]The proud <have dug> pits for me,
            which [are] not according to Thy Law.
Psa 119:86 [(K)]<All> Thy Commandments [are] faithful:
            they persecute me wrongfully; help Thou me.
Psa 119:87 [(K)]<They had almost> consumed me upon Earth;
             but I forsook not Thy precepts.
Psa 119:88 [(K)]Revive me <after Thy kindness>;
            so shall I keep the testimony of Thy mouth.

Psa 119:89 [(L)]<Forever>, LORD,
            Thy word is settled in Heaven.
Psa 119:90 [(L)]<From> generation to generation [is] Thy faithfulness:
            Thou have established the Earth, and it stays.
Psa 119:91 [(L)]<According to Thy ordinances> They continue this day:
            for all [are] Thy servants.
Psa 119:92 [(L)]<Unless> Thy Law [had been] my delights,
            I should then have perished in my affliction.
Psa 119:93 [(L)]<I shall never> forget Thy precepts:
            for with them Thou have revived me.
Psa 119:94 [(L)](<Leka>) I [am] Thy, save me;
            for I have sought Thy precepts.
Psa 119:95 [(L)](<Leka>) The wicked have waited for me to destroy me:
            [but] I shall consider Thy Testimonies.
Psa 119:96 [(L)]<Of all> perfection I have seen an end:
            [but] Thy Commandment [is] exceeding broad.

Psa 119:97  [(M)]<How> I love Thy Law!
             It [is] my meditation all the day.
Psa 119:98  [(M)]Thou make me wiser <than my enemies> by Thy Commandment;
              for she, [the Commandment, is] forever mine.
Psa 119:99  [(M)]More understanding than <all> my teachers I have:
              for Thy Testimonies [are] my meditation.
Psa 119:100 [(M)]I understand <more than the ancients>,
              because I keep Thy precepts.
Psa 119:101 [(M)]From <every> evil way I have refrained my feet,
              that I might keep Thy word.
Psa 119:102 [(M)]<From Thy Judgments> have I not departed:
              for Thou have taught me.
Psa 119:103 [(M)]<How> sweet are Thy words to my taste!
             [More] than honey to my mouth!
Psa 119:104 [(M)]<Through Thy precepts> I get understanding:
              therefore I hate every false way.

Psa 119:105 [(N)]<A lamp> to my feet [is] Thy word,
              and a Light to my path.
Psa 119:106 [(N)]<I have sworn>, and I shall perform [it],
             that I shall keep Thy righteous Judgments.
Psa 119:107 [(N)]<I [am] afflicted> very much:
             revive me, LORD, according to Thy word.
Psa 119:108 [(N)]Accept [the] <free-will-offerings> of my mouth,
             please LORD, and teach me Thy Judgments.
Psa 119:109 [(N)]<My soul> [is] continually in my hand:
             yet I do not forget Thy Law.
Psa 119:110 [(N)]The wicked <have laid> a snare for me:
             yet I erred not from Thy precepts.
Psa 119:111 [(N)]<I have inherited> Thy Testimonies forever:
             for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart.
Psa 119:112 [(N)]<I have inclined> my heart:
             to perform Thy Statutes always, [to] the end.

Psa 119:113 [(X)]<Double minded> [thoughts do] I hate:
             but Thy Law do I love.
Psa 119:114 [(X)]<Thou [are] my Hiding-place> and my Shield:
             I hope in Thy word.
Psa 119:115 [(X)]<Depart> from me, ye evil-doers:
             for I shall keep the Commandments of my God.
Psa 119:116 [(X)]<Uphold me> according to Thy word, that I may live:
              and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
Psa 119:117 [(X)]<Support me>, and I shall be safe:
             and I shall have respect to Thy Statutes continually.
Psa 119:118 [(X)]<Thou have trodden down> all them who go astray from Thy Statutes:
              for their deceit is falsehood.
Psa 119:119 [(X)]Like <dross> Thou put away all the wicked of the Earth:
             therefore I love Thy Testimonies.
Psa 119:120 [(X)]My flesh <trembles> for fear of Thee;
              and I [am] afraid of Thy Judgments.

Psa 119:121 [(O)]I <have done> judgment and justice;
             leave me not to my oppressors.
Psa 119:122 [(O)]<Be surety> for Thy servant for good:
             let not the proud oppress me.
Psa 119:123 [(O)]<My eyes> fail for Thy Salvation,
             and for the word of Thy righteousness.
Psa 119:124 [(O)]<Deal> with Thy servant according to Thy mercy,
             and teach me Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:125 [(O)]<I [am] Thy servant>; give me understanding,
             that I may know Thy Testimonies.
Psa 119:126 [(O)]<Time> for the LORD to work:
              they have made void Thy Law.
Psa 119:127 [(O)]<And> so I love Thy Commandments,
              above gold; even fine gold.
Psa 119:128 [(O)]<And> so I esteem all [Thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] straight;
              [and] I hate every false way.

Psa 119:129 [(P)]<Wonderful> [are] Thy Testimonies:
             therefore does my soul keep them.
Psa 119:130 [(P)]<The entrance> of Thy words gives light;
             it gives understanding to the simple.
Psa 119:131 [(P)]I opened <my mouth>, and panted:
             for I longed for Thy Commandments.
Psa 119:132 [(P)]<Turn> Thou upon me and be merciful to me,
             as Thou use to do to those that love Thy name.
Psa 119:133 [(P)]Order <my steps> in Thy word:
              and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Psa 119:134 [(P)]<Redeem> me from the oppression of man:
              so I shall keep Thy precepts.
Psa 119:135 [(P)]<Make Thy face> to shine upon Thy servant:
               and teach me Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:136 [(P)]<Rivers> of waters run down my eyes,
               because they keep not Thy Law.

Psa 119:137 [(C)]<Righteous> [are] Thou, LORD,
             and upright [are] Thy Judgments.
Psa 119:138 [(C)]<Thou have commanded> Thy Testimonies,
             in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.
Psa 119:139 [(C)]My zeal <has consumed> me;
              because my enemies have forgotten Thy words.
Psa 119:140 [(C)]Very <pure> [is] Thy word:
              therefore Thy servant loves it.
Psa 119:141 [(C)]<I [am] small> and despised:
             [yet] I do not forget Thy precepts.
Psa 119:142 [(C)]<Thy righteousness> [is] an everlasting righteousness,
             and Thy Law [is] the truth.
Psa 119:143 [(C)]<Trouble> and anguish have taken hold on me:
             [yet] Thy Commandments [are] my delights.
Psa 119:144 [(C)]<The righteousness> of Thy Testimonies [is] everlasting:
              give me understanding, and I shall live.

Psa 119:145 [(Q)]<I cried> with [my] whole heart;
             reply me, LORD: I shall keep Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:146 [(Q)]<I cried> to Thee; save me,
             and I shall keep Thy Testimonies.
Psa 119:147 [(Q)]<I came> before the twilight,
              and cried: I hoped in Thy word.
Psa 119:148 [(Q)]My eyes <anticipated> the [night] watches,
             that I might meditate in Thy word.
Psa 119:149 [(Q)]Hear <my voice>, according to Thy kindness:
             LORD, revive me according to Thy judgment.
Psa 119:150 [(Q)]<They draw near> that follow after mischief:
             they are far from Thy Law.
Psa 119:151 [(Q)]<Thou [are] near>, LORD;
             and all Thy Commandments [are] truth.
Psa 119:152 [(Q)]<Of old> have I known from Thy Testimonies,
             that Thou have founded them forever.

Psa 119:153 [(R)]<Look on> my affliction, and deliver me:
             for I do not forget Thy Law.
Psa 119:154 [(R)]<Plead> my cause, and deliver me:
             revive me according to Thy word.
Psa 119:155 [(R)]<Far> from the wicked [is] Salvation:
             for they seek not Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:156 [(R)]<Thy tender mercies> [are] great, LORD:
             revive me according to Thy Judgments.
Psa 119:157 [(R)]<Many> [are] my persecutors and my enemies;
             [yet] I do not decline from Thy Testimonies.
Psa 119:158 [(R)]<I beheld> the transgressors, and was grieved;
              because they kept not Thy word.
Psa 119:159 [(R)]<Look> how I love Thy precepts:
              revive me, LORD, according to Thy kindness.
Psa 119:160 [(R)][From the] <head>{beginning} [is] Thy word true:
             and every righteous Judgment of Thee [endures] forever.

Psa 119:161 [(S)]<Princes> have persecuted me without cause;
             but my heart stands in awe of Thy word.
Psa 119:162 [(S)]<I rejoice> at Thy word,
             as one that finds great spoil.
Psa 119:163 [(S)]<I hate lying> and abhor [it]:
             [but] Thy Law do I love.
Psa 119:164 [(S)]<Seven> times a day do I praise Thee,
             because of Thy righteous Judgments.
Psa 119:165 [(S)]Great <peace> have they who love Thy Law:
             and nothing shall cause them to stumble.
Psa 119:166 [(S)]<I have hoped> for Thy Salvation LORD,
             and performed Thy Commandments.
Psa 119:167 [(S)]My soul <has kept> Thy Testimonies;
             and I love them exceedingly.
Psa 119:168 [(S)]I have <kept Thy> precepts and Thy Testimonies:
             for all my ways [are] before Thee.

Psa 119:169 [(T)]<Come near>; let my cry before Thee, LORD:
             give me understanding according to Thy word.
Psa 119:170 [(T)]<Come>; let my supplication before Thee:
             deliver me according to Thy word.
Psa 119:171 [(T)]<Utter> praise shall my lips,
             when Thou have taught me Thy Statutes.
Psa 119:172 [(T)]My tongue <shall speak> of Thy word:
             for all Thy Commandments [are] righteousness.
Psa 119:173 [(T)]<Let Thy> hand help me;
             for I have chosen Thy precepts.
Psa 119:174 [(T)]I <have longed> for Thy Salvation, LORD;
              and Thy Law [is] my delight.
Psa 119:175 [(T)]Let my soul <live>, and it shall praise Thee;
             and let Thy Judgments help me.
Psa 119:176 [(T)]<I have gone astray> like a lost sheep; seek Thy servant;
             for I do not forget Thy Commandments.
Psa 120:1 (Song of the ascents).
         In my distress I cried to the LORD,
          and He replied me.
Psa 120:2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips,
          [and] from a deceitful tongue.
Psa 120:3 What shall be given to Thee?
          Or what shall be done to Thee,
          Thou false tongue?
Psa 120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
          with coals of juniper.
Psa 120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
          [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
Psa 120:6 My soul has long dwelt,
           with him that hates peace.
Psa 120:7 I [am] for peace:
           but when I speak, they [are] for war.

Psa 121:1 (Song of the ascents).
         I shall lift up my eyes to the mountains,
          whence shall my help come?
Psa 121:2 My help [comes] from the LORD,
          who made Heavens and Earth.
Psa 121:3 He shall not allow Thy foot to be moved:
          He who keeps Thee shall not slumber.
Psa 121:4 Behold, He who keeps Israel,
          shall neither slumber nor shall sleep.
Psa 121:5 The LORD [is] Thy keeper.
          The LORD [is] Thy shade upon Thy right hand.
Psa 121:6 The sun shall not smite Thee by day,
           nor the moon by night.
Psa 121:7 The LORD shall preserve Thee from all evil:
          He shall preserve Thy soul.
Psa 121:8 The LORD shall preserve Thy going out,
            and Thy coming in from now on and forever.

Psa 122:1 (Song of the ascents of David).
         I was glad when they said to me,
          Let us go into the House of the LORD.
Psa 122:2 Our feet shall stand within Thy gates, Jerusalem.
Psa 122:3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:
Psa 122:4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of JaH,
          to the testimony of Israel,
          to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
Psa 122:5 For there are set thrones of judgment,
          the thrones of the House of David.
Psa 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
          they shall prosper that love Thee.
Psa 122:7 Peace be within Thy walls,
          [and] prosperity within Thy palaces.
Psa 122:8 Because of my brethren and companions,
          I shall now say, Peace [be] within Thee.
Psa 122:9 Because of the House of the LORD our God,
          I shall seek Thy good.

Psa 123:1 (Song of the ascents).
         To Thee I raise my eyes,
         Thou that dwell in the Heavens.
Psa 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants,
         [look] to the hand of their masters,
         [and] as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress;
          so our eyes [wait] upon the LORD our God,
          until He shall have mercy upon us.
Psa 123:3 Have mercy upon us,
          LORD, have mercy upon us;
          for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Psa 123:4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning,
          of those that are at ease,
          [and] with the contempt of the proud.

Psa 124:1 (Song of the ascents of David).
          If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side,
          now may Israel say;
Psa 124:2 if [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side,
          when men rose up against us:
Psa 124:3 then they had swallowed us up alive,
          when their wrath was kindled against us:
Psa 124:4 then the waters had overwhelmed us,
          the stream had gone over our soul:
Psa 124:5 then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Psa 124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD,
          who has not given us [as] a prey to their teeth!
Psa 124:7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
          the snare [is] broken, and we have escaped.
Psa 124:8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD,
           who made Heavens and Earth.

Psa 125:1 (Song of the ascents).
         They that trust in the LORD, [shall be] as Mount Zion,
          [which] cannot be removed, [but] stays forever.
Psa 125:2 [As] the mountains [are] round Jerusalem,
          so the LORD [is] around His people from now on and forever.
Psa 125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous;
          lest the righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.
Psa 125:4 Do good, LORD, to [those that] are good,
           and to [them that are] upright in their hearts.
Psa 125:5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways,
           the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of lawlessness:
           [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.

Psa 126:1 (Song of the ascents).
          When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion,
          we were like them that dream.
Psa 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
          and our tongue with singing:
          then said they among the heathen,
          The LORD has done great things for them.
Psa 126:3 The LORD has done great things for us;
           [of which] we are glad.
Psa 126:4 Turn back our captivity, LORD,
          as the streams in the south.
Psa 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Psa 126:6 He who goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed,
         shall doubtless return with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with him].

Psa 127:1 (Song of the ascents for Solomon).
         Except the LORD shall build the house,
          they labour in vain that build it.
         Except the LORD shall keep the city,
          the watchman wakes in vain.
Psa 127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise early,
          to sit up late,
          to eat the bread of sorrows:
          [for] so He gives His beloved sleep.
Psa 127:3 Behold, sons [are] a heritage of the LORD:
          [and] the fruit of the womb [is His] reward.
Psa 127:4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man:
          so [are] sons of the youth.
Psa 127:5 Blessed [is] the man that has his quiver full of them:
          they shall not be ashamed,
          but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate!

Psa 128:1 (Song of the ascents).
         Blessed [is] every one that fears the LORD;
          that walks in His ways!
Psa 128:2 For Thou shall eat the labour of Thy hands:
          happy [shall] Thou be, and [it shall be] well with Thee.
Psa 128:3 Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of Thy house:
           Thy sons like olive plants around Thy table.
Psa 128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that fears the LORD.
Psa 128:5 The LORD shall bless Thee out of Zion:
          and Thou shall see the good of Jerusalem,
          all the days of Thy life.
Psa 128:6 And Thou shall see Thy sons of sons,
          [and] peace upon Israel.

Psa 129:1 (Song of the ascents).
         Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth,
          may Israel now say:
Psa 129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth:
          yet they have not prevailed against me.
Psa 129:3 The ploughers ploughed upon my back:
          they made long their furrows.
Psa 129:4 The LORD [is] righteous:
          He has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
Psa 129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
Psa 129:6 Let them be as the grass [upon] the roofs,
          which withers before it grows up:
Psa 129:7 with which the reaper fills not his hand;
          nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom;
Psa 129:8 neither do they who go by, say,
          The blessing of the LORD [be] upon you:
          we bless you in the name of the LORD.

Psa 130:1 (Song of the ascents).
        Out of the depths have I cried to Thee, LORD.
Psa 130:2 Lord, hear my voice:
         let Thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
Psa 130:3 If Thou, JaH, should mark iniquities,
          Lord, who shall stand?
Psa 130:4 But [there is] forgiveness with Thee,
          that Thou may be feared.
Psa 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait,
          and in His word do I hope.
Psa 130:6 My soul [waits] for the Lord,
          more than they that watch for the morning:
          [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning.
Psa 130:7 Let Israel hope in the LORD:
          for with the LORD [there is] mercy,
          and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
Psa 130:8 And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquity.

Psa 131:1 (Song of the ascents of David).
          LORD, my heart [is] not haughty, nor my eyes lofty:
           neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
           or in things too high for me.
Psa 131:2 Surely, I have stilled and quieted my soul;
          like a nursed infant by his mother,
          like a nursed infant is my soul within me.
Psa 131:3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from now on and forever.

Psa 132:1 (Song of the ascents).
          LORD, remember David,
          [and] all his afflictions;
Psa 132:2 how he swore to the LORD,
          [and] vowed to the Mighty of Jacob;
Psa 132:3 Surely, I shall not come into the tent of my house,
          nor go up into my bedstead of my bed;
Psa 132:4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes,
         [or] slumber to my eyelids,
Psa 132:5 until I find a place for the LORD,
          a habitation for the Mighty of Jacob.
Psa 132:6 Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah:
          we found it in the fields of the wood.
Psa 132:7 We shall go into His Tabernacles:
          we shall worship at His stool of His feet.
Psa 132:8 Arise, LORD, into Thy rest;
          Thou, and the Ark of Thy strength.
Psa 132:9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness;
           and let Thy Saints shout for joy.
Psa 132:10 For Thy servant David's sake,
           turn not away the face of Thy anointed.
Psa 132:11 The LORD has sworn [in] truth to David;
           He shall not turn from it;
           Of the fruit of Thy body shall I set upon Thy throne.
Psa 132:12 If Thy sons shall keep My Covenant,
          and My Testimonies that I shall teach them;
          their children also shall sit upon Thy throne forever.
Psa 132:13 For the LORD has elected Zion;
           He has desired [it] for His habitation.
Psa 132:14 This [is] My rest forever:
           here shall I dwell; for I have desired it.
Psa 132:15 I shall abundantly bless her provision:
           I shall satisfy her poor with bread.
Psa 132:16 I shall also clothe her priests with Salvation,
            and her Saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Psa 132:17 I shall make the horn of David to sprout;
           I have arranged a Lamp for My Anointed.
Psa 132:18 His enemies shall I clothe with shame:
           but upon Himself shall His crown flourish.

Psa 133:1 (Song of the ascents of David).
          Behold, how good and how pleasant,
          for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Psa 133:2 [It is] like the precious ointment upon the head,
          that ran down upon the beard, Aaron's beard:
          that went down to the skirts of his garment;
Psa 133:3 as the dew of Hermon,
         [and as the dew] that descended upon the mountains of Zion:
         for there the LORD commanded the blessing, life forever.

Psa 134:1 (Song of the ascents).
         Behold, bless ye the LORD, all [ye] servants of the LORD,
          who by night stand in the House of the LORD.
Psa 134:2 Lift up your hands [in] the Sanctuary, and bless the LORD.
Psa 134:3 May the LORD bless Thee out of Zion,
          that made Heavens and Earth.
Psa 135:1 HalleluJaH!
        Praise ye the name of the LORD.
        Praise Him, ye servants of the LORD.
Psa 135:2 Ye that stand in the House of the LORD,
          in the courts of the House of our God.
Psa 135:3 HalleluJaH!
         For the LORD [is] good;
          sing-psalms to His name; for [it is] pleasant.
Psa 135:4 For JaH has chosen Jacob to Himself,
          [and] Israel for His peculiar treasure.
Psa 135:5 For I know that the LORD [is] great,
          and [that] our Lord [is] above all GODS.
Psa 135:6 Whatever the LORD pleased, [that] did He in Heaven,
          and in Earth, in the seas, and all abysses.
Psa 135:7 He causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the Earth;
          He makes lightnings for the rain;
          He brings the wind out of His treasures.
Psa 135:8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt,
         both of man and beast.
Psa 135:9 [Who] sent signs and wonders into the middle of Thee, Egypt,
           upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
Psa 135:10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
Psa 135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan,
           and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
Psa 135:12 and gave their land [for] a heritage,
            a heritage to Israel His people.
Psa 135:13 Thy name, LORD, [endures] forever;
            [and] Thy memorial, LORD, from generation to generation.
Psa 135:14 For the LORD shall judge His people,
           and He shall relent concerning His servants.
Psa 135:15 The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold,
           the work of men's hands.
Psa 135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not;
           eyes have they, but they see not.
Psa 135:17 They have ears, but they hear not;
           neither is there [any] breath in their mouths.
Psa 135:18 They that make them are like them:
           [so is] every one that trusts in them.
Psa 135:19 Bless the LORD, House of Israel.
           Bless the LORD, House of Aaron.
Psa 135:20 Bless the LORD, House of Levi:
           ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
Psa 135:21 Blessed [be] the LORD out of Zion,
           who dwells at Jerusalem!
          HalleluJaH!

Psa 136:8 The sun to rule by day:

Psa 136:9 The moon and stars to rule by night:

Psa 136:13 To Him who divided the Red Sea into parts:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:14 And made Israel to pass through the middle of it:

Psa 136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:17 To Him who smote great kings:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:18 And slew famous kings:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:19 Sihon king of the Amorites:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:20 And Og king of Bashan:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:21 And gave their land for a heritage:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:22 A heritage to Israel His servant:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:24 And has redeemed us from our enemies:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:25 Who gives food to all flesh:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.
Psa 136:26 Give thanks to the God of Heaven:
         for His mercy [endures] forever.

Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down,
          yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
Psa 137:2 Upon the willows in the middle of it,
          we hung our harps.
Psa 137:3 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.
Psa 137:4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
Psa 137:5 If I forget Thee, Jerusalem,
         let my right hand forget [her skill].
Psa 137:6 If I do not remember Thee,
          let my tongue cleave to my mouth{palate};
          if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Psa 137:7 Remember, LORD, the sons of Edom in the day of Jerusalem;
          who said, Raze [it], Raze [it], to its foundation.
Psa 137:8 Daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed;
          blessed [shall he be], that rewards Thee as Thou have served us.
Psa 137:9 Blessed [shall he be], that takes and dashes Thy little ones against the rock!

Psa 138:1 ([Psalm] of David).
          I shall praise Thee with my whole heart:
          before the GODS shall I sing-psalms to Thee.
Psa 138:2 I shall worship towards Thy Holy Temple,
          and praise Thy name for Thy kindness and for Thy truth:
          for Thou have magnified Thy word above all Thy name.
Psa 138:3 In the day when I cried Thou did answer me,
          [and] strengthen me [with] strength in my soul.
Psa 138:4 All the kings of the Earth shall praise Thee, LORD,
          when they hear the words of Thy mouth.
Psa 138:5 And they shall sing in the ways of the LORD:
          for great [is] the glory of the LORD.
Psa 138:6 Though the LORD [is] high, yet has He respect to the lowly:
          but the proud He knows afar off.
Psa 138:7 Though I walk in the middle of trouble, Thou shall revive me:
          Thou shall stretch out Thy hand against the wrath of my enemies,
          and Thy right hand shall save me.
Psa 138:8 The LORD shall perfect [that which] concerns me:
           Thy mercy, LORD, [endures] forever: forsake not the works Thy own hands.
Psa 139:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
        LORD, Thou have searched me, and known me.
Psa 139:2 Thou know my down-sitting and my up rising,
          Thou understand my thought afar off.
Psa 139:3 Thou sift my path and my lying down,
          and are acquainted [with] all my ways.
Psa 139:4 For [there is] not a word on my tongue,
          [but] behold, LORD, Thou know it altogether.
Psa 139:5 Thou have beset me behind and before,
          and laid Thy hand upon me.
Psa 139:6 [Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me;
           it is high, I cannot [attain] to it.
Psa 139:7 Where shall I go from Thy Spirit?
           Or where shall I flee from Thy presence?
Psa 139:8 If I ascend into Heaven, Thou [are] there:
          if I make my couch in Sheol, behold, Thou [are there].
Psa 139:9 [If] I take the wings of the morning,
          [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Psa 139:10 even there shall Thy hand lead me,
           and Thy right hand shall hold me.
Psa 139:11
           If I say, Surely, the darkness shall cover me;
           even the night shall be light about me.
Psa 139:12 Yes, the darkness hides not from Thee;
           but the night shines as the day:
           the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to Thee].
Psa 139:13 For Thou have possessed my reins:
           Thou have covered me in my mother's womb.
Psa 139:14 I shall praise Thee: for I [am] fearfully [and] wonderfully made:
           wonderful [are] Thy works; and [that] my soul well knows.
Psa 139:15 My substance was not hid from Thee when I was made in secret,
           [and] skilfully woven in the lowest parts of the Earth.
Psa 139:16 Thy eyes saw my unformed substance;
           and in Thy book all of them were written,
           [which] days they should be fashioned,
           when [as yet there was] not one of them.
Psa 139:17 How precious are Thy thoughts to me, God!
           How great is the sum of them!
Psa 139:18 [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
           when I awake, I [am] still with Thee.
Psa 139:19 Surely, Thou shall slay the wicked, God:
           depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
Psa 139:20 For they speak against Thee wickedly,
           [and] Thy enemies take Thy [name] in vain.
Psa 139:21 Do not I hate them, LORD, that hate Thee?
           And [am] not I grieved with those that rise up against Thee?
Psa 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred:
           I count them my enemies.
Psa 139:23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
           try me, and know my thoughts:
Psa 139:24 and see if [there is any] wicked way in me,
           and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psa 140:1 (To the chief Musician, Psalm of David).
          Deliver me, LORD, from the evil man:
          preserve me from the violent man;
Psa 140:2 who imagine evil things in [their] heart;
          continually are they assembled [for] war.
Psa 140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent;
          the poison of asps [is] under their lips. [Rom 3:13] (Selah).

Psa 140:4 Keep me, LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
          preserve me from the violent man;
          who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
Psa 140:5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords;
          they have spread a net by the way:
          they have set traps for me. (Selah).

Psa 140:6 I said to the LORD, Thou [are] my God:
          hear the voice of my supplications, LORD.
Psa 140:7 Lord JeHoVaH, the Strength of my Salvation,
          Thou have covered my head in the day of battle.
Psa 140:8 Grant not, LORD, the desires of the wicked:
          further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. (Selah).

Psa 140:9 [As for] the head of those that surround me,
           let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Psa 140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them:
           let them be cast into the fire;
           into deep pits, that they rise not again.
Psa 140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established on the Earth:
           evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Psa 140:12 I know that the LORD shall maintain the cause of the afflicted,
           [and] the right of the poor.
Psa 140:13 Surely, the righteous shall give thanks to Thy name:
           the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.

Psa 141:1 (Psalm of David).
          LORD, I cry to Thee: make haste to me;
          give ear to my voice, when I cry to Thee.
Psa 141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before Thee [as] incense;
          the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.
Psa 141:3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth;
          keep the door of my lips.
Psa 141:4 Incline not my heart to [any] evil thing,
          to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity:
          and let me not eat of their dainties.
Psa 141:5 Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness:
          and let him reprove me; it is oil of the head.
          Let not my head refuse it;
          for yet my prayer also [shall be] in their calamities.
Psa 141:6 When their judges are overthrown in rocky places,
          they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Psa 141:7 As when one cuts and cleaves wood upon the Earth;
          so are our bones scattered at Sheol mouth.
Psa 141:8 But my eyes [are] to Thee, Lord JeHoVaH:
          in Thee is my trust; leave not my soul bare.
Psa 141:9 Keep me from the snare [which] they have laid for me,
          and the traps of the workers of lawlessness.
Psa 141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets altogether,
           while I pass over.

Psa 142:1 (Maschil of David; a prayer when he was in the cave).
          I cried to the LORD with my voice;
           with my voice to the LORD I made my supplication.
Psa 142:2 I poured out my complaint before Him;
          I showed before Him my trouble.
Psa 142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
          then Thou knew my path.
          In the way in which I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
Psa 142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld,
          but [there was] no man that would know me:
          refuge perished from me; no man sought after my soul.
Psa 142:5 I cried to Thee, LORD:
          I said, Thou [are] my Refuge,
          [and] my portion in the land of the living.
Psa 142:6 Attend to my cry; for I [am] brought very low:
          deliver me from my persecutors;
          for they are stronger than I.
Psa 142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Thy name:
          the righteous shall surround me;
          for Thou shall deal bountifully with me.

Psa 143:1 (Ode of David).
          Hear my prayer, LORD, give ear to my supplications:
          in Thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in Thy righteousness.
Psa 143:2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant:
          for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Psa 143:3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
           he has smitten my life down to the ground;
           he has made me to dwell in darkness,
          as those that have been long dead.
Psa 143:4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me;
           my heart within me is desolate.
Psa 143:5 I remember the days of old,
          I meditate on all Thy works;
          I muse on the work of Thy hands.
Psa 143:6 I stretch out my hands to Thee:
          my soul [thirsts] after Thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah).

Psa 143:7 Reply me speedily, LORD: my spirit fails:
          hide not Thy face from me,
          lest I be like them that go down into the pit.
Psa 143:8 Cause me to hear Thy kindness in the morning;
          for in Thee do I trust.
          Cause me to know the way in which I should walk;
          for I lift up my soul to Thee.
Psa 143:9 Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies:
          I flee to Thee to hide me.
Psa 143:10 Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou [are] my God:
          Thy Spirit [is] good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
Psa 143:11 Revive me, LORD, for Thy name's sake:
           for Thy righteousness' [sake] bring my soul out of trouble.
Psa 143:12 And of Thy mercy cut off my enemies,
           and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I [am] Thy servant.

Psa 144:1 ([Psalm] of David).
          Blessed [be] the LORD my Rock{Strength},
          who teaches my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight;
Psa 144:2 my Goodness, and my Fortress; my High Tower, and my Deliverer;
          my Shield, and He in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me!
Psa 144:3 LORD, what [is] man, that Thou take knowledge of Him!
          Son of man, that Thou make account of Him!
Psa 144:4 Man is like to vanity:
          his days [are] as a shadow that passes away.
Psa 144:5 Bow Thy Heavens, LORD, and come down:
          touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Psa 144:6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them:
          shoot Thy arrows, and destroy them.
Psa 144:7 Send Thy hand from above;
          rid me, and deliver me out of great waters,
          from the hand of the sons of strangers;
Psa 144:8 whose mouth speaks vanity,
           and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.
Psa 144:9 I shall sing a new song to Thee, GOD:
           upon a psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings shall I sing-psalms to Thee.
Psa 144:10 [It is He] that gives Salvation to kings:
           who delivers David his servant from the hurtful sword.
Psa 144:11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of the sons of strangers,
           whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood:
Psa 144:12 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:
Psa 144:13 [that] our granaries [may be] full, affording all manner of store;
           [that] our sheep may bring forth thousands and myriads in our streets:
Psa 144:14 [that] our oxen [may be] strong to labour; that [there be] no breaking in,
            nor going out; that [there be] no complaining in our streets.
Psa 144:15 Blessed [is that] people, that is in such a case.
           Blessed [is that] people, whose God [is] the LORD!

Psa 145:1 [(Psalm and] praise of David).

            slow to anger, and of great mercy.
Psa 145:9 [(Th)]<Good> to all [is] the LORD:
            and His tender mercies [are] over all His works.

            and the glorious majesty of His Kingdom.
Psa 145:13 [(M)]<Thy Kingdom> [is] an everlasting Kingdom,
            and Thy Dominion [endures] from generation to generation.
           [(N)]<Faithful> is GOD in all His words,
            and gracious in all His works.
Psa 145:14 [(X)]The LORD <upholds> all that fall,
            and raises up all [those that are] bowed down.
Psa 145:15 [(O)]The <eyes> of all wait upon Thee;
            and Thou give them their food in due season.
Psa 145:16 [(P)]Thou <open> Thy hand,
            and satisfy the desire of every living [thing].
Psa 145:17 [(C)]<Righteous> [is] the LORD in all His ways,
            and Holy in all His works.
Psa 145:18 [(Q)]<Near> [is] the LORD to all those that call upon Him,
            to all that call upon Him in truth.
Psa 145:19 [(R)]The <desire> of them that fear Him shall He fulfil:
            and He shall hear their cry, and shall save them.
Psa 145:20 [(S)]The LORD <preserves> all them that loving Him:
            but all the wicked shall He destroy.
Psa 145:21 [(T)]The <praise> of the LORD shall [I] speak [with] my mouth:
            and let all flesh bless His Holy name forever and ever.

Psa 146:1 HalleluJaH!
        Praise the LORD, my soul.
Psa 146:2 While I live shall I praise the LORD:
           I shall sing-psalms to my God while I have any being.
Psa 146:3 Put not your trust in princes,
          [nor] in a son of man, in whom [there is] no help.
Psa 146:4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth;
           in that very day his thoughts perish.
Psa 146:5 Blessed [is he] that has the God of Jacob for his Help,
           whose hope [is] in the LORD his God!
Psa 146:6 Who made Heaven, and Earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them.
        Who keeps truth forever!
Psa 146:7 Who executes judgment for the oppressed.
        Who gives food to the hungry.
        The LORD looses the prisoners.
Psa 146:8 The LORD opens [the eyes of] the blind.
        The LORD raises them that are bowed down.
        The LORD loves the righteous.
Psa 146:9 The LORD preserves the strangers;
        He relieves the fatherless and widow:
        but the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
Psa 146:10 The LORD shall reign forever,
        Thy God, Zion, from generation to generation.
        HalleluJaH!

Psa 147:1 HalleluJaH!
         For [it is] good to sing-psalms to our God;
         for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.
Psa 147:2
        The LORD builds up Jerusalem:
        He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
Psa 147:3 He heals the broken in heart,
        and binds up their wounds.
Psa 147:4 He tells the number of the stars;
        He calls them all by [their] names.
Psa 147:5 Great [is] our Lord, and of great power:
        His understanding [is] infinite.
Psa 147:6 The LORD lifts up the meek:
        He casts the wicked down to the ground.
Psa 147:7
        Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
        sing-psalms upon the harp to our God.
Psa 147:8
        Who covers the Heaven with clouds,
        who prepares rain for the Earth,
        who makes grass to grow upon the mountains;
        and herb for the service of man.
Psa 147:9 He gives to the beast His food,
        [and] to the young ravens which cry.
Psa 147:10 He delights not in the strength of the horse:
        He takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.
Psa 147:11 The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear Him,
            in those that hope in His mercy.
Psa 147:12
           Praise the LORD, Jerusalem.
           Praise Thy God, Zion.
Psa 147:13
       For He has strengthened the bars of Thy gates;
           He has blessed Thy sons within Thee.
Psa 147:14 He makes peace [in] Thy borders,
            [and] fills Thee with the finest of the wheat.
Psa 147:15 He sends forth His speech [upon] Earth:
           His word runs very swiftly.
Psa 147:16 He gives snow like wool:
           He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.
Psa 147:17 He casts forth His ice like morsels:
           who can stand before His cold?
Psa 147:18 He sends out His word, and melts them:
           He causes His wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.
Psa 147:19 He shows His words to Jacob,
           His Statutes and His Judgments to Israel.
Psa 147:20 He has not dealt so with any nation:
        and [as for His] Judgments, they have not known them.
        HalleluJaH!

Psa 148:1 HalleluJaH!
          Praise ye the LORD from the Heavens.
          Praise Him in the heights.
Psa 148:2 Praise ye Him, all His Angels.
          Praise ye Him, all His Armies.
Psa 148:3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon.
          Praise Him, all ye stars of light.
Psa 148:4 Praise Him, ye Heavens of Heavens,
           and ye waters that [are] above the Heavens.
Psa 148:5
          Let them praise the name of the LORD:
          for He commanded, and they were created.
Psa 148:6 He has also established them forever and ever:
          He has made a decree which shall not pass.
Psa 148:7
          Praise the LORD from the Earth,
           ye monsters, and all abysses:
Psa 148:8 fire, and hail; snow, and vapour;
           stormy wind fulfilling His Word:
Psa 148:9 mountains, and all hills;
           fruitful trees, and all cedars:
Psa 148:10 animals, and all cattle;
            creeping things, and flying bird:
Psa 148:11 kings of the Earth, and all peoples;
            princes, and all judges of the Earth:
Psa 148:12 both young men, and maidens;
            old men, and children.
Psa 148:13
            Let them praise the name of the LORD:
            for His name alone is excellent;
            His glory [is] above the Earth and Heaven.
Psa 148:14 And He exalts the horn of His people,
            the praise of all His Saints;
            of the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.
            HalleluJaH!

Psa 149:1 HalleluJaH!
        Sing to the LORD a new song,
        [and] His praise in the Congregation of Saints.
Psa 149:2 Let Israel rejoice in Him that made him.
          Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
Psa 149:3 Let them praise His name in the dance.
          Let them sing-psalms to Him with the timbrel and harp:
Psa 149:4 for the LORD takes pleasure in His people:
         He shall beautify the meek with Salvation.
Psa 149:5 Let the Saints be joyful in glory.
          Let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Psa 149:6 [Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth,
        and a two-edged sword in their hand;
Psa 149:7 to execute vengeance upon the heathen,
        [and] punishments upon the peoples;
Psa 149:8 to bind their kings with chains,
        and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Psa 149:9 to execute upon them the judgment written:
        this honour have all His Saints.
        HalleluJaH!

Psa 150:1 HalleluJaH!
          Praise God in His Sanctuary.
          Praise Him in the expanse of His power.
Psa 150:2 Praise Him for His mighty acts.
          Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
Psa 150:3 Praise Him with the voice of the shofar.
          Praise Him with the psaltery and harp.
Psa 150:4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance.
          Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs.
Psa 150:5 Praise Him upon the loud cymbals.
          Praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Psa 150:6 Let everything that has breath HalleluJaH!
          HalleluJaH!

Pro 1:1 [Scroll 13 Proverbs (Wisdom)].
        Proverbs of Solomon,
        the son of David, king of Israel;
Pro 1:2 to know wisdom and instruction;
        to perceive the words of understanding;
Pro 1:3 to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
Pro 1:4 to give subtlety to the simple,
        to the young man knowledge and discretion.
Pro 1:5 A wise [man] shall hear, and shall increase learning;
        and a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels:
Pro 1:6 to understand a proverb, and the interpretation;
        the words of the wise, and their riddles.
Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge:
        [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Pro 1:8 {Part 1}.
        My son, hear the instruction of Thy father,
        and forsake not the Law of Thy mother:
Pro 1:9 for they [shall be] an ornament of grace to Thy head,
        and chains about Thy neck.

Pro 1:10 My son, if sinners entice Thee, consent Thou not.
Pro 1:11 If they say, Come with us,
         let us lay in wait for blood,
         let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
Pro 1:12 let us swallow them up alive as Sheol;
        and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
Pro 1:13 we shall find all precious substance,
         we shall fill our houses with spoil:
Pro 1:14 cast in Thy lot among us; let us all have one purse.

Pro 1:15 My son, walk not Thou with them in the way;
          refrain Thy foot from their path:
Pro 1:16 for their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
Pro 1:17 Surely, in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
Pro 1:18 And they lay in wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] souls.
Pro 1:19 So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; [who] takes away the soul of its owners.
Pro 1:20
        Wisdom cries outside; she utters her voice in the streets:
Pro 1:21 she cries in the chief place of concourse,
        in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words,
Pro 1:22 Until when, ye simple ones, shall ye love simplicity?
        And the scorners delight in their scorning,
        and fools hate knowledge?
Pro 1:23 Turn ye at My reproof: behold,
        I shall pour out My Spirit to you,
        I shall make known to you My words;
Pro 1:24 because I have called, and ye refused;
        I have stretched out My hand, and no man regarded;
Pro 1:25 but ye have disregard all My counsel, and rejected My reproof:
Pro 1:26 I also shall laugh at your calamity;
        I shall mock when your fear comes;
Pro 1:27 when your fear comes as desolation,
        and your destruction comes as a whirlwind;
        when distress and anguish comes upon you.
Pro 1:28 Then shall they call upon Me, but I shall not answer;
        they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me:
Pro 1:29 for that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
Pro 1:30 they rejected My counsel: they despised all My reproof.
Pro 1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
        and be filled with their own devices.
Pro 1:32 For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them,
        and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Pro 1:33 But whoever listens to me shall dwell in safety,
        and shall at ease from fear of evil.

Pro 2:1 My son, if Thou shall receive My words,
         and hide My Commandments with Thee;
Pro 2:2 so that Thou incline Thy ear to wisdom,
         [and] apply Thy heart to understanding;
Pro 2:3 for if Thou cry after understanding,
         [and] lift up Thy voice for insight;
Pro 2:4 if Thou seek her as silver,
         and search for her as [for] hid treasures;
Pro 2:5 then shall Thou understand the fear of the LORD,
         and find the knowledge of GOD.
Pro 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom:
         out of His mouth [comes] knowledge and understanding.
Pro 2:7 He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous:
         [He is] a Shield to them that walk uprightly.
Pro 2:8 He keeps the paths of judgment,
         and preserves the way of His Saints;
Pro 2:9 then shall Thou understand righteousness,
         and judgment, and equity; [and] every good path.
Pro 2:10 When wisdom enters into Thy heart,
          and knowledge is pleasant to Thy soul;
Pro 2:11 discretion shall preserve Thee,
          understanding shall keep Thee:
Pro 2:12 to deliver Thee from the way of the evil [man],
          from the man that speaks perversity;
Pro 2:13 who leave the paths of uprightness,
          to walk in the ways of darkness;
Pro 2:14 who rejoice to do evil,
         [and] delight in the forwardness of the wicked;
Pro 2:15 whose ways [are] crooked,
          and [they] being devious in their paths:
Pro 2:16 to deliver Thee from the strange woman,
          from the stranger [who] flatters with her words;
Pro 2:17 who forsakes the guide of her youth, and forgets the Covenant of her God.
Pro 2:18  For her house inclines to death, and her paths to the dead.
Pro 2:19 None that go to her return back,
         neither do they take hold of the paths of life.
Pro 2:20 That Thou may walk in the way of good [men],
          and keep the paths of the righteous.
Pro 2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land,
          and the perfect shall remain in it.
Pro 2:22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the Earth,
          and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Pro 3:1 My son, forget not My Law;
         but let Thy heart keep My Commandments;
Pro 3:2 for length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to Thee.
Pro 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake Thee:
         bind them about Thy neck;
         write them upon the tablet of Thy heart:
Pro 3:4 so shall Thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of GOD and man.
Pro 3:5
        Trust in the LORD with all Thy heart;
         and lean not to Thy own understanding.
Pro 3:6 In all Thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall straight Thy paths.
Pro 3:7 Become not wise in Thy own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Pro 3:8 It shall be health to Thy navel, and marrow to Thy bones.
Pro 3:9 Honour the LORD with Thy substance,
         and with the first-fruit of all Thy increase:
Pro 3:10 so shall Thy barns be filled with plenty,
         and Thy presses with new wine shall burst out.

Pro 3:11 My son, despise not Thou the chastening of the LORD,
          nor faint when Thou being reproved by Him: [Heb 12:5]
Pro 3:12 for whom the LORD loves He chastens,
          and scourges every son whom He receives. [Heb 12:6]
Pro 3:13 Happy [is] the man [that] finds wisdom,
          and the man [that] gets understanding.
Pro 3:14 For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver,
          and the gain of it than fine gold.
Pro 3:15 She is more precious than rubies:
          and all the things Thou can desire are not to be compared to her.
Pro 3:16 Length of days [is] in her right [hand]; [and] in her left [hand] riches and honour.
Pro 3:17 Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.
Pro 3:18 She [is] a Tree of Life to them that lay hold upon her:
          and happy [is every one] that retains her.
Pro 3:19
        The LORD by wisdom has founded the Earth;
         by understanding has He established the Heavens.
Pro 3:20 By his knowledge the abysses are broken up, and the clouds drip the dew.

Pro 3:21 My son, let not them depart from Thy eyes:
          keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Pro 3:22 so shall they be life to Thy soul, and grace to Thy neck.
Pro 3:23 Then shall Thou walk in Thy way safely, and Thy foot shall not stumble.
Pro 3:24 When Thou lie down, Thou shall not be afraid:
          but Thou shall lie down, and Thy sleep shall be sweet.
Pro 3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear,
          neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.
Pro 3:26 For the LORD shall be Thy confidence, and shall keep Thy foot from being taken.
Pro 3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of Thy hand to do [it].
Pro 3:28 Say not to Thy neighbour,
          Go, and come back, and tomorrow I shall give; when Thou have it by Thee.
Pro 3:29 Devise not evil against Thy neighbour,
          seeing He dwells securely by Thee.
Pro 3:30 Strive not with a man without cause, if He has done Thee no harm.
Pro 3:31 Envy Thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
Pro 3:32 For the devious [is] abomination to the LORD:
          but His secret [is] with the righteous.
Pro 3:33 The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked:
          but He blesses the habitation of the just.
Pro 3:34 [God] resists the proud,
          but gives grace to the humble. [Jas 4:6 1Pe 5:5]
Pro 3:35 The wise shall inherit glory:
          but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Pro 4:1 Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
Pro 4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not My Law.
Pro 4:3 For I have been my father's son,
        tender and only [beloved] in the sight of my mother.
Pro 4:4 He taught me also, and said to me,
        Let Thy heart retain My words: keep My Commandments, and live.
Pro 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not;
        neither decline from the words of my mouth.
Pro 4:6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve Thee:
        love her, and she shall keep Thee.
Pro 4:7 Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom:
        and with all Thy getting get understanding.
Pro 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote Thee:
        she shall bring Thee to honour, when Thou do embrace her.
Pro 4:9 She shall give to Thy head an ornament of grace:
        a crown of glory shall she deliver to Thee.

Pro 4:10 Hear, My son, and receive My sayings; and multiplied shall be the years of Thy life.
Pro 4:11 I have taught Thee in the way of wisdom; I have led Thee in right paths.
Pro 4:12 When Thou go, Thy steps shall not be straitened;
        and when Thou run, Thou shall not stumble.
Pro 4:13 Take fast hold of instruction; let [her] not go: keep her; for she [is] Thy life.
Pro 4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked,
        and go not in the way of evil.
Pro 4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Pro 4:16
         For they sleep not, except they have done mischief;
          and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause [some] to fall.
Pro 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness,
          and drink the wine of violence.
Pro 4:18 But the path of the just [is] as the shining light,
          that shines more to the perfect day.
Pro 4:19 The way of the wicked [is] as darkness:
          they know not at what they stumble.

Pro 4:20 My son, attend to My words;
         incline Thy ear to My sayings.
Pro 4:21 Let them not depart from Thy eyes;
         keep them in the middle of Thy heart.
Pro 4:22 For they [are] life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Pro 4:23 Keep Thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the outgoings of life.
Pro 4:24 Put away from Thee a crooked mouth,
         and perverse lips put far from Thee.
Pro 4:25 Let Thy eyes look right on,
         and let Thy eyelids before Thee look straight.
Pro 4:26 Ponder the path of Thy feet,
         and let all Thy ways be established.
Pro 4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove Thy foot from evil.

Pro 5:1 My son, attend to My wisdom,
        [and] bow Thy ear to My understanding:
Pro 5:2 that Thou may regard discretion,
        and [that] Thy lips may keep knowledge.
Pro 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] a honey-comb,
        and her mouth [is] smoother than oil:
Pro 5:4 but her end is bitter as wormwood,
        sharp as a two-edged sword.
Pro 5:5 Her feet go down to death;
        her steps take hold on Sheol;
Pro 5:6 lest Thou should ponder the path of life,
        her ways are movable, [that] Thou cannot know.
Pro 5:7
        Hear me now therefore, ye sons,
        and depart not from the words of My mouth.
Pro 5:8 Remove Thy way far from her,
        and come not near the door of her house:
Pro 5:9 lest Thou give Thy honour to others,
        and Thy years to the cruel:
Pro 5:10 lest strangers be filled with Thy wealth;
        and Thy labours [be] in the house of a stranger;
Pro 5:11 And Thou mourn at the last,
        when Thy flesh and Thy body are consumed,
Pro 5:12 and say, How have I hated instruction,
        and my heart despised reproof;
Pro 5:13 and have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
        nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!
Pro 5:14 I have been almost in all evil,
        in the middle of the Congregation and assembly.
Pro 5:15 Drink waters out of Thy own cistern,
        and running waters out of Thy own well.
Pro 5:16 Let Thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of waters in the streets.
Pro 5:17 Let them be only Thy own, and not for strangers with Thee.
Pro 5:18 Let Thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of Thy youth.
Pro 5:19 [Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant doe.
         Let her breasts satisfy Thee at all times;
        and with her love Thou ravished always.
Pro 5:20
        And why shall Thou, My son, be ravished with a strange woman,
        and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Pro 5:21 For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD,
        and He ponders all his goings.
Pro 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,
        and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
Pro 5:23 He shall die without instruction;
        and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Pro 6:1 My son, if Thou are surety for Thy friend,
        [if] Thou have stricken a stranger with Thy hand,
Pro 6:2 Thou are snared with the words of Thy mouth,
        Thou are taken with the words of Thy mouth.
Pro 6:3
        Do this now, My son, and deliver thyself,
        when Thou are come into the hand of Thy friend;
        go, humble thyself, and make sure Thy friend.
Pro 6:4 Give not sleep to Thy eyes, nor slumber to Thy eyelids.
Pro 6:5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter],
        and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Pro 6:6
        Go to the ant, Thou sluggard;
        consider her ways, and be wise:
Pro 6:7 which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Pro 6:8 provides her provisions in the summer,
        [and] gathers her food in the harvest.
Pro 6:9 Until when shall Thou sleep, sluggard?
        When shall Thou arise out of Thy sleep?
Pro 6:10 [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber,
        a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Pro 6:11 so shall Thy poverty come [as] one that travels,
        and Thy want as an armed man.
Pro 6:12
        A man of Belial{the Worthless}, a wicked man,
         he walks with a crooked mouth,
Pro 6:13 he winks with his eyes,
         he speaks with his feet,
         he teaches with his fingers;
Pro 6:14 forwardness [is] in his heart,
         he devises mischief continually;
         he sows discord.
Pro 6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
         suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Pro 6:16
        These six [things] does the LORD hate: <seven> [are] an abomination to His soul:
Pro 6:17 a <proud look>,
         a <lying tongue>,
        <hands that shed innocent blood>;
Pro 6:18 a <heart that devises wicked imaginations>,
        <feet that are swift in running to mischief>;
Pro 6:19 a <false witness> [that] speaks lies,
        and <him that sows discord among brethren>.

Pro 6:20 My son, keep Thy father's Commandment,
        and forsake not the Law of Thy mother:
Pro 6:21 bind them continually upon Thy heart,
        [and] tie them about Thy neck;
Pro 6:22 when Thou go, it shall lead Thee;
        when Thou sleep, it shall keep Thee;
        and [when] Thou awake, it shall talk with Thee.
Pro 6:23 For the Commandment [is] a Lamp;
        and the Law [is] Light;
        and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life.
Pro 6:24
        To keep Thee from the evil woman,
        from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
Pro 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in Thy heart;
        neither let her take Thee with her eyelids.
Pro 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread:
        and another man's wife shall hunt for the precious soul.
Pro 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
Pro 6:28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
Pro 6:29 So he who goes in to his neighbour's wife;
        whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
Pro 6:30 [Men] do not despise a thief,
        if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
Pro 6:31 but [if] he is found, he shall restore seven-fold;
        he shall give all the substance of his house.
Pro 6:32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman, lacks heart.
        He [that] does it destroys his own soul.
Pro 6:33 A wound and dishonour shall he get;
        and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
Pro 6:34 For jealousy [is] the rage of a man:
        therefore he shall not spare in the day of vengeance.
Pro 6:35 He shall not regard any ransom;
        neither shall he rest content, though Thou give many gifts.

Pro 7:1 My son, keep My words,
        and lay up My Commandments with Thee.
Pro 7:2 Keep My Commandments, and live;
        and My Law as the pupil of Thy eye.
Pro 7:3 Bind them upon Thy fingers,
        write them upon the tablet of Thy heart.
Pro 7:4 Say to wisdom, Thou [are] my sister;
        and call understanding [Thy] kinswoman:
Pro 7:5 that they may keep Thee from the strange woman,
        from the stranger [which] flatters with her words.
Pro 7:6 For at the window of My house,
        I looked through My casement,
Pro 7:7 and beheld among the simples,
        I discerned among the youths, a young man lacking heart,
Pro 7:8 passing through the street near her corner;
        and he went the way to her house.
Pro 7:9 In the twilight, in the evening,
        in the black and dark night:
Pro 7:10 and behold, there met him a woman,
        [with] the attire of a whore, and subtle of heart;
Pro 7:11 (she [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
Pro 7:12 now [is she] outside, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner).
Pro 7:13 So she caught him, and kissed him,
        [and] with an impudent face said to him,
Pro 7:14 [I have] with me peace-offerings;
        this day have I paid My vows.
Pro 7:15 Therefore I came forth to meet Thee,
        diligently to seek Thy face, and I have found Thee.
Pro 7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,
        with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt.
Pro 7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Pro 7:18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning:
        let us solace ourselves with loves.
Pro 7:19 For the good-man [is] not at home,
        he is gone a long journey:
Pro 7:20 he has taken a bag of money with him,
        [and] shall when the day appointed come home.
Pro 7:21 With her much persuasiveness she caused to yield him,
        with the flattering of her lips she impelled him.
Pro 7:22 He goes after her quickly, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
        or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Pro 7:23 until an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare,
        and knows not that it [is] for his soul.
Pro 7:24
        Now ye sons therefore listen to Me,
        and attend to the words of My mouth.
Pro 7:25 Let not Thy heart decline to her ways,
        go not astray in her paths.
Pro 7:26 For she has cast down many wounded:
        yes, many strong [men] have been slain by her.
Pro 7:27 Her house [is] the way to Sheol,
        going down to the chambers of death.

Pro 8:1 Does not wisdom cry?
        And understanding put forth her voice?
Pro 8:2 She stands on the top of high places,
        by the way in the places of the paths.
Pro 8:3 She cries at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors.
Pro 8:4 To you, men, I call; and My voice [is] to the sons of men.
Pro 8:5 Ye simple, understand wisdom:
        and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
Pro 8:6 Hear; for I shall speak of excellent things;
        and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things.
Pro 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth;
        and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.
Pro 8:8 All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness;
        [there is] nothing distorted or perverse in them.
Pro 8:9 They [are] all plain to him that understands,
        and right to them that find knowledge.
Pro 8:10 Receive My instruction, and not silver;
        and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Pro 8:11 For wisdom [is] better than rubies;
        and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared.
Pro 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence,
        and find out knowledge of ingenious inventions.

Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and arrogance,
        and the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate.
Pro 8:14 Counsel [is] Mine, and sound wisdom:
        I [AM] Understanding; I have Strength.
Pro 8:15 By Me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
Pro 8:16 By Me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the Earth.
Pro 8:17 I love them that loving Me;
        and those that seek Me early shall find Me.
Pro 8:18 Riches and honour [are] with Me;
        durable riches and righteousness.
Pro 8:19 Better [is] My fruit than gold, yes, than fine gold;
        and My revenue than choice silver.
Pro 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness,
        in the middle of the paths of judgment.
Pro 8:21 That I may cause those that love Me;
        to inherit substance; and I shall fill their treasures.
Pro 8:22
        The LORD possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old.
Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the Earth.
Pro 8:24 When [there were] no abysses, I was brought forth;
         when [there were] no fountains abounding with water.
Pro 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth.
Pro 8:26 While as yet He had not made the Earth, nor the fields,
        nor the highest part of the dust of the World;
Pro 8:27 when He prepared the Heavens, I [was] there:
         when He set a circle upon the face of the Abyss:
Pro 8:28 when He established the clouds above:
         when He strengthened the fountains of the Abyss:
Pro 8:29 when He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass His Commandment:
         when He appointed the foundations of the Earth:
Pro 8:30 then I was by Him, [as] one brought up [with Him]:
        and I was day by day [His] delight, rejoicing always before Him;
Pro 8:31 rejoicing in the habitable part of His Earth;
        and My delights [were] with the sons of men.
Pro 8:32
        And now listen to Me, ye sons:
        for blessed [are they that] keep My ways.
Pro 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Pro 8:34 Blessed [is] the man that hears Me,
        watching day by day at My gates,
        waiting at the posts of My doors!
Pro 8:35 For whoever finds Me finds life,
        and shall obtain favour from the LORD.
Pro 8:36 But he who sins against Me wrongs his own soul:
        all they that hate Me love death.

Pro 9:1 Wisdom has built her house.
        She has hewn out her seven pillars.
Pro 9:2 She has killed her animal.
        She has her wine mingled.
        She has also furnished her table.
Pro 9:3 She has sent forth her maidens.
        She cries upon the highest places of the city,
Pro 9:4 whoever [is] simple, let him turn in here:

Pro 9:5 Come, eat of my bread,
        and drink of the wine [which] I have mingled.

        and the years of Thy life shall be increased.
Pro 9:12 If Thou are wise, Thou shall be wise for thyself:
        but [if] Thou scorn, Thou alone shall bear [it].
Pro 9:13 A foolish woman [is] clamorous: [she is] simple, and knows nothing.
Pro 9:14 For she sits at the door of her house,
        on a seat in the high places of the city,
Pro 9:15 to call those who pass by, who go straight on their ways:
Pro 9:16 whoever [is] simple, let him turn in here:
        and [as for] him that lacking heart, she said to him,
Pro 9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread [eaten] in secret is pleasant.
Pro 9:18 But he knows not that the dead [are] there;
        [and] in the depths of Sheol [are] her guests.

          lest Thou [know not] what to do in the end of it,
          when Thy neighbour has put Thee to shame.

          and reveal not a secret to another:

Pro 25:11 A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures of silver.

           and the LORD shall reward Thee.
Pro 25:23 The north wind brings forth rain:

Pro 30:1 {Part 6}. (The words of Agur the son of Jakeh,
                     the prophecy: the man spoke to Ithiel, even to Ithiel and Ucal).
Pro 30:2
        Surely, I [am] more brutish than [any] man,
         and have not the understanding of a man.
Pro 30:3 I neither learned wisdom,
          nor have the knowledge of the Holy.
Pro 30:4 Who has ascended into Heaven, or descended?
         Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
         Who has bound the waters in a garment?
         Who has established all the ends of the Earth?
         What [is] His name, and what [is] His Son's name, if Thou can tell?
Pro 30:5 Every word of God [is] pure: He [is] a Shield to them that put their trust in Him.
Pro 30:6 Add Thou not to His words, lest He reprove Thee, and Thou be found a liar.
Pro 30:7
        Two [things] have I required of Thee;
         deny [them] not to me before I die:
Pro 30:8 remove far from me vanity and lies;
         give me neither poverty nor riches;
         feed me with food of my portion:
Pro 30:9 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].
Pro 30:10 Accuse not a servant to his master,
         lest he curse Thee, and Thou be found guilty.

Pro 30:11 [There is] a generation [that] curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
Pro 30:12 [There is] a generation [that are] pure in their own eyes, and [yet] are not washed from their filthiness.
Pro 30:13 [There is] a generation, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
Pro 30:14 [There is] a generation, whose fangs [are as] swords, and their fangs [as] knives, to devour the poor from off the Earth, and the needy from [among] men.

Pro 30:15 A horse-leech has two daughters,
        Give and Give [more].
        There are three [things that] are never satisfied,
        four [things] say not, [It is] enough:
Pro 30:16 Sheol; and the barren womb;
        the Earth [that] is not filled with water;
        and the fire [that] said not, [It is] enough.
Pro 30:17
        The eye [that] mocks at [its] father,
        and despises to obey [its] mother,
        the ravens of the valley shall pick it out,
        and the young eagles shall eat it.
Pro 30:18
        There are three [things which] are too wonderful for me,
         yes, four which I know not:
Pro 30:19 the way of an eagle in the air;
          the way of a serpent upon a rock;
          the way of a ship in the heart of the sea;
      and the way of a man with a virgin.
Pro 30:20 Such [is] the way of an adulterous woman;
           she eats, and wipes her mouth,
           and said, I have done no wickedness.
Pro 30:21
          For three [things] the Earth is disquieted,
           and for four [which] it cannot bear.
Pro 30:22 For a servant when he reigns;
          a fool when he is filled with food.
Pro 30:23 For a hateful [woman] when she is married;
         and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
Pro 30:24
         There are four [things which are] little upon the Earth, but they [are] very wise:
Pro 30:25 the ants [are] a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer;
Pro 30:26 the [rock] hyraxes [are] not a mighty people, yet they make their houses in the rocks;
Pro 30:27 the locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
Pro 30:28 the gecko takes hold with her hands, and is in king's palaces.
Pro 30:29
          There are three [things] which go well,
           yes, four are comely in going:
Pro 30:30 a lion, [which is] strongest among beasts,
          and turns not away for any;
Pro 30:31 a greyhound, slender in its loins; also a he-goat;
          and a king, against whom [there is] no rising up.

Pro 30:32 If Thou have done foolishly in lifting up thyself,
          or if Thou have thought evil,
          [lay] Thy hand upon Thy mouth.
Pro 30:33 Surely, the churning of milk brings forth curd,
          and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood:
          so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.

Pro 31:1 {Part 7}. (The words of king Lemuel,
                    the prophecy, which are taught by his mother).
Pro 31:2
        What, My son? And what, the son of My womb?
         And what, the son of My vows?
Pro 31:3 Give not Thy strength to women,
          nor Thy ways to that which destroys kings.
Pro 31:4 [It is] not for kings, Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine;
          nor for princes shekar{strong drink}:
Pro 31:5 lest they drink, and forget the Law,
          and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Pro 31:6 Give shekar{strong drink} to him that is ready to perish,
          and wine to those that are bitter of soul.
Pro 31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty,
          and remember his misery no more.
Pro 31:8 Open Thy mouth for the dumb,
          in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
Pro 31:9 Open Thy mouth, judge righteously,
          and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

Pro 31:10 [(A)]A virtuous <woman>: who can find [her]?
                For far above rubies [is] her price.

                so that he shall have of spoil no need.
Pro 31:12 [(G)]<She shall do> him good and not evil,
                all the days of her life.
Pro 31:13 [(D)]<She seeks> wool, and flax,
                and works willingly with her hands.
Pro 31:14 [(E)]<She is like> the trade ships;
                she brings from afar her food.
Pro 31:15 [(V)]<And she rises> also while it is yet night,
                 and gives food to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
Pro 31:16 [(Z)]<She considers> a field, and buys it:
                with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
Pro 31:17 [(H)]<She girds> her loins with strength,
                and strengthens her arms.
Pro 31:18 [(Th)]<She perceives> that her merchandise [is] good:
                 [what] not goes out by night is her lamp.
Pro 31:19 [(J)]<Her hands> lays to the spindle,
                and her hand palms hold the distaff.
Pro 31:20 [(K)]<Her palms> stretches out to the poor;
                her hands reaches forth to the needy.

Job 1:1 [Scroll 14 Job].
        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 shunned evil.
Job 1:2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Job 1:3 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 sons of the east.
Job 1:4 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.
Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of [their] feasting were ended,
        that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings,
        [according] to the number of them all; for Job said,
        It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed GOD in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Job 1:6
        Now there was a day when the sons of GOD{Angels} came to present themselves before the LORD,
        and Satan came also among them.
Job 1:7 And the LORD said to Satan,
        Whence come Thou?
        And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
        From going back and forth on the Earth, and from walking up and down upon it.
Job 1:8 And the LORD said to Satan,
        Have Thou set Thy heart on{considered} My servant Job, that [there is] none like him on the Earth,
        a perfect and an upright man, one that fears GOD, and turning away from evil?
Job 1:9 And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
        Does Job fear GOD for naught?
Job 1:10 Has not Thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side?
        Thou have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:11 But put forth Thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he shall curse Thee to Thy face.
Job 1:12 And the LORD said to Satan,
        Behold, all that he has [is] in Thy power; only upon himself put not forth Thy hand.
         So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Job 1:13
        Now there was a day when his sons and his daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
Job 1:14 and there came a messenger to Job, and said,
         The oxen were ploughing, and the she-asses feeding beside them:
Job 1:15 and [they] of Sheba fell [upon them], and took them away;
         and they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword;
        and I only have escaped alone to tell Thee.
Job 1:16 While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
        The fire of GOD has fallen from Heaven, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them;
        and I only have escaped alone to tell Thee.
Job 1:17 While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
        The Chaldeans made three bands, and made raids on the camels, and have carried them away,
        and slain the servants with the edge of the sword;
        and I only have escaped alone to tell Thee.
Job 1:18 While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
        Thy sons and Thy daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
Job 1:19 and behold, there came a great wind from across the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house,
        and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead;
        and I only have escaped alone to tell Thee.
Job 1:20
        Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshiped,
Job 1:21 and said,
        Naked came I from my mother's womb,
        and naked shall I return there.
        The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;
        blessed [be] the name of the LORD.
Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged GOD foolishly.
Job 2:1
        Now there was a day when the sons of GOD{Angels} came to present themselves before the LORD,
        and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Job 2:2 And the LORD said to Satan,
        Where come Thou?
        And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
        From going back and forth on the Earth, and from walking up and down upon it.
Job 2:3 And the LORD said to Satan,
        Have Thou set Thy heart on{considered} My servant Job, that [there is] none like him on the Earth,
        a perfect and an upright man, one that fears GOD, and turning away from evil?
        And still he holds fast his integrity, although Thou moved Me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Job 2:4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
        Skin for skin, even, all that a man has shall he give for his soul.
Job 2:5 But put forth Thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he shall curse Thee to Thy face.
Job 2:6 And the LORD said to Satan,
        Behold, he [is] in Thy hand; but spare his soul.
Job 2:7 So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
Job 2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself with [it]; and he sat down among the ashes.
Job 2:9 Then said his wife to him,
        Do Thou still retain Thy integrity? Curse GOD, and die.
Job 2:10 But he said to her,
        Thou speak as one of the foolish women speaks.
        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.

Job 2:11 And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came every one from his own place;
        Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite;
        for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him, and to comfort him.
Job 2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they raised their voice,
        and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads towards Heaven.
Job 2:13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights,
        and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that [his] grief was very great.
Job 3:1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
Job 3:2
        And Job answered and said,
Job 3:3 Let the day perish in which I was born,
         and the night [which] said, There is a man-child conceived.
Job 3:4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above,
         neither let the light shine upon it.
Job 3:5 Let darkness and the shades of death stain it.
        Let a cloud dwell upon it.
        Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
Job 3:6 Let darkness seize upon it, [for] that night.
        Let not be joined to the days of the year.
        Let it not come into the number of the months.
Job 3:7 Behold, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come in it.
Job 3:8 Let them curse it that curse the day,
         who are ready to raise up Leviathan.
Job 3:9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark.
        Let it look for light, but [have] none;
        neither let it see the dawning of the day:
Job 3:10 because it shut up not the doors of my [mother's] womb,
         nor hid sorrow from my eyes.
Job 3:11
         Why died I not from the womb?
        [Why] did I [not] expire at the time of my birth?
Job 3:12 Why did the knees receive me?
      Or why the breasts that I should be nursed?
Job 3:13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet,
         I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
Job 3:14 with kings and counsellors of the Earth,
          who built desolate places for themselves;
Job 3:15 or with princes that had gold,
          who filled their houses with silver:
Job 3:16 or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been;
          as infants [which] never saw light.
Job 3:17
        There the wicked cease [from] troubling;
         and there the weary are at rest.
Job 3:18 [There] the prisoners are at ease together;
          they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
Job 3:19 The small and great are there;
          and the servant [is] free from his master.
Job 3:20 Why is light given to him that is in misery,
          and life to the bitter of soul;
Job 3:21 who long for death, but it [comes] not;
          and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
Job 3:22 who rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad,
          when they can find the grave?
Job 3:23 [Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid,
          and whom God has hedged in?
Job 3:24 For my sighing comes before I eat,
          and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me,
          and that which I dreaded has come to me.
Job 3:26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest,
          neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Job 4:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite and said,
Job 4:2 [If] we essay to commune with Thee, shall Thou be grieved?
         But who can refrain from speaking?
Job 4:3 Behold, Thou have instructed many,
         and Thou have strengthened the weak hands.
Job 4:4 Thy words have upheld him that was falling,
         and Thou have strengthened the feeble knees.
Job 4:5 But now it has come upon Thee, and Thou faintest;
         it touches Thee, and Thou are troubled.
Job 4:6 [Is] not [this] Thy fear, Thy confidence,
         Thy hope, and the uprightness of Thy ways?
Job 4:7 Remember, I pray Thee, who [ever] perished, being innocent?
         Or where were the righteous cut off?
Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity,
         and sow wickedness, reap the same.
Job 4:9 By the blast of God they perish,
         and by the breath of His nostrils are they consumed.
Job 4:10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion,
          and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
Job 4:11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey,
          and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
Job 4:12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me,
          and my ear received a small sound of it.
Job 4:13 In thoughts from the visions of the night,
          when deep sleep falls on men.
Job 4:14 Fear came upon me, and trembling,
          which made all my bones to shake.
Job 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face;
          the hair of my flesh stood up:
Job 4:16 it stood still, but I could not discern its form:
          an image [was] before my eyes,
        [there was] silence, and I heard a voice, [saying],
Job 4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God?
         Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
Job 4:18 Behold, He put no trust in His servants;
          and His Angels He charged with folly:
Job 4:19 how much less [in] them that dwell in houses of clay,
        whose foundation [is] in the dust,
        [who] are crushed before the moth?
Job 4:20 They are destroyed from morning to evening.
         They perish forever without any regarding [it].
Job 4:21 Does not their excellence [which is] in them depart?
         They die, even without wisdom.
Job 5:1
        Call now, if there is any that shall answer Thee;
         and to which of the Saints shall Thou turn?
Job 5:2 For wrath kills the foolish man,
         and envy slays the silly one.
Job 5:3 I have seen the foolish taking root:
         but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Job 5:4 His sons are far from safety,
         and they are crushed in the gate,
         neither [is there] any to deliver [them].
Job 5:5 Whose harvest the hungry eats up,
         and takes it even out of the thorns,
         and the robber swallows up their substance.
Job 5:6 Although affliction comes not forth from the dust,
         neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
Job 5:7 yet man is born to trouble,
         as the sparks fly upward.
Job 5:8 I would seek to God,
         and to GOD would I commit my cause:
Job 5:9 who does great things and unsearchable;
         wonderful things without number:
Job 5:10 who gives rain upon the Earth,
          and sends waters upon the fields:
Job 5:11 to set on high those that are low:
          that those who mourn may be exalted to safety.
Job 5:12
         He disappoints the devices of the crafty,
          so that their hands cannot perform [their] enterprise.
Job 5:13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness:
          and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong. [1Co 3:19]
Job 5:14 They meet with darkness in the day-time,
          and grope in the noon as in the night.
Job 5:15
         But He saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth,
          and from the hand of the mighty.
Job 5:16 So the poor has hope,
          and iniquity stops her mouth.
Job 5:17 Behold, blessed [is] the man whom God corrects:
          therefore despise not Thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Job 5:18 for He makes sore, and binds up:
         He wounds, and His hands heal.
Job 5:19 He shall deliver Thee in six troubles:
         and in seven there shall no evil touch Thee.
Job 5:20 In famine He shall redeem Thee from death:
          and in war from the power of the sword.
Job 5:21 Thou shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue:
          neither shall Thou be afraid of destruction when it comes.
Job 5:22 At destruction and famine Thou shall laugh:
          neither shall Thou be afraid of the animals of the Earth.
Job 5:23 For Thou shall be in league with the stones of the field:
          and the animals of the field shall be at peace with Thee.
Job 5:24 And Thou shall know that Thy Tabernacle [shall be] in peace;
          and Thou shall visit Thy habitation, and shall not miss.
Job 5:25 And Thou shall know also that Thy seed [shall be] great,
          and Thy offspring as the grass of the Earth.
Job 5:26 Thou shall come to [Thy] grave in a full age,
          as a shock of grain comes in its season.
Job 5:27 Behold this, we have searched it, so it [is];
          hear it, and know Thou [it] for Thy good.

Job 6:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 6:2 that my grief were thoroughly weighed,
         and my calamity laid together in the balances!
Job 6:3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea:
         therefore my words are swallowed up.
Job 6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me,
        the poison of which drinks up my spirit:
        the terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
Job 6:5 Does the wild ass bray when he has grass?
         Or lows the ox over his fodder?
Job 6:6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt?
         Or is there [any] taste in the white of an egg?
Job 6:7 The things [that] my soul refused to touch [are] as my sorrowful food.
Job 6:8 That I might have my request;
         and that God would grant me the thing that I hope for!
Job 6:9 Even that it would please God to destroy me;
         that He would let loose His hand, and cut me off!
Job 6:10 Then should I yet have comfort;
         and I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare;
          for I have not concealed the words of the Holy [One].
Job 6:11 What [is] my strength, that I should hope?
     And what [is] my end, that I should prolong my soul?
Job 6:12 [Is] my strength the strength of stones?
          Or [is] my flesh of bronze?
Job 6:13 [Is] not my help in me?
          And is wisdom driven quite from me?
Job 6:14 To him that is afflicted pity [should be shown] from his friend;
          but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
Job 6:15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook,
         [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away;
Job 6:16 which are darkened of the ice,
          [and] hidden by the snow:
Job 6:17 in the time when they become warm, they vanish:
          when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Job 6:18 The paths of their way are turned aside;
          they go to nothing, and perish.
Job 6:19 The troops of Tema looked,
          the companies of Sheba waited for them.
Job 6:20 They were ashamed because they had hoped;
         they came there, and were confounded.
Job 6:21 For now ye are nothing:
          ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
Job 6:22 Did I say, Bring to me?
         Or Give a reward for me of your substance?
Job 6:23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand?
         Or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
Job 6:24 Teach me, and I shall be silent:
          and cause me to understand in what I have erred.
Job 6:25 How forcible are right words!
          But what does your arguing reprove?
Job 6:26 Do ye imagine to reprove words,
          and the speeches of one that as wind despair?
Job 6:27 Yes, ye overwhelm the fatherless,
          and ye dig [a pit] for your friend.
Job 6:28 And now be content, look upon me;
          for [it is] evident to you if I lie.
Job 6:29 Return, I pray you, let there not be iniquity;
          and return back, my righteousness [is] in it.
Job 6:30 Is there iniquity in my tongue?
          Or cannot my taste discern perverse things?
Job 7:1
        [Is there] not an appointed time to man upon Earth?
        [Are not] his days also like the days of a hireling?
Job 7:2 As a servant earnestly desires the shadow,
    and as a hireling looks for [the reward of] his work;
Job 7:3 so [am] I made to possess months of vanity,
         and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
Job 7:4 When I lie down, I say,
        When shall I arise, and the night be gone?
        And I [am] full of tossings back and forth to the twilight.
Job 7:5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust.
        My skin is broken and become loathsome.
Job 7:6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,
         and are spent without hope.
Job 7:7 Remember that my life [is] wind:
         my eye shall no more see good.
Job 7:8 The eye of him that has seen me shall see me no [more]:
        Thy eyes [are] upon me, and I [am] not.
Job 7:9 [As] the cloud is consumed and vanishes away:
         so he who goes down to Sheol shall come up no [more].
Job 7:10 He shall return no more to his house,
         neither shall his place know him any more.
Job 7:11 Therefore I shall not restrain my mouth;
        I shall speak in the anguish of my spirit;
        I shall complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 7:12 [Am] I a sea, or a monster,
          that Thou sets a watch over me?
Job 7:13 When I say, my bedstead shall comfort me,
          my bed shall ease my complaint;
Job 7:14 then Thou scare me with dreams,
          and terrify me through visions:
Job 7:15 so that my soul chooses strangling,
         [and] death rather than my bones{life}.
Job 7:16 I loathe [it]; I would not live always:
          let me alone; for my days [are] vanity.
Job 7:17 What [is] man, that Thou should magnify him?
          And that Thou should set Thy heart upon him?
Job 7:18 And [that] Thou should visit him every morning,
        [and] try him every moment?
Job 7:19 Until when shall Thou not depart from me,
          nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?
Job 7:20 I have sinned; what shall I do to Thee, Thou preserver of men?
        Why have Thou set me as a mark against Thee,
        so that I [am] a burden to myself?
Job 7:21 And why do Thou not pardon my transgression,
         and take away my iniquity?
        For now shall I sleep in the dust;
        and Thou shall seek me in the morning, but I [shall] not [be].

Job 8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Job 8:2 until when shall Thou speak these [things]?
        And [until when shall] the words of Thy mouth [be like] a strong wind?
Job 8:3 Does God pervert judgment;
         or does the Almighty pervert justice?
Job 8:4 If Thy sons have sinned against Him,
         and He has cast them away for their transgression.
Job 8:5 If Thou would seek early to God,
         and make Thy supplication to the Almighty;
Job 8:6 If Thou [were] pure and upright;
         surely now He would awake for Thee,
        and make the habitation of Thy righteousness prosperous.
Job 8:7 Though Thy beginning was small,
         yet Thy latter end would greatly increase.
Job 8:8 For inquire, I pray Thee, of the former generation,
         and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
Job 8:9 (for we [are but of] yesterday, and know nothing,
         because our days upon Earth [are] a shadow).
Job 8:10 Shall they not teach Thee, [and] tell Thee,
          and utter words out of their heart?
Job 8:11 Can the rush grow without mire?
         Can the flag grow without water?
Job 8:12 While it [is] yet in its greenness, [and] not cut down,
        it withers before any [other] herb.
Job 8:13 So [are] the paths of all that forget God;
          and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
Job 8:14 whose hope shall be cut off,
          and whose trust [shall be] a spider's web.
Job 8:15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand:
         he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
Job 8:16 He [is] green before the sun, and his branch shoots forth in his garden.
Job 8:17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, [and] sees the place of stones.
Job 8:18 If He shall destroy him from his place,
         then [it] shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen Thee.
Job 8:19 Behold, this [is] the joy of His way,
          and out of the dust shall others grow.
Job 8:20 Behold, God shall not cast away a perfect [man],
          neither shall He help the evil-doers:
Job 8:21 until He shall fill Thy mouth with laughing,
        and Thy lips with rejoicing.
Job 8:22 They that hate Thee shall be clothed with shame;
        and the tents of the wicked shall come to naught.

Job 9:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 9:2 I know [it to be] so of a truth:
        but how should man be just with God?
Job 9:3 If he shall contend with Him,
         he cannot answer Him one of a thousand.
Job 9:4 [He is] wise of heart, and mighty in strength:
         Who has hardened [himself] against Him, and has prospered?
Job 9:5  Who removes the mountains, and they know not.
         Who overturns them in His anger.
Job 9:6  Who shakes the Earth out of her place, and its pillars tremble.
Job 9:7  Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and seals up the stars.
Job 9:8  Who alone spreads out the Heavens, and treads upon the waves of the sea.
Job 9:9  Who makes Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
Job 9:10 Who does great things past finding out; and wonders without number.
Job 9:11
        Behold, He goes by me, and I see [Him] not:
         He passes on also, but I perceive [Him] not.
Job 9:12 Behold, He takes away, who can hinder Him?
          Who shall say to Him, What do Thou?
Job 9:13 God shall not withdraw His anger,
         the proud helpers do stoop under Him.
Job 9:14 How much less shall I answer Him,
         [and] choose out my words [to reason] with Him?
Job 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer,
         [but] I would make supplication to my judge.
Job 9:16 If I had called, and He had answered me;
         [yet] I would not believe that He had listened to my voice.
Job 9:17 For He breaks me with a tempest,
         and multiplies my wounds without cause.
Job 9:18 He shall not permit me to take my breath,
          but fills me with bitterness.
Job 9:19 If [I speak] of strength, behold, [He is] strong:
          and if of judgment, who shall set me a time [to plead]?
Job 9:20 If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me:
         [if I say], I [am] perfect, that also shall prove me perverse.
Job 9:21 [Though] I [were] perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul:
          I would despise my life.
Job 9:22 This [is] one [thing], therefore I said [it],
         He destroys the perfect and the wicked.
Job 9:23 If the scourge shall slay suddenly,
         He shall laugh at the trial of the innocent.
Job 9:24 The Earth is given into the hand of the wicked:
          He covers the faces of its judges;
          if not, where, [and] who [is] He?
Job 9:25 Now my days are swifter than a racer:
          they flee away, they see no good.
Job 9:26 They are passed away as the swift ships:
          as the eagle [that] hastens to the prey.
Job 9:27 If I say, I shall forget my complaint,
          I shall leave off my heaviness, and smile:
Job 9:28 I [am] afraid of all my sorrows,
         I know that Thou shall not hold me innocent.
Job 9:29 [If] I [am] wicked, why then do I labour in vain?
Job 9:30 If I wash myself with snow water,
          and make my hands never so clean;
Job 9:31 yet shall Thou plunge me in the ditch,
          and my own clothes shall abhor me.
Job 9:32 For [He is] not a man, as I [am], [that] I should answer Him,
         [and] we should come together in judgment;
Job 9:33 neither is there any judge between us,
         [that] might lay his hand upon us both.
Job 9:34 Let Him take away His rod from me,
          and let not His fear terrify me:
Job 9:35 [then] would I speak, and not fear Him;
          but [it is] not so with me.
Job 10:1
        My soul is weary of my life;
         I shall leave my complaint upon myself;
         I shall speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 10:2 I shall say to God, Do not condemn me;
        show me why Thou contend with me.
Job 10:3 [Is it] good to Thee that Thou should oppress,
         that Thou should despise the work of Thy hands,
         and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
Job 10:4 Have Thou eyes of flesh?
         Or see Thou as man sees?
Job 10:5 [Are] Thy days as the days of man?
         [Are] Thy years as man's days,
Job 10:6 that Thou inquire after my iniquity,
          and search after my sin?
Job 10:7 Thou know that I [am] not wicked;
          and [there is] none that can deliver out of Thy hand.
Job 10:8 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me in all my parts;
          yet Thou do destroy me.
Job 10:9 Remember, I beseech Thee, that Thou have made me as the clay;
          and shall Thou bring me into dust again?
Job 10:10 Have Thou not poured me out as milk,
           and curdled me like cheese?
Job 10:11 Thou have clothed me with skin and flesh,
           and have fenced me with bones and sinews.
Job 10:12 Thou have granted me life and favour,
           and Thy visitation has preserved my spirit.
Job 10:13 And these [things] have Thou hid in Thy heart:
           I know that this [is] with Thee.
Job 10:14 If I sin, then Thou mark me,
           and Thou shall not acquit me from my iniquity.
Job 10:15 If I be wicked, woe to me! And [if] I be righteous, [yet] shall I not lift up my head.
          [I am] full of confusion; therefore see Thou my affliction;
Job 10:16 for it increases. Thou hunt me as a fierce lion:
          and again Thou show Thyself wonderful upon me.
Job 10:17 Thou renew Thy witnesses against me,
          and increase Thy indignation upon me;
          changes and war [are] against me.
Job 10:18 Why then have Thou brought me forth from the womb?
           That I had expired, and no eye had seen me!
Job 10:19 I should have been as though I had not been;
          I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Job 10:20 [Are] not my days few? Cease [then],
          [and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Job 10:21 before I go [whence] I shall not return,
          to the land of darkness, and the shades of death;
Job 10:22 a land of darkness, as darkness [itself];
         [and] of the shades of death, without any order,
          and [where] the light [is] as darkness.

Job 11:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Job 11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered?
          And should a man full of talk be justified?
Job 11:3 Should Thy falsehoods make men hold their peace?
          And when Thou mock, shall no man make Thee ashamed?
Job 11:4 For Thou have said, My doctrine [is] pure,
          and I have been clean in Thy eyes.
Job 11:5 But that God would speak,
          and open His lips against Thee;
Job 11:6 and that He would show Thee the secrets of wisdom,
          that [they are] double to that which is!
         Know therefore that God exacts of Thee [less] than Thy iniquity [deserves].
Job 11:7 Can Thou by searching find out God?
         Can Thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
Job 11:8 [It is] as high as Heaven; what can Thou do?
          Deeper than Sheol; what can Thou know?
Job 11:9 The measure of it [is] longer than the Earth,
          and broader than the sea.
Job 11:10 If He shall cut off, and shut up,
           or gather together, then who can hinder Him?
Job 11:11 For He knows vain men:
          He sees wickedness also; shall He not then consider [it]?
Job 11:12 For hollow man takes heart{smarter},
           though man is born [like] a wild ass' colt.
Job 11:13 If Thou prepare Thy heart,
           and stretch out Thy hands towards Him;
Job 11:14 if iniquity [is] in Thy hand, put it far away,
           and let not wickedness dwell in Thy Tabernacles.
Job 11:15 For then shall Thou lift up Thy face without spot;
           and Thou shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
Job 11:16 because Thou shall forget [Thy] misery,
          [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:
Job 11:17 and [Thy] age shall be clearer than the noon:
          Thou shall shine forth, Thou shall be as the morning.
Job 11:18 And Thou shall be secure, because there is hope;
          and Thou shall dig [about Thee, and] Thou shall take Thy rest in safety.
Job 11:19 And Thou shall lie down, and none shall make [Thee] afraid;
          many shall make suit to Thee.
Job 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
          and they shall not escape,
          and their hope [shall be as] the expiration of the soul.

Job 12:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 12:2 No doubt but ye [are] the people,
          and wisdom shall die with you.
Job 12:3 But I have a heart{understanding} as well as you;
         I [am] not inferior to you:
           and who knows not such things as these?
Job 12:4 I [am as] one mocked by his neighbour, who calls upon God,
          and He answers him: the just upright [man is] derided.
Job 12:5 [As] a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease,
           he who is ready to slip with [his] feet.
Job 12:6 The tents of robbers prosper,
          and they that provoke God are secure;
          into whose hand God brings [abundantly].
Job 12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach Thee;
        and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell Thee:
Job 12:8 or speak to the Earth, and it shall teach Thee:
        and the fishes of the sea shall declare to Thee.
Job 12:9 Who knows not in all these,
          that the hand of the LORD has wrought this?
Job 12:10 In whose hand [is] the soul of every living thing,
          and the breath of all mankind.
Job 12:11 Does not the ear try words?
          And the mouth tastes its food?
Job 12:12 With the ancient [is] wisdom;
           and in length of days understanding.
Job 12:13 With Him [is] wisdom and strength,
          He has counsel and understanding.
Job 12:14 Behold, He breaks down, and it cannot be built again:
          He shuts up a man, and there can be no opening.
Job 12:15 Behold, He withholds the waters, and they dry up:
          also He sends them out, and they overturn the Earth.
Job 12:16 With Him [is] strength and wisdom:
           the deceived and the deceiver [are] His.
Job 12:17 He leads counsellors away spoiled,
           and makes the judges fools.
Job 12:18 He looses the bond of kings,
           and girds their loins with a girdle.
Job 12:19 He leads princes away spoiled,
           and overthrows the mighty.
Job 12:20 He removes away the speech of the trusty,
           and takes away the understanding of the aged.
Job 12:21 He pours contempt upon princes,
           and weakens the girdle{strength} of the mighty.
Job 12:22 He reveals deep things out of darkness,
           and brings to light the shades of death.
Job 12:23 He increases nations, and destroys them:
          He enlarges nations, and straitens them.
Job 12:24 He takes away the heart of the chief of the people of the Earth,
           and causes them to wander in a wilderness [where there is] no way.
Job 12:25 They grope in the dark without light,
           and He makes them to stagger like a drunken [man].
Job 13:1
         Behold, my eye has seen all [this],
         my ear has heard and understood it.
Job 13:2 What ye know, [the same] do I know also:
         I [am] not inferior to you.
Job 13:3 Surely, I would speak to the Almighty,
         and I desire to reason with God.
Job 13:4 But ye [are] forgers of lies,
         ye [are] all physicians of no value.
Job 13:5 That ye would altogether be silent,
         and it would be your wisdom.
Job 13:6 Hear now my reasoning,
          and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
Job 13:7 Will ye speak wickedly for God?
         And talk deceitfully for Him?
Job 13:8 Will ye accept his person?
         Will ye contend for God?
Job 13:9 Is it good that He should search you out?
         Or as one man mocks another, do ye [so] mock Him?
Job 13:10 He shall surely reprove you,
           if ye do secretly accept persons.
Job 13:11 Shall not his excellence make you afraid?
           And his dread fall upon you?
Job 13:12 Your remembrances [are] like to ashes,
          your bodies to bodies of clay.
Job 13:13 Be silent, let me alone, that I may speak,
           and let come on me what [will].
Job 13:14 Why do I take my flesh in my teeth,
           and put my soul in my hand?
Job 13:15 Though He shall slay me, yet shall I hope in Him:
           but I shall maintain my own ways before Him.
Job 13:16 He also [shall be] my Salvation:
           for a hypocrite shall not come before Him.
Job 13:17 Hear diligently my speech,
           and my declaration with your ears.
Job 13:18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause;
           I know that I shall be justified.
Job 13:19 Who [is] he [that] shall plead with me?
           For now I would be silent, I shall expire.
Job 13:20 Only do not two [things] to me:
           then shall I not hide myself from Thee.
Job 13:21 Withdraw Thy hand far from me:
           and let not Thy dread make me afraid.
Job 13:22 Then call Thou, and I shall answer:
           or let me speak, and answer Thou me.
Job 13:23 How many [are] my iniquities and sins?
          Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
Job 13:24 Why hide Thou Thy face,
           and hold me for Thy enemy?
Job 13:25 Will Thou break a leaf driven back and forth?
          And shall Thou pursue the dry stubble?
Job 13:26 For Thou write bitter things against me,
           and make me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
Job 13:27 Thou put my feet also in the stocks,
          and look narrowly to all my paths;
          Thou sets a print upon the heels of my feet.
Job 13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumes,
           as a garment that is moth-eaten.
Job 14:1 Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble.
Job 14:2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down:
         He flees also as a shadow, and continues not.
Job 14:3 And do Thou open Thy eyes upon such one,
         and bring me into judgment with Thee?
Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean [thing] out of an unclean? Not one.
Job 14:5 Seeing his days [are] determined,
         the number of his months [is] with Thee,
         Thou have appointed his bounds that He cannot pass;
Job 14:6 turn from him, that He may rest,
         until He shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
Job 14:7 For there is hope of a tree,
         if it is cut down, that it shall sprout again,
         and that its tender branch shall not cease.
Job 14:8 Though its root shall become old in the earth,
          and its stock die in the dust{ground};
Job 14:9 [yet] through the scent of water it shall bud,
          and bring forth boughs like a plant.
Job 14:10 But man dies, and wastes away:
          and man expires, and where [is] he?
Job 14:11 [As] the waters fail from the sea,
          and the flood decays and dries up:
Job 14:12 so man lies down, and rises not:
          until the Heavens [shall be] no more, they shall not awake,
          nor be raised out of their sleep;
Job 14:13 that Thou would hide me in Sheol,
          that Thou would keep me secret, until Thy wrath is past,
          that Thou would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
Job 14:14 If a man dies, shall He live [again]?
          All the days of my appointed time shall I wait, until my change shall come.
Job 14:15 Thou shall call, and I shall answer Thee:
          Thou shall have a desire to the work of Thy hands.
Job 14:16 For now Thou number my steps:
           do Thou not watch over my sin?
Job 14:17 My transgression [is] sealed up in a bag,
           and Thou sew up my iniquity.
Job 14:18 And surely the mountain falling crumbles away,
           and the rock is removed out of its place.
Job 14:19 The waters wear the stones:
           Thou wash away the things which grow [out] of the dust of the Earth;
       and Thou destroy the hope of man.
Job 14:20  Thou prevail forever against him, and he passes:
           Thou change his countenance, and send him away.
Job 14:21 His sons come to honour, and he knows [it] not;
          and they are brought low, but he perceives [it] not of them.
Job 14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain,
          and his soul within him shall mourn.

Job 15:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite and said,
Job 15:2 Should wise men utter vain knowledge,
          and fill his belly with the east wind?
Job 15:3 Should He reason with unprofitable talk?
          Or with speeches with which He can do no good?
Job 15:4 Yes, Thou cast off fear,
          and restrain prayer before God.
Job 15:5 For Thy mouth teaches Thy iniquity,
          and Thou choose the tongue of the crafty.
Job 15:6 Thy own mouth condemns Thee, and not I:
          and Thy own lips testify against Thee.
Job 15:7 [Are] Thou the first man [that] was born?
          Or were Thou made before the hills?
Job 15:8 Have Thou heard the secret of God?
          And do Thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
Job 15:9 What know Thou that we know not?
        [What] understand Thou, which [is] not in us?
Job 15:10 With us [are] both the grey-headed and very aged men,
           much older than Thy father.
Job 15:11 [Are] the consolations of God small with Thee?
           Is there any secret thing with Thee?
Job 15:12 Why does Thy heart carry Thee away?
           And what do Thy eyes wink at,
Job 15:13 that Thou turn Thy spirit against God,
           and let [such] words go out of Thy mouth?
Job 15:14 What [is] man, that he should be clean?
           He [who is] born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Job 15:15 Behold, He puts no trust in His Saints;
           and the Heavens are not clean in His sight.
Job 15:16 How much more abominable and filthy [is] man,
           who drinks iniquity like water?
Job 15:17 I shall show Thee, hear me;
           and that [which] I have seen, I shall declare;
Job 15:18 which wise men have told,
           from their fathers, and have not hid [it]:
Job 15:19 to whom alone the Earth was given,
           and no stranger passed among them.
Job 15:20 The wicked [man] travails with pain all [his] days,
           and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
Job 15:21 A dreadful sound [is] in his ears:
           in welfare the destroyer shall come upon him.
Job 15:22 He believes not that he shall return out of darkness.
          He is waited for by the sword.
Job 15:23 He wanders abroad for bread, [saying], Where [is it]?
          He knows that the day of darkness is ready at His hand.
Job 15:24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid;
           they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
Job 15:25 For he stretches out his hand against God,
           and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
Job 15:26 He runs upon Him, on [his] neck,
           upon the thick bosses of his shields:
Job 15:27 because he covers his face with his fatness,
           and makes bulges of fat on [his] flanks.
Job 15:28 And he dwells in desolate cities,
          [and] in houses which no man inhabits,
           which are ready to become heaps.
Job 15:29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue,
           neither shall he prolong the perfection of it upon the Earth.
Job 15:30 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.
Job 15:31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity:
           for vanity shall be his recompense.
Job 15:32 It shall be accomplished before his time,
           and his branch shall not be green.
Job 15:33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine,
           and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
Job 15:34 For the Congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate,
           and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
Job 15:35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity,
           and their belly prepares deceit.

Job 16:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 16:2 I have heard many such things:
          miserable comforters [are] ye all.
Job 16:3 Shall vain words have an end?
          Or what emboldens Thee that Thou answer?
Job 16:4 I also could speak as ye [do]:
         if your soul were in my soul's stead,
         I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you.
Job 16:5 I would strengthen you with my mouth,
          and the moving of my lips should assuage [your grief].
Job 16:6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged:
          and [though] I forbear, what [am] I eased?
Job 16:7 But now He has made me weary:
          Thou have made desolate all my company.
Job 16:8 And Thou have filled me with wrinkles, [which] is a witness [against me]:
          and my leanness rising up in me bears witness to my face.
Job 16:9 He tears me in His wrath, who hates me:
         He gnashes upon me with His teeth;
         my enemy sharpens his eyes upon me.
Job 16:10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth;
          they have smitten me reproachfully upon the cheek;
          they have gathered themselves against me.
Job 16:11 God has delivered me to the unjust,
           and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
Job 16:12 I have been at ease, but He has broken me asunder:
          He has also taken me by my neck,
           and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for His mark.
Job 16:13 His archers surround me; He cleaves my reins asunder,
           and does not spare; He pours out my gall upon the ground.
Job 16:14 He breaks me with breach upon breach, He runs upon me like a giant.
Job 16:15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin,
           and defiled my horn in the dust.
Job 16:16 My face is foul with weeping,
           and on my eyelids [are] the shades of death;
Job 16:17 not for [any] injustice in my hands:
           also my prayer [is] pure.
Job 16:18 Earth, cover not Thou my blood,
           and let my cry have no place.
Job 16:19 Also now, behold, my Witness [is] in Heaven,
           and my Record [is] on high.
Job 16:20 My friends scorn me:
          [but] my eye pours out [tears] to God.
Job 16:21 That one might plead for a man with God,
           as a man [pleads] for his neighbour!
Job 16:22 When a [few] number of years are come,
           then I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return.

          the graves [are ready] for me.
Job 17:2 [Are there] not mockers with me?
          And does not my eye continue in their provocation?
Job 17:3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with Thee;
          who [is] he [that] shall strike hands with me?
Job 17:4 For Thou have hid their heart from understanding:
          therefore shall Thou not exalt [them].
Job 17:5 He who speaks flattery to [his] friends,
          even the eyes of his sons shall fail.
Job 17:6 He has made me also a by-word of the people;
          and they spit in my face.
Job 17:7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow,
          and all my members [are] as a shade.
Job 17:8 Upright [men] shall be astonished at this,
          and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
Job 17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way,
          and he who has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
Job 17:10 But as for you all, do ye return,
           and come now: for I cannot find [one] wise [man] among you.
Job 17:11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off,
           the thoughts of my heart.
Job 17:12 They change the night into day:
           the light [is] short because of darkness.

          I have made my couch in the darkness.
Job 17:14 I have said to corruption, Thou [are] my father:
           to the worm, Thou [are] my mother, and my sister.
Job 17:15 And where [is] now my hope?
           As for my hope, who shall see it?
Job 17:16 They shall go down to the bars of Sheol,
           when [our] rest together [is] in the dust.

Job 18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Job 18:2 Until when [shall it be before] ye make an end of words?
          Mark, and afterwards we shall speak.
Job 18:3 Why are we counted as beasts,
         [and] reputed vile in your sight?
Job 18:4 He tears his soul in his anger:
          shall the Earth be forsaken for Thee?
          And shall the rock be removed out of its place?
Job 18:5 Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out,
          and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
Job 18:6 The light shall be dark in his tent,
          and his lamp shall be put out with him.
Job 18:7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened,
          and his own counsel shall cast him down.
Job 18:8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet.
          He walks upon a snare.
Job 18:9 The trap shall take him by the heel,
         [and] the robber shall prevail against him.
Job 18:10 The snare [is] laid for him in the ground,
          and a trap for him in the path.
Job 18:11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side,
           and shall drive him to his feet.
Job 18:12 His strength shall be hunger-bitten,
           and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.
Job 18:13 It shall devour the strength of his skin:
          the first-born of death shall devour his strength.
Job 18:14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent,
           and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
Job 18:15 It shall dwell in his tent, because [it is] none of his:
           brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
Job 18:16 His roots shall be dried up beneath,
           and above shall his branch be cut off.
Job 18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the Earth.
          He shall have no name in the street.
Job 18:18 He shall be driven from light into darkness,
           and chased out of the World.

           nor any remaining in his dwellings.
Job 18:20 They that come after him shall be astonished at his day,
          as they that went before were affrighted.
Job 18:21 Surely, such [are] the dwellings of the wicked,
           and this [is] the place [of him that] knows not God.

Job 19:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 19:2 Until when shall ye vex my soul,
          and break me in pieces with words?
Job 19:3 These ten times have ye reproached me:
          ye are not ashamed [that] ye make yourselves strange to me.
Job 19:4 And be it indeed [that] I have erred,
          my error remains with myself.
Job 19:5 If indeed ye shall magnify [yourselves] against me,
          and plead against me my reproach:
Job 19:6 know now that God has overthrown me,
          and has enclosed me with his net.
Job 19:7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I [am] not replied:
          I cry aloud, but [there is] no judgment.
Job 19:8  He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass,
      and He has set darkness in my paths.
Job 19:9  He has stripped me of my glory,
           and taken the crown [from] my head.
Job 19:10 He has destroyed me on every side, and I [am] gone:
           and my hope has He removed like a tree.
Job 19:11 He has also kindled His wrath against me,
      and He counts me as [one of] His enemies.
Job 19:12 His troops come together,
           and raise up their way against me,
           and encamp around my Tent.
Job 19:13 He has put my brethren far from me,
           and my acquaintance are truly estranged from me.
Job 19:14 My kinsmen have failed,
           and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
Job 19:15 They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger:
           I have been an alien in their sight.
Job 19:16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer;
          I entreated him with my mouth.
Job 19:17 My breath is strange to my wife,
           though I entreated for the sons' [sake] of my own body.
Job 19:18 Yes, young children despised me;
           I arose, and they spoke against me.
Job 19:19 All my intimate friends abhorred me:
           and they whom I loved are turned against me.
Job 19:20 My bone cleaves to my skin and to my flesh,
           and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.
Job 19:21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends;
           for the hand of God has touched me.
Job 19:22 Why do ye persecute me as God,
           and are not satisfied with my flesh?
Job 19:23 That my words were now written!
          That they were printed in a book!
Job 19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen in lead,
           forever in the rock!
Job 19:25 For I know [that] my Redeemer lives,
           and at last He shall rise up upon the dust:
Job 19:26 and after this they destroyed my skin,
           yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Job 19:27 whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold,
           and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me.
Job 19:28 But ye would say, Why persecute we him,
           seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
Job 19:29 Be ye afraid of the sword:
           for wrath [brings] the punishments of the sword,
           that ye may know [there] is a judgment.

Job 20:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Job 20:2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer,
          and for [this] I make haste.
Job 20:3 I have heard the check of my reproach,
          and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.
Job 20:4 Know Thou [not] this of old,
          since man was placed upon Earth,
Job 20:5 that the triumphing of the wicked [is] short,
          and the joy of the hypocrite [but] for a moment?
Job 20:6 Though his excellence shall mount up to the Heavens,
          and his head reach to the clouds;
Job 20:7 [yet] he shall perish forever like his own dung:
          they who have seen him shall say, Where [is] he?
Job 20:8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found:
          and he, shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
Job 20:9 The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more;
          neither shall his place any more behold him.
Job 20:10 His sons shall seek to please the poor,
           and his hands shall restore their goods.
Job 20:11 His bones are full [of the sin] of his youth,
           which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Job 20:12 Though wickedness may be sweet in his mouth,
         [though] he may hide it under his tongue.
Job 20:13 [Though] he may spare it, and forsake it not;
           but keep it still within his mouth:
Job 20:14 [yet] his food in his bowels is turned,
          [it is] the gall of asps within him.
Job 20:15 He has swallowed down riches, and He shall vomit them up again:
          God shall cast them out of His belly.
Job 20:16 He shall suck the poison of asps:
           the viper's tongue shall slay him.
Job 20:17 He shall not see the river,
           the floods, the brooks of honey and curd.
Job 20:18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow [it]:
           according to [his] substance [shall] the restitution [be], and he shall not rejoice [in it];
Job 20:19
          because he has oppressed [and] has forsaken the poor;
         [because] he has violently taken away a house which he did not build.
Job 20:20 Surely, he shall not feel quietness in his belly,
           he shall not save of that which he desired.
Job 20:21 There shall none of his food be left;
          therefore shall no man look for his goods.
Job 20:22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:
           every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
Job 20:23 [When] he is about to fill his belly,
          He shall cast the fury of His wrath upon him,
          He shall rain [it] upon him while he is eating.
Job 20:24 He shall flee from the iron weapon,
          the bow of bronze shall strike him through.
Job 20:25 It is drawn, and comes out of the body;
           and the glittering sword comes out of his gall:
           terrors [are] upon him.
Job 20:26 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 tent.
Job 20:27 The Heaven shall reveal his iniquity;
           and the Earth shall rise up against him.
Job 20:28 The increase of his house shall depart,
           [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
Job 20:29 This [is] the portion of a wicked man from GOD,
          and the heritage appointed to him by God.

Job 21:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 21:2 Hear diligently my speech,
          and let this be your consolations.
Job 21:3 Bear me that I may speak;
          and after I have spoken, mock on.
Job 21:4 As for me, [is] my complaint to man?
          And if [it were so], why should not my spirit be troubled?
Job 21:5 Mark me, and be astonished,
          and lay [your] hand upon [your] mouth.
Job 21:6 Even when I remember I [am] afraid,
          and trembling takes hold on my flesh.
Job 21:7 Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, are mighty in power?
Job 21:8 Their seed is established in their sight with them,
          and their offspring before their eyes.
Job 21:9 Their houses [are] safe from fear,
          neither [is] the rod of God upon them.
Job 21:10 Their bull engenders, and fails not;
          their cow calves, and casts not her calf.
Job 21:11 They send forth their little ones like a flock,
           and their children dance.
Job 21:12 They take the timbrel and harp,
           and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
Job 21:13 They spend their days in wealth,
           and in a moment go down to Sheol.
Job 21:14
          Therefore they say to God, Depart from us;
           for we desire not the knowledge of Thy ways.
Job 21:15 What [is] the Almighty, that we should serve Him?
           And what profit should we have, if we pray to?
Job 21:16 Behold, their good [is] not in their hand:
           the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job 21:17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?
           And [how often] comes their destruction upon them?
           He distributes sorrows in His anger.
Job 21:18 They are as stubble before the wind,
           and as chaff that the storm carries away.
Job 21:19 God lays up his iniquity for his sons:
           He rewards him, and he shall know [it].
Job 21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction,
           and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Job 21:21 For what pleasure has he in his house after him,
           when the number of his months is cut off in the middle?
Job 21:22 Shall [any] teach God knowledge?
           Seeing He judges those that are high.
Job 21:23 One dies in his full strength,
           being wholly at ease and quiet.
Job 21:24 His pails are full of milk,
           and his bones are moistened with marrow.
Job 21:25 And another dies in the bitterness of his soul,
           and never eats with pleasure.
Job 21:26 They shall lie down alike in the dust,
           and the worms shall cover them.
Job 21:27
          Behold, I know your thoughts,
           and the devices [which] ye wrongfully imagine against me.
Job 21:28 For ye say, Where [is] the house of the prince?
           And where [are] the dwelling-places of the wicked?
Job 21:29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way?
           And do ye not know their signs,
Job 21:30 that the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?
           They shall be brought forth to a day of wrath.
Job 21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face?
           And who shall repay him [what] he has done?
Job 21:32 Yet he shall be brought to the grave,
           and shall remain in the tomb.
Job 21:33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him,
           and every man shall draw after him,
           as [there are] innumerable before him.
Job 21:34 How then comfort ye me in vain,
           seeing in your answers there remains falsehood?

Job 22:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite and said,
Job 22:2 Can a man be profitable to God,
          as he who is wise may be profitable to himself?
Job 22:3 [Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty, that Thou are righteous?
          Or [is it] gain [to him], that Thou make Thy ways perfect?
Job 22:4 Will He reprove Thee for fear of Thee?
         Will He enter with Thee into judgment?
Job 22:5 [Is] not Thy wickedness great?
         And Thy iniquities infinite?
Job 22:6 For Thou have taken a pledge from Thy brother for naught,
          and stripped the naked of their clothing.
Job 22:7 Thou have not given water to the weary to drink,
          and Thou have withheld bread from the hungry.
Job 22:8 But [as for] the mighty man, he had the Earth;
          and the honourable man dwelt in it.
Job 22:9 Thou have sent widows away empty,
          and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Job 22:10 Therefore snares [are] around Thee,
           and sudden fear troubles Thee;
Job 22:11 or darkness, [that] Thou cannot see;
           and abundance of waters cover Thee.
Job 22:12 [Is] not God in the height of Heaven?
           And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
Job 22:13 And Thou say, How does God know?
           Can He judge through the dark cloud?
Job 22:14 Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that He sees not;
           and He walks in the circuit of Heaven.
Job 22:15 Have Thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
Job 22:16 Who were cut down out of time,
           whose foundation was overflowed with a flood!
Job 22:17 Who said to God, depart from us:
           and what can the Almighty do for them?
Job 22:18 Yet He filled their houses with good [things]:
           but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job 22:19 The righteous see [it], and are glad:
           and the innocent deride them.
Job 22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down,
           but the remnant of them the fire consumes.
Job 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:
           by this good shall come to Thee.
Job 22:22 Receive, I pray Thee, the Law from His mouth,
           and lay up his words in Thy heart.
Job 22:23 If Thou shall return to the Almighty, Thou shall be built up,
           Thou shall put away iniquity far from Thy tents.
Job 22:24 Then shall Thou lay up gold as dust,
           and the [gold] of Ophir as the rocks of the brooks.
Job 22:25 And the Almighty shall be Thy gold and Thou shall have plenty of silver.
Job 22:26 For then shall Thou have Thy delight in the Almighty,
           and shall lift up Thy face to God.
Job 22:27 Thou shall make Thy prayer to him, and He shall hear Thee,
      and Thou shall pay Thy vows.
Job 22:28 And Thou shall decree a thing, and it shall be established to Thee:
           and the light shall shine upon Thy ways.
Job 22:29 When [men] are cast down, then Thou shall say, [There is] exaltation;
           and He shall save the humble person.
Job 22:30 He shall deliver even him that is not innocent:
           and it is delivered by the pureness of Thy hands.

Job 23:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 23:2 Even today [is] my complaint bitter.
          My stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Job 23:3 That I knew where I might find Him!
        [That] I might come to His seat!
Job 23:4 I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Job 23:5 I would know the words [which] He would answer me,
          and understand what He would say to me.
Job 23:6 Would He plead against me with [His] great power?
          No; but He would put [it] in me.
Job 23:7 There the righteous might dispute with him;
          so should I be delivered forever from my Judge.
Job 23:8
        Behold, I go forward, but He [is] not [there];
         and backward, but I cannot perceive Him:
Job 23:9 on the left [hand], where He does work, but I cannot behold [Him]:
          He hides Himself on the right [hand], that I cannot see [Him]:
Job 23:10 but he knows the way that I take:
          [when] He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Job 23:11 My foot has held His steps,
           His way have I kept, and not declined;
Job 23:12 neither have I gone back from the Commandment of His lips;
           I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my portion.
Job 23:13 But he [is] in one [mind], and who can turn Him?
           And [what] His soul desires, even [that] He does.
Job 23:14 For He performs [the thing that is] appointed for me:
           and many such [things are] with Him.
Job 23:15 Therefore [am] I troubled at His presence:
           when I consider, I [am] afraid of Him.
Job 23:16 For God makes my heart soft,
           and the Almighty troubles me:
Job 23:17 because I was not cut off before the darkness,
           [neither] has He covered the darkness from my face.
Job 24:1 Why, seeing times [are] not hid from the Almighty,
          do they that know him not see his days?
Job 24:2 They remove the landmarks:
         they violently take away flocks, and [their] feed.
Job 24:3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless,
         they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
Job 24:4 They turn the needy out of the way:
          the poor of the Earth hide themselves together.
Job 24:5
        Behold, [as] wild asses in the desert,
        they go forth to their work; rising early for a prey:
        the wilderness [yields] food for them [and] for [their] children.
Job 24:6 They reap [every one] his grain in the field:
          and they gather the vineyard of the wicked.
Job 24:7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing,
          that [they have] no covering in the cold.
Job 24:8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
          and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
Job 24:9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast,
          and take a pledge of the poor.
Job 24:10 They cause him to go naked without clothing,
           and they take away the sheaf [from] the hungry;
Job 24:11 [who] make oil within their walls,
          [and] tread [their] winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Job 24:12
          Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded cries out:
           yet God lays not folly [to them].
Job 24:13 They are of those that rebel against the light;
           they know not its ways, nor abide in its paths.
Job 24:14 The murderer rising with the light kills the poor and needy,
           and in the night is as a thief.
Job 24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
           saying, No eye shall see me: and disguises [his] face.
Job 24:16 In the dark they dig through houses,
           [which] they had marked for themselves in the day-time: they know not the light.
Job 24:17 For the morning [is] to them even as the shades of death:
           if [one] knows [them], [they are in] the terrors of the shades of death.
Job 24:18 He [is] swift as the waters;
           their portion is cursed in the Earth:
           He beholds not the way of the vineyards.
Job 24:19 Drought and heat consume the snow-waters:
          [so does] Sheol [those who] have sinned.
Job 24:20 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.
Job 24:21 He oppresses the barren [that] bears not:
           and does not good to the widow.
Job 24:22 He draws also the mighty with his power:
          He rises up, and no [man] is sure of life.
Job 24:23 [Though] it is given him [to be] in safety,
          on which He rests; yet his eyes [are] upon their ways.
Job 24:24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low;
          they are taken out of the way as all [Others], and cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
Job 24:25 And if [it is] not [so] now, who shall make me a liar,
           and make my speech of no worth?

Job 25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Job 25:2 Dominion and fear [are] with him,
          He makes peace in his high places.
Job 25:3 Is there any number of his armies?
          And upon whom does not his light arise?
Job 25:4 How then can man be justified with God?
          Or how can he be clean [that is] born of a woman?
Job 25:5 Behold even to the moon, and it shines not;
          and the stars are not pure in His eyes.
Job 25:6 How much less man, [that is] a worm;
          and a son of Man, [who is] a worm?

Job 26:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 26:2 How have Thou helped him [that is] without power?
        [How] save Thou the arm [that has] no strength?
Job 26:3 How have Thou counselled him [that has] no wisdom?
          And [how] have Thou abundantly declared the thing as it is?
Job 26:4 To whom have Thou uttered words?
          And whose breath came from Thee?
Job 26:5 Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and its inhabitants.
Job 26:6 Sheol [is] naked before Him,
        and Abaddon{destruction} has no covering.
Job 26:7 He stretches out the north over the empty place,
         [and] hangs the Earth upon nothing.
Job 26:8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds;
          and the cloud is not rent under them.
Job 26:9 He holds back the face of [his] throne,
         [and] spreads his cloud upon it.
Job 26:10 He has drawn a circle on the waters with bounds,
           until the completion of light with darkness.
Job 26:11 The pillars of Heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Job 26:12 He divides the sea by His power,
           and by His understanding He smites through the proud.
Job 26:13 By His Spirit He has garnished the Heavens;
          His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
Job 26:14 Behold, these [are] parts of His ways:
          but how little a portion is heard of Him?
          But the thunder of His power who can understand?
Job 27:1
        And Job continued his parable, and said,
Job 27:2 [As] God lives, [who] has taken away my judgment;
          and the Almighty [who] has afflicted my soul;
Job 27:3 all the while my breath [is] in me,
          and the Spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
Job 27:4 my lips shall not speak wickedness,
          nor my tongue utter deceit.
Job 27:5 Let it not be that I should justify you:
          until I die I shall not remove my integrity from me.
Job 27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and shall not let it go:
          my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
Job 27:7 Let my enemy be as the wicked,
          and He who rises up against me as the unrighteous.
Job 27:8 For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite,
          though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?
Job 27:9  Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?
Job 27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
          Will he always call upon God?
Job 27:11
        I shall teach you by the hand of God:
        [that] which [is] with the Almighty shall I not conceal.
Job 27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it];
           why then are ye thus altogether vain?
Job 27:13 This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God,
           and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
Job 27:14 If his sons are multiplied, [it is] for the sword:
           and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Job 27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death:
           and his widows shall not weep.
Job 27:16 Though He should heap up silver as the dust,
           and prepare clothing as the clay?
Job 27:17 He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on,
           and the innocent shall divide the silver.
Job 27:18 He builds his house as a moth,
           and as a booth [that] the keeper makes.
Job 27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered:
           he opens his eyes, and he [is] not.
Job 27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters,
           a tempest steals him away in the night.
Job 27:21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs:
           and as a storm hurles him out of his place.
Job 27:22 For He shall cast upon him, and not spare:
           he would hastily flee out of His hand.
Job 27:23 They shall clap their hands at him,
           and shall hiss him out of his place.
Job 28:1 Surely, there is a vein for the silver,
          and a place for gold [where] they fine [it].
Job 28:2 Iron is taken out of the dust{ground},
          and copper [is] melted [out of] the stone.
Job 28:3 He sets an end to darkness, and searches out all perfection:
          the stones of darkness, and the shades of death.
Job 28:4 The flood breaks out from the inhabitant:
         [even the waters] forgotten by the foot:
          they are dried up, they have gone away from men.
Job 28:5 [As for] the Earth, out of it comes bread:
          and under it is turned up as it were fire.
Job 28:6 The stones of it [are] the place of sapphires:
          and it has dust of gold.
Job 28:7 [There is] a path which no fowl knows,
          and which the kite's eye has not seen:
Job 28:8 the lion's whelps have not trodden it,
          nor the fierce lion passed by it.
Job 28:9  He puts forth his hand upon the flint;
          He overturns the mountains by the roots.
Job 28:10 He cuts out rivers among the rocks;
           and his eye sees every precious thing.
Job 28:11 He binds the floods from overflowing;
           and [the thing that is] hid He brings forth to light.
Job 28:12
          But where shall the wisdom be found?
          And where [is] the place of understanding?
Job 28:13 Man knows not the price of it;
           neither is it found in the land of the living.
Job 28:14 The Abyss said, It [is] not in me:
           and the sea said, [It is] not with me.
Job 28:15 It cannot be obtained for gold,
           neither shall silver be weighed [for] the price of it.
Job 28:16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir,
           with the precious beryl, or the sapphire.
Job 28:17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it:
           and the exchange of it [shall not be for] jewels of fine gold.
Job 28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls:
           for the price of wisdom [is] above rubies.
Job 28:19 The topaz of Cush shall not equal it,
           neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
Job 28:20
           Whence then comes the wisdom?
            And where [is] the place of understanding?
Job 28:21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living,
           and kept close from the fowls of the air.
Job 28:22 Abaddon{destruction} and death say,
           We have heard the fame of it with our ears.
Job 28:23 GOD understands the way of it, and He knows its place.
Job 28:24 For He looks to the ends of the Earth,
          [and] sees under the whole Heaven;
Job 28:25 to make the weight for the winds;
           and He weighs the waters by measure.
Job 28:26 When he made a decree for the rain,
           and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
Job 28:27 then did He see it, and declare it;
           He prepared it, and searched it out.
Job 28:28 And He said to man, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom;
          and to depart from evil [is] understanding.
Job 29:1
        And Job continued his parable, and said,
Job 29:2 That I were as [in] months past,
          as [in] the days [when] God preserved me;
Job 29:3 when His lamp shined upon my head,
         [and when] by His Light I walked [through] darkness;
Job 29:4 as I have been in the days of my ripeness,
         when the secret of God [was] upon my Tabernacle;
Job 29:5 when the Almighty [was] yet with me,
        [when] my children [were] about me;
Job 29:6 when I washed my steps with curd,
          and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
Job 29:7 when I went out to the gate through the city,
        [when] I prepared my seat in the street!
Job 29:8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves:
          and the aged arose, [and] stood up.
Job 29:9 The princes refrained talking,
          and laid [their] hand on their mouth.
Job 29:10 The nobles held their voice,
           and their tongue cleaved to their mouth{palate}.
Job 29:11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me;
      and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
Job 29:12 because I delivered the poor that cried,
           and the fatherless, and him [that had] none to help him.
Job 29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me:
           and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Job 29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me.
           My judgment [was] as a robe and a turban.
Job 29:15 I have been [the] eyes to the blind,
           and I [have been the] feet to the lame.
Job 29:16 I [was] a father to the poor:
           and the cause [which] I knew not I searched out.
Job 29:17 And I broke the fangs of the wicked,
           and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Job 29:18
        Then I said, I shall die in my nest,
         and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
Job 29:19 My root [was] spread out by the waters,
           and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
Job 29:20 My glory [was] fresh in me,
           and my bow was renewed in my hand.
Job 29:21 To me [men] gave ear, and waited,
           and kept silence at my counsel.
Job 29:22 After my words they spoke not again;
           and my speech dropped upon them.
Job 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain;
          and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the Latter Rain.
Job 29:24 [If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not;
          and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
Job 29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief?
          And dwelt as a king in the army,
          as one [that] comforts the mourners.
Job 30:1 But now [they that are] younger than I, have me in derision,
          whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
Job 30:2 Yes, to what [might] the strength of their hands [profit] me?
          In whom old age had perished?
Job 30:3 For want and famine [they were] solitary;
          fleeing recently into the wilderness desolate and waste.
Job 30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes,
          and juniper roots [for] their food.
Job 30:5 They were driven forth from among [men],
        (they cried after them, as [after] a thief).
Job 30:6 To dwell in the clefts of the valleys,
         [in] caves of the dust{earth}, and [in] the stones.
Job 30:7 Among the bushes they brayed;
          under the nettles they were collected.
Job 30:8 [They were] sons of fools, yes, sons without fame:
          they were viler than the Earth.
Job 30:9
         And now I have been their song,
          and I [am] their by-word.
Job 30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me,
           and spare not to spit in my face;
Job 30:11 because He has loosed my cord, and afflicted me,
          they have also let loose the bridle before me.
Job 30:12 Upon my right [hand] rise the youth; they push away my feet,
           and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
Job 30:13 They mar my path,
          they set forward my calamity,
          they have no helper.
Job 30:14 They came like a wide breach:
           in the desolation they rolled themselves [upon me].
Job 30:15 Terrors are turned upon me:
          they pursue my honour as the wind:
           and my welfare passes away as a cloud.
Job 30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me;
           the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
Job 30:17 In the night my bones are pierced:
           and my sinews take no rest.
Job 30:18 By the great force is my garment changed:
           it binds me about as the collar of my coat.
Job 30:19 He has cast me into the mire,
           and I have become like dust and ashes.
Job 30:20 I cry to Thee, and Thou do not reply me:
          I stand up, and Thou regard me [not].
Job 30:21 Thou have become cruel to me:
           with Thy strong hand Thou oppose thyself against me.
Job 30:22 Thou lift me up to the wind;
          Thou cause me to ride [upon it], and dissolve me in the storm.
Job 30:23 For I know [that] Thou shall bring me [to] death,
           and [to] the house appointed for all living.
Job 30:24 Yet He shall not stretch out [his] hand to the grave,
           though they cry in his destruction.
Job 30:25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble?
           Was [not] my soul grieved for the poor?
Job 30:26 When I looked for good, then evil came:
          and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
Job 30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not:
           the days of affliction came upon me.
Job 30:28 I go mourning without the sun:
          I stood up, [and] I cried in the Congregation.
Job 30:29 I have been a brother to monsters,
           and a companion to ostriches.
Job 30:30 My skin is black upon me,
           and my bones are burned with heat.
Job 30:31 My harp also is [turned] to mourning,
           and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
Job 31:1 I made a Covenant with my eyes;
          why then should I think upon a maid?
Job 31:2 For what portion of God [is there] from above?
          And [what] inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
Job 31:3 [Is] not destruction to the wicked?
         And a strange [punishment] to the workers of lawlessness?
Job 31:4 Does not He see my ways,
          and count all my steps?
Job 31:5
         If I have walked with vanity,
          or if my foot has hasted to deceit;
Job 31:6 Let me be weighed in a righteous balance,
         that God may know my integrity.
Job 31:7 If my step has turned out of the way,
         and my heart walked after my eyes,
          and if any blot has cleaved to my hands;
Job 31:8 [then] let me sow, and let another eat;
          yes, let my offspring be rooted out.
Job 31:9
          If my heart has been deceived by a woman,
           or [if] I have laid in wait at my neighbour's door;
Job 31:10 [then] let my wife grind to another,
          and let others bow down upon her.
Job 31:11 For this [is] a heinous crime;
           and it [is] an iniquity [for] the judges.
Job 31:12 For it [is] a fire [that] consumes to Abaddon{destruction},
           and would root out all my increase.
Job 31:13
          If I despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant,
           when they contended with me;
Job 31:14 what then shall I do when God rises up?
           And when He visits, what shall I answer Him?
Job 31:15 Did not he who made me in the womb make him?
           And did not one fashion us in the womb?
Job 31:16 If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire,
           or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
Job 31:17 or have eaten my morsel myself alone,
           and the fatherless has not eaten of it;
Job 31:18 (for from my youth he was brought up with me, as [with] a father,
           and I have guided her from my mother's womb);
Job 31:19
          If I have seen any perish for lack of clothing,
           or any poor without covering.
Job 31:20 If his loins have not blessed me,
          and [if] he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep.
Job 31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,
           when I saw my help in the gate:
Job 31:22 [then] let my arm fall from my shoulder-blade,
           and my arm be broken from the bone.
Job 31:23 For destruction [from] God [was] a terror to me,
           and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
Job 31:24
          If I have made gold my hope,
           or have said to the fine gold, Thou [are] my confidence;
Job 31:25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth [was] great,
          and because my hand had gained much.
Job 31:26 If I have beheld the [sun] light when it shined,
           or the moon walking [in] brightness;
Job 31:27 my heart has been secretly enticed,
          or my mouth has kissed my hand:
Job 31:28 this also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge:
           for I should have denied the God [that is] above.
Job 31:29 If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me,
           or have lifted up myself when evil found him:
Job 31:30 neither have I allowed my mouth to sin,
           by wishing a curse to his soul.
Job 31:31 If the men of my tent have not said,
           that we had of his flesh! We cannot be satisfied.
Job 31:32 The stranger did not lodge in the street:
          [but] I opened my doors to the traveler.
Job 31:33 If I have covered as Adam my transgressions,
           by hiding in my bosom my iniquity:
Job 31:34 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?
Job 31:35 That one would hear me!
          Behold, my mark [is], [that] the Almighty would answer me,
           and [that] my adversary had written a book.
Job 31:36 Surely, I would take it upon my shoulder,
          [and] bind it [as] a crown to me.
Job 31:37 I would declare to him the number of my steps;
           as a prince would I go near to him;
Job 31:38 If my land cries against me,
           or its furrows likewise complain.
Job 31:39 If I have eaten the strength of it without money,
           or have caused its owners to expire their soul;
Job 31:40 let thistles grow instead of wheat,
           and stinkweed instead of barley.
           The words of Job are ended.

Job 32:1 So these three men ceased to answering Job,
          because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.
Job 32:2 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 his soul rather than GOD.
Job 32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled,
          because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job.
Job 32:4 Now Elihu had waited until Job had spoken because they [were] older than he in days.
Job 32:5 When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer,
           in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.
Job 32:6
        And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,
        I [am] young, and ye [are] very old;
        therefore I was afraid, and dared not show you my opinion.
Job 32:7 I said, Days should speak,
          and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
Job 32:8 But [there is] a spirit in man:
          and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
Job 32:9 Great men are not [always] wise:
          neither do the aged understand judgment.
Job 32:10 Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also shall show my opinion.
Job 32:11 Behold, I waited for your words;
          I gave ear to your reasons, while ye searched out what to say.
Job 32:12 And I attended to you, and behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job,
          [or] that answered his words:
Job 32:13 lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom:
           God thrusts him down, not man.
Job 32:14 Now he has not directed [his] words against me:
           neither shall I answer him with your speeches.
Job 32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more:
           they left off speaking.
Job 32:16 When I had waited, (for they spoke not,
           but stood still, [and] answered no more).
Job 32:17 [I said], I shall answer also my part,
           I also shall show my opinion.
Job 32:18 For I [am] full of matter,
           the spirit within me constrains me.
Job 32:19 Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] has no vent;
           it is ready to burst like new bottles.
Job 32:20 I shall speak, that I may be refreshed:
          I shall open my lips and answer.
Job 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person,
          neither let me give flattering titles to man.
Job 32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles;
          [in so doing], my Maker would soon take me away.
Job 33:1
        However, Job, I pray Thee, hear my speeches,
         and listen to all my words.
Job 33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth,
          my tongue has spoken in my mouth.
Job 33:3 My words [shall be of] the uprightness of my heart:
          and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
Job 33:4 The Spirit of God has made me,
          and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.
Job 33:5 If Thou can answer me,
          set Thy [words] in order before me, stand up.
Job 33:6 Behold, I [am] according to Thy wish in God's stead:
          I also [am] formed out of the clay.
Job 33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make Thee afraid,
          neither shall my hand be heavy upon Thee.
Job 33:8 Surely, Thou have spoken in my hearing,
          and I have heard the voice of [Thy] words,
Job 33:9 I [am] clean without transgression, I [am] innocent;
          neither [is there] iniquity in me.
Job 33:10 Behold, He finds occasions against me,
           He counts me for His enemy,
Job 33:11 He puts my feet in the stocks,
           He marks all my paths.
Job 33:12 Behold, [in] this Thou are not just:
           I shall answer Thee, that God is greater than man.
Job 33:13 Why do Thou strive against Him?
           For He gives not account of any of His matters.
Job 33:14 For God speaks once, yes twice,
          [yet man] perceives it not.
Job 33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
           when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
Job 33:16 then He opens the ears of men,
           and seals their instruction,
Job 33:17 that He may withdraw man [from his] purpose,
           and hide pride from man.
Job 33:18 He keeps back his soul from the pit,
           and his life from perishing by the weapon.
Job 33:19
          He is chastened also with pain upon his bed,
           and the multitude of his bones with strong [pain]:
Job 33:20 so that his life abhors bread,
           and his soul dainty food.
Job 33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen;
           and his bones [that] were not seen stick out.
Job 33:22 And his soul draws near to the grave,
           and his life to the destroyers.
Job 33:23 If there is a Messenger with him, an Interpreter,
           one among a thousand, to show to man his uprightness:
Job 33:24 then He is gracious to him, and said,
           Deliver him from going down into the pit:
           I have found a ransom;
Job 33:25 his flesh shall be fresher than a child's:
           He shall return to the days of his youth:
Job 33:26 he shall pray to God, and He shall be favourable to him:
           and he shall see His face with joy:
           for He shall render to man his righteousness;
Job 33:27 he looks upon men, and [if any] shall say,
           I have sinned, and perverted right,
           and it profited me not;
Job 33:28 he shall deliver his soul from going into the pit,
           and his life shall see the light.
Job 33:29 Behold, all these [things] God often works with man,
Job 33:30 to bring back his soul from the pit,
          to be enlightened with the light of the living.
Job 33:31 Mark well, Job, listen to me:
          Be silent, and I shall speak.
Job 33:32 If Thou have anything to say,
          answer me: speak, for I desire to justify Thee.
Job 33:33 If not, listen to me:
           Be silent, and I shall teach Thee wisdom.

Job 34:1 And Elihu answered and said,
Job 34:2 Hear my words, ye wise [men];
          and give ear to me, ye that have knowledge.
Job 34:3 For the ear tries words,
          as the mouth tastes food.
Job 34:4 Let us choose to us judgment:
         let us know among ourselves what [is] good.
Job 34:5 For Job has said, I [am] righteous:
          and God has taken away my judgment.
Job 34:6 Should I lie against my right?
          My arrow{wound} [is] incurable without transgression.
Job 34:7 What man [is] like Job,
         [who] drinks up scorning like water?
Job 34:8 Who goes in company with the workers of lawlessness,
          and walks with wicked men.
Job 34:9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing,
          that he should delight himself with GOD.
Job 34:10 Therefore listen to me,
           ye men of heart{understanding}: God let it not be, [that should do] wickedness;
           and [from] the Almighty, [that should commit] iniquity.
Job 34:11 For the work of a man He shall render to him,
           and cause every man to find according to [his] ways.
Job 34:12 Yes, surely God shall not do wickedly,
           neither shall the Almighty pervert judgment.
Job 34:13 Who has given him a charge over the Earth?
           Or who has disposed the whole World?
Job 34:14 If He should set His heart upon man,
          [if] He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath;
Job 34:15 all flesh would perish together,
           and man would turn back to dust.
Job 34:16
          If now [Thou have] understanding, hear this:
           listen to the voice of my words.
Job 34:17 Shall even he who hates right govern?
           And shall Thou condemn him that is most just?
Job 34:18 [Is it fit] to say to a king, Thou [are] worthless?
           To princes, [Ye are] wicked?
Job 34:19 [How much less to him] that accepts not the persons of princes,
            nor regards the rich more than the poor?
            For they all [are] the work of His hands.
Job 34:20 In a moment they shall die,
           and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away:
           and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
Job 34:21 For His eyes [are] upon the ways of man,
           and He sees all his goings.
Job 34:22 [There is] no darkness, nor shades of death,
           where the workers of lawlessness may hide themselves.
Job 34:23 For He shall not lay upon man more [than right];
           that he should enter into judgment with God.
Job 34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number,
           and set others in their stead.
Job 34:25 Therefore He knows their works,
           and He overturns [them] in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Job 34:26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
Job 34:27 because they turned back from Him,
          and would not consider any of His ways:
Job 34:28 so that they cause the cry of the poor to come to him,
           and He hears the cry of the afflicted.
Job 34:29 When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble?
          And when He hides [His] face, who then can behold Him?
          Whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man only:
Job 34:30 that the hypocrite man may not reign,
          lest [being] snares for the people.
Job 34:31 Surely, it is meet to be said to God,
           I have borne [chastisement], I shall not offend [any more]:
Job 34:32 [that which] I see not teach Thou me:
           if I have done iniquity, I shall do no more.
Job 34:33 Is it with Thee? He shall requite it,
           whether Thou shall refuse, or whether Thou shall choose; and not I:
           therefore speak what Thou know.
Job 34:34 Let men of heart{understanding} tell me,
           and let a wise man listen to me.
Job 34:35 Job has spoken without knowledge,
           and his words [were] without wisdom.
Job 34:36 My desire [is that] Job may be tried to the end,
           because of [his] answers for wicked men.
Job 34:37 For he adds rebellion to his sin,
           he claps [his hands] among us,
           and multiplies his words against God.

Job 35:1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,
Job 35:2 Think Thou this to be right, [that] Thou said,
          my righteousness [is] more than God's?
Job 35:3 For Thou said, What advantage shall it be to Thee?
          What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
Job 35:4 I shall answer Thee,
          and Thy companions with Thee.
Job 35:5 Look to the Heavens, and see;
          and behold the clouds [which] are higher than Thou.
Job 35:6 If Thou sin, what do Thou against Him?
          Or [if] Thy transgressions are multiplied, what do Thou to Him?
Job 35:7 If Thou are righteous, what give Thou to Him?
              Or what receives He from Thy hand?
Job 35:8 Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as Thou [are]:
         and Thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man.
Job 35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry:
          they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Job 35:10 But none said, Where [is] God my Maker,
           who gives songs in the night;
Job 35:11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the Earth,
           and makes us wiser than the fowls of the air?
Job 35:12 There they cry, but none gives answer,
           because of the pride of evil men.
Job 35:13 Surely, God shall not hear vanity,
           neither shall the Almighty regard it.
Job 35:14 Although Thou say Thou shall not see Him,
          [yet] judgment [is] before Him; therefore trust Thou in Him.
Job 35:15 But now, because [it is] not [so], He has visited in His anger;
           yet He knows [it] not in great extremity:
Job 35:16 therefore does Job open his mouth in vain;
           He multiplies words without knowledge.

Job 36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
Job 36:2 Bear me a little, and I shall show Thee,
          that [I have] yet to speak on God's behalf.
Job 36:3 I shall bring my knowledge from afar,
          and shall ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Job 36:4 For truly my words [shall] not [be] false:
          He who is perfect in knowledge [is] with Thee.
Job 36:5
        Behold, God [is] mighty, and despises not [any]:
         He [is] mighty in strength [and] heart{wisdom}.
Job 36:6 He preserves not the life of the wicked:
          but gives right to the poor.
Job 36:7 He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous:
          but with kings [are they] on the throne;
          yes, He does establish them forever, and they are exalted.
Job 36:8 And if [they are] bound in chains,
         [and] are held in cords of affliction;
Job 36:9 then He shows them their work,
          and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
Job 36:10 He opens also their ear to discipline,
           and commands that they return from iniquity.
Job 36:11 If they obey and serve him,
           they shall spend their days in goodness,
           and their years in pleasures.
Job 36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the weapon,
           and they shall die without knowledge.
Job 36:13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath:
           they cry not when He binds them.
Job 36:14 Their soul shall die in youth,
           and their life [is] among the sodomites.
Job 36:15 He rescues the poor in his affliction,
           and opens their ears in oppression.
Job 36:16 And He has allured Thee from the mouth of distress,
           to a wide place not cramped under it;
           and the setting of Thy table [would be] full of fatness;
Job 36:17 but Thou have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked:
           judgment and justice take hold [on Thee];
Job 36:18 because [there is] wrath, [beware] lest He take Thee away with [his] stroke:
           then a great ransom cannot deliver Thee.
Job 36:19 Will He esteem Thy riches?
          [No], not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
Job 36:20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
Job 36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity:
           for this have Thou chosen rather than affliction.
Job 36:22
        Behold, God exalts by His power:
         who teaches like Him?
Job 36:23 Who has enjoined Him His way?
           Or who can say, Thou have wrought iniquity?
Job 36:24 Remember that Thou magnify His work,
            which men have beheld.
Job 36:25 Every man may see it;
           man may behold [it] afar off.
Job 36:26 Behold, God [is] great, and we know Him not,
           neither can the number of His years be searched out.
Job 36:27 For He makes small the drops of water:
           they pour down rain according to the vapour of it.
Job 36:28 Which the clouds do drip [and] drop upon man abundantly.
Job 36:29 Also can [any] understand the spreadings of the clouds,
           [or] the noise of His Tabernacle?
Job 36:30 Behold, He spreads His light upon it,
           and covers the bottom of the sea.
Job 36:31 For by them He judges the people;
           He gives food in abundance.
Job 36:32 With hands He covers the light;
           and commands to lighted it.
Job 36:33 The noise of it shows concerning it,
           the cattle also concerning the vapour.
Job 37:1 At this also my heart trembles,
          and is moved out of its place.
Job 37:2 Hear attentively the noise of His voice,
          and the sound [that] goes out of His mouth.
Job 37:3 He directs it under the whole Heaven,
          and his lightning to the ends of the Earth.
Job 37:4 After it a voice roars: He thunders with the voice of his excellence;
          and He shall not stay them when His voice is heard.
Job 37:5 God thunders marvellously with His voice;
          great things He does, which we cannot comprehend.
Job 37:6 For He said to the snow, Be Thou [on] the Earth;
          likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of His strength.
Job 37:7 He seals up the hand of every man;
          that all men may know His work.
Job 37:8 Then the animals go into dens,
          and remain in their places.
Job 37:9 From the south comes the whirlwind:
          and cold from the north.
Job 37:10 By the breath of God frost is given:
           and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Job 37:11 Also by watering He wearies the thick cloud:
           He scatters His bright cloud:
Job 37:12 and it is turned around by His counsels:
           that they may do whatever He commands them,
           upon the face of the World on the Earth.
Job 37:13 He causes it to come, whether for correction,
           or for His land, or for mercy.
Job 37:14
          Listen to this, Job:
           stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Job 37:15 Do Thou know when God disposed them,
           and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
Job 37:16 Do Thou know the balancings of the clouds,
           the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Job 37:17 How Thy garments [are] warm,
           when He quiets the Earth by the south [wind]?
Job 37:18 Have Thou with him spread out the sky,
          [which is] strong, [and] as a molten mirror?
Job 37:19 Teach us what we shall say to Him;
           [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.
Job 37:20 Shall it be told him that I speak?
           If a man shall speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
Job 37:21 And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds:
           but the wind passes, and cleans them.
Job 37:22 Golden [splendour] comes from the north:
           with God [is] awesome majesty.
Job 37:23 [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out:
           [He is] excellent in power,
           and in judgment, and in abundance of justice: He shall not afflict.
Job 37:24 Men therefore fear Him:
          He respects not any [that are] wise of heart.

Job 38:1 And the LORD answered Job,
          out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 38:2 Who [is] this that darkens counsel,
          by words without knowledge?
Job 38:3 Gird up now Thy loins like a man;
         for I shall demand of Thee, and answer Thou Me!
Job 38:4 Where were Thou when I laid the foundations of the Earth?
          Declare, if Thou have understanding!
Job 38:5 Who has laid the measures of it, if Thou know?
          Or who has stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Upon what are the foundations of it fastened?
          Or who laid its corner-stone;
Job 38:7 when the morning stars sang together,
         and all the sons of GOD shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 Or [who] shut up the sea with doors,
         when it broke forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb?
Job 38:9 When I made a cloud its garment,
          and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
Job 38:10 and broke up for it my decreed [place],
          and set bars and doors?
Job 38:11
          And said, until now shall Thou come, but no further:
          and here shall Thy proud waves be stayed.
Job 38:12 Have Thou commanded the morning since Thy days;
          [and] caused the dayspring to know its place;
Job 38:13 that it might take hold of the ends of the Earth,
          that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14 It is turned as clay [to] the seal;
           and they stand as a garment.
Job 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withheld,
           and the high arm shall be broken.
Job 38:16 Have Thou entered into the springs of the sea?
           Or have Thou walked in the search of the Abyss?
Job 38:17 Have the gates of death been opened to Thee?
           Or have Thou seen the doors of the shades of death?
Job 38:18 Have Thou perceived the breadth of the Earth?
           Declare if Thou know it all.
Job 38:19 Where [is] the way [where] light dwells?
           And [as for] darkness, where [is] its place,
Job 38:20 that Thou should take it to its bound,
           and that Thou should know the paths [to] its house?
Job 38:21 Know Thou [it], because Thou were then born?
           Or [because] the number of Thy days [is] great?
Job 38:22 Have Thou entered into the treasures of the snow?
           Or have Thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Job 38:23 which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
           against the day of battle and war?
Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted,
          [which] scatters the east wind upon the Earth?
Job 38:25
          Who has divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters,
           or a way for the lightning of thunder;
Job 38:26 to cause it to rain on the Earth, [where] no man [is];
          [on] the wilderness in which [there is] no man;
Job 38:27 to satisfy the desolate and waste [ground];
           and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
Job 38:28 Has there a father for the rain?
           Or who has begotten the drops of the dew?
Job 38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice?
           And the frost of Heaven, who has gendered it?
Job 38:30 The waters are hid as [with] a stone,
           and the face of the Abyss is frozen?
Job 38:31
          Can Thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?
           Or loose the bands of Orion?
Job 38:32 Can Thou bring forth Mazzaroth{constellations} in its season?
           Or can Thou guide Arcturus with its sons?
Job 38:33 Know Thou the ordinances of Heaven?
          Can Thou set its dominion on the Earth?
Job 38:34 Can Thou lift Thy voice to the clouds,
           that abundance of waters may cover Thee?
Job 38:35 Can Thou send lightnings, that they may go,
           and say to Thee, Here we [are]?
Job 38:36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts?
           Or who has given understanding to the brain?
Job 38:37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom?
           Or who can stay the bottles of Heaven,
Job 38:38 when the dust grows into hardness,
           and the clods cleave fast together?
Job 38:39
         Will Thou hunt the prey for the lion?
          Or fill the appetite of the young lions,
Job 38:40 when they couch in [their] dens,
         [and] abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Job 38:41 Who provides for the raven his provision,
          When his young ones cry to God, they wander for lack of food?
Job 39:1
        Know Thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?
         [Or] can Thou mark when the hinds do calve?
Job 39:2 Can Thou number the months [that] they fulfil?
          Or know Thou the time when they bring forth?
Job 39:3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones,
         they cast out their sorrows.
Job 39:4 Their young ones grow strong,
         they grow up with grain;
         they go forth, and return not to them.
Job 39:5 Who has sent out the wild ass free?
          Or who has loosed the bands of the wild ass?
Job 39:6 Whose house I have made the wilderness,
          and the salt land his dwellings.
Job 39:7 He scorns the multitude of the city,
          neither regards he the crying of the driver.
Job 39:8 The range of the mountains [is] his pasture,
          and he searches after every green thing.
Job 39:9
          Will the rhino be willing to serve Thee,
           or abide by Thy manger?
Job 39:10 Can Thou bind the rhino with his band in the furrow?
           Or shall he harrow the valleys after Thee?
Job 39:11 Will Thou trust him, because his strength [is] great?
           Or shall Thou leave Thy labour to him?
Job 39:12 Will Thou believe him, that he shall bring home Thy seed,
           and gather [it into] Thy threshing-floor?
Job 39:13
         The wings flap joyously of the ostriches.
           Or wings and feathers of the stork.
Job 39:14 Which leaves her eggs in the earth,
           and warms them in the dust,
Job 39:15 and forgets that the foot may crush them,
           or that the wild animal may break them.
Job 39:16 She is hardened against her young ones,
           as though [they were] not hers:
           her labour is in vain without fear;
Job 39:17 because God has withheld wisdom from her,
           neither has He imparted to her understanding.
Job 39:18 When she lifts herself on high,
           she scorns the horse and his rider.
Job 39:19
           Have Thou given the horse strength?
           Have Thou clothed his neck with thunder?
Job 39:20 Can Thou make him afraid as a locust?
          The glory of his nostrils [is] awesome.
Job 39:21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in [his] strength:
          He goes on to meet the armed men.
Job 39:22 He mocks at fear, and is not affrighted;
           neither turns he back from the sword.
Job 39:23 The quiver rattles against him,
           the glittering spear and the javelin.
Job 39:24 He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage:
           neither believes he who [it is] the voice of the shofar.
Job 39:25 He said among the shofars,
           Aha; and he smells the battle afar off,
           the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Job 39:26
          Does the hawk fly by Thy understanding,
           [and] stretch her wings towards the south?
Job 39:27 Does the eagle mount up at Thy command,
           and make her nest on high?
Job 39:28 She dwells and stays on the rock,
           upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
Job 39:29 From thence she seeks the prey,
           [and] her eyes behold afar off.
Job 39:30 Her young ones also suck up blood:
           and where the slain [are], there [is] she.

Job 40:1 And the LORD answered Job, and said,
Job 40:2 Shall he who contends with the Almighty instruct him?
         He who reproves God, let him answer it.
Job 40:3
        Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 40:4 Behold, I [am] vile; what shall I answer Thee?
          I shall lay my hand upon my mouth.
Job 40:5 Once have I spoken; but I shall not answer:
          yes, twice; but I shall proceed no further.

Job 40:6 And the LORD answered Job,
          out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 40:7 Gird up Thy loins now like a man:
          I shall demand of Thee, and declare Thou to me.
Job 40:8 Will Thou also annul my judgment?
         Will Thou condemn me, that Thou may be righteous?
Job 40:9 Have Thou an arm like God?
          Or can Thou thunder with a voice like His?
Job 40:10 Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellence;
           and array thyself with glory and beauty.
Job 40:11 Cast abroad the rage of Thy wrath:
           and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him.
Job 40:12 Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low;
           and tread down the wicked in their place.
Job 40:13 Hide them in the dust together;
           bind their faces in secret.
Job 40:14 Then I shall confess also to Thee,
           that Thy own right hand can save Thee.
Job 40:15
          Behold now behemoth,
           which I made with Thee; he eats grass as an ox.
Job 40:16 Behold now, his strength [is] in his loins,
           and his force [is] in the muscles of his belly.
Job 40:17 He moves his tail like a cedar:
           the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together;
Job 40:18 his bones [are as] strong pieces of bronze;
          his bones [are] like bars of iron.
Job 40:19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God:
          his Maker brings near his sword.
Job 40:20 Surely, the mountains bring him forth food,
           where all the animals of the field play.
Job 40:21 He lies under the shady trees,
           in the covert of the reed, and mire.
Job 40:22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow;
           the willows of the brook surround him.
Job 40:23 Behold, he oppresses a river, [and] hastens not:
           he trusts that he can draw up the Jordan into his mouth.
Job 40:24 He takes it with his eyes:
          [his] nose pierces through snares.
Job 41:1
         Can Thou draw out Leviathan with a hook?
          Or his tongue with a cord [which] Thou let down?
Job 41:2 Can Thou put a hook into his nose?
          Or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Job 41:3 Will he make many supplications to Thee?
         Will he speak soft [words] to Thee?
Job 41:4 Will he make a Covenant with Thee?
         Will Thou take him for a servant forever?
Job 41:5 Will Thou play with him as [with] a bird?
      Or shall Thou bind him for Thy maidens?
Job 41:6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him?
         Shall they part him among the traders.
Job 41:7 Can Thou fill his skin with barbed irons?
          Or his head with fish spears?
Job 41:8 Lay Thy hand upon him,
          remember the battle, do no more.
Job 41:9 Behold, the hope of him is false:
          shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of Him?
Job 41:10
         None [is so] fierce that he can rouse Him:
          who then is able to stand before Me?
Job 41:11 Or who has first given to him,
           and it shall be recompensed to Him? [Rom 11:35]
        [Whatever is] under the whole Heaven is Mine.
Job 41:12
          I shall not conceal his parts,
           nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
Job 41:13 Who can uncover the face of his garment?
          Who can come [to him] with his double bridle?
Job 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face?
          His teeth [are] awesome around.
Job 41:15 [His] mighty shields{scales} [are his] pride,
           shut together [as with] a close seal.
Job 41:16 One is so near to another,
          that no air can come between them.
Job 41:17 They are joined one to another,
          they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
Job 41:18 His sneezings flash light,
           and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning.
Job 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps,
          [and] sparks of fire dart forth.
Job 41:20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke,
           as [out] of a seething pot or cauldron.
Job 41:21 His soul kindles coals,
           and a flame goes from his mouth.
Job 41:22 In his neck remains strength,
           and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
Job 41:23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together:
           they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
Job 41:24 His heart is as firm as a stone;
           yes, as hard as a piece of the nether [millstone].
Job 41:25 When he raises himself, the mighty are afraid:
           by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
Job 41:26 The sword of him that overtakes him cannot hold:
           the spear, the dart, nor the breast-plate.
Job 41:27 He esteems iron as straw,
           [and] bronze as rotten wood.
Job 41:28 The son of a bow{arrow} cannot make him flee:
           sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
Job 41:29 Darts are counted as stubble:
          He laughs at the shaking of a javelin.
Job 41:30 Sharp potsherds [are] under him:
          he spreads sharp pointed things upon the mire.
Job 41:31 He makes the deep to boil like a pot.
          He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
Job 41:32 He makes a path to shine after him;
          [one] would think the Abyss [to be] hoary.
Job 41:33 Upon dust{earth} there is not his like,
           who is made without fear.
Job 41:34 He beholds all high [things]:
          he [is] a king over all the sons of pride.

Job 42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 42:2 I know that Thou can do every [thing],
          and [that] no thought can be withheld from Thee.
Job 42:3 Who [is] He who hides counsel without knowledge?
        Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not;
        things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Job 42:4 Hear, I beseech Thee, and I shall speak:
         I shall ask of Thee, and declare Thou to me.
Job 42:5 I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear:
          but now my eye sees Thee.
Job 42:6 Therefore I abhor [myself],
          and repent in dust and ashes.

Job 42:7 And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job,
          the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite,
        My wrath is kindled against Thee, and against Thy two friends:
        for ye have not spoken of Me [the thing that is] right, as My servant Job.
Job 42:8 Therefore take to you now seven bulls and seven rams,
        and go to My servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt-offering;
        and My servant Job shall pray for you:
        for him shall 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.
Job 42:9 So went Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite,
        and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
Job 42:10 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.
Job 42:11 Then came there to him all his brethren, and all his sisters,
        and all they that had been of his acquaintance before,
        and ate bread with him in his house:
        and they condoled with him, and comforted him,
        over all the calamity that the LORD had brought upon him:
        every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.
Job 42:12
        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.
Job 42:13 He had also seven sons, and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima;
        and the name of the second, Kezia;
        and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
Job 42:15 And in all the land were no women found [so] beautiful as the daughters of Job:
        and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
Job 42:16 After this Job lived a hundred forty years,
        and saw his sons, and his grandsons, four generations.
Job 42:17 So Job died, [being] old and full of days.

Son 1:1 [Scroll 15 Song of Solomon].
        Song of Songs, which [is] of Solomon.
Son 1:2 {She}
        Let Him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for Thy love [is] better than wine;
Son 1:3 because of the savour of Thy good ointments,
        Thy name [is] poured forth [as] ointment,
        therefore do the virgins love Thee.
Son 1:4 Draw me, we shall run after Thee: the King has brought me into His chambers;
        we shall be glad and rejoice in Thee,
        we shall remember Thy love more than wine:
        the upright love Thee.
Son 1:5 I [am] black, but comely, ye daughters of Jerusalem,
        as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Son 1:6 Look not upon me, because I [am] black,
        because the sun has looked upon me:
        my mother's sons were angry with me;
        they made me the keeper of the vineyards;
        [but] my own vineyard have I not kept.
Son 1:7 Tell me, Thou whom my soul loves,
        where Thou feed, where Thou make Thy [flock] to rest at noon:
        for why should I be as one that turns aside by the flocks of Thy companions?
Son 1:8 {He}
        If Thou know not, Thou fairest among women,
        go forth by the footsteps of the flock,
        and feed Thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
Son 1:9 I have compared Thee, my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
Son 1:10 Thy cheeks are comely with earrings,
        Thy neck with necklaces.
Son 1:11 We shall make for Thee borders of gold,
        with studs of silver.
Son 1:12 {She}
        While the King [sits] at His table,
        my spikenard sends forth its smell.
Son 1:13 A bundle of myrrh [is] my well beloved to me;
        He shall lie all night between my breasts.
Son 1:14 My beloved [is] to me [as] a cluster of henna in the vineyards of En-gedi.
Son 1:15 {He}
        Behold, Thou [are] beautiful, my love; behold, Thou [are] beautiful; Thou [have] doves' eyes.
Son 1:16 {She}
        Behold, Thou [are] beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant: also our bedstead [is] green.
Son 1:17 The beams of our house [are] cedar, [and] our rafters of fir.
Son 2:1 I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the valleys.
Son 2:2 {He}
        As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the daughters.
Son 2:3 {She}
        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.
Son 2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house,
        and His banner over me [was] love.
Son 2:5 Stay me with raisin cakes, comfort me with apples:
        for I [am] sick of love.
Son 2:6 His left [hand is] under my head, and His right hand does embrace me.
Son 2:7 I charge you, ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field,
        that ye stir not up, nor awake love, until she please.

Son 2:8 The voice of my beloved! Behold,
        He comes leaping upon the mountains,
        skipping upon the hills.
Son 2:9 My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart: behold,
        He stands behind our wall,
        He looks forth at the windows,
        showing Himself through the lattice.
Son 2:10 My beloved spoke, and said to me,
        Rise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
Son 2:11 For behold, the winter is past,
        the rain is over [and] gone;
Son 2:12 the flowers appear on the Earth;
        the time of the singing [of birds] is come,
        and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land;
Son 2:13 the fig-tree puts forth her unripe figs,
        and the vines [with] the tender grape give a [good] smell.
        Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
Son 2:14 My dove, [that are] 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.
Son 2:15 Take for us the foxes, the little foxes,
        that spoil the vineyards:
        for our vineyards [have] tender grapes.
Son 2:16 My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] His:
        He feeds among the lilies.
Son 2:17 Until the day shall break,
        and the shadows flee away,
        turn, my beloved,
        and be Thou like a roe or a young hart,
        upon the mountains of Bether.

Son 3:1 By night on my bed I sought Him whom my soul loves:
        I sought Him, but I found Him not.
Son 3:2 I shall rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways,
        I shall seek Him whom my soul loves:
        I sought Him, but I found Him not.
Son 3:3 The watchmen that go about the city found me:
        [to whom I said], Saw ye Him whom my soul loves?
Son 3:4 [It was] but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loves:
        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.
Son 3:5 I charge you, ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field,
        that ye stir not up, nor awake love, until she please.

Son 3:6 {Others}
        Who [is] this that comes out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke,
        perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
        with all powders of the merchant?
Son 3:7 Behold His bed, which [is] Solomon's;
        sixty valiant men [are] about it, of the valiant of Israel.
Son 3:8 They all hold swords, [being] expert in war:
        every man has his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
Son 3:9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
Son 3:10 And he made its pillars of silver, the bottom of it of gold,
        the covering of it of purple, the middle of it being paved [with] love,
        for the daughters of Jerusalem.
Son 3:11 Go forth, ye Daughters of Zion,
        and behold king Solomon with the crown,
        with which his mother crowned him;
        in the day of his espousals,
        and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
Son 4:1 {He}
        Behold, Thou [are] beautiful, My love.
        Behold, Thou [are] beautiful;
        Thou [have] doves' eyes within Thy locks:
        Thy hair [is] as a flock of goats, that appear from Mount Gilead.
Son 4:2 Thy teeth [are] like a flock [of sheep that are even] shorn, which came up from the washing; all of which bear twins, and none [is] barren among them.
Son 4:3 Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet,
        Thy speech [is] comely:
        Thy temples [are] like a piece of pomegranate within Thy locks.
Son 4:4 Thy neck [is] like the Tower of David built for an armoury, on which hang a thousand shields, all bucklers of mighty men.
Son 4:5 Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

Son 4:6 Until the day shall break, and the shadows flee away,
        I shall repair to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
Son 4:7 Thou [are] all beautiful, my love; [there is] no spot in Thee.
Son 4:8 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.
Son 4:9 Thou have ravished my heart, My sister, My spouse;
        Thou have ravished my heart with one of Thy eyes,
        with one chain of Thy neck.
Son 4:10 How beautiful is Thy love, My sister, My spouse!
        How much better is Thy love than wine!
        And the smell of Thy ointments than all spices!
Son 4:11 Thy lips, My spouse, drop [as] the honey-comb;
        honey and milk [are] under Thy tongue;
        and the smell of Thy garments [is] like the smell of Lebanon.
Son 4:12 A garden enclosed [is] My sister, My spouse;
        a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
Son 4:13 Thy shoots [are] an orchard of pomegranates,
        with pleasant fruits; henna, with spikenard,
Son 4:14 spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon,
        with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes,
        with all the chief spices:
Son 4:15 a fountain of gardens, a well of Living Water,
        and streams from Lebanon.
Son 4:16 {She}
        Awake, north wind; and come, Thou south;
        blow upon My garden, [that] its spices may flow out.
        Let My beloved come into His garden, and eat His pleasant fruits.
Son 5:1 {He}
        I have come into My garden, My sister, spouse:
        I have gathered My myrrh, with My spice;
        I have eaten My honey-comb with My honey;
        I have drank My wine with My milk:
        eat, friends; drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.

Son 5:2 {She}
        I sleep, but My heart wakes:
        [it is] the voice of My beloved that knocks,
        [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.
Son 5:3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on?
        I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
Son 5:4 My beloved put in His hand by the hole [of the door],
        and my bowels were moved for Him.
Son 5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved:
        and my hands dropped [with] myrrh,
        and my fingers [with] sweet-smelling myrrh,
        upon the handles of the lock.
Son 5:6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn Himself,
        [and] was gone: my soul failed when He spoke:
        I sought Him, but I could not find Him; I called Him, but he gave me no answer.
Son 5:7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me,
        they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
Son 5:8 I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved,
        that ye tell Him, that I [am] sick with love.
Son 5:9 {Girls}
        What [is] Thy beloved more than [another] beloved, Thou most beautiful among women?
        What [is] Thy beloved more than [another] beloved, that Thou do so charge us?
Son 5:10 {She}
        My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chief among myriad.
Son 5:11 His head [is as] the most fine gold.
         His locks [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven.
Son 5:12 His eyes [are] as [the eyes] of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, [and] fitly set.
Son 5:13 His cheeks [are] as a furrow of spices, with towers of perfumes.
         His lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet-smelling myrrh.
Son 5:14 His hands [are as] rings of gold set with the chrysolite.
         His belly [is as] bright ivory overlaid [with] sapphires.
Son 5:15 His legs [are as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold.
         His countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
Son 5:16 His mouth [is] most sweet;
         yes, He [is] altogether lovely.
         This [is] my beloved,
         and this [is] my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
Son 6:1 {Girls}
        Where is Thy beloved gone, Thou most beautiful among women?
        Where is Thy beloved turned aside?
        That we may seek Him with Thee.
Son 6:2 {She}
        My beloved is gone down into His garden,
        to the furrows of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Son 6:3 I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine: He feeds among the lilies.

Son 6:4 {He}
        Thou [are] beautiful, My love, as Tirzah,
        comely as Jerusalem,
        awesome as [an army] with banners.
Son 6:5 Turn away Thy eyes from me, for they have overcome me:
        Thy hair [is] as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
Son 6:6 Thy teeth [are] as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing,
        of which every one bears twins, and [there is] not one barren among them.
Son 6:7 As a piece of pomegranate [are] Thy temples within Thy locks.
Son 6:8 There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.
Son 6:9 My dove, my undefiled is [but] one;
        she [is] the [only] one of her mother, she [is] the choice [one] of her that bore her.
        Daughters saw her, and blessed her;
        queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
Son 6:10 Who [is] she [that] looks forth as the morning,
        beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun,
        [and] awesome as [an army] with banners?
Son 6:11 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.
Son 6:12 I did not know, my soul made me [like] the chariots of my noble people.
Son 6:13 {Others}
        Return, return, Shulamite; turn, turn, that we may look upon Thee.
        Why should you look upon the Shulamite? As upon the dance of Mahanaim?
Son 7:1 {He}
        How beautiful are Thy feet with shoes, prince's daughter!
        The joints of Thy thighs [are] like jewels,
        the work of the hands of a skilful workman.
Son 7:2 Thy navel [is like] a round goblet, [which] lacks not liquor:
        Thy belly [is like] a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
Son 7:3 Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes [that are] twins.
Son 7:4 Thy neck [is] as a Tower of Ivory;
        Thy eyes [like] the fish-pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-Rabbim:
        Thy nose [is] as the Tower of Lebanon which watch towards Damascus.
Son 7:5 Thy head upon Thee [is] like Carmel,
        and the hair of Thy head like purple;
        the king [is] held in the tresses.
Son 7:6 How beautiful and how pleasant are Thou,
        love, for delights!
Son 7:7 This Thy stature is like to a palm-tree,
        and Thy breasts to clusters [of grapes].
Son 7:8 I said, I shall go up to the palm-tree,
        I shall take hold of its boughs:
        now also Thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine,
        and the smell of Thy nose like apples;
Son 7:9 and Thy mouth{palate} like the best wine,
        for my beloved,
        {She} that goes [down] sweetly,
        causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
Son 7:10 I [am] my beloved's, and His desire [is] towards me.
Son 7:11 Come, my beloved,
         let us go forth into the field;
         let us lodge in the villages;
Son 7:12 let us get up early to the vineyards;
         let us see if the vine flourishes,
        [whether] the tender grape appears,
        [and] the pomegranates bud forth:
        there shall I give Thee my loves.
Son 7:13 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, my beloved.
Son 8:1 That Thou [were] as my brother, that was nourished at the breasts of my mother!
        [When] I should find Thee outside, I would kiss Thee; yes, I should not be despised.
Son 8:2 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.
Son 8:3 His left [hand is] under my head, and His right hand does embrace me.
Son 8:4 I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem,
        that ye stir not up, nor awake love, until she please.

Son 8:5 {Others}
        Who [is] this that comes up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?
        {She}
        I raised Thee up under the apple-tree: there Thy mother brought Thee forth:
        there she brought Thee forth [that] bore Thee.
Son 8:6 Set me as a seal upon Thy heart, as a seal upon Thy arm:
        for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as Sheol:
        the coals of it [are] coals of fire, [which has] a most vehement flame of JaH.
Son 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love,
        neither can the floods drown it:
        if a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
        it would utterly be despised.
Son 8:8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts:
        what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
Son 8:9 If she [is] a wall, we shall build upon her a palace of silver:
        and if she [is] a door, we shall enclose her with boards of cedar.
Son 8:10 I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers:
        then I have been in His eyes as one that found favour.

Son 8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon;
        He let out the vineyard to keepers;
        every one for the fruit of it was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver.
Son 8:12 My vineyard which [is] mine, [is] before me:
        Thou, Solomon, [must have] a thousand,
        and those that keep the fruit of it two hundred.
Son 8:13 {He}
        Thou that dwell in the gardens, the companions listen to Thy voice: cause me to hear [it].
Son 8:14 {She}
        Make haste, my beloved, and be Thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

Rth 1:1 [Scroll 16 Ruth].
        And 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 dwell in the country of Moab,
        he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Rth 1:2 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.
Rth 1:3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Rth 1:4 And they took to themselves wives of the women of Moab;
        the name of the one [was] Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth:
        and they dwelt there about ten years.
Rth 1:5 And Mahlon and Chilion died, both of them;
        and the woman was left by her two children and her husband.
Rth 1:6 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;
        that the LORD had visited His people in giving them bread.
Rth 1:7 Therefore she went forth from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her;
        and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
Rth 1:8
        And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law,
        Go, return each to her mother's house. May the LORD deal kindly with you,
        as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Rth 1:9 May 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.
Rth 1:10 And they said to her, surely we shall return with Thee to Thy people.
Rth 1:11 And Naomi said,
        Turn back, my daughters: why shall ye go with me?
        Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Rth 1:12 Turn back, my daughters, go [your way]; for I [am] too old to have been [with] a husband.
        If I should say, I have hope, [if] I should have a husband also tonight, and should also bear sons;
Rth 1:13 would ye wait for them until they should be grown? Would ye stay for them from having husbands?
        No, my daughters; for it grieves me much for your sakes, that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.
Rth 1:14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again.
        And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved to her.
Rth 1:15 And she said, Behold, Thy sister-in-law has gone back to her people,
        and to her gods: return Thou after Thy sister-in-law.
Rth 1:16 And Ruth said,
        Entreat me not to leave Thee, [or] to return from following Thee:
        for where Thou go, I shall go;
        and where Thou lodge, I shall lodge:
        Thy people [are] my people,
        and Thy God [is] my God:
Rth 1:17 where Thou die, shall I die, and there shall I be buried. May the LORD do so to me,
        and more also, [if aught] but death shall part Thee and me.
Rth 1:18 When she saw that she was steadfastly resolved to go with her,
        then she left speaking to her.
Rth 1:19 So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem.
        And it came to pass, when they had come to Beth-lehem,
        that all the city was moved about them, and they said, [Is] this Naomi?
Rth 1:20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi{pleasant}, call me Marah:
        for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
Rth 1:21 I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty:
        why [then] call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD has testified against me,
        and the Almighty has afflicted me?
Rth 1:22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her,
        who returned from the country of Moab:
        and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley-harvest.

Rth 2:1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth,
        of the family of Elimelech; and his name [was] Boaz.
Rth 2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field,
        and glean ears of grain after [him] in whose eyes I shall find grace.
        And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
Rth 2:3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers:
        and her lot was to light on a part of the field [belonging] to Boaz,
        who [was] of the kindred of Elimelech.
Rth 2:4
        And behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the reapers,
        The LORD [be] with you. And they answered him, May the LORD bless Thee.
Rth 2:5
        Then said Boaz to his servant that was set over the reapers,
        Whose damsel [is] this?
Rth 2:6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said,
        It [is] the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi from the country of Moab:
Rth 2:7 and she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves:
        so she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
Rth 2:8
        Then said Boaz to Ruth, Hear Thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field,
        neither go from hence, but abide here close by my maidens:
Rth 2:9 [let] Thy eyes [be] on the field that they are reaping,
        and go Thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch Thee?
        And when Thou are thirsty go to the vessels, and drink of [that] which the young men have drawn.
Rth 2:10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
        and said to him, Why have I found grace in Thy eyes,
        that Thou should take knowledge of me, seeing I [am] a stranger?
Rth 2:11
        And Boaz answered and said to her, It has fully been shown to me,
        all that Thou have done to Thy mother-in-law since the death of Thy husband:
        and [how] Thou have left Thy father and Thy mother, and the land of Thy nativity,
        and have come to a people which Thou knew not heretofore.
Rth 2:12 May the LORD recompense Thy work, and a full reward be given Thee of the LORD, God of Israel,
        under whose wings Thou have come to trust.
Rth 2:13 Then she said, Let me find grace in Thy eyes, my Lord; for that Thou have comforted me,
        and for that Thou have spoken to the heart of Thy handmaid, though I [am] not like to one of Thy handmaidens.
Rth 2:14
        And Boaz said to her, At meal-time come Thou here, and eat of the bread,
        and dip Thy morsel in the vinegar.
        And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched [grain], and she ate,
        and was satisfied, and left.
Rth 2:15 And when she had risen to glean, Boaz commanded his young men,
        saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
Rth 2:16 and let fall also [some] of the handfuls of purpose for her,
        and leave [them], that she may glean [them], and rebuke her not.
Rth 2:17
        So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out that which she had gleaned:
        and it was about an ephah of barley.
Rth 2:18 And she took [it], and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned:
        and she brought forth, and gave to her what she had reserved after she was satisfied.
Rth 2:19
        And her mother-in-law said to her,
        Where have Thou gleaned today? And where have Thou laboured?
        Be blessed he who took knowledge of Thee!
        And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought,
        and said, The man's name with whom I wrought today [is] Boaz.
Rth 2:20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law,
        Blessed [be] he of the LORD, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead!
        And Naomi said to her, The man [is] near of kin to us, one of our next kinsmen.
Rth 2:21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, he said to me also,
        Thou shall keep close by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
Rth 2:22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law,
        [It is] good, my daughter, that Thou should go out with his maidens,
        that they meet Thee not in any other field.
Rth 2:23 So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz to glean to the end of barley-harvest and wheat-harvest;
        and dwelt with her mother-in-law.

Rth 3:1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, my daughter,
        shall I not seek rest for Thee, that it may be well with Thee?
Rth 3:2 And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens Thou were?
        Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing-floor.
Rth 3:3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint Thee, and put Thy clothing upon Thee, and go down to the threshing-floor:
        [but] make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
Rth 3:4 And it shall be when he lies down, that Thou shall mark the place where he shall lie,
        and Thou shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lay Thee down;
        and he shall tell Thee what Thou shall do.
Rth 3:5 And she said to her, All that Thou say to me I shall do.
Rth 3:6 And she went down to the threshing-floor,
        and did according to all that her mother-in-law bade her.
Rth 3:7 And when Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry,
        he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain:
        and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down.
Rth 3:8
        And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid,
        and turned: and behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Rth 3:9 And he said, Who [are] Thou? And she answered,
        I [am] Ruth Thy handmaid: spread therefore Thy skirt over Thy handmaid;
        for Thou [are] a near kinsman.
Rth 3:10 And he said, Blessed [be] Thou of the LORD, my daughter:
        [for] Thou have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning,
        inasmuch as Thou did not follow young men, whether poor or rich!
Rth 3:11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I shall do to Thee all that Thou require:
        for all the city of my people does know that Thou [are] a virtuous woman.
Rth 3:12 And now it is true that I [am Thy] near kinsman: yet there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Rth 3:13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning,
        [that] if he shall perform to Thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part:
        but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to Thee, then I shall do the part of a kinsman to Thee,
        [as] the LORD lives: lie down until the morning.
Rth 3:14
        And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose before one could know another.
        And he said, Let not be known that a woman came to the threshing-floor.
Rth 3:15 And he said, Bring the cloak that [is] 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. [Rth 2:18]
Rth 3:16 And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who [are] Thou, my daughter?
        And she told her all that the man had done to her.
Rth 3:17 And she said, These six [measures] of barley he gave me;
        for he said to me, Go not empty to Thy mother-in-law.
Rth 3:18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until Thou know how the matter shall fall:
        for the man shall not be in rest, until he has finished the thing this day.

Rth 4:1 Then Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there:
        and behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by;
        to whom he said, Ho, such one! Turn aside,
        sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down [there].
Rth 4:2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said,
        Sit ye down here. And they sat down [there].
Rth 4:3 And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that has come back out of the country of Moab,
        sells a parcel of land, which [was] our brother Elimelech's:
Rth 4:4 and I said, I shall reveal this to Thy ear, saying, Buy [it] before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people.
        If Thou shall redeem [it], redeem [it]: but if Thou shall not redeem [it],
        [then] tell me, that I may know: for [there is] none to redeem [it] but Thou;
        and I [am] after Thee. And he said, I shall redeem [it].
Rth 4:5 Then said Boaz, What day Thou redeem the field of the hand of Naomi,
        and Thou shall acquire Ruth the Moabitess,
        the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. [Deu 25:5]
Rth 4:6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance:
        redeem Thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem [it].
Rth 4:7 Now this [was the manner] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming,
        and concerning changing, for confirming all [things];
        a man plucked off his shoe, and gave [it] to his neighbour: and this [was] a testimony in Israel. [Deu 25:9]
Rth 4:8 Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy [it] for thyself. So he drew off his shoe.
Rth 4:9 And Boaz said to the elders, and [to] all the people,
        Ye [are] witnesses this day, that I have bought all that [was] Elimelech's,
        and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
Rth 4:10 And 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.
Rth 4:11 And all the people that [were] in the gate, and the elders said, [We are] witnesses.
        May the LORD make the woman that has come into Thy house like Rachel and like Leah,
        which two did build the House of Israel: and do Thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem.

Rth 4:12 And let Thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah,
        of the seed which the LORD shall give Thee of this young woman.
Rth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in to her,
        the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.
Rth 4:14 And the women said to Naomi, Blessed [be] the LORD, who has not left Thee this day without a kinsman,
        that his name may be famous in Israel!
Rth 4:15 And he shall be to Thee a restorer of [Thy] soul, and a nourisher of Thy old age:
        for Thy daughter-in-law, who loves Thee, who is better to Thee than seven sons, has borne him.
Rth 4:16 And Naomi took the child, and laid him in her bosom, and became his nurse.
Rth 4:17 And the women, her neighbours, named him a name, saying,
        There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed:
        he [is] the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Rth 4:18
        And these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begot Hezron,
Rth 4:19 and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab,
Rth 4:20 and Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
Rth 4:21 and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
Rth 4:22 and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David. [1Ch 2:11-15 Mat 1:5-6]
Lam 1:1 [Scroll 17 Lamentations].
         [(A)]<How> does 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.
Lam 1:2  [(B)]<She weeps> bitterly in the night, and her tears [are] on her cheeks:
          she has none to comfort [her] among all her lovers:
         all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
Lam 1:3  [(G)]<Gone into captivity> is Judah because of affliction, and because of great servitude:
         she dwells among the heathen, she finds no rest:
         all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
Lam 1:4  [(D)]<The ways> of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn Festivals:
         all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh,
         her virgins are afflicted, and she [is] in bitterness.
Lam 1:5  [(E)]Her adversaries <have become> as chief, her enemies prosper;
          for the LORD has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions:
         her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
Lam 1:6  [(V)]<And departed> has all her beauty of the Daughter of Zion:
         her princes are become like harts [that] find no pasture,
         and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
Lam 1:7  [(Z)]<Remembered> Jerusalem in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things,
          that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none helped her:
         (the adversaries saw her, [and] mocked at her Sabbaths).
Lam 1:8  [(H)]<Grievously> sinned has Jerusalem; therefore she is removed:
          all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness:
          yes, she sighs and turns backward.
Lam 1:9 [(Th)]<Her uncleanness> [is] in her skirts; she remembers not her last end;
         therefore she has been wonderfully abased: she had no comforter.
          LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy has magnified [himself].
Lam 1:10 [(J)]<His hand> has spread [by] the adversary out upon all her pleasant things:
          for she has seen [that] the heathen entered into her Sanctuary,
          whom Thou did command [that] they should not enter into Thy Congregation.
Lam 1:11 [(K)]<All> her people sigh, they seek bread;
          they have given their pleasant things for food to relieve the soul:
          see, LORD, and consider; for I have been become vile.
Lam 1:12 [(L)]<Nothing> to you, all ye that pass by?
          Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which has fallen upon me,
          with which the LORD has afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.
Lam 1:13 [(M)]<From above> has He sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them:
          He has spread a net for my feet, He has turned me back:
          He has made me desolate [and] faint all the day.
Lam 1:14 [(N)]<Bound is> the yoke of my transgressions by his hand:
          they are wreathed, [and] come up upon my neck: He has made my strength to fall,
          the Lord has delivered me into [their] hands, [from whom] I [am] not able to rise.
Lam 1:15 [(X)]<Trampled> by The Lord [are] all my mighty [men] in the middle of me:
          He has called an assembly against me to crush my young men:
          [as] in a winepress has the Lord trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah.
Lam 1:16 [(O)]<For> these [things] I weep; my eye, [my eye] runs down with water,
           because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me:
           my sons are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
Lam 1:17 [(P)]Zion <spreads forth> her hands, [and there is] none to comfort her:
          the LORD has commanded concerning Jacob, [that] his adversaries [should be] around him:
          Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
Lam 1:18 [(C)]<Righteous is> He, the LORD, for I have rebelled against His Commandment:
          hear, I pray you, all the peoples, and behold my sorrow:
          my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
Lam 1:19 [(Q)]<I called> for my lovers, [but] they deceived me:
          my priests and my elders resigned in the city their breath,
          while they sought their food to relieve their souls.
Lam 1:20 [(R)]<Behold>, LORD; for I [am] in distress: my bowels are troubled;
          my heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled:
          abroad the sword bereaves, at home [there is] as death.
Lam 1:21 [(S)]<They have heard> that I sigh: [there is] none to comfort me:
         all my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that Thou have done [it]:
        Thou shall bring the day [that] Thou have called, and they shall be like me.
Lam 1:22 [(T)]<Come> before Thee all their wickedness;
         and do to them, as Thou have done to me for all my transgressions:
         for my sighs [are] many, and my heart [is] faint.

Lam 2:1  [(A)]<How> has the Lord covered the Daughter of Zion with a cloud in His anger,
         [and] cast down from Heaven to the Earth the beauty of Israel,
          and remembered not His stool of His feet in the day of His anger!
Lam 2:2  [(B)]The Lord <has swallowed up> all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied:
          He has thrown down in His wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah;
          He has brought [them] down to the ground: He has polluted the kingdom and its princes.
Lam 2:3  [(G)]<He has cut off> in [his] fierce anger all the horn of Israel:
          He has drawn back His right hand from before the enemy,
          and He burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, [which] devours on every side.
Lam 2:4  [(D)]<He has 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 like fire His fury.
Lam 2:5  [(E)]The Lord <has become> as an enemy: He has swallowed up Israel,
          He has swallowed up all her palaces: He has destroyed his strong holds,
          and has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
Lam 2:6  [(V)]<And has violently taken away> His Tabernacle, as a garden: He has destroyed His places of the assembly:
          the LORD has caused the solemn Festivals and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion,
          and in the indignation of His anger has despised the king and the priest.
Lam 2:7  [(Z)]The Lord <has Rejected> His Altar, He has abhorred His Sanctuary,
          He has 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 Festival.
Lam 2:8  [(H)]The LORD <has purposed> to destroy the wall of the Daughter of Zion:
          He has stretched out a line, He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying:
         therefore He made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
Lam 2:9 [(Th)]Her gates <have sunk> into the ground;
          He has 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.
Lam 2:10 [(J)]They <Sit> upon the ground,
           keep silence: and have cast up dust upon their heads! [O] Elders of the Daughter of Zion;
         [they] girded themselves with sackcloth and hang down their heads to the ground! [O] Virgins of Jerusalem.
Lam 2:11 [(K)]<Failing> with tears do my eyes, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the Earth,
         for the destruction of the daughter of my people;
         because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
Lam 2:12 [(L)]<To their mothers> they say, Where [is] grain and wine?
          When they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city,
          when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
Lam 2:13 [(M)]<What> shall I testify for Thee? What thing shall I liken to Thee, Daughter of Jerusalem?
          What shall I equal to Thee, that I may comfort Thee, virgin Daughter of Zion?
         For Thy breach [is] great like the sea: who can heal Thee?
Lam 2:14 [(N)]<Thy prophets> have seen vain and foolish things for Thee:
         and they have not revealed Thy iniquity, to turn away Thy captivity;
         but have seen for Thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
Lam 2:15 [(X)]<Clap> [their] hands at Thee,
          all that pass by; 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 all the Earth?
Lam 2:16 [{2:17}(O)]The LORD <has done> [that] which He had devised; He has fulfilled his word that He had commanded in the days of old:
          He has thrown down, and has not pitied: and He has caused [Thy] enemy to rejoice over Thee,
          He has set up the horn of Thy adversaries.
Lam 2:17 [{2:16}(P)]All Thy enemies <have opened> their mouth against Thee:
          they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed [her] up:
          certainly this [is] the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen [it].
Lam 2:18 [(C)]Their heart <cried> to the Lord, wall of the Daughter of Zion,
          let like a river tears run down, day and night:
          give thyself no rest; let not the pupil of Thy eye cease.
Lam 2:19 [(Q)]<Arise>, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches;
          pour out Thy heart like water before the Face of the LORD:
          lift up Thy hands towards Him for the soul of Thy young children, (that faint for hunger at the head of every street).
Lam 2:20 [(R)]<Behold>, LORD, and consider to whom Thou have done this.
          Shall the women eat their fruit, children of a span long?
          Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the Sanctuary of the Lord?
Lam 2:21 [(S)]On the ground <lie> the young and the old in the streets:
          my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword;
         Thou have slain [them] in the day of Thy anger; Thou have killed, [and] not pitied.
Lam 2:22 [(T)]<Thou have called> as in a solemn day my terrors around,
          so that in the Day of the LORD's anger, none escaped nor remained:
          those that I have swaddled and brought up, has my enemy consumed.

Lam 3:1 [(A)]<I> [am] the man [that] has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
Lam 3:2 [(A)]<At> Me has He led, and brought me [into] darkness, but not [into] light.
Lam 3:3 [(A)]<Surely,> against me is He turned; He turns His hand [against me] all the day.

Lam 3:4 [(B)]My skin <wears out> and my flesh; He has broken my bones.
Lam 3:5 [(B)]<Against> me has He built, and surrounded [me] with gall and labour.
Lam 3:6 [(B)]<In dark places> has He set me, as [they that are] dead of old.

Lam 3:7 [(G)]<He has hedged> me about, that I cannot get out: He has made my copper fetter heavy.
Lam 3:8 [(G)]<Also> when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer.
Lam 3:9 [(G)]<He has enclosed> my ways with hewn stone, He has made my paths crooked.

Lam 3:10 [(D)][As] a <bear> lying in wait [was] He to me, [and as] a lion in secret places.
Lam 3:11 [(D)]<My ways> has He turned aside, and pulled me in pieces: He has made me desolate.
Lam 3:12 [(D)]<He has bent> his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

Lam 3:13 [(E)]<To enter> into my reins He has caused the arrows of his quiver.
Lam 3:14 [(E)]I <have been> derision to all my people; [and] their song all the day.
Lam 3:15 [(E)]<He has filled> me with bitterness, He has made me drunken with wormwood.

Lam 3:16 [(V)]<And He has broken> my teeth with gravel, He has covered me with ashes.
Lam 3:17 [(V)]<And far off> from peace Thou have removed my soul: I forgot prosperity.
Lam 3:18 [(V)]<And I said>, my strength and my hope has perished from the LORD.

Lam 3:19 [(Z)]<Remembering> my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
Lam 3:20 [(Z)]<Still in remembrance> has my soul [them], and is humbled in me.
Lam 3:21 [(Z)]<This> I recall to my heart, therefore have I hope.

Lam 3:22 [(H)][It is] <mercies> of the LORD's that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.
Lam 3:23 [(H)][They are] <new> every morning: great [is] Thy faithfulness.
Lam 3:24 [(H)]<My portion> [is] the LORD, said my soul; therefore shall I hope in Him.

Lam 3:25 [(Th)]<Good> [is] the LORD to them that wait for Him, to the soul [that] seeks Him.
Lam 3:26 [(Th)]<Good> [is] that [a man] should both hope and quietly wait for the Salvation of the LORD.
Lam 3:27 [(Th)]<Good> [is] for a man that He should bear the yoke in his youth.

Lam 3:28 [(J)]<He sits> alone, and keeps silence, because He has borne [it] upon him.
Lam 3:29 [(J)]<He puts> his mouth in the dust; if there may be hope.
Lam 3:30 [(J)]<He gives> [his] cheek to him that smites him: He is filled full with reproach.

Lam 3:31 [(K)]<For> the Lord shall not cast off forever.
Lam 3:32 [(K)]<For> though He causes grief, yet He shall have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies.
Lam 3:33 [(K)]<For> He does not afflict from His heart nor grieve the sons of men.

Lam 3:34 [(L)]<To crush> under His feet all the prisoners of the Earth.
Lam 3:35 [(L)]<To turn aside> the right of a man before the face of the Most High.
Lam 3:36 [(L)]<To subvert> a man in his cause, the Lord approves not.

Lam 3:37 [(M)]<Who> [is] He [that] said, and it comes to pass, [when] the Lord commands [it] not?
Lam 3:38 [(M)]<Out of the mouth> of the Most High proceeds not evil and good?
Lam 3:39 [(M)]<Why> does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

Lam 3:40 [(N)]<Let us search> and try our ways, and turn back to the LORD.
Lam 3:41 [(N)]<Let us lift up> our heart with [our] hands to God in the Heavens.
Lam 3:42 [(N)]<We> have transgressed and have rebelled: Thou have not pardoned.

Lam 3:43 [(X)]<Thou have covered> with anger, and persecuted us: Thou have slain, Thou have not pitied.
Lam 3:44 [(X)]<Thou have covered> Thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.
Lam 3:45 [(X)]<As offscouring> have Thou made us and refuse in the middle of the people.

Lam 3:46 [{3:49}(O)]<My eye> trickles down, and ceases not, without any intermission.
Lam 3:47 [{3:50}(O)]<Until> the LORD shall look down, and behold from Heaven.
Lam 3:48 [{3:51}(O)]<My eye> affects my soul because of all the daughters of my city.

Lam 3:49 [{3:46}(P)]All our enemies <have opened> their mouths against us.
Lam 3:50 [{3:47}(P)]<Fear> and pitfall is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
Lam 3:51 [{3:48}(P)]With <rivers> of water runs my eye down for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Lam 3:52 [(C)]My enemies <hunted> me fiercely, like a bird without cause.
Lam 3:53 [(C)]<They have cut off> my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
Lam 3:54 [(C)]Waters <flowed over> my head; [then] I said, I [am] cut off.

Lam 3:55 [(Q)]<I called> upon Thy name, LORD, out of the low dungeon.
Lam 3:56 [(Q)]<My voice> have Thou heard: hide not Thy ear at my breathing, at my cry.
Lam 3:57 [(Q)]<Thou drew near> in the day [that] I called upon Thee: Thou said, Fear not.

Lam 3:58 [(R)]<Thou have pleaded> Lord, the causes of my soul; Thou have redeemed my life.
Lam 3:59 [(R)]<Thou have seen> my wrong; LORD: judge Thou my cause.
Lam 3:60 [(R)]<Thou have seen> all their vengeance [and] all their imaginations against me.

Lam 3:61 [(S)]<Thou have heard> their reproach, LORD, [and] all their imaginations against me.
Lam 3:62 [(S)]<The lips> of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
Lam 3:63 [(S)]Behold <their sitting> down, and their rising up; I [am] their music.

Lam 3:64 [(T)]<Render> to them a recompense, LORD, according to the work of their hands.
Lam 3:65 [(T)]<Give> them sorrow of heart, Thy curse to them.
Lam 3:66 [(T)]<Persecute> and destroy them in anger from under the Heavens of the LORD.

Lam 4:1  [(A)]<How> is the gold become dim! [How] is the most fine gold changed!
        The stones of the Sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
Lam 4:2  [(B)]The precious <sons> of Zion, comparable to fine gold,
        how are they esteemed as Earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
Lam 4:3  [(G)]<Even> the monsters draw out the breast, they nurse their young ones:
        the daughter of my people [is become] cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
Lam 4:4  [(D)]The tongue <cleaves> of the sucking child to his mouth{palate} for thirst:
        the young children ask bread, [and] no man breaks{gives} [it] to them.
Lam 4:5  [(E)]<They that fed> delicately are desolate in the streets:
        they that were brought up in crimson embrace dunghills.
Lam 4:6  [(V)]<And Greater is> the iniquity of the daughter of my people than the punishment of the sin of Sodom,
        that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
Lam 4:7  [(Z)]<Purer> than snow <were> her Nazarites, they were whiter than milk,
        they were redder in body than rubies, their polishing [was] of sapphire.
Lam 4:8  [(H)]<Darker> than a coal is their appearance; they are not known in the streets:
        their skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
Lam 4:9 [(Th)]<Better> [are they be] slain with the sword [then they] be slain with hunger:
        for these flows away, stricken through for [lack of] the fruits of the field.
Lam 4:10 [(J)]<The hands> of the pitiful women have boiled their own children:
        they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Lam 4:11 [(K)]The LORD <has accomplished> his fury; He has poured out his fierce anger,
        and has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has devoured her foundations.
Lam 4:12 [(L)]They would <not> have believed (The kings of the Earth, and all the inhabitants of the World),
        that the adversary and the enemy would have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
Lam 4:13 [(M)]<For the sins> of her prophets, [and] the iniquities of her priests,
        that have shed, in the middle of her, the blood of the just.
Lam 4:14 [(N)]<They have wandered> [as] blind [men] in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood,
        so that men could not touch their garments.
Lam 4:15 [(X)]<Depart> ye, they cried to them, [it is] unclean; depart, depart, touch not:
        when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn [there].
Lam 4:16 [{4:17}(O)]<While> we are, our eyes fail, for our help is vain:
        in our watching we have watched for a nation [that] could not save [us].
Lam 4:17 [{4:16}(P)]<The presence> of the LORD has divided them; He shall no more regard them:
        they respected the persons{favouritism} not of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
Lam 4:18 [(C)]<They hunted> our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near,
        our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
Lam 4:19 [(Q)]<Swifter were> our persecutors than the eagles of Heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains,
        they laid in wait for us in the wilderness.
Lam 4:20 [(R)]<The breath> of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits,
        of whom we said, Under His shadow we shall live among the heathen.
Lam 4:21 [(S)]<Rejoice> and be glad, daughter of Edom, that dwell in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through to Thee:
        Thou shall be drunken, and shall make thyself naked.
Lam 4:22 [(T)]<Finished> is the punishment of Thy iniquity, Daughter of Zion; He shall no more carry Thee away into captivity:
        He shall visit Thy iniquity, daughter of Edom; He shall disclose Thy sins.
Lam 5:1 Remember, LORD, what is come upon us:
         consider, and behold our reproach.
Lam 5:2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers,
         our houses to aliens.
Lam 5:3 We are orphans and fatherless,
         our mothers [are] as widows.
Lam 5:4 We have drank our water for money;
         our wood is sold to us.
Lam 5:5 Our necks [are] under persecution:
         we labour, [and] have no rest.
Lam 5:6 We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians,
         [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
Lam 5:7 Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not;
         and we have borne their iniquities.
Lam 5:8 Servants have ruled over us:
         [there is] none that does deliver [us] out of their hand.
Lam 5:9 We procured our bread with [the peril of] our souls,
         because of the sword of the wilderness.
Lam 5:10 Our skin was black like an oven,
          because of the scorching famine.
Lam 5:11 They raped the women in Zion,
          the maids in the cities of Judah.
Lam 5:12 Princes were hanged by their hand:
          the faces of elders were not honoured.
Lam 5:13 They took the young men to grind,
          and the children fell under the wood.
Lam 5:14 The elders have ceased from the gate,
          the young men from their music.
Lam 5:15 The joy of our heart has ceased;
          our dance is turned into mourning.
Lam 5:16 The crown is fallen [from] our head:
          woe to us, that we have sinned!
Lam 5:17 For this our heart is faint;
          for these [things] our eyes are dim.
Lam 5:18 Because of the Mount Zion, which is desolate,
          the foxes walk upon it.
Lam 5:19 Thou, LORD, remain forever;
          Thy throne from generation to generation.
Lam 5:20 Why do Thou forget us forever,
          [and] forsake us so long time?
Lam 5:21 Turn Thou us to Thee, LORD, and we shall be turned;
          renew our days as of old.
Lam 5:22 But Thou have utterly rejected us;
          Thou are very wroth against us.
Ecc 1:1 [Scroll 18 Ecclesiastes].
        The words of the preacher,
         the son of David, king of Jerusalem.

Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, said the preacher, Vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.
Ecc 1:3 What profit has a man of all his labour, which he takes under the sun?
Ecc 1:4 A generation passes away,
        and [another] generation comes:
        but the Earth stays forever.
Ecc 1:5 The sun also rises,
        and the sun goes down,
        and hastens to his place where he arose.
Ecc 1:6 The wind goes towards the south,
        and turns about to the north;
        it whirls about continually,
        and the wind returns again according to its circuits.
Ecc 1:7 All the rivers run into the sea;
        yet the sea [is] not full;
        to the place whence the rivers come,
        there they return back.
Ecc 1:8 All things [are] full of labour; man cannot utter [it]:
        the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
        nor the ear filled with hearing.
Ecc 1:9
        The thing that has been, it [is that] which shall be;
        and that which is done [is] that which shall be done:
        and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.
Ecc 1:10 Is there [any] thing of which it may be said,
        See, this [is] new?
        It has been already of old time,
        which was before us.
Ecc 1:11 [There is] no remembrance of former [things];
        neither shall there be [any] remembrance of [things],
        that are to come with [those] that shall come after.
Ecc 1:12
        I the preacher have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Ecc 1:13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all [things] that are done under Heaven:
        this grievous labour has GOD given to the sons of men to be exercised with it.
Ecc 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun;
        and behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecc 1:15 [That which is] crooked cannot be made straight:
        and that which is lacking cannot be numbered.
Ecc 1:16 I communed with my own heart, saying, Behold, I have come to great estate,
        and have gained more wisdom,
        than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem:
        and my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
Ecc 1:17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly:
        I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

Ecc 1:18 For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

Ecc 2:1 I said in my heart, Come now, I shall prove Thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and behold, this also [is] vanity.
Ecc 2:2 I said of laughter, [It is] mad: and of mirth, What does it?
Ecc 2:3 I sought in my heart, to give myself to wine, yet acquainting my heart with wisdom;
        and to lay hold on folly, until I might see what [was] that good for the sons of men,
        which they should do under the Heavens, the number of the days of their lives.
Ecc 2:4 I made me great works; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards:
Ecc 2:5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all [kind of] fruits:
Ecc 2:6 I made me pools of water, to water with them the wood that brings forth trees:
Ecc 2:7 I procured me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house;
        also I had many possessions of great and small cattle above all that were before me in Jerusalem:
Ecc 2:8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings,
        and of the provinces: I procured me men-singers and women-singers,
        and the delights of the sons of men, [as] of all sorts musical instruments,
Ecc 2:9 so I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem:
        also my wisdom remained with me.
Ecc 2:10 And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy;
        for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
Ecc 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do:
        and behold, all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit,
        and [there was] no profit under the sun.

Ecc 2:12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly:
        for what [can] the man [do] that comes after the king?
        That which has been already done.
Ecc 2:13 Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
Ecc 2:14 The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool walks in darkness:
        and I perceived also that one event happens to them all.
Ecc 2:15 Then I said in my heart,
        As it happens to the fool, so it happens even to me;
        and why was I then more wise?
        Then I said in my heart, that this also [is] vanity.
Ecc 2:16 For [there is] no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool forever;
        seeing that which now [is] in the days to come shall all be forgotten.
        And how dies the wise [man]? As the fool.
Ecc 2:17 Therefore I hated life;
        because the work that is wrought under the sun [is] grievous to me:
        for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecc 2:18 And I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun:
        because I should leave it to the man that shall be after me.
Ecc 2:19 And who knows whether he shall be a wise [man] or a fool?
        Yet he shall have rule over all my labour in which I have laboured,
        and in which I have showed myself wise under the sun. This [is] also vanity.
Ecc 2:20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
Ecc 2:21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge,
        and in equity; yet to a man that has not laboured in it,
        shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil.
Ecc 2:22 For what has man of all his labour,
        and of the vexation of his heart, in which he has laboured under the sun?
Ecc 2:23 For all his days [are] sorrows, and his labour grief;
        yes, his heart takes not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Ecc 2:24 [There is] nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink,
        and [that] he should make his soul see good in his labour.
        This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of GOD.
Ecc 2:25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten [to it] more than I?
Ecc 2:26 Because He gives to a man who [is] good in His eyes, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy:
        but to the sinner He gives toil, to gather, and to amass,
        that He may give to him [that is] good before GOD.
        This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 3:1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heavens;
Ecc 3:2 {Song of Seasons}.
        A time to be born, and a time to die;
        a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;
Ecc 3:3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
        a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Ecc 3:4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
        a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Ecc 3:5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones;
        a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
Ecc 3:6 a time to get, and a time to lose;
        a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Ecc 3:7 a time to rend, and a time to sew;
        a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ecc 3:8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
        a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecc 3:9 What profit has he who works in that in which he labours?
Ecc 3:10 I have seen the labour, which GOD has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
Ecc 3:11 He has made every [thing] beautiful in its time: also He has set the Age{World} in their heart,
        so that no man can find out the work that GOD makes from the beginning to the end.

Ecc 3:12 I know that [there is] no good in them,
        but for [a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
Ecc 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink,
        and enjoy the good of all his labour, it [is] the gift of GOD.
Ecc 3:14 I know that, whatever GOD does, it shall be forever:
        nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it:
        and GOD does [it], that [men] should fear before Him.

Ecc 3:15 That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been;
        and GOD requires that which has been pursued.
Ecc 3:16 And moreover, I saw under the sun,
        the place of judgment, [that] wickedness [was] there;
        and the place of righteousness, [that] wickedness [was] there.
Ecc 3:17 I said in my heart, GOD shall judge the righteous and the wicked:
        for [there is] a time there for every purpose and for every work.
Ecc 3:18 I said in my heart concerning the state of the sons of men,
        that GOD might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
Ecc 3:19 For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them:
        as the one dies, so dies the other; yes, they have all one breath;
        so that a man has no pre-eminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.
Ecc 3:20 All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn back to dust.
Ecc 3:21 Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward,
        and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the Earth?
Ecc 3:22 Therefore I perceive that [there is] nothing better,
        than that a man should rejoice in his own works;
        for that [is] his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Ecc 4:1 So I returned, and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun:
        and behold the tears of [such as were] oppressed, and they had no comforter;
        and on the side of their oppressors [there was] power; but they had no comforter.
Ecc 4:2 Therefore I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive.

Ecc 4:3 And better [is he] than both they,
        who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work,
        that is done under the sun.
Ecc 4:4 Again, I considered all labour, and every right work,
        that for this a man is envied by his neighbour.
        This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecc 4:5 The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.
Ecc 4:6 Better [is] a handful [with] quietness,
        than both the hands full [with] toil and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 4:7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

Ecc 4:8 There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second;
        yes, he has neither son nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour;
        neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [said he], For whom do I labour,
        and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yes, it [is] a grievous labour.
Ecc 4:9 Better [are] two than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

Ecc 4:10 For if they fall, the one shall lift up his fellow:
        but woe to him [that is] alone when he falls; for he [has] not another to help him to rise!
Ecc 4:11 Also, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm [alone]?
Ecc 4:12 And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecc 4:13 Better [is] a poor and a wise child, than an old and foolish king, who no knows to be admonished.
Ecc 4:14 For out of prison he comes to reign; whereas also he [that is] born in his kingdom becomes poor.
Ecc 4:15 I considered all the living who walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
Ecc 4:16 [There is] no end of all the people, 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.

Ecc 5:1 Keep Thy foot when Thou go 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.
Ecc 5:2 Be not rash with Thy mouth, and let not Thy heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before GOD:
        for GOD [is] in Heaven, and Thou upon the Earth: therefore let Thy words be few.
Ecc 5:3 For a dream comes through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice [is known] by a multitude of words.
Ecc 5:4 When Thou vow a vow to GOD, defer not to pay it;
        for He [has] no pleasure in fools: pay that which Thou have vowed.
Ecc 5:5 Better [is it] that Thou should not vow, than that Thou should vow and not pay.
Ecc 5:6 Allow not Thy mouth to cause Thy flesh to sin;
        neither say Thou before the Angel, that it [was] an error:
        why should GOD be angry at Thy voice, and destroy the work of Thy hands?
Ecc 5:7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [diverse] vanities: but rather fear GOD.

Ecc 5:8 If Thou see the oppression of the poor,
        and violent perversion of judgment and justice in a province, wonder not at the matter:
        for he [that is] higher than the highest regards; and [there are] higher than they.
Ecc 5:9 And the profit of the Earth is for all: the king [himself] is served by the field.
Ecc 5:10 He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver;
        nor he who loves abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity.
Ecc 5:11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them:
         and what good [is there] to the owners of them, saving the beholding [of them] with their eyes?
Ecc 5:12 The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eats little or much:
          but the abundance of the rich shall not allow him to sleep.
Ecc 5:13 There is a grievous evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners of them to their hurt.
Ecc 5:14 But those riches perish by evil labour: and he begets a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.
Ecc 5:15 As he came out from the womb of his mother, naked shall he return to go as he came,
          and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
Ecc 5:16 And this also [is] a grievous evil, [that] in all points as he came, so shall he go:
          and what profit has he who has laboured for the wind?
Ecc 5:17 All his days also he eats in darkness, and he [has] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
Ecc 5:18 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 labour that he takes under the sun, the number of the days of his life, which GOD gives him: for it [is] his portion.
Ecc 5:19 Every man also to whom GOD has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in His labour; this [is] the gift of GOD.
Ecc 5:20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because GOD answering him in the joy of his heart.

Ecc 6:1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it [is] common among men:
Ecc 6:2 a man to whom GOD has given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires,
        yet GOD gives him not power to eat of it, but a stranger eats it: this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.
Ecc 6:3 If a man begets a hundred [children], and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with good,
        and also [that] he has no burial; I say, [that] an untimely birth [is] better than he.
Ecc 6:4 For he comes with vanity, and departs in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
Ecc 6:5 And he has not seen the sun, nor known [anything]: this has more rest than the other.
Ecc 6:6 Yes, though he lives a thousand years twice [told], yet has he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
Ecc 6:7 All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the [appetite of the] soul is not filled.
Ecc 6:8 For what has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor, that knows to walk before the living?

Ecc 6:9 Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the [desire of the] soul.
         This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecc 6:10 That which has been is named already, and it is known that it [is] man:
          neither may he contend with Him that is mightier than he.
Ecc 6:11 Seeing there are many [things] that increase vanity, what [is] man the better?
Ecc 6:12 For who knows what [is] good for man in [this] life, the number days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow?
        For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

Ecc 7:1 Better [is a good] name than precious ointment;
        Better [is] the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Ecc 7:2 Better [is] 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 shall lay [it] to his heart.
Ecc 7:3 Better [is] sorrow than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made glad.
Ecc 7:4 The heart of the wise [is] in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools [is] in the house of mirth.
Ecc 7:5 Better [is] to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
Ecc 7:6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so [is] the laughter of the fool: this also [is] vanity.
Ecc 7:7 Surely, oppression makes a wise man mad; and a gift destroys the heart.
Ecc 7:8 Better [is] the end of a thing than its beginning:
        Better [is] the patient in spirit than the proud in spirit.

Ecc 7:9 Be not hasty in Thy spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
Ecc 7:10 Say not Thou, What is [the cause] that the former days were better than these? For [it is] not wisdom [that] Thou ask this.
Ecc 7:11 Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance: and [by it there is] profit to them that see the sun.
Ecc 7:12 For wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] a defence: but the excellence of knowledge [is], [that] wisdom gives life to them that have it.
Ecc 7:13 Consider the work of GOD: for who can make [that] straight, which He has made crooked?
Ecc 7:14 In the day of goodness be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: GOD also has set the one opposed to the other,
        to the end that man should find nothing after him.
Ecc 7:15 All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perishes in his righteousness,
        and there is a wicked [man] that prolongs [his life] in his wickedness.
Ecc 7:16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why should Thou destroy thyself?
Ecc 7:17 Be not over much wicked, neither be Thou foolish: why should Thou die before Thy time?
Ecc 7:18 [It is] good that Thou should take hold of this;
        yes, also from this withdraw not Thy hand: for he who fears GOD shall escape from them all.
Ecc 7:19 The wisdom strengthens the wise more than ten mighty [men] who are in the city.
Ecc 7:20 For [there is] not a just man upon Earth, that doing good, and sins not.
Ecc 7:21 Also to all words that they speak give not Thy heart; lest Thou hear Thy servant curse Thee:
Ecc 7:22 for often also Thy own heart knows that Thou thyself likewise have cursed others.
Ecc 7:23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I shall be wise; but it [was] far from me.
Ecc 7:24 That which is far off, and exceedingly deep, who can find it out?
Ecc 7:25 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom,
        and the reason [of things], and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness [and] madness:
Ecc 7:26 and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart [is] snares and nets,
        [and] her hands [as] bands: whoever pleases GOD shall escape from her;
        but the sinner shall be taken by her.
Ecc 7:27 Behold, this have I found, said the preacher, [counting] one by one, to find out the account:
Ecc 7:28 which yet my soul seeks, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found;
        but a woman among all those have I not found.
Ecc 7:29 See, this only have I found, that GOD has made man upright;
        but they have sought out many inventions.

Ecc 8:1 Who [is] as the wise [man]? And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
        A man's wisdom makes his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
Ecc 8:2 I [counsel Thee] to keep the king's commandment, and [that] in regard of the oath of GOD.
Ecc 8:3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he does whatever pleases Him.
Ecc 8:4 Where the word of a king [is], [there is] power: and who may say to him, what do Thou?
Ecc 8:5 He who keeps the Commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerns both time and judgment;
Ecc 8:6 because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man [is] great upon him.
Ecc 8:7 For he knows not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
Ecc 8:8 [There is] no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither has 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.
Ecc 8:9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun:
        [there is] a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.
Ecc 8:10 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.

Ecc 8:11 Because sentence [against] an evil work is not executed speedily,
        therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Ecc 8:12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his [days] are prolonged,
        yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear GOD, who fear before Him:
Ecc 8:13 but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong [his] days,
        [which are] as a shadow; because he fears not before GOD.
Ecc 8:14 There is a vanity which is done upon the Earth; that there are just [men],
        to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked [men],
        to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Ecc 8:15 Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun,
        than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry:
        for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which GOD gives him under the sun.
Ecc 8:16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the Earth:
        (for also [there is that] neither day nor night sees sleep with his eyes).
Ecc 8:17 Then I beheld all the work of GOD, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun:
        because though a man may labour to seek [it] out, yet he shall not find [it];
        yes further; though a wise [man] thinks to know [it], yet shall he not be able to find [it].

Ecc 9:1 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 knows either love or hatred [by] all [that is] before them.
Ecc 9:2 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 sacrifices,
        and to him that sacrifices not: as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he who swears, as he who fears an oath.
Ecc 9:3 This [is] an evil among all [things] that are done under the sun,
        that [there is] one event to all: yes, 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.
Ecc 9:4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything,
        neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecc 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, has now perished;
        neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.

Ecc 9:7 Go Thy way, eat Thy bread with joy, and drink Thy wine with a merry heart;
        for GOD now accepts Thy works.
Ecc 9:8 Let Thy garments be always white; and let Thy head lack no ointment.
Ecc 9:9 Live joyfully with the wife whom Thou love all the days of the life of Thy vanity,
        which he has given Thee under the sun, all the days of Thy vanity:
        for that [is] Thy portion in [this] life, and in Thy labour which Thou take under the sun.
Ecc 9:10 Whatever Thy hand finds to do, do [it] with Thy might;
        for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where Thou go.

Ecc 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift,
        nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise,
        nor yet riches to men of understanding,
        nor yet favour to men of skill;
        but time and chance happens to them all.
Ecc 9:12 For man also knows 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 falls suddenly upon them.
Ecc 9:13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun,
        and it [seemed] to me great:
Ecc 9:14 [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:
Ecc 9:15 now there was found in it a poor wise man,
        and he by his wisdom delivered the city;
        yet no man remembered that poor man.
Ecc 9:16 Then I said, wisdom [is] better than strength:
        but the poor man's wisdom [is] despised,
        and his words are not heard.
Ecc 9:17 The words of wise [men are] heard in quiet,
        more than the cry of him that rules among fools.
Ecc 9:18 Better [is] Wisdom than weapons of war:
        but one sinner destroys much good.

Ecc 10:1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the perfumer to send forth a stinking savour:
        [so does] a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honour.
Ecc 10:2 A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's heart [is] at his left.
Ecc 10:3 Also, when he who is a fool walks by the way, his heart fails him,
        and he said to every one [that] he [is] a fool.
Ecc 10:4 If the spirit of the ruler rises against Thee, leave not Thy place;
        for yielding pacifies great offences.
Ecc 10:5 There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun,
        as an error [which] proceeds from the ruler:
Ecc 10:6 folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
Ecc 10:7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the Earth.
Ecc 10:8 He who digs a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaks a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
Ecc 10:9 Whoever removes stones shall be hurt by them; [and] he who cleaves wood shall be endangered by it.
Ecc 10:10 If the iron is blunt, and he does not whet the edge, then must he use more strength:
        but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.

Ecc 10:11 Surely, the serpent shall bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
Ecc 10:12 The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool shall swallow up himself.
Ecc 10:13 The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness.
Ecc 10:14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
Ecc 10:15 The labour of the foolish wearies every one of them, because he knows not how to go to the city.

Ecc 10:16 Woe to Thee, land, when Thy king [is] a child, and Thy princes eat in the morning!
Ecc 10:17 Blessed [are] Thou, land, when Thy king [is] the son of nobles, and Thy princes eat in due season,
        for strength, and not for drunkenness!
Ecc 10:18 By much slothfulness the building decays; and through idleness of the hands the house drops through.
Ecc 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answers all [things].
Ecc 10:20 Curse not the king, even not in Thy thought; and curse not the rich in Thy bed-chamber:
        for a fowl of the air shall carry the voice, and that which has wings shall tell the matter.

Ecc 11:1 Cast Thy bread upon the waters: for Thou shall find it after many days.
Ecc 11:2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for Thou know not what evil shall be upon the Earth.
Ecc 11:3
        If the clouds are full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the Earth:
        and if the tree falls towards the south, or towards the north,
        in the place where the tree falls, there it shall be.
Ecc 11:4 He who observes the wind shall not sow; and he who regards the clouds shall not reap.
Ecc 11:5 As Thou know not what [is] the way of the spirit, as the bones in the womb of the full:
        even so Thou know not the works of GOD who makes all.
Ecc 11:6 In the morning sow Thy seed, and in the evening withhold not Thy hand:
        for Thou know not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good.
Ecc 11:7
        Truly the light [is] sweet, and a pleasant [thing it is] for the eyes to behold the sun:
Ecc 11:8 but if a man shall live many years, [and] rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness;
        for they shall be many. All that comes [is] vanity.
Ecc 11:9 Rejoice, young man, in Thy youth; and let Thy heart cheer Thee in the days of Thy youth,
        and walk in the ways of Thy heart, and in the sight of Thy eyes:
        but know Thou, that for all these [things] GOD shall bring Thee into judgment.
Ecc 11:10 Therefore remove sorrow from Thy heart,
        and put away evil from Thy flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity.
Ecc 12:1
        Remember now Thy Creators in the days of Thy youth,
        while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near,
        when Thou shall say, I have no pleasure in them;
Ecc 12:2 while the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, are not darkened,
        nor the clouds return after the rain.

Ecc 12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble,
        and the strong men shall bow themselves,
        and the grinders cease because they are few,
        and those that look out of the windows shall be darkened,
Ecc 12:4 and the doors shall be shut in the streets,
        when the sound of the grinding shall be low,
        and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird,
        and all the daughters of music shall be brought low.
Ecc 12:5 Also [when] they shall be afraid of [that which is] high,
        and fears [shall be] in the way,
        and the almond tree shall flourish,
        and the grasshopper shall be a burden,
        and desire shall fail: because man goes to his long home,
        and the mourners go about the streets.
Ecc 12:6 Or ever the silver cord shall be loosed,
        or the golden bowl be broken,
        or the pitcher be broken at the fountain,
        or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
        and the spirit shall return to GOD who gave it.
Ecc 12:8 Vanity of vanities said the preacher; all [is] vanity.

Ecc 12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge:
        yes, he gave good heed, and sought out, [and] set in order many proverbs.
Ecc 12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words:
        and [that which was] written [was] upright, words of truth.
Ecc 12:11 The words of the wise [are] as goads,
        and as nails fastened [by] the masters of assemblies,
        [which] are given from One Shepherd.
Ecc 12:12 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.
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
        Fear GOD, and keep His Commandments:
        for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.
Ecc 12:14 For GOD shall bring every work into judgment,
        with every secret thing, whether [it is] good, or whether [it is] evil.

Est 1:1 [Scroll 19 Esther].
        And it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus,
        (this [is] Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Cush, [over] a hundred twenty seven provinces):
Est 1:2 [that] in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat upon the throne of his kingdom, which [was] in Shushan the palace,
Est 1:3 in the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants.
        The power of Persia and [the] Medes, the nobles and princes of the provinces, [being] before him:
Est 1:4 when he showed the riches of the glory of his kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, a hundred eighty days.
Est 1:5 And when these days had expired, the king made a feast for all the people that were present in Shushan the palace,
        both for great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
Est 1:6 [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.
Est 1:7 And they gave [them] drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse) and royal wine in abundance, according to the hand of the king.
Est 1:8 And the drinking [was] according to the law; none constrained:
        for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
Est 1:9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women [in] the royal house which [belonged] to king Ahasuerus.
Est 1:10
        On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine,
        he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas,
        (the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king),
Est 1:11 to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she [was] nice to look on.
Est 1:12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by the hand of [his] chamberlains:
        therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
Est 1:13 And the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, for so [was] the king's manner towards all that knew law and judgment.
Est 1:14 And the next to him [was] Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan,
        (the seven princes of Persia and [the] Medes, who saw the king's face, [and] who sat the first in the kingdom).
Est 1:15 What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
Est 1:16
        And Memucan answered before the king and the princes,
        Vashti the queen has 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.
Est 1:17 For [this] deed of the queen shall come abroad to 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.
Est 1:18 [Likewise] shall the ladies of Persia and [the] Medes say this day to all the king's princes,
        who have heard of the deed of the queen.
        Thus [shall there arise] too much contempt and wrath.
Est 1:19 If it pleases the king, let a royal commandment go from him,
        and let it be written among the Laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered.
        That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she.
Est 1:20 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 honour to their husbands, both to great and small.
Est 1:21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
Est 1:22 for he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language,
        that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that [it] should be published according to the language of every people.

Est 2:1 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.
Est 2:2 Then said the king's servants that ministered to him, Let there be nice young virgins sought for the king:
Est 2:3 and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may collect all the nice young virgins to Shushan the palace,
        to the house of the women, into the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for cleaning be given [them]:
Est 2:4 and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

Est 2:5 There was a Jewish man, in Shushan the palace, whose name [was] Mordecai,
        the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjaminite;
Est 2:6 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.
Est 2:7 And he brought up Hadassah, that [is], Esther, his uncle's daughter:
        for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid [was] beautiful and nice to look{cute}; whom Mordecai,
        when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
Est 2:8
        And it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree were heard,
        and when many maidens were assembled at Shushan the palace,
        to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also to the king's house,
        to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
Est 2:9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him;
        and he speedily gave her things for cleaning, with such things as belonged to her,
        and seven maidens [who were] meet to be given her, out of the king's house:
        and he preferred her and her maids to the best [place] of the house of the women.
Est 2:10 Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not show [it].
Est 2:11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house,
        to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.
Est 2:12 Now when every maid's turn had 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 polishes accomplished,
        six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with [other] things for the cleanings of the women).
Est 2:13 Then thus came [every] maiden to the king; whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king's house.
Est 2:14 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, who kept the concubines:
        she came in to the king no more, except that the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
Est 2:15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, had come to go in to the king,
        she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women,
        appointed. And Esther obtained grace in the eyes of all them that looked upon her.

Est 2:16 So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which [is] the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
Est 2:17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and grace in his eyes more than all the virgins;
        so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Est 2:18 Then the king made a great feast to all his princes and his servants,
        Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the hand of the king.
Est 2:19
        And when the virgins were assembled the second time, then Mordecai sat in the King's Gate.
Est 2:20 Esther had not [yet] showed her kindred, nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her:
        for Esther performed the commandment of Mordecai, as when she was brought up with him.
Est 2:21 In those days, while Mordecai sat in the King's Gate, two of the king's chamberlains,
        Bigthan and Teresh, of those who kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
Est 2:22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told [it] to Esther the queen; and Esther spoke to the king [of it] in Mordecai's name.
Est 2:23 And when inquiry was made of the matter, it was discovered;
        therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the Book of the chronicles before the king.

Est 3:1 After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite,
        and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that [were] with him.
Est 3:2 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.
Est 3:3 Then the king's servants who [were] in the King's Gate, said to Mordecai, Why do Thou transgress the king's commandment?
Est 3:4
        And it came to pass, when they spoke day by day to him, and he listened not to them, that they told Haman,
        to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he [was] a Jew.
Est 3:5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
Est 3:6 And he scorned to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shown him the people of Mordecai:
        therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were] throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai.
Est 3:7
        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.
Est 3:8 And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of Thy kingdom;
        and their laws [are] diverse from all the peoples; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it [is] not for the king's profit to tolerate them.
Est 3:9 If it shall please the king, let it be written,
        that they may be destroyed: and I shall 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 treasures.
Est 3:10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Est 3:11 And the king said to Haman, The silver [is] given to Thee, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to Thee.
Est 3:12 Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month,
        and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded to the king's satraps,
        and to the governors that [were] over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province, according to the writing of it,
        and [to] every people after their language; in king Ahasuerus' name was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

Est 3:13 And the letters were sent by couriers 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,
        upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which [is] the month Adar, and [to take] the spoil of them for a prey.
Est 3:14 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
Est 3:15 The couriers departed, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace.
        And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.

Est 4:1 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes,
        and went out into the middle of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
Est 4:2 and came even before the King's Gate: for none [might] enter into the King's Gate clothed with sackcloth.
Est 4:3 And in every province wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, [there was] great mourning among the Jews,
        and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Est 4:4 So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told [it] to her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved;
        and she sent clothing to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received [it] not.
Est 4:5 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].
Est 4:6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai, to the street of the city, which [was] before the King's Gate.
Est 4:7 And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him,
        and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasures for the Jews, to destroy them.
Est 4:8 And he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them,
        to show [it] to Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to charge her that she should go in to the king,
        to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people.
Est 4:9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Est 4:10 And Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment to Mordecai;
Est 4:11 all the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whoever, whether man or woman,
        shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, [there is] one law of his to put [him] to death,
        except him to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live:
        but I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.

Est 4:12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
Est 4:13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther,
        Think not that Thy soul shall escape in the king's house more than all the Jews.
Est 4:14 For if Thou shall altogether hold Thy peace at this time, [then] shall there relief and deliverance arise,
        to the Jews from another place; but Thou and Thy father's house shall be destroyed:
        and who knows, whether Thou have come to the kingdom for [such] a time as this?
Est 4:15 Then Esther bade [them] return Mordecai [this answer],
Est 4:16 Go, assemble all the Jews [that are] present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day:
        I also and my maidens shall fast so; and so shall I go in to the king, which [is] not according to the Law; and if I perish, I perish.
Est 4:17 And Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Est 5:1 And 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,
        opposed to the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, opposed to the gate of the house.
Est 5:2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, [that] she obtained grace in his eyes: 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.
Est 5:3
        Then said the king to her, What will Thou, queen Esther? And what [is] Thy request? It shall be even given Thee to the half of the kingdom.
Est 5:4 And Esther answered, If [it shall seem] good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.
Est 5:5 And the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther has said.
        So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Est 5:6 And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What [is] Thy petition?
        And it shall be granted Thee: and what [is] Thy request?
        Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
Est 5:7 Then answered Esther, and said, my petition and my request [is]:
Est 5:8 if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if it shall please the king to grant my petition,
        and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them,
        and I shall do tomorrow as the king has said.
Est 5:9
        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.
Est 5:10 And Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
Est 5:11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his sons, and all [the things] in which the king had promoted him,
        and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
Est 5:12 And Haman said also, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet,
        that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I [am] invited to her also with the king.
Est 5:13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the King's Gate.
Est 5:14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let gallows be made fifty cubits high,
        and tomorrow speak Thou to the king that Mordecai may be hanged upon it: then go Thou in merrily with the king to the banquet.
        And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

Est 6:1 In that night the king could not sleep, and he commanded to bring the Book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
Est 6:2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had informed of Bigthana and Teresh,
        two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. [Est 2:21-23]
Est 6:3 And the king said, What honour and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this?
        Then said the king's servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him.
Est 6:4
        And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king's house,
        to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Est 6:5 And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Est 6:6 So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?
        Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Est 6:7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour,
Est 6:8 let the royal apparel be brought which the king [uses] to wear, and the horse that the king rides upon, and [provided] with the crown royal placed upon his head:
Est 6:9 and let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most excellent princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honour,
        and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour.
Est 6:10 And the king said to Haman, Make haste, [and] take the apparel and the horse, as Thou have said,
        and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sits at the King's Gate: let nothing fail of all that Thou have spoken.
Est 6:11 Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai,
        and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him,
        Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour.
Est 6:12 And Mordecai came back to the King's Gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
Est 6:13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him,
        If Mordecai [is] of the seed of the Jews, before whom Thou have begun to fall, Thou shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him.
Est 6:14 And while they [were] yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Est 7:1
        So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Est 7:2 And the king said to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine,
        What [is] Thy petition, queen Esther? And it shall be granted Thee: and what [is] Thy request?
        And it shall be performed, to the half of the kingdom.
Est 7:3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found grace in Thy eyes, king,
        and if it shall please the king, let my soul be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
Est 7:4 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 kept silent, although the enemy could not compensate the king's damage.
Est 7:5
        Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said to Esther the queen,
        Who is he, and where is he, whose heart has filled him to do this?
Est 7:6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy [is] this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Est 7:7 And the king arising in his wrath from the banquet of wine,
        [went] into the palace-garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his soul from Esther the queen;
        for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
Est 7:8 Then the king returned out of the palace-garden into the place of the banquet of wine;
        and Haman had fallen upon the bed on which Esther [was]. Then said the king,
        Will he violate the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Est 7:9
        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, stands in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him upon it.
Est 7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

Est 8:1 On that day the king Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, to Esther the queen.
        And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he [was] to her.
Est 8:2 And the king took off his ring which he had taken from Haman,
        and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Est 8:3
        And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet,
        and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite,
        and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
Est 8:4 Then the king held out the golden sceptre towards Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
Est 8:5 and said, If it shall please the king, and if I have found grace in his eyes,
        and the thing [shall seem] right before the king, and I [am] pleasing in his eyes,
        let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite,
        which he wrote to destroy the Jews who [are] in all the king's provinces:
Est 8:6 for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come to my people?
        Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Est 8:7
        Then the king Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew,
        Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
Est 8:8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king's name, and seal [it] with the king's ring:
        for the writing which has been written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, no man may reverse.
Est 8:9 Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that [is], the month Sivan,
        on the twenty third [day] of it; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews,
        and to the satraps, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which [are] from India to Cush,
        a hundred twenty seven provinces, to every province according to the writing of it,
        and to every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
Est 8:10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed [it] with the king's ring,
        and sent letters by couriers on horseback, [and] riders on mules, camels, [and] young dromedaries:
Est 8:11 in which the king granted the Jews who [were] in every city to assemble, and to stand for their soul, 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,
Est 8:12 upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, [namely], upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which [is] the month Adar,
Est 8:13 the copy of the writing for a commandment, to be given in every province [was] published to all the peoples,
        and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Est 8:14 [So] the couriers that rode upon mules [and] camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment.
        And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
Est 8:15
        And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white,
        and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple:
        and the city of Shushan rejoiced, and was glad:
Est 8:16 the Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
Est 8:17 And in every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came,
        the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day.
        And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

Est 9:1 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).
Est 9:2 The Jews assembled 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 the peoples.
Est 9:3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the satraps, and the deputies, and officers of the king helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
Est 9:4 For Mordecai [was] great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai became greater and greater.

Est 9:5 And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.
Est 9:6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
Est 9:7 {Haman's sons}.
        And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Est 9:8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Est 9:9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
Est 9:10
        the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, they slew; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
Est 9:11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
Est 9:12
        And the king said to Esther the queen, the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace,
        and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces?
        Now what [is] Thy petition? And it shall be granted Thee: or what [is] Thy request further? And it shall be done.
Est 9:13 Then said Esther, If it shall please the king, let it be granted to the Jews who [are] in Shushan,
        to do tomorrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
Est 9:14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
Est 9:15 For the Jews that [were] in Shushan assembled 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.
Est 9:16 But the other Jews that [were] in the king's provinces assembled, and stood for their souls,
        and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy five thousand, (but they laid not their hands on the prey).
Est 9:17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Est 9:18 But the Jews that [were] at Shushan assembled on the thirteenth [day] of the month,
        and on the fourteenth of it: and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Est 9:19 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.

Est 9:20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that [were] in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, [both] near and far,
Est 9:21 to establish [this] among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
Est 9:22 as the days in which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to joy,
        and from mourning into a good day, that they should make them days of feasting and joy,
        and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
Est 9:23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them.
Est 9:24
        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;
Est 9:25 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.
Est 9:26 Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur{lot}.
        Therefore for all the words of this letter, and [of that] which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come to them,
Est 9:27 the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed,
        and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days,
        according to their writing, and according to their [appointed] time every year;
Est 9:28 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.

Est 9:29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Est 9:30 And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of peace and truth,
Est 9:31 to confirm these days of Purim in their times [appointed], according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them,
        and as they had decreed for their souls and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
Est 9:32 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the Book.

Est 10:1 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and [upon] the isles of the sea.
Est 10:2 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai,
         to which the king advanced him,
         [are] they not written in the Book of the chronicles of the kings of [the] Medes and Persia?
Est 10:3 For Mordecai the Jew [was] next to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews,
        and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, seeking good for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.

Dan 1:1 [Scroll 20 Daniel].
        In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah,
        came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Dan 1:2 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.
Dan 1:3 And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs,
        that he should bring [some] of the sons of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the nobles;
Dan 1:4 children in whom [was] no blemish, but of good appearance,
        and skilful in all wisdom, and intelligent 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 language of the Chaldeans.
Dan 1:5 And the king appointed them a daily portion of the king's provision, and of the wine which he drank:
        so nourishing them three years, that at the end of them they might stand before the king.
Dan 1:6
        Now among these were of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Dan 1:7 to whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names:
        for he gave to Daniel, Belteshazzar;
        and to Hananiah, Shadrach;
        and to Mishael, Meshach;
        and to Azariah, Abed-nego.
Dan 1:8
        But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's provision, nor with the wine which he drank:
        therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Dan 1:9 Now GOD had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
Dan 1:10 And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel,
        I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your provision and your drink:
        for why should he see your faces more meagre than the children who [are] of your group?
        Then shall ye make me endanger My head to the king.
Dan 1:11 Then said Daniel to the steward, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Dan 1:12 Prove Thy servants, I beseech Thee, ten days; and let them give us legumes to eat, and water to drink.
Dan 1:13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before Thee,
        and the countenances of the children that eat of the portion of the king's provision: and as Thou see, deal with Thy servants.
Dan 1:14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
Dan 1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children who ate the portion of the king's provision.
Dan 1:16 And the steward took away the portion of their provision, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them legumes.

Dan 1:17 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.
Dan 1:18 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.
Dan 1:19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore they stood before the king.
Dan 1:20 And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that the king inquired of them,
        he found them ten hands{times} superior to all the magicians [and] astrologers that [were] in all his realm.
Dan 1:21 And Daniel continued to the first year of king Cyrus.

Dan 2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams,
        with which his spirit was troubled, and his sleep broke from him.
Dan 2:2
        Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to show the king his dream.
        So they came and stood before the king.
Dan 2:3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
Dan 2:4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, {Aramaic}.
        King, live forever: tell Thy servants the dream, and we shall show the interpretation.
Dan 2:5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me:
        if ye shall not make known to me the dream, with the interpretation of it,
        ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
Dan 2:6 But if ye shall show the dream, and the interpretation of it,
        ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour:
        therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation of it.
Dan 2:7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we shall show the interpretation of it.
Dan 2:8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
Dan 2:9 But if ye shall not make known to me the dream,
        [there is] one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me,
        until the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation of it.
Dan 2:10 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] has asked such things of any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
Dan 2:11 And [it is] a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

Dan 2:12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.
Dan 2:13 And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
Dan 2:14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, who had gone forth to slay the wise [men] of Babylon:
Dan 2:15 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.
Dan 2:16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.
Dan 2:17
        Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
Dan 2:18 that they would desire mercies of the God of Heaven concerning this secret;
        that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise [men] of Babylon.
Dan 2:19 Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a night vision.
        Then Daniel blessed the God of Heaven.
Dan 2:20 Daniel answered and said,
        {Praise from Daniel}.
        Be Blessed the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are His!
Dan 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons;
        He removes kings, and sets up kings;
        He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
Dan 2:22 He reveals the deep and secret things:
        He knows what [is] in the darkness, and the Light dwells with Him.
Dan 2:23 I thank Thee, and praise Thee, Thou God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might,
        and have made known to me now what we desired of Thee: for Thou have [now] made known to us the king's matter.
Dan 2:24
        Therefore Daniel went into Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise [men] of Babylon:
        he went and said thus to him; Destroy not the wise [men] of Babylon:
        bring me in before the king, and I shall show to the king the interpretation.
Dan 2:25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him,
        I have found a man of the captives of Judea, that shall make known to the king the interpretation.
Dan 2:26
        The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar,
        Are Thou able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it?
Dan 2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king,
        and said, The secret which the king has demanded, the wise [men], the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, cannot show to the king;
Dan 2:28 but there is a God in Heaven that reveals secrets, and makes 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;
Dan 2:29 as for Thee, king, Thy thoughts came [into Thy mind] upon Thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter:
        and he who reveals secrets makes known to Thee what shall be.
Dan 2:30 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 may know the thoughts of Thy heart.
Dan 2:31 {Statue of the empires}.
        Thou, king, saw, and behold a great image.
        This great image, whose brightness [was] excellent,
        stood before Thee; and its form [was] terrible.
Dan 2:32 <The head of this image [was] of fine gold,
        his breast and his arms of silver,
        his belly and his thighs of bronze>,
Dan 2:33 <his legs of iron,
        his feet part of iron and part of clay>.
Dan 2:34 Thou saw until a stone was cut out without hands,
        which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.
Dan 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together,
        and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away,
        that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great Mount,
        and filled all the Earth.
Dan 2:36
        This [is] the dream; and we shall tell the interpretation of it before the king.
Dan 2:37 Thou, king, [are] a king of kings: for the God of Heaven has given Thee a kingdom,
        power, and strength, and glory.
Dan 2:38 And wherever the sons of men dwell, the <beasts of the field> and the fowls of the air,
        has He given into Thy hand, and has made Thee ruler over them all.
        <Thou> [are] this <head of gold>.
Dan 2:39 And after Thee <shall arise another kingdom>{silver} inferior to Thee,
        and another <third kingdom of bronze>, which shall bear rule over all the Earth.
Dan 2:40 And the <fourth kingdom> shall be strong as <iron>{Roman Empire}:
        forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all:
        and as iron that breaks all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
Dan 2:41 And whereas Thou saw the feet and toes, <part of potter's 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 saw the iron mixed with the miry clay.
Dan 2:42 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>.
Dan 2:43 And whereas Thou saw 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.
Dan 2:44 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 forever>.
Dan 2:45 Forasmuch as Thou saw that <the stone was cut out of the mountain,
        without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold>;
        the great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter:
        and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation of it sure.
Dan 2:46
        Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshiped Daniel,
        and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours to him.
Dan 2:47 The king answered to 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 could reveal this secret.
Dan 2:48
        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 prefects over all the wise [men] of Babylon.
Dan 2:49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon:
        but Daniel [sat] in the gate of the king.

Dan 3:1 {The fiery furnace}.
        Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height [was] sixty cubits,
        [and] the breadth of it six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Dan 3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to convene the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces,
        to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Dan 3:3 Then the satraps, the prefects, and governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces,
        were assembled to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up;
        and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Dan 3:4 Then a herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, people, nations, and tongues,
Dan 3:5 [that] at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sambuke, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music,
        ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
Dan 3:6 And whoever shall not fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sambuke, psaltery, and all kinds of music,
        all the people, the nations, and the tongues, fell down [and] worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Dan 3:8
        Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
Dan 3:9 They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, King, live forever.
Dan 3:10 Thou, king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sambuke, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music,
        shall fall down and worship the golden image:
Dan 3:11 and whoever shall not fall down and worship, [that] he shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:12 There are some Jews whom Thou have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, king,
        have not regarded Thee: they serve not Thy gods, nor worship the golden image which Thou have set up.
Dan 3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in [his] rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.
Dan 3:14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said to them, [Is it] true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do ye not serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Dan 3:15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sambuke, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music,
        ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; [well]: but if ye worship not,
        ye shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace; and who [is] that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Dan 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer Thee in this matter.
Dan 3:17 If it is [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he shall deliver [us] out of Thy hand, king.
Dan 3:18 But if not, be it known to Thee, king, that we shall not serve Thy gods, nor worship the golden image which Thou have set up.
Dan 3:19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego:
        [therefore] he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
Dan 3:20 And he commanded the most mighty men that [were] in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, [and] to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their breeches, and their hats, and their [other] garments, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot,
        the flame of the fire killed those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
Dan 3:23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, [and] spoke, and said to his counsellors,
        Did we not cast three men bound into the middle of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, king.
Dan 3:25 He answered and said,
        Behold, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they have no hurt: and the form of the fourth is like a Son of God.
Dan 3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, [and] spoke,
        and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the God Most High,
        come forth, and come [here]. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth from the middle of the fire.
Dan 3:27 And the satraps, prefects, and governors, and the king's counsellors, being assembled, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power,
        nor was a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor had the smell of fire passed upon them.
Dan 3:28
        Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said,
        Blessed [be] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
        who has sent His Angel, and delivered His servants that trusted in Him,
        and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies,
        that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God!
Dan 3:29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and tongue,
        which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
        shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill:
        because there is no other god that can deliver after this sort.
Dan 3:30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
Dan 4:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues,
        that dwell in all the Earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
Dan 4:2 I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the High God has wrought towards me.
Dan 4:3 How great [are] His signs! And how mighty [are] His wonders!
        His Kingdom [is] an everlasting Kingdom, and His dominion [is] from generation to generation.

Dan 4:4 I, Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:
Dan 4:5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Dan 4:6 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise [men] of Babylon before me,
        that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
Dan 4:7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers:
        and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation of it.
Dan 4:8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god,
        and in whom [is] the spirit of the Holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],
Dan 4:9 Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the Holy gods [is] in Thee,
        and no secret troubles Thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation of it.
Dan 4:10 {The tree of Babylon}.
        Thus [were] the visions of my head in my bed;
        I saw, and behold, a tree in the middle of the Earth,
        and its height [was] great.
Dan 4:11 The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to Heaven,
        and the sight of it to the end of all the Earth:
Dan 4:12 its leaves [were] fair, and its fruit abundant,
        and in it [was] food for all:
        the beasts of the field had shade under it,
        and the fowls of the air dwelt among its boughs,
        and all flesh was fed from it.
Dan 4:13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed,
        and behold, a watcher and a Holy [One] came down from Heaven;
Dan 4:14 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches,
        shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit:
        let the beasts escape from under it,
        and the fowls from its branches.
Dan 4:15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the Earth,
        even with a band of iron and bronze,
        in the tender grass of the field;
        and let it be wet with the dew of Heaven,
        and [let] its portion [be] with the beasts in the grass of the Earth.
Dan 4:16 Let his heart be changed from man's,
        and let a beast's heart be given to him;
        and let seven times pass over him.
Dan 4:17 This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers,
        and the demand by the word of the Holy ones{Saints}:
        to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
        and gives it to whomsoever He will, and sets up over it the basest of men.
Dan 4:18
        This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen.
        Now Thou, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation,
        forasmuch as all the wise [men] of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation:
        but Thou [are] able; for the spirit of the Holy gods [is] in Thee.
Dan 4:19 Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him.
        The king spoke, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation of it, trouble Thee.
        Belteshazzar answered and said, my lord, the dream [be] to them that hate Thee,
        and the interpretation of it to Thy enemies.
Dan 4:20
        The tree that Thou saw, which grew, and was strong,
        whose height reached to the Heaven, and the sight of it to all the Earth;
Dan 4:21 whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit of it abundant, and in it [was] food for all;
        under which the <beasts of the field> dwelt,
        and upon whose branches the fowls of the air had their habitation:
Dan 4:22 it [is] Thou, king, that are grown and become strong:
        for Thy greatness is grown, and reaches to Heaven, and Thy dominion to the end of the Earth.
Dan 4:23 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 its roots in the Earth,
        even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field;
        and let it be wet with the dew of Heaven, and [let] its portion [be] with the beasts of the field,
        until seven times shall pass over him.
Dan 4:24
        This [is] the interpretation, king, and this [is] the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
Dan 4:25 that they shall drive Thee from men, and Thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field,
        and they shall make Thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet Thee with the dew of Heaven,
        and seven times shall pass over Thee,
        until Thou shall know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
        and gives it to whomsoever He will.
Dan 4:26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots;
        Thy kingdom shall be sure to Thee, after that Thou shall have known that the Heavens do rule.
Dan 4:27 So, king, let my counsel be acceptable to Thee, and break off Thy sins by righteousness,
        and Thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of Thy tranquillity.
Dan 4:28
        All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
Dan 4:29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
Dan 4:30 The king spoke, and said,
        Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the House of the kingdom,
        by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
Dan 4:31 While the word [was] in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from Heaven,
        [saying], king Nebuchadnezzar, to Thee it is spoken; The kingdom has departed from Thee.
Dan 4:32 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 shall know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
        and gives it to whomsoever He will.
Dan 4:33 In that hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar:
        and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen,
        and his body was wet with the dew of Heaven,
        until his hairs were grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like fowls' [claws].
Dan 4:34 And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to Heaven,
        and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High,
        and I praised and honoured Him that living forever,
        whose dominion [is] an everlasting dominion,
        and His kingdom [is] from generation to generation:
Dan 4:35 and all the inhabitants of the Earth [are] reputed as nothing:
        and He does according to His will in the army of Heaven,
        and [among] the inhabitants of the Earth:
        and none can stay His hand, or say to Him, What do Thou?
Dan 4:36 At the same time my reason returned to me;
        and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and brightness returned to me;
        and my counsellors and my lords sought to me;
        and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.
Dan 4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of Heaven,
        all whose works [are] truth, and His ways judgment:
        and those that walk in pride He is able to abase.

Dan 5:1 {Writing on the wall}.
        Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Dan 5:2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels,
        which his father{grandfather} Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the Temple which [was] in Jerusalem;
        that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink in them.
Dan 5:3 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.
Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods{demons} of gold, and of silver, of copper, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Dan 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand,
        and wrote opposed to the lampstand upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace:
        and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Dan 5:6 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.
Dan 5:7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers.
        The king spoke and said to the wise [men] of Babylon,
        Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation of it,
        shall be clothed with purple, and [have] a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Dan 5:8 Then came in all the king's wise [men]: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation of it.
Dan 5:9 Then was the king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonished.
Dan 5:10
        The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords,
        came into the banquet house: [and] the queen spoke and said,
        King, live forever: let not Thy thoughts trouble Thee, nor let Thy countenance be changed:
Dan 5:11 there is a man in Thy kingdom, in whom [is] the spirit of the Holy gods;
        and in the days of Thy father{grandfather} light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods,
        was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar Thy father{grandfather}, the king,
        [I say], Thy father{grandfather}, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers;
Dan 5:12 forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, the 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 shall show the interpretation.
Dan 5:13
        Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel,
        [Are] Thou that Daniel, who [are] of the sons of the captivity of Judea,
        whom the king my father brought out of Judea?
Dan 5:14 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.
Dan 5:15 And now the wise [men], the astrologers, have been brought in before me,
        that they should read this writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it,
        but they could not show the interpretation of the thing:
Dan 5:16 and I have heard of Thee, that Thou can make interpretations, and dissolve doubts:
        now if Thou can read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation of it,
        Thou shall be clothed with purple, and [have] a chain of gold about Thy neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Dan 5:17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let Thy gifts be to thyself, and give Thy rewards to another;
        yet I shall read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Dan 5:18
        Thou king, the God Most High gave Nebuchadnezzar Thy father{grandfather} a kingdom,
        and majesty, and glory, and honour:
Dan 5:19 and for the majesty that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and tongues,
        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.
Dan 5:20 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:
Dan 5:21 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;
        until he knew that the God Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
        and [that] he appoints over it whomsoever He will.
Dan 5:22
        And Thou his son{grandson}, Belshazzar, have not humbled Thy heart, though Thou knew all this;
Dan 5:23 but have lifted up thyself against the Lord of Heaven;
        and they have brought the vessels of His House before Thee, [Dan 5:2]
        and Thou, and Thy lords, Thy wives, and Thy concubines, have drank wine in them;
        and Thou have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, and of stone, and of wood:
        which see not, nor hear, nor know:
        and the God in whose hand Thy breath [is], and whose [are] all Thy ways, Thou have not glorified. [Rev 9:20]
Dan 5:24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Dan 5:25 And this [is] the writing that was written,
        <MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN>.
Dan 5:26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing:
        MENE; God has numbered Thy kingdom, and finished it.
Dan 5:27 TEKEL; Thou are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
Dan 5:28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Dan 5:29
        Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, 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.
Dan 5:30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Dan 5:31 And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, [being] about sixty two years old.

Dan 6:1 {Daniel in the lions' den}.
        It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred twenty satraps, who should be over the whole kingdom;
Dan 6:2 and over these three presidents; of whom Daniel [was] first: that the satraps might give accounts to them, and the king should have no damage.
Dan 6:3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and satraps,
        because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Dan 6:4
        Then the presidents and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault;
        forasmuch as he [was] faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
Dan 6:5 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.
Dan 6:6
        Then these presidents and princes assembled to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live forever.
Dan 6:7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the princes,
        the counsellors, and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute,
        and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days,
        except of Thee, king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Dan 6:8 Now, king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed,
        according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which alters not.
Dan 6:9
        Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Dan 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house;
        and his windows being open in his chamber towards Jerusalem,
        he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed,
        and praised before his God, as he did before.
Dan 6:11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Dan 6:12 Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree;
        Have Thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [a petition] of any god or man within thirty days,
        except of Thee, 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 alters not.
Dan 6:13
        Then they answered and said before the king, that Daniel, who [is] of the sons of the captivity of Judea, regards not Thee, king,
        nor the decree that Thou have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.
Dan 6:14 Then the king, when he heard [these] words, was much displeased with himself,
        and set [his] heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured until the setting of the sun to deliver him.
Dan 6:15 Then these men assembled to the king, and said to the king,
        Know, king, that the law of the Medes and Persians [is] that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.
Dan 6:16
        Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions.
        The king spoke and said to Daniel,
        Thy God whom Thou serve continually, He shall deliver Thee.
Dan 6:17 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.
Dan 6:18 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.
Dan 6:19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
Dan 6:20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel. The king spoke and said to Daniel,
        Daniel, servant of the Living God, is Thy God, whom Thou serve continually, able to deliver Thee from the lions?
Dan 6:21
        Then said Daniel to the king, King, live forever.
Dan 6:22 My God has sent His Angel, and has shut the mouths of the lions, that they have not hurt me:
        forasmuch as before Him innocence was found in me; and also before Thee, king, have I done no hurt.
Dan 6:23 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.
Dan 6:24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel,
        and they cast [them] into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them,
        and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.
Dan 6:25
        Then king Darius wrote to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the Earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
Dan 6:26 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 forever,
        and His Kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion [shall be] until the end.
Dan 6:27 He delivers and rescues, and He works signs and wonders in Heaven and on Earth,
        who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
Dan 6:28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Dan 7:1 {The 4 beasts and the Son of Man}.
        In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed:
        then he wrote the dream, [and] told the head-sum of the matters.
Dan 7:2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night,
        and behold, the four winds of Heavens strove upon the Great Sea.
Dan 7:3 Four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Dan 7:4 The first [was] like a <lion>, [Rev 13:2]
        and had eagles' wings: I beheld until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the Earth,
        and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Dan 7:5 And behold, another beast, a second, like a <bear>, [Rev 13:2]
        and it raised itself on one side,
        and [it had] three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it:
        and they said thus to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Dan 7:6 After this I beheld, and behold another, like a <leopard>, [Rev 13:2]
        which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl;
        the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Dan 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a <fourth beast>,
        dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great <iron teeth>:
        it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet:
        and it [was] diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it; and it had <ten horns>.
Dan 7:8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn,
        before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots:
        and behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Dan 7:9
        I beheld until the thrones were overthrown, and the Ancient of Days did sit,
        whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: [Rev 1:14]
        His throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] His wheels [as] burning fire. [Eze 10:2]
Dan 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him:
        thousands of thousands ministered to him, and myriads of myriads stood before Him: [Rev 5:11]
        the judgment was set and the books were opened. [Rev 20:12]
Dan 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke:
        I beheld until the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. [Rev 19:20]
Dan 7:12 As concerning the rest of the beasts,
        they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, [One] like the <Son of Man> came with the <clouds> of Heaven, [Mar 13:26]
        and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.
Dan 7:14 And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and tongues,
        should serve Him: His dominion [is] an everlasting dominion,
        which shall not pass away, and His Kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.
Dan 7:15
        I, Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the middle of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Dan 7:16 I came near to one of them that stood by, and asked Him the truth of all this.
        So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
Dan 7:17 <These great beasts>, which are four, [are] <four kings>, [which] shall arise out of the Earth.
Dan 7:18 <But the Saints of the Most High shall take the Kingdom>,
        <and possess the Kingdom forever, even forever and ever>. [1Co 6:2 Rev 5:10]
Dan 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast{Roman Empire},
        which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful,
        whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails of bronze; [which] devoured,
        broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Dan 7:20 and of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and of the other which came up,
        and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes,
        and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look [was] more stout than his fellows.
Dan 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn <made war with the Saints>, and prevailed against them; [Rev 13:7]
Dan 7:22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the Saints of the Most High;
        and the time came that the Saints possessed the Kingdom.
Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon Earth,
        which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour all the Earth,
        and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Dan 7:24 And the <ten horns> out of this kingdom [are] <ten kings> [that] shall arise: [Rev 12:3 Rev 17:12]
        and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first,
        and he shall subdue three kings. [Dan 7:8]
Dan 7:25
        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 half a time {three and a half years}>. [Dan 12:7 Rev 12:14]
Dan 7:26 <But the judgment> shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion to consume and to <destroy [it] to the end>.
Dan 7:27 <And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole Heaven>,
        <shall be given to the people of the Saints of the Most High>,
        whose kingdom [is] an Everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.
Dan 7:28
        Until now [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me,
        and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

Dan 8:1 {Hebrew}.
        In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, [even to] me, Daniel,
        after that which appeared to me at the first.
Dan 8:2 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;
        {The ram and he-goat}.
        And I saw in a vision, and I have been by the river Ulai.
Dan 8:3 Then I lifted up my eyes, and I 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.
Dan 8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward;
        so that no animals 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.
Dan 8:5 And as I have been considering, behold,
        a he-goat came from the west upon the face of all the Earth,
        and touched not the ground: and the goat [had] a notable horn between his eyes.
Dan 8:6 And he came to the ram that had [two] horns,
        which I had seen standing before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power.
Dan 8:7 And I saw him come close to the ram, and he became enraged against him,
        and smote the ram, and broke his <two horns>: [Dan 8:20]
        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.
Dan 8:8 Therefore the he-goat became very great:
        and when he was strong, the great horn was broken;
        and in its stead came up four notable ones towards the four winds of Heavens.
Dan 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great,
        towards the south, and towards the east, and towards the glorious [land].
Dan 8:10 And it grew great, to the Army of Heaven; and it cast down,
        [some] of the army and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Dan 8:11 And he magnified [himself] even to the Prince of the army,
        and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of His Sanctuary was cast down.
Dan 8:12 And a army was given [him] against the daily [sacrifice] by reason of transgression,
        and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered.
Dan 8:13 Then I heard one Saint speaking, and another Saint said to that certain who spoke,
        Until when [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation,
        to give both the Sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot?
Dan 8:14 And he said to him, <Until two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings>; and [then] shall the <Sanctuary be justified{cleansed}>.
Dan 8:15
        And it came to pass, when I, [even] I, Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for understanding,
        then behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Dan 8:16 And I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] Ulai,
        which called, and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to understand the vision.
Dan 8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face:
        but he said to me, Understand, Son of Man: for at the <End Time> [shall be] the vision.
Dan 8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face towards the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
Dan 8:19 And he said, Behold, I shall make Thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for the appointed End Time [shall be].
Dan 8:20
        The ram which Thou saw having [two] <horns> [are] the <kings of [the] Medes and Persia>. [Dan 8:6-7]
Dan 8:21 And the rough [he-]<goat> [is] the <king of Javan{Greece}>: and the great <horn> that [is] between his eyes [is] the <first king>{Alexander the Great}.
Dan 8:22 Now that <being broken, whereas four stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation>{Seleucid Empire}, but not in his power.
Dan 8:23 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.
Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully,
        and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the Holy people{Saints}.
Dan 8:25 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.
Dan 8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told [is] true: therefore shut Thou up the vision; for it [shall be] for many days.
Dan 8:27 And I, Daniel fainted, and was sick [for] days; afterward I rose, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood [it].

Dan 9:1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus,
        of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans.
Dan 9:2 In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel understood by books the number of the years,
        concerning which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet,
        that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. [Jer 25:11]
Dan 9:3 {Prayer of Daniel}.
        (And I set my face to the LORD GOD, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
Dan 9:4 And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said),
        Oh Lord, the great and tremendous God,
        keeping the Covenant and mercy to them that loving Him,
        and to them that keep His Commandments;
Dan 9:5 we have sinned, and have committed iniquity,
        and have done wickedly, and have rebelled,
        even by departing from Thy Commandments and from Thy Judgments:
Dan 9:6 neither have we listened to Thy servants the prophets,
        who spoke in Thy name to our kings, our princes,
        and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Dan 9:7 Lord, righteousness [belongs] to Thee,
        but to us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah,
        and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel,
        [that are] near, and [that are] far off, through all the countries where Thou have driven them,
        because of their trespass that they have trespassed against Thee.
Dan 9:8 Lord, to us [belongs] confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes,
        and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.
Dan 9:9 To the LORD our God [belong] mercies and forgivenesses,
        for we have rebelled against Him;
Dan 9:10 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.
Dan 9:11 And all Israel have transgressed Thy Law, even by departing, that they might not obey Thy voice;
        therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that [is] written in the Law of Moses the servant of GOD,
        because we have sinned against Him.
Dan 9:12 And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us,
        and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil:
        for under the whole Heaven it has not been done as it has been done upon Jerusalem.
Dan 9:13 As [it is] written in the Law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us:
        yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God,
        that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand Thy truth.
Dan 9:14 Therefore has the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us:
        for the LORD our God [is] righteous in all His works which He does: for we have not obeyed His voice.
Dan 9:15 And now, LORD our God, that have brought Thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand,
        and have obtained Thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
Dan 9:16 Lord, according to all Thy righteousness,
        I beseech Thee, let Thy anger and Thy fury be turned away from Thy city Jerusalem,
        Thy Holy Mount: because for our sins and for the iniquities of our fathers,
        Jerusalem and Thy people [have become] a reproach to all [that are] about us.
Dan 9:17 And now, 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.
Dan 9:18 My God, incline Thy ear, and hear; open Thy eyes,
        and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by Thy name:
        for we do not present our supplications before Thee for our righteousnesses, but for Thy great mercies.
Dan 9:19 Lord, hear; Lord, forgive; Lord, listen and do; defer not, for Thy own sake,
        my God: for Thy city and Thy people are called by Thy name.
Dan 9:20
        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 Mount of my God;
Dan 9:21 yes, 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.
Dan 9:22 And he informed me, and talked with me,
        and said, Daniel, I [am] now come forth to give Thee skill and understanding.
Dan 9:23 At the beginning of Thy supplications the Commandment came forth, and I [am] come to show [Thee];
        for Thou [are] greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Dan 9:24
        <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{atonement} for iniquity,
        and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.
Dan 9:25 {Prophecy of Seventy weeks}.
        Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the Commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem,
        to [the] Anointed a prince [shall be] seven weeks{49 years}; and sixty two weeks{434 years}:
        the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Dan 9:26 And <after the sixty two weeks shall [the] Messiah be cut off>, but not for Himself:
        and the <people of the prince>{Titus}<that shall come shall destroy the city and the Sanctuary>; and its end [shall be] with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined.
Dan 9:27 <And he shall confirm a Covenant with many for one week>: and <in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,
        and for the overspreading of Abomination of Desolation>, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. [Dan 11:31 Dan 12:11 Dan 11:36-42 Mat 24:15 Mar 13:14]

Dan 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar;
        and the thing [was] true, but the time appointed [was] long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
Dan 10:2 In those days I, Daniel have been mourning three full weeks.
Dan 10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Dan 10:4 And in the twenty fourth day of the first month, as I have been by the side of the great river, which [is] Hiddekel;
Dan 10:5 then I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold a certain Man clothed in linen,
        whose loins [were] girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
Dan 10:6 His body also [was] like the chrysolite,
        His face as the appearance of lightning,
        His eyes as lamps of fire,
        His arms and His feet like in colour to burnished bronze,
        and the voice of His words like the voice of a multitude.
Dan 10:7
        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.
Dan 10:8 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.
Dan 10:9 Yet I heard the voice of His words: and when I heard the voice of His words,
        then I have been in a deep sleep on my face, and my face towards the ground.
Dan 10:10 And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and [upon] the palms of my hands.
Dan 10:11 And he said to me, Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to Thee, and stand upright:
        for to Thee I [am] now sent. And when He had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Dan 10:12 And He said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that Thou did set Thy heart to understand,
        and to chasten thyself before Thy God, Thy words were heard, and I [am] come for Thy words.
Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty one days:
        but behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Dan 10:14 Now I have come to make Thee understand what shall befall Thy people in the Latter Days: for yet the vision [is] for many days.
Dan 10:15 And when He had spoken such words to me, I set my face towards the ground, and I became dumb.
Dan 10:16 And behold, [one] like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips:
        then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me,
        my Lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
Dan 10:17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord?
        For as for me, now there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
Dan 10:18 Then there came again and touched me [one] like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Dan 10:19 and said, man greatly beloved, fear not: peace [be] to Thee,
        be strong, yes, be strong. And when he had spoken to me,
        I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for Thou have strengthened me.
Dan 10:20 Then said he, Know Thou for what cause I come to Thee?
        And now shall I return to fight with the prince of Persia:
        and when I [am] gone forth, behold, the prince of Javan{Greece} shall come.
Dan 10:21 But I shall show Thee that which is noted in the Scripture of Truth:
        and [there is] not one that holds with me in these [things], but Michael your prince.

Dan 11:1 {The kings of the North and the South}.
        Also I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
Dan 11:2 And now shall 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 Javan{Greece}.
Dan 11:3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Dan 11:4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken,
        and shall be divided towards the four winds of Heavens;
        and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled:
        for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
Dan 11:5 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.
Dan 11:6 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 who begot her, and he who strengthened her in [these] times.
Dan 11:7 But out of a branch of her roots shall [one] stand up in his estate, who shall come with an army,
        and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the North, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
Dan 11:8 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.
Dan 11:9 So the king of the South shall come into [his] kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
Dan 11:10 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, to his fortress.
Dan 11:11 And the king of the South shall be enraged, and shall come forth and fight with him,
        with the king of the North: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
Dan 11:12 When he has taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up;
        and he shall cast down myriad: but he shall not be strengthened [by it].
Dan 11:13 For the king of the North shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former,
        and shall certainly come after some years with a great army and with much riches.
Dan 11:14 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.
Dan 11:15 So the king of the North shall come, and cast a mound, and take the most fortified cities:
        and the arms of the South shall not withstand,
        neither his chosen people, neither [shall there be any] strength to withstand.
Dan 11:16 But he who comes 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.
Dan 11:17 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.
Dan 11:18 After this shall he turn his face to the isles, and shall take many:
        but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease;
        without his own reproach he shall cause [it] to turn upon him.
Dan 11:19 Then he shall turn his face towards the fort of his own land:
        but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
Dan 11:20 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.
Dan 11:21
        And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom:
        but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Dan 11:22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflowed from before him,
        and shall be broken; yes, also the prince of the Covenant{Onias III}.
Dan 11:23 And after the league [made] with him he shall work deceitfully:
        for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a few nations.
Dan 11:24 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:
        and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
Dan 11:25 And he shall stir up his power and his heart{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.
Dan 11:26 And they that feed of the portion of his provision shall destroy him,
        and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
Dan 11:27 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.
Dan 11:28 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 shall return to his own land.
Dan 11:29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come towards the South;
        but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
Dan 11:30 For the ships of Kittim 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 regard with them that forsake the <Holy Covenant>.
Dan 11:31 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 of Desolation>. [Dan 9:27 Dan 12:11 Mat 24:15 Mar 13:14]
Dan 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the Covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries:
        but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].
Dan 11:33 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.
Dan 11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be assisted with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
Dan 11:35 And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make [them] white,
        until the End Time: because [it is] yet for a time appointed.
Dan 11:36
        And the king shall do according to his will;
        and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god,
        and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods,
        and shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished:
        for that which is determined shall be done;
Dan 11:37 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;
Dan 11:38 but in his estate shall he honour the god Mauzzim{fortresses}:
        and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour,
        with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Dan 11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds 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.
Dan 11:40
        And at the End Time 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.
Dan 11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown:
        but these shall <escape out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon>{Jordan kingdom}.
Dan 11:42 And he shall stretch out his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Dan 11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt:
        and the Libyans and the Cushites [shall be] at his steps.
Dan 11:44 But reports 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.
Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the Tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious Holy Mount:
        yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the Great Prince who stands for the sons of Thy people:
        and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was,
        since there was a nation until that same time: and at that time,
        Thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the Book.
Dan 12:2 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.
Dan 12:3 And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse;
        and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
Dan 12:4 But Thou, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the Book,
        until the End Time: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased.
Dan 12:5 And 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.
Dan 12:6 And [one] said to the Man clothed in linen, who [was] upon the waters of the river,
        Until when [shall it be to] the end of these wonders?
Dan 12:7 And I heard the Man clothed in linen, who [was] upon the waters of the river,
        when He held up His right [hand] and His left [hand] to Heaven, and swore by Him that living forever,
        that [it shall be] for a <time, and times, and half a time>; [Dan 7:25 Rev 12:14]
        and when He shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the Holy people{Saints},
        all these [things] shall be finished.
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then I said, my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go Thy way Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed until the End Time.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly:
        and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Dan 12:11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away,
        and to set up the <Abomination of Desolation>, [there shall be] a <thousand two hundred ninety days>. [Dan 9:27 Dan 11:31 Mat 24:15 Mar 13:14]
Dan 12:12 Blessed [is] he who waits, and comes to the <thousand three hundred thirty five days>!
Dan 12:13 But go Thou Thy way until the end: for Thou shall rest, and stand in Thy lot at the end of the days.

Ezr 1:1 [Scroll 21 Ezra and Nehemiah(Ezra)].
        Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished,
        the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia,
        that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,
Ezr 1:2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the World has the LORD, God of Heaven given me;
        and He has charged me to build Him a House in Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah.
Ezr 1:3 Who [is there] among you of all His people? His God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah,
        and build the House of the LORD, God of Israel, (he [is] the GOD), who [is] in Jerusalem.
Ezr 1:4 And whoever remains in any place where he sojourners, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts,
        besides the free-will-offering for the House of GOD that [is] in Jerusalem.
Ezr 1:5 Then arose 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.
Ezr 1:6 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.
Ezr 1:7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the House of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem,
        and had put them in the house of his gods;
Ezr 1:8 even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
Ezr 1:9 And this [is] the number of them: thirty dishes of gold, a thousand dishes of silver, twenty nine knives,
Ezr 1:10 thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second [sort] four hundred ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.
Ezr 1:11 All the vessels of gold and of silver [were] five thousand four hundred.
        All [these] did Sheshbazzar bring with [them of] the captivity that were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.

Ezr 2:1 These [are] the sons of the province that went up out of the captivity,
        of those who had been carried away,
        whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon,
        and came back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his city;
Ezr 2:2 who came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mizpar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah.
        The number of the men of the people of Israel; [Neh 7:7]
Ezr 2:3  The sons of Parosh, two thousand a hundred seventy two.

Ezr 2:38 The sons of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty seven.

Ezr 2:42 The sons of the porters: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater,
         the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, the sons of Shobai, [in] all a hundred thirty nine.
Ezr 2:43
         The Nethinim: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha{Hashupha}, the sons of Tabbaoth,
Ezr 2:44 the sons of Keros, the sons of Siaha, the sons of Padon,
Ezr 2:45 the sons of Lebanah, the sons of Hagabah, the sons of Akkub,
Ezr 2:46 the sons of Hagab, the sons of Shalmai, the sons of Hanan,
Ezr 2:47 the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, the sons of Reaiah,
Ezr 2:48 the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, the sons of Gazzam,
Ezr 2:49 the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, the sons of Besai,
Ezr 2:50 the sons of Asnah, the sons of Mehunim, the sons of Nephusim,
Ezr 2:51 the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur,
Ezr 2:52 the sons of Bazluth, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha,
Ezr 2:53 the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Tamah,
Ezr 2:54 the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha.
Ezr 2:55
         The sons of Solomon's servants: the sons of Sotai, the sons of Sophereth, the sons of Peruda,
Ezr 2:56 the sons of Jaalah, the sons of Darkon, the sons of Giddel,
Ezr 2:57 the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Pochereth of Zebaim, the sons of Ami.

Ezr 2:58 All the Nethinim, and the sons of Solomon's servants, [were] three hundred ninety two.
Ezr 2:59 And these [were] they who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, [and] Immer:
        but they could not show their fathers' house, and their seed, whether they [were] of Israel:
Ezr 2:60 the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, six hundred fifty two.
Ezr 2:61
        And of the sons of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, the sons of Barzillai:
        who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:
Ezr 2:62 these sought their register [among] those that were counted by genealogy,
        but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
Ezr 2:63 And the Tirshatha said to them, that they should not eat of the most Holy [things],
        until there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.
Ezr 2:64 The whole Congregation together [was] four myriad + two thousand three hundred sixty{42360}.
Ezr 2:65
        Besides their man-servants and their maid-servants, of whom [there were] seven thousand three hundred thirty seven:
        and [there were] among them two hundred singing-men and singing-women;
Ezr 2:66 their horses, seven hundred thirty six: their mules, two hundred forty five:
Ezr 2:67 their camels, four hundred thirty five: six thousand seven hundred twenty asses.
Ezr 2:68 And [some] of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the House of the LORD which [is] at Jerusalem,
        offered freely for the House of GOD to set it up in its place:
Ezr 2:69 they gave after their ability to the treasure of the work sixty one thousand drams of gold,
        and five thousand minas of silver, and hundred priests' garments.
Ezr 2:70 So the priests, and the Levites, and [some] of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim,
        dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.

Ezr 3:1 And when the seventh month had come, and the sons of Israel [were] in the cities,
        the people assembled themselves as one man at Jerusalem.
Ezr 3:2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests,
        and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the Altar of the God of Israel,
        to offer burnt-offerings on it as [it is] written in the Law of Moses the man of GOD.
Ezr 3:3 And they set the Altar upon its bases; for fear [was] upon them because of the people of those countries:
        and they offered burnt-offerings on it to the LORD, burnt-offerings morning and evening.
Ezr 3:4 They kept also the Festival 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;
Ezr 3:5 and afterward [offered] the continual burnt-offering, both of the New Moons,
        and of all the set Festivals of the LORD that were consecrated,
        and of every one that willingly offered a free-will-offering to the LORD.
Ezr 3:6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt-offerings to the LORD.
        But the foundation of the Temple of the LORD was not [yet] laid.
Ezr 3:7 They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and provisions, and drink, and oil, to them of Sidon,
        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.

Ezr 3:8 Now in the second year of their coming to the House of GOD at Jerusalem, in the second month,
        began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak,
        and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites,
        and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites,
        from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the House of the LORD.
Ezr 3:9 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.
Ezr 3:10 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.
Ezr 3:11
        And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks to the LORD;
        for [He is] good:
        for His mercy [endures] forever towards Israel.
        And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD,
        for the foundation of the House of the LORD was laid.
Ezr 3:12
        But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, old men, that had seen the first house,
        when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a great voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
Ezr 3:13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of the joy from the noise of the weeping of the people:
        for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

Ezr 4:1 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the sons of the captivity were building the Temple to the LORD, God of Israel;
Ezr 4:2 then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said to them,
        Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye [do]; and we do sacrifice to Him,
        since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.
Ezr 4:3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said to them,
        Ye have nothing to do with us to build a house to our God;
        but we ourselves together shall build to the LORD, God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.
Ezr 4:4 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
Ezr 4:5 and hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezr 4:6 And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote [to him] an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ezr 4:7 And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions to Artaxerxes king of Persia,
        and the writing of the letter [was] written in Aramaic, and translated in Aramaic.
Ezr 4:8 {Aramaic Letter}.
        Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
Ezr 4:9 Then [wrote] Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions;
        the Dianites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, [and] the Elamites,
Ezr 4:10 and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria,
        and the rest [that are] on this side of the river, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:11 This [is] the copy of the letter that they sent to him, to Artaxerxes the king: Thy servants the men on this side of the river, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:12 Be it known to the king, that the Jews who came from Thee to us are come to Jerusalem,
        building the rebellious and the noxious city, and have set up its walls, and joined the foundations.
Ezr 4:13 Be it known now to the king, that if this city shall be built, and the walls set up [again], [then] they shall not pay toll, tribute, and custom,
        and [so] Thou shall damage the revenue of the kings.
Ezr 4:14 Now because we eat the salt of the palace, and it was not good for us to see the king's dishonour,
        therefore have we sent and certified the king;
Ezr 4:15 that search may be made in the Book of the records of Thy fathers: so shall Thou find in the Book of the records,
        and know that this city [is] a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces,
        and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
Ezr 4:16 We certify the king that if this city shall be built [again], and its walls set up, by this means Thou shall have no portion on this side of the river.
Ezr 4:17 The king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and [to] Shimshai the scribe, and [to] the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria,
        and [to] the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
Ezr 4:18
        The letter which ye sent to us has been plainly read before me.
Ezr 4:19 And I commanded, and search has been made, and it is found that this city of old time has made insurrection against kings,
        and [that] rebellion and sedition have been made in it.
Ezr 4:20 There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all [countries] beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid to them.
Ezr 4:21 Give ye now a commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until a commandment shall be given from me.
Ezr 4:22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
Ezr 4:23 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter [was] read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions,
        they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
Ezr 4:24 Then ceased the work of the House of God which [is] at Jerusalem. So it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

Ezr 5:1 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo,
        prophesied to the Jews that [were] in Judea and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, to them.
Ezr 5:2 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.
Ezr 5:3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side of the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions,
        and said thus to them, Who has commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
Ezr 5:4 Then said we to them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?
Ezr 5:5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, until the matter came to Darius:
        and then they returned answer by letter concerning this [matter].
Ezr 5:6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side of the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites,
        who [were] on this side of the river, sent to Darius the king:
Ezr 5:7 they sent a letter to him, in which was written thus; To Darius the king, all peace.
Ezr 5:8 Be it known to the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the House of the great God,
        which is built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls,
        and this work proceeds rapidly, and prospers in their hands.
Ezr 5:9 Then we asked those elders, [and] said to them thus,
        Who commanded you to build this house, and to erect these walls?
Ezr 5:10 We asked their names also, to certify Thee, that we might write the names of the men that [were] the head of them.
Ezr 5:11 And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of Heaven and Earth,
        and build the house that was erected these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and set up.
Ezr 5:12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of Heaven to wrath,
        He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean,
        who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
Ezr 5:13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, [the same] king Cyrus made a decree to build this House of God.
Ezr 5:14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the House of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the Temple that [was] in Jerusalem,
        and brought them into the Temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the Temple of Babylon,
        and they were delivered to [one], whose name [was] Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
Ezr 5:15 and said to him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the Temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and let the House of God be built in its place.
Ezr 5:16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, [and] laid the foundation of the House of God which [is] in Jerusalem:
        and since that time until now has it been in building, and [yet] it is not finished.
Ezr 5:17 And now, if it [seems] good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure-house, which [is] there at Babylon,
        whether it is [so], that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this House of God at Jerusalem,
        and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.

Ezr 6:1 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.
Ezr 6:2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that [is] in the province of the Medes, a roll, and in it [was] a record thus written:
Ezr 6:3
        In the first year of Cyrus the king, [the same] Cyrus the king made a decree [concerning] the House of God at Jerusalem,
        Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices,
        and let the foundations of it be strongly laid; the height of it sixty cubits, [and] the breadth of it sixty cubits;
Ezr 6:4 [with] three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:
Ezr 6:5 and also let the golden and silver vessels of the House of God,
        which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the Temple which [is] at Jerusalem,
        and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought back to the Temple which [is] at Jerusalem,
        [every one] to its place, and place [them] in the House of God.
Ezr 6:6 Now [therefore], Tatnai governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites,
        who [are] beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
Ezr 6:7 let the work of this House of God alone; let the governor of the Jews,
        and the elders of the Jews, build this House of God in its place.
Ezr 6:8 And 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, of the tribute beyond the river,
        immediately expenses be given to these men, that they be not hindered.
Ezr 6:9 And that which they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offerings of the God of Heaven,
        wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests who [are] at Jerusalem,
        let it be given to them day by day without fail:
Ezr 6:10 that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours to the God of Heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Ezr 6:11 Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house,
        and being set up, let him be hanged upon it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Ezr 6:12 And the God that has caused His name to dwell there destroy all kings and people,
        that shall attempt 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.
Ezr 6:13
        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.
Ezr 6:14 And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo.
        And they built, and finished [it], according to the Commandment of the God of Israel,
        and according to the Commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Ezr 6:15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Ezr 6:16 And the sons of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, kept the dedication of this House of God with joy,
Ezr 6:17 and offered at the dedication of this House of God a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel,
        twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Ezr 6:18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God,
        who [is] at Jerusalem; as it has been written in the Book of Moses.
Ezr 6:19
        And the sons of the captivity kept the Passover upon the fourteenth [day] of the first month.
Ezr 6:20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them [were] pure, and [they] killed the Passover for all the sons of the captivity,
        and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Ezr 6:21 And the sons of Israel, who had returned from captivity,
        did eat [the Passover] and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land,
        to seek the LORD, God of Israel,
Ezr 6:22 and kept the Festival of Unleavened [Bread] seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful,
        and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the House of GOD, the God of Israel.

Ezr 7:1 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,
Ezr 7:2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
Ezr 7:3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
Ezr 7:4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
Ezr 7:5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:
Ezr 7:6 this Ezra went 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.
Ezr 7:7 And there went [some] of the sons of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim,
        to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Ezr 7:8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which [was] in the seventh year of the king.
Ezr 7:9 For upon the first [day] of the first month he began to go from Babylon,
        and on the first [day] of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem,
        according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Ezr 7:10 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.
Ezr 7:11 Now this [is] the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe,
        a scribe of the words of the Commandments of the LORD, and of His Statutes to Israel.

Ezr 7:12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, a scribe of the Law of the God of Heaven, perfect [peace], and at such a time.
Ezr 7:13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites,
        in my realm, who are disposed of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with Thee.
Ezr 7:14 Forasmuch as Thou are sent by the king, and by his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judea and Jerusalem,
        according to the Law of Thy God which [is] in Thy hand;
Ezr 7:15 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation [is] in Jerusalem,
Ezr 7:16 and all the silver and gold that Thou can find in all the province of Babylon, with the free-will-offerings of the people, and of the priests,
        offering willingly for the house of their God which [is] in Jerusalem:
Ezr 7:17 that Thou may buy speedily with this silver bulls, rams, lambs, with their food-offerings and their drink-offerings,
        and offer them upon the Altar of the house of your God which [is] in Jerusalem.
Ezr 7:18 And whatever shall seem good to Thee, and to Thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and gold, that do after the will of your God.
Ezr 7:19 The vessels also that are given Thee for the service of the House of Thy God, [those] deliver Thou before the God of Jerusalem.
Ezr 7:20 And whatever more shall be needful for the House of Thy God, which Thou shall have occasion to bestow, bestow [it] out of the king's treasure-house.
Ezr 7:21 And I, [even] I, Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who [are] beyond the river,
        that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of Heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
Ezr 7:22 to a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred cors of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing.
Ezr 7:23 Whatever is commanded by the God of Heaven, let it be diligently done for the House of the God of Heaven:
        for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Ezr 7:24 Also we certify you, that concerning 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.
Ezr 7:25 And Thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of Thy God, that [is] in Thy hand, set magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that [are] beyond the river,
        all such as know the Laws of Thy God; and teach ye them that know [them] not.
Ezr 7:26 And whoever shall not do the Law of Thy God, and the Law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him,
        whether [it be] to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
Ezr 7:27 {Hebrew}.
        Blessed [be] the LORD, God of our fathers, who has put [such a thing] as this in the king's heart, to beautify the House of the LORD which [is] in Jerusalem:
Ezr 7:28 and has extended mercy to me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes!
        And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God [was] upon me, and I assembled out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

Ezr 8:1 These [are] now the chief of their fathers, and [this is] the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
Ezr 8:2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.
Ezr 8:3 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were counted by genealogy of the males a hundred fifty.
Ezr 8:4 Of the sons of Pahath-moab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males.
Ezr 8:5 Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males.
Ezr 8:6 Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.
Ezr 8:7 And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males.
Ezr 8:8 And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him eighty males.
Ezr 8:9 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred eighteen males.
Ezr 8:10 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him a hundred sixty males.
Ezr 8:11 And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty eight males.
Ezr 8:12 And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him a hundred ten males.
Ezr 8:13 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names [are] these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty males.
Ezr 8:14 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.

Ezr 8:15 And I assembled them at the river that runs to Ahava; and there we abode in tents three days:
        and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
Ezr 8:16 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.
Ezr 8:17 And I sent them with a command to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say to Iddo,
        [and] to his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia,
        that they should bring to us ministers for the House of our God.
Ezr 8:18 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;
Ezr 8:19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
Ezr 8:20 also of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites,
        two hundred twenty Nethinim: all of them were expressed by name.

Ezr 8:21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God,
        to seek of Him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
Ezr 8:22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way:
        because we had spoken to the king,
        saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all them for good that seek Him;
        but His power and His wrath [is] against all them that forsake Him.
Ezr 8:23 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and He was entreated by us.
Ezr 8:24 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
Ezr 8:25 and weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, the offering of the House of our God,
        which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel [there] present, had offered:
Ezr 8:26 I even weighed to their hand six hundred fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents, [and] of gold a hundred talents;
Ezr 8:27 also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of orichalcum, precious as gold.
Ezr 8:28
        And I said to them, Ye [are] Holy to the LORD; the vessels [are] also Holy;
        and the silver and the gold [are] a free-will-offering to the LORD, God of your fathers.
Ezr 8:29 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.
Ezr 8:30 So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels,
        to bring [them] to Jerusalem to the House of our God.

Ezr 8:31 Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth [day] of the first month,
        to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us,
        and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
Ezr 8:32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
Ezr 8:33 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;
Ezr 8:34 by number [and] by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.
Ezr 8:35 The sons of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, offered burnt-offerings to the God of Israel,
        twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety six rams, seventy seven lambs, twelve he-goats [for] a sin-offering: all [this was] a burnt-offering to the LORD.
Ezr 8:36 And they delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps, and to the governors on this side of the river:
        and they furthered the people, and the House of GOD.
Ezr 9:1 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, of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Ezr 9:2
        For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the Holy seed have mixed themselves with the people of [those] lands:
        and the hand of the princes and prefects has been chief in this trespass.
Ezr 9:3 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.
Ezr 9:4 Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel,
        because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice.
Ezr 9:5 And at the evening sacrifice I arose from my dejection; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to the LORD my God,
Ezr 9:6 and said, my God, I [am] ashamed and blush to lift up my face to Thee, my God:
        for our iniquities are increased over [our] head, and our trespass is grown up to the Heavens.
Ezr 9:7 Since the days of our fathers [have] we [been] in a great trespass to this day;
        and for our iniquities have we, our kings, [and] our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands,
        to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as [it is] this day.
Ezr 9:8 And now for a little space grace has been [shown] from the LORD our God,
        to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in His Holy place,
        that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
Ezr 9:9 For we [were] bondmen; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage,
        but has extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia,
        to give us a reviving, to set up the House of our God,
        and to repair the desolations of it, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Ezr 9:10 And now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Thy Commandments,
Ezr 9:11 Which Thou have commanded by Thy servants the prophets, saying, The land,
        to 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.
Ezr 9:12
        And now give not your daughters to their sons,
        neither take their daughters to your sons,
        nor seek their peace or their wealth forever:
        that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land,
        and leave [it] for an inheritance to your sons forever.
Ezr 9:13 And after all that has come upon us for our evil works, and for our great trespass,
        seeing that Thou our God have punished us less than our iniquities,
        [deserve], and have given us [such] deliverance as this;
Ezr 9:14 should we again break Thy Commandments,
        and join in affinity with the people of these abominations?
        Would Thou not be angry with us until Thou had consumed [us],
        so that [there should be] no remnant nor escaping?
Ezr 9:15 LORD, God of Israel, Thou [are] righteous:
        for we having escaped, yet remain,
        as [it is] this day: behold, we [are] before Thee in our trespasses:
        for we cannot stand before Thee because of this.
Ezr 10:1 Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed,
        weeping and casting himself down before the House of GOD,
        there assembled to him out of Israel a very great Congregation;
        of men and women and children: for the people wept very bitterly.
Ezr 10:2 Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, [one] of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra,
        We have trespassed against our God, and have taken foreign wives of the people of the land:
        yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
Ezr 10:3 And now 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.
Ezr 10:4 Arise; for [this] matter [belongs] to Thee: we also [shall be] with Thee: be of good courage, and do [it].
Ezr 10:5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel,
        to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.
Ezr 10:6 Then Ezra arose from before the House of GOD,
        and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib:
        and [when] he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water:
        for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
Ezr 10:7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the sons of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem;
Ezr 10:8 and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders,
        all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the Congregation of those that had been carried away.
Ezr 10:9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within three days.
        It [was] the ninth month, and the twentieth [day] of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the House of GOD,
        trembling because of [this] matter, and for the great rain.
Ezr 10:10
        And Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them,
        Ye have transgressed, and have taken foreign wives to increase the trespass of Israel.
Ezr 10:11 And now make confession to the LORD, God of your fathers, and do His will:
        and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the foreign wives.
Ezr 10:12 Then all the Congregation answered and said with a great voice, As Thou have said, so must we do.
Ezr 10:13 But the people [are] many, and [it is] a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand abroad,
        neither [is this] a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
Ezr 10:14 Let now our rulers of all the Congregation stand, and let all them who have taken foreign wives in our cities come at appointed times,
        and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter shall be turned from us.
Ezr 10:15 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.
Ezr 10:16 And the sons of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, [with] certain chief of the fathers,
        after the house of their fathers, and all of them by [their] names, were separated,
        and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Ezr 10:17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
Ezr 10:18 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives:
        [namely], of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Ezr 10:19 And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and [being] guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their trespass.
Ezr 10:20 And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah.
Ezr 10:21 And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.
Ezr 10:22 And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah.
Ezr 10:23 Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (which [is] Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
Ezr 10:24 Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri.
Ezr 10:25 And of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchijah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.
Ezr 10:26 And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah.
Ezr 10:27 And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza.
Ezr 10:28 Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, [and] Athlai.
Ezr 10:29 And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth.
Ezr 10:30 And of the sons of Pahath-moab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh.
Ezr 10:31 And of the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Simeon,
Ezr 10:32 Benjamin, Malluch, [and] Shemariah.
Ezr 10:33 Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, [and] Shimei.
Ezr 10:34 Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel,
Ezr 10:35 Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh,
Ezr 10:36 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,
Ezr 10:37 Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau,
Ezr 10:38 and Bani, and Binnui, Shimei,
Ezr 10:39 and Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,
Ezr 10:40 Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai,
Ezr 10:41 Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,
Ezr 10:42 Shallum, Amariah, [and] Joseph.
Ezr 10:43 Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah.
Ezr 10:44 All these had taken foreign wives: and [some] of them had wives by whom they had sons.

Neh 1:1 [Scroll 21 Ezra-Nehemiah (Nehemiah)].
        The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah.
        And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I have been in Shushan the palace,
Neh 1:2 that Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and [some] men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
Neh 1:3 And they said to me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province [are] in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.
Neh 1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned [for] days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of Heaven,
Neh 1:5 and said, I beseech Thee, LORD, God of Heaven, the great and awesome God, that keeps Covenant and mercy for them that loving Him and observe His Commandments:
Neh 1:6 let Thy ear now be attentive, and Thy eyes open, that Thou may hear the prayer of Thy servant, which I pray before Thee now, day and night, for the sons of Israel Thy servants,
        and confess the sins of the sons of Israel, which we have sinned against Thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
Neh 1:7 We have dealt very corruptly against Thee, and have not kept the Commandments, nor the Statutes, nor the Judgments, which Thou commanded Thy servant Moses.
Neh 1:8 Remember, I beseech Thee, the word that Thou commanded Thy servant Moses,
        saying, [If] ye transgress, I shall scatter you abroad among the nations:
Neh 1:9 but [if] ye turn to Me, and keep My Commandments, and do them; though there were of you driven to the uttermost part of the Heaven,
        [yet] shall I gather them from thence, and shall bring them to the place that I have chosen to set My name there.
Neh 1:10 And these [are] Thy servants and Thy people, whom Thou have redeemed by Thy great power, and by Thy strong hand.
Neh 1:11 Lord, I beseech Thee, let now Thy ear be attentive to the prayer of Thy servant, and to the prayer of Thy servants, who desire to fear Thy name: and prosper, I pray Thee,
        Thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I have been the king's cup-bearer.

Neh 2:1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king,
        [that] wine [was] before him: and I took up the wine, and gave [it] to the king. Now I have been no sad [before] in his presence.
Neh 2:2 And the king said to me,
        Why [is] Thy countenance sad, seeing Thou [are] not sick? This [is] nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was very greatly afraid,
Neh 2:3 and said to the king,
        Let the king live forever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, [lies] waste, and its gates are consumed with fire?
Neh 2:4 And the king said to me,
        For what do Thou make request? And I prayed to the God of Heaven.
Neh 2:5 And I said to the king,
        If it should please the king, and if Thy servant has found grace in Thy eyes, that Thou would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
Neh 2:6 And the king said to me,
        (the queen also sitting by him), For until when shall Thy journey be? And when shall Thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
Neh 2:7 And I said to the king,
        If it should please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over until I come into Judah:
Neh 2:8 and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which [appertained] to the house,
        and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Neh 2:9 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.
Neh 2:10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard [of it],
        it grieved them exceedingly that there had come a man to seek the welfare of the sons of Israel.
Neh 2:11 And I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
Neh 2:12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I [any] man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem:
        neither [was there any] beast with me, except the beast that I rode upon.
Neh 2:13 And I went out by night by the Valley Gate, even before the Monster Fountain, and to the Dung Gate{Refuse Gate}, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem,
        which were broken down, and their gates were consumed with fire.
Neh 2:14 Then I went on to the Fountain Gate, and to the king's pool: but [there was] no place for the beast [that was] under me to pass.
Neh 2:15 Then I went up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the Valley Gate, and [so] returned.
Neh 2:16 And the prefects knew not where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told [it] to the Jews,
        nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the prefects, nor to the rest that did the work.
Neh 2:17 And I said to them, See ye the distress that we [are] in, how Jerusalem [lies] waste, and its gates are burned with fire:
        come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we may be no more a reproach.
Neh 2:18 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken to me.
        And they said, Let us rise and build. So they strengthened their hands for [this] good [work].
Neh 2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard [of it],
        they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What [is] this thing that ye do? Will ye rebel against the king?
Neh 2:20 Then I answered them, and said to them,
        The God of Heaven, He shall prosper us; therefore we His servants shall arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

Neh 3:1 Then Eliashib the High Priest arose with his brethren the priests, and they built the Sheep Gate;
        they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even to the Tower of Meah they sanctified it, to the Tower of Hananeel.
Neh 3:2 And next to him built the men of Jericho. And next to them built Zaccur the son of Imri.
Neh 3:3 But the Fish Gate did the sons of Hassenaah build,
        who [also] laid its beams, and set up its doors, its locks and its bars.
Neh 3:4 And next to them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz.
        And next to them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel.
        And next to them repaired Zadok the son of Baana.

Neh 3:6
        And the Old Gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah;
        they laid its beams, and set up its doors, and its locks, and its bars.
Neh 3:7
        And next to them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, to the throne of the governor on this side of the river.
Neh 3:8 Next to him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths.
        And next to him repaired Hananiah the son of [one of] the perfumers, and they fortified Jerusalem to the broad wall.
Neh 3:9 And next to them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem.
Neh 3:10 And next to them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even opposed to his house.
        And next to him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabniah.
Neh 3:11
        Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahath-moab, repaired the other piece, and the Tower of the Furnaces.
Neh 3:12 And next to him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters.
Neh 3:13 The Valley Gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars,
        and a thousand cubits on the wall to the Dung Gate.
Neh 3:14 But the Dung Gate repaired Malchijah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Beth-haccerem; he built it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars.
Neh 3:15 But the Fountain Gate repaired Shallun the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars,
        and the wall of the pool of Shiloah by the king's garden, and to the stairs that go down from the city of David.
Neh 3:16 After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Beth-zur, to [the place] opposed to the sepulchres of David,
        and to the pool that was made, and to the house of the mighty.
Neh 3:17 After him repaired the Levites Rehum the son of Bani.
        Next to him repaired Hashabiah the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part.
Neh 3:18 After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah.
Neh 3:19 And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece opposed to the ascent to the armoury, at the turning [of the wall].
Neh 3:20 After him Baruch the son of Zabbai, earnestly repaired the other piece, from the turning [of the wall] to the door of the house of Eliashib the High Priest.
Neh 3:21 After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib, until the end of the house of Eliashib.
Neh 3:22 And after him repaired the priests, the men of the plain.

        After him repaired Azariah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, by his house.
Neh 3:24 After him repaired Binnui, the son of Henadad, another piece, from the house of Azariah to the turning [of the wall], even to the corner.
Neh 3:25
        Palal, the son of Uzai, opposed to the turning [of the wall], and the tower which lies out from the king's high house,
        that [was] by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah, the son of Parosh.
Neh 3:26 And the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel, to [the place] opposed to the Water Gate towards the east, and the projecting tower.
Neh 3:27 After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, opposed to the great projecting tower, even to the wall of Ophel.
Neh 3:28 From above the Horse Gate repaired the priests, every one opposed to his house.
Neh 3:29 After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer opposed to his house.

        After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah opposed to his chamber.
Neh 3:31 After him repaired Malchijah the goldsmith's son, to the place of the Nethinim, and of the merchants, opposed to the Miphkad Gate{Inspection Gate}, and to the ascent of the corner.
Neh 3:32 And between the ascent of the corner to the Sheep Gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants.

Neh 4:1 And it came to pass that when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall,
        he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
Neh 4:2 And he spoke before his brethren, and the army of Samaria, and said,
        What do these feeble Jews?
        Will they fortify themselves?
        Will they sacrifice?
        Will they make an end in a day?
        Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
Neh 4:3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite [was] by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox should go up, he would even break down their stone wall.
Neh 4:4 Hear, 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:
Neh 4:5 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.
Neh 4:6 So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half of it, for the people had a heart to work.
Neh 4:7
        And it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were set up,
        [and] that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
Neh 4:8 and conspired all of them together to come [and] to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
Neh 4:9 And we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
Neh 4:10 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.
Neh 4:11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know,
        neither see, until we come in the middle among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
Neh 4:12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews who dwelt by them came, they said to us ten times,
        From all places whence ye shall return to us.
Neh 4:13 Therefore I set in the lower places behind the wall, [and] on the higher places,
        I even set the people after their families with their swords, their pikes, and their bows.
Neh 4:14 And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles, and to the prefects, and to the rest of the people,
        Be ye not afraid of them: remember the Lord [who is] great and awesome,
        and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Neh 4:15
        And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known to us,
        and GOD had broken their counsel, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one to his work.
Neh 4:16 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 pikes, the shields, and the bows, and the breast-plates;
        and the rulers [were] behind all the House of Judah.
Neh 4:17 They who built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, with those that loaded,
        [every one] with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other [hand] held a weapon.
Neh 4:18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his loins, and [so] built. And he who sounded the shofar [was] by me.
Neh 4:19 And I said to the nobles, and to the prefects, and to the rest of the people,
        The work [is] great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
Neh 4:20 In what place [therefore] ye hear the voice of the shofar, resort ye there to us: our God shall fight for us.
Neh 4:21 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the pikes from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.
Neh 4:22 Likewise at the same time I said to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem,
        that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour in the day.
Neh 4:23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me,
        none of us put off our clothes, every one took his weapon to the water.

Neh 5:1 But there came a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
Neh 5:2 For there were that said,
        We, our sons, and our daughters, [are] many: therefore we take up grain [for them], that we may eat, and live.
Neh 5:3 [Some] also there were that said,
        We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy grain, because of the famine.
Neh 5:4 There were also that said,
        We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, [and that upon] our lands and vineyards.
Neh 5:5 Yet now our flesh [is] as the flesh of our brethren, our sons as their sons: and behold, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants,
        and [some] of our daughters are brought to bondage [already]: neither [is it] in our power [to redeem them]; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
Neh 5:6 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
Neh 5:7 Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the prefects, and said to them,
        Ye exact interest, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.
Neh 5:8 And I said to them,
        We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, who were sold to the heathen; and shall ye even sell your brethren?
        Or shall they be sold to us? Then they held their peace, and found nothing [to answer].
Neh 5:9 Also I said, that [is] not good which ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
Neh 5:10 I likewise, my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and grain: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
Neh 5:11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards,
        their olive-yards, and their houses, also the hundredth [part] of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
Neh 5:12 Then said they,
        We shall restore [them], and shall require nothing of them; so shall we do as Thou say. Then I called the priests,
        and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.
Neh 5:13 Also I shook my lap, and said,
        So may GOD shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performs not this promise,
        even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the Congregation said, Amen!
        And praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
Neh 5:14 And from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah,
        from the twentieth year even to the thirty second year of Artaxerxes the king, [that is], twelve years,
        I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
Neh 5:15 But the former governors, that [had been] before me were chargeable to the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver;
        yes, even their servants bore rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of GOD.
Neh 5:16 And also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants [were] gathered there to the work.
Neh 5:17 And [there were] at my table a hundred fifty of the Jews and prefects, besides those that came to us from among the heathen that [were] about us.
Neh 5:18 Now [that] which was prepared [for me] once a day [was] one ox [and] six choice sheep; also birds were prepared for me, and once in ten days an abundance of all sorts of wine:
        yet for all this I required not the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
Neh 5:19 Think upon me, my God, for good, [according] to all that I have done for this people.

Neh 6:1 And it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall,
        and [that] there was no breach left in it, (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates).
Neh 6:2 That Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying,
        Come, let us meet together in [someone of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
Neh 6:3 And I sent messengers to them, saying,
        I [am] doing a great work, so that I cannot to come down: why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?
Neh 6:4 Yet they sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
Neh 6:5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
Neh 6:6 in which [was] written,
        It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu said [it], [that] Thou and the Jews think to rebel:
        for which cause Thou build the wall that Thou may be their king, according to these words.
Neh 6:7 And Thou have 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.
Neh 6:8 Then I sent to him, saying,
        There are no such things done as Thou say, but Thou feign them out of Thy own heart.
Neh 6:9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work,
        that it may not be done. And now strengthen my hands.
Neh 6:10 And I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel,
        who [was] shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the House of GOD, within the Temple,
        and let us shut the doors of the Temple: for they shall come to slay Thee; and in the night shall they come to slay Thee.
Neh 6:11 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 shall not go in.
Neh 6:12 And behold, I perceived that GOD had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me:
        for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Neh 6:13 Therefore [was] he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin,
        and [that] they might have [matter] for an evil name, that they might reproach me.
Neh 6:14 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.
Neh 6:15 So the wall was finished in the twenty fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty two days.
Neh 6:16
        And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard [of it], and all the heathen that [were] about us saw,
        they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought by our God.
Neh 6:17 And in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came to them.
Neh 6:18 For [there were] many in Judah sworn to him, because he [was] the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah;
        and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
Neh 6:19 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him.
        Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
Neh 7:1
        And 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,
Neh 7:2 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.
Neh 7:3 And I said to them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun shall be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors,
        and bar [them]: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
        every one in his watch, and every one [to be] opposed to his house.
Neh 7:4 Now the city [was] large and great: but the people in it [were] few, and the houses [were] not built.

Neh 7:5 My God put into my heart to assemble the nobles, and the prefects, and the people, that they might be counted by genealogy.
        And I found a register of the genealogy of them who came up at the first, and found written in it,
Neh 7:6 These [are] the sons 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 back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his city;
Neh 7:7 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah{Seraiah}, Raamiah{Reelaiah}, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth{Mizpar}, Bigvai, Nehum{Rehum}, Baanah.

Neh 7:53 the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur,
Neh 7:54 the sons of Bazlith, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha,
Neh 7:55 the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Tamah,
Neh 7:56 the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha.
Neh 7:57 The sons of Solomon's servants: the sons of Sotai, the sons of Sophereth, the sons of Perida,
Neh 7:58 the sons of Jaala, the sons of Darkon, the sons of Giddel,
Neh 7:59 the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Pochereth of Zebaim, the sons of Amon.
Neh 7:60 All the Nethinim, and the sons of Solomon's servants, [were] three hundred ninety two.
Neh 7:61
        And these [were] they who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-haresha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer:
        but they could not show their fathers' house, nor their seed, whether they [were] of Israel.
Neh 7:62 The sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, six hundred forty two.
Neh 7:63 And of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, the sons of Barzillai,
        who took [one] of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite for a wife, and was called after their name.
Neh 7:64 These sought their register [among] those that were counted by genealogy,
        but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
Neh 7:65 And the Tirshatha said to them, that they should not eat of the most Holy [things],
        until there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
Neh 7:66 The whole Congregation together [was] four myriad + two thousand three hundred sixty{42360}.
Neh 7:67
        Besides their man-servants and their maid-servants, of whom [there were] seven thousand three hundred thirty seven:
        and they had two hundred forty five singing-men and singing-women;
Neh 7:68 their horses, seven hundred thirty six: their mules, two hundred forty five: [Ezr 2:66]
Neh 7:69 [their] camels, four hundred thirty five: six thousand seven hundred twenty asses.
Neh 7:70 And some of the chief of the fathers gave to the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drams of gold,
        fifty basins, five hundred thirty priests' coats.
Neh 7:71 And [some] of the chief of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work, two myriad drams of gold,
        and two thousand two hundred minas of silver.
Neh 7:72 And [that] which the rest of the people gave [was] two myriad drams of gold,
        and two thousand minas of silver, and sixty seven priests' coats.
Neh 7:73 So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and [some] of the people, and the Nethinim,
         and all Israel, dwelt in their cities;
        and when the seventh month came, the sons of Israel [were] in their cities.

Neh 8:1 And all the people assembled as one man in the street that [was] before the Water Gate;
        and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
Neh 8:2 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.
Neh 8:3 And he read in it before the street that [was] before the Water Gate from the [morning] light until mid-day,
        before the men and the women, and those that could understand;
        and the ears of all the people [were attentive] to the Book of the Law.
Neh 8:4 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 Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, [and] Meshullam.
Neh 8:5 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.
Neh 8:6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great GOD. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen!
        With lifting their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground.
Neh 8:7 And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites,
        caused the people to understand the Law: and the people [stood] in their place.
Neh 8:8 So they read in the Book in the Law of GOD distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.
Neh 8:9 And Nehemiah, who [is] the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people,
        said to all the people, This day [is] Holy to the LORD your God;
        mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.
Neh 8:10 Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared: for [this] day [is] Holy to our Lord:
        neither be ye sad; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Neh 8:11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Be silent, for the day [is] Holy; neither be ye grieved.
Neh 8:12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth,
        because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
Neh 8:13
        And on the second day were assembled the chief of the fathers of all the people,
        the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the Law.
Neh 8:14 And they found written in the Law which the LORD had commanded by Moses,
        that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths in the Festival of the seventh month:
Neh 8:15 and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying,
        Go forth to the Mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches,
        and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as [it is] written.
Neh 8:16 So the people went forth, and brought [them], and made themselves booths,
        every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the House of GOD,
        and in the street of the Water Gate, and in the street of the Ephraim Gate.
Neh 8:17 And all the Congregation of them that had returned from the captivity made booths,
        and sat under the booths: for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day,
        had not the sons of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
Neh 8:18 Also day by day, from the first day to the Last Day, he read in the Book of the Law of GOD.
        And they kept the Festival seven days; and on the eighth day [was] a solemn assembly, according to the manner.

Neh 9:1 Now in the twenty fourth day of this month the sons of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
Neh 9:2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
Neh 9:3 And they stood up in their place, and read in the Book of the Law of the LORD their God,
        a fourth [part] of the day; and [another] fourth [part] they confessed, and worshiped the LORD their God.
Neh 9:4 Then stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, [and] Chenani,
        and cried with a great voice to the LORD their God.
Neh 9:5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, [and] Pethahiah,
        said, Stand up [and] bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting:
        and blessed [be] Thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
Neh 9:6
        Thou, [even] Thou, [are] LORD alone; Thou have made Heaven, the Heavens of Heavens,
        with all their army, the Earth, and all [things] that [are] in it, the seas, and all that [is] in them,
        and Thou preserve them all; and the Army of Heaven worships Thee.
Neh 9:7 Thou [are] the LORD the GOD, who choose Abram,
        and brought him forth from Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham;
Neh 9:8 and found his heart faithful before Thee, and made 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 have performed Thy words; for Thou [are] righteous:
Neh 9:9 And Thou saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea;
Neh 9:10 and showed signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land:
        for Thou knew that they dealt proudly against them. So did Thou get Thee a name, as [it is] this day.
Neh 9:11 And Thou did divide the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry [land];
        and their persecutors Thou threw into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
Neh 9:12
        And Thou led them in the day by a cloudy pillar;
        and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way in which they should go.
Neh 9:13 Thou came down also upon Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from Heaven,
        and gave them right Judgments, and true laws, good Statutes and Commandments:
Neh 9:14 and Thy Holy Sabbath made Thou known to them, and Commandments, Statutes, and Laws,
        by the hand of Moses Thy servant:
Neh 9:15 and gave them Bread from Heaven for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst,
        and promised them that they should go in to possess the land which Thou had sworn to give them.
Neh 9:16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and listened not to Thy Commandments,
Neh 9:17 and refused to obey, neither were mindful of Thy wonders that Thou did perform among them; but hardened their necks,
        and in their rebellion appointed a chief to return to their bondage:
        but Thou [are] a God of forgivenesses, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsook them not.
Neh 9:18 Even, 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;
Neh 9:19 yet Thou in Thy manifold mercies forsook them not in the wilderness:
        the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way;
        neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.
Neh 9:20 Thou gave also Thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheld not Thy manna from their mouth,
        and gave them water for their thirst.
Neh 9:21 Even, forty years did Thou sustain them in the wilderness,
        [so that] they lacked nothing; their clothes grew not old, and their feet swelled not.
Neh 9:22 And Thou gave them kingdoms and nations,
        and did 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.
Neh 9:23 Their sons also multiplied Thou as the stars of Heaven, and brought them into the land,
        concerning which Thou had promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess [it].
Neh 9:24 So the sons went in and possessed the land, and Thou subdued before them the inhabitants of the land,
        the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands,
        with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
Neh 9:25 And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods,
        wells dig, vineyards and olive-yards, and fruit trees in abundance:
        so they ate and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in Thy great goodness.
Neh 9:26 And they were disobedient, and rebelled against Thee, and cast Thy Law behind their backs,
        and slew Thy prophets who testified against them to turn them to Thee, and they wrought great provocations.
Neh 9:27 Therefore Thou delivered them into the hand of their enemies,
        who distressed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried to Thee, Thou heard [them] from Heaven;
        and according to Thy manifold mercies Thou gave them deliverers, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
Neh 9:28 But after they had rest, they again did evil before Thee: therefore Thou left them in the hand of their enemies,
        so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned and cried to Thee,
        Thou heard [them] from Heaven; and many times did Thou deliver them according to Thy mercies;
Neh 9:29 and testified against them, that Thou might bring them back to Thy Law:
        yet they dealt proudly, and listened not to Thy Commandments, but sinned against Thy Judgments,
        (which if a man does, he shall live in them): and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
Neh 9:30 Yet many years did Thou forbear over them, and testified against them by Thy Spirit in Thy prophets:
        yet would they not give ear: therefore Thou gave them into the hand of the people of the lands.
Neh 9:31 And for Thy great mercies' sake Thou did not utterly consume them,
        nor forsake them; for Thou [are] a gracious and merciful God.
Neh 9:32 And now, our God, the Great, the Mighty, and the awesome God, who keep Covenant and mercy,
        let not all the trouble seem little before Thee, that has come upon us,
        on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all Thy people,
        since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
Neh 9:33 But Thou [are] just in all that is brought upon us; for Thou have done right, but we have done wickedly:
Neh 9:34 neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept Thy Law,
        nor listened to Thy Commandments and Thy Testimonies, with which Thou did testify against them.
Neh 9:35 For they have not served Thee in their kingdom, and in Thy great goodness that Thou gave them,
        and in the large and fat land which Thou gave before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
Neh 9:36 Behold, we [are] servants this day, and [for] the land that Thou gave to our fathers,
        to eat the fruit of it and the good of it, behold, we [are] servants in it:
Neh 9:37 and it yields much increase to the kings whom Thou have 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.

Neh 9:38 And because of all this we make a sure [Covenant], and write [it];
        and our princes, Levites, [and] priests, set their seals [to it].
Neh 10:1 Now those that sealed [were], Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah,
Neh 10:2 Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah,
Neh 10:3 Pashur, Amariah, Malchijah,

Neh 10:20 Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir,
Neh 10:21 Meshezabeel, Zadok, Jaddua,
Neh 10:22 Pelatiah, Hanan, Anaiah,
Neh 10:23 Hoshea, Hananiah, Hashub,
Neh 10:24 Halohesh, Pileha, Shobek,
Neh 10:25 Rehum, Hashabnah, Maaseiah,
Neh 10:26 and Ahijah, Hanan, Anan,
Neh 10:27 Malluch, Harim, Baanah.
Neh 10:28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinim,
        and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands to the Law of GOD,
        their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
Neh 10:29 they united with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in [the] Law of GOD,
        which was given by Moses the servant of GOD,
        and to observe and do all the Commandments of the LORD our Lord, and His Judgments and His Statutes;
Neh 10:30 and that we would not give our daughters to the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
Neh 10:31 and [if] the people of the land should bring wares or wheat on the Sabbath day to sell, [that] we would not buy it of them on the Sabbath, or on the Holy day:
        and [that] we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
Neh 10:32 Also we made commandments for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third [part] of a shekel for the service of the House of our God;
Neh 10:33 for the show-bread, and for the continual food-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, of the Sabbaths, of the New Moons, for the set Festivals, and for the Holy [things],
        and for the sin-offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and [for] all the work of the House of our God.
Neh 10:34 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood-offering, to bring [it] into the House of our God,
        after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the Altar of the LORD our God, as [it is] written in the Law:
Neh 10:35 and to bring the first-fruit of our ground, and the first-fruit of all fruit of all trees, year by year, to the House of the LORD:
Neh 10:36 also the first-born of our sons, and of our cattle, as [it is] written in the Law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the House of our God,
        to the priests that minister in the House of our God:
Neh 10:37 and [that] we should bring the first-fruit of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of new wine and of oil,
        to the priests, to the chambers of the House of our God;
        and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
Neh 10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes:
        and the Levites shall bring up the tenth of the tithes to the House of our God,
        to the chambers, into the treasure-house.
Neh 10:39 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the offering of the grain, of the new wine, and the oil,
        to the chambers, where [are] the vessels of the Sanctuary,
        and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we shall not forsake the House of our God.

Neh 11:1 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, nine parts [to dwell] in [other] cities.
Neh 11:2 And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
Neh 11:3 And 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,
        Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the sons of Solomon's servants.
Neh 11:4 And at Jerusalem dwelt [some] of the sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin. Of the sons of Judah;

Neh 11:24 And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the sons of Zerah the son of Judah [was] at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people.

Neh 12:11 and Joiada begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jaddua.
Neh 12:12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers:
        of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Neh 12:13 of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
Neh 12:14 of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
Neh 12:15 of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
Neh 12:16 of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
Neh 12:17 of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;
Neh 12:18 of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;
Neh 12:19 and of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
Neh 12:20 of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
Neh 12:21 of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
Neh 12:22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, [were] recorded chief of the fathers:
        also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.
Neh 12:23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, [were] written in the Book of the chronicles,
        even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Neh 12:24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposed to them,
        to praise [and] to give thanks according to the Commandment of David the man of GOD, ward opposed to ward.
Neh 12:25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, [were] porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.
Neh 12:26 These [were] in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
Neh 12:27 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.
Neh 12:28 And the sons of the singers assembled, both out of the plain country around Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
Neh 12:29 Also from the house of Gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem.

Neh 12:30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Neh 12:31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall,
        and appointed two great thanksgiving choirs went on the right hand upon the wall towards the Dung Gate:
Neh 12:32 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
Neh 12:33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Neh 12:34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Neh 12:35 and [some] of the priests' sons with trumpets;
        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:
Neh 12:36 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.
Neh 12:37 And at the Fountain Gate, which was opposed to them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David,
        at the ascent of the wall, above the House of David, even to the Water Gate eastward.
Neh 12:38 And the other [company of them that gave] thanks went opposed to [them], and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall,
        from beyond the Tower of the Furnaces even to the broad wall;
Neh 12:39 And from above the Ephraim Gate,
        and above the Old Gate,
        and above the Fish Gate,
        and the Tower of Hananeel,
        and the Tower of Meah,
        even to the Sheep Gate:
        and they stood still in the Prison Gate.
Neh 12:40 So stood the two [companies of them that gave] thanks in the House of GOD,
        and I, and the half of the prefects with me:
Neh 12:41 and the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, [and] Hananiah, with trumpets;
Neh 12:42 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.
Neh 12:43 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.
Neh 12:44 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the first-fruit, 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.
Neh 12:45 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.
Neh 12:46 For in the days of David, and Asaph of old [there were] chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to GOD.
Neh 12:47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah,
        gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion:
        and they sanctified Holy [things] to the Levites; and the Levites sanctified [them] to the sons of Aaron.

Neh 13:1 On that day they read in the Book of Moses in the audience of the people; and in it was found written,
        that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the Congregation of GOD forever: [Deu 23:3]
Neh 13:2 because they met not the sons of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them,
        that he should curse them: but our God turned the curse into a blessing.
Neh 13:3
        And it came to pass, when they had heard the Law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
Neh 13:4 And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the House of our God, [was] allied to Tobiah.
Neh 13:5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where formerly they laid the food-offerings, the frankincense,
        and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil,
        which was the commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
Neh 13:6 But in all this [time] I have been not at Jerusalem: for in the thirty second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king,
        and after some days I obtained leave of the king.
Neh 13:7 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah,
        in preparing for him a chamber in the courts of the House of GOD.
Neh 13:8 And it grieved me greatly: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
Neh 13:9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and there I brought back the vessels of the House of GOD, with the food-offering and the frankincense.
Neh 13:10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given [them]: for the Levites and the singers,
        that did the work, had fled every one to his field.
Neh 13:11 And I contended with the prefects, and said, Why is the House of GOD forsaken? And I assembled them, and set them in their place.
Neh 13:12 Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasures.
Neh 13:13 And I made treasurers over the treasures, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites,
        Pedaiah: and next to them [was] Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah:
        for they were accounted faithful; and their office [was] to distribute to their brethren.
Neh 13:14 Remember me, my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the House of my God, and for its offices.

Neh 13:15 In those days I saw in Judah [some] treading wine presses 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 in which they sold provisions.
Neh 13:16 There dwelt men of Tyre also in it, who brought fish, and all manner of wares,
        and sold on the Sabbath to the sons of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Neh 13:17 And I contended with the nobles of Judah,
        and said to them, What evil thing [is] this that ye do, and profane the Sabbath day?
Neh 13:18 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.
Neh 13:19
        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 until after the Sabbath:
        and I set [some] of my servants at the gates, [that] there should no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.
Neh 13:20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.
Neh 13:21 Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why lodge ye about the wall?
        If ye do [so] again, I shall lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no [more] on the Sabbath.
Neh 13:22 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, my God,
        [concerning] this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Thy mercy.

Neh 13:23 In those days also I saw Jews [that] had dwelt with women of Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab:
Neh 13:24 and their sons spoke half in the speech of Ashdod,
        and could not speak in the Jewish language, but according to the language of each people.
Neh 13:25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote some of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by GOD,
        [saying], Ye shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters to your sons, or for yourselves.
Neh 13:26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these [things]? Yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved by his God,
        and GOD made him king over all Israel: even him did strange women cause to sin.
Neh 13:27 Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying foreign wives?
Neh 13:28 And [one] of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the High Priest,
        [was] son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
Neh 13:29 Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood,
        and the Covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.
Neh 13:30 And Thus I cleansed them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
Neh 13:31 and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruit. Remember me, my God, for good.

1Ch 10:13 And Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD,
        against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking a medium, to inquire;
1Ch 10:14 and inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

1Ch 11:1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we [are] Thy bone and Thy flesh.
1Ch 11:2 And moreover, yesterday and before, even when Saul was king, Thou [were he] that led out and brought in Israel: and the LORD Thy God said to Thee,
        Thou shall feed My people Israel, and Thou shall be ruler over My people Israel.

        [and] with all Israel, to make him king according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
1Ch 11:11 And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam a Hachmonite, the chief of the captains:

1Ch 11:13 He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

1Ch 11:17 And David longed, and said, that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, that [is] by the gate!
1Ch 11:18 And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that [was] by the gate,
        and took [it], and brought [it] to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.
1Ch 11:19 And he said, Let it not be, my God, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went in jeopardy of their souls?
        For with [the jeopardy of] their souls they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it.
        These [things] did these three mightiest.
1Ch 11:20
        And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting his spear against three hundred, he slew [them], and had a name among the three.
1Ch 11:21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: but he attained not to the [first] three.
1Ch 11:22
        And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts;
        he slew two lion-like men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
1Ch 11:23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand [was] a spear like a weavers' 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.
1Ch 11:24 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mightiest.
1Ch 11:25 Behold, he was honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.

1Ch 12:33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, who could keep rank: [they were] not of double heart.
1Ch 12:34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty seven thousand.
1Ch 12:35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty eight thousand six hundred.
1Ch 12:36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.
1Ch 12:37 And on the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, a hundred twenty thousand.
1Ch 12:38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel [were] of one heart to make David king.
1Ch 12:39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
1Ch 12:40 And they that were near them, to Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen,
        [and] provision, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil,
        and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Israel.
1Ch 13:1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, [and] with every ruler.
1Ch 13:2 And David said to all the Congregation of Israel, If [it seems] good to you, and [that it is] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brethren everywhere, [that are] left in all the land of Israel,
        and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [who are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may assemble to us:
1Ch 13:3 and let us bring about to us the Ark of our God: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
1Ch 13:4 And all the Congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
1Ch 13:5 And David assembled all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the Ark of GOD from Kirjath-jearim.
1Ch 13:6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kirjath-jearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the Ark of GOD the LORD, that dwells [between] the cherubim, whose name is called [on it].
1Ch 13:7 And they carried the Ark of GOD in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
1Ch 13:8 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.
1Ch 13:9 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the Ark; for the oxen stumbled.
1Ch 13:10 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.
1Ch 13:11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: and called the place Perez-Uzza to this day.
1Ch 13:12 And David was afraid of GOD that day, saying, How shall I bring the Ark of GOD [home] to me?
1Ch 13:13 And David brought not the Ark to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
1Ch 13:14 And the Ark of GOD remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
1Ch 14:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
1Ch 14:2 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of His people Israel.
1Ch 14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more sons and daughters.
1Ch 14:4 And these [are] the names of [his] children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
1Ch 14:5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet,
1Ch 14:6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
1Ch 14:7 and Elishama, and Beeliada{Eliada}, and Eliphalet.
1Ch 14:8 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.
1Ch 14:9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
1Ch 14:10 And David inquired of GOD, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And shall Thou deliver them into my hand?
        And the LORD said to him, Go up; for I shall deliver them into Thy hand.
1Ch 14:11 So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there.
        And David said, GOD has broken in upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters:
        therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
1Ch 14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
1Ch 14:13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
1Ch 14:14 Therefore David inquired again of GOD: and GOD said to him,
        Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them opposed to the mulberry-trees.
1Ch 14:15 And it shall be, when Thou shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry-trees,
        then Thou shall go out to battle: for GOD has gone forth before Thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.
1Ch 14:16 David therefore did as GOD commanded him: and they smote the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
1Ch 14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
1Ch 15:1 And he made houses for himself in the city of David, and prepared a place for the Ark of GOD, and pitched for it a tent.
1Ch 15:2 Then David said, None ought to carry the Ark of GOD but the Levites:
        for them has the LORD chosen to carry the Ark of GOD, and to minister to Him forever.
1Ch 15:3 And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
1Ch 15:4 And David assembled the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:
1Ch 15:5 of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred twenty:
1Ch 15:6 of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred twenty:
1Ch 15:7 of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred thirty:
1Ch 15:8 of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
1Ch 15:9 of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty:
1Ch 15:10 of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred twelve.
1Ch 15:11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
1Ch 15:12 and said to 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 to [the place that] I have prepared for it.
1Ch 15:13 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.
1Ch 15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the Ark of the LORD, God of Israel.
1Ch 15:15 And the sons of the Levites bore the Ark of GOD upon their shoulders with the staffs on it, as Moses commanded, according to the word of the LORD.
1Ch 15:16 And David spoke 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.
1Ch 15:17 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;
1Ch 15:18 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.
1Ch 15:19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed] to sound with cymbals of bronze;
1Ch 15:20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
1Ch 15:21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
1Ch 15:22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song: he instructed about the song, because he [was] skilful.
1Ch 15:23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] porters for the Ark.
1Ch 15:24 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] porters for the Ark.
1Ch 15:25 And David and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

1Ch 15:26 And it came to pass, when GOD helped the Levites that bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bulls and seven rams.
1Ch 15:27 And David [was] clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore the Ark,
        and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also [had] upon him an ephod of linen.
1Ch 15:28 And all Israel brought up the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with voice of the shofar, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.
1Ch 15:29 And it came to pass, [as] the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD came to the city of David,
        that Michal, daughter of Saul, looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
1Ch 16:1 So they brought the Ark of GOD, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before GOD.
1Ch 16:2 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.
1Ch 16:3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, a portion, and a raisin cake.
1Ch 16:4
        And he appointed [some] of the Levites to minister before the Ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD, God of Israel:
1Ch 16:5 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;
1Ch 16:6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the Ark of the Covenant of GOD.
1Ch 16:7 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
1Ch 16:8 {Psalm of Thanksgiving}.
         Give thanks to the LORD,
         call upon His name,
         make known among the people His deeds{variant}. [Psa 105:1-18]
1Ch 16:9 Sing to Him, sing-psalms to Him,
         talk ye of all His wondrous works.
1Ch 16:10 Glory ye in His Holy name:
        let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
1Ch 16:11
        Seek the LORD, and His strength.
        Seek His face continually.
1Ch 16:12 Remember His wonders that He has done,
          His wonders, and the Judgments of His mouth;
1Ch 16:13 ye seed of Israel His servant,
          ye sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
1Ch 16:14
         He [is] the LORD our God;
         His Judgments [are] in all the Earth.
1Ch 16:15 Be ye mindful always of His Covenant;
          the word [which] He commanded to a thousand generations;
1Ch 16:16 which [Covenant] He made with Abraham,
          and His oath to Isaac;
1Ch 16:17
        and confirmed the same to Jacob for a Statute,
       [and] to Israel [for] an Everlasting Covenant:
1Ch 16:18 saying, To Thee I shall give the land of Canaan,
          the lot of your inheritance. [Psa 105:11]
1Ch 16:19
        When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
1Ch 16:20 And [when] they went from nation to nation,
          from [one] kingdom to another people;
1Ch 16:21
        He permitted no man to do them wrong:
        and He reproved kings for their sakes;
1Ch 16:22 [saying], Touch not My anointed,
         and do My prophets no harm. [Psa 105:15]
1Ch 16:23
        Sing to the LORD, all the Earth;
        show forth from day to day His Salvation{variant}. [Psa 96:2-12]
1Ch 16:24 Declare His glory among the nations;
         His wonders among all the peoples.
1Ch 16:25
          For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised:
          He [is] to be feared above all GODS.
1Ch 16:26 For all the gods of the peoples [are] idols:
          but the LORD made the Heavens. [Psa 96:5]
1Ch 16:27 Glory and honour [are] in His presence;
          strength and gladness [are] in His place.
1Ch 16:28
          Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people.
          Give to the LORD glory and strength. [Psa 96:7]
1Ch 16:29 Give to the LORD the glory [due] to His name:
          bring an offering, and come before Him:
          worship the LORD in the beauty of Holiness.
1Ch 16:30 Fear before Him, all the Earth:
          the World also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
1Ch 16:31
          Let the Heavens be glad, and let the Earth rejoice.
          Let [men] say among the nations, The LORD reigns.
1Ch 16:32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness.
          Let the fields rejoice, and all that [is] in it.
1Ch 16:33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing at the presence of the LORD,
          because He comes to judge the Earth.
1Ch 16:34
           Give thanks to the LORD; for [He is] good:
           for His mercy [endures] forever. [Psa 106:1]
1Ch 16:35 And say ye, Save us, 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{variant}. [Psa 106:47]
1Ch 16:36 Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel,
          from everlasting to everlasting! [Psa 106:48]
           And all the people said, Amen! And praised the LORD.

1Ch 16:37 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:
1Ch 16:38 And Obed-Edom with their brethren, sixty eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah [to be] porters:
1Ch 16:39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the Tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that [was] at Gibeon,
1Ch 16:40 to offer burnt-offerings to the LORD upon the Altar of the burnt-offering continually morning and evening,
        and [to do] according to all that has been written in the Law of the LORD, which He commanded Israel;
1Ch 16:41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD,
          for His mercy [endures] forever;
1Ch 16:42 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.
1Ch 16:43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.

1Ch 17:1 And it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet,
        Behold, I dwell in a house of cedars, but the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD [remains] under curtains.
1Ch 17:2 And Nathan said to David, Do all that [is] in Thy heart; for GOD [is] with Thee.
1Ch 17:3
        And it came to pass the same night, that the Word of GOD came to Nathan, saying,
1Ch 17:4 Go and tell David My servant, Thus says the LORD, Thou shall not build me a house to dwell in:
1Ch 17:5 for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day;
        but have gone from tent to tent, and from [one] Tabernacle [to another].
1Ch 17:6 Wherever I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel,
        whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedars?
1Ch 17:7 And now thus shall Thou say to My servant David, Thus says the LORD of Sabaoth,
        I took Thee from the sheep-cote, from following the sheep,
        that Thou should be ruler over My people Israel:
1Ch 17:8 and I have been with Thee wherever Thou have walked, and have cut off all Thy enemies from before Thee,
        and have made Thee a name like the name of the great men that [are] in the Earth.
1Ch 17:9 Also I shall ordain a place for My people Israel, and shall plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more;
        neither shall the sons of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning.
1Ch 17:10 And since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over My people Israel. And I shall subdue all Thy enemies.
        And I tell Thee that the LORD shall build Thee a House.
1Ch 17:11
        And it shall be, when Thy days shall be ended that Thou must go [to be] with Thy fathers,
        that I shall raise up Thy seed after Thee, who shall be of Thy sons; and I shall establish His Kingdom.
1Ch 17:12 He shall build Me a House, and I shall establish His throne forever.
1Ch 17:13 I shall be His Father, and He shall be My Son: and I shall not take My mercy away from Him,
        as I took [it] from Him that was before Thee:
1Ch 17:14 but I shall settle Him in My house and in My Kingdom forever:
        and His throne shall be established forever.

1Ch 17:15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
1Ch 17:16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who [am] I, LORD GOD, and what [is] My House, that Thou have brought me until now?
1Ch 17:17 And [yet] this was a small thing in Thy eyes, GOD; for Thou have [also] spoken of Thy servant's house for a great while to come,
        and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, LORD GOD.
1Ch 17:18 What can David [speak] more to Thee for the honour of Thy servant? For Thou know Thy servant.
1Ch 17:19 LORD, for Thy servant's sake, and according to Thy own heart, have Thou done all this greatness, in making known all [these] great things.
1Ch 17:20 LORD, [there] is none like Thee, neither [is there any] GOD besides Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
1Ch 17:21 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 awesomeness, by driving out nations from before Thy people,
        whom Thou have redeemed out of Egypt?
1Ch 17:22 For Thy people Israel did Thou make Thy own people forever; and Thou, LORD, became their GOD.
1Ch 17:23 Therefore now, LORD, Let the thing that Thou have spoken concerning Thy servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do as Thou have said.
1Ch 17:24 Let it even be established, that Thy name may be magnified forever,
        saying, The LORD of Sabaoth, the God of Israel [is] a GOD to Israel: and [let] the House of David Thy servant [be] established before Thee.
1Ch 17:25 For Thou, my God, have told Thy servant that Thou shall build him a house: therefore Thy servant has found [in his heart] to pray before Thee.
1Ch 17:26 And now, LORD, Thou are GOD, and have promised this goodness to Thy servant.
1Ch 17:27 And now let it please Thee to bless the house of Thy servant, that it may be before Thee forever: for Thou bless, LORD, and [it shall be] blessed forever.

1Ch 18:1 And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
1Ch 18:2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
1Ch 18:3 And David smote Hadadezer, king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates. [2Sa 8:3-12]
1Ch 18:4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen:
         David also hamstrung all the chariot-[horses], but reserved of them a hundred chariots.
1Ch 18:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians twenty two thousand men.
1Ch 18:6 And David put [garrisons] in Syria-Damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants,
        [and] brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
1Ch 18:7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
1Ch 18:8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadadezer, David brought very much bronze,
        with which Solomon made the bronze sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
1Ch 18:9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah;
1Ch 18:10 he sent Hadoram his son to king David to inquire of his welfare, and to bless him,
        because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him;
        (for Hadadezer had warred with Tou); and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold, and silver, and bronze.
1Ch 18:11 Them also king David dedicated to the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations;
        from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
1Ch 18:12 And Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand.
1Ch 18:13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
1Ch 18:14 And David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
1Ch 18:15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder;
1Ch 18:16 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha [was] scribe;
1Ch 18:17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David [were] chief about the king.
1Ch 19:1 And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
1Ch 19:2
        And David said, I shall show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.
        And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
1Ch 19:3 But the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, Think Thou that David does honour Thy father, that he has sent comforters to Thee?
        Are not his servants come to Thee to search, and to overthrow, and to explore the land?
1Ch 19:4 Therefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle hard by their hips, and sent them away.
1Ch 19:5 Then [some] went, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed.
        And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and [then] return.
1Ch 19:6 And when the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David,
        Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Aram-naharaim,
        and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.
1Ch 19:7 So they hired thirty two thousand (chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people), who came and encamped before Medeba.
        And the sons of Ammon assembled from their cities, and came to battle.
1Ch 19:8 And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
1Ch 19:9 And the sons of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that had come [were] by themselves in the field.
1Ch 19:10 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he selected all the choice [men] of Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians.
1Ch 19:11 And the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set [themselves] in array against the sons of Ammon.
1Ch 19:12 And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then Thou shall help me: but if the sons of Ammon shall be too strong for Thee, then I shall help Thee.
1Ch 19:13 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 eyes.
1Ch 19:14 And Joab and the people that [were] with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
1Ch 19:15 And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. And Joab came to Jerusalem.
1Ch 19:16 And when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that [were] beyond the river:
        and Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer [went] before them.
1Ch 19:17 And it was told to David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the 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.
1Ch 19:18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand [men who fought in] chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the army.
1Ch 19:19 And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the sons of Ammon any more.

1Ch 20:1 And it came to pass, that after the year had expired, at the time that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the sons of Ammon,
        and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
1Ch 20:2 And David took the crown of their king from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and [there were] precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head:
        and he brought also a great quantity of spoil out of the city.
1Ch 20:3 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 David dealt with all the cities of the sons of Ammon.
        And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
1Ch 20:4
        And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, [that was] born of the giant: and they were subdued.
1Ch 20:5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear-staff [was] like a weavers' beam. [2Sa 21:19]
1Ch 20:6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] twenty four, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant.
1Ch 20:7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, slew him.
1Ch 20:8 These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

1Ch 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and incited David to number Israel.
1Ch 21:2 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].
1Ch 21:3 And Joab answered, May the LORD make His people a hundred times more numerous than they [are]: but my lord the king, [are] they not all my lord's servants?
        Why then does my lord require this thing? Why shall he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
1Ch 21:4 And the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
1Ch 21:5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all [they of] Israel were a thousand x thousand + hundred thousand{1100000} men that drew sword:
        and Judah [was] four hundred seventy thousand men that drew sword.
1Ch 21:6 But Levi and Benjamin he counted not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
1Ch 21:7 And GOD was displeased with this thing, and He smote Israel.
1Ch 21:8 And David said to GOD, I have sinned greatly,
        because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech Thee,
        do away the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

1Ch 21:9 And the LORD spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
1Ch 21:10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus says the LORD, I offer Thee [three] things;
        choose Thee one of them, that I may do [it] to Thee.
1Ch 21:11 And Gad came to David, and said to him,
        Thus says the LORD, Choose Thee;
1Ch 21:12 either three years' famine;
        or three months to be destroyed before Thy foes, while the sword of Thy enemies overtakes [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 borders of Israel.
        And now advise thyself what word I shall bring back to Him who sent me.
1Ch 21:13 And David said to Gad, I [am] in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD;
        for very great [are] his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
1Ch 21:14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
1Ch 21:15 And GOD sent an Angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld,
        and He relented of the evil, and said to the Angel that destroyed,
        It is enough, stay now Thy hand. And the Angel of the LORD stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1Ch 21:16 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, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
1Ch 21:17 And David said to GOD, [Is it] not I [that] commanded the people to be numbered?
        Even it is I that have sinned and done evil indeed; but [as for] these sheep, what have they done?
        Let Thy hand, I pray Thee, LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house;
        but not on Thy people, that they should be afflicted.
1Ch 21:18 Then the Angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David,
        that David should go up, and erect an Altar to the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1Ch 21:19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.
1Ch 21:20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the Angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
1Ch 21:21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked, and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor,
        and bowed himself to David with [his] face to the ground.
1Ch 21:22 And David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of [this] threshing-floor,
        that I may build an Altar in it to the LORD: Thou shall grant it to me for the full price:
        that the plague may be stayed from the people.
1Ch 21:23 And Ornan said to David, Take [it] to Thee,
        and let my lord the king do [that which is] good in his eyes: see, I give [Thee] the oxen [also] for burnt-offerings,
        and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the food-offering; I give it all.
1Ch 21:24 And king David said to Ornan, No; but I shall truly buy it for the full price:
        for I shall not take [that] which [is] Thy for the LORD, nor offer burnt-offerings without cost.
1Ch 21:25 And David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
1Ch 21:26 And David built there an Altar to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon the LORD;
        and he answered him from Heaven by fire upon the Altar of burnt-offering.
1Ch 21:27 And the LORD commanded the Angel; and he put up his sword back into its sheath.
1Ch 21:28 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
1Ch 21:29 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.
1Ch 21:30 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.
1Ch 22:1 And David said, This [is] the House of the LORD GOD, and this [is] the Altar of the burnt-offering for Israel.
1Ch 22:2 And David commanded to assemble the strangers that [were] in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the House of GOD.
1Ch 22:3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and bronze in abundance without weight;
1Ch 22:4 also cedar trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
1Ch 22:5 And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender, and the house [that is] to be built for the LORD [must be] very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries:
        I shall [therefore] now make preparation for it. And David made abundant preparation before his death.
1Ch 22:6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD, God of Israel.
1Ch 22:7 And David said to Solomon, my son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a House to the name of the LORD my God.
1Ch 22:8 Then came the word of the LORD against me, saying, Thou have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars:
        Thou shall not build a house for My name, because Thou have shed much blood upon the Earth in My sight.
1Ch 22:9 Behold, a son shall be born to Thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I shall give him rest from all his enemies around:
        for his name shall be Solomon, and I shall give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
1Ch 22:10 He shall build a House for My name; and He shall be My Son, and I [shall be] His Father; and I shall establish the throne of His Kingdom over Israel forever.
1Ch 22:11 Now, my son, the LORD be with Thee; and prosper Thou, and build the House of the LORD Thy God, as He has said of Thee.
1Ch 22:12 May only the LORD give Thee wisdom and understanding, and give Thee charge concerning Israel, that Thou may keep the Law of the LORD Thy God.
1Ch 22:13 Then shall Thou prosper, if Thou shall take heed to fulfil the Statutes and Judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel:
        be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
1Ch 22:14 Now behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the House of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand x thousand{1000000} talents of silver; and of bronze and iron without weight;
        for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and Thou may add to them.
1Ch 22:15 And [there are] workmen with Thee in great numbers, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every manner of work.
1Ch 22:16 Of the gold, the silver, and the bronze, and the iron, [there is] no number. Arise [therefore], and be doing, and the LORD be with Thee.
1Ch 22:17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying],
1Ch 22:18 [Is] not the LORD your God with you? And has He [not] given you rest on every side?
        For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before His people.
1Ch 22:19 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.

1Ch 23:1 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
1Ch 23:2 And he assembled all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
1Ch 23:3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty eight thousand.
1Ch 23:4 Of which, twenty four thousand [were] to oversee the work of the House of the LORD; and six thousand [were] officers and judges:
1Ch 23:5 moreover, four thousand [were] porters; four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, to praise.
1Ch 23:6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, [namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
1Ch 23:7 Of the Gershonites, [were], Laadan and Shimei.
1Ch 23:8 The sons of Laadan: the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
1Ch 23:9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
1Ch 23:10 And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah. These four [were] the sons of Shimei.
1Ch 23:11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one counting, according to [their] father's house.
1Ch 23:12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
1Ch 23:13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should be sanctified as most Holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD,
        to minister to Him, and to bless in His name forever.
1Ch 23:14 Now [concerning] Moses the man of GOD, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
1Ch 23:15 The sons of Moses [were], Gershom, and Eliezer.
1Ch 23:16 Of the sons of Gershom; Shebuel [was] the chief.
1Ch 23:17 And the sons of Eliezer [were], Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
1Ch 23:18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
1Ch 23:19 Of the sons of Hebron;
        Jeriah the first,
        Amariah the second,
        Jahaziel the third,
        and Jekameam the fourth.
1Ch 23:20 Of the sons of Uzziel;
        Micah the first,
        and Jesiah the second.
1Ch 23:21
        The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
1Ch 23:22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
1Ch 23:23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
1Ch 23:24 These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls,
        that did the work for the service of the House of the LORD from the age of twenty years and upward.
1Ch 23:25
        For David said, The LORD, God of Israel has given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever;
1Ch 23:26 and also to the Levites: they shall no [more] carry the Tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its service.
1Ch 23:27 For by the last words of David the Levites [were] numbered from twenty years old and above:
1Ch 23:28 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;
1Ch 23:29 both for the show-bread, and for the fine flour for food-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;
1Ch 23:30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and so at evening;
1Ch 23:31 and to offer all burnt-offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, in the New Moons, and for the set Festivals,
        by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before the LORD:
1Ch 23:32 and that they should keep the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the charge of the Holy [place],
        and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the House of the LORD.

1Ch 24:1 Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
1Ch 24:2 And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
1Ch 24:3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech{Abimelech} of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
1Ch 24:4 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.
1Ch 24:5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the Sanctuary, and governors of GOD, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
1Ch 24:6 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{Abimelech} the son of Abiathar,
        and [before] the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one father's household being taken for Eleazar, and [one] taken for Ithamar.
1Ch 24:7
        Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib,
          the second to Jedaiah,
1Ch 24:8  the third to Harim,
          the fourth to Seorim,
1Ch 24:9  the fifth to Malchijah,
          the sixth to Mijamin,
1Ch 24:10 the seventh to Hakkoz,
          the eighth to Abijah,
1Ch 24:11 the ninth to Jeshua,
          the tenth to Shecaniah,
1Ch 24:12 the eleventh to Eliashib,
          the twelfth to Jakim,
1Ch 24:13 the thirteenth to Huppah,
          the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

1Ch 24:18 the twenty third to Delaiah,
          the twenty fourth to Maaziah.
1Ch 24:19
        These [were] the orderings of them in their service to come into the House of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father,
        as the LORD, God of Israel had commanded him.
1Ch 24:20 And the rest of the sons of Levi [were these]: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
1Ch 24:21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first [was] Isshiah.
1Ch 24:22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
1Ch 24:23 And the sons [of Hebron];
        Jeriah [the first],
        Amariah the second,
        Jahaziel the third,
        Jekameam the fourth.
1Ch 24:24
        Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
1Ch 24:25 The brother of Michah [was] Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
1Ch 24:26 The sons of Merari [were] Mahli, and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
1Ch 24:27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
1Ch 24:28 Of Mahli [came] Eleazar, who had no sons.
1Ch 24:29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish [was] Jerahmeel.
1Ch 24:30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These [were] the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
1Ch 24:31 These likewise cast lots opposed to their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites,
        even the principal fathers opposed to their younger brethren.

1Ch 25:1 And David and the captains of the army separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals:
        and the number of the workmen according to their service was.
1Ch 25:2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.
1Ch 25:3 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.
1Ch 25:4 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, [and] Mahazioth.
1Ch 25:5 All these [were] the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of GOD, to lift up the horn. And GOD gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
1Ch 25:6 All these [were] under the hands of their father for song [in] the House of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps,
        for the service of the House of GOD, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
1Ch 25:7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, all that were skilful, was two hundred eighty eight.
1Ch 25:8 And they cast lots, ward against [ward], as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.

        Among these [were] the divisions of the porters, among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the House of the LORD.
1Ch 26:13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
1Ch 26:14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
1Ch 26:15 To Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.
1Ch 26:16 To Shuppim and Hosah [the lot came forth] westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway, ward against ward.

        and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army, had dedicated.

1Ch 26:28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated;

1Ch 27:24 And 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.
1Ch 27:25 And over the king's treasures [was] Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the store-houses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the towers, [was] Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:

1Ch 27:33 And Ahithophel [was] the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite [was] the king's companion:
1Ch 27:34 and after Ahithophel [was] Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army [was] Joab.
1Ch 28:1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course,
        and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king,
        and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men to Jerusalem.
1Ch 28:2 Then David the king stood upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people:
        I [had] in my heart to build a house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD,
        and for the stool of His feet of our God, and had made ready for the building:
1Ch 28:3 but GOD said to me, Thou shall not build a house for My name, because Thou [have been] a man of war, and have shed blood.
1Ch 28:4 Yet the LORD, God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever:
        for He has 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 approved me to make me king over all Israel:
1Ch 28:5 and of all my sons, (for the LORD has given me many sons), He has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
1Ch 28:6 And He said to me, Solomon Thy son, He shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] My son, and I shall be his Father.
1Ch 28:7 And I shall establish His Kingdom forever, if He shall be constant to do My Commandments and My Judgments, as at this day.
1Ch 28:8 And now 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 sons after you forever.
1Ch 28:9 And Thou, Solomon my son, know Thou the God of Thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing soul:
        for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts:
        if Thou shall seek Him, He shall be found of Thee; but if Thou shall forsake Him, He shall cast Thee off forever.
1Ch 28:10 Take heed now; for the LORD has chosen Thee to build a house for the Sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].
1Ch 28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses of it, and of its treasures, and of its upper rooms, and of its inner parlours, and of the place of the mercy-seat,
1Ch 28:12 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 around, of the treasures of the House of GOD, and over the treasures of the Holy things:
1Ch 28:13 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.
1Ch 28:14 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:
1Ch 28:15 even the weight for the lampstands of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every lampstand, and for its lamps: and for the lampstands of silver by weight,
        [both] for the lampstand, and [also] for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand.
1Ch 28:16 And by weight he [gave] gold for the tables of show-bread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver:
1Ch 28:17 also pure gold for the flesh-hooks, 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:
1Ch 28:18 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.
1Ch 28:19 All [was] in writing from the hand of the LORD. He caused me to understand all the work of the pattern.
1Ch 28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed, for the LORD GOD, my God, [shall be] with Thee. He shall not fail Thee, nor forsake Thee,
        until Thou have finished all the work for the service of the House of the LORD.
1Ch 28:21 And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, [even they shall be with Thee] for all the service of the House of GOD: and [there shall be] with Thee for all manner of workmanship every willing with wisdom,
        for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [shall be] wholly at Thy command.
1Ch 29:1 And David the king said to all the Congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone GOD has chosen, [is yet] young and tender, and the work [is] great: for the palace [is] not for man, but for the LORD GOD.
1Ch 29:2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the House of my God the gold for [things to he made] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and the copper for [things] of copper, the iron for [things] of iron,
        and wood for [things] of wood; beryl stones, and [stones] to be set, glittering stones, and of diverse colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
1Ch 29:3 And because I have set my affection to the House of my God, I have of my own possessions, of gold and silver, [which] I have given to the House of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the Holy house,
1Ch 29:4 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses:
1Ch 29:5 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 to the LORD?
1Ch 29:6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king's work, offered willingly,
1Ch 29:7 and gave for the service of the House of GOD of gold five thousand talents and myriad drams, and of silver myriad talents, and of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and hundred thousand talents of iron.
1Ch 29:8 And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave [them] to the treasury of the House of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
1Ch 29:9 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.

1Ch 29:10 {And David Blessed}.
        Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the Congregation: and David said,
        Blessed [be] Thou, LORD, God of Israel our father, from everlasting to everlasting!
1Ch 29:11 Thy, LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty:
        for all [that is] in the Heaven and on the Earth [is Thy]; Thy [is] the Kingdom,
        LORD, and Thou are exalted as head above all;
1Ch 29:12 both the riches and the honour [come] from Thee, and Thou reign over all;
        and in Thy hand [is] power and might; and in Thy hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength to all.
1Ch 29:13 And now, our God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy glorious name.
1Ch 29:14 But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort?
        For all [things come] from Thee, and of Thy own have we given Thee.
1Ch 29:15 For we [are] strangers before Thee, and sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the Earth [are] as a shadow, and [there is] no abiding.
1Ch 29:16 LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build Thee a house for Thy Holy name [comes] from Thy hand, and [is] all Thy own.
1Ch 29:17 I know also, my God, that Thou search the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these [things]:
        and now have I seen with joy Thy people,
        who are present here, to offer willingly to Thee.
1Ch 29:18 LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Thy people, and prepare their heart to Thee:
1Ch 29:19 and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep Thy Commandments, Thy Testimonies, and Thy Statutes, and to do all, and to build the palace, [for] which I have made provision.
1Ch 29:20 And David said to all the Congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the Congregation blessed the LORD, God of their fathers, and bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD, and the king.
1Ch 29:21 And they sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings to the LORD, on the morrow after that day, a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, [and] a thousand lambs,
        with their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
1Ch 29:22 And ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him to the LORD [to be] the chief governor, and Zadok [to be] priest.
1Ch 29:23 Then Solomon sat upon the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
1Ch 29:24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king.
1Ch 29:25 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.
1Ch 29:26 And David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
1Ch 29:27 And the time that he reigned over Israel [was] forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty three [years] he reigned in Jerusalem.
1Ch 29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
1Ch 29:29
        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,
1Ch 29:30 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.

2Ch 1:1 [Scroll 22 Chronicles 2/2].
        And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom,
        and the LORD his God [was] with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2Ch 1:2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
2Ch 1:3 And 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.
2Ch 1:4 But the Ark of GOD David had brought up from Kirjath-jearim to [the place which] David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
2Ch 1:5 And the bronze 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 to it.
2Ch 1:6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze Altar before the LORD, which [was] at the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
2Ch 1:7 In that night GOD appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give Thee.
2Ch 1:8 And Solomon said to GOD, Thou have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me to reign in his stead.
2Ch 1:9
        Now, LORD GOD, let Thy promise to David my father be established: for Thou have made me king over a people like the dust of the Earth in multitude.
2Ch 1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this Thy great people?
2Ch 1:11 And GOD said to Solomon, Because this was in Thy heart, and Thou have not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the soul of Thy enemies, neither yet have asked long life;
        but have asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that Thou may judge my people, over whom I have made Thee king:
2Ch 1:12 the wisdom and the knowledge [are] granted to Thee; and I shall give Thee riches, and wealth, and honour,
        such as none of the kings have had that [have been] before Thee, neither shall there any after Thee have the like.
2Ch 1:13 Then Solomon came to the high place that [was] at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and reigned over Israel.
2Ch 1:14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

2Ch 1:15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem [as plenteous] as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamore-trees that [are] in the valley for abundance.
2Ch 1:16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
2Ch 1:17 And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred fifty:
        and so they brought out [horses] for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
2Ch 2:1 And Solomon determined to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.

2Ch 2:2 And Solomon numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.
2Ch 2:3 And Solomon sent to Huram{Hiram} the king of Tyre, saying, As Thou did deal with David my father, and did send him cedars to build him a house to dwell in it, [even so deal with me].
2Ch 2:4 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 show-bread,
        and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the New Moons, and on the solemn Festivals of the LORD our God.
        This [is an ordinance] forever to Israel.
2Ch 2:5 And the house which I build [is] great: for great [is] our God above all GODS.
2Ch 2:6 But who is able to build Him a house, seeing the Heaven and Heavens of Heavens cannot contain Him?
        Who [am] I then that I should build Him a house, except only to burn sacrifice before Him?
2Ch 2:7 Send me now therefore a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue,
        and that has skill to grave with the skilful men that [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
2Ch 2:8 Send me also cedar trees, fir-trees, and algum-trees out of Lebanon:
        for I know that Thy servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and behold, my servants [shall be] with Thy servants,
2Ch 2:9 even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I [am] about to build [shall be] great and wonderful.
2Ch 2:10 And behold, I shall give to Thy servants, the hewers that cut timber,
        twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand cors of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
2Ch 2:11 And Huram{Hiram} the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon,
        Because the LORD loves His people, He has made Thee king over them.
2Ch 2:12 And Huram{Hiram} said, Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel, who made the Heaven and the Earth,
        who has given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding,
        that may build a House for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom!
2Ch 2:13 And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, of Huram{Hiram} my father's,
2Ch 2:14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father [was] a man of Tyre,
        skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson;
        also to engrave any manner of engraving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with Thy skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David Thy father.
2Ch 2:15 And now the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants;
2Ch 2:16 and we shall cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as Thou shall need: and we shall bring it to Thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and Thou may convey it to Jerusalem.
2Ch 2:17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that [were] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them;
        and they were found a hundred fifty thousand three thousand six hundred{153600}.
2Ch 2:18 And he set seventy thousand of them [to be] bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand [to be] hewers in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people to work.

2Ch 3:1 Then Solomon began to build the House of the LORD at Jerusalem in Mount Moriah, where He appeared to David his father,
        in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2Ch 3:2 And he began to build in the second [day] of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
2Ch 3:3 And these [are the things in which] Solomon was instructed for the building of the House of GOD.
        The length by cubits after the first measure [was] sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
2Ch 3:4 And the porch that [was] in the front, the length [of it was] according to the breadth of the House, twenty cubits,
        and the height [was] twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
2Ch 3:5 And the greater house he covered with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm-trees and chains.
2Ch 3:6 And he overlaid the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold [was] gold of Parvaim.
2Ch 3:7 And he overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls of it, and the doors of it, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.
2Ch 3:8 And he made the house of the Holy of Holies, the length of which [was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits:
        and he overlaid it with fine gold, [amounting] to six hundred talents.
2Ch 3:9 And the weight of the nails [was] fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper rooms with gold.
2Ch 3:10 And in the house of the Holy of Holies he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
2Ch 3:11 And the wings of the cherubim [were] twenty cubits long: one wing [of the one cherub was] five cubits,
        reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was likewise] five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
2Ch 3:12 And [one] wing of the other cherub [was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was] five cubits [also], joining to the wing of the other cherub.
2Ch 3:13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces [were] inward.
2Ch 3:14 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim upon it.
2Ch 3:15 And he made before the house two pillars of thirty five cubits high, and the capital that [was] on the top of each of them [was] five cubits.
2Ch 3:16 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.
2Ch 3:17 And he erected the pillars before the Temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left;
        and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin{establish}, and the name of that on the left Boaz{fleetness}. [1Ki 7:21]
2Ch 4:1 And he made an Altar of bronze, twenty cubits the length of it, and twenty cubits the breadth of it, and ten cubits the height of it.
2Ch 4:2 And he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round, and its height [was] five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits all around.
2Ch 4:3 And under it [was] the similitude of oxen{knobs}, which surround it: ten in a cubit, surrounding the sea. Two rows of oxen{knobs} [were] cast, when it was cast. [1Ki 7:24]
2Ch 4:4 It stood upon twelve oxen,
        three looking towards the north,
        and three looking towards the west,
        and three looking towards the south,
        and three looking towards the east:
        and the sea [was set] above upon them,
        and all their hinder parts [were] inward.
2Ch 4:5 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.
2Ch 4:6 And 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.
2Ch 4:7 And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their form, and set [them] in the Temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
2Ch 4:8 And 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.
2Ch 4:9 And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with bronze.
2Ch 4:10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, opposed to the south.
2Ch 4:11 And Huram{Hiram} made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram{Hiram} finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the House of GOD;
2Ch 4:12 the two pillars, and the pommels, and the capitals [which were] on the top of the two pillars,
        and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the capitals which [were] on the top of the pillars.
2Ch 4:13 Four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath,
        to cover the two pommels of the capitals which [were] upon the pillars.
2Ch 4:14 And he made also bases, and lavers he made upon the bases;
2Ch 4:15 one sea, and twelve oxen under it.
2Ch 4:16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all their instruments,
        did Huram{Hiram} his father make to king Solomon for the House of the LORD of bright bronze.
2Ch 4:17 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
2Ch 4:18 And Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.
2Ch 4:19 And Solomon made all the vessels that [were for] the House of GOD, the golden Altar also, and the tables on which the show-bread [was set];
2Ch 4:20 moreover, the lampstands with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the Oracle, of pure gold;
2Ch 4:21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, [made he of] gold, [and] that perfect gold;
2Ch 4:22 and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the Holy of Holies,
        and the doors of the house of the Temple, [were of] gold.

2Ch 5:1 So was ended all the work that Solomon made for the House of the LORD.
        And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated;
        and the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, he put among the treasures of the House of GOD.
2Ch 5:2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem,
        to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD from the city of David, which [is] Zion.
2Ch 5:3 Therefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king in the Festival which [was] in the seventh month.
2Ch 5:4 And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the Ark.
2Ch 5:5 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.
2Ch 5:6 Also king Solomon, and all the Congregation of Israel that were assembled to him before the Ark,
        sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
2Ch 5:7 And the priests brought in the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD to its place,
        to the Oracle of the House, into the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim:
2Ch 5:8 for the cherubim spread forth [their] wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubim covered the Ark, and the staffs of it above.
2Ch 5:9 And they drew out the staffs, that the ends of the staffs were seen from the Ark before the Oracle;
        but they were not seen outside. And there it is to this day.
2Ch 5:10 [There was] nothing in the Ark except the two tablets which Moses put [in it] at Horeb,
        when the LORD made [a Covenant] with the sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
2Ch 5:11
        And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the Holy [place]: (for all the priests [that were] present were sanctified, [and] did not [then] wait by course:
2Ch 5:12 also the Levites [who were] the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren;
        [being] arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps,
        stood at the east end of the Altar, and with them a hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets).
2Ch 5:13 And it came 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,
        for [He is] good:
        for His mercy [endures] forever:
        that [then] the house was filled with a cloud, the House of the LORD;
2Ch 5:14 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.

2Ch 6:1 Then said Solomon, The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
2Ch 6:2 But I have built a house of habitation for Thee, and a place for Thy dwelling forever.
2Ch 6:3 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel: and all the Congregation of Israel were standing.
2Ch 6:4 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to David my father, and has with His hand fulfilled [it], saying,
2Ch 6:5 Since the day that I brought forth My people from the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that My name might be there;
        neither chose I any man to be a ruler over My people Israel!
2Ch 6:6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name might be there; and have chosen David to be over My people Israel.
2Ch 6:7 And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, God of Israel.
2Ch 6:8 But the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in Thy heart to build a house for My name, Thou did well that it was in Thy heart;
2Ch 6:9 but Thou shall not build the house; but Thy son who shall come forth out of Thy loins, he shall build the house for My name.
2Ch 6:10 The LORD therefore has performed His word that He has spoken; for I [am] raised up in the room of David my father, and [am] set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD has spoken,
        and have built the house for the name of the LORD, God of Israel.
2Ch 6:11 And in it have I put the Ark, in which [is] the Covenant of the LORD, that He made with the sons of Israel.
2Ch 6:12 And he stood before the Altar of the LORD in the presence of all the Congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
2Ch 6:13 (for Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court: and upon it he stood,
        and kneeled upon his knees before all the Congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards Heaven);
2Ch 6:14 and said, LORD, God of Israel, [there is] no GOD like Thee in the Heaven, and on the Earth; who keep Covenant, and [show] mercy to Thy servants, that walk before Thee with all their hearts:
2Ch 6:15 Who have kept with Thy servant David my father that which Thou did promise him: Thou did speak also with Thy mouth, and have fulfilled [it] with Thy hand, as [it is] this day.
2Ch 6:16 And now, LORD, God of Israel, keep with Thy servant David my father that which Thou have promised him,
         saying, There shall not fail Thee a man in My sight to sit upon the throne of Israel;
        provided Thy sons take heed to their way to walk in My Law, as Thou have walked before me.
2Ch 6:17 Now then, LORD, God of Israel, let Thy word be verified, which Thou have spoken to Thy servant David.
2Ch 6:18 But shall GOD indeed dwell with men on the Earth?
         Behold, Heaven and the Heavens of Heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this house which I have built!
2Ch 6:19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and the prayer which Thy servant prays before Thee:
2Ch 6:20 that Thy eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place of which Thou have said, that Thou would put Thy name there; to listen to the prayer which Thy servant prays towards this place.
2Ch 6:21 Listen therefore to the supplications of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they shall make towards this place: hear Thou from Thy dwelling-place, from Heaven; and when Thou hear, forgive.
2Ch 6:22 If a man shall sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath shall come before Thy Altar in this house;
2Ch 6:23 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.
2Ch 6:24 And if Thy people Israel shall 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;
2Ch 6:25 then hear Thou from the Heavens, and forgive the sin of Thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which Thou gave to them and to their fathers.
2Ch 6:26 When the Heaven is shut, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against Thee;
         if they pray towards this place, and confess Thy name, and turn from their sin, when Thou afflict them;
2Ch 6:27 then hear Thou in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel,
        when Thou have taught them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon Thy land, which Thou have given to Thy people for an inheritance.
2Ch 6:28 If there shall be in the land famine,
         if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars;
         if their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land;
         whatever calamity, or whatever sickness [there shall be]:
2Ch 6:29 whatever prayer, whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all the people of Israel,
         when every one shall know his own plague, and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
2Ch 6:30 then hear Thou from Heaven Thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart Thou know (for Thou only know the hearts of the sons of men).
2Ch 6:31 That they may fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, so long as they live in the land which Thou gave to our fathers.
2Ch 6:32 And concerning the stranger, who is not of Thy people Israel,
         but has come from a distant country for Thy great name's sake, and Thy mighty hand,
        and Thy out-stretched arm; if they come and pray in this house;
2Ch 6:33 then hear Thou from the Heavens, from Thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to Thee for; that all peoples of the Earth may know Thy name, and fear Thee, as [do] Thy people Israel,
        and may know that this house which I have built is called by Thy name;
2Ch 6:34 if Thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that Thou shall send them, and they pray to Thee towards this city which Thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for Thy name;
2Ch 6:35 then hear Thou from the Heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
2Ch 6:36 If they sin against Thee, (for [there is] no man who sins not), and Thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before [their] enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;
2Ch 6:37 yet [if] they turn their heart back in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray to Thee in the land of their captivity,
        saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
2Ch 6:38 if they return to Thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captives, and pray towards their land which Thou gave to their fathers,
        and [towards] the city which Thou have chosen, and towards the house which I have built for Thy name:
2Ch 6:39 then hear Thou from the Heavens, from Thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Thy people who have sinned against Thee.
2Ch 6:40 Now, my God, let, I beseech Thee, Thy eyes be open, and [let] Thy ears [be] attentive to the prayer [that is made] in this place.
2Ch 6:41 And now arise, LORD GOD, into Thy resting-place, Thou, and the Ark of Thy strength: let Thy priests, LORD GOD, be clothed with Salvation, and let Thy Saints rejoice in goodness.
2Ch 6:42 LORD GOD, turn not away the face of Thy anointed: remember the mercies of David Thy servant.

2Ch 7:1 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.
2Ch 7:2 And the priests could not enter into the House of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's House.
2Ch 7:3 And when all the sons 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 worshiped, and praised the LORD,
        for [He is] good:
        for His mercy [endures] forever.
2Ch 7:4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
2Ch 7:5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty two thousand oxen, and a hundred twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the House of GOD.
2Ch 7:6 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,
        for His mercy [endures] forever,
        when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

2Ch 7:7 And 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 bronze Altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offerings, and the food-offerings, and the fat.
2Ch 7:8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the Festival seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great Congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt.
2Ch 7:9 And on the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the Altar seven days, and the Festival seven days.
2Ch 7:10 And on the twenty third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel His people.
2Ch 7:11 And 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.
2Ch 7:12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard Thy prayer, and have chosen this place to Myself for a house of sacrifice;
2Ch 7:13 if I shut up Heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the grasshoppers to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people;
2Ch 7:14 if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then shall I hear from Heaven, and shall forgive their sin, and shall heal their land.
2Ch 7:15 Now My eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer [that is made] in this place.
2Ch 7:16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever: and My eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
2Ch 7:17 And as for Thee, if Thou shall walk before me, as David Thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded Thee, and shall observe My Statutes and My Judgments;
2Ch 7:18 then I shall establish the throne of Thy kingdom, according as I have Covenanted with David Thy father, saying, There shall not fail Thee a man [to be] ruler in Israel.
2Ch 7:19 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;
2Ch 7:20 then shall 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, shall I cast out of My sight, and shall make it [to be] a proverb and a by-word among all nations.
2Ch 7:21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passes by it; so that he shall say, Why has the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house?
2Ch 7:22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD, God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other GODS, and worshiped them,
        and served them: therefore has he brought all this evil upon them.

2Ch 8:1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the House of the LORD, and his own house,
2Ch 8:2 that the cities which Huram{Hiram} had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the sons of Israel to dwell there.
2Ch 8:3 And Solomon went to Hamath-Zobah, and prevailed against it.
2Ch 8:4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
2Ch 8:5 And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
2Ch 8:6 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.
2Ch 8:7 [As for] all the people [that were] left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who [were] not of Israel,
2Ch 8:8 [but] of their sons, who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
2Ch 8:9 But of the sons 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.
2Ch 8:10 And these [were] the chief of king Solomon's officers, two hundred fifty, that bore rule over the people.
2Ch 8:11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the city of David to the house that he had built for her: for he said, my wife shall not dwell in the House of David king of Israel,
        because [the places are] Holy, to which the Ark of the LORD has come.
2Ch 8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings to the LORD on the Altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
2Ch 8:13 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 Festivals, three times in the year,
        in the Festival of Unleavened [Bread], and in the Festival of Weeks{Pentecost}, and in the Festival of Tabernacles.
2Ch 8:14 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 [was] the commandment of David the man of God.
2Ch 8:15 And they departed not from the Commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
2Ch 8:16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the foundation of the House of the LORD, and until it was finished. [So] the House of the LORD was perfected.
2Ch 8:17 Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea-side in the land of Edom.
2Ch 8:18 And Huram{Hiram} sent to him by the hand 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 fifty talents of gold, and brought [them] to king Solomon.

2Ch 9:1 {Queen of Sheba}.
        And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon,
        she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem,
        with a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones:
        and when she had come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2Ch 9:2 And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
2Ch 9:3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
2Ch 9:4 and the provisions of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers,
        and their apparel; his cup-bearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the House of the LORD;
        there was no more spirit in her.
2Ch 9:5 And she said to the king, [It was] a true report that I heard in My own land of Thy acts and of Thy wisdom.
2Ch 9:6 Yet, I believed not their words, until I came, and My eyes had seen:
        and behold, the one half of the greatness of Thy wisdom was not told to me: [for] Thou exceed the report that I heard.
2Ch 9:7 Happy [are] Thy men, and happy [are] these Thy servants, who stand continually before Thee, and hear Thy wisdom.
2Ch 9:8 Be blessed the LORD Thy God, who delighted in Thee to set Thee on his throne, [to be] king for the LORD Thy God:
        because Thy God loves Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made Thee king over them, to do judgment and justice!
2Ch 9:9 And she gave the king a hundred twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones:
        neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

2Ch 9:10 And the servants also of Huram{Hiram}, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum-trees and precious stones.
2Ch 9:11 And the king made of the algum-trees terraces to the House of the LORD, and to the king's house,
        and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
2Ch 9:12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides [that] which she had brought to the king.
        So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
2Ch 9:13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty six talents of gold;
2Ch 9:14 besides [that which] traders and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
2Ch 9:15 And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one shield.
2Ch 9:16 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.
2Ch 9:17 And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
2Ch 9:18 And [there were] six steps to the throne, with a stool of gold, [which were] fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting-place, and two lions standing by the stays:
2Ch 9:19 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.
2Ch 9:20 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] anything accounted of in the days of Solomon.
2Ch 9:21 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram{Hiram}: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
2Ch 9:22 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the Earth in riches and in wisdom.
2Ch 9:23 And all the kings of the Earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that GOD had put in his heart.
2Ch 9:24 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
2Ch 9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

2Ch 9:26 And he reigned over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
2Ch 9:27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made as the sycamore-trees that [are] in the valley, for abundance.
2Ch 9:28 And they brought to Solomon horses from Egypt, and from all lands.
2Ch 9:29 And 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?
2Ch 9:30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
2Ch 9:31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

2Ch 10:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem had all Israel come to make him king.
2Ch 10:2
        And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who [was] in Egypt,
        where he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard [it], that Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
2Ch 10:3 And they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
2Ch 10:4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease Thou the grievous service of Thy father,
        and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we shall serve Thee.
2Ch 10:5 And he said to them, Come back to me after three days. And the people departed.
2Ch 10:6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived,
        and said, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
2Ch 10:7 And they spoke to him, saying, If Thou shall be kind to this people,
        and please them, and speak good words to them, they shall be Thy servants forever.
2Ch 10:8 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.
2Ch 10:9 And he said to them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me,
         saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that Thy father put upon us?
2Ch 10:10 And the young men that were brought up with him, spoke to him, saying,
        Thus shall Thou answer the people that spoke to Thee, saying,
        Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make Thou [it] somewhat lighter for us;
        thus shall Thou say to them, my little [finger], shall be thicker than my father's loins.
2Ch 10:11 For now my father put a heavy yoke upon you,
        and I shall put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips,
        but I [shall chastise you] with scorpions.
2Ch 10:12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day,
        as the king had spoken, saying, Come back to me on the third day.
2Ch 10:13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
2Ch 10:14 and answered them after the counsel of the young men,
        saying, my father made your yoke heavy, but I shall add to it; my father chastised you with whips,
        but I [shall chastise you] with scorpions.
2Ch 10:15 So the king listened not to the people: for the cause was of GOD, that the LORD might perform His word,
        which He spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
2Ch 10:16 And all Israel [saw] that the king would not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying,
        What portion have we in David?
        And [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse:
        every man to your tents, Israel: [and] now, David,
        see to Thy own house.
        So all Israel went to their tents.
2Ch 10:17 But [as for] the sons of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
2Ch 10:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that [was] over the tribute; and the sons of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died.
        But king Rehoboam made speed to get into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
2Ch 10:19 And Israel rebelled against the House of David to this day.

2Ch 11:1 And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the House of Judah and Benjamin a hundred eighty thousand chosen [men] who were warriors,
        to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam.
2Ch 11:2 Then came the word of the LORD to Shemaiah the man of GOD, saying,
2Ch 11:3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
2Ch 11:4 Thus says the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done by me.
        And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
2Ch 11:5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
2Ch 11:6 And he built Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
2Ch 11:7 and Beth-zur, and Shocho, and Adullam,
2Ch 11:8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
2Ch 11:9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
2Ch 11:10 and Zorah, and Ajalon, and Hebron, which [are] in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
2Ch 11:11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of provisions, and of oil and wine.
2Ch 11:12 And from city to city he [put] shields and pikes, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
2Ch 11:13 And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all Israel resorted to him from all their borders.
2Ch 11:14 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 to the LORD:
2Ch 11:15 and he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the goats, and for the calves which he had made.
2Ch 11:16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD, God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD, God of their fathers.
2Ch 11:17 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.
2Ch 11:18 And Rehoboam took to himself Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David for a wife, [and] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
2Ch 11:19 who bore him sons, Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
2Ch 11:20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; who bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
2Ch 11:21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines:
        (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines; and begot twenty eight sons, and sixty daughters).
2Ch 11:22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, [to be] ruler among his brethren: for he [thought] to make him king.
2Ch 11:23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city:
        and he gave them provisions in abundance. And he desired many wives.
2Ch 12:1
        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.
2Ch 12:2 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,
2Ch 12:3 with thousand two hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people [were] without number that came with him out of Egypt;
        the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Cushites.
2Ch 12:4 And he took the fortified cities which [pertained] to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

2Ch 12:5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and [to] the princes of Judah,
        that were assembled at Jerusalem because of Shishak,
        and said to them, Thus says the LORD,
        Ye have forsaken Me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
2Ch 12:6 Upon which the princes of Israel, and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD [is] righteous.
2Ch 12:7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah,
        saying, They have humbled themselves; [therefore] I shall not destroy them, but I shall grant them some deliverance;
        and My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
2Ch 12:8 For they shall be his servants; that they may know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
2Ch 12:9 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.
2Ch 12:10 Instead of which, king Rehoboam made shields of bronze, and committed [them] to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.
2Ch 12:11 And when the king entered into the House of the LORD, the guard came and conveyed them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
2Ch 12:12 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.
2Ch 12:13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam [was] forty one years old when he began to reign,
        and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem,
        (the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there).
        And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.
2Ch 12:14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
2Ch 12:15 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.
2Ch 12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

2Ch 13:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2Ch 13:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name also [was] Michaiah{depression: Maachah} the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.
        And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
2Ch 13:3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, four hundred thousand chosen men:
        Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, [being] mighty men of valour.
2Ch 13:4 And Abijah stood upon Mount Zemaraim, which [is] in Mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
2Ch 13:5 ought ye not to know that the LORD, God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, to him and to his sons by a Covenant of salt?
2Ch 13:6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat the servant of Solomon the son of David, has risen up, and has rebelled against his lord.
2Ch 13:7 And there are gathered to him vain men, the sons of Belial, and [they] have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon,
        when Rehoboam was young and tender of heart, and could not withstand them.
2Ch 13:8 And now ye think to withstand the Kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David;
        and ye [are] a great multitude, and [there are] with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for GODS.
2Ch 13:9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made for you priests after the manner of the nations of [other] lands?
        So that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, [the same] may be a priest of [them that are] no GODS.
2Ch 13:10 But as for us, the LORD [is] our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests, who minister to the LORD, [are] the sons of Aaron, and the Levites [wait] upon [their] business:
2Ch 13:11 and they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense: the show-bread also [they set in order] upon the pure table;
        and the lampstand of gold with its lamps to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken Him.
2Ch 13:12 And behold, GOD Himself [is] with us for [our] chief, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you.
        Sons of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD, God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
2Ch 13:13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush [was] behind them.
2Ch 13:14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle [was] before and behind: and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
2Ch 13:15 And the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted.
        And it came to pass, that GOD smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
2Ch 13:16 And the sons of Israel fled before Judah: and GOD delivered them into their hand.
2Ch 13:17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
2Ch 13:18 And the sons of Israel were brought under at that time, and the sons of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD, God of their fathers.
2Ch 13:19 And Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-El with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns;
2Ch 13:20 neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
2Ch 13:21 But Abijah became mighty, and took fourteen wives, and begot twenty two sons, and sixteen daughters.
2Ch 13:22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, [are] written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
2Ch 14:1 And 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.

2Ch 14:2 And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
2Ch 14:3 for he took away the Altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim:
2Ch 14:4 and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the Commandment.
2Ch 14:5 And he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
2Ch 14:6 And he built fortified cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
2Ch 14:7 Therefore he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about [them] walls, and towers, gates, and bars, [while] the land [is] yet before us;
        because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. So they built, and prospered.
2Ch 14:8 And Asa had an army that bore shields and pikes, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin,
        that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred eighty thousand: all these [were] mighty men of valour.
2Ch 14:9 And there came out against them Zerah the Cushite, with a army of a thousand x thousand{1000000}, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah.
2Ch 14:10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathath at Mareshah.
2Ch 14:11 And Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said,
        LORD, [it is] nothing with Thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us,
        LORD our God; for we rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go against this multitude.
        LORD, Thou [are] our God; let not man prevail against Thee.
2Ch 14:12 So the LORD smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites fled.
2Ch 14:13 And Asa and the people that [were] with him pursued them to Gerar: and the Cushites were overthrown,
        that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD,
        and before His Camp; and they carried away very much spoil.
2Ch 14:14 And they smote all the cities about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them:
        and they plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
2Ch 14:15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

2Ch 15:1 And the Spirit of GOD came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
2Ch 15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD [is] with you,
        while ye are with Him; and if ye seek Him, he shall be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, he shall forsake you.
2Ch 15:3 Now for many days Israel has [been] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
2Ch 15:4 But when they in their trouble returned to the LORD, God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.
2Ch 15:5 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.
2Ch 15:6 And nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city: for GOD troubled them with all adversity.
2Ch 15:7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak; for your work shall be rewarded.
2Ch 15:8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded the prophet, [2Ch 15:1]
        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.
2Ch 15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon:
        for they resorted to him out of Israel in multitudes, when they saw that the LORD his God [was] with him.
2Ch 15:10 So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
2Ch 15:11 And they offered to the LORD at the same time, of the spoil [which] they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
2Ch 15:12 And they entered into a Covenant to seek the LORD, God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
2Ch 15:13 that whoever would not seek the LORD, God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
2Ch 15:14 And they swore to the LORD with a great voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with shofars.
2Ch 15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire;
        and he was found by them: and the LORD gave them rest on all sides.
2Ch 15:16 And also [concerning] Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from [being] queen,
        because she had made an Asherah idol: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped [it], and burnt [it] at the brook Kidron.
2Ch 15:17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
2Ch 15:18 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.
2Ch 15:19 And there was no [more] war until the thirty fifth year of the reign of Asa.

2Ch 16:1 In the twenty sixth year of the reign of Asa: Baasha king of Israel came against Judah,
        and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. [1Ki 16:8]
2Ch 16:2 Then Asa brought 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,
2Ch 16:3 [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.
2Ch 16:4 And Ben-Hadad listened to 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.
2Ch 16:5
        And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [it], that he left off the building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
2Ch 16:6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah,
        and the timber of it, with which Baasha was building, and he built with it Geba and Mizpah.
2Ch 16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him,
        Because Thou have relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD Thy God,
        therefore has the army of the king of Syria escaped out of Thy hand.
2Ch 16:8 Were not the Cushites and the Lubim a numerous army, with very many chariots and horsemen?
        Yet, because Thou did rely on the LORD, He delivered them into Thy hand.
2Ch 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run back and forth throughout all the Earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart [is] perfect towards him.
        In this Thou have done foolishly: therefore from now on Thou shall have wars.
2Ch 16:10 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.
2Ch 16:11 And behold, the acts of Asa, first and last,
          behold, they [are] written in the Book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
2Ch 16:12 And Asa in the thirty ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet,
        until his disease [was] exceedingly [severe]: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
2Ch 16:13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty first year of his reign.
2Ch 16:14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres which he had dug for himself in the city of David,
        and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours,
        and diverse kinds [of spices] prepared by the art of perfumers:
        and they made a very great burning for him.

2Ch 17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2Ch 17:2 And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
2Ch 17:3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;
2Ch 17:4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in His Commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
2Ch 17:5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand: and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
2Ch 17:6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover, he took away the high places and Asherim out of Judah.
2Ch 17:7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, to Ben-Hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
2Ch 17:8 And with them he [sent] Levites, Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobiahu, and Tob-Adonijah, Levites;
        and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
2Ch 17:9 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.
2Ch 17:10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the countries that [were] around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
2Ch 17:11 Also [some] of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks,
        seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
2Ch 17:12 And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.
2Ch 17:13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, [were] in Jerusalem.
2Ch 17:14 And these [are] the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: of Judah, the captains of thousands;
        Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
2Ch 17:15 And next to him [was] Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand.
2Ch 17:16 And next to him [was] Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
2Ch 17:17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
2Ch 17:18 And next to him [was] Jehozabad, and with him a hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.
2Ch 17:19 These waited on the king, besides [those] whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
2Ch 18:1
        And Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
2Ch 18:2 And after [some] 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.
2Ch 18:3 And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Will Thou go with me to Ramoth-Gilead?
        And he answered him, I [am] as Thou [are], and My people as Thy people; and [we shall be] with Thee in the war.
2Ch 18:4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray Thee, at the word of the LORD today.
2Ch 18:5 And the king of Israel collected of prophets four hundred men,
        and said to them, Shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?
        And they said, Go up; for GOD shall deliver [it] into the king's hand.
2Ch 18:6 And Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may inquire of him?
2Ch 18:7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,
        [There is] yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him;
        for he never prophesies good to me, but always evil:
        the same [is] Micaiah the son of Imla.
         And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
2Ch 18:8 And the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten [here] Micaiah the son of Imla{Imlah}.
2Ch 18:9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat each of them on his throne,
        clothed in [their] robes, and they sat in a threshing-floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria;
        and all the prophets prophesied before them.
2Ch 18:10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said,
        Thus says the LORD, With these Thou shall push Syria until they be consumed.
2Ch 18:11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying,
        Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
2Ch 18:12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah, spoke to him, saying,
        Behold [now], the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one mouth:
        let Thy word, I pray Thee, be like one of theirs, and speak Thou good.
2Ch 18:13
        And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD lives, even what my God said, that shall I speak.
2Ch 18:14 And when he had come to the king, the king said to 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.
2Ch 18:15 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?
2Ch 18:16 Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd:
          and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
2Ch 18:17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,
         Did I not tell Thee [that] he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?
2Ch 18:18 And he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon His throne,
        and all the Army of Heaven standing on His right [hand] and on His left.
2Ch 18:19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?
        And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
2Ch 18:20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I shall entice him. And the LORD said to him, With what?
2Ch 18:21 And he said, I shall go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.
        And He said, Thou shall persuade [him], and Thou prevail also: go forth, and do so.
2Ch 18:22 And now, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these Thy prophets,
        and the LORD has spoken evil against Thee.
2Ch 18:23 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said,
        Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to Thee?
2Ch 18:24 And Micaiah said, Behold, Thou shall see on that day, when Thou shall go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
2Ch 18:25 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;
2Ch 18:26 and say, Thus says the king, Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
2Ch 18:27 And Micaiah said, If Thou return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Listen, all [ye] peoples.
2Ch 18:28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
2Ch 18:29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,
         I shall disguise myself, and shall go into the battle; but put Thou on Thy robes.
         So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
2Ch 18:30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that [were] with him, saying,
        Fight ye not with small or great, except only with the king of Israel.
2Ch 18:31
        And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said,
        It [is] the king of Israel. Therefore they surrounded about him to fight:
        but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and GOD moved them [to depart] from him.
2Ch 18:32
        And it came to pass, that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
2Ch 18:33 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 Thy hand, and carry me out of the camp; for I [am] wounded.
2Ch 18:34 And the battle increased that day: yet the king of Israel supported [himself] in [his] chariot against the Syrians until the evening: and about the time of the sun setting he died.
2Ch 19:1
        And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2Ch 19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat,
        Should Thou help the wicked, and love them that hate the LORD? Therefore [is] wrath upon Thee from before the LORD.
2Ch 19:3 Indeed there are good things found in Thee, in that Thou have taken away the Asheroth out of the land, and have prepared Thy heart to seek GOD.
2Ch 19:4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beer-Sheba to Mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the LORD, God of their fathers.
2Ch 19:5 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,
2Ch 19:6 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.
2Ch 19:7 Therefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do [it]: for [there is] no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons{favouritism}, nor taking of gifts.
2Ch 19:8 And 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.
2Ch 19:9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
2Ch 19:10 And whatever cause shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and Commandment, Statutes and Judgments,
        ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and [so] wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
2Ch 19:11 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.
2Ch 20:1
        And it came to pass after this also, [that] the sons of Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
        and with them [others] besides the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2Ch 20:2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat,
        saying, There comes a great multitude against Thee from beyond the sea on this side of Edom;
        and behold, they [are] in Hazazon-tamar, which [is] En-gedi.
2Ch 20:3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set his face to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
2Ch 20:4 And Judah assembled, to ask [help] of the LORD: even from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
2Ch 20:5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the Congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the House of the LORD, before the new court,
2Ch 20:6 and said, LORD, God of our fathers, [are] not Thou: GOD in Heaven? And rule Thou [not] over all the kingdoms of the heathen?
        And in Thy hand [is there not] power and might, so that none is able to withstand Thee?
2Ch 20:7 [Are] not Thou our God, [who] did drive out the inhabitants of this land before Thy people Israel,
        and give it to the seed of Abraham Thy friend forever?
2Ch 20:8 And they dwelt in it, and have built Thee a Sanctuary in it for Thy name, saying,
2Ch 20:9 If, [when] evil comes upon us, [as] the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in Thy presence,
        (for Thy name [is] in this house), and cry to Thee in our affliction, then Thou shall hear and help.
2Ch 20:10 And now, behold, the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom Thou would not let Israel invade,
        when they came from the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
2Ch 20:11 behold, [I say], [how] they reward us, to come to cast us out of Thy possession, which Thou have given us to inherit.
2Ch 20:12 Our God, shall Thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us;
        neither know we what to do: but our eyes [are] upon Thee.
2Ch 20:13 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their sons.
2Ch 20:14 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 middle of the Congregation.
2Ch 20:15 And he said, Listen ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and Thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus says the LORD to you,
        Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle [is] not yours, but of GOD.
2Ch 20:16 Tomorrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cleft of Ziz;
        and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
2Ch 20:17 Ye shall not [need] to fight in this [battle]: set yourselves, stand ye [still], and see the Salvation of the LORD with you,
        Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD [shall be] with you.
2Ch 20:18 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.
2Ch 20:19 And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, God of Israel with a great voice on high.
2Ch 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth,
        Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem;
        Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper.
2Ch 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers to the LORD,
        and that should praise the beauty of Holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say,
        {Song of Jehoshaphat}.
        Praise the LORD; for His mercy [endures] forever.
2Ch 20:22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes,
        against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir,
        who were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
2Ch 20:23 For the sons 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.
2Ch 20:24 And when Judah came towards the watch-tower in the wilderness, they looked to the multitude,
        and behold, they [were] carcasses fallen to the ground, and none escaped.
2Ch 20:25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them,
        they found among them in abundance both riches with the carcasses,
        and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away:
        and they were three days in gathering the spoil, it was so much.
2Ch 20:26 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 has been called, The valley of Berachah, to this day.
2Ch 20:27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the front of them,
        to go back to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
2Ch 20:28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets to the House of the LORD.
2Ch 20:29 And the fear of GOD was on all the kingdoms of [those] countries,
        when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
2Ch 20:30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest on all sides.
2Ch 20:31
        And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: [he was] thirty five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty five years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
2Ch 20:32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing right in the eyes of the LORD.
2Ch 20:33 But the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts to the God of their fathers.
2Ch 20:34 And 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.
2Ch 20:35 And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
2Ch 20:36 and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
2Ch 20:37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat,
        saying, Because Thou have joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD has broken Thy works.
        And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
2Ch 21:1 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David:
        and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

2Ch 21:2 And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, Shephatiah:
        all these [were] the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Judah.
2Ch 21:3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah:
        but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram; because he [was] the first-born.
2Ch 21:4 Now when Jehoram had risen to the kingdom of his father,
        he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and [diverse] also of the princes of Israel.
2Ch 21:5 Jehoram [was] thirty two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
2Ch 21:6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the House of Ahab:
        for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD.
2Ch 21:7 Yet the LORD would not destroy the House of David, because of the Covenant that He had made with David,
        and as He promised to give a Light to him and to his sons forever.
2Ch 21:8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made over themselves a king.
2Ch 21:9 Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose by night,
        and smote the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots.
2Ch 21:10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day.
        The same time [also] did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD, God of his fathers.
2Ch 21:11 And he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom, and compelled Judah [to do the same].
2Ch 21:12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says the LORD, God of David Thy father,
        Because Thou have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat Thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
2Ch 21:13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel,
        and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit idolatry, like the idolatries of the House of Ahab,
        and also have slain Thy brethren of Thy father's house, [who were] better than thyself.
2Ch 21:14 Behold, with a great plague shall the LORD smite Thy people, and Thy sons, and Thy wives, and all Thy goods:
2Ch 21:15 And Thou [shall have] great sickness by disease of Thy bowels, until Thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
2Ch 21:16 And the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that [were] near the Cushites.
2Ch 21:17 And they came up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house,
        and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was not a son left to him, except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
2Ch 21:18 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
2Ch 21:19
        And it came to pass, day after day, after the end of two times{years}, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of severe diseases.
        And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
2Ch 21:20 Thirty two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem, eight years, and departed without being desired:
        yet they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.

2Ch 22:1 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.
2Ch 22:2 Twenty two years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Athaliah the daughter of Omri. [2Ki 8:26 2Ch 22:1]
2Ch 22:3 He also walked in the ways of the House of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
2Ch 22:4 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD like the House of Ahab:
        for they were his counsellors, after the death of his father, to his destruction.
2Ch 22:5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram{Joram} the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
2Ch 22:6 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.
2Ch 22:7 And the destruction of Ahaziah was from GOD by coming to Joram: for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi,
        whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the House of Ahab.
2Ch 22:8 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.
2Ch 22:9 And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him,
        they buried him: Because, said they, he [is] the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.
        So the house of Ahaziah had no power to retain the kingdom.
2Ch 22:10 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.
2Ch 22:11 But Jehoshabeath{Jehosheba}, the daughter of the king, took Joash{Jehoash} the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bed-chambers.
        So Jehoshabeath{Jehosheba}, 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.
2Ch 22:12 And he was with them hid in the House of GOD six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.

2Ch 23:1 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.
2Ch 23:2 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.
2Ch 23:3 And all the Congregation made a Covenant with the king in the House of GOD.
        And he said to them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD has spoken of the sons of David.
2Ch 23:4 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;
2Ch 23:5 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.
2Ch 23:6 But let none come into the House of the LORD, except the priests, and they that minister of the Levites;
        they shall go in, for they [are] Holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
2Ch 23:7 And the Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand;
        and whoever [else] comes into the House, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out.
2Ch 23:8 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.
2Ch 23:9 And Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds, spears, and shields, and bucklers, that [had been] king David's, which [were] in the House of GOD.
2Ch 23:10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand,
        from the right side of the House to the left side of the House, along by the Altar and the House, by the king on all sides.
2Ch 23:11 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, Live the king!
2Ch 23:12 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:
2Ch 23:13 and she looked, and behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets by the king:
        and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets,
        also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise.
        Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason.
2Ch 23:14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the army,
        and said to them,
        Have her forth without the ranges: and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.
        For the priest said, Slay her not in the House of the LORD.
2Ch 23:15 So they laid hands on her; and when she had come to the entrance of the Horse Gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

2Ch 23:16 And Jehoiada made a Covenant between him, and between all the people,
        and between the king, that they should be the LORD's people.
2Ch 23:17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his Altars,
        and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the Altars.
2Ch 23:18 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, by the hands of David.
2Ch 23:19 And he set the porters at the gates of the House of the LORD, that none [who was] unclean in any thing should enter.
2Ch 23:20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people,
        and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the House of the LORD:
        and they came through the Upper Gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
2Ch 23:21 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: and they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

2Ch 24:1 Joash{Jehoash} [was] seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name also [was] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.
2Ch 24:2 And Joash{Jehoash} did right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
2Ch 24:3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begot sons and daughters.
2Ch 24:4
        And it came to pass after this, [that] Joash{Jehoash} was by heart to renew the House of the LORD.
2Ch 24:5 And he convened the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah,
        and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year,
        and see that ye hasten the matter. But the Levites hastened [it] not.
2Ch 24:6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him,
        Why have 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?
2Ch 24:7 For the sons of Athaliah that wicked woman, had broken up the House of GOD;
        and also all the dedicated things of the House of the LORD they bestowed upon Baalim.
2Ch 24:8 And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the House of the LORD.
2Ch 24:9 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.
2Ch 24:10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
2Ch 24:11 And it came to pass, that at the time the chest was brought to the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that [there was] much money,
        the king's scribe and the High Priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it back to its place.
        And they did day by day, and collected money in abundance.
2Ch 24:12 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 renew the House of the LORD,
        and also such as wrought iron and bronze to mend the House of the LORD.
2Ch 24:13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the House of GOD in its state, and strengthened it.
2Ch 24:14 And when they had finished [it], they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the House of the LORD, vessels to minister,
        and to offer [with], and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the House of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
2Ch 24:15 But Jehoiada grew old, and was full of days when he died; a hundred thirty years old [was he] when he died.
2Ch 24:16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both towards GOD, and towards his house.

2Ch 24:17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them.
2Ch 24:18 And they left the House of the LORD, God of their fathers, and served Asherim and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
2Ch 24:19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
2Ch 24:20 And the Spirit of GOD came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them,
        Thus says GOD, Why transgress ye the Commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper?
        Because ye have forsaken the LORD, he has also forsaken you.
2Ch 24:21 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.
2Ch 24:22 And Joash{Jehoash} the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, May the LORD look upon [it], and require [it].
2Ch 24:23
        And it came to pass at the turn of the year, [that] the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem,
        and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king of Damascus.
2Ch 24:24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand because they had forsaken the LORD, God of their fathers.
        So they executed judgment against Joash{Jehoash}.
2Ch 24:25 And when they had departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest,
        and slew him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
2Ch 24:26 And these [are] they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
2Ch 24:27 Now [concerning] his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the rebuilding of the House of GOD,
        behold, they [are] written in the story of the Book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

2Ch 25:1 Amaziah [was] twenty five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty nine years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2Ch 25:2 And he did right in the eyes of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
2Ch 25:3
        And it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
2Ch 25:4 But he killed not their sons, but [did] as it is written in the Law of the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying,
        The fathers shall not be killed for the sons, neither shall the sons be killed for the fathers: but [every] man shall be killed for his own sin. [Deu 24:16]
2Ch 25:5 And Amaziah assembled Judah, 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 pike and shield.
2Ch 25:6 He hired also a hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
2Ch 25:7 But there came a man of GOD to him, saying, king, let not the army of Israel go with Thee; for the LORD [is] not with Israel, [with] all the sons of Ephraim.
2Ch 25:8 But if Thou shall go, do [it], be strong for the battle: GOD shall make Thee fall before the enemy: for GOD has power to help, and to cast down.
2Ch 25:9 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.
2Ch 25:10 Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim,
        to go home: and their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
2Ch 25:11 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote of the sons of Seir ten thousand.
2Ch 25:12 And [other] ten thousand [left] alive the sons of Judah carried away captive, and brought them to the top of the rock,
        and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they were all broken in pieces.
2Ch 25:13 But the soldiers of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah,
        from Samaria even to Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
2Ch 25:14
        And it came to pass, after that Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the Gods of the sons of Seir,
        and set them up [to be] his GODS, and bowed himself before them, and burned incense to them.
2Ch 25:15 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him,
        Why have Thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of Thy hand?
2Ch 25:16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the king] said to him, Are Thou made of the king's council?
        Forbear? Why should Thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbore, and said,
        I know that GOD has determined to destroy Thee, because Thou have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.
2Ch 25:17 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.
2Ch 25:18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar that [was] in Lebanon,
        saying, Give Thy daughter to my son for a wife: and there passed by a wild animal that [was] in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle.
2Ch 25:19 Thou say, Behold, Thou have smitten the Edomites; and Thy heart lifts Thee up to boast: abide now at home;
        why should Thou meddle to [Thy] hurt, that Thou should fall, Thou, and Judah with Thee?
2Ch 25:20 But Amaziah would not hear; for it [came] from GOD, that He might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they sought after the gods of Edom.
2Ch 25:21 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, [both] he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which [belongs] to Judah.
2Ch 25:22 And Judah was defeated before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
2Ch 25:23 Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem,
        and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits.
2Ch 25:24 And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the House of GOD with Obed-Edom,
        and the treasures of the king's house, the armyages also, and returned to Samaria.
2Ch 25:25 And Amaziah the son of Joash{Jehoash} king of Judah, lived after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
2Ch 25:26 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last,
         behold, [are] they not written in the Book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
2Ch 25:27 Now after the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem;
        and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
2Ch 25:28 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

2Ch 26:1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who [was] sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2Ch 26:2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
2Ch 26:3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name also [was] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
2Ch 26:4 And he did right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
2Ch 26:5 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.
2Ch 26:6 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
2Ch 26:7 And GOD helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunim.
2Ch 26:8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad to the entrance of Egypt: for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
2Ch 26:9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, and at the Valley Gate, and at the turning [of the wall], and fortified them.
2Ch 26:10 And he built towers in the desert, and dig many wells: for he had many cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen,
        and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved farming.
2Ch 26:11 And Uzziah had an army 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, by the hand of Hananiah, [one] of the king's captains.
2Ch 26:12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour [were] two thousand six hundred.
2Ch 26:13 And under their hand [was] an army, three hundred thousand + seven thousand five hundred{307500}, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
2Ch 26:14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the army, shields, and pikes, and helmets, and breast-plates, and bows, and slings [to cast] stones.
2Ch 26:15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones.
        And his name spread far abroad; for he was helped in a wonderful manner, until he was strong.
2Ch 26:16 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.
2Ch 26:17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, [that were] valiant men:
2Ch 26:18 and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, [It appertains] not to Thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD,
        but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense:
        go out of the Sanctuary; for Thou have trespassed; neither [shall it be] for Thy honour from the LORD GOD.
2Ch 26:19 And 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.
2Ch 26:20 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; also, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
2Ch 26:21 And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, [being] a leper;
        for he was cut off from the House of the LORD: and Jotham his son [was] over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
2Ch 26:22 And the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last,
          were written by Isaiah, the son of Amos, the prophet.
2Ch 26:23 And 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.

2Ch 27:1 Jotham [was] twenty five years old when he began to reign and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name also [was] Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
2Ch 27:2 And he did right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done:
         yet, he entered not into the Temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
2Ch 27:3 He built the Upper Gate of the House of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
2Ch 27:4 And he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
2Ch 27:5 He fought also with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them.
        And the sons of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley.
        So much did the sons of Ammon pay to him, both the second year, and the third.
2Ch 27:6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
2Ch 27:7 And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, see, they [are] written in the Book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
2Ch 27:8 He was twenty five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
2Ch 27:9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

2Ch 28:1 Ahaz [was] twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem:
        but he did not right in the eyes of the LORD, like David his father.
2Ch 28:2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
2Ch 28:3 And he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his sons in the fire,
        after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the sons of Israel.
2Ch 28:4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
2Ch 28:5 Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him,
        and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought [them] to Damascus.
        And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
2Ch 28:6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred twenty thousand in one day, [who were] all valiant men;
        because they had forsaken the LORD, God of their fathers.
2Ch 28:7 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.
2Ch 28:8 And the sons of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters,
        and also took away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
2Ch 28:9 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name [was] Oded: and he went out before the army that came to Samaria,
        and said to them, Behold, because the LORD, God of your fathers was wroth with Judah,
        He has delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage [that] reaches to Heavens.
2Ch 28:10 And now ye purpose to keep under the sons of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen to you:
        [but are there] not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
2Ch 28:11 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD [is] upon you.
2Ch 28:12 Then some of the heads of the sons of Ephraim,
        Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai,
        stood up against them that came from the war;
2Ch 28:13 and said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives here:
        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.
2Ch 28:14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the Congregation.
2Ch 28:15 And the men who were expressed by name arose, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them,
        and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them 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.
2Ch 28:16 At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
2Ch 28:17 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
2Ch 28:18 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 its villages, and Timnah with its villages, Gimzo also and its villages: and they dwelt there.
2Ch 28:19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Judah: for he made Judah naked, and greatly transgressed against the LORD.
2Ch 28:20 And Tilgath-Pilneser{Tiglath-Pileser} king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
2Ch 28:21 For Ahaz took away a portion from the House of the LORD, and from the House of the king, and of the princes,
        and gave [it] to the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
2Ch 28:22 And in the time of his distress he trespassed yet more against the LORD: this [is that] king Ahaz.
2Ch 28:23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which smote him:
        and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, [therefore] shall I sacrifice to them, that they may help me.
        But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
2Ch 28:24 And Ahaz collected the vessels of the House of GOD, and cut in pieces the vessels of the House of GOD,
        and shut up the doors of the House of the LORD, and he made for himself Altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
2Ch 28:25 And from city to city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other GODS, and provoked to anger the LORD, God of his fathers.
2Ch 28:26 And 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.
2Ch 28:27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem:
        but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hizkiah his son reigned in his stead.

2Ch 29:1 Hizkiah began to reign [when he was] twenty five years old, and he reigned twenty nine years in Jerusalem.
        And his mother's name [was] Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

2Ch 29:2 And he did right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
2Ch 29:3 He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the House of the LORD, and repaired them.
2Ch 29:4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the east street,
2Ch 29:5 and said to them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves,
        and sanctify the House of the LORD, God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the Holy [place].
2Ch 29:6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done 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.
2Ch 29:7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the Holy [place] to the God of Israel.
2Ch 29:8 And the wrath of the LORD has been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
2Ch 29:9 For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives [are] in captivity for this.
2Ch 29:10 Now [it is] in my heart to make a Covenant with the LORD, God of Israel, that His fierce wrath may turn away from us.
2Ch 29:11 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, and that ye should minister to Him, and burn incense.
2Ch 29:12 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:
2Ch 29:13 and of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
2Ch 29:14 and of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
2Ch 29:15 And they assembled their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king,
        by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the House of the LORD.
2Ch 29:16 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.
2Ch 29:17 Now they began on the first [day] of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of the LORD:
        so they sanctified the House of the LORD in eight days;
        and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
2Ch 29:18 Then they went in to Hizkiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the House of the LORD, and the Altar of burnt-offering,
        with all its vessels, and the show-bread table, with all its vessels.
2Ch 29:19 And all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression,
        have we prepared and sanctified, and behold, they [are] before the Altar of the LORD.
2Ch 29:20 Then Hizkiah the king rose early, and convened the city rulers, and went up to the House of the LORD.
2Ch 29:21 And they brought seven bulls, 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.
2Ch 29:22 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the Altar:
        likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the Altar:
        they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the Altar.
2Ch 29:23 And they brought forth the he-goats [for] the sin-offering before the king and the Congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
2Ch 29:24 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.
2Ch 29:25 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 by the hand of the LORD by the hand of His prophets.
2Ch 29:26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
2Ch 29:27 And Hizkiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the Altar. And when the burnt-offering began,
        the song of the LORD began [also] with the trumpets, and with the instruments [ordained] by the hand of David king of Israel.
2Ch 29:28 And all the Congregation worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: [and] all [this continued] until the burnt-offering was finished.
2Ch 29:29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshiped.
2Ch 29:30 And Hizkiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD,
        with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness,
        and they bowed their heads and worshiped.
2Ch 29:31 And Hizkiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the LORD,
        come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the House of the LORD.
        And the Congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a free heart, burnt-offerings.
2Ch 29:32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the Congregation brought, was seventy bulls, a hundred rams: [and] two hundred lambs:
        all these [were] for a burnt-offering to the LORD.
2Ch 29:33 And the consecrated things [were] six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
2Ch 29:34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings:
        therefore their brethren the Levites helped them, until 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.
2Ch 29:35 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.
2Ch 29:36 And Hizkiah rejoiced, and all the people, that GOD had prepared the people: for the thing was [done] suddenly.

2Ch 30:1 And Hizkiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh,
        that they should come to the House of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD, God of Israel.
2Ch 30:2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the Congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.
2Ch 30:3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently,
        neither had the people assembled themselves at Jerusalem.
2Ch 30:4 And the thing pleased the king and all the Congregation.
2Ch 30:5 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 to the LORD,
        God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done [it] of a long [time in the manner] as it was written.
2Ch 30:6 So the couriers 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 sons of Israel, turn back to the LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel,
        and he shall return to the remnant of you that have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.
2Ch 30:7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD, God of their fathers, [who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
2Ch 30:8 Now be ye not stiff-necked, as your fathers [were], [but] yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into His Sanctuary,
        which He has sanctified forever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.
2Ch 30:9 For if ye turn back to the LORD, your brethren and your sons [shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall return into this land:
        for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and shall not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return to him.
2Ch 30:10 So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even to Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
2Ch 30:11 Nevertheless some of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
2Ch 30:12 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.
2Ch 30:13 And there assembled at Jerusalem many people to keep the Festival of Unleavened [Bread] in the second month, a very great Congregation.
2Ch 30:14 And they arose and took away the Altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and all the Altars for incense they took away, and cast [them] into the brook Kidron.
2Ch 30:15 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.
2Ch 30:16 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] from the hand of the Levites.
2Ch 30:17 For [there were] many in the Congregation that were not sanctified:
        therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the Passovers for every one [that was] not clean, to sanctify [them] to the LORD.
2Ch 30:18 For a multitude of the people, many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves,
        yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it was written. But Hizkiah prayed for them, saying, May the good LORD pardon every one,
2Ch 30:19 [that] prepares his heart to seek GOD, the LORD, God of his fathers, though not [cleansed] according to the purification of the Sanctuary.
2Ch 30:20 And the LORD listened to Hizkiah, and healed the people.
2Ch 30:21 And the sons of Israel [that were] present at Jerusalem kept the Festival of Unleavened [Bread] seven days with great gladness:
        and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, [singing] with loud instruments to the LORD.
2Ch 30:22 And Hizkiah spoke to the heart of all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they ate throughout the Festival seven days,
        offering peace-offerings, and making confession to the LORD, God of their fathers.
2Ch 30:23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.
2Ch 30:24 For Hizkiah king of Judah gave to the Congregation a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep;
        and the princes gave to the Congregation a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep:
        and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
2Ch 30:25 And all the Congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the Congregation that came out of Israel,
        and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
2Ch 30:26 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.
2Ch 30:27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer ascended to His Holy dwelling-place, to Heaven.
2Ch 31:1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel [that were] present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the pillars in pieces, and cut down the Asherim,
        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 sons of Israel returned every man to his possession into their own cities.
2Ch 31:2 And Hizkiah 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 camps of the LORD.
2Ch 31:3 He [appointed] also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings,
        for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the Sabbaths, and for the New Moons, and for the set Festivals, as [it is] written in the Law of the LORD.
2Ch 31:4 And 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.
2Ch 31:5 And as soon as the Commandment came abroad,
         the sons of Israel brought in abundance the first-fruit of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey,
         and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all [things] they brought in abundantly.
2Ch 31:6 And the sons of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of Holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid [them] by heaps.
2Ch 31:7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished [them] in the seventh month.
2Ch 31:8 And when Hizkiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and His people Israel.
2Ch 31:9 Then Hizkiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
2Ch 31:10 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 has blessed His people; and that which is left [is] this great abundance.
2Ch 31:11 And Hizkiah commanded to prepare chambers in the House of the LORD; and they prepared [them],
2Ch 31:12 and brought in the offerings and the tithes, and the dedicated [things] faithfully: over which Conaniah the Levite [was] ruler, and Shimei his brother [was] the next.
2Ch 31:13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah,
        [were] overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, at the Commandment of Hizkiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the House of GOD.
2Ch 31:14 And Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the porter towards the east, [was] over the free-will-offerings of GOD, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most Holy things.
2Ch 31:15 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:
2Ch 31:16 besides their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, to every one that enters into the House of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
2Ch 31:17 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;
2Ch 31:18 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:
2Ch 31:19 also of the sons of Aaron the priests, [who were] in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, from city to city, the men that were expressed by name,
        to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were counted by genealogies among the Levites.
2Ch 31:20 And thus did Hizkiah throughout all Judah, and performed [that which was] good and right and truth before the LORD his God.
2Ch 31:21 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.

2Ch 32:1 After [these] things, and their establishment, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah,
        and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.
2Ch 32:2 And when Hizkiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
2Ch 32:3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which [were] outside the city: and they helped him.
2Ch 32:4 So there were assembled many people, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the middle of the land,
        saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?
2Ch 32:5 And he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised [it] up to the towers, and another wall outside,
        and repaired Millo [in] the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
2Ch 32:6 And he set captains of war over the people, and assembled them to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying,
2Ch 32:7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that [is] with him: for [there are] more with us than with him:
2Ch 32:8 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 Hizkiah king of Judah.
2Ch 32:9 After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem,
        (but he [himself laid siege] against Lachish, and all his power with him), to Hizkiah king of Judah, and to all Judah that [were] at Jerusalem, saying,
2Ch 32:10 Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, On what do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?
2Ch 32:11 Does not Hizkiah 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?
2Ch 32:12 Has not the same Hizkiah 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?
2Ch 32:13 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of [other] lands?
        Were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of my hand?
2Ch 32:14 Who [was there] among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver His people out of my hand,
        that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
2Ch 32:15 And now let not Hizkiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him:
        for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people out of my hand,
        and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?
2Ch 32:16 And his servants spoke yet [more] against the LORD GOD, and against His servant Hizkiah.
2Ch 32:17 He wrote also letters to rail at the LORD, God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying,
        As the gods of the nations of [other] lands have not delivered their people out of my hand,
        so shall not the God of Hizkiah deliver His people out of my hand.
2Ch 32:18 Then they cried with a great voice in the Jewish language to the people of Jerusalem that [were] on the wall,
        to affright them, and to fill them with consternation; that they might take the city.
2Ch 32:19 And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the Earth, the work of the hands of man.
2Ch 32:20 And for this [cause] Hizkiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to Heaven.
2Ch 32:21 And the LORD sent an Angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the rulers and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria.
        So he returned with shame of face to his own land.
        And when he had come into the house of his god, they that came forth from his own bowels slew him there with the sword.
2Ch 32:22 And the LORD saved Hizkiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all [others], and guided them on every side.
2Ch 32:23 And many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hizkiah king of Judah: so that from thenceforth he was magnified in the sight of all nations.
2Ch 32:24 In those days Hizkiah was sick and near to death, and he prayed to the LORD: and he spoke to him, and he gave him a sign.
2Ch 32:25 But Hizkiah rendered not back according to the benefit [done] to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
2Ch 32:26 And Hizkiah 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 Hizkiah.
2Ch 32:27 And Hizkiah had very great riches and honour: and he made himself treasures for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels:
2Ch 32:28 store-houses also for the increase of grain, and new wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.
2Ch 32:29 And he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for GOD had given him substance in great abundance.
2Ch 32:30 And Hizkiah himself stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David.
        And Hizkiah prospered in all his works.
2Ch 32:31 But in [the business of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was [done] in the land, GOD left him, to test him, that he might know all [that was] in his heart.
2Ch 32:32 And the rest of the acts of Hizkiah, 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.
2Ch 32:33 And Hizkiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chief of the sepulchres of the sons of David:
        and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

2Ch 33:1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty five years in Jerusalem.
2Ch 33:2 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, like the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the sons of Israel.
2Ch 33:3 For he built again the high places which Hizkiah his father had broken down; and he reared up Altars for Baalim, and made Asherim, and worshiped all the Army of Heaven, and served them.
2Ch 33:4 And he built Altars in the House of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall My name be forever.
2Ch 33:5 And he built Altars for all the Army of Heaven in the two courts of the House of the LORD.
2Ch 33:6 And he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed clouds, and used enchantments, and used sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with spiritists:
        He wrought much evil in the eyes of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.
2Ch 33:7 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, shall I put My name forever:
2Ch 33:8 neither shall I any more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; provided they shall 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.
2Ch 33:9 And Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the sons of Israel.
2Ch 33:10 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not listen.
2Ch 33:11 Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria,
        who took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with copper fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
2Ch 33:12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
2Ch 33:13 and prayed to Him: and He was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom.
        Then Manasseh knew that the LORD, He [is] GOD.
2Ch 33:14 Now after this, he built a wall outside the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the Fish Gate, and enclosed about Ophel,
        and raised it up very high, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
2Ch 33:15 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] outside the city.
2Ch 33:16 And he repaired the Altar of the LORD, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, God of Israel.
2Ch 33:17 Indeed the people sacrificed still in the high places, [yet] only to the LORD their God.
2Ch 33:18 And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD, God of Israel,
        behold, they [are written] in the Book of the kings of Israel.
2Ch 33:19 And his prayer also, and [how] He was entreated by him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherim and graven images,
        before he was humbled: behold, they [are] written among the sayings of the seers.
2Ch 33:20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

2Ch 33:21 Amon [was] twenty two years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
2Ch 33:22 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father:
        for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
2Ch 33:23 and humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more.
2Ch 33:24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
2Ch 33:25 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.

2Ch 34:1 Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty one years.
2Ch 34:2 And he did right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined [neither] to the right hand, nor to the left.
2Ch 34:3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places,
        and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images.
2Ch 34:4 And they broke down the Altars of Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images, that [were] on high above them, he cut down; and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images,
        he broke in pieces, and made dust [of them] and strewed [it] upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them.
2Ch 34:5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their Altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
2Ch 34:6 And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, with their mattocks around.
2Ch 34:7 And when he had broken down the Altars and the Asherim, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
2Ch 34:8 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.
2Ch 34:9 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 collected from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim,
        and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
2Ch 34:10 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 mend the House:
2Ch 34:11 even to the artificers and builders they gave [it], to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
2Ch 34:12 And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them [were] Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam,
        of the sons of the Kohathites, to superintend [it]; and [others of] the Levites, all that had skill in instruments of music.
2Ch 34:13 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.
2Ch 34:14 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the House of the LORD,
        Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
2Ch 34:15 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.
2Ch 34:16 And Shaphan carried the Book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to Thy servants, they perform.
2Ch 34:17 And they have collected 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.
2Ch 34:18 And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
2Ch 34:19
        And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the Law, that he rent his clothes.
2Ch 34:20 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,
2Ch 34:21 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 wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us,
        because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that has been written in this Book.
2Ch 34:22 And Hilkiah and those of the king went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe;
        (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second [part]): and they spoke to her about this.
2Ch 34:23 And she said to them, Thus says the LORD, God of Israel, Tell ye the man who sent you to Me.
2Ch 34:24 Thus says the LORD, Behold, I shall bring calamity upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the Book which they have read before the king of Judah:
2Ch 34:25 because they have forsaken Me, and have burned incense to other GODS, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands;
        therefore My wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
2Ch 34:26 And to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him,
         Thus says the LORD, God of Israel,[concerning] the words which Thou have heard;
2Ch 34:27 because Thy heart was tender, and Thou did humble thyself before GOD, when Thou did hear His words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and did humble thyself before me,
        and did rend Thy clothes, and weep before Me; I have even heard [Thee] also, said the LORD.
2Ch 34:28 Behold, I shall gather Thee to Thy fathers, and Thou shall be gathered to Thy grave in peace, neither shall Thy eyes see all the calamity that I shall bring upon this place,
        and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
2Ch 34:29 Then the king sent and convened all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
2Ch 34:30 And the king went into the House of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites,
        and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the Book of the Covenant that was found in the House of the LORD.
2Ch 34:31 And the king stood in his place, and made a Covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His Commandments, and His Testimonies, and His Statutes, with all his heart,
        and with all his soul, to perform the words of the Covenant which are written in this Book.
2Ch 34:32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin, to stand [to it]. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the Covenant of GOD, the God of their fathers.
2Ch 34:33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that [pertained] to the sons of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel, to serve, to serve the LORD their God.
        All his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
2Ch 35:1 And Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month.
2Ch 35:2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the House of the LORD,
2Ch 35:3 and said to the Levites that taught all Israel, who were Holy to the LORD, Put the Holy Ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built;
        [it shall] not [be] a burden upon [your] shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and His people Israel,
2Ch 35:4 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.
2Ch 35:5 And stand in the Holy [place] according to the divisions of the houses of the fathers of your brethren, the sons the people, and [after] the division of the house of the Levites.
2Ch 35:6 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.
2Ch 35:7 And Josiah gave to the sons of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids,
        all for the Passover-offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: these [were] of the king's substance.
2Ch 35:8 And his princes gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the House of GOD,
        gave to the priests for the Passover-offerings two thousand six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen.
2Ch 35:9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jehiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites,
        gave to the Levites for Passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle], and five hundred oxen.
2Ch 35:10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
2Ch 35:11 And they killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hands, and the Levites flayed [them].
2Ch 35:12 And they removed the burnt-offerings, that they might give according of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to offer to the LORD,
        as [it is] written in the Book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.
2Ch 35:13 And they roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance:
        but the [other] Holy [offerings] they boiled in pots, and in cauldrons, and in pans, and divided [them] speedily among all the sons of the people.
2Ch 35:14 And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering burnt-offerings and the fat until night;
        therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
2Ch 35:15 And the singers the sons of Asaph [were] in their place, according to the commandment of David,
        and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters [waited] at every gate;
        they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
2Ch 35:16 So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover,
        and to offer burnt-offerings upon the Altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
2Ch 35:17 And the sons of Israel [that were] present kept the Passover at that time, and the Festival of Unleavened [Bread] seven days.
2Ch 35:18 And there was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept,
        and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
2Ch 35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept.
2Ch 35:20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the House, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by [the] Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
2Ch 35:21 But he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with Thee, Thou king of Judah?
        [I come] not against Thee this day, but against the house with which I have war: for GOD commanded me to make haste:
        forbear Thee from [meddling with] GOD, who [is] with me, that He may not destroy Thee.
2Ch 35:22 And Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself that he might fight with him,
        and listened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of GOD, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
2Ch 35:23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I [am] severely wounded.
2Ch 35:24 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.
2Ch 35:25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women have spoken of Josiah in their lamentations to this day,
        and made them a statute in Israel: and behold, they [are] written in the lamentations.
2Ch 35:26 And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to [that which was] written in the Law of the LORD,
2Ch 35:27 and his deeds, first and last,
          behold, they [are] written in the Book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

2Ch 36:1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2Ch 36:2 Jehoahaz [was] twenty three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
2Ch 36:3 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
2Ch 36:4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim.
        And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
2Ch 36:5 Jehoiakim [was] twenty five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
        And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD his God.
2Ch 36:6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in copper fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
2Ch 36:7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the House of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
2Ch 36:8 And 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.

2Ch 36:9 Jehoiachin [was] eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. [2Ki 24:8]
        And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD.
2Ch 36:10 And when the year had 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.
2Ch 36:11 Zedekiah [was] twenty one years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
2Ch 36:12 And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD his God, [and] humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of the LORD.
2Ch 36:13 And he rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by GOD: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning to the LORD, God of Israel.
2Ch 36:14 And 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.
2Ch 36:15 And the LORD, God of their fathers sent to them by the hand of His messengers, rising up early, and sending; because He had compassion on His people, and on His dwelling-place:
2Ch 36:16 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, until [there was] no remedy.
2Ch 36:17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their Sanctuary,
        and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave [them] all into his hand.
2Ch 36:18 And all the vessels of the House of GOD, great and small, and the treasures of the House of the LORD,
        and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all [these] he brought to Babylon.
2Ch 36:19 And they burnt the House of GOD, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its goodly vessels.
2Ch 36:20 And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia.
2Ch 36:21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths: [for] as long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
2Ch 36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished,
        the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia,
        that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,
2Ch 36:23 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the World has the LORD, God of Heaven given me;
        and He has charged me to build Him a House in Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah.
        Who [is there] among you of all His people? May the LORD his God [be] with him, and let him go up.


Mat 1:1 [Scroll 23 Gospel of Matthew].
        {Genealogy of Jesus Christ}.
        Book of [the] <genealogy of Jesus Christ>, [the] Son of David, [the] Son of Abraham.
Mat 1:2
        <Abraham> begot Isaac; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob begot Judah and his brethren;
Mat 1:3  and <Judah> begot Pharez and Zerah of Tamar; and Pharez begot Hezron; and Hezron begot Ram;
Mat 1:4  and Ram begot Amminadab; and Amminadab begot Nahshon; and Nahshon begot Salmon;
Mat 1:5  and Salmon begot <Boaz> of Rahab; and Boaz begot Obed of <Ruth>; and Obed begot Jesse;
Mat 1:6  and Jesse begot <David> the king.
         And David the king begot Solomon of out of the [wife] of Uriah;
Mat 1:7  and Solomon begot Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begot Abijah; and Abijah begot Asa;
Mat 1:8  and Asa begot Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begot Jehoram; and Jehoram begot Uzziah;
Mat 1:9  and Uzziah begot Jotham; and Jotham begot Ahaz; and Ahaz begot Hizkiah;
Mat 1:10 and Hizkiah begot Manasseh; and Manasseh begot Amon; and Amon begot Josiah;
Mat 1:11 and Josiah begot <Jeconiah> and his brethren, at the deportation to Babylon.
Mat 1:12
         And after the deportation to Babylon, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begot <Zerubbabel>;
Mat 1:13 and Zerubbabel begot Abihud; and Abihud begot Eliakim; and Eliakim begot Azor;
Mat 1:14 and Azor begot Zadok; and Zadok begot Achim; and Achim begot Elihud;
Mat 1:15 and Elihud begot Eleazar; and Eleazar begot Matthan; and Matthan begot Jacob;
Mat 1:16 and Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born <Jesus>, who being called <Christ>{Messiah}.
Mat 1:17
        Therefore all the generations from Abraham to <David> [are] <fourteen> generations;
        and from David until the deportation to Babylon [are] fourteen generations;
        and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ{Messiah} [are] fourteen generations.

Mat 1:18 {Nativity of Jesus}.
        Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this manner: When His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,
        before that they came together, she was found pregnant by [the] Holy Spirit.
Mat 1:19 But Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to put her to public shame, purposed to put her away privately.
Mat 1:20 But while he thought on these [things], behold, an Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream,
        saying, Joseph, Thou Son of David, may not fear to take to Thee Mary Thy wife:
        for that which was begotten in her is by [the] Holy Spirit.
Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a Son, and Thou shall call His name Jesus{Joshua}:
        for He shall save His people from their sins.
Mat 1:22 Now all this has come to pass, that it should be fulfilled which was spoken by the LORD through the prophet,
Mat 1:23 saying, Behold, <the virgin> shall be pregnant, and shall bear a Son,
        and shall call His name Immanu-El,
        (which is being translated, with us [is] God). [Isa 7:14]
Mat 1:24 But Joseph, having awoke from sleep, did as the Angel of the LORD commanded him, and took to him his wife:
Mat 1:25 and knew{intercourse} her not until she brought forth her Son, the first-born. And he called His name Jesus.
Mat 2:1 {The Star of Beth-lehem}.
        Now, when Jesus having been born in Beth-lehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,
        behold, there came [the] magi from the east to Jerusalem,
Mat 2:2 saying, Where is He who was born King of the Jews?
        For we saw His star in the east, and have come to worship Him.
Mat 2:3 But [when] Herod the king having heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mat 2:4 And he having assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people,
        he inquired from them where the Christ{Messiah} is born.
Mat 2:5 And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judea: for thus it has been written through the prophet,
Mat 2:6 And Thou Beth-lehem; [in] the land of Judah,
        are not the least among the governors of Judah;
        for out of Thee shall come a leading [Man] that shall shepherd My people of Israel; [Mic 5:2]
Mat 2:7 then Herod, when he having privately called the magi,
        inquired from them diligently the time of [the] appearing star.
Mat 2:8 And he having sent them to Beth-lehem,
        and said, Having gone, and search diligently for the Child;
        and when ye may have found [Him], report to me, that I also may having come and may worship Him.
Mat 2:9 But [when] they having heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star,
        which they saw in the east, went before them, until having come and stood over where was the Child.
Mat 2:10 And they having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Mat 2:11 And they having come into the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother, and having fallen down, and worshiped Him.
         And they having opened their treasures, they presented to Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Mat 2:12 {Flight into Egypt and massacre of the innocents}.
        And having been divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod,
        they departed into their own country another way.
Mat 2:13 And they having departed, behold, an Angel of the LORD appears to Joseph in a dream,
        saying, Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and flee into Egypt,
        and be Thou there until I may speak to Thee: for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy It.
Mat 2:14 But he having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Mat 2:15 and was there until the death of Herod: that it should be fulfilled which was spoken by the LORD through the prophet,
        saying, Out of Egypt I called My Son. [Hos 11:1]
Mat 2:16
        Then Herod, having seen that he was mocked by the magi,
        was very enraged, and having sent forth, and slew all the boys that were in Beth-lehem,
        and in all its borders, from two years [old] and under, according to the time which he diligently inquired from the magi.
Mat 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet,
Mat 2:18 saying, A voice was heard there in Rama, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning,
        Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not to be comforted, because they are not. [Jer 31:15]
Mat 2:19
        But Herod having died, behold, an Angel of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Mat 2:20 saying, Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel: for those have died who seeking the soul of the Child.
Mat 2:21 But he having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Mat 2:22 But [when] he having heard that Archelaus reigns in Judea instead of his father Herod,
        he was afraid to go there: but having been divinely warned in a dream,
        he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
Mat 2:23 and he having come and dwelt in a city being called Nazareth: that it should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets,
        He shall be called a Nazarene{Branch}. [Isa 11:1 Jer 23:5 Jer 33:15 Zec 3:8 Zec 6:12]

Mat 3:1 {The testimony of John the Baptist}.
        In those days comes John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
Mat 3:2 and saying,
        Repent ye: for the Kingdom of Heavens has drawn near.
Mat 3:3 For this is he who was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,
        saying, A voice crying in the wilderness,
        Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
        make His paths straight. [Isa 40:3]
Mat 3:4 But John himself had his garment of camel's hair, and a girdle of leather about his loins;
        and his food was grasshoppers and wild honey.
Mat 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan,
Mat 3:6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
Mat 3:7 But having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism,
        he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance:
Mat 3:9 and [you] should not think to say within yourselves,
        We have Abraham [as] father:
        for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham!
Mat 3:10 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees:
        therefore every tree [which] bringing not forth good fruit, is cut down, and is cast into the fire.
Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you in water to repentance:
        but He who coming after me is mightier than I,
        whose shoes I am not worthy to bear.
        He shall baptize you in [the] Holy Spirit and fire:
Mat 3:12 whose fan [is] in His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His threshing-floor,
        and shall gather His wheat into the barn;
        but He shall burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Mat 3:13 {Baptism of Jesus}.
        Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Mat 3:14 But John was hindering Him, saying, I have need to be baptized by Thee, and comes Thou to me?
Mat 3:15 But Jesus answering, said to him, allow [it] now: for thus it is becoming to us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he allows Him.
Mat 3:16 And Jesus, having been baptized, He went up immediately out of the water: and behold, the Heavens were opened to Him,
        and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon Him:
Mat 3:17 and behold, a voice from the Heavens,
        saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I delighted.
Mat 4:1 {Temptation from the devil}.
        Then was Jesus led by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.
Mat 4:2 And He having fasted forty days and forty nights, He afterward hungered.
Mat 4:3 And the Tempter having come to Him, he said,
        If Thou are the Son of God, command that these stones may become bread.
Mat 4:4 But He answering, said, It has been written,
        [That] man shall not live by bread alone, but by every saying going forth through the mouth of God. [Deu 8:3]
Mat 4:5 Then the devil takes Him up into the Holy City, and sets Him on the pinnacle of the Temple,
Mat 4:6 and says to Him, If Thou are the Son of God, cast Thyself down, for it has been written,
        He shall give His Angels charge concerning Thee:
        and on [their] hands they shall uphold Thee,
        lest Thou may dash Thy foot against a stone. [Psa 91:11-12]
Mat 4:7 Jesus said to him, again it has been written,
        Thou shall not tempt the LORD Thy God. [Deu 6:16]
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil takes Him up upon a very high mountain,
        and shows Him all the kingdoms of the World, and the glory of them,
Mat 4:9 and says to Him, All these [things] shall I give Thee, if Thou falling down and may worship me.
Mat 4:10 Then says Jesus to him, Be gone, Satan: for it has been written,
        Thou shall worship the LORD Thy God, and Him only shall Thou serve. [Deu 6:13]
Mat 4:11 Then the devil leaves Him, and behold, Angels came and served Him.

Mat 4:12 {The Gospel}.
        But [when] Jesus having heard that John was cast into prison, He departed into Galilee.
Mat 4:13 And having left Nazareth, He having come and dwelt in Capernaum,
        which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;
Mat 4:14 that it should be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet,
Mat 4:15 saying, The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali,
        [by the] way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the gentiles. [Isa 9:1]
Mat 4:16 The people who sitting in darkness, saw great Light;
        and to them who sitting in the region and shades of death, Light has arisen. [Isa 9:2]
Mat 4:17 From then Jesus began to preach,
        and to say, Repent ye: for the Kingdom of Heavens has drawn near.

Mat 4:18 {Fishers followed Him}.
        But Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee,
        saw two brethren, Simon being called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
        casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Mat 4:19 And He says to them, Come ye after Me,
         and I shall make you fishers of men.
Mat 4:20 But they immediately left [their] nets, and followed Him.
Mat 4:21 And going on from thence, He saw other two brethren, James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother,
        in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and He called them.
Mat 4:22 But they immediately left the ship, and their father, and followed Him.
Mat 4:23 {Fame}.
        And Jesus went about all Galilee,
        teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom,
        and healing every disease, and every illness among the people.
Mat 4:24 And His fame spread throughout all Syria:
        and they brought to Him all that are sick: taken with diverse diseases and torments,
        and those who being possessed with demons, and being lunatics and paralytics; and He healed them.

Mat 4:25 {Sermon on the Mount}.
        And there followed Him great multitudes from Galilee,
        and [from] Decapolis, and [from] Jerusalem, and [from] Judea, and [from] beyond the Jordan.
Mat 5:1 But having seen the multitudes, He ascended the mountain: and He having sat down, His disciples came to Him.
Mat 5:2 And He having opened His mouth, taught them, saying,
        {Beatitudes 1}.
Mat 5:3  Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heavens!
Mat 5:4  Blessed [are] they who mourning: for they shall be comforted!
Mat 5:5  Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the Earth! [Psa 37:11]
Mat 5:6  Blessed [are] they who being hungry and being thirsty for righteousness: for they shall be filled!
Mat 5:7  Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall be obtained mercy!
Mat 5:8  Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God!
Mat 5:9  Blessed [are] the peace-makers: for they shall be called sons of GOD!
Mat 5:10 Blessed [are] they who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heavens!
Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye when they may revile you, and may persecute, and may say every evil saying against you, lying, because of Me!
Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in Heavens: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you!

Mat 5:13 {Salt 1}.
        Ye are the salt of the Earth: but if the salt may lose its savour,
        with what shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing,
        except to be cast out, and to be trampled down by men.
Mat 5:14 {Parable of the lamp under the bushel 1}.
        Ye are the light of the World. A city that is set on a mountain cannot be hid.
Mat 5:15 Neither do they burn a lamp and put it under the bushel, but on the lampstand:
        and it shines to all that are in the house.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the Heavens.
Mat 5:17 {The Law is unchanged 1}.
        <Ye should not suppose that I came to destroy the Law, or the Prophets>: I not came to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For Amen I say to you, Until the Heaven and the Earth should pass away,
        <one jot or one tittle should not pass away from the Law>, until all should come to pass!
Mat 5:19 Whoever therefore may break one of these least Commandments, and may teach so men,
        he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heavens:
        but whoever may do, and may teach [them], the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heavens.
Mat 5:20 For I say to you, that except your righteousness may abound more than [that] of the scribes and Pharisees,
        ye may not enter into the Kingdom of Heavens!

Mat 5:21 {Control your anger and solve conflicts}.
        Ye heard that it was said to the ancients,
        Thou shall not murder; [Exo 20:13 Deu 5:17]
         but whoever may murder, shall be liable of the Judgment.
Mat 5:22 But I say to you, that whoever being angry with his brother vainly shall be liable of the Judgment:
         but whoever may say to his brother, Raca{stupid}, shall be liable of the council:
         but whoever may say, Fool, shall be liable to the Gehenna fire!
Mat 5:23
        Therefore if Thou may bring Thy gift to the Altar,
        and there remember that Thy brother has aught against Thee;
Mat 5:24 leave there Thy gift before the Altar,
        and go Thy way; first be reconciled to Thy brother, and then having come and offer Thy gift.
Mat 5:25 Be agreeing with Thy adversary quickly, while Thou are in the way with him;
        lest the adversary may deliver Thee to the judge,
        and the judge may deliver Thee to the officer and Thou shall be cast into prison.
Mat 5:26 Amen I say to Thee, Thou may not come out thence, until Thou may paid the last quadrans!

Mat 5:27 {Do not covet and evade sin}.
        Ye heard that it was said to the ancients,
        Thou shall not commit adultery. [Exo 20:14 Deu 5:18]
Mat 5:28 But I say to you, that whoever looking on a woman to lust after her,
        has committed adultery with her already in his heart!
Mat 5:29 But if Thy right eye causes Thee to offend, pluck it out, and cast [it] from Thee:
        for it is better for Thee that one of Thy members should perish,
        and not [that] Thy whole body should be cast into the Gehenna.
Mat 5:30 And if Thy right hand causes Thee to offend, cut it off, and cast [it] from Thee:
        for it is better for Thee that one of Thy members should perish,
        and not [that] Thy whole body should be cast into the Gehenna.
Mat 5:31 {Follow your marriage contract 1}.
        It was also said,
        Whoever may put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement. [Deu 24:1]
Mat 5:32 But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery:
          and whoever may marry her who has been divorced, commits adultery!

Mat 5:33 {Concerning oaths and telling the truth}.
        Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients,
        Thou shall not forswear thyself, but shall perform to the LORD Thy oaths. [Num 30:2]
Mat 5:34 But I say to you, Swear not at all:
         neither by Heaven; for it is [the] throne of GOD: [Isa 66:1]
Mat 5:35 neither by the Earth; for it is His stool of His feet:
         neither to Jerusalem; for it is the city of the Great King, [Isa 66:1 Psa 48:2]
Mat 5:36 neither may Thou swear by Thy head,
        because Thou cannot make one hair white or black!
Mat 5:37 But let your communication be, Yes, yes, No, no; for whatever [is] more than these is of the Evil.
Mat 5:38 {Turning the other cheek: non-resistance}.
        Ye heard that it was said,
        Eye for eye, tooth for tooth. [Exo 21:24 Lev 24:20 Deu 19:21]
Mat 5:39 But I say to you, that ye resist not the evil: but whoever shall smite Thee on Thy right cheek, turn to him the other also!
Mat 5:40 And if he willing to sue Thee at the Law, and take away Thy coat, let him have the cloak also.
Mat 5:41 And whoever shall constrain Thee [to go] one mile, go with him two.
Mat 5:42 Give to him that asking Thee, and him who is willing to borrow from Thee, Thou may not turn away.

Mat 5:43 {Love your enemies: prove that you are better}.
        Ye heard that it was said,
        Thou shall love Thy neighbour, [Lev 19:18]
        (and shall hate Thy enemy).
Mat 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies,
        bless them that curse you, do good to them that hating you,
        and pray for them who insulting you, and persecuting you!
Mat 5:45 That ye may become the sons of your Father who [is] in Heavens:
        for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
        and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mat 5:46 {Only be friendly to your friends is not enough}.
        For if ye may love them who loving you, what reward have ye?
        Do not even the publicans the same?
Mat 5:47 And if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]?
        Do not even the publicans so?
Mat 5:48 Ye therefore shall be perfect,
        as your Father who [is] in the Heavens is perfect.

Mat 6:1 {Heavenly Reward 1}.
        Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen by them:
        otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who [is] in the Heavens.
Mat 6:2 When therefore Thou may do [Thy] alms, Thou may not sound [a trumpet] before Thee,
        as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues,
        and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men.
        Amen I say to you, that they have their reward!
Mat 6:3 But when Thou doing alms, let not Thy left know what Thy right [hand] does:
Mat 6:4 that Thy alms may be in secret; and Thy Father who seeing in secret,
        Himself shall reward Thee openly.
Mat 6:5 {The correct way to pray}.
        And when Thou may pray,
        Thou shall not be as the hypocrites:
        for they love to pray standing in the synagogues,
        and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men.
        Amen I say to you, that they have their reward!
Mat 6:6 But Thou, when Thou may pray, enter into Thy closet,
        and Thou having shut Thy door,
        pray to Thy Father who is in secret, and Thy Father who seeing in secret,
        [Himself] shall reward Thee openly.
Mat 6:7 But when ye pray, ye may not use vain repetitions,
        as the heathens [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mat 6:8 Therefore be ye not like them:
        for your Father has known what things ye need before ye ask Him.
Mat 6:9 Thus therefore ye pray:
        {Lord's Prayer 1}.
         Our Father who [is] in the Heavens,
         Hallowed be Thy name,
Mat 6:10 Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done: in Heaven and upon the Earth.
Mat 6:11 Give us today our daily Bread.
Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
Mat 6:13 And Thou would not bring us into temptation; but deliver us from the Evil.
         For Thy is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen!
Mat 6:14 {Heavenly Reward 2}.
        For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father shall also forgive you:
Mat 6:15 but if ye may forgive not men their trespasses, neither shall your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mat 6:16
        But when ye fast, not become as the hypocrites,
        of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces,
        that they may appear to men to fast.
        Amen I say to you, that they have their reward!
Mat 6:17 But Thou, when Thou fastest, anoint Thy head, and wash Thy face;
Mat 6:18 that Thou may not appear to men to fast, but to Thy Father, who is in secret:
        and Thy Father who seeing in secret,
        [Himself] shall reward Thee openly.
Mat 6:19
        Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the Earth,
        where moth and rust corrupts, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven,
        where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

Mat 6:21 {Goodness shines}.
        For where your treasure is, there shall be also your heart.
Mat 6:22 The lamp of the body is the eye:
        if therefore Thy eye be single{clear}, Thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if Thy eye be evil, Thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
        If therefore the light that is in Thee is darkness, how great [is] that darkness!

Mat 6:24 {Against materialism 1}.
        No one can serve two Lords:
        for either he shall hate the one, and shall love the other;
        or else he shall hold to the one, and shall despise the other.
        Ye cannot serve GOD and Mammon{materialism}.
Mat 6:25 Therefore I say to you,
        Be not anxious for your soul, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink; nor yet for your body, what ye may put on!
        Is not the soul more than food, and the body than garment?
Mat 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they not sow,
        neither do they reap, nor gather into barns;
        yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not of more value than they?
Mat 6:27 But who out of you, [by] being anxious, can add to his stature one cubit?
Mat 6:28 And why are ye anxious for garment?
        Consider the lilies of the field how they grow? They toil not, neither do they spin?
Mat 6:29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these!
Mat 6:30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field,
        being today, and tomorrow being cast into the oven,
        [will He] not much more [clothe] you, ye of little faith?
Mat 6:31 Therefore be not anxious,
        saying, What may we eat? Or what may we drink? Or, with what may we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 For after all these [things] do the gentiles seek.
        For your Heavenly Father has known that ye need of all these [things].
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness,
        and all these [things] shall be added to you.
Mat 6:34 Therefore be not anxious for the morrow: for the morrow shall be solicitous for the things of itself.
        Sufficient for the day [is] evil of it.

Mat 7:1 {He shall also judge you with the same measures 1}.
        Judge not, that ye may not be judged.
Mat 7:2 For in which judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
        and the measure in which ye measure, shall be measured back to you.
Mat 7:3 {Splinter in the eye}.
        And why behold Thou the splinter that is in Thy brother's eye,
        but consider not [the] beam that is in Thy own eye?
Mat 7:4 Or how shall Thou say to Thy brother, Let me pull out the splinter out of Thy eye;
        and behold, the beam [is] in Thy own eye?
Mat 7:5 [Thou] hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of Thy own eye;
        and then shall Thou see clearly to cast out the splinter out of Thy brother's eye.

Mat 7:6 {Do not give the Holy to the unthankful or the godless}.
        Give not that which [is] Holy to the dogs,
        neither cast ye your pearls before the swine,
        lest they may trample them down with their feet,
        and having turned, they rend you.

Mat 7:7 {Asking and limits of evilness}.
        Ask, and it shall be given you;
        seek, and ye shall find;
        knock, and it shall be opened to you!
Mat 7:8 For every one that asking, receives;
        and he who seeking, finds;
        and to him that knocking, it shall be opened.
Mat 7:9
        Or what man is there of you,
        who, if his son may ask bread, shall give him a stone?
Mat 7:10 And if he may ask a fish, shall he give him a serpent?
Mat 7:11 If ye then being evil have known [how] to give good gifts to your children,
        how much more shall your Father who [is] in the Heavens give good things to them that asking Him?
Mat 7:12 Therefore all [things] whatever ye may wish that men should do to you,
        so also ye, do to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Mat 7:13 {The good way is hard to follow}.
        Enter ye in through the narrow gate; for wide [is] the gate,
        and broad [is] the way, that leads to destruction,
        and many there are who going in by it;
Mat 7:14 because narrow [is] the gate, and having been constricted [is] the way,
        which leads to life, and few there are that find it.

Mat 7:15 {Warning against false Christians}.
        But beware of false prophets,
        who come to you in clothing of <sheep>,
        but within they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 {The fruit of the tree 1}.
        Ye shall know them by their fruits:
        Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruits;
        but the corrupt tree brings forth evil fruits.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits,
        neither [can] a corrupt tree to bring forth good fruits.
Mat 7:19 Every tree [which] bringing not forth good fruit,
        is cut down, and is cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Therefore <by their fruits ye shall know them>.
Mat 7:21 {Workers of lawlessness are banned from the coming Kingdom of God 1}.
        Not every one that saying to Me, Lord, Lord,
        shall enter into the Kingdom of Heavens;
        but <he who doing the will of My Father who [is] in Heavens>.
Mat 7:22 Many shall say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord,
        have we not prophesied in Thy name?
        And in Thy name have cast out demons?
        And in Thy name done many miracles?
Mat 7:23 And then shall I profess to them,
        I never knew you. <Depart from Me, [all ye] workers of lawlessness>. [Psa 6:8]
Mat 7:24 {Parable of the wise and the foolish builders}.
        Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them,
        I shall compare him to a wise man, who did built his house upon the Rock. [1Co 10:4]
Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
        and did beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it had been founded upon the Rock.
Mat 7:26 And every one that hearing these sayings of Mine, and not doing them,
        shall be compared to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.
Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
        and did beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

Mat 7:28 {Epilogue of the Sermon}.
        And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these sayings,
        the multitudes were astonished at His doctrine.
Mat 7:29 For He was teaching them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.

Mat 8:1 {Healing of the leper}.
        Now He descending from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
Mat 8:2 And behold, a leper having come and worshiped Him,
        saying, Lord, if Thou will, Thou can make me clean.
Mat 8:3 And Jesus put forth the hand, and touched him,
        saying, I will: be Thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Mat 8:4 And Jesus says to him, See Thou should tell no man;
        but go, show thyself to the priest,
        and offer the gift, that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. [Lev 13:49 Lev 14:2-4]

Mat 8:5 {Centurion ask to heal his servant}.
        And Jesus having entered into Capernaum,
        there came to Him a centurion, beseeching Him,
Mat 8:6 and saying, Lord, My servant has been laid in the house: a paralytic, being vehemently tormented.
Mat 8:7 And Jesus says to him, I [AM] coming and shall heal him.
Mat 8:8 The centurion answering, said,
        Lord, I am not worthy that Thou should come under my roof: but speak the word only, and My servant shall be healed.
Mat 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this [man],
        Go, and He goes; and to another, Come, and He comes; and to My servant, Do this, and He does [it].
Mat 8:10 But [when] Jesus having heard, He marvelled, and said to them that followed,
        Amen I say to you, Not even in Israel found I so great faith!
Mat 8:11 But I say to you, that many shall come from east and west,
        and shall be sat down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heavens!
Mat 8:12 But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness:
        there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Mat 8:13 And Jesus said to the centurion,
        Depart; and as Thou believed, so be it done to Thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

Mat 8:14 {Healing of Peter's wife's mother}.
        And Jesus having come into the house of Peter,
        He saw his mother-in-law laid, and sick with a fever.
Mat 8:15 And He touched her hand, and the fever left her:
        and she was raised, and served them.
Mat 8:16 {Exorcising at sunset}.
        Now becoming evening, they brought to Him many that being possessed with demons:
        and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that are sick;
Mat 8:17 that it should be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet,
        saying, He took the infirmities of us, and bore [our] diseases. [Isa 53:4]

Mat 8:18 {Follow Me}.
        But Jesus, having seen great multitudes about Him,
        He gave Commandment to depart to the other side.
Mat 8:19 And one scribe having come, and said to Him,
        Master, I shall follow Thee wherever Thou may go.
Mat 8:20 And Jesus says to him,
        The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests;
        but the Son of Man has nowhere He may lay the head.
Mat 8:21
        And another of His disciples said to Him,
        Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.
Mat 8:22 But Jesus said to him,
        Follow Me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Mat 8:23 {Calming the storm}.
        And He having entered into the ship, His disciples followed Him.
Mat 8:24 And behold, there came a great tempest in the sea,
        so that the ship was being covered by the waves: but He was asleep.
Mat 8:25 And His disciples having come to Him, and awoke Him,
        saying, Lord, save us: we perish!
Mat 8:26 And He says to them, Why are ye fearful, ye of little faith?
        Then He having risen, and rebuked the winds and the sea;
        and it became a great calm.
Mat 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying,
        What manner [of man] is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?
Mat 8:28 {Legion and the swine}.
        And He having come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes,
        there met Him two being possessed with demons,
        coming out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one could pass by that way.
Mat 8:29 And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with Thee, Jesus, [Thou] Son of God?
        Are Thou come here before the time to torment us?
Mat 8:30 And there was afar off from them a herd of many swine, being fed.
Mat 8:31 And the demons besought Him, saying, If Thou expels us, allow us to go away into the herd of swine.
Mat 8:32 And He said to them, Go. And they having go out, they went into the herd of swine:
        and behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
Mat 8:33 And they that feeding them, fled, and went into the city,
        and told everything; and what was befallen to those [who] being possessed with demons.
Mat 8:34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus:
        and they having seen Him, they besought Him that He would depart out of their borders.

Mat 9:1 {Healing of the paralytic}.
        And He entered into the ship, and passed over, and came into His own city.
Mat 9:2 And behold, they brought to Him a paralytic, lying on a couch:
        and Jesus, having seen their faith, said to the paralytic,
        Child, be of good cheer: Thy sins have been forgiven Thee.
Mat 9:3 And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, This [man] blasphemes.
Mat 9:4 And Jesus, having seen their thoughts, said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
Mat 9:5 For which is easier, to say,
        Thy sins have been forgiven Thee;
         or to say, Arise, and walk?
Mat 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of Man has authority upon the Earth to forgive sins,
        (then He says to the paralytic),
        Having risen, take up Thy couch, and go to Thy house.
Mat 9:7 And having arisen, he departed to his house.
Mat 9:8 But the multitudes having seen [it], they marvelled, and glorified God, who having given such authority to men.
Mat 9:9 {Levi is called}.
        And Jesus passing by from thence, He saw a man being called Matthew{Levi},
        sitting at the receipt of custom: and He says to him,
        Follow Me. And he standing up, and followed Him.
Mat 9:10
        And it came to pass, as He reclining [at table] in the house,
        and behold, many publicans and sinners having come and reclined [at table] with Jesus and His disciples.
Mat 9:11 And the Pharisees having seen [it], they said to His disciples,
        Why eats your Master with publicans and sinners?
Mat 9:12 But Jesus having heard, He said to them,
        They that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
Mat 9:13 But having gone and learn what it is, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: [Hos 6:6]
        for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Mat 9:14 {Fasting}.
        Then come to Him the disciples of John, saying,
        Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Thy disciples fast not?
Mat 9:15 And Jesus said to them,
        Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the Bridegroom is with them?
        But the days shall come, when the Bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast.
Mat 9:16 {Parable of new wine into old wineskins}.
        But no one puts a piece of new cloth to an old garment:
        for that which is put in to fill it up, takes from the garment, and the rent becomes worse;
Mat 9:17 neither do men put new wine into old bottles:
        otherwise the bottles are burst, and the wine is poured out, and the bottles shall perish:
        but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

Mat 9:18 {Healing of the bleeding woman and daughter of Jairus}.
        While He is speaking these [things] to them, behold, one ruler having come and worshiped Him,
        saying, my daughter has died now: but having come and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
Mat 9:19 And having risen, Jesus and His disciples followed him.
Mat 9:20 And behold, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years,
        having come to behind [Him], and touched the border of His garment.
Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole.
Mat 9:22 But Jesus having turned, and He having seen her,
        He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; Thy faith has made Thee whole.
        And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Mat 9:23
        And Jesus having come into the ruler's house, and seeing the minstrels and the multitude making a noise,
Mat 9:24 He says to them, Give place: for the girl died not, but sleeps.
         And they derided Him.
Mat 9:25 But when the multitude were put forth,
        He went in, and took her by the hand, and the girl was raised.
Mat 9:26 And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.

Mat 9:27 {Healing of the two blind man}.
        And Jesus passing by from thence, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying,
        [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on us.
Mat 9:28 And He having come into the house, the blind men came to Him: and Jesus says to them,
        Believe ye that I be able to do this? They say to Him, Yes, Lord.
Mat 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it to you.
Mat 9:30 And their eyes were opened;
        and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].
Mat 9:31 And they having go out, [and] spread abroad His fame in all that land.
Mat 9:32 {Healing of the mute}.
        As Thy went out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man possessed with a demon.
Mat 9:33 And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spoke: and its marvelled the multitudes,
        saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Mat 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons, by the ruler of the demons.

Mat 9:35 {More labourers needed before the Harvest}.
        And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
        teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom,
        and healing every disease, and every illness among the people.
Mat 9:36 But having seen the multitudes, He has compassion about them,
        because they were faint, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Mat 9:37 Then He says to His disciples, The Harvest truly [is] plentiful, but the labourers [are] few.
Mat 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the Harvest, that He may send forth labourers into His Harvest.

Mat 10:1 {The twelve apostles}.
        And He having called His twelve disciples, He gave them power [against] unclean spirits,
        to cast them out, and to heal every disease, and every illness.
Mat 10:2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these;
        first, Simon, who being called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Mat 10:3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James [the son] of Alpheus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddeus;
Mat 10:4 Simon the Cananite{Zealot}, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
Mat 10:5 {Mission of the twelve apostles}.
        These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,
        Go not into [the] way of the gentiles, and enter ye not into [any] city of the Samaritans.
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.
Mat 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying,
        The Kingdom of Heavens has drawn near.
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise [the] dead, cast out demons.
        Freely ye received, freely ye give.
Mat 10:9 Procure neither gold, nor silver, nor bronze in your girdles{purses};
Mat 10:10 nor bag for [the] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor <staffs>: for the workman is worthy of his food. [Luk 9:3]
Mat 10:11 And into whatever city or town ye may enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide until ye go thence.
Mat 10:12 And ye entering into the house, salute it.
Mat 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it:
        but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Mat 10:14 And whoever may not receive you, nor hear your words,
        when ye depart from that house, or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Mat 10:15 Amen I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the Day of Judgment, than for that city!

Mat 10:16 {Warnings for the Saints}.
        Behold, I send you out as sheep in the middle of wolves:
        become ye therefore prudent as serpents, and innocent as doves.
Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they shall deliver you to the councils,
        and they shall scourge you in their synagogues.
Mat 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings,
        for My sake, for a testimony against them and the nations.
Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak,
        for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.
Mat 10:20 For ye are not that speaking, but the Spirit of your Father which speaking in you.
Mat 10:21 But a brother shall deliver up a brother to death,
         and a father [his] child: and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and shall put them to death.
Mat 10:22 And ye shall be being hated by all for My name's sake.
          But he who having endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Mat 10:23 But when they may persecute you in this city, flee ye into another:
        for Amen I say to you, Ye may not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of Man should come!
Mat 10:24
         A disciple is not above the teacher, nor the servant above his lord.
Mat 10:25 [It is] enough for a disciple that he should be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord:
        if they called the housemaster Beelzebul, how much more them of his household?
Mat 10:26
        Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Mat 10:27 What I tell you in the darkness, [that] speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the roofs.
Mat 10:28 {Fear God more than tribulation}.
        And fear not them that killing the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
        but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
Mat 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for an as? And not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.
Mat 10:30 But even the hairs of your head are all having been numbered.
Mat 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Mat 10:32 Whoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him I shall confess also before My Father who [is] in Heavens.
Mat 10:33 But whoever may deny Me before men, him shall I also deny before My Father who [is] in Heavens.
Mat 10:34 Ye should not suppose that I came to send peace on the Earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35
        For I came to set a man at: variance against his father,
        and the daughter against her mother,
        and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; [Mic 7:6]
Mat 10:36 and a man's enemies [shall be] they of his own household. [Mic 7:6]
Mat 10:37 He who loving father or mother more than Me, is not worthy of Me:
        and he who loving son or daughter more than Me, is not worthy of Me.
Mat 10:38 And he who takes not his cross, and follows Me, is not worthy of Me.
Mat 10:39 He who finding his soul shall lose it: and He who losing his soul for My sake, shall find it.
Mat 10:40 He who receiving you, receives Me, and He who receiving Me, receives Him who having sent Me.
Mat 10:41 He who receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward;
      and he who receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
Mat 10:42 And whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones, a cup of cold [water] only, in the name of a disciple,
        Amen I say to you, He may not lose his reward!

Mat 11:1 {Question about the coming Messiah}.
        And it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples,
        He departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Mat 11:2 But John having heard in the prison about the works of Christ, he having sent two of his disciples,
Mat 11:3 and said to Him, Are Thou the coming{Messiah}, or do we look for another?
Mat 11:4 And Jesus answering, said to them,
         Having gone and show John those things which ye hear and see:
Mat 11:5 the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear,
        the dead are raised, and the poor are the Gospel preached to them. [Isa 35:6 Isa 61:1]
Mat 11:6
        And blessed is he, whoever may not offended in Me.
Mat 11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John,
        What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed being shaken by the wind?
Mat 11:8 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft garment? Behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in the houses of kings.
Mat 11:9 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet!
Mat 11:10 For this is [he] concerning whom it has been written,
        Behold, I send My messenger;
        before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee; [Mal 3:1]
Mat 11:11 Amen I say to you, Among them that are born of women, there has not been raised a greater than John the Baptist!
        But the least in the Kingdom of Heavens, is greater than he!
Mat 11:12
        And from the days of John the Baptist, until now,
        the Kingdom of Heavens is forced, and the violent take it by force.
Mat 11:13 For all the Law and the Prophets prophesied until John.
Mat 11:14 And if ye will to receive [it], this is Elijah who being about to come.
Mat 11:15 He who having ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 11:16 But to what shall I compare this generation?
        It is like to lads sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions,
Mat 11:17 and saying, We piped to you, and ye not danced;
        We mourned to you, and ye not lamented.
Mat 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he has a demon.
Mat 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say,
        Behold, a gluttonous man and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
        But the wisdom was justified by her <children>. [Luk 7:34-35]

Mat 11:20 {Woe to cities that refused to repent!}.
        Then He began to reproach the cities in which most of His miracles were done, because they repented not.
Mat 11:21 Woe to Thee, Chorazin! Woe to Thee Beth-saida! For if the miracles have been done in Tyre and Sidon,
          have been done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Mat 11:22 But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Day of Judgment, than for you!
Mat 11:23 And Thou, Capernaum, which has been exalted to the Heaven, shall be thrust down to Hades: [Luk 10:15]
          for if the <miracles> which have been done in Thee, having been done in Sodom, it would have remained until today.
Mat 11:24 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom, in the <Day of Judgment>, than for Thee!
Mat 11:25 {Revealing}.
        At that time Jesus answering, said, I thank Thee, Father, Lord of the Heaven and the Earth,
        because Thou hid these [things] from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to infants.
Mat 11:26 Yes, Father, for so it became good pleasure in Thy eyes.
Mat 11:27 All things are delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son, except the Father;
        neither knows anyone the Father, except the Son, and to whom the Son may wish to reveal.

Mat 11:28 {My yoke is easy}.
        Come to Me, all [ye] that labour, and have been [heavy] laden, and I shall give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me:
        for AM gentle and humble in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.
Mat 11:30 For My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.

Mat 12:1 {Plucking the ears on the Sabbaths}.
        At that time Jesus went on the Sabbaths through the grain-fields, and His disciples were hungry,
        and began to pluck the ears [of grain], and to eat.
Mat 12:2 But the Pharisees having seen [it], they said to Him,
        Behold, Thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.
Mat 12:3 But He said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he hungered, [1Sa 21:1-6]
        (himself and they that were with him).
Mat 12:4 How he entered into the House of God, and ate the show-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat,
        neither for them who were with him, except only for the priests?
Mat 12:5 Or have ye not read in the Law, that on the Sabbaths the priests in the Temple,
        profane the Sabbath{by doing service}, and are blameless? [Num 28:9-10]
Mat 12:6 But I say to you, that a greater than the Temple is here!
Mat 12:7 But if ye had known what it is, I desired mercy, and not sacrifice, [Hos 6:6]
        ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Mat 12:8 For the <Son of Man> is <Lord> also of the <Sabbath>.
Mat 12:9 {Healing hand on the Sabbaths}.
        And He having departed thence, He went into their synagogue.
Mat 12:10 And behold, there was a man who having [his] hand withered.
        And they asked Him, saying, If it is lawful to heal on the Sabbaths?
        That they might accuse Him.
Mat 12:11 But He said to them, What man shall be there among you, that shall have one sheep,
        and if it may fall into a pit on the Sabbaths, shall he not lay hold on it, and shall lift [it] out?
Mat 12:12 How much then is a man of more value than a sheep?
        Therefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbaths.
Mat 12:13 Then He says to the man, Stretch out Thy hand.
        And he stretched [it] out; and [it] was restored whole like the other.
Mat 12:14 But the Pharisees went out, and held a council against Him, how they might destroy Him.

Mat 12:15 {The Chosen Servant}.
        But when Jesus knew [it], He withdrew from thence:
        and great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.
Mat 12:16 And charged them that they should not make Him known:
Mat 12:17 that it should be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet,
Mat 12:18 saying, Behold, My Servant, whom I have chosen;
        My beloved, in whom My soul is well pleased:
        I shall put My Spirit upon Him,
        and He shall show judgment to the gentiles. [Isa 42:1]
Mat 12:19 He shall not contend, nor shall cry;
        neither shall anyone in the streets hear His voice. [Isa 42:2]
Mat 12:20 A bruised reed shall He not break,
        and smoking flax shall He not quench,
        until He shall send forth the judgment to victory. [Isa 42:3]
Mat 12:21 And in His name shall [the] gentiles hope. [Isa 42:4]

Mat 12:22 {Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit 1}.
        Then was brought to Him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb;
        and He healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.
Mat 12:23 And all the multitudes were astonished, and said, Is this not the Son of David?
Mat 12:24 But the Pharisees having heard, [and] they said,
        This [Man] casts not out demons, except by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.
Mat 12:25 But Jesus, knowning their thoughts, said to them,
        Every kingdom divided against itself is desolated;
        and every city or house divided against itself, shall not stand.
Mat 12:26 And if Satan casts out Satan,
        he was divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
Mat 12:27 And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons,
        by whom do your sons cast [them] out?
        Therefore they shall be your judges.
Mat 12:28 But if I cast out demons by [the] Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God is come to you.
Mat 12:29 {Parable of the strong man}.
        Or how can one enter into the strong man's house,
        and to plunder his goods, except He may first bind the strong [man]?
        And then he shall plunder his house.
Mat 12:30 He who being not with Me is against Me;
      and he who not gathering with Me scatters.
Mat 12:31 {Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit 2}.
        Therefore I say to you,
        Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men:
        but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Spirit shall not be forgiven to men!
Mat 12:32 And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him:
        but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him,
        neither in this Age{World}, neither in the coming!

Mat 12:33 {The fruit of the tree 2}.
        Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt,
        and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [its] fruit.
Mat 12:34 Offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?
        For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Mat 12:35 {Treasure of the heart 2}.
        The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, brings forth good things:
        and the evil man, out of the evil treasure, brings forth evil things.
Mat 12:36 {Sign of the prophet Jonah}.
        But I say to you, that for every idle saying that men may speak,
        they shall give an account about it in the Day of Judgment!
Mat 12:37 For by Thy words Thou shall be justified, and by Thy words Thou shall be condemned.
Mat 12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we will see a sign from Thee.
Mat 12:39 But He answering, said to them,
        <An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign>,
        <and there shall no sign be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah>.
Mat 12:40 For as Jonah was <three days and three nights in the great fish's belly>:
        <so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth>. [Jon 1:17]
Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment with this generation,
          and shall condemn it:
          because they repented at the preaching of Jonah;
          and behold, a greater [is] here than Jonah.
Mat 12:42 The Queen of the South shall rise in the judgment with this generation,
          and shall condemn it:
          for she came from the ends of the Earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
          and behold, a greater [is] here than Solomon. [1Ki 10:1]

Mat 12:43 {Return of the unclean spirit}.
        But when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,
         he passes through places without water, seeking rest, and he finds none.
Mat 12:44 Then he says, I shall return into my house whence I came out;
        and he having come, he finds [it] empty, swept and adorned.
Mat 12:45 Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there:
        and the last [state] of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this evil generation.

Mat 12:46 {The Saints are a family}.
        While He was yet speaking to the multitudes,
        Behold, the mother and His brothers had stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.
Mat 12:47 But someone said to Him,
        Behold, Thy mother and Thy brothers have stood outside, seeking to speak with Thee.
Mat 12:48 But He answering, said to him that told Him,
        Who is My mother? And who are My brothers?
Mat 12:49 And He stretched forth His hand towards His disciples, and said,
        Behold My mother and My brothers!
Mat 12:50 For whoever may do the will of My Father who [is] in Heavens,
        this is My brother, and sister, and mother.

Mat 13:1 {Parable of the Sower}.
        But in that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea.
Mat 13:2 And great multitudes were gathered to Him, so that He having entered into the ship,
        and sat down; and the whole multitude had stood on the shore.
Mat 13:3
        And He spoke many [things] to them in parables,
        saying, Behold, a sower went out to sow;
Mat 13:4 and when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way, and the fowls came and devoured them.
Mat 13:5 And other fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up,
        because it not to have deepness of earth.
Mat 13:6 But when the sun having risen, it was scorched; and because it not to have root, it withered.
Mat 13:7 And other fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them.
Mat 13:8 And other fell on the good ground, and brought forth fruit, one hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold.
Mat 13:9
        He who having ears to hear, let him hear.
Mat 13:10 And the disciples having come, said to Him,
        Why speak Thou to them in parables?
Mat 13:11
        But He answering, said to them,
        Because it is given,
        to you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heavens,
        but to them it is not given.
Mat 13:12 For whoever has, to him shall be given,
        and he shall be abound more:
        but whoever has not,
        from him shall be taken away even that which he has.
Mat 13:13
        Therefore I speak to them in parables:
        because they seeing see not;
        and hearing they hear not,
        neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And on them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah,
        which saying, By hearing ye shall hear,
        and shall not understand;
        and seeing ye shall see,
        and may not perceive. [Isa 6:9]
Mat 13:15 For this people's heart has become gross,
        and they heard with the ears heavily,
        and their eyes they have closed;
        lest they should see with [their] eyes,
        and hear with [their] ears,
        and should understand with [their] heart,
        and should convert,
        and I should heal them. [Isa 6:10]
Mat 13:16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see:
        and your ears, for they hear.
Mat 13:17 For Amen I say to you, that many prophets and righteous [men],
        have desired to see [the things] which ye see, and have not seen;
        and to hear [the things] which ye hear, and have not heard!
Mat 13:18 {Parable of the Sower explained}.
        Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. [Mat 13:3-8]
Mat 13:19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and understands [it] not, then comes the Evil,
        and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who having sown by the way.
Mat 13:20 But he who having sown into stony places: this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receiving it;
Mat 13:21 yet he has not root in himself, but is temporary:
        for when tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately he is offended.
Mat 13:22 But he who having sown among the thorns: this is he who hears the word, and the care of this Age{World},
        and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
Mat 13:23 But he who having sown on the good ground: this is he who hearing the word, and understanding [it];
        who also bears fruit, and brings forth, one hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold.

Mat 13:24 {Parable of the tares}.
        Another parable He proposed to them, saying,
        The Kingdom of Heavens is compared to a Man who sowing good seed in His field.
Mat 13:25 But while men slept, His enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and departed.
Mat 13:26 But when the grass sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared also the tares.
Mat 13:27 And the servants of the Housemaster having come and said to Him,
        Lord, did Thou not sow good seed in Thy field? Whence then has it tares?
Mat 13:28 He said to them,
        A certain enemy has done this. The servants said to Him, Will Thou then that we go and may gather them?
Mat 13:29 But He said, No; lest while ye gather the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the Harvest: and in the time of Harvest I shall say to the reapers,
        Gather ye first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into My barn.
Mat 13:31 {Parable of the grain of mustard}.
        Another parable He proposed to them, saying,
        The Kingdom of the Heavens is like a grain of mustard,
        which a Man having taken, and sowed in His field:
Mat 13:32 which indeed is the least of all the seeds: but when it is grown, it is [the] greatest among herbs,
        and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.
Mat 13:33 {Parable of the leaven}.
        Another parable He spoke to them;
        The Kingdom of the Heavens is like leaven,
        which a woman took, and hid in three seahs of meal, until the whole was leavened.
Mat 13:34 All these [things] Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable He spoke not to them:
Mat 13:35 that it should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
        I shall open My mouth in parables;
        I shall utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the World. [Psa 78:2]
Mat 13:36 {Parable of the tares explained}.
        Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house: and His disciples came to Him,
        saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. [Mat 13:24]
Mat 13:37 But He answering, said to them,
        <He who sowing the good seed> is the <Son of Man>;
Mat 13:38 the <field is the World>;
        <and the good seed: these are the sons of the Kingdom>;
        but the <tares are the sons of the Evil>;
Mat 13:39 the <enemy that sowed them> is the <devil>;
        the <Harvest> is the <end of the Age{World}>;
        and the <reapers> are the <Angels>.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;
        so shall it be in the end of this Age{World}.
Mat 13:41 The Son of Man shall send forth His Angels,
        and they shall gather out of His Kingdom;
        all [things] that offend, and them who doing lawlessness;
Mat 13:42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire:
        there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine as the sun in the of their Father's Kingdom.
        He who having ears to hear, let him hear.

Mat 13:44 {Parable of the hidden treasure}.
        Again, the Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure hid in a field;
        which, when a man has found, he hides, and for joy of it goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
Mat 13:45 {Parable of the pearl}.
        Again, the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
Mat 13:46 he who having found one pearl of great price,
        went and has sold all that he had, and bought it.
Mat 13:47 {Parable of drawing in the net}.
        Again, the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a net, that was cast into the sea,
        and gathered of every kind:
Mat 13:48 which, when it was full, they drew to the shore,
        and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast out the bad.
Mat 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the Age{World}:
        the Angels shall come forth, and shall separate the wicked from among the just,
Mat 13:50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire:
        there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Mat 13:51 Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these [things]? They say to Him, Yes, Lord.
Mat 13:52 But He said to them, Therefore every scribe [who is] discipled to the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a man [that is] a Housemaster,
        who brings forth out of His treasure [things] new and old.

Mat 13:53 {Rejected as Prophet}.
        And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, He departed thence.
Mat 13:54 And He having come into His fatherland, He taught them in their synagogue,
        so that they are being astonished, and said, Whence has this [Man] this wisdom, and [these] miracles?
Mat 13:55
        Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary?
        And His brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Mat 13:56 And His sisters, are they not all with us?
        Whence then has this [Man] all these [things]?
Mat 13:57 And they were offended in Him. But Jesus said to them,
        A prophet is not without honour, except in his fatherland, and in his own house.
Mat 13:58 And He did not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

Mat 14:1 {Death of John the Baptist}.
        At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
Mat 14:2 and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist.
        He was raised from the dead;
        and therefore miracles do show forth themselves in him.
Mat 14:3 For Herod having laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison,
        for the sake of Herodias, (the wife of his brother Philip).
Mat 14:4 For John said to him, It is not lawful for Thee to have her.
Mat 14:5 And willing to kill him,
        he feared the multitude, because they held him as a prophet.
Mat 14:6 But when Herod's birth-day being kept,
        the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. [Mar 6:22]
Mat 14:7 Upon which He promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.
Mat 14:8 And she, being before instructed by her mother,
        says, Give me here the head of John the Baptist in a dish.
Mat 14:9 And the king was sorry: but because for the sake of the oaths,
        and of them who sat with him at table, He commanded [it] to be given.
Mat 14:10 And he having sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
Mat 14:11 And his head was brought in a dish,
        and given to the girl: and she brought [it] to her mother.
Mat 14:12 And His disciples having come near, and took up the body, and buried it, and they having come and told Jesus.
Mat 14:13 {Miracle of the loaves}.
        And having heard, Jesus departed thence in a ship, into a desert place apart:
        and the multitudes having heard [of it], they followed Him on foot out of the cities.
Mat 14:14 And Jesus went out, and saw a great multitude,
        and has compassion on them, and He healed their sick.
Mat 14:15 Now becoming evening, His disciples came to Him,
        saying, This is a desert place, and the hour is now past; send away the multitudes,
        that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves foods.
Mat 14:16 But Jesus said to them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
Mat 14:17 And they say to Him, We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.
Mat 14:18 But He said, Bring them here to Me.
Mat 14:19 And He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass,
        and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes,
        and having looked up to Heaven, He blessed, and broke,
        and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
Mat 14:20 And they all ate and were filled:
        and they took up of the fragments that remaining [in] twelve baskets full.
Mat 14:21 And they that eating were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Mat 14:22 {Walking on water}.
        And immediately Jesus compelled His disciples to enter into the ship,
        and to go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
Mat 14:23 And He having sent the multitudes away,
        He ascended the mountain apart to pray. Now becoming evening, He was there alone.
Mat 14:24 But the ship was now in the middle of the sea,
        being tossed by waves: for the wind was contrary.
Mat 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking upon the sea.
Mat 14:26 And the disciples having seen Him walking upon the sea,
        they were troubled, saying, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear.
Mat 14:27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying,
         Be of good cheer: [it is] I AM; be not afraid.
Mat 14:28 But Peter answering Him, said,
        Lord, if Thou are [Him], bid me to come to Thee on the waters.
Mat 14:29 But He said, Come. And Peter having went down out of the ship,
        He walked on the waters, to come to Jesus.
Mat 14:30 But seeing the strong wind, he was afraid;
        and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Mat 14:31 But immediately Jesus stretched forth the hand, and caught him,
        and says to him, Thou of little faith, Why did Thou doubt?
Mat 14:32 And they having entered into the ship, the wind ceased.
Mat 14:33 But they that were in the ship having come and worshiped Him,
        saying, Truly Thou are [the] Son of God!
Mat 14:34 {Healed by touching}.
        And they having passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Mat 14:35 And the men of that place having recognized Him,
        they sent out into all the region around,
        and brought to Him all that are sick;
Mat 14:36 and besought Him that they might only touch the border of His garment:
        and as many as touched were restored to health.

Mat 15:1 {Tradition against the Commandments}.
        Then come to Jesus from Jerusalem [the] scribes and Pharisees , saying,
Mat 15:2 Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
        For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Mat 15:3 But He answering, said to them,
        Why do ye also transgress the Commandment of God by your tradition?
Mat 15:4 For God commanded, saying,
        Honour Thy father and Thy mother: [Exo 20:12]
        And he who cursing father or mother, let him die the death. [Exo 21:17]
Mat 15:5 But ye say,
        Whoever may say to the father or the mother,
        [It is] a gift, by whatever Thou might be profited by me;
Mat 15:6 and may not honour his father or his mother,
         and ye nullified the Commandment of God by your tradition.
Mat 15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Mat 15:8 This people draws near to Me with their mouth,
        and honour Me with [their] lips;
        but their heart is far from Me, [Isa 29:13]
Mat 15:9 but in vain they worship Me,
        teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men. [Isa 29:13]

Mat 15:10 {Parable of defiles the man}.
        And He called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand:
Mat 15:11 not that coming into the mouth defiles the man;
        but that coming out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
Mat 15:12 Then having come His disciples, and said to Him,
        Thou have known that the Pharisees were offended after they having heard this saying?
Mat 15:13 {Parable of the blind lead the blind 2}.
        But He answering, said,
        Every plant, which My Heavenly Father has not planted, shall be uprooted.
Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they are blind guides of the blind.
        And if the blind may lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Mat 15:15 {Parable of defiles the man explained}.
        But Peter answering, said to Him,
        Explain to us this parable.
Mat 15:16 But Jesus said, Are ye also yet foolish?
Mat 15:17 Do ye not yet understand,
         that whatever entering in at the mouth goes into the belly,
         and is cast out into the toilet?
Mat 15:18 But those things coming out of the mouth come forth from the heart;
        those things that defiles the man.
Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Mat 15:20 these [things] are which defile a man:
        but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man.

Mat 15:21 {Daughter healed by faith}.
        And Jesus went thence, and departed into the territories of Tyre and Sidon.
Mat 15:22 And behold, a woman of Canaan having come out of the same territories, and cried to Him,
        saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, [Thou] Son of David; My daughter is evilly possessed with a demon.
Mat 15:23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples having come and besought Him,
        saying, Send her away; for she cries behind us.
Mat 15:24 But He answering, said,
        I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.
Mat 15:25 Then came she and worshiped Him, saying, Lord, help me.
Mat 15:26 But He answering, said,
        It is not good to take the bread of [the] children, and to cast [it] to the little dogs.
Mat 15:27 And she said,
        Yes, Lord: for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their Lords' table.
Mat 15:28 Then He answering, Jesus said to her,
        O woman, great [is] Thy faith: be it to Thee even as Thou will. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Mat 15:29 {seven loaves and fishes}.
        And Jesus departed from thence, and came near to the sea of Galilee;
        and ascended the mountain, and sat down there.
Mat 15:30 And great multitudes came to Him,
        having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed,
        and many others, and cast them down at the feet of Jesus; and He healed them:
Mat 15:31 so that the multitudes to marvel, seeing:
       [that] the dumb speaking, the maimed be whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing.
        And they glorified the God of Israel.
Mat 15:32
        But Jesus called His disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude,
        because they remain with Me now three days, and have nothing they may eat:
        and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
Mat 15:33 And His disciples say to Him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
Mat 15:34 And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
Mat 15:35 And He commanded the multitudes to sit upon the ground.
Mat 15:36 And He having taken the seven loaves and the fishes,
        He having given thanks, and broke [them], and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Mat 15:37 And they all ate and were filled:
          and they took up of the fragments that remaining [in] seven baskets full.
Mat 15:38 And they that eating were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Mat 15:39 And He sent away the multitudes,
        {Signs of the Times}.
        And He entered into the ship, and came into the borders of Magdala.
Mat 16:1 The Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting,
        asked Him that He would show them a sign from Heaven.
Mat 16:2 But He answering, said to them,
        Becoming evening, ye say, [It shall be] fair weather: for the sky is red.
Mat 16:3 And in the morning, [It shall be] foul weather today: for the sky is red and overcast.
        [Ye] hypocrites indeed, ye know to discern the face of the sky;
        but ye cannot [discern] the <Signs of the Times>?
Mat 16:4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign;
        and there shall no sign been to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
        And He left them, and departed.
Mat 16:5 {The leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees}.
        And His disciples having come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Mat 16:6 But Jesus said to them,
        Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Mat 16:7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying,
        [It is] because we took no bread.
Mat 16:8 But Jesus having known, said to them,
        ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye took no bread?
Mat 16:9 Do ye not yet understand,
        neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Mat 16:10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Mat 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spoke not to you concerning bread,
        that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
Mat 16:12 Then they understood that He did not caution them against the leaven of bread,
        but against the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Mat 16:13 {The Messiah is revealed by Peter}.
        But Jesus having come into the borders of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying,
        Who do men say that I be the Son of Man?
Mat 16:14 And they said,
        Some [say] John the Baptist: some Elijah;
        and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Mat 16:15 He says to them,
        But who say ye that I be?
Mat 16:16 But Simon Peter answering, said,
        Thou are the Christ{Messiah}, the Son of the Living God.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answering, said to him,
        Blessed are Thou, Simon Bar Jonah:
        for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to Thee, but My Father who [is] in the Heavens!
Mat 16:18
        And I also say to Thee, that Thou are Peter{Stone, Petros}, and upon this Rock{Petra} I shall build My Church;
        and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her.
Mat 16:19 And I shall give to Thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heavens:
        and whatever Thou may bind on the Earth, shall be having been bound in the Heavens;
        and whatever Thou may loose on the Earth, shall be having been loosed in the Heavens.
Mat 16:20 {Secret until the Resurrection}.
        Then He charged His disciples that they should tell no man that He is Jesus the Christ{Messiah}. [Mat 17:9]
Mat 16:21 From then Jesus began to show to His disciples, that He must go to Jerusalem,
        and suffer many [things] from the elders and chief priests, and scribes,
        and to be killed, and to be raised up the third day.
Mat 16:22 And Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him,
        saying, Be it far from Thee, Lord: this shall not be to Thee.
Mat 16:23 But He having turned, and said to Peter, Get Thee behind Me, Satan; Thou are an offence to Me:
        for Thou mind not the things that are of God, but those that are of men.
Mat 16:24 {Take up his cross: tribulation}.
        Then said Jesus to His disciples,
        If anyone will to come after Me, let him deny himself,
        and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Mat 16:25 For whoever may wish to save his soul, shall lose it:
        but whoever may lose his soul for My sake, shall find it.
Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if He may gain the whole World, and lose his own soul?
        Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man should come in the glory of His Father, with His Angels;
        and then He shall reward every man according to his works. [Psa 62:12 Pro 24:12]
Mat 16:28 Amen I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death,
        until they shall see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom!
Mat 17:1 {Transfiguration of Jesus}.
        And after six days, Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them upon a high mountain apart.
Mat 17:2 And He was transfigured before them: and His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as the Light.
Mat 17:3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with Him.
Mat 17:4 But Peter answering, said to Jesus,
        Lord, it is good for us to be here: if Thou will, let us make here three Tabernacles;
        one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Mat 17:5 While He was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them:
        and behold, a voice out of the cloud, which saying,
        This is My beloved Son, in whom I delighted: hear ye Him.
Mat 17:6 And the disciples having heard, they fell on their face, and were in exceedingly fear.
Mat 17:7 And Jesus having come and touched them, and said, Be raised and be not afraid.
Mat 17:8 Then they having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.
Mat 17:9 And as they were descending the mountain, Jesus charged them,
        saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of Man be raised up from the dead.
Mat 17:10 And His disciples asked Him, saying,
         Why then say the scribes, that Elijah must first to come?
Mat 17:11 But Jesus answering, He said to them, Elijah truly comes first, and shall restore all [things]:
Mat 17:12 but I say to you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not,
        but have done to him whatever they would: so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them!
Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them concerning John the Baptist.

Mat 17:14 {The dumb spirit}.
        And they having come to the multitude, there came to Him a man kneeling down to Him, and saying,
Mat 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and suffers evilly;
        for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.
Mat 17:16 And I brought him to Thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.
Mat 17:17 But Jesus answering, said,
        O faithless and perverted generation,
        until when shall I be with you, until when shall I bear you? Bring him here to Me.
Mat 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it departed out of him: and the boy was healed from that hour.
Mat 17:19 Then having come the disciples to Jesus privately, and said, Why could not we cast it out?
Mat 17:20 But Jesus said to them, Because of your <unbelief>:
        for Amen I say to you, If ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, Move hence to there,
        and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you!
Mat 17:21 But this kind goes not out, except by prayer and fasting.

Mat 17:22 {Prediction of Resurrection}.
        And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them,
        The Son of Man is about to betrayed into the hands of men:
Mat 17:23 and they shall kill Him, and the third day He shall be raised up:
        And they were exceedingly grieved.

Mat 17:24 {Tribute money}.
        And they having come to Capernaum, they that received the double-drachma,
        came to Peter, and said,
        Does not your Master pay the double-drachma?
Mat 17:25 He says,
        Yes. And when he entered into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying,
        What think Thou, Simon? From whom do the kings of the Earth take custom or tribute?
        From their own sons, or from strangers?
Mat 17:26 Peter says to Him,
        From strangers.
        Jesus said to him,
        Then are the sons free.
Mat 17:27 But lest we may offend them, go Thou to the sea, and cast a hook,
        and take the fish that first comes up: and Thou having opened his mouth,
        Thou shall find a stater{4 drachmas}: having taken that, and give to them for Me and Thee.
Mat 18:1 {Be humble as a child}.
        In that hour came the disciples to Jesus, saying,
        Then who is the greater in the Kingdom of Heavens?
Mat 18:2 And Jesus called a child to Him, and set it in the middle of them,
Mat 18:3 and said,
        Amen I say to you, Except ye may be converted, and become as children, ye may not enter into the Kingdom of Heavens!
Mat 18:4 Whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the Kingdom of Heavens.
Mat 18:5 And whoever may receive one such child in My name, receives Me.
Mat 18:6 {Evade sin}.
        But whoever may cause to offend of these little ones that believing into Me, to sin,
        it is better for him that a millstone should be hanged on his neck,
        and should be sunk in the depth of the open sea.
Mat 18:7 Woe to the World because of offences! For it is necessarily be that offences to come; but woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
Mat 18:8 But if Thy hand or Thy foot causes Thee to offend, cut them off, and cast [it] from Thee:
        it is better for Thee to enter into life lame or maimed,
        rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire.
Mat 18:9 And if Thy eye causes Thee to offend, pluck it out, and cast [it] from Thee:
        it is better for Thee to enter into life with one eye,
        rather than having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna fire.
Mat 18:10
        {Parable of the lost sheep}.
        Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones:
        for I say to you, that in Heavens their Angels do always behold the face of My Father who [is] in Heavens!
Mat 18:11 For the Son of Man is come to save that which having been lost.
Mat 18:12 What [do] you think? If there should be a man [with] a hundred sheep, and one of them is gone astray,
        does He not leave the ninety nine, and go to the mountains, and seek that which being gone astray?
Mat 18:13 And if He happens to finds it,
        Amen I say to you, He rejoices more over that [sheep], than over the ninety nine which went not astray!
Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who [is] in Heavens, that one of these little ones should perish.
Mat 18:15 {Dealing with sinners}.
        But if Thy brother may sin against Thee, go and tell him his fault between Thee and him alone:
        if he may hear Thee, Thou have gained Thy brother.
Mat 18:16 But if he may not hear [Thee, then] take with Thee one or two more,
        that in the mouth of two or three witnesses may every saying be established. [Deu 19:15]
Mat 18:17 But if he may neglect to hear them, tell [it] to the Church:
          but if he may neglect to hear even the Church,
        let him be to Thee as the heathen and the publican.
Mat 18:18 Amen I say to you, Whatever ye may bind on the Earth, shall be having been bound in the Heaven:
        and whatever ye may loose on the Earth, shall be having been loosed in the Heaven!
Mat 18:19 Again I say to you, that if two of you may agree on the Earth,
        concerning any thing that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who [is] in Heavens!
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are assembled in My name, there AM I in the middle of them.
Mat 18:21 {Parable of the unforgiving servant}.
        Then Peter having come to Him, and said,
        Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I shall forgive him? Until seven times?
Mat 18:22 Jesus says to him,
        I say not to Thee, until seven times: but until seventy times seven.
Mat 18:23 Therefore, the Kingdom of Heavens is compared to a certain Man, a King, who would take account of His servants.
Mat 18:24 And He having begun to count, one was brought to Him who owed Him a myriad of talents.
Mat 18:25 But as he had not ability to pay, his Lord commanded him to be sold,
        and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Mat 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, worshiped Him, saying,
        Lord, have patience with me, and I shall pay Thee all.
Mat 18:27 Then the Lord of that servant having compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Mat 18:28 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred denarii:
         and he hold him, he choked [him], saying, Pay me what Thou own.
Mat 18:29 Then his fellow-servant having fallen at his feet, and besought him, saying,
        Have patience with me, and I shall pay Thee all.
Mat 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay the debt.
Mat 18:31 But the fellow-servants having seen what was done,
        they were exceedingly sorry, and having come and told to their Lord all that was done.
Mat 18:32 Then his Lord, having called him, says to him,
        Thou wicked servant, I forgave Thee all that debt, because Thou besought Me:
Mat 18:33 did it not behove also Thee to have had compassion on Thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on Thee?
Mat 18:34 And his Lord having been angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all his debt.
Mat 18:35 So also shall My Heavenly Father do to you, if ye from your hearts may forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Mat 19:1 {Multitudes followed Him}.
        And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these sayings, He departed from Galilee,
        and came into the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan:
Mat 19:2 and great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

Mat 19:3 {Follow your marriage contract 2}.
        The Pharisees also came to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him,
        If it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Mat 19:4 But He answering, said to them,
        Have ye not read, that He who having made [them], at [the] beginning made them male and female, [Gen 1:27]
Mat 19:5 and said,
        Because of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife:
        and they two shall be one flesh? [Gen 2:24]
Mat 19:6 Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh.
        Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.
Mat 19:7 They say to Him,
        Why then did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? [Deu 24:1]
Mat 19:8 He says to them,
        Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to put away your wives:
        but from [the] beginning it has not been so.
Mat 19:9 But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, except for fornication, and may marry another, commits adultery:
        and having married her who has been divorced, commits adultery!
Mat 19:10
        His disciples say to Him,
        If the case of the man is so with the wife, it is not good to marry.
Mat 19:11 But He said to them,
        All [men] cannot receive this saying, but [they] to whom it has been given.
Mat 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from [their] mother's womb:
        and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men:
        and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heavens' sake.
        He who is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

Mat 19:13 {Children of the Kingdom}.
        Then were brought to Him children, that He might put [His] hands on them, and pray:
         but the disciples rebuked them.
Mat 19:14 But Jesus said,
        Allow the children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the Kingdom of Heavens.
Mat 19:15 And He laid [His] hands on them, and departed thence.
Mat 19:16 {The rich man}.
        And behold, one having come and said to Him, Good Master,
        what good thing shall I do that I may have everlasting life?
Mat 19:17 But He said to him, Why call Thou Me good?
        <None [is] good, except One, [that is], God>.
        But if Thou will enter into life, keep the Commandments. [Exo 20:3-17 Deu 5:7-21]
Mat 19:18 He says to Him, Which? But Jesus said,
        Thou shall do no murder, Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not bear false witness, [Exo 20:3-17 Deu 5:7-21]
Mat 19:19 Honour Thy father and Thy mother: and Thou shall love Thy neighbour as thyself. [Exo 20:3-17 Deu 5:7-21 Lev 19:18]
Mat 19:20 The young man says to Him,
        All these [things] have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?
Mat 19:21 Jesus said to him,
        If Thou will be perfect, go [and] sell Thy goods, and give to the poor,
        and Thou shall have treasure in Heavens: and come here, follow Me.
Mat 19:22 But [when] the young man having heard that saying,
        He went away being sorrowful: for he was holding many possessions.
Mat 19:23 But Jesus said to His disciples,
        Amen I say to you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into the Kingdom of Heavens!
Mat 19:24 And again I say to you,
        It is easier for a camel to go through [the] eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God!
Mat 19:25 But [when] His disciples having heard [it], they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Then who is able to be saved?
Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], said to them,
        With men this is impossible, but with God all [things] are possible.
Mat 19:27 Then Peter answering, said to Him,
        Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed Thee? What then shall be to us?
Mat 19:28 But Jesus said to them,
        Amen I say to you, that ye who having followed Me in the regeneration:
        when the Son of Man should sit upon the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel!
Mat 19:29 And every one that has forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields for My name's sake,
        shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Mat 19:30 But many [that are] first shall be last, and the last [shall be] first.

Mat 20:1 {Parable of the workers in the vineyard}.
        For the Kingdom of the Heavens is like to a Man [that is] a Housemaster,
        who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into His vineyard.
Mat 20:2 But He having agreed with the labourers for a denarius a day, He sent them into His vineyard.
Mat 20:3 And He went out about the third hour{circa 9 AM}, and saw others standing idle in the market,
Mat 20:4 and said to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever may be just, I shall give you. And they departed.
Mat 20:5 Again He went out about the sixth and ninth hour{noon and circa 3 PM}, and did likewise.
Mat 20:6 And about the eleventh hour{circa 5 PM} He went out, and found others standing idle,
        and says to them, Why ye have stood here all the day idle?
Mat 20:7 They say to Him, Because no one has hired us.
        He says to them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatever may be just, [that] shall ye receive.
Mat 20:8 Now becoming evening, the Lord of the vineyard says to His steward, Call the labourers,
        and pay them the reward, beginning from the last to the first.
Mat 20:9 And they having come that [were hired] about the eleventh hour{circa 5 PM}, they received every man a denarius.
Mat 20:10 But when the first having come, they supposed that they shall receive more; and also they received each a denarius.
Mat 20:11 And they having received [it], they murmured against the Housemaster;
Mat 20:12 saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour,
        and Thou have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Mat 20:13 But He answering one of them, said, companion,
        I do Thee no wrong: did Thou not agree with me for a denarius?
Mat 20:14 Take [that] which [is] Thy, and depart: I will to give this last, even as to Thee.
Mat 20:15 Or is it not lawful to Me to do what I will in My own? Or is Thy eye evil because I AM good?
Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first [shall be] last.
          For many are called, but few [are] elects.

Mat 20:17 {Third prediction of the Resurrection}.
        And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said to them,
Mat 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man shall be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death,
Mat 20:19 and shall deliver Him to the gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify Him: and the third day He shall rise up.

Mat 20:20 {James and John}.
        Then came to Him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, worshipping Him, and asking something from Him.
Mat 20:21 But He said to her, What will Thou? She says to Him,
        Grant that these My two sons may sit, the one on Thy right [hand], and one on the left in Thy Kingdom.
Mat 20:22 But Jesus answering, said,
         Ye have not known what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I should drink of,
        and to be baptized with the baptism that I baptized [with]?
        They say to Him, We are able.
Mat 20:23 And He says to them, Ye shall drink indeed of My cup, and with the baptism that I baptized with ye shall be baptized:
        but to sit upon My right [hand], and on My left, is not Mine to give,
        but to them for whom it has been prepared by My Father.
Mat 20:24 And the ten having heard, they were indignant about the two brethren.
Mat 20:25
        But Jesus called them, and said,
        Ye have known that the rulers of the gentiles dominate over them,
        and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
Mat 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whoever may wish to become great among you, let him be your servant:
Mat 20:27 and whoever may wish to be chief amoung you, let him be your bondman:
Mat 20:28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve,
        and to give His soul a ransom for many.

Mat 20:29 {Son of David, have mercy}.
        And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.
Mat 20:30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the way, when they having heard that Jesus passes by, cried out, saying,
        Have mercy on us, Lord, [Thou] Son of David.
Mat 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, that they should be silent: but they cried the more, saying,
        Have mercy on us, Lord, [Thou] Son of David.
Mat 20:32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said,
        What will ye that I may do to you?
Mat 20:33 They say to Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Mat 20:34 But Jesus having compassion, and touched their eyes:
        and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Mat 21:1 {Triumphal entry into Jerusalem}.
        And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Beth-phage, to the Mount of Olives,
        then Jesus sent two disciples,
Mat 21:2 saying to them,
        Go into the village opposed to you, and immediately ye shall find an ass tied,
        and a colt with her, having loosed [them], and bring [them] to Me.
Mat 21:3 And if anyone may say aught to you, ye shall say,
        The Lord has need of them; but immediately He shall send them.
Mat 21:4 Now all this has come to pass, that it should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Mat 21:5 Tell ye the Daughter of Zion,
        Behold, Thy King comes to Thee,
        meek, and sitting upon an ass,
        and a colt the foal of a she-ass. [Isa 62:11 Zec 9:9]
Mat 21:6 And the disciples having gone, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Mat 21:7 they brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, and they set Him on them.
Mat 21:8 But most of [the] multitude spread their garments in the way;
        others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed [them] in the way.
Mat 21:9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying,
        Hosanna to the Son of David: <Blessed [is] He who coming in the name of the LORD>! Hosanna in the highest! [Psa 118:26]
Mat 21:10 And He having entered to Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Mat 21:11 And the multitudes said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Mat 21:12 {Cleansing of the Temple}.
        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;
Mat 21:13 and says to them, It has been written,
          My House shall be called a House of Prayer, but ye made it a den of robbers. [Isa 56:7 Jer 7:11]
Mat 21:14 And [the] blind and [the] lame came to Him in the Temple; and He healed them.
Mat 21:15
        But the chief priests and scribes having seen the wonderful things that He did,
        and the boys crying in the Temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David;
        they were greatly displeased,
Mat 21:16 and said to Him, Hear Thou what these say?
        But Jesus says to them, Yes; have ye never read,
        Out of the mouth of infants and sucklings Thou have perfected praise? [Psa 8:2]
Mat 21:17 {Cursing the fig-tree 2}.
        And He left them, and went out of the city into Beth-any, and He lodged there.
Mat 21:18 Now in the morning as He was returning into the city, He hungered.
Mat 21:19 And He having seen a fig-tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing on it,
        except leaves only, and says to it, Let there be no fruit grow on Thee henceforth forever.
        And immediately the fig-tree withered.
Mat 21:20 And the disciples having seen [it], they marvelled, saying,
        How soon is the fig-tree withered!
Mat 21:21 But Jesus answering, said to them,
        Amen I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig-tree,
        but even if ye may say to this mountain, be Thou removed,
        and be Thou cast into the sea; it shall be done!
Mat 21:22 And all [things] whatever ye may ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Mat 21:23 {Authority of Jesus questioned}.
        And He having come into the Temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him [when] He teaching,
        saying, By what authority do Thou these [things]?
         And who gave Thee this authority?
Mat 21:24 But Jesus answering, said to them,
        I also shall ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also shall tell you by what authority I do these [things].
Mat 21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? From Heaven, or from men?
        And they reasoned with themselves,
        saying, if we should say, From Heaven; He shall say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
Mat 21:26 But if we should say, From men; we fear the multitude: for all hold John as a prophet.
Mat 21:27 And they answering Jesus, said,
         We have not known. And He said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these [things].
Mat 21:28 {Parable of the two sons}.
        But what [do] you think? A [certain] Man had two children;
        and He having come to the first, and said, Child, go, work today in My vineyard.
Mat 21:29 But he answering, said, I will not; but afterward he regretted{repented}, and went.
Mat 21:30 And He having come to the second, and said likewise but he answering, said, I [go], Lord: and went not.
Mat 21:31 Which of the two did the will of the Father?
        They say to Him, The first.
        Jesus says to them,
        Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the whores go before you into the Kingdom of God!
Mat 21:32 For John came to you in [the] way of righteousness,
        and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the whores believed him:
        and ye, when ye having seen [it], regretted not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Mat 21:33 {Parable of the wicked husbandmen}.
        Hear another parable; There was a certain Housemaster, who planted a vineyard,
        and hedged it around, and dug a <winepress> in it, and built a tower,
        and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:
Mat 21:34 and when the time of the fruits drew near,
        He sent His servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Mat 21:35 And the husbandmen having taken His servants, they beat one, and killed another, and another they stoned.
Mat 21:36 Again He sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner.
Mat 21:37 But last of all He sent to them His Son, saying, They shall be reverenced My Son.
Mat 21:38 But the husbandmen having seen the Son, they said among themselves, This is the heir;
        come, let us kill Him, and let us seize on His inheritance.
Mat 21:39 And they having taken Him, and cast Him out of the vineyard, and killed [Him].
Mat 21:40 When therefore the Lord of the vineyard comes,
        what shall He do to those husbandmen?
Mat 21:41 They say to Him, He shall evilly destroy those evil [men],
        and shall let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Mat 21:42
        Jesus says to them,
        Have ye never read in the Scriptures,
        [The] stone which the builders rejected,
        for this has become [the] head of [the] corner. [Psa 118:22]
        This came from the LORD,
        and it is marvellous in our eyes? [Psa 118:23]
Mat 21:43 Therefore I say to you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken from you,
        and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it!
Mat 21:44 And he who falling on this stone, shall be crushed:
        but on whomsoever it may fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Mat 21:45 And the chief priests and Pharisees having heard His parables,
        they knew that He speaks of them.
Mat 21:46 And they seeking to lay hold on Him, they feared the multitudes,
        since they held Him as a prophet.
Mat 22:1 {Parable of the Great Banquet}.
        And Jesus answering, spoke to them again by parables, saying,
Mat 22:2 The Kingdom of Heavens is compared to certain Man, a King, who made a Marriage for His Son,
Mat 22:3 and sent His servants to call those who having been <invited to the Marriage>:
        and they would not to come.
Mat 22:4 Again, He sent other servants, saying, Tell them who having been invited,
        Behold, I have prepared My dinner: My bulls and My fatlings [are] killed,
        and all [things are] ready: come to the Marriage.
Mat 22:5 But they, neglecting [it], and went, one to His field, another to His merchandise.
Mat 22:6 And the remnant took His servants, they mistreated, and killed [them].
Mat 22:7 But [when] the King having heard, He was angry:
        and He having sent His armies, He destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Mat 22:8 Then He says to His servants,
        The Marriage is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.
Mat 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye may find, invite to the Marriage.
Mat 22:10 And <those servants went out into the highways, and collected all as many as they found>,
        <both bad and good: and the Marriage was furnished with reclining [guests]>.
Mat 22:11 And the King having come in to see the reclining [guests],
        He saw there a man who not having clothed a Marriage-garment:
Mat 22:12 and says to him, companion, how came Thou in here, not having a Marriage-garment?
        And he was speechless.
Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants,
        Having bound him, hands and feet, take him away, and cast [him] into the outer darkness:
        there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few [are] elects.

Mat 22:15 {Tribute to Caesar}.
        Then having gone the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle Him in [His] talk.
Mat 22:16 And they sent out to Him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying,
        Master, we have known that Thou are true,
        and teach the way of God in truth,
        neither care Thou for anyone: for Thou regard not the face of men.
Mat 22:17 Tell us therefore, What think Thou?
        Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Mat 22:18 But Jesus having known their wickedness,
        and said, Why tempt ye Me, [ye] hypocrites?
Mat 22:19 Show Me the tribute coin. And they brought to Him a denarius.
Mat 22:20 And He says to them, Whose [is] this image, and superscription?
Mat 22:21 They say to Him, Caesar's.
         Then He says to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar's;
        and to God, the things that are God's.
Mat 22:22 But [when] they having heard, they marvelled, and they having left Him, they departed.
Mat 22:23 {Question about the resurrection}.
        In that day came to Him the Sadducees, who say that there be no resurrection, and asked Him,
Mat 22:24 saying, Master, Moses said,
        If anyone should die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother. [Deu 25:5]
Mat 22:25 Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, having married,
         died; and having no seed{offspring}, left his wife to his brother.
Mat 22:26 Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seven.
Mat 22:27 And last of all the woman also died.
Mat 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven?
        For they all had her.
Mat 22:29 But Jesus answering, said to them,
        Ye are gone astray, [for] ye not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage,
        but are as the Angels of GOD in Heaven.
Mat 22:31 But as concerning the resurrection of the dead,
        have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Mat 22:32 I AM the God of Abraham,
        and the God of Isaac,
        and the God of Jacob? [Exo 3:6]
        GOD is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Mat 22:33 And the multitudes having heard, they were astonished at His doctrine.
Mat 22:34 {The Great Commandment}.
        But the Pharisees having heard that He silenced the Sadducees, they were assembled together.
Mat 22:35 And one of them [who was] a lawyer, asked, tempting Him, and saying,
Mat 22:36 Master, which [is] the great Commandment in the Law?
Mat 22:37 But Jesus said to him, Thou shall love the LORD Thy God with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul, and with all Thy mind. [Deu 6:5]
Mat 22:38 This is the first and great Commandment;
Mat 22:39 and the second [is] like it, <Thou shall love Thy neighbour as thyself>. [Lev 19:18]
Mat 22:40 On these two Commandments are hung all the Law and the Prophets.
Mat 22:41 {Son of David?}.
        While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
Mat 22:42 saying, What [do] you think of the Christ{Messiah}? Whose son is He?
        They say to Him, of David.
Mat 22:43 He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call Him Lord, saying, [Psa 110:1]
Mat 22:44 The LORD said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right [hand],
        until I make Thy enemies Thy stool for Thy feet? [Psa 110:1]
Mat 22:45 If David then calls Him Lord, how is He his Son? [Psa 110:1]
Mat 22:46 And no one was able to answer Him a word,
        neither dared anyone, from that day forth, to ask Him any more [questions].

Mat 23:1 {Woes of the Pharisees}.
        Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes, and to His disciples,
Mat 23:2 saying, on the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees.
Mat 23:3 All therefore, whatever they may say you to observe, [that] observe and do:
        but do not ye according to their works: for they say, and do not.
Mat 23:4 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,
Mat 23:5 but all their works they do to be seen by men:
        they enlarge their phylacteries, and extend the borders of their garments,
Mat 23:6 and love the best seat at suppers, and the chief seat in the synagogues,
Mat 23:7 and greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi;
Mat 23:8 but be not ye called <Rabbi>: for One is your <Leader>, the Christ{Messiah}; and all ye are brethren;
Mat 23:9 and call no [man] your <Father> upon the Earth: for One is your <Father> who [is] in the Heavens;
Mat 23:10 neither be ye called <Leaders>: for One is your <Leader>, the Christ{Messiah};
Mat 23:11 but he who is greatest among you, shall be your servant;
Mat 23:12 and <whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled>;
        <and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted>.
Mat 23:13
        But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
        For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence making long prayers:
        therefore ye shall receive more abundant judgment.
Mat 23:14
        Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
        For ye shut up the Kingdom of Heavens against men: for ye neither go in,
        neither allow ye them that are entering, to go in.
Mat 23:15
        Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
        For ye travel about sea and dry [land] to make one proselyte,
        and when he became it, ye make him double [more] the son of Gehenna than yourselves.
Mat 23:16
        Woe to you, [ye] blind guides, who say,
        Whoever may swear by the Sanctuary, it is nothing;
        but whoever may swear by the gold of the Sanctuary, he is obligated!
Mat 23:17 [Ye] fools, and blind: for which is greater,
        the gold, or the Sanctuary that sanctifying the gold?
Mat 23:18 And whoever may swear by the Altar, it is nothing;
        but whoever may swear by the gift that is upon it, he is obligated.
Mat 23:19 [Ye] fools, and blind: for which [is] greater,
        the gift, or the Altar that sanctifies the gift?
Mat 23:20 Whoever therefore did swear by the Altar,
        swears by it, and by all [things] upon it.
Mat 23:21 And whoever did swear by the Sanctuary,
        swears by it, and by Him who dwelling in Him.
Mat 23:22 And He who did swear by Heaven,
        swears by the throne of GOD, and by Him that sitting upon it.
Mat 23:23
        Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
        <For ye pay tithe of mint, and anise, and cumin,
        and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the Law, the judgment, and the mercy, and the faith>:
        these ye ought to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
Mat 23:24 [Ye] blind guides, who straining out the gnat, and swallowing the camel.
Mat 23:25
        Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
        For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of ravening and excess.
Mat 23:26 [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and platter, that also the outside of them may be clean.
Mat 23:27
        Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
        For ye are like whitened sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward,
        but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28 So also ye, are appeared outwardly righteous to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Mat 23:29
         Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
         Because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,
Mat 23:30 and say, If we were in the days of our fathers,
         we were not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Therefore ye are witnesses to yourselves, that ye are the sons of them who having murdered the prophets.
Mat 23:32 And fill ye up the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] offspring of vipers, how can ye escape the Judgment of Gehenna?
Mat 23:34 Therefore behold, I send to you prophets,
          and wise men, and scribes; and [some] of them ye shall kill and crucify,
          and [some] of them ye shall scourge in your synagogues, and shall persecute [them] from city to city:
Mat 23:35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood being shed upon the Earth,
          from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah,
          whom ye murdered between the Sanctuary and the Altar.
Mat 23:36 Amen I say to you, All these [things] shall come upon this generation!
Mat 23:37
        Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killing the prophets,
        and stoning those who have been sent to her; how often would I to gather Thy children,
        even as a hen gathers her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say to you, Ye may not see Me henceforth, until ye may say,
        <Blessed [is] He who coming in the name of the LORD>! [Psa 118:26]

Mat 24:1 {End of the Temple, Great Tribulation and the second coming}.
        And Jesus went out, and departed from the Temple:
        and His disciples came to Him to show Him the buildings of the Temple.
Mat 24:2 But Jesus said to them, See ye not all these [things]?
        Amen I say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down!
Mat 24:3
        And as He sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying,
        Tell us, when shall these [things] be?
        And what [should be] the <sign of Thy coming>, and of the end of the Age{World}?
Mat 24:4 And Jesus answering, said to them,
        Take heed lest anyone may deceived you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in My name,
         saying, I AM the Christ{Messiah}; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6 But ye shall be about to hear of wars, and reports of wars: see that ye be not troubled:
        for all [what] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
        and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in [diverse] places.
Mat 24:8 All these [are the] beginning of pangs.
Mat 24:9 Then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you:
        and ye shall be being hated by all nations for My name's sake.
Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:12 And <because lawlessness [goes] to multiply, the love of many shall be cold>.
Mat 24:13 But he who having endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Mat 24:14 And this <Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole World>,
        for a testimony to all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mat 24:15 When therefore ye may see the <Abomination of Desolation>, was spoken through <Daniel> the prophet,
        standing in [the] Holy place, <(let him who reading understand)>, [Dan 9:27 Dan 11:31 Dan 12:11 Mar 13:14]
Mat 24:16 then let them who are in Judea <flee> to the mountains:
Mat 24:17 let him who is on the roof not come down to take anything out of his house:
Mat 24:18 and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment.
Mat 24:19 But woe to them that are pregnant, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that <your flight> may not be in the winter, neither on the Sabbath:
Mat 24:21 for then shall be <Great Tribulation>,
        such as has not been since [the] beginning of the World,
        not until now, nor ever should be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days were shortened, there would no flesh be saved:
        but for the elects' sake those days shall be shortened.
Mat 24:23 Then if anyone may say to you,
          Behold here [is] the Christ{Messiah}, or here; ye should not believe.
Mat 24:24 For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders;
         so as to deceive, if possible even the elects.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have said you before.
Mat 24:26 If therefore they may say to you, Behold, He is in the desert;
        go not forth: behold, [He is] in the secret chambers; ye should not believe.
Mat 24:27 For as the Lightning comes out of [the] east, and shines even to [the] west; so also shall be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:28 For wherever the carcass may be, there shall the eagles be gathered.
Mat 24:29 But 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:
Mat 24:30 and then shall be appeared the sign of the <Son of Man in the Heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the Earth mourn>,
        <and they shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of Heaven> with power and great glory. [Dan 7:13]
Mat 24:31 And He shall send His Angels with a great voice of a shofar, and they shall gather:
        His elects from the four winds, from one end of Heavens to the [other] end of them.
Mat 24:32 {Parable of the budding fig-tree}.
        Now learn a parable of the fig-tree;
        When her branch is yet tender and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] near:
Mat 24:33 so also ye, when ye may see all these [things], know that it is near,
        [even at] the doors.
Mat 24:34 Amen I say to you, This generation should not pass away, until all these [things] should come to pass!
Mat 24:35
        The Heaven and the Earth shall pass away, but My words should not pass away.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and the hour has known [by] no one,
          not the Angels of Heavens, except My Father only.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noah [were], so shall be also the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:38 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,
Mat 24:39 and knew not until the flood came,
        and took them all away: so also shall be the coming of the Son of Man.
Mat 24:40 Then two [men] shall be in the field; the one is be taken, and one is left.
Mat 24:41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one is be taken, and one is left.
Mat 24:42 {Parable of the faithful servant}.
        Watch therefore; for ye have not known what hour your Lord comes.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the housemaster had known in what watch the thief comes,
        he would watch, and would not allow his house to be broken into.
Mat 24:44 Therefore become ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man comes.
Mat 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord has set over His household,
        to give them food in due season?
Mat 24:46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his Lord when He coming shall find so doing!
Mat 24:47 Amen I say to you, that He shall set him over all His goods!
Mat 24:48 But if that evil servant may say in his heart, my Lord delays to come;
Mat 24:49 and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
Mat 24:50 the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for Him,
        and in an hour which he not knowns.
Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and shall appoint him his portion with the hypocrites:
        there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Mat 25:1 {Parable of the ten virgins}.
        Then shall the Kingdom of Heavens be compared to ten virgins,
        who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the <Bridegroom>.
Mat 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
Mat 25:3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 Now while the Bridegroom tarried,
        they all slumbered and slept.
Mat 25:6 And at midnight a cry has been made,
        Behold, the Bridegroom comes; go ye out to meet Him.
Mat 25:7 Then all those virgins were raised, and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said to the wise,
        Give us of your oil: for our lamps are quenched.
Mat 25:9 But the wise answered, saying,
        [Not so]; lest there may be not enough for us and you:
        but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Mat 25:10 And while they were going to buy,
        the Bridegroom came; and they that were ready,
        went in with Him to the Marriage, and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 But afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 But He answering, said,
        Amen I say to you, I have not known you!
Mat 25:13 Watch therefore; for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man comes.
Mat 25:14 {Parable of the talents}.
        As a man travelling into a far country, [who] called His own servants, and delivered to them His goods.
Mat 25:15 And to one He gave five talents, to another two, and to another one;
        to every man according to his own ability; and immediately took His journey.
Mat 25:16 Then he who having received the five talents, went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
Mat 25:17 And also he who [having received] the two, he also gained other two.
Mat 25:18 But he who having received the one, went and dug in the earth, and hid his Lord's money.
Mat 25:19 And after a long time the Lord of those servants comes, and counts with them.
Mat 25:20 And he who having received the five talents, having come and brought other five talents,
        saying, Lord, Thou delivered to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.
Mat 25:21 His Lord said to him,
        Well [done], good and faithful servant; Thou were faithful over a few things,
        I shall set Thee over many [things]: enter Thou into the joy of Thy Lord.
Mat 25:22 And he also that having received the two talents came, and said,
        Lord, Thou delivered to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
Mat 25:23 His Lord said to him,
        Well [done], good and faithful servant; Thou were faithful over a few things,
        I shall set Thee over many [things]: enter Thou into the joy of Thy Lord.
Mat 25:24 And he who having received the one talent, having come and said,
        Lord, I knew Thee that Thou are a hard Man,
        reaping whence Thou have not sown, and gathering where Thou have not strewed:
Mat 25:25 and I was afraid, and went and hid Thy talent in the Earth: behold, [there] Thou have [what is] Thy.
Mat 25:26 But his Lord answering, said to him,
        [Thou] wicked and slothful servant,
        Thou had known that I reap where I have not sown, and gather whence I have not strewed:
Mat 25:27 it behoved Thee then to put My money to the exchangers,
        and [then] at My coming I should have received My own with interest.
Mat 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] to him who having ten talents.
Mat 25:29 For to every one that having shall be given, and he shall be abound more:
        but from him that having not shall be taken away even that which He has.
Mat 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness:
        there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Mat 25:31 {Parable of the sheep and the goats}.
        But when the Son of Man should come in His glory,
        and all the Holy Angels with Him,
        then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory:
Mat 25:32 and before Him shall be gathered all nations:
        and He shall separate them one from another,
        as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 and He shall set the sheep on His right [hand],
        but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say to them on His right [hand],
        Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom,
        prepared for you from the foundation of the World:
Mat 25:35 for I was hungry, and ye gave Me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink:
        I was a stranger, and ye took Me in:
Mat 25:36 naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me:
        I was in prison, and ye came to Me.
Mat 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying,
        Lord, when saw we Thee hungry, and fed [Thee]? Or thirsty, and gave [Thee] drink?
Mat 25:38 When saw we Thee a stranger, and took [Thee] in?
        Or naked, and clothed [Thee]?
Mat 25:39 Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came to Thee?
Mat 25:40 And the King answering, shall say to them,
        Amen I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] to one of the least of these My brethren, ye did [it] to Me!
Mat 25:41 Then shall He say also to them on the left [hand],
        Depart from Me, ye cursed, into the everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his Angels:
Mat 25:42 for I was hungry, and ye gave Me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink:
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in:
        naked, and ye clothed not Me:
        sick, and in prison, and ye visited not Me.
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer Him, saying,
        Lord, when saw we Thee hungry, or thirsty,
        or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to Thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall He answer them, saying,
        Amen I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to Me!
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into everlasting life.

Mat 26:1 {Plot to kill}.
        And it came to pass, when Jesus finished all these sayings, He said to His disciples,
Mat 26:2 Ye have known that after two days comes the Passover,
        and the Son of Man is betrayed to be crucified.
Mat 26:3 Then assembled the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people,
        in the palace of the High Priest, who being called Caiaphas,
Mat 26:4 and consulted that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill [Him].
Mat 26:5 But they said, Not on the Festival, lest there be tumult among the people.
Mat 26:6 {Ointment of Jesus}.
        Now Jesus having been in Beth-any, in the house of Simon the leper,
Mat 26:7 there came to Him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment,
        and poured it on His head as He reclining [at table].
Mat 26:8 But His disciples having seen [it], they were indignant, saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?
Mat 26:9 For this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
Mat 26:10 But Jesus having known, said to them, Why trouble ye the woman?
        For she has wrought a good work upon Me.
Mat 26:11 For ye have the poor always with you; but Me ye have not always.
Mat 26:12 For in that she has poured this ointment on My body, she did [it] for My burial.
Mat 26:13 Amen I say to you, Wherever this Gospel may be preached in the whole World,
          also what she has done shall be spoken, for a memorial of her!
Mat 26:14 {Blood money for Judas}.
        Then one of the twelve, who being called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
Mat 26:15 and said, What will you give to me, and I shall deliver Him up to you?
        And they weighed to him thirty silver pieces. [Zec 11:12]
Mat 26:16 And from then he sought opportunity that he might betray Him.

Mat 26:17 {Last Supper}.
        Now the first [day] of the Unleavened [Bread], the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him,
        Where will Thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the Passover{beginning of the 14th}?
Mat 26:18 But He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near;
        with Thee I shall keep the Passover with My disciples.
Mat 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they prepared the Passover.
Mat 26:20 Now becoming evening, He reclined [at table] with the twelve.
Mat 26:21 And as they were eating, He said,
        Amen I say to you, that one of you shall betray Me!
Mat 26:22
        And they being very sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to Him,
        Lord, is it I?
Mat 26:23 But He answering, said,
        He who dipping [his] hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me.
Mat 26:24 Indeed the Son of Man goes, as it has been written concerning Him:
        but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!
        Good were it if he was never born for that man!
Mat 26:25 Then Judas, who betraying Him, answering, said,
        Rabbi, is it I?
        He says to him, Thou have said.
Mat 26:26
        And as they were eating, Jesus having taken bread,
        and having blessed, and broke [it], and gave to the disciples,
        and said, Take, eat; this is My body.
Mat 26:27 And He having taken the cup, and He having given thanks, and gave to them,
        saying, Drink of it ye all;
Mat 26:28 <for this is My blood of the New Covenant>,
        which being shed for many for forgiveness of sins.
Mat 26:29 But I say to you, that I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine,
        until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's Kingdom!

Mat 26:30 {Gethsemane}.
        And they having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Mat 26:31 Then says Jesus to them,
        All ye shall be offended at Me this night: for it has been written,
        I shall smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. [Zec 13:7]
Mat 26:32 But after that I be risen, I shall go before you into Galilee.
Mat 26:33 But Peter answering, said to Him,
        Though all shall be offended at Thee, [yet] I shall never be offended.
Mat 26:34 Jesus said to him,
        Amen I say to Thee, that this night, before a cock to crow, Thou shall deny Me thrice!
Mat 26:35 Peter says to Him,
        Even if I should die with Thee, yet shall I not deny Thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Mat 26:36
        Then comes Jesus with them to a place being called Gethsemane{Oil press},
        and says to the disciples,
        Sit ye there, while I having gone away, I should pray over there.
Mat 26:37 And He took Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and to be distressed.
Mat 26:38 Then He says to them,
        My soul is very sorrowful, even to death: abide ye here, and watch with Me.
Mat 26:39 And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed,
        saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou [will].
Mat 26:40 And He comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter,
        So, could ye not to watch with Me one hour?
Mat 26:41 Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
Mat 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed,
        saying, My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Thy will be done.
Mat 26:43 And He having come and finds them sleeping again: for their eyes were heavy.
Mat 26:44 And He left them, having gone away again, having said the same speech, and prayed thrice.
Mat 26:45 {Arrest of Jesus}.
         Then He comes to His disciples, and says to them,
          Sleep on now, and take [your] rest:
         behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mat 26:46 Rise, let us go; behold, he has drawn near who betraying Me.
Mat 26:47 And while He was yet speaking, Behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came,
        and with him a great multitude with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Mat 26:48 Now he who betraying Him, gave them a sign, saying,
        Whomsoever I shall kiss, it is He; hold Him fast.
Mat 26:49 And immediately he having come to Jesus, said,
        Hail Rabbi; and kissed Him.
Mat 26:50 But Jesus said to him,
        Companion, Why are Thou present?
        Then they having come, and laid hands on Jesus, and took Him.
Mat 26:51 And behold, one of them, who were with Jesus, stretched forth the hand, and drew his sword,
        and struck a servant of the High Priest, and smote off his ear.
Mat 26:52 Then says Jesus to him,
        Return Thy sword into its place: for all they that having taken [the] sword, shall perish by [the] sword.
Mat 26:53 Or think Thou that I cannot now pray to My Father,
        and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of Angels?
Mat 26:54 But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Mat 26:55 In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes,
        Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take Me?
        I sat daily with you teaching in the Temple, and ye laid no hold on Me.
Mat 26:56 Now all this has come to pass, that the Scriptures of the Prophets should be fulfilled.
        Then all the disciples forsook Him, and fled.
Mat 26:57 {By Caiaphas}.
        And they that having laid hold on Jesus, led Him away to Caiaphas the High Priest,
        where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Mat 26:58 But Peter followed Him afar off, to the High Priest's palace,
        and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.
Mat 26:59 Now the chief priests and elders, and all the council, sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put Him to death;
Mat 26:60 but found none: even though many false witnesses came, [yet] found they none. At last having come two false witnesses,
Mat 26:61 and said, This [Man] said,
          I be able to destroy the Sanctuary of God, and to build Him by three days.
Mat 26:62 And the High Priest standing up, and said to Him,
          Answer Thou nothing, what [is it which] these testify against Thee?
Mat 26:63 But Jesus kept silent. And the High Priest answering, said to Him,
        I adjure Thee by the Living God, that Thou may tell us if Thou are the Christ{Messiah} the Son of God.
Mat 26:64 Jesus says to him, Thou have said: but I say to you,
        Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man sitting upon [the] right [hand] of power, and coming on the clouds of Heaven! [Psa 110:1 Dan 7:13]
Mat 26:65 Then the High Priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy;
        what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye heard His blasphemy.
Mat 26:66 What [do] you think? They answering, said, He is liable of death.
Mat 26:67 Then they spit in His face, and buffeted Him; and others slapped,
Mat 26:68 saying, Prophesy to us, Thou Christ, Who is he who having smote Thee?
Mat 26:69 {Peter's denial}.
        But Peter sat outside in the Hall: and a maid-servant came to him, saying,
        Thou also was with Jesus the Galilean.
Mat 26:70 But he denied before [them] all, saying, I have not known what Thou say.
Mat 26:71 And he having gone out into the gate, another [maid] saw him,
        and says to them that were there, This [man] was also with Jesus the Nazarene.
Mat 26:72 And again he denied with an oath, I have not known the Man.
Mat 26:73 And after a while they that standing by having come to him, and said to Peter,
         Truly Thou also are [one] of them; for even Thy speech makes Thee known.
Mat 26:74 Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying],
        I have not known the Man. And immediately a cock crowed.
Mat 26:75 And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, who having said to him,
        Before a cock to crow, Thou shall deny Me thrice!
        And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Mat 27:1 {Judas repented}.
        Now becoming morning, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put Him to death.
Mat 27:2 And they having bound Him, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Mat 27:3 Then Judas, who betrayed Him,
        having seen that he was condemned, regretted and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Mat 27:4 saying, I sinned in that I having betrayed innocent blood.
        And they said, What [is that] to us? Thou shall see.
Mat 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the Sanctuary,
        and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Mat 27:6 And the chief priests having taken the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the Korban{offering},
        because it is the price of blood.
Mat 27:7 And they having taken counsel, and bought with them the potter's field,
        for the burial of strangers.
Mat 27:8 Therefore until today that field has been called, The field of blood.
Mat 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet,
        saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him that was valued,
        whom they did value of the sons of Israel;
Mat 27:10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

Mat 27:11 {By Pilate}.
        But Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked Him,
        saying, Are Thou the King of the Jews?
        But Jesus said to him, Thou say.
Mat 27:12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing. [Isa 53:7]
Mat 27:13 Then says Pilate to Him,
        Hear Thou not how many [things] they testify against Thee?
Mat 27:14 And He answered him to not one saying; so that the governor to marvel greatly.
Mat 27:15 {Barabbas and Crucifixion of Jesus}.
        Now at [that] Festival, the governor had accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner,
        whom they would.
Mat 27:16 And they had then a notable prisoner, being called Barabbas.
Mat 27:17 Therefore when they were assembled, Pilate said to them,
        Whom will ye that I should release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, who being called Christ?
Mat 27:18 For he had known that for envy they have delivered Him.
Mat 27:19 When he was sitting upon the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying,
        Have Thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many [things] today in a dream, because of Him.
Mat 27:20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask [for] Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Mat 27:21 But the governor answering, said to them,
        Which of the two will ye that I should release to you? And they said, Barabbas.
Mat 27:22 Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who being called Christ?
        They all say to him, Let Him be crucified!
Mat 27:23 And the governor said, For what evil has He done?
        But they cried out the more, saying, Let Him be crucified!
Mat 27:24 When Pilate seeing that he could not prevail at all, but [that] rather a tumult is coming,
        having taken water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude,
        saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous: ye shall see.
Mat 27:25 And all the people answering, said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.
Mat 27:26 Then he released Barabbas to them: and he scourged Jesus, he delivered [Him] that He might be crucified.
Mat 27:27
        Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium{judgment-hall},
          and they gathered to Him the whole band.
Mat 27:28 And they stripped Him, and put on Him a scarlet robe.
Mat 27:29 And they having 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?
Mat 27:30 And they spit upon Him, and took the reed, and struck Him on the head.
Mat 27:31 And when they mocked Him, they stripped the robe from Him,
        and put His own garments on Him, and led Him away to crucify.
Mat 27:32 And as they came out, they found a Cyrenian man,
        Simon by name: him they constrained that he might bear His cross.
Mat 27:33 And they having come to a place being called Golgotha,
        that being called, a place of a skull.
Mat 27:34 They gave Him vinegar to drink,
        mingled with gall: and He having tasted [of it], He would not drink.
Mat 27:35 And they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting a lot;
        so that it should be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
        They divided My garments among them, and they cast for My clothing a lot. [Psa 22:18]
Mat 27:36 And sitting down, they guarded Him there:
Mat 27:37 and set up over His head His accusation has been written, this is Jesus the King of the Jews.
Mat 27:38
        Then two robbers are crucified with Him:
        one on the right, and one on the left.
Mat 27:39 And they that passed by, blasphemed Him, shaking their heads,
Mat 27:40 and saying, Thou that destroy the Sanctuary, and build [Him] in three days, save Thyself.
        If Thou are the Son of God, come down from the cross.
Mat 27:41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said,
Mat 27:42 He saved others; He cannot save Himself.
        If He is King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross,
        and we shall believe Him.
Mat 27:43 He has trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him: for He said,
        I AM the Son of God.
Mat 27:44 And also the same robbers who were crucified with Him, reviled Him.
Mat 27:45
        Now from the sixth hour{noon} there came darkness over all the Earth to the ninth hour{circa 3 PM}.
Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour{circa 3 PM},
         Jesus cried with a great voice, saying,
        Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is [to say],
        My God, my God, why have Thou forsaken Me? [Psa 22:1]
Mat 27:47 Some of them that stood there, when they having heard [that], said,
        This [man] calls for Elijah.
Mat 27:48 And immediately one of them having run, and having taken a sponge,
        and having filled [it] with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink.
Mat 27:49 The rest said, Forbear, let us see if Elijah comes [and] shall saving Him.
Mat 27:50 But Jesus, when He having cried again with a great voice, and expired.
Mat 27:51 And behold, the veil of the Sanctuary was rent in two,
        from the top to the bottom: and the Earth shook, and the rocks rent;
Mat 27:52 and the graves were opened, and many bodies of the Saints who slept, were raised,
Mat 27:53 and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the Holy City, and appeared to many.
Mat 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with Him, guarding Jesus,
        having seen the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was [the] Son of God!
Mat 27:55 And many women were there (beholding afar off) who followed Jesus from Galilee, serving Him:
Mat 27:56 among whom was Mary Magdalene,
        and Mary: (the mother of James and Joses), and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Mat 27:57 {Buried in the Tomb}.
        Now becoming evening, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph,
        who also himself was discipled to Jesus.
Mat 27:58 He having come to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
        Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
Mat 27:59 And Joseph having taken the body. He wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Mat 27:60 and laid it in his own new Tomb, which he hewed out in the rock;
          and he having rolled a great stone to the door of the Tomb, and departed.
Mat 27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting opposed to the sepulchre.
Mat 27:62 {Resurrection of Jesus}.
        Now the next morrow after the preparation,
        the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,
Mat 27:63 saying, lord, we remembered that this deceiver said, while He was yet living,
        After three days I be arise.
Mat 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day,
        lest His disciples having come by night, and steal Him away, and say to the people,
        He was raised from the dead: and the last error shall be worse than the first.
Mat 27:65 But Pilate said to them, ye have a watch: go, make [it] as secure as ye have known.
Mat 27:66 But they having gone, and having sealed the stone, made the sepulchre secure with a watch.
Mat 28:1
        Now in the end of the <Sabbaths>, at dawning towards the First of the Weeks, [Lev 23:6-7 Lev 23:15-16]
        came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Mat 28:2 And behold, there came a great earthquake: for an Angel of the LORD having descended from Heaven,
        and He having come and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Mat 28:3 His countenance was like Lightning, and His garment white as snow.
Mat 28:4 And for fear of Him these that guarding trembled and became as dead [men].
Mat 28:5 But the Angel answering, said to the women,
        Fear ye not: for I have known that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified.
Mat 28:6 He is not here: for He was raised, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Mat 28:7 And having gone quickly, and tell His disciples, that He was raised from the dead,
        and behold, He goes before you into Galilee;
        there shall ye see Him: (behold, I have told you).
Mat 28:8 And they departed quickly from the Tomb, with fear and great joy;
        and ran to bring word to His disciples.
Mat 28:9 And as they were going to tell His disciples, and behold, Jesus met them,
        saying, All hail. And they having come, and held Him by the feet, and worshiped Him.
Mat 28:10 Then says Jesus to them, Be not afraid: go tell My brethren, that they go into Galilee,
        and there shall they see Me.
Mat 28:11 {Bribe of the soldiers}.
        Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch having come into the city,
        and showed to the chief priests all the things that having been done.
Mat 28:12 And they having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel,
        they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
Mat 28:13 saying, Say ye, His disciples having come by night, and stole Him while we sleeping.
Mat 28:14 And if this should be heard by the governor, we shall persuade him, and shall make you secure.
Mat 28:15 But they having taken the money, and did as they were instructed:
        and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until today.

Mat 28:16 {The Great Commission}.
        Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee,
        to the mountain where Jesus appointed them.
Mat 28:17 And they having seen Him, they worshiped Him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus having come, and spoke to them, saying, All authority was given to Me in Heaven and upon Earth.
Mat 28:19 Having gone therefore, <disciple all nations>,
        <baptizing them> into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all [things] whatever I commanded you:
        and behold, <I AM with you all the days>, until the end of the Age{World}. Amen!

Mar 1:1 [Scroll 24 Gospel of Mark].
        {The testimony of John the Baptist}.
        Beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ [the] Son of God;
Mar 1:2 as it has been written in the <Prophets>,
        Behold, I send My messenger;
        before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee. [Mal 3:1]
Mar 1:3 A voice crying in the wilderness,
        Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
        make His paths straight. [Isa 40:3]
Mar 1:4
        John came baptizing in the wilderness,
        and preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
Mar 1:5 And there went out to him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem,
        and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan,
        confessing their sins.
Mar 1:6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins;
        and he eating grasshoppers and wild honey;
Mar 1:7 and preached, saying,
        He comes after me who [is] mightier than I,
        of whom I am not worthy to stoop [down] and unloose the thong of His shoes.
Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you in water: but He shall baptize you in [the] Holy Spirit.
Mar 1:9 {Baptism of Jesus}.
        And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth to Galilee,
        and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Mar 1:10 And immediately coming up from the water, He saw [that] the Heavens renting open,
        and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.
Mar 1:11 And there came a voice from the Heavens,
        [saying], Thou are My beloved Son, in whom I delighted.

Mar 1:12 {Temptation from the devil}.
        And immediately the Spirit drives Him into the wilderness.
Mar 1:13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan:
        and was with the beasts, and the Angels served Him.

Mar 1:14 {The Gospel}.
        And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee,
        preaching <the Gospel of the Kingdom of God>,
Mar 1:15 and saying that the time has been fulfilled,
         and <the Kingdom of God has drawn near:
         repent ye, and believe the Gospel>.
Mar 1:16 {Fishers followed Him}.
        Then He walking by the sea of Galilee,
        He saw Simon, and Andrew his brother,
        casting a net in the sea: for they were fishers.
Mar 1:17 And Jesus said to them, Come ye after Me,
        and I shall make you to become fishers of men.
Mar 1:18 And immediately they forsook their nets, and followed Him.
Mar 1:19 And He having 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.
Mar 1:20 And immediately He called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship,
        with the hired servants, and went after Him.

Mar 1:21 {A demon in the synagogue}.
        And they go into Capernaum;
        and immediately on the Sabbaths He having entered into the synagogue and taught.
Mar 1:22 And they were astonished at His doctrine:
        for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Mar 1:23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Mar 1:24 saying, Ah; what have we to do with Thee, [Thou] Jesus [the] Nazarene?
        Are Thou come to destroy us?
        I have known Thee who Thou are, the Holy [One] of God.
Mar 1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying,
        Be silenced, and come out of him.
Mar 1:26 And the unclean spirit having torn him,
        and cried with a great voice, he came out of him.
Mar 1:27 And they came all amazed, so as to discuss among themselves, saying,
        What thing is this? What new doctrine [is] this?
        For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.
Mar 1:28 And His fame spread immediately abroad throughout all the region around Galilee.

Mar 1:29 {Healing of Peter's wife's mother}.
        And immediately, they having come out of the synagogue,
        they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Mar 1:30 But the mother-in-law of Simon was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they tell Him of her.
Mar 1:31 And He having come and took her by the hand, and lifted her up;
        and immediately the fever left her, and she served them.
Mar 1:32 {Exorcising at sunset}.
        Now becoming evening, when the sun set,
        they brought to Him all that are sick, and them that being possessed with demons.
Mar 1:33 And all the city was gathered at the door.
Mar 1:34 And He healed many that are sick with diverse diseases, and cast out many demons;
        and allow not the demons to speak, because they had known Him.
Mar 1:35
        And early, by darkness exceedingly having risen up,
        He went out and departed into a desert place, and was there praying.
Mar 1:36 And Simon, and they that were with Him, followed after Him.
Mar 1:37 And they having found Him, they say to Him, All seek for Thee.
Mar 1:38 And He says to them,
        Let us go into the next towns, that I there also may preach for this purpose I have come.
Mar 1:39 And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.

Mar 1:40 {Healing of the leper}.
        And a leper comes to Him, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying to Him,
        If Thou will, Thou can make me clean.
Mar 1:41 But Jesus, having compassion, put forth the hand, and touched him, and says to him,
        I will: be Thou clean.
Mar 1:42 And He having spoken to him, immediately the leprosy departed from him,
        and he was cleansed.
Mar 1:43 And He strictly charged him, and immediately sent him away;
Mar 1:44 and says to him, See Thou should tell nothing to anyone;
         but go, show thyself to the priest,
         and offer for Thy cleansing, those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. [Lev 13:49 Lev 14:2-4]
Mar 1:45 But he went out, and began to preach much, and to blaze abroad the matter,
        so that He could no more openly enter into the city,
        but was outside in desert places: and they came to Him from everywhere.

Mar 2:1 {Healing of the paralytic}.
        And again He entered into Capernaum,
        after [some] days; and it was understood that He is in the house.
Mar 2:2 And immediately many were assembled, so that there was no room to receive [them],
        even not so much as about the door: and He spoke the Word to them.
Mar 2:3 And they come to Him, bringing a paralytic, who being borne by four.
Mar 2:4 And they could not meet Him because of the multitude,
        they uncovered the roof where He was: and they having broken [it] up,
        they let down the bed on which a paralytic was lying.
Mar 2:5 But Jesus, having seen their faith, He says to the paralytic,
        Child Thy sins have been forgiven Thee.
Mar 2:6 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mar 2:7 why this [Man] thus speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins except One, the God?
Mar 2:8 And immediately Jesus knowing in His Spirit that they so reasoned within themselves,
        He said to them, Why reason ye these [things] in your hearts?
Mar 2:9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic,
        Thy sins have been forgiven Thee;
        or to say, Arise, and take up Thy bed, and walk?
Mar 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of Man has authority upon the Earth to forgive sins,
        He says to the paralytic,
Mar 2:11 I say to Thee,
        Arise! And take up Thy bed, and go into Thy house.
Mar 2:12 And immediately he was raised, having taken up the bed, and went forth before them all;
        so that they were all astonished, and glorified God,
        saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

Mar 2:13 {Levi is called}.
        And He went forth again by the sea; and all the multitude resorted to Him, and He taught them.
Mar 2:14 And as He passing by, He saw Levi the [son] of Alpheus, sitting at the receipt of custom, and says to him,
        Follow Me. And he standing up, and followed Him.
Mar 2:15 And it came to pass, that as He was reclining [at table] in his house,
        many publicans and sinners also sat at table with Jesus and His disciples;
        for there were many, and they followed Him.
Mar 2:16 And the scribes and Pharisees having seen Him eating with publicans and sinners,
        they said to His disciples, How is it that He eats and drinks with publicans and sinners.
Mar 2:17 But [when] Jesus having heard, He says to them,
        They that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
        I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. [Luk 5:31-32]

Mar 2:18 {Fasting}.
        And the disciples of John, and those of the Pharisees were fasting: and they come, and say to Him,
        Why do the disciples of John, and those of the Pharisees fast, but Thy disciples fast not?
Mar 2:19 And Jesus said to them,
        Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the Bridegroom is with them?
        As long as they have the Bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Mar 2:20 But the days shall come, when the Bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast in those days.
Mar 2:21 {Parable of new wine into old wineskins}.
        No one also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment:
        otherwise the new piece that filled it up, takes away from the old, and the rent becomes worse.
Mar 2:22 And no one puts new wine into old bottles:
        otherwise the new wine does burst the bottles, and the wine is poured out, and the bottles shall be perished:
        but new wine must be put into new bottles.

Mar 2:23 {Plucking the ears on the Sabbaths}.
        And it came to pass, that He went through the grain-fields on the Sabbaths;
        and His disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears [of grain].
Mar 2:24 And the Pharisees said to Him, Behold, why do they on the Sabbaths that which is not lawful?
Mar 2:25 And He said to them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and hungered,
         he and those with him?
Mar 2:26 How he went into the House of God, about the time of Abiathar the High Priest,
        and ate the show-bread, which it is not lawful to eat, except for the priests, [1Sa 21:6]
        and gave also to them who being with him?
Mar 2:27 And He said to them, The <Sabbath came for the man, and not the man for the Sabbath>:
Mar 2:28 therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
Mar 3:1 {Healing hand on the Sabbaths}.
        And He entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who having a withered hand.
Mar 3:2 And they watched Him,
        [to see] if He shall heal him on the Sabbaths; that they might accuse Him.
Mar 3:3 And He says to the man who having the withered hand, Stand forth.
Mar 3:4 And He says to them,
        Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbaths, or to do evil? To save a soul, or to kill?
        But they were silent.
Mar 3:5 And He having looked around on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts,
        He says to the man, Stretch out Thy hand.
        And he stretched [it] forth: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
Mar 3:6 And the Pharisees went out, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Mar 3:7 {More secret miracles}.
        But Jesus withdrew Himself with His Disciples to the sea:
        and a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea.
Mar 3:8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea{Edom}, and [from] beyond the Jordan;
        and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude,
        having heard what great things He was doing, came to Him.
Mar 3:9 And He spoke to His disciples, that a boat should wait on Him, because of the multitude,
        lest they might throng Him.
Mar 3:10 For He healed many; so that they pressed upon Him that they might to touch Him, as many as had plagues.
Mar 3:11 And the unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him,
        and cried, saying, Thou are the Son of God!
Mar 3:12 And He strictly charged them, that they should not make Him known.

Mar 3:13 {The twelve apostles}.
        And He goes up upon the mountain,
        and calls whom He would: and they came to Him.
Mar 3:14 And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him,
        and that He might send them forth to preach,
Mar 3:15 and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out demons.
Mar 3:16
        And Simon He surnamed Peter,
Mar 3:17 and James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the brother of James,
        (and He surnamed them Bene-rgaz, which is, Sons of thunder),
Mar 3:18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the [son] of Alpheus,
        and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite{Zealot},
Mar 3:19 and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him: and they went into a house.

Mar 3:20 {Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit 1}.
        And the multitude comes together again, so that they are not even able to eat bread.
Mar 3:21 And when those with Him having heard, they went out to lay hold on Him:
        for they said, He is beside Himself.
Mar 3:22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said,
        He has Beelzebul, and by the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.
Mar 3:23 And He called them, and said to them in parables,
        How can Satan cast out Satan?
Mar 3:24 And if a kingdom should be divided against itself,
        that kingdom is not able to stand.
Mar 3:25 And if a house should be divided against itself,
        that house is not able to stand.
Mar 3:26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided,
        He cannot stand, but has an end.
Mar 3:27 {Parable of the strong man}.
        No one can enter into the strong [man's] house,
        and to plunder his goods, except He may first bind the strong [man];
        and then he shall plunder his house.
Mar 3:28 {Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit 2}.
        Amen I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven of the sons of men,
        and any blasphemies with which they may blaspheme:
Mar 3:29 but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness,
        but is liable of everlasting condemnation!
Mar 3:30 Because they said, He has an unclean spirit!

Mar 3:31 {The Saints are a family}.
        There came then His brothers and His mother,
        and standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him.
Mar 3:32 And the multitude sat about Him, and they said to Him,
        Behold, Thy mother, and Thy brothers outside seek for Thee.
Mar 3:33 And He answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or My brothers?
Mar 3:34 And having looked around on them who sat about Him, and says,
        Behold, My mother and My brothers!
Mar 3:35 For whoever may do the will of God, this is My brother, and My sister, and mother.

Mar 4:1 {Parable of the Sower}.
        And He began again to teach by the sea:
        and there was gathered to Him a great multitude, so that He entered into the ship,
        and sat upon the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land.
Mar 4:2 And He taught them many [things] by parables,
        and He said to them in His doctrine,
Mar 4:3
        Listen; Behold, a sower went out to sow:
Mar 4:4 and it came to pass as he sowed,
        some fell by the way, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it.
Mar 4:5 And other fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up,
        because it not to have deepness of earth.
Mar 4:6 But when the sun having risen, it was scorched; and because it not to have root, it withered.
Mar 4:7 And other fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
Mar 4:8 And other fell on the good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up, and increased, and brought forth,
        in hundred-fold, and in sixty-fold, and in thirty-fold.
Mar 4:9
        And He said to them,
        He who having ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar 4:10 And when He came alone, they that were about Him, with the twelve, asked of Him the parable.
Mar 4:11 And He said to them, To you [it] has been given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God:
        but to them that are outside, all [these] things are done in parables:
Mar 4:12 that seeing they may see,
        and not perceive;
        and hearing they may hear,
        and not understand;
        lest they should convert,
        and the sins should be forgiven them. [Isa 6:9-10]
Mar 4:13
        And He says to them, Have ye not perceived this parable?
        And how then shall ye know all parables?
Mar 4:14 {Parable of the Sower explained}.
        The sower sows the word.
Mar 4:15 And these are they by the way, where the word is sown;
        but when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word,
        that was sown in their hearts.
Mar 4:16 And these are they likewise who being sown on stony ground;
        who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy;
Mar 4:17 and have no root in themselves, but are temporary:
        afterward, when tribulation or persecution having come for the word's sake,
        immediately they are offended.
Mar 4:18 And these are they who being sown among thorns; [these are] they who hearing the word,
Mar 4:19 and the cares of this Age{World}, and the deceitfulness of riches,
        and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word,
        and it becomes unfruitful.
Mar 4:20 And these are they who are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word,
        and receive [it], and bring forth fruit,
        in thirty-fold, and in sixty-fold, and in hundred-fold.

Mar 4:21 {Parable of the Lamp under the bushel 2}.
        And He said to them,
        Does the lamp come that it may be put under the bushel, or under a couch?
        And not that it may be set on the lampstand?
Mar 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which may not be manifested;
        neither has anything became secret,
        but that it should come abroad.
Mar 4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar 4:24 {He shall also judge you with the same measures 3}.
        And He said to them,
        Take heed what ye hear:
        in which measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you:
        and to you that hearing shall be added.
Mar 4:25 For whoever may have, to him shall be given;
        and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
Mar 4:26 {Parable of the growing seed}.
        And He said, So is the Kingdom of God,
        as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Mar 4:27 and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up,
        He has not known how.
Mar 4:28 For the ground brings forth fruit of itself; first the grass, then the ear, after that the full wheat in the ear.
Mar 4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately He puts in the sickle, because the Harvest has come. [Joe 3:13]
Mar 4:30 {Parable of the grain of mustard}.
        And He said, To what may we compare the Kingdom of God?
        Or with what comparison may we compare it?
Mar 4:31 [It is] like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown on the Earth,
        is less than all the seeds that are on the Earth.
Mar 4:32 But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches;
        so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shade.
Mar 4:33
        And with many such parables He spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear [it].
Mar 4:34 But without a parable He spoke not to them:
        but privately to His disciples He was explaining all.
Mar 4:35 {Calming the storm}.
        And on that day, becoming evening, He says to them,
        Let us pass over to the other side.
Mar 4:36 And they having sent away the multitude, they take Him even as He was in the ship.
        And there were also with Him other boats.
Mar 4:37 And there comes a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship,
        so that it is now being filled.
Mar 4:38 And He was upon the stern,
        sleeping on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say to Him,
        Master, care Thou not that we perish?
Mar 4:39 And He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea,
        Silent, be still: and the wind ceased, and it became a great calm.
Mar 4:40 And He said to them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?
Mar 4:41 And they feared [with] great fear, and said one to another,
        Then what manner [of man] is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
Mar 5:1 {Legion and the swine}.
        And they came over to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
Mar 5:2 And He having come out of the ship,
        immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Mar 5:3 who had [his] dwelling among the tombs;
        and no one could bind him, no, not with chains:
Mar 5:4 for he has been often bound with fetters and chains,
        and the chains have been plucked asunder by him,
        and the fetters broken in pieces:
        and no one was able to tame him.
Mar 5:5 And always, night and day, he was on the mountains, and in the tombs,
        he was crying, and cutting himself with stones.
Mar 5:6 But having seen Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him,
Mar 5:7 and cried with a great voice, and said,
        What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, [Thou] Son of God the Most High?
        I adjure Thee by God, that Thou should torment me not;
Mar 5:8 (for He said to him, Come out of the man, [Thou] the unclean spirit).
Mar 5:9 And He asked him, What [is] Thy name?
        And he answered, saying, my name [is] Legion: for we are many.
Mar 5:10 And he besought Him much that He would not send them away out of the country.
Mar 5:11 Now there was there near to the mountains a great herd of swine, being fed.
Mar 5:12 And all the demons besought Him, saying, Send us into the swine,
        that we may enter into them.
Mar 5:13 And immediately Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits go 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.
Mar 5:14 And they that feeding the swine fled, and told [it] in the city, and in the fields.
        And they went out to see what it is that having been done.
Mar 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the demon,
        and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded: and they were afraid.
Mar 5:16 And they that having seen [it] declared how it came that he was possessed with the demon,
        and [also] concerning the swine.
Mar 5:17 And they began to pray Him to depart out of their borders.
Mar 5:18 And He having entered into the ship,
        he who having been possessed with the demon prayed Him that he might be with Him.
Mar 5:19 But Jesus allow him not, but says to him,
        Go to Thy house, to Thy [friends], and tell them how great things the Lord has done for Thee,
        and had mercy on Thee.
Mar 5:20 And he departed, and began to preach in Decapolis how great things Jesus did for him.
        And all marvelled.

Mar 5:21 {Healing of the bleeding woman and daughter of Jairus}.
        And Jesus having passed over again in the ship,
        to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him: and He was near to the sea.
Mar 5:22 And behold, there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue,
        Jairus by name; and he having seen Him, he fell at His feet,
Mar 5:23 and besought Him much, saying,
        my little daughter holds the final [straw]:
        [I pray Thee], to having come and may lay Thy hands on her, that she may be made whole; and she shall live.
Mar 5:24 And He went with him; and many multitude followed Him, and thronged Him.
Mar 5:25 And a certain woman being with an issue of blood twelve years,
Mar 5:26 and she having suffered many [things] by many physicians,
         and she having spent all that she had, and was not relieved, but rather grew worse,
Mar 5:27 she having heard of Jesus, she having come in the multitude behind, and touched His garment.
Mar 5:28 For she said, Even if I may touch but His garment, I shall be whole.
Mar 5:29 And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up;
        and she knew in [her] body that she was healed of that infirmity.
Mar 5:30 And immediately, Jesus knowing in Himself that power having gone out of Him,
        He turned in the multitude, and said, Who touched My garments?
Mar 5:31 And His disciples said to Him,
        Thou see the multitude thronging Thee, and say Thou, Who touched Me?
Mar 5:32 And He looked around, to see her that having done this thing.
Mar 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what has happened to her,
        came and fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth.
Mar 5:34 But He said to her,
        Daughter, Thy faith has made Thee whole; go in peace, and be healed of Thy plague.
Mar 5:35
        While He was yet speaking,
        there came from [house of] the ruler of the synagogue,
        who said, Thy daughter died: why trouble Thou any further the Master?
Mar 5:36 But Jesus having heard immediately the word that being spoken, He says to the ruler of the synagogue,
        Fear not, only believe,
Mar 5:37 and He allow no one to follow Him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
Mar 5:38 And He comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue,
        and sees the tumult, and they weeping and wailing much.
Mar 5:39 And He having entered, He says to them,
        Why are ye tumulted, and weep? The child died not, but sleeps.
Mar 5:40 And they derided Him: but when He having put them all out,
        He takes the father and the mother of the child,
        and them that were with Him, and enters in where the child was reclining.
Mar 5:41 And taking hold of the child's hand,
        He says to her, talitha qumi! Which is, being translated, girl, I say to you, arise!
Mar 5:42 And immediately the girl arose,
        and walked; for she was [of the age] of twelve years.
        And they were amazed with a great amazement.
Mar 5:43 And He charged them strictly that no man should know it;
        and said that something should be given her to eat.

Mar 6:1 {Rejected as Prophet}.
        And He went out from thence, and came into His fatherland,
        and His disciples follow Him.
Mar 6:2 And a Sabbath having come, He began to teach in the synagogue:
        and many hearing Him were amazed, saying,
        Whence has this [Man] these [things]? And what the wisdom [is] this which is given to Him,
        that even such miracles are done by His hands?
Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon?
        And are not His sisters here with us? And they were offended at Him.
Mar 6:4 But Jesus said to them,
        A prophet is not without honour, except in his fatherland,
        and among the relatives of him, and in his own house.
Mar 6:5 And He could there do no miracle,
        except that He laid His hands upon a few sick [persons], and healed [them].
Mar 6:6 And He marvelled because of their unbelief.
        And He went around the villages teaching.

Mar 6:7 {Mission of the twelve apostles}.
        And He calls the twelve, and began to send them forth two by two;
        and gave them power over the unclean spirits;
Mar 6:8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for [their] journey,
        except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no bronze in [their] girdle{purse}:
Mar 6:9 but [be] shod with sandals; and not to put on two coats.
Mar 6:10 And He said to them, Wherever ye may enter into a house,
        there abide until ye depart from that place.
Mar 6:11 And whoever may not receive you, nor hear you,
        when ye depart thence shake off the dust under your feet,
        for a testimony against them.
        Amen I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment, than for that city!
Mar 6:12
        And they went out and preached that they should repent.
Mar 6:13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [them].

Mar 6:14 {Death of John the Baptist}.
        And king Herod heard (for His name became known): and he said, that John who baptizing was raised from the dead,
        and therefore miracles do show forth themselves in him.
Mar 6:15 Others said, that it is Elijah.
        And others said, that it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
Mar 6:16 But [when] Herod having heard, he said,
        It is John, whom I beheaded; he was raised from the dead.
Mar 6:17 For Herod himself having sent forth and laid hold upon John,
        and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias,
        (his brother Philip's wife: for he married her).
Mar 6:18 For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for Thee to have Thy brother's wife.
Mar 6:19 Therefore Herodias held a grudge against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
Mar 6:20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and Holy man,
        and preserved him: and he having heard him, he was doing many [things], and heard him gladly;
Mar 6:21 and a suitable day having come, that of Herod on his birth-day,
        made a supper to his greatest [men], the tribunes, and chief [men] of Galilee;
Mar 6:22 and <the daughter of Herodias> herself having come in, and danced, and pleased Herod,
        and them that sat with him, the king said to the girl,
        Ask of me whatever Thou will, and I shall give [it] Thee. [Mat 14:6]
Mar 6:23 And he swore to her, Whatever Thou may ask of me,
        I shall give [it] Thee, to the half of My kingdom.
Mar 6:24 And she having come out, and said to her mother, What shall I ask?
        And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
Mar 6:25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked,
        saying, I will that Thou should give me, immediately, in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.
Mar 6:26 And the king becoming very sorrowful [but] because of the oaths and dinner guests, he would not to reject her.
Mar 6:27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded to brought his head:
         and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
Mar 6:28 and brought his head in a dish,
         and gave it to the girl: and the girl gave it to her mother.
Mar 6:29 And his disciples having heard, they came and took up his carcass, and laid it in a Tomb.

Mar 6:30 {Miracle of the loaves}.
        And the apostles are came together to Jesus,
        and told Him all [things], both what they did, and what they taught.
Mar 6:31 And He said to 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.
Mar 6:32 And they departed into a desert place in the ship, privately.
Mar 6:33 And the multitude saw them departing, and many recognized Him,
        and ran on foot there out of all cities,
        and out went them, and came together to Him.
Mar 6:34 And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude,
        and has compassion on them,
        because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: [Num 27:17 Eze 34:5]
        and He began to teach them many [things].
Mar 6:35 And the hour already having become late, His disciples came to Him,
        and says, This is a desert place, and now the hour [is] far passed.
Mar 6:36 Send them away, that they may go around into the fields and the villages,
        and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing they may eat.
Mar 6:37 But He answering, said to them, Give ye them to eat.
        And they say to Him,
        May we go and buy two hundred denarii of bread, and give them to eat?
Mar 6:38 But He says to them, How many loaves have ye?
        Go and see. And they having known, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Mar 6:39 And He commanded them to make all sit down, group [by] group upon the green grass.
Mar 6:40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Mar 6:41 And He having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes,
        He having looked up to Heaven, He blessed, and broke the loaves,
        and gave [them] to His disciples, that they might to set before them; and the two fishes,
        He divided among them all.
Mar 6:42 And they all ate and were filled.
Mar 6:43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
Mar 6:44 And they that eating of the loaves, were about five thousand men.
Mar 6:45 {Walking on water}.
        And immediately He compelled His disciples to enter into the ship,
        and to go to the other side before to Beth-saida,
        until He should dismiss the multitude.
Mar 6:46 And after sending them away He departed to the mountain to pray.
Mar 6:47 And becoming evening, the ship was in the middle of the sea,
        and He alone on the land.
Mar 6:48 And He saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them:
        and about the fourth watch of the night He comes to them, walking upon the sea,
        and would have passed by them.
Mar 6:49 But they having seen Him walking upon the sea,
        they supposed it be an apparition, and cried out;
Mar 6:50 (for they all saw Him, and were troubled).
        And immediately He talked with them, and says to them,
        Be of good cheer: [it is] I AM; be not afraid.
Mar 6:51 And He went up to them into the ship; and the wind ceased:
        and they were greatly astonished in themselves beyond measure, and marvelled.
Mar 6:52 For they understood not [the miracle] of the loaves; for their heart was hardened.

Mar 6:53 {Healed by touching}.
        And they having passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret,
        and drew to the shore.
Mar 6:54 And they having come out of the ship immediately they having recognized Him,
Mar 6:55 and ran through all the region around, and began to carry about in beds those that are sick,
        where they heard He is.
Mar 6:56 And wherever He entered, into villages, or cities, or fields,
        they laid the sick in the markets, and besought Him that they might touch,
        even if it were the border of His garment: and as many as touched Him, were made whole.

Mar 7:1 {Tradition against the Commandments}.
        And the Pharisees are came together to Him, and some of the scribes, who having come from Jerusalem.
Mar 7:2 And they having seen some of His disciples eating bread with defiled: that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
Mar 7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash [their] hands ritually eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
Mar 7:4 And [coming] from the market, except they bathed, they not eat.
        And many other things there are, which they have received to hold,
        [as] the bathing of cups, and pots, and bronze vessels, and couches.
Mar 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes ask Him,
        Why walk not Thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
Mar 7:6 But He answering, said to them, Well has Isaiah prophesied concerning you, hypocrites, as it has been written,
        This people honours Me with [their] lips,
        but their heart is far from Me; [Isa 29:13]
Mar 7:7 but in vain they worship Me,
        teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men. [Isa 29:13]
Mar 7:8 For laying aside the Commandment of God,
        ye hold the tradition of men,
        [as] the bathing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
Mar 7:9 And He said to them, Full well ye reject the Commandment of God,
        that ye may keep your own tradition,
Mar 7:10 for Moses said,
        Honour Thy father and Thy mother; [Exo 20:12]
        And he who cursing father or mother, let him die the death. [Exo 21:17]
Mar 7:11 But ye say,
        If a man may say to his father or mother, [It is] Korban, which is, a gift,
        by whatever Thou might be me profited.
Mar 7:12 And ye allow him no more to do aught for his father or his mother;
Mar 7:13 ye nullifying the Word of GOD through your traditions,
        which ye delivered: and many such like things ye do.
Mar 7:14 {Parable of defiles the man}.
        And He having called all the multitude, He said to them,
        Listen to Me every one [of you], and understand.
Mar 7:15 There is nothing from outside a man, that entering into him, can defile him:
        but the things coming out of him, those are they that defile the man.
Mar 7:16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar 7:17 And when He entered into the house from the multitude,
        His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.
Mar 7:18 And He says to them, So also ye, are foolish?
        Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from without entering into the man, [it] cannot defile him;
Mar 7:19 because it enters not into his heart, but into the belly,
        and goes out into the toilet, purging all kinds of food.
Mar 7:20 And He said, that which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.
Mar 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Mar 7:22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, guile, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness;
Mar 7:23 all these evil things come from within, and defiles the man.

Mar 7:24 {Daughter healed by faith}.
        And He having risen from thence, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon,
        and entered into a house, and would have no one to know [it]: but He could not be hid.
Mar 7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him,
        and came and fell at His feet:
Mar 7:26 (the woman was a Greek{gentile}, a Syrophoenician by nation),
        and she besought Him that He would cast out the demon from her daughter.
Mar 7:27 But Jesus said to her,
        Let the children first be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of [the] children, and to cast [it] to the little dogs.
Mar 7:28 And she answered and says to Him,
        Yes, Lord: for even the little dogs under the table eat of the crumbs of the children.
Mar 7:29 And He said to her, For this saying,
        depart; the demon has gone out of Thy daughter.
Mar 7:30 And she having come to her house,
        she found the demon having gone out, and her daughter laid upon the couch.

Mar 7:31 {Opened ears and tongue}.
        And again, departing from the borders of Tyre and Sidon,
        He came to the sea of Galilee, through the middle of the borders of Decapolis.
Mar 7:32 And they bring to Him one that was deaf,
        and had an impediment in His speech;
        and they beseech Him that He might put the hand upon him.
Mar 7:33 And He took him aside from the multitude,
        and put his fingers into his ears, and He spit, and touched his tongue.
Mar 7:34 And having looked up into Heaven, He groaned and says to him,
        Ephphatha! Which is, Be opened!
Mar 7:35 And immediately his ears were opened,
        and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke rightly.
Mar 7:36 And He charged them that they should tell no man:
        but [the] more He charged them; [the] more abundantly they preached;
Mar 7:37 and were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all [things] well;
        He makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

Mar 8:1 {seven loaves and fishes}.
        In those days the multitude being very great, and they having nothing they may eat,
        Jesus called His disciples, and says to them,
Mar 8:2 I have compassion on the multitude,
        because they remain with Me three days, and have nothing they may eat:
Mar 8:3 and if I should send them away fasting to their own houses,
        they shall faint by the way: for some of them have come from afar.
Mar 8:4 And His disciples answered Him,
        Whence shall anyone be able to fill these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
Mar 8:5 And He asked them,
        How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Mar 8:6 And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground: and He having taken the seven loaves,
        and He having given thanks, He broke, and gave to His disciples,
        that they might to set before [them]; and they set [them] before the multitude.
Mar 8:7 And they had a few little fishes:
        and He having blessed, said to set them also before [them].
Mar 8:8 But they ate, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that were left, seven baskets.
Mar 8:9 And they that eating were about four thousand:
        and He dismissed them.
Mar 8:10 {Signs of the Times}.
        And immediately He entered into the ship with His disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Mar 8:11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to discuss with Him,
        seeking from Him a sign from Heaven, tempting Him.
Mar 8:12 And He sighed deeply in His Spirit, and says,
        Why does this generation seek for a sign?
        Amen I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation!
Mar 8:13 {The leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees}.
        And He left them, and entering into the ship again, departed to the other side.
Mar 8:14 And they had forgotten to take bread,
        neither had they in the ship with them except one loaf.
Mar 8:15 And He charged them saying,
        Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
Mar 8:16 And they reasoned with one another, saying,
        [It is] because we have no bread.
Mar 8:17 And Jesus having known, He says to them,
        Why reason ye, because ye have no bread?
        Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened?
Mar 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? And having ears, hear ye not? And do ye not remember?
Mar 8:19 When I divided the five loaves among five thousand,
        how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to Him, twelve.
Mar 8:20 And when the seven among four thousand,
        how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
Mar 8:21 And He said to them,
        How is it that ye do not understand?

Mar 8:22 {Blind man healed in Beth-saida}.
        And He comes to Beth-saida;
        and they bring a blind man to Him, and besought Him that He might to touch him.
Mar 8:23 And He took the blind man by the hand,
        and led him out of the town; and He having spit on his eyes,
        and put His hands upon him, He asked him if he sees anyone.
Mar 8:24 And he having looked up, and said, I see the men as trees walking.
Mar 8:25 After that, He put [His] hands again upon his eyes,
        and made Him look up: and He was restored, and saw them all clearly.
Mar 8:26 And He sent him away to his house, saying,
        Neither Thou should enter the town, nor should tell [it] to anyone in the town.
Mar 8:27 {The Messiah is revealed by Peter}.
        And Jesus went out, and His disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi:
        and by the way He asked His disciples, saying to them,
        Who do men say that I be?
Mar 8:28 And they answered,
        John the Baptist: but some [say], Elijah;
        and others, One of the prophets,
Mar 8:29 and He says to them,
        But who say ye that I be?
        But Peter answering, says to Him, Thou are the Christ{Messiah}.
Mar 8:30 And He charged them that they should tell no man of Him.
Mar 8:31 {Secret until the Resurrection}.
        And He began to teach them, that the Son of Man must suffer many [things],
        and to be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes,
        and to be killed, and after three days to rise up.
Mar 8:32 And He spoke the Word openly.
        And Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him.
Mar 8:33 But He, having turned about, and seeing His disciples,
        He rebuked Peter, saying,
        Get Thee behind Me, Satan:
        for Thou mind not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
Mar 8:34 {Take up his cross: tribulation}.
         And He having called in the multitude with His disciples, He said to them,
        Whoever will to come after Me, let him deny himself,
        and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Mar 8:35 For whoever may wish to save his soul, shall lose it;
         but whoever may wish to lose his soul for My sake and the Gospel's, the same shall save it.
Mar 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole World, and lose his own soul:
Mar 8:37 or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mar 8:38 For whoever may have been ashamed of Me, and of My words, in this adulterous and sinful generation;
        and the Son of Man shall be ashamed of him,
         when He should come in the glory of His Father with the Holy Angels.
Mar 9:1 And He said to them,
        Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here who may not taste death, until they have seen the Kingdom of God having come with power!
Mar 9:2 {Transfiguration of Jesus}.
        And after six days, Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John,
        and leads them upon a high mountain apart, alone. And He was transfigured before them.
Mar 9:3 And His garment became shining, exceedingly white as snow; so as no fuller on the Earth can whiten [them].
Mar 9:4 And there appeared to them Elijah, with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
Mar 9:5 And Peter answering, says to Jesus,
        Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three Tabernacles;
        one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Mar 9:6 For he had not known what he might say: for they were greatly terrified.
Mar 9:7 And there came a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud,
        saying, This is My beloved Son: hear Him.
Mar 9:8 And suddenly, they having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.
Mar 9:9 Then they descending from the mountain,
        He charged them that they should declare no man what things they saw, except when the Son of Man should rise from the dead.
Mar 9:10 And they kept that saying with themselves, discussing what is the to rise up from the dead.
Mar 9:11
        And they asked Him, saying,
        Why say the scribes that Elijah must first to come?
Mar 9:12 But He answering, said them,
        Elijah truly coming first, and restores all [things]; and how it has been written concerning the Son of Man,
        that He must suffer many [things], and be despised.
Mar 9:13 But I say to you, that:
        Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it has been written concerning Him!

Mar 9:14 {The dumb spirit}.
        And He having come to the disciples,
        He saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes discussing with them.
Mar 9:15 And immediately all the multitude, when they seeing Him,
        were greatly amazed, and running to Him, saluted Him.
Mar 9:16 And He asked the scribes, What discuss ye with them?
Mar 9:17 And one of the multitude answering, said,
        Master, I have brought to Thee my son, who has a dumb spirit;
Mar 9:18 and wherever it takes him, it tears him; and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and is withered away;
        and I spoke to Thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they could not.
Mar 9:19 But He answering him, says, O faithless generation,
        until when shall I be with you, until when shall I bear you? Bring him to Me.
Mar 9:20 And they brought him to Him:
        and He having seen him, immediately the spirit tore him;
        and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.
Mar 9:21 And He asked his father, How long is it since this has happened to him?
        But he said, From a childhood.
Mar 9:22 And often it has cast him into the fire, and into the waters, that it might destroy him:
        but if Thou can do anything, having compassion on us, and help us.
Mar 9:23 But Jesus said to him,
        If Thou can believe, all [things are] possible to him that believing.
Mar 9:24 And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears,
        Lord, I believe; help Thou [against] my unbelief.
Mar 9:25 But Jesus, having seen that the multitude came running together,
        He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it,
        [Thou] dumb and deaf spirit, I charge Thee, come out of him, and should enter no more into him.
Mar 9:26 And [the spirit] cried, and rent him severely, and came out of him:
        and he became as dead, so that many said that he died.
Mar 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
Mar 9:28 And He entered into the house, His disciples asked Him privately,
        Why could not we cast it out?
Mar 9:29 And He said to them, This kind can come forth by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.

Mar 9:30 {Prediction of Resurrection}.
        And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee;
        and He would not that anyone should know [it].
Mar 9:31 For He taught His disciples, and He said to them, The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men,
        and they shall kill Him; and after that He is killed, He shall rise the third day.
Mar 9:32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

Mar 9:33 {Be humble as a child}.
        And He came to Capernaum:
        and being in the house, He asked them,
        What was it that ye reasoned among yourselves by the way?
Mar 9:34 But they were silent: for by the way they reasoned with one another, who [is] the greatest.
Mar 9:35 And He sat down, and called the twelve, and says to them,
        If anyone will to be first shall be last of all, and servant of all.
Mar 9:36
        And He having taken a child, and set it in the middle of them:
        and He having taken it in His arms, He said to them,
Mar 9:37 whoever may receive one of such children in My name, receives Me:
        and whoever may receive Me, receives not Me, but Him who sent Me.
Mar 9:38
        And John answered Him, saying,
        Master, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name,
        and he follows not us;
        and we forbad him, because he follows not us.
Mar 9:39 But Jesus said,
        Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in My name,
        and shall be able quickly to speak evil of Me.
Mar 9:40 For he who is not against us, is for us.
Mar 9:41 For whoever may give you a cup of water to drink in My name,
        because ye are of Christ{Messiah},
        Amen I say to you, He should not lose his reward!
Mar 9:42 {Evade sin}.
        And whoever may cause to offend of these little ones that believing into Me,
        it is better for him that a millstone is hanged about his neck,
         and he has been cast into the sea.
Mar 9:43 And if Thy hand causes Thee to offend, cut it off:
        it is better for Thee to enter [into] life maimed,
        than having two hands to go into the Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire.
Mar 9:44 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. [Isa 66:24]
Mar 9:45 And if Thy foot causes Thee to offend, cut it off:
        it is better for Thee to enter into life lame,
        than having two feet to be cast into the Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire.
Mar 9:46 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. [Isa 66:24]
Mar 9:47 And if Thy eye causes Thee to offend, 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 the Gehenna fire.
Mar 9:48 Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. [Isa 66:24]

Mar 9:49 {Salt 2}.
        For every one shall with fire be salted,
        and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Mar 9:50 Salt [is] good: but if the salt may lose its saltiness,
        with what shall ye season it? Have salt in yourselves,
        and be at peace one with another.
Mar 10:1 {Multitudes followed Him}.
        And He having risen from thence, and comes into the borders of Judea,
        by the side beyond the Jordan:
        and the multitudes resort to Him again;
        and as He had accustomed, He taught them again.
Mar 10:2 {Follow your marriage contract 2}.
        And the Pharisees having come to Him, and asked Him, If it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife?
        Tempting Him.
Mar 10:3 But He answering, said to them, What did Moses command you?
Mar 10:4 And they said, Moses allowed to write a writing of divorcement, and to put [her] away. [Deu 24:1]
Mar 10:5 And Jesus answering, said to them,
         For the hardness of your heart, he wrote you this Commandment.
Mar 10:6 But from [the] beginning of the creation, GOD made them male and female. [Gen 1:27]
Mar 10:7 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; [Gen 2:24]
Mar 10:8 and they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh. [Gen 2:24]
Mar 10:9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
Mar 10:10 And in the house His disciples asked Him again of the same [matter].
Mar 10:11 And He says to them,
        Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, commits adultery against her.
Mar 10:12 And if a woman may put away her husband, and may be married to another, she commits adultery.

Mar 10:13 {Children of the Kingdom}.
        And they brought to Him children, that He might touch them;
        but the disciples rebuked those that brought [them].
Mar 10:14 But Jesus, having seen [it], He was much displeased, and said to them,
        Allow the children to come to Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God.
Mar 10:15 Amen I say to you, Whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God, as a child, may not enter into it!
Mar 10:16 And He took them up in His arms, put [His] hands upon them, and blessed them.

Mar 10:17 {The rich man}.
        And as He going forth into [the] way, there came one running,
        and kneeled to Him, and asked Him,
        Good Master, what should I do that I may inherit everlasting life?
Mar 10:18 But Jesus said to him, Why call Thou Me good?
          None [is] good, except One, [that is] God.
Mar 10:19 Thou have known the Commandments,
          Thou should not commit adultery, Thou should not murder, Thou should not steal,
          Thou should not bear false witness, (Thou should not Defraud), Honour Thy father and Thy mother. [Exo 20:3-17 Deu 5:7-21]
Mar 10:20 But he answering, said to Him,
        Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
Mar 10:21 But Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him,
        One thing lacks by Thee: go, sell whatever Thou have, and give to the poor,
        and Thou shall have treasure in Heaven;
        and come here, follow Me, having taken up the cross.
Mar 10:22 And He was sad at that saying,
        and went away grieved: for he was holding many possessions.
Mar 10:23 And Jesus looked around, and says to His disciples,
        How hardly shall they that having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
Mar 10:24 And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus answering again, says to them,
        Children, how hard is it for them that having trusted in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!
Mar 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God!
Mar 10:26 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, And who is able to be saved?
Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them, says,
        With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all [things] are possible.
Mar 10:28 And Peter began to say to Him, Behold, we have left all, and have followed Thee.
Mar 10:29 But Jesus answering, said,
        Amen I say to you, There is no one that has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields,
        for My sake and the Gospel's,
Mar 10:30 but he shall receive a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields,
        with persecutions; and in the Age{World} to come, everlasting life!
Mar 10:31 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last [shall be] first.

Mar 10:32 {Third prediction of the Resurrection}.
        And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem;
        and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid.
        And He took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen to Him,
Mar 10:33 [saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes;
        and they shall condemn Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the gentiles;
Mar 10:34 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 up.

Mar 10:35 {James and John}.
        And James and John the sons of Zebedee come to Him, saying,
        Master, we desire that whatever we may ask Thou would do for us.
Mar 10:36 But He said to them, What desire ye that I should do for you?
Mar 10:37 And they said to Him, Grant to us that we may sit,
        one on Thy right [hand], and one on Thy left [hand], in Thy glory.
Mar 10:38 But Jesus said to them,
        Ye have not known what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?
        And be baptized with the baptism that I baptized [with]?
Mar 10:39 And they said to Him, We can. But Jesus said to them,
        Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of:
        and with the baptism that I baptized with shall ye be baptized;
Mar 10:40 but to sit upon My right [hand], and on My left, is not Mine to give;
        but to them for whom it has been prepared.
Mar 10:41 And the ten having heard, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
Mar 10:42
        But Jesus called them, and says to them,
        Ye have known that they who are accounted to rule over the gentiles dominate over them,
        and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
Mar 10:43 But so it shall not be among you: but whoever may wish to become great among you, shall be your servant:
Mar 10:44 and whoever of you may wish to be chief, shall be servant of all.
Mar 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve,
        and to give His soul a ransom for many.

Mar 10:46 {Son of David, have mercy}.
        And they came to Jericho:
        and as He went out of Jericho with His disciples, and a great multitude,
        the blind Bar-Timaeus, (the son of Timaeus), sat by the highway begging.
Mar 10:47 And he having heard that He is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say,
        Jesus, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me!
Mar 10:48 And many charged him that He should be silent: but he cried the more a great deal,
        [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me!
Mar 10:49 And standing still, Jesus said to him to be called: and they call the blind man, saying to him,
        Be of good comfort, rise; He calls Thee.
Mar 10:50 And he, casting away his garment, having risen, and came to Jesus.
Mar 10:51 And answering, Jesus says to him,
        What will Thou that I should do to Thee? The blind man said to Him,
        Rabboni{my Master} that I may receive my sight.
Mar 10:52 But Jesus said to him,
        Go, Thy faith has made Thee whole. And immediately he received his sight,
        and followed Jesus in the way.

Mar 11:1 {Triumphal entry into Jerusalem}.
        And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage, and Beth-any, at the Mount of Olives,
        He sends forth two of His disciples,
Mar 11:2 and says to them,
        Go into the village opposed to you: and immediately as ye entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied,
        on which never man has sat; loose him, and bring him.
Mar 11:3 And if anyone may say to you,
        Why do ye this? Say ye that the Lord has need of him; and immediately he shall send him here.
Mar 11:4 And they went, and found the colt tied by the door outside, by the crossroad; and they loose him.
Mar 11:5 And some of them that stood there, said to them,
        What do ye, loosing the colt?
Mar 11:6 And they said to them even as Jesus commanded; and they let them go.
Mar 11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus,
        and cast their garments on him; and He sat upon him.
Mar 11:8 And many spread their garments in the way:
        and others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed [them] in the way.
Mar 11:9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying,
        Hosanna <Blessed [is] He who coming in the name of the LORD>! [Psa 118:26]
Mar 11:10 Blessed [be] the Kingdom of our father David, who coming in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest! [Psa 118:26]
Mar 11:11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the Temple.
        {Cursing the fig-tree 1}.
        And He having looked around on all [things], it being now [the] hour of evening,
        He went out, with the twelve to Beth-any.
Mar 11:12 And on the next morrow, they having come from Beth-any,
        He hungered,
Mar 11:13 and seeing a fig-tree afar off, having leaves,
        He came, if perhaps He shall find anything on it: and He having come to it,
        He found nothing except leaves: for the time of figs had not yet come.
Mar 11:14 And Jesus answering, said to it,
         Let no one eat fruit of Thee any more forever.
         And His disciples heard [it].
Mar 11:15 {Cleansing of the Temple}.
        And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the Temple,
        and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the Temple,
        and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
Mar 11:16 and would not allow that anyone should carry a vessel through the Temple.
Mar 11:17 And He taught, saying to them, Has it not been written,
        My House shall be called a House of Prayer by all nations? But ye have made it a den of robbers. [Isa 56:7 Jer 7:11]
Mar 11:18 And the scribes and chief priests heard [it], and sought how they shall destroy Him: for they feared Him,
        because all the multitude were astonished at His doctrine.
Mar 11:19 And when evening came, He went out of the city.
Mar 11:20 {Cursing the fig-tree 2}.
        And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.
Mar 11:21 And Peter having reminded, says to Him,
        Rabbi, behold, the fig-tree which Thou cursed is withered.
Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering, says to them, Have faith of God.
Mar 11:23 For Amen I say to you, that whoever may say to this mountain,
        be Thou removed, and be Thou cast into the sea;
        and should not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things which He says;
        it shall be; he shall have whatever he may say!
Mar 11:24 Therefore I say to you,
        Whatever things ye ask when ye praying,
        believe that ye receive [them], and it shall be to you.
Mar 11:25 And when ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against anyone:
        that also your Father who [is] in the Heavens may forgive you your trespasses.
Mar 11:26 But if ye do not forgive,
        neither shall your Father who [is] in the Heavens forgive your trespasses.

Mar 11:27 {Authority of Jesus questioned}.
        And they come again to Jerusalem: and as He is walking in the Temple,
        there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
Mar 11:28 and say to Him,
        By what authority do Thou these [things]?
       And who gave Thee this authority that Thou should do these [things]?
Mar 11:29 But Jesus answering, He said to them, I also shall ask you one thing; and answer Me,
        and I shall tell you by what authority I do these [things].
Mar 11:30 The baptism of John, was [it] from Heaven, or from men? Answer Me.
Mar 11:31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying,
        If we should say, From Heaven; He shall say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Mar 11:32 But if we should say, from men; they feared the people: for all held John that he was indeed a prophet.
Mar 11:33 And they answering, says to Jesus, We have not known.
        And Jesus answering, says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these [things].

Mar 12:1 {Parable of the wicked husbandmen}.
        And He began to speak to them by parables. A [certain] Man planted a vineyard,
        and set a hedge about [it], and dug a wine-vat, and built a Tower,
        and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
Mar 12:2 And at the season He sent to the husbandmen a servant,
        that He might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mar 12:3 And they having taken him, and beat him and sent him away empty.
Mar 12:4 And again, He sent to them another servant:
        and at him they having cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Mar 12:5 And again He sent another;
        and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
Mar 12:6 Having yet therefore one Son,
        His beloved, He sent Him also last to them, saying, They shall be reverenced My Son.
Mar 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves,
        This is the heir; come, let us kill Him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
Mar 12:8 And they having taken Him, and killed Him, and cast Him out of the vineyard.
Mar 12:9 What then shall the Lord of the vineyard do?
        He shall come and destroy the husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others.
Mar 12:10 Have ye not read this Scripture;
        [The] stone which the builders rejected,
        for this has become [the] head of [the] corner. [Psa 118:22]
Mar 12:11 This came from the LORD,
          and it is marvellous in our eyes? [Psa 118:23]
Mar 12:12 And they sought to lay hold on Him, and feared the multitude;
        for they knew that He spoke the parable against them: and they left Him, and departed.

Mar 12:13 {Tribute to Caesar}.
        And they sent to Him some of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians,
        to catch Him in [His] words.
Mar 12:14 And they having come, they say to Him,
        Master, we have known that Thou are true,
        and care for no one: for Thou regard not the face of men,
        but teach the way of God in truth:
        Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Mar 12:15 Shall we give, or shall we give not?
        But He, knowing their hypocrisy,
        said to them, Why tempt ye Me?
        Bring Me a denarius, that I may see [it].
Mar 12:16 And they brought [it]: and He says to them,
        Whose [is] this image and superscription?
        And they said to Him, Caesar's.
Mar 12:17 And Jesus answering, said to them,
        Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's,
        and to God the things that are God's.
        And they marvelled at Him.

Mar 12:18 {Question about the resurrection}.
        And to Him come the Sadducees, who say there be no resurrection;
        and they asked Him, saying,
Mar 12:19 Master, Moses wrote to us, If anyone's brother may die, and may leave [his] wife,
        and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise seed to his brother. [Deu 25:5]
Mar 12:20 Now there were seven brothers:
        and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
Mar 12:21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he seed:
        and the third likewise.
Mar 12:22 And the seven took her, and left no seed:
        last of all the woman also died.
Mar 12:23 In the resurrection therefore, when they may rise, whose wife shall she be of them?
        For the seven had her for a wife.
Mar 12:24 And Jesus answering, said to them,
        Are ye [in] this not gone astray, [for] ye not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
Mar 12:25 For when they may rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage;
        but are as the Angels who are in Heavens.
Mar 12:26 And concerning the dead that they are raised; have ye not read in the Book of Moses,
        as at the bush God spoke to him, saying,
        I [AM] the God of Abraham,
        and the God of Isaac,
        and the God of Jacob? [Exo 3:6]
Mar 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living:
        ye therefore are greatly gone astray.
Mar 12:28 {The Great Commandment}.
        And one of the scribes having come, and having heard them discussing,
        knowing that He had answered them well, and asked Him,
        Which is the first Commandment of all?
Mar 12:29 But Jesus answered him,
        The first of all the Commandments [is], Hear, Israel, the LORD our God [is] One LORD. [Deu 6:4]
Mar 12:30 And Thou shall love the LORD Thy God with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul, and with all Thy strength.
        This [is] the first Commandment. [Deu 6:5]
Mar 12:31 And the second [is] like it, Thou shall love Thy neighbour as thyself.
        There is no other Commandment greater than these. [Lev 19:18]
Mar 12:32 And the scribe said to Him,
        Well, Master, Thou have said the truth: for there is One GOD; and there is no other but He. [Deu 4:35]
Mar 12:33 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 the neighbour as himself, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices. [Lev 19:18]
Mar 12:34 And Jesus, having seen him that he answered discreetly, He said to him,
        Thou are not far from the Kingdom of God. And no one dared to ask Him any more [questions].

Mar 12:35 {Son of David?}.
        And Jesus answering, saying, while He taught in the Temple,
        How say the scribes that the Christ{Messiah} is the Son of David?
Mar 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit,
        The LORD said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right [hand],
        until I make Thy enemies Thy stool of Thy feet. [Psa 110:1]
Mar 12:37 David therefore himself calls Him Lord, and whence is He [then] his Son? [Psa 110:1]
        And the great multitude heard Him gladly.

Mar 12:38 {Woes of the Pharisees}.
        And He said to them in His doctrine,
        Beware of the scribes, who desiring to go in long robes, and [like] greetings in the markets.
Mar 12:39 And the chief seat in the synagogues, and the best seat at suppers.
Mar 12:40 Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence making long prayers: these shall receive more abundant judgment.

Mar 12:41 {The poor widow}.
        And Jesus sat opposed to the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast bronze into the treasury:
        and many that were rich cast in much.
Mar 12:42 And there came one poor widow, and she threw in two lepta, which is a quadrans.
Mar 12:43 And He called His disciples, and says to them,
        Amen I say to you, that this poor widow has cast in more, than all they who have cast into the treasury!
Mar 12:44 For all [they] cast in of their abounding: but she of her want cast in all that she had, all her living.

Mar 13:1 {End of the Temple, Great Tribulation and the second coming}.
        And as He was going out of the Temple,
        one of His disciples says to Him, Master, behold what manner of stones, and what manner of buildings!
Mar 13:2 And Jesus answering, said to him, See Thou these great buildings?
        There may not be left a stone upon a stone, that may not be thrown down.
Mar 13:3 And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, opposed to the Temple,
        Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked Him privately,
Mar 13:4 Tell us, when shall these [things] be? And what should be the sign when all these [things] are be finished?
Mar 13:5 But Jesus answering them,
        began to say, Take heed lest anyone may deceived you:
Mar 13:6 for many shall come in My name,
         saying, I AM; and shall deceive many. [Mat 24:5]
Mar 13:7 But when ye may hear of wars, and reports of wars, be ye not troubled:
         for [such things] must necessarily be; but [it is] not yet the end.
Mar 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
        and there shall be earthquakes in [diverse] places,
        and there shall be famines, and troubles: these [are the] beginnings of pangs.
Mar 13:9 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 governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them.
Mar 13:10 And <the Gospel must first be preached among all nations>.
Mar 13:11 But when they may lead [you], and deliver you up,
        be not anxious beforehand what ye should speak, neither do ye premeditate:
        but whatever may be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For ye are not that speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
Mar 13:12 But a brother shall deliver up a brother to death,
         and a father [his] child: and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and shall put them to death.
Mar 13:13 And ye shall be being hated by all for My name's sake.
        But he who having endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Mar 13:14 But when ye may see the <Abomination of Desolation>, was spoken by <Daniel> the prophet,
        standing where it ought not, <(let him who reading understand)>, [Dan 9:27 Dan 11:31 Dan 12:11 Mat 24:15]
        then let them that are in Judea <flee> to the mountains:
Mar 13:15 but he who [is] on the roof, let him not go down into the house,
        neither enter [it], to take anything out of his house:
Mar 13:16 and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment.
Mar 13:17 But woe to them that are pregnant, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
Mar 13:18 But pray ye that your flight may not be not in a winter.
Mar 13:19 For [in] those days shall be <Tribulation>,
        such as has not been from [the] beginning of creation which GOD created until now, nor ever should be.
Mar 13:20 And except the Lord has shortened those days, no flesh would be saved:
        but for the elects' sake, whom He has chosen, He has shortened the days.
Mar 13:21 And then, if anyone may say to you,
        Behold here [is] the Christ{Messiah}; or Behold there; ye should not believe.
Mar 13:22 For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets, and shall give signs and wonders;
        to seduce, if possible even the elects.
Mar 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have said you before all [things].
Mar 13:24 But in those days, after that <Tribulation>,
        the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Mar 13:25 and the stars of Heaven shall be falling, and the powers that are in Heavens shall be shaken.
Mar 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. [Dan 7:13]
Mar 13:27 And then He shall send His Angels, and shall assemble His elects from the four winds,
        from the ends of the Earth to the uttermost part of Heaven.
Mar 13:28 {Parable of the budding fig-tree}.
        Now learn a parable of the fig-tree;
        When her branch is yet tender and puts forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
Mar 13:29 so also ye, when ye may see these [things] come to pass, know that it is near: at the doors.
Mar 13:30 Amen I say to you, that this generation should not pass away, until all these [things] should come to pass!
Mar 13:31
        The Heaven and the Earth shall pass away, but My words should not pass away.
Mar 13:32 But of that day and the hour has known [by] no one,
        not the Angels which are in Heaven, neither the Son, except the Father.
Mar 13:33 {Parable of the faithful servant}.
         Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye have not known when the time is.
Mar 13:34 As a Man taking a long journey, who left His house,
        and giving authority to His servants, and to every man His work;
        and commanded the porter to watch.
Mar 13:35 Watch therefore; for ye have not known when the Lord of the house comes,
        at evening, or at midnight, or at a cock-crowing, or in the morning:
Mar 13:36 lest coming suddenly, He should find you sleeping.
Mar 13:37 And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch!

Mar 14:1 {Plot to kill}.
        After two days was the Passover and the [Festival of] Unleavened [Bread]:
        and the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might take Him by guile, and they might kill [Him].
Mar 14:2 But they said, Not on the Festival, lest there shall be tumult of the people.
Mar 14:3 {Ointment of Jesus}.
        And being in Beth-any, in the house of Simon the leper,
        as He sat at table, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment,
        (of spikenard, very precious); and she broke the box, and poured [it] on His head.
Mar 14:4 And there were some that were indignant within themselves,
        and said, Why was this waste of the ointment has been made?
Mar 14:5 For it could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii,
        and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
Mar 14:6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She has wrought a good work on Me.
Mar 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always,
        and when ye may wish ye do them well: but Me ye have not always.
Mar 14:8 She did what she could: she came beforehand to anoint My body for the burial.
Mar 14:9 Amen I say to you, Wherever this Gospel may be preached in the whole World,
         also that she has done shall be spoken, for a memorial of her!
Mar 14:10 {Blood money for Judas}.
        And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, that he might betray Him to them.
Mar 14:11 But [when] they having heard, they rejoiced, and promised to give him money.
        And he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.

Mar 14:12 {Last Supper}.
        And the first day of Unleavened [Bread], when they killed the Passover, [Exo 12:5-6]
        His disciples say to Him, Where will Thou that we go and prepare, that Thou may eat the Passover?
Mar 14:13 And He sends two of His disciples, and says to them,
        Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
Mar 14:14 And wherever he may go in, say ye to the housemaster, The Master says,
        Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?
Mar 14:15 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished [and] prepared: there prepare for us.
Mar 14:16 And His disciples went, and came into the city,
        and found as He said to them: and they prepared the Passover.
Mar 14:17 And becoming evening, He comes with the twelve.
Mar 14:18 And as they reclining, and were eating, Jesus said,
        Amen I say to you, One of you who eats with Me, shall betray Me!
Mar 14:19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, [Is] it I?
        And another [said], [Is] it I?
Mar 14:20 But He answering, said to them,
        [It is] one of the twelve that dips with Me in the dish.
Mar 14:21 Indeed the Son of Man goes, as it has been written concerning Him:
        but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!
        Good were it if he was never born for that man!
Mar 14:22
        And as they were eating, Jesus having taken bread,
        and having blessed, and broke [it], and gave to them,
        and said, Take, eat; this is My body.
Mar 14:23 And He having taken the cup, and when He having given thanks,
        He gave [it] to them: and they all drank of it.
Mar 14:24 And He said to them,
        This is My blood of the New Covenant, which being shed for many.
Mar 14:25 Amen I say to you, I should drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God!

Mar 14:26 {Gethsemane}.
          And they having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Mar 14:27 And Jesus says to them, All ye shall be offended at Me this night: for it has been written,
        I shall smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. [Zec 13:7]
Mar 14:28 But after that I be risen, I shall go before you into Galilee.
Mar 14:29 But Peter said to Him, And if all shall be offended, but [yet shall] not I.
Mar 14:30 And Jesus says to him,
        Amen I say to Thee, that today, in this night,
        before a cock crow twice, Thou shall deny Me thrice!
Mar 14:31 But He spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with Thee,
        I shall not deny Thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
Mar 14:32
        And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane{Oil press}:
        and He says to His disciples, Sit ye here, while I should pray.
Mar 14:33 And He takes with Him Peter, and James, and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and to be distressed;
Mar 14:34 and says to them, my soul is very sorrowful to death: abide ye here, and watch.
Mar 14:35 And He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed:
        that if it is possible, the hour might pass from Him.
Mar 14:36 And He said, Abba, Father, all [things are] possible to Thee; take away this cup from Me: but not what I will, but what Thou will.
Mar 14:37 And He comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Simon, sleep Thou? Could Thou not for one hour to watch?
Mar 14:38 Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
Mar 14:39 And again He went away, and prayed, and having said the same speech.
Mar 14:40 {Arrest of Jesus}.
        And He having returned, He found them sleeping again (for their eyes were heavy):
        neither they had known what they might answer Him.
Mar 14:41 And He comes the third time, and says to them,
        Sleep on now, and take [your] rest: it is enough, [the] hour has come;
        behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mar 14:42
        Rise, let us go; behold, he who betraying Me has drawn near.
Mar 14:43 And immediately while He was yet speaking, comes Judas, being one of the twelve,
        and with him a great multitude with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders.
Mar 14:44 And he who betraying Him, had given them a sign,
        saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, it is He; take Him, and lead [Him] away safely.
Mar 14:45 And he having come, immediately, having come near Him,
        and says, Rabbi, Rabbi; and kissed Him.
Mar 14:46 And they laid their hands on Him, and took Him.
Mar 14:47 And one of them that stood by drew the sword, and smote the servant of the High Priest, and cut off his ear.
Mar 14:48 And Jesus answering, said to them,
        Have ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and [with] sticks to take Me?
Mar 14:49 I was daily with you in the Temple, teaching, and ye took Me not: but the Scriptures should be fulfilled.
Mar 14:50 And they all forsook Him, and fled.
Mar 14:51 And one certain young man was following Him, having a linen cloth cast about [his] naked [body];
        and the young men laid hold on him.
Mar 14:52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
Mar 14:53 {By Caiaphas}.
        And they led Jesus away to the High Priest:
        and there come together with him all the chief priests, and the elders and the scribes.
Mar 14:54 And Peter followed Him afar off, even into the palace of the High Priest:
        and he was sitting with the servants, and warmed himself at the light.
Mar 14:55 And the chief priests, and all the council sought for testimony against Jesus,
        to put Him to death; and found none.
Mar 14:56 For many bore false testimony against Him, and their testimonies were not alike.
Mar 14:57 And some having risen up, were bearing false testimony against Him, saying,
Mar 14:58 We heard Him saying, I shall destroy this Sanctuary that is made with hands,
        and by three days I shall build another made without hands.
Mar 14:59 And neither so was their testimony alike.
Mar 14:60 And the High Priest rising up in the middle, and asked Jesus,
        saying, Answer Thou nothing? What is it which these testify against Thee?
Mar 14:61 But He was silent, and answered nothing.
        Again the High Priest asked Him, and says to Him,
        Are Thou the Christ{Messiah}, the Son of the Blessed?
Mar 14:62 But Jesus said, I AM: and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting upon [the] right [hand] of the power;
        and coming on the clouds of Heaven. [Dan 7:13]
Mar 14:63 Then the High Priest having rent his clothes, and says, What need we any further witnesses?
Mar 14:64 Ye heard the blasphemy; how seems it to you? And they all condemned Him to be liable of death.
Mar 14:65 And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and to say to Him,
        Prophesy: and the servants struck Him with the palms.
Mar 14:66 {Peter's denial}.
        And as Peter being below in the palace, there comes one of the maid-servants of the High Priest:
Mar 14:67 and she having seen Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and says,
        And Thou also were with Jesus the Nazarene.
Mar 14:68 But he denied, saying,
         I have not known, neither do I understand what Thou say. And he went out into the porch; and a cock crowed.
Mar 14:69 And the maid-servant having seen him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them.
Mar 14:70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter,
         Truly Thou are [one] of them: for Thou are also a Galilean, and Thy speech agrees.
Mar 14:71 But he began to curse and to swear, [saying], I have not known this [Man] of whom ye speak.
Mar 14:72 And the second time a cock crowed.
        And Peter was reminded the saying that Jesus said to him,
        Before a cock crow twice, Thou shall deny Me thrice!
        And he having thought on it, he wept.

Mar 15:1 {By Pilate}.
        And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation,
        with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, and bound Jesus,
        and carried Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.
Mar 15:2 And Pilate asked Him,
         Are Thou the King of the Jews?
         But He answering, said to him, Thou say.
Mar 15:3 And the chief priests accused Him of many [things]: but He answered nothing. [Isa 53:7]
Mar 15:4 But Pilate asked Him again, saying,
         Answer Thou nothing? Behold how many [things] they testify against Thee.
Mar 15:5 But Jesus yet answered nothing: so that it to marvel Pilate.
Mar 15:6 {Barabbas and Crucifixion of Jesus}.
         Now at [that] Festival he released to them one prisoner, whom they desired.
Mar 15:7 And there was [one] who being called Barabbas,
        [who lay] bound with the insurgents, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
Mar 15:8 And the multitude crying aloud, began to desire him [to do] as he had always done to them.
Mar 15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I should release to you the King of the Jews?
Mar 15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him for envy.
Mar 15:11 But the chief priests stirred up the multitude that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
Mar 15:12 But Pilate answering, said again to them,
        What then will ye that I should do [to Him] whom ye call the King of the Jews?
Mar 15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify Him!
Mar 15:14 But Pilate said to them, For what evil has He done?
        And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify Him!
Mar 15:15 But Pilate, willing to content the multitude, released Barabbas to them,
        and he having scourged Jesus, delivered [Him] that He might be crucified.
Mar 15:16
        And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, which is [the] Praetorium{judgment-hall};
        and they call together the whole band.
Mar 15:17 And they clothe Him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it on Him,
Mar 15:18 and began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews!
Mar 15:19 And they struck Him on the head with a reed, and spit upon Him,
        and bowing [their] knees, worshiped Him.
Mar 15:20 And when they mocked Him, they stripped the purple from Him,
        and put His own garments on Him, and lead Him out, that they might crucify Him.
Mar 15:21 And they constrain one Simon, a Cyrenian,
        who passing by, coming from a field,
        the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might bear His cross.
Mar 15:22 And they bring Him to the place Golgotha, which is being translated, The place of a skull.
Mar 15:23 And they gave Him to drink, wine mingled with myrrh: but He received [it] not.
Mar 15:24 And they having crucified Him, they divided His garments,
        casting a lot upon them, what every man should take. [Psa 22:18]
Mar 15:25 And it was the third hour{circa 9 AM}, and they crucified Him.
Mar 15:26 And the superscription of His accusation was written over, the King of the Jews.
Mar 15:27 And with Him they crucify two robbers,
        the one on His right, and one on His left.
Mar 15:28 And the Scripture was fulfilled, which saying,
        And He was counted with transgressors. [Isa 53:12]
Mar 15:29 And they that passed by blasphemed, on Him, shaking their heads,
        and saying, Aha, that destroy the Sanctuary, and build [Him] in three days,
Mar 15:30 save Thyself, and come down from the cross.
Mar 15:31 And likewise also the chief priests mocking, said among one another with the scribes,
        He saved others, He cannot save Himself.
Mar 15:32 Let the Christ{Messiah} the King of Israel now come down from the cross,
        that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with Him, reviled Him.
Mar 15:33
        And the sixth hour{noon} having come, there came darkness over all the Earth, until the ninth hour{circa 3 PM}.
Mar 15:34 And at the ninth hour{circa 3 PM} Jesus cried with a great voice,
        saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama, sabachthani? Which is, being translated,
        My God, my God, why have Thou forsaken Me? [Psa 22:1]
Mar 15:35 And some of them that stood by, when they having heard [it], said,
          Behold, He calls Elijah.
Mar 15:36 And one having run and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave Him to drink,
        saying, Let alone; let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.
Mar 15:37 But Jesus cried with a great voice, and expired.
Mar 15:38 And the veil of the Sanctuary was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.
Mar 15:39 And the centurion who stood opposed to Him, having seen that He so cried out, and expired,
        He said, Truly this man was [the] Son of God!
Mar 15:40 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;
Mar 15:41 (who also, when He was in Galilee, followed Him, and served Him);
        and many other [women] who came with Him to Jerusalem.
Mar 15:42 {Buried in the Tomb}.
        And now, becoming evening, (because it was [the] preparation, which is, [the day] before [the] {annual} Sabbath).
Mar 15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, who himself was also waiting for the Kingdom of God,
        came, and boldly went in to Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
Mar 15:44 But Pilate marvelled if He has already died: and calling the centurion,
        he asked him if [it was] long ago He died.
Mar 15:45 And he having known from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
Mar 15:46 And he bought fine linen, and took Him down, and wrapped [Him] in the linen,
        and laid Him in a Tomb which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the Tomb.
Mar 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary [the mother] of Joses, beheld where He is laid.
Mar 16:1 {Resurrection of Jesus}.
        And the Sabbath having past, Mary Magdalene,
        and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
Mar 16:2 And very early [on] the First of the Weeks, they came to the Tomb at the rising of the sun: [Lev 23:15-16]
Mar 16:3 and they said among themselves,
        Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the Tomb?
Mar 16:4 And they having looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away for it was very great.
Mar 16:5 And entering into the Tomb,
        they saw a young man sitting upon the right [side], clothed in a long white robe; and they were frightened.
Mar 16:6 And he says to them,
        Be not frightened: ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified: He was raised;
        He is not here: behold the place where they laid Him:
Mar 16:7 but go, tell His disciples and Peter, that He goes before you into Galilee:
        there shall ye see Him, as He said to you.
Mar 16:8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the Tomb; for they trembled, and were amazed:
        and they told no one, not a thing; for they were afraid.
Mar 16:9
        Now [after] having risen, early [on the] first of the week He appeared first to Mary Magdalene,
        of whom He had cast out seven demons.
Mar 16:10 She went and told them that having been with Him, as they mourned and weeping.
Mar 16:11 And they, having heard that He was alive, and was seen by her, believed not.
Mar 16:12 And after that, He appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking and going into a field.
Mar 16:13 And they went and told [it] to the others: neither believed they them.
Mar 16:14 Afterward He appeared to the eleven, as they reclining [at table], and reproached their unbelief,
        and hardness of heart, because they believed not them who having seen Him after He having been raised.
Mar 16:15 {The Great Commission}.
        And He said to them, Having gone into all the World, and preach the Gospel to all the creation.
Mar 16:16 <He who having believed and having been baptized shall be saved;
       but he who having disbelieved shall be condemned>.
Mar 16:17 And these signs shall attain them that believing:
        In My name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak in new tongues;
Mar 16:18 they shall take up serpents; even if they may drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
        they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall be well.
Mar 16:19 {Ascension of Jesus}.
        So then after the Lord spoke to them,
        He was taken up into Heaven, and sat upon [the] right [hand] of God. [Psa 110:1]
Mar 16:20 And they went forth, preached everywhere,
         the Lord working together [with them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen!

Luk 1:1 [Scroll 25 Gospel of Luke].
        {Prologue}.
        Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which have been accomplished among us,
Luk 1:2 even as they delivered them to us, who from [the] beginning were eye-witnesses, and ministers of the Word;
Luk 1:3 determined also, having traced out diligently all [things] from [the] beginning,
        to write to Thee in order, most excellent Theophilus.
Luk 1:4 That Thou may know the certainty about those things which Thou have been instructed.

Luk 1:5 {Birth of John}.
        It came to pass in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of [the] course of Abijah: [1Ch 24:10]
        and his wife [was] of the daughters of Aaron, and her name [was] Elisabeth.
Luk 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the Commandments and ordinances of the LORD blameless.
Luk 1:7 And no child was [born] to them, because Elisabeth was barren, and they both were far advanced in their days.
Luk 1:8
        And it came to pass, while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, [1Ch 24:10]
Luk 1:9 according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the Sanctuary of the LORD.
Luk 1:10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside, at the hour of incense.
Luk 1:11 And there appeared to him an Angel of the LORD, having stood on the right [side] of the Altar of incense.
Luk 1:12 And Zacharias having seen him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Luk 1:13 But the Angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: because Thy prayer was heard;
        and Thy wife Elisabeth shall bear Thee a son, and Thou shall call his name John{JaH has grace}.
Luk 1:14 And he shall be a joy to Thee, and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Luk 1:15 For he shall be great before the LORD, and should drink neither wine nor shekar{strong drink};
        and he shall be filled with [the] Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
Luk 1:16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the LORD their God.
Luk 1:17 And he shall go forth before Him in [the] spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, [Mal 4:6]
        and the disobedient to the prudence of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Luk 1:18 And Zacharias said to the Angel,
        By what shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife far advanced in their days.
Luk 1:19 And the Angel answering, said to him,
         I am Gabriel, who have been standing in the presence of God; and am sent to speak to Thee, and to preach Thee these glad tidings.
Luk 1:20 And behold, Thou shall be silent, and not able to speak, until the day,
        that these [things] shall come to pass, because Thou believe not My words which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Luk 1:21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the Sanctuary.
Luk 1:22 And he having come out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he has seen a vision in the Sanctuary;
        for he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
Luk 1:23
        And it came to pass, that as soon as the days of his service were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Luk 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and secluded herself five months, saying,
Luk 1:25 Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

Luk 1:26 {Nativity of Jesus}.
        And in the sixth month {of her pregnancy}, the Angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luk 1:27 to a virgin espoused to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the House of David;
        and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
Luk 1:28 And the Angel came to her, and said,
        Hail, [Thou] having been favoured, the LORD [is] with Thee. Blessed [are] Thou among women.
Luk 1:29 And she having seen him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of greeting this might be.
Luk 1:30 And the Angel said to her,
        Fear not, Mary: for Thou have found grace with God.
Luk 1:31 And behold, Thou shall conceive in Thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and Thou shall call His name Jesus. [Mat 1:21]
Luk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High;
        and the LORD GOD shall give to Him the throne of His father David.
Luk 1:33 And He shall reign over the House of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there shall be no end.
Luk 1:34 But Mary said to the Angel, How shall this be, since I know{intercourse} not a man?
Luk 1:35 And the Angel answering, said to her,
        [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon Thee, and the power of [the] Most High shall overshadow Thee:
        therefore also [that] the Holy; being begotten of Thee shall be called Son of God.
Luk 1:36 And behold, Thy relative Elisabeth, she has also conceived a son in her old age;
        and this is the sixth month with her who being called barren:
Luk 1:37 for nothing shall be impossible by every saying of God.
Luk 1:38 And Mary said, Behold the female servant of the LORD,
        let be it to me according to Thy saying. And the Angel departed from her.
Luk 1:39 {Visitation of Mary}.
        And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Luk 1:40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Luk 1:41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the greeting of Mary,
        the infant leaped in her womb: and Elisabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit.
Luk 1:42 And she spoke with a great voice, and said,
        Blessed [are] Thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of Thy womb!
Luk 1:43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luk 1:44 For behold, as there came the voice of Thy greeting came in my ears,
        the infant leaped in gladness in my womb.
Luk 1:45 And blessed [is] she who believed that there shall be a performance of those things spoken to her from the Lord.
Luk 1:46 {Magnificat}.
        And Mary said, My soul magnifies the LORD,
Luk 1:47 and my spirit rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Luk 1:48 For He regarded the low estate of His female servant:
        for behold, from now on all generations shall call me blessed.
Luk 1:49 For He who [is] mighty did to me great things, and Holy [is] His name.
Luk 1:50 And His mercy [is] on them that fear Him, from generation to generation.
Luk 1:51 He showed strength with His arm;
        He scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Luk 1:52 He put down the powerful from [their] thrones, and exalted the humbles.
Luk 1:53 He filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He sent away empty.
Luk 1:54 He sustained His servant Israel, in remembrance of [His] mercy;
Luk 1:55 as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever.
Luk 1:56
        And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Luk 1:57 Now the time of Elisabeth was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she begot a son.
Luk 1:58 And her neighbours and her relatives heard that the Lord was magnifying His mercy with her; and they rejoiced with her.

Luk 1:59 {The name John}.
        And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child;
        and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.
Luk 1:60 And his mother answering, said, Not [so]; but he shall be called John{JaH has grace}.
Luk 1:61 And they said to her, There is none of Thy kindred that is called by this name.
Luk 1:62 And they made signs to his father, how he desire him be called.
Luk 1:63 And he having asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, his name is John{JaH has grace}.
        And they are marvelled all.
Luk 1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spoke, and blessing God.
Luk 1:65 And fear came on all that dwelt around them;
        and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill-country of Judea.
Luk 1:66 And all having heard, set in their hearts, saying,
        Then what manner of child shall this be? And the hand of the LORD was with him.
Luk 1:67 {Benedictus}.
        (And his father Zacharias was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying),
Luk 1:68
        Blessed [be] the LORD, God of Israel;
        for He has visited and redeemed His people!
Luk 1:69 And raised up a Horn of Salvation for us,
        in the House of His servant David.
Luk 1:70 As He spoke by the mouth of His Holy prophets,
        who have been since the Age{World} began.
Luk 1:71 Salvation from our enemies,
        and from the hand of all that hating us.
Luk 1:72 To perform the mercy with our fathers,
        and to remember His Holy Covenant.
Luk 1:73 The oath which He swore to our father Abraham.
Luk 1:74 That He would grant to us,
        that we out of the hand of our enemies being delivered,
        might serve Him without fear.
Luk 1:75 In Holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.
Luk 1:76 And Thou, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High,
        for Thou shall go before the Face of the LORD to prepare His ways. [Mal 3:1]
Luk 1:77 To give knowledge of Salvation to His people, in the forgiveness of their sins.
Luk 1:78 Through the bowels of mercy of our God;
        by which the dayspring from on high has visited us.
Luk 1:79 To give Light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shades of death,
        to guide our feet into the way of peace. [Isa 9:2]
Luk 1:80
        And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.

Luk 2:1 {To Beth-lehem}.
        And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,
        to register all the World;
Luk 2:2 (this registration happened first [when] Cyrenius being governor of Syria).
Luk 2:3 And all went to be registered, every one into his own city.
Luk 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David,
        which is called Beth-lehem; (because he be of the House and family of David).

        because there was no place for them in the guest-chamber.
Luk 2:8 {Annunciation to the shepherds}.
        And there were in the same region shepherds abiding in the fields,
        keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luk 2:9 And behold, an Angel of the LORD came upon them,
        and the glory of the LORD shone around them; and they were in great fear.
Luk 2:10 And the Angel said to them,
        Fear not: for behold, I preach the Gospel to you of great joy which shall be to all the peoples.
Luk 2:11 For to you was born today, a Saviour, who is Lord Christ{Messiah} in [the] city of David.
Luk 2:12 And this [is] the sign to you; Ye shall find the infant wrapped, lying in the manger.
Luk 2:13 And suddenly there came the Angel with a multitude of the Heavenly Army praising God, and saying,
Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good-will among men!
Luk 2:15
        And it came to pass, when the Angels departed from them into Heaven,
        and the men (the shepherds) saying one to another, Let us now go even to Beth-lehem,
        and let us see this saying which has coming to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
Luk 2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger.
Luk 2:17 And they having seen, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this Child.
Luk 2:18 And all who having heard, marvelled concerning the [things] spoken to them by the shepherds.
Luk 2:19 But Mary kept all these sayings, and pondered [them] in her heart.

        for all the things that they heard and seen, as it was told to them.

Luk 2:22 And when they fulfilled the days of <her purification> according to the Law of Moses, [Lev 12:2-5]
        they brought Him to Jerusalem, to present [Him] to the LORD;
Luk 2:23 (as it has been written in the Law of the LORD,
        Every male that opens [first] the womb shall be called Holy to the LORD). [Exo 13:12]
Luk 2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which has been spoken in the Law of the LORD,
        A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. [Lev 12:8]
Luk 2:25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon;
        and this man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel:
        and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.
Luk 2:26 And it was divinely revealed to him by the Holy Spirit,
        that he should not see death before he saw the LORD's Christ{Messiah}.
Luk 2:27 And he came by the Spirit into the Temple;
        and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, that they might do for Him after the custom of the Law.
Luk 2:28
        {Canticle of Simeon}.
        (And he took It into his arms, and blessed God, and said),
Luk 2:29 Now dismiss Thy servant in peace,
        Master, according to Thy saying.
Luk 2:30 For my eyes have seen Thy <Salvation>,
Luk 2:31 which Thou have prepared before the face of all the peoples;
Luk 2:32 a Light for revelation to the gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.

        Behold, this [Child] is set for the fall and resurrection of many in Israel; and for a sign which being spoken against;
Luk 2:35 (and a sword shall pierce through Thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

Luk 2:36 {Anna the prophetess}.
        And there was Anna, (a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher):
        She was advanced in many days, and she having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
Luk 2:37 and she [was] a widow of about eighty four years,
        who departed not from the Temple, but served with fastings and prayers night and day;
Luk 2:38 and she coming in that hour, gave thanks to the Lord,
        and spoke of Him to all those that looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
Luk 2:39 And when they finished all [things] according to the Law of the LORD,
        they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

Luk 2:43 And they having fulfilled the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem;
        and Joseph and His mother did not know.
Luk 2:44 But they supposing Him to be in the company, went a day's journey;
        and they sought Him among the relatives and the acquaintances.
Luk 2:45 And they not having found Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.
Luk 2:46
        And it came to pass, that after three days they found Him in the Temple,
        sitting in the middle of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them [questions].
Luk 2:47 And all that hearing Him were amazed at His understanding and answers.
Luk 2:48 And they having seen Him, they were astonished: and His mother said to Him,
        Child, why have Thou thus dealt with us? Behold, Thy father and I have sought Thee sorrowing.
Luk 2:49 And He said to them, How is it that ye sought Me?
        Had ye not known that I must be about the [things of] My Father?
Luk 2:50 And they understood not the saying which He spoke to them.
Luk 2:51 And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth,
         and was being subjected to them.
         But His mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Luk 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in grace with God and men.

Luk 3:1 {The testimony of John the Baptist}.
        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 being tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis,
        and Lysanias the being tetrarch of Abilene,

        the saying of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Luk 3:3 And he came into all the region around the Jordan,
        preaching the baptism of repentance, for forgiveness of sins;
Luk 3:4
        as it has been written in the Book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
        saying, A voice crying in the wilderness,
        Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
        make His paths straight. [Isa 40:3]
Luk 3:5 Every valley shall be filled,
        and every mountain and hill shall be brought low;
        and the crooked shall be made straight,
        and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth. [Isa 40:4]
Luk 3:6 And all flesh shall see the Salvation of GOD. [Isa 40:5]
Luk 3:7
        Then said he to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him,
        offspring of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Luk 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance:
        and begin not to say within yourselves,
        We have Abraham [as] father:
        for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham!
Luk 3:9 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees:
        therefore every tree [which] bringing not forth good fruit, is cut down, and is cast into the fire.
Luk 3:10
        And the multitudes asked him, saying,
        What then shall we do?
Luk 3:11 But he answering, says to them,
        He who having two coats, let him impart to him that having none; and he who having foods, let him do likewise.
Luk 3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him,
        Master, what shall we do?
Luk 3:13 But he said to them,
        Exact no more than that which is appointed to you.
Luk 3:14 And the soldiers also asked him, saying,
        And what shall we do?
        And he said to them,
        Ye should intimidate no one, neither should accuse [anyone] falsely, and be content with your wages.
Luk 3:15
        And as the people are in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John,
        whether or not he might be the Christ{Messiah};
Luk 3:16 John answered, saying to [them] all, I indeed baptize in water;
        but One comes mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the thong of His shoes.
        He shall baptize you in [the] Holy Spirit and fire:
Luk 3:17 whose fan [is] in His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His threshing-floor,
        and shall gather the wheat into His barn;
        but the chaff He shall burn with unquenchable fire.
Luk 3:18 And then many other things in his exhortation he preached the Gospel to the people.

Luk 3:19 {John cast into prison}.
        But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias,
        (his brother Philip's wife), and for all the evil things which Herod did,
Luk 3:20 added yet this above all, that he shut up John in the prison.

Luk 3:21 {Baptism of Jesus}.
        And it came to pass, when all the people were being baptized,
        [that] Jesus also having been baptized,
        and praying, the Heaven was opened,
Luk 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him,
        and a voice came from Heaven,
        which saying, Thou are My beloved Son; in Thee I delighted.

        And Jesus being full of [the] Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan,
        and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Luk 4:2 being forty days tempted by the devil.
        And He ate nothing in those days; and they having been ended, He afterward hungered.
Luk 4:3 And the devil said to Him,
        If Thou are the Son of God, say to this stone that it may become bread.
Luk 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying,
        It has been written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every saying of God. [Deu 8:3]
Luk 4:5 And the devil bringing Him upon a high mountain,
        showed to Him all the kingdoms of the World in a moment of time.
Luk 4:6 And the devil said to Him,
        All this power I shall give Thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me,
        and to whomsoever I will, I give it.
Luk 4:7 If Thou therefore may worship before me, all shall be Thy,
Luk 4:8 and Jesus answering, said to him,
        Get Thee behind Me, Satan: for it has been written,
        Thou shall worship the LORD Thy God, and Him only shall Thou serve. [Deu 6:13]
Luk 4:9 And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on the pinnacle of the Temple,
        and said to Him, If Thou are the Son of God, cast Thyself down from hence.
Luk 4:10 For it has been written, He shall give His Angels charge concerning Thee: [Psa 91:11]
Luk 4:11 and on [their] hands they shall uphold Thee, lest Thou may dash Thy foot against a stone. [Psa 91:12]
Luk 4:12 And Jesus answering, said to him,
        It is said, Thou shall not tempt the LORD Thy God. [Deu 6:16]
Luk 4:13 And he having ended all the temptation, the devil departed from Him until [another] time.

Luk 4:16 {Rejected as Prophet}.
        And He came to Nazareth,
        where He was brought up:
        and entered as His custom on the day of the Sabbaths into the synagogue,
        and stood up to read.
Luk 4:17 And there was delivered to Him the Book of Isaiah the prophet.
        And He having unrolled the Book, He found the place where it has been written,
Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the LORD [is] upon Me,
        because He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor;
        He has sent Me to heal the broken of heart,
        to preach deliverance to the captives,
        and recovering of sight to the blind,
        to set in deliverance them that are bruised; [Isa 61:1]
Luk 4:19 to preach the acceptable Year of the LORD. [Isa 61:2]
Luk 4:20 And He having folded the Book, and given back to the servant, and sat down.
        And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were staring on Him.
Luk 4:21 And He began to say to them, Today has this Scripture been fulfilled in your ears.
Luk 4:22 And all bore Him testimony, and marvelled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth.
        And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
Luk 4:23 And He said to them,
        Ye shall surely say to Me this parable, Physician, heal thyself:
        whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Thy fatherland.
Luk 4:24 And He said,
        Amen I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his fatherland!
Luk 4:25 But I tell you in truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah,
        when the Heaven was shut three years and six months when great famine came throughout all the land:
Luk 4:26 but to none of them was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath{Sarepta}, [a city] of Sidon, to a woman [that was] a widow. [1Ki 17:9]
Luk 4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian. [2Ki 5:1-14]
Luk 4:28 And all they in the synagogue, when they hearing these [things], were filled with wrath,
Luk 4:29 and rose up, and thrust Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the mountain,
        on which their city had been built, that they might cast Him down headlong.
Luk 4:30 But He passing through the middle of them, went away.

Luk 4:31 {A demon in the synagogue}.
        And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee,
        and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.
Luk 4:32 And they were astonished at His doctrine:
         for His word was with authority.
Luk 4:33 And in the synagogue was a man who having a spirit of an unclean demon;
        and he cried out with a great voice,
Luk 4:34 saying, Ah; what have we to do with Thee, [Thou] Jesus [the] Nazarene?
        Are Thou come to destroy us?
        I have known Thee who Thou are, the Holy [One] of God.
Luk 4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying,
        Be silenced, and come out of him.
        And the demon having thrown him in the middle, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
Luk 4:36 And amazement came upon all, and spoke among one another, saying,
        What word [is] this! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.
Luk 4:37 And the fame of Him went out into every place of the region around.

Luk 4:38 {Healing of Peter's wife's mother}.
        And He having risen out of the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon.
        And the mother-in-law of Simon was being taken with a violent fever; and they besought Him for her.
Luk 4:39 And He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and served them.
Luk 4:40 {Exorcising at sunset}.
        But at setting of the sun, all they that had any sick with diverse diseases, brought them to Him:

Luk 4:41 And demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying,
        Thou are the Christ{Messiah} the Son of God!
        And He rebuking [them], allow them not to speak: for they had known that He be the Christ{Messiah}.
Luk 4:42 Then becoming day, He departed, and went into a desert place;
        and the multitudes sought Him, and came to Him,
        and stayed Him, that He should not depart from them.
Luk 4:43 But He said to them,
        I must preach the Gospel of Kingdom of God to other cities also, for therefore I have been sent.
Luk 4:44 And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

Luk 5:1 {Miraculous catch of fish}.
        And it came to pass, that as the multitude pressed upon Him to hear the Word of GOD,
        He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
Luk 5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake:
        but the fishers having gone out of them, washed [their] nets.
Luk 5:3 And He entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's,
        and asked him that he would thrust out a little from the land.
        And He sat down, and taught the multitudes out of the ship.
Luk 5:4 Now when He had left speaking, He said to Simon,
        Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.
Luk 5:5 And Simon answering, said to Him,
        Master, we have toiled all the night, and we took nothing; but at Thy saying I shall let down the net.
Luk 5:6 And they having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.
Luk 5:7 And they beckoned to [their] partners, who 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.
Luk 5:8 When Simon Peter having seen [it], He fell down,
        at the knees of Jesus, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, Lord.
Luk 5:9 For astonishment seized him, and all that were with Him, at the catch of the fishes which they took.
Luk 5:10 And likewise [was] also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.
        And Jesus said to Simon,
        Fear not: from now on Thou shall be catching men.
Luk 5:11 And they having brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.

Luk 5:12 {Healing of the leper}.
        And it came to pass, when He be in one of the cities, and behold, a man full of leprosy:
        who seeing Jesus, fell on [his] face, and besought Him,
        saying, Lord, if Thou will, Thou can make me clean.
Luk 5:13 And He stretch out the hand, and touched him,
        saying, I will: Be Thou clean.
        And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Luk 5:14 And He commanded him to tell no man;
         but go, and show thyself to the priest,
         and offer for Thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded for a testimony to them. [Lev 13:49 Lev 14:2-4]
Luk 5:15
        But so much more the report about Him went abroad:
        and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
Luk 5:16 And He was withdrawing Himself in the wilderness, and prayed.

Luk 5:17 {Healing of the paralytic}.
        And it came to pass on one of the days, as He was teaching,
        that there were Pharisees and Law-teachers sitting by,
        who having come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem:
        and the power of the Lord was [present] to heal them.
Luk 5:18 And behold, men brought in a couch a man who was paralyzed:
        and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to lay him before Him.
Luk 5:19 And they not having found by what [way] they might bring Him in, because of the multitude,
        they went upon the roof, and let him down through the tiling with the couch, into the middle before Jesus.
Luk 5:20 And He having seen their faith, He said to him,
         Man, Thy sins have been forgiven Thee.
Luk 5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying,
        Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins except God alone?
Luk 5:22 And Jesus knowing their thoughts, [He] answering, said to them,
        What reason ye in your hearts?
Luk 5:23 Which is easier, to say,
        Thy sins have been forgiven Thee;
        or to say, Rise and walk?
Luk 5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of Man has authority upon the Earth to forgive sins,
        He said to the paralytic,
        I say to Thee, Arise! And having taken up Thy couch, and go into Thy house.
Luk 5:25 And immediately he having risen before them, and having taken up that on which he lay,
        and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
Luk 5:26 And amazement gripped all, and they glorified God,
        and were filled with fear,
        saying, We saw strange things today.
Luk 5:27 {Levi is called}.
        And after these He went forth, and saw a publican named Levi,
        sitting at the receipt of custom: and He said to him, Follow Me.
Luk 5:28 And he left all, having risen, and followed Him.
Luk 5:29 And Levi made Him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great multitude of publicans,
        and of others who were sitting down with them.
Luk 5:30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against His disciples,
        saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
Luk 5:31 And Jesus answering, said to them,
        They that are in health, have no need of a physician; but they that are sick. [Mar 2:17]
Luk 5:32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. [Mar 2:17]

Luk 5:33 {Fasting}.
        And they said to Him,
        Why do the disciples of John fast often,
        and make prayers, and also [the disciples] of the Pharisees; but Thy eat and drink?
Luk 5:34 But He said to them,
        Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the Bridegroom is with them?
Luk 5:35 But the days shall come, when the Bridegroom may be taken from them,
        and then they shall fast in those days.
Luk 5:36 {Parable of new wine into old wineskins}.
        And He spoke also a parable to them:
        no one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old:
        otherwise, then both the new makes a rent,
        and the piece that was [taken] out of the new,
        agrees not with the old.
Luk 5:37 And no one puts new wine into old bottles:
        otherwise the new wine shall burst the bottles, and shall be poured out, and the bottles shall be perished:
Luk 5:38 but new wine must be put into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Luk 5:39 No one also having drank old [wine], immediately desire new:
        for He says, The old is better.

Luk 6:1 {Plucking the ears on the Sabbaths}.
        And it came to pass on the second Sabbath after the first, [Lev 23:15]
        that He went through grain-fields; and His disciples plucked the ears [of grain],
        and ate, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.
Luk 6:2 And some of the Pharisees said to them,
        Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the <Sabbaths>?
Luk 6:3 And Jesus answering them, said,
        Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when he hungered,
        and they who being with him;
Luk 6:4 how he went into the House of God, and took and ate the show-bread, [1Sa 21:6]
        and gave also to them that were with him,
        which it is not lawful to eat, except only for the priests?
Luk 6:5 And He said to them, [For] the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
Luk 6:6 {Healing hand on the Sabbaths}.
        And it came to pass also on another Sabbath,
        that he entered into the synagogue,
        and taught: and there was a man and his right hand was withered.
Luk 6:7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched Him,
        [to see] if He shall heal on the Sabbath;
        that they might find an accusation against Him.
Luk 6:8 But He had seen their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand,
        Rise, and stand forth in the middle. And he having risen, and stood forth.
Luk 6:9 Then said Jesus to them, I shall ask you one thing;
        Is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil?
        To save a soul, or to destroy [it]?
Luk 6:10 And He having looked around on them all, He said to the man,
        Stretch out Thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
Luk 6:11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

Luk 6:12 {The twelve apostles}.
        And it came to pass in those days, that He went out to the mountain to pray,
        and was spending all night in the prayer of God.
Luk 6:13 And when it became day, He called His disciples: and of them He chose twelve,
        whom also He named apostles;
Luk 6:14 Simon (whom He also named Peter) and Andrew (his brother),
        James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
Luk 6:15 Matthew and Thomas,
        James the [son] of Alpheus, and Simon being called Zealot.
Luk 6:16 Judas [the brother] of James, and Judas Iscariot, (who also became a traitor).

Luk 6:17 {Sermon on the Plain (plateau)}.
        And He having went down with them, and stood in the plateau; and the multitude of His disciples,
        and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem,
        and from the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him,
        and to be healed of their diseases;
Luk 6:18 and they that being afflicted by unclean spirits: and they were healed.
Luk 6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him; for there went power out from Him, and healed [them] all.
Luk 6:20 And He having lifted up His eyes on His disciples, and said,
        {Beatitudes 2}.
         Blessed [are] the poor: for yours is the Kingdom of God!
Luk 6:21 Blessed [are] they who being hungry now: for ye shall be filled!
         Blessed [are] they who weeping now: for ye shall laugh!
Luk 6:22 Blessed are ye when men shall hate you,
        and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach [you],
        and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!
Luk 6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy:
        for behold, your reward [is] great in Heaven:
        for so did their fathers to the prophets!
Luk 6:24 But Woe to you that are rich: for ye receive your consolation!
Luk 6:25 Woe to you that are full: for ye shall hunger!
         Woe to you that laugh now: for ye shall mourn and weep!
Luk 6:26 Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you: for so did their fathers to the false prophets!

Luk 6:27 {Love your enemies: prove that you are better}.
        But I say to you who hearing,
        Love your enemies, do good to them who hating you,
Luk 6:28 bless them that curse you, and pray for them who insulting you!
Luk 6:29 {Turning the other cheek: non-resistance}.
        To him that smiting Thee on the cheek, offer the other also;
        and from him that taking away Thy cloak, Thou should not forbid Thy coat also.
Luk 6:30 {Only be friendly to your friends is not enough}.
        Give to every [man] that asking of Thee;
        and of him that taking away Thy [goods], ask [them] not back.
Luk 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Luk 6:32 And if ye love them who loving you, what thanks is [for] you?
        For sinners also loving those that love them.
Luk 6:33 And if ye do good to them who doing good to you, what thanks is [for] you?
        For sinners also do even the same.
Luk 6:34 And if ye lend [to them] from whom ye hope to receive, what thanks is [for] you?
        For sinners also lend to sinners, that they may receive the same in return.
Luk 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good,
        and lend, hoping for nothing back; and your reward shall be great,
        and ye shall be the sons of the Most High:
        for He is kind to the unthankful and [to] the evil.
Luk 6:36 Become ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.

Luk 6:37 {He shall also judge you with the same measures}.
        And judge not, and ye may not be judged:
        condemn not, and ye may not be condemned:
        forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Luk 6:38 give, and it shall be given to you;
        good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over,
        shall they give into your bosom.
        For the same measure [in] which ye measure, shall be measured back to you.

Luk 6:39 {Parable of the blind lead the blind 1}.
        And He spoke a parable to them;
        Can the blind lead the blind? Shall not both fall into the ditch?
Luk 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfected, shall be as his master.

Luk 6:41 {Splinter in the eye}.
        And why behold Thou the splinter that is in Thy brother's eye,
        but consider not the beam that is in Thy own eye?
Luk 6:42 Or how can Thou say to Thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the splinter that is in Thy eye,
        when Thou thyself beholding not [the] beam that is in Thy own eye?
        [Thou] hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of Thy own eye,
        and then shall Thou see clearly to cast out the splinter that is in Thy brother's eye.

Luk 6:43 {The fruit of the tree 3}.
        For a good tree is bringing not forth corrupt fruit;
        neither does a corrupt tree bringing forth good fruit.
Luk 6:44 For every tree is known by its own fruit:
        for from thorns men do not gather figs,
        nor from a bramble bush do they pick grapes.
Luk 6:45 {Treasure of the heart 1}.
        The good man out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth that which is good;
        and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, brings forth that which is evil:
        for from the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Luk 6:46 {Parable of the wise and the foolish builders}.
        And why call ye Me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Luk 6:47 Whoever coming to Me, and hearing My sayings, and doing them,
        I shall show you to whom he is like.
Luk 6:48 He is like a man who building a house,
        and dug deep, and laid the foundation upon the Rock.
        Now becoming a flood, the river did burst upon that house,
        and could not shake it: for it had been founded upon the Rock.
Luk 6:49 But he who having heard, and not doing, is like a man that having built a house on the ground, without a foundation,
        which the river did burst upon, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.
        {End Sermon}.

Luk 7:1 {Centurion ask to heal his servant}.
        Now when He completed all His sayings in the audience of the people,
        He entered into Capernaum.
Luk 7:2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him is sick, [and] was about to die.
Luk 7:3 And he having heard about Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews,
        beseeching Him that He would having come and might heal His servant.
Luk 7:4 And they having come to Jesus, they besought Him earnestly, saying, that He is worthy for whom He shall offer this:
Luk 7:5 for he loves our nation, and he has built us a synagogue.
Luk 7:6 But Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house,
        the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him,
        Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that Thou should enter under my roof;
Luk 7:7 therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to Thee; but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
Luk 7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having appointed under myself soldiers,
        and I say to this [one], Go, and he goes;
        and to another, come, and he comes;
        and to my servant, Do this, and he does.
Luk 7:9 But [when] Jesus having heard these [things], He marvelled at him,
        and having turned to the multitude that followed Him,
        [and] said: I say to you, Not even in Israel found I so great faith!
Luk 7:10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the sick servant in health.
Luk 7:11 {Resurrection of the son in Nain}.
        And it came to pass the next [day], that He went into a city being called Nain:
        and many of His disciples went with Him, and a great multitude.
Luk 7:12 Now when He drew near to the gate of the city,
        and behold, there was a dead man carried out, an only-begotten son of his mother,
        and she was a widow: and a big multitude of the city was with her.
Luk 7:13 And the Lord having seen her, He had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.
Luk 7:14 And He having come and touched the bier: and they that bore [him] stood still.
        And He said, Young man, I say to Thee, Arise!
Luk 7:15 And he who [was] dead sat up, and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother.
Luk 7:16 And fear gripped all, and they glorified God,
        saying, that a great Prophet has been raised among us; and that God has visited His people.
Luk 7:17 And this report of Him went forth throughout all Judea,
        and throughout all the region around.

Luk 7:18 {Question about the coming Messiah}.
        And the disciples of John informed him of all these [things].
Luk 7:19 John calling some of his disciples and sent two to Jesus,
        saying, Are Thou the coming{Messiah}? Or look we for another?
Luk 7:20 The men having come to Him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us to Thee,
        saying, Are Thou the coming{Messiah}? Or look we for another?
Luk 7:21 And in that hour He healed many from diseases,
        and plagues, and of evil spirits;
        and to many [that were] blind He granted sight.
Luk 7:22 And Jesus answering, said to them,
        Having gone, tell John what things ye saw and heard;
        that the blind see, the lame walk, [the] lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,
        the dead are raised, and to the poor are the Gospel preached. [Isa 61:1]
Luk 7:23
        And blessed is he, whoever may not offended in Me.
Luk 7:24 Now the messengers of John having departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John,
         What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? A reed being shaken by the wind?
Luk 7:25 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft garment?
        Behold, they who are gorgeously apparelled, being in luxury, are in kings' courts.
Luk 7:26 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet!
Luk 7:27 This is he concerning whom it has been written,
        Behold, I send My messenger;
        before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee. [Mal 3:1]
Luk 7:28 For I say to you, Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist!
        But the least in the Kingdom of God, is greater than he.
Luk 7:29 And all the people that having heard Him, and the publicans, justified God,
        being baptized with the baptism of John.
Luk 7:30 But the Pharisees and Lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
Luk 7:31
        And the Lord said,
        To what then shall I compare the men of this generation?
        And to what are they like?
Luk 7:32 They are like children sitting in the market,
        and calling one to another, and saying,
        We piped to you, and ye not danced;
        we mourned to you, and ye not wept.
Luk 7:33 For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say;
        he has a demon.
Luk 7:34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking; and ye say,
        Behold, a gluttonous man and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. [Mat 11:19]
Luk 7:35 But the wisdom was justified by all her <children>. [Mat 11:19]

Luk 7:36 {Parable of the Two Debtors}.
        And one of the Pharisees desired Him that He would eat with him.
        And He went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down at table.
Luk 7:37 And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner,
        when she having known that He reclines [at table] in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
Luk 7:38 and stood at His feet behind him weeping,
        and began to wash His feet with tears,
        and wiped [them] with the hairs of her head,
        and kissed His feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment.
Luk 7:39 But the Pharisee who having invited Him having seen [it], he spoke within himself, saying,
        This man, if He were a prophet, would have known who, and what manner of woman,
        [this is] that touches Him, for she is a sinner.
Luk 7:40 And Jesus answering, said to him,
        Simon, I have somewhat to say to Thee. And he says, Master, speak.
Luk 7:41 There were two debtors to a certain Creditor:
        the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Luk 7:42 And they having nothing to pay, He forgave them both.
        Tell me therefore, which of them shall love Him most?
Luk 7:43 But Simon answering, said,
        I suppose that he, to whom He forgave most.
        But He said to him, Thou have rightly judged.
Luk 7:44 And He turned to the woman, and said to Simon,
        See Thou this woman? I entered into Thy house, Thou gave Me no water for My feet:
        but she has washed My feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the hairs of her head.
Luk 7:45 Thou gave Me no kiss: but this woman, since that I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.
Luk 7:46 My head with oil Thou did not anoint: but this woman has anointed My feet with ointment.
Luk 7:47 Therefore I say to Thee, Thee, her sins, which are many are forgiven; for she loved much:
        but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loves little!
Luk 7:48 And He said to her,
        Thy sins have been forgiven.
Luk 7:49 And they that sat at table with Him, began to say within themselves,
        Who is this that forgives also sins?
Luk 7:50 And He said to the woman,
        Thy faith has saved Thee; go in peace.

Luk 8:1 {Mary Magdalene}.
        And it came to pass after this, that He went throughout every city and village,
        preaching Gospel of the Kingdom of God:
        and the twelve [were] with Him,
Luk 8:2 and some women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities,
        Mary who being called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out.
Luk 8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other [women], who served Him from their goods.

Luk 8:4 {Parable of the Sower}.
        And a great multitude having gathered, and coming to Him out of every city,
        He spoke by a parable.
Luk 8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed,
        some fell by the way; and it was trampled down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
Luk 8:6 And other fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered, because it not to have moisture.
Luk 8:7 And other fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
Luk 8:8 And other fell on the good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundred-fold.
        Saying these [things], He cried, He who having ears to hear, let him hear.
Luk 8:9 {Parable of the Sower explained}.
        And His disciples asked Him, saying, What might this parable be?
Luk 8:10 But He said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God:
        but to others in parables;
        that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. [Isa 6:9]
Luk 8:11 Now the parable is this: The <seed> is the <Word of God>.
Luk 8:12 Those by the way, are they that hearing; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts,
        lest they having believed and may be saved.
Luk 8:13 They on the rock [are they], who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe,
        and in time of temptation fall away.
Luk 8:14 And that which fell to the thorns: these are they who having heard, go forth, and are choked by cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life,
        and bring no fruit to perfection.
Luk 8:15 But that on the <good ground: these are they, who in an honest and good heart>,
        <having heard the Word, keep> [it], and bring forth fruit with patience.
Luk 8:16 {Parable of the Lamp under the bushel 3}.
        No one, when he has lighted a lamp,
        covers it with a vessel, or puts [it] under a couch; but sets [it] on a lampstand,
        that they who entering in may see the light.
Luk 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
        neither [anything] hid, that shall not be known, and should come abroad.
Luk 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear:
         For whoever may have, to him shall be given:
         and whoever may have not, even what he seems to have shall be taken away from him.

Luk 8:19 {The Saints are a family}.
        Then came to Him the mother and His brothers, and could not meet Him because of the multitude.
Luk 8:20 And it was told to Him [by someone], who saying, Thy mother and Thy brothers have stood outside, desiring to see Thee.
Luk 8:21 But He answering, said to them,
        My mother and My brethren are those <who hearing the Word of GOD, and doing it>.

Luk 8:22 {Calming the storm}.
        And it came to pass on one of the days, that He entered into a ship with His disciples.
        And He said to them,
        Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
Luk 8:23 But as they sailed, He fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake;
        and they were filling [with water], and were in jeopardy.
Luk 8:24 And they having come to Him, and awoke Him, saying,
        Master, Master, we perish!
        But He having risen, and rebuked the wind, and the wave of the water:
        and they ceased, and it became calm.
Luk 8:25 But He said to them,
        Where is your faith?
        And they being afraid, marvelled, saying one to another,
        Then what manner [of man] is this, for He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him?
Luk 8:26 {Legion and the swine}.
        And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite to Galilee.
Luk 8:27 And when He went forth upon the land, there met Him out of the city a certain man,
        who had demons a long time, and wore no garment, neither abode in [any] house, but in the tombs.
Luk 8:28 But having seen Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before Him,
        and with a great voice said,
        What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, [Thou] Son of God the Most High?
        I beseech Thee, Thou should torment me not;
Luk 8:29 (for He commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.
        For often it had caught him, and he was bound with chains, and being kept in fetters:
        and he broke the bands, and was driven by the demon into the wilderness).
Luk 8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is the name of Thee?
        But he said, Legion: because many demons were entered into him.
Luk 8:31 And they besought Him, that He would not command them to go out into the Abyss.
Luk 8:32 And there was there a herd of many swine, being fed on the mountain:
        and they besought Him that He would allow them to enter into them.
        And He allowed them.
Luk 8:33 Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine:
        and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
Luk 8:34 When they that feeding them having seen what having happened, they fled, and went and told [it] in the city and in the fields.
Luk 8:35 Then they went out to see what having happened; and came to Jesus,
        and found the man out of whom the demons had gone out,
        sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and right-minded: and they were afraid.
Luk 8:36 They also who having seen [it], told them how he who was being possessed with demons was whole.
Luk 8:37
        And the whole multitude of the region around the Gadarenes,
        besought Him to depart from them: for they were taken with great fear; and He having entered into the ship, and returned.
Luk 8:38 Now the man out of whom the demons had gone out,
        besought Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away,
Luk 8:39 saying, Return to Thy own house, and declare how great things God has done to Thee.
        And he went away and preaching throughout the whole city, how great things Jesus did to him.

Luk 8:40 {Healing of the bleeding woman and daughter of Jairus}.
        And it came to pass, that, when Jesus returned,
        the multitude [gladly] received Him: for they were all waiting for Him.
Luk 8:41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue:
        and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought Him that He would come into his house:
Luk 8:42 for his daughter was only-begotten, about twelve years,
        and she lay dying.
        But as He was going, the multitudes thronged Him.
Luk 8:43 And a woman being with an issue of blood twelve years,
        who having spent all [she had for] living upon physicians, but could by no one be healed,
Luk 8:44 came behind Him, and touched the border of His garment:
        and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
Luk 8:45 And Jesus said,
        Who touched Me? When all denied, Peter said (and they that were with Him),
        Master, the multitudes throng Thee, and press [Thee], and say Thou, Who touched Me?
Luk 8:46 But Jesus said,
        Someone has touched Me: for I knew [that] power has gone out of Me.
Luk 8:47 And the woman having seen that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before Him,
        she declared to Him before all the people for what cause she touched Him,
        and how she was healed immediately.
Luk 8:48 But He said to her, Daughter, be of good comfort: Thy faith has made Thee whole; go in peace.
Luk 8:49 While He was yet speaking, there comes one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue,
        saying to him, Thy daughter has died: trouble not the Master.
Luk 8:50 But Jesus, having heard, He answered him,
        saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Luk 8:51 And He having come into the house,
        He allow no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maid{girl}.
Luk 8:52 And all wept and bewailed her: but He said,
        Weep not: she died not, but sleeps.
Luk 8:53 And they derided Him, knowing that she died.
Luk 8:54 And He having put them all out, and having taken her by the hand, and called,
        saying, maid{girl}, arise!
Luk 8:55 And her spirit turned back, and she arose immediately: and He commanded to give her to eat.
Luk 8:56 And her parents were amazed: but He commanded them that they should tell no man what having happened.

Luk 9:1 {Mission of the twelve apostles}.
        Then He called His twelve disciples together,
        and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases.
Luk 9:2 And He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Luk 9:3 And He said to them,
        Take nothing for the journey, neither <staffs>, nor bag, neither bread, neither money; neither to have two coats apiece. [Mat 10:10]
Luk 9:4 And into whatever house ye may enter, there abide, and thence depart.
Luk 9:5 And whoever may not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
Luk 9:6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the Gospel, and healing everywhere.

Luk 9:7 {Death of John the Baptist}.
        Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him: and he was perplexed,
        because that it was said by some, that John has been raised from the dead;
Luk 9:8 and by some, that Elijah has appeared;
        and by others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen up.
Luk 9:9 And Herod said,
        John have I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see Him.
Luk 9:10 {Miracle of the loaves}.
        And the apostles, they having returned, declared Him how much that they did.
        And He having taken them, and withdrew privately into a desert place,
        belonging to the city being called Beth-saida{House of Fish}.
Luk 9:11 And the multitudes, having known [it], followed Him: and He received them,
        and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and healed them that having need of healing.
Luk 9:12 And the day began to decline, then having come the twelve,
        and said to Him, Send the multitude away, that they go around into the towns and fields,
        and may lodge, and may get provision: for we are here in a desert place.
Luk 9:13 But He said to them,
        Give ye them to eat.
        And they said,
        [There] are by us no more than five loaves and two fishes;
        except we should having gone and buy foods for all this people.
Luk 9:14 For they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples,
        Make them sit down by groups of fifty.
Luk 9:15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
Luk 9:16 Then He having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes,
         and having looked up to Heaven, He blessed them, and broke [it],
         and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Luk 9:17 And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.
Luk 9:18 {The Messiah is revealed by Peter}.
        And it came to pass, as He be in retirement praying,
        the disciples were with Him; and He asked them, saying,
        Who say the multitudes that I be?
Luk 9:19 They answering, said,
        John the Baptist; but some [say],
        Elijah; and others [say],
        that one of the ancient prophets was risen up.
Luk 9:20 But He said to them,
        But who say ye that I be?
        But Peter answering, said, the Christ{Messiah} of God.
Luk 9:21 {Secret until the Resurrection}.
        And He strictly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing,
Luk 9:22 saying, The Son of Man must suffer many [things],
        and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes,
        and to be killed, and be raised the third day.
Luk 9:23 {Take up his cross: tribulation}.
        And He said to [them] all,
        If anyone will to come after Me, let him deny himself,
        and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
Luk 9:24 For whoever may wish to save his soul, shall lose it;
         but whoever may wish to lose his soul for My sake, the same shall save it.
Luk 9:25 For what is a man profited, having gained the whole World,
        and having lost or having destroyed himself?
Luk 9:26 For whoever may have been ashamed of Me, and of My words,
        the Son of Man shall be ashamed of him,
        when He should come in His own glory, and [of His] Father, and of the Holy Angels.
Luk 9:27 But I tell you, Truly there are some standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God.
Luk 9:28 {Transfiguration of Jesus}.
        And it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings,
        He took Peter, and John, and James, and went up upon the mountain to pray.
Luk 9:29 And as He came to pray, the fashion of His countenance was altered, and His garment [was] white [and] glistening.
Luk 9:30 And behold, there talked with Him two men, who were Moses and Elijah.
Luk 9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spoke of His departure which He should accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luk 9:32 But Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep: and they having waked,
        they saw His glory, and the two men that stood with Him.
Luk 9:33
        And it came to pass, as they departed from Him,
        Peter said to Jesus,
        Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three Tabernacles;
        one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah:
        not knowing what He says.
Luk 9:34 While He was saying this, there came a cloud,
        and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
Luk 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud,
        saying, This is My beloved Son: hear Him.
Luk 9:36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone.
        And they kept [it] close. And they told to no one in those days, nothing which they have seen.
Luk 9:37 {The dumb spirit}.
        And it came to pass, that on the next [day], when they descending from the mountain, a great multitude met Him.
Luk 9:38 And behold, a man of the multitude cried out, saying,
        Master, I beseech Thee look upon my son: for he is my only-begotten.
Luk 9:39 And behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out;
        and it tears him, with foam, and bruising him, hardly departs from him.
Luk 9:40 And I besought Thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they could not.
Luk 9:41 But Jesus answering, said,
        O faithless and perverted generation, until when shall I be with you, and shall bear you? Bring Thy son here.
Luk 9:42 And as He was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore [him]. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit,
        and healed the boy, and delivered him back to his father.
Luk 9:43 And they were all astonished at the majesty of God.
        But while they were all marvelling at all [things] which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,
Luk 9:44 Lay these sayings into your ears: for the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.
Luk 9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them,
        that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask Him concerning that saying.
Luk 9:46 {Be humble as a child}.
        Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them might be greatest.
Luk 9:47 But Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set it by Him,
Luk 9:48 and said to them,
        Whoever may receive this child in My name, receives Me;
        and whoever may receive Me, receives Him who sent Me:
        for he who being least among you all, the same shall be great.
Luk 9:49
        But John answering, said,
        Master, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name;
        and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
Luk 9:50 And Jesus said to him,
        Forbid [him] not. For he who is not against us, is for us.

Luk 9:51 {He comes to save}.
        And it came to pass, the fulfilling of the days of His received up, He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,
Luk 9:52 and sent messengers before His face: and they having gone and entered into a village of the Samaritans,
        to prepare for Him.
Luk 9:53 And they did not receive Him, because His face was as though He would go to Jerusalem.
Luk 9:54 And His disciples James and John having seen [this], they said,
        Lord, will Thou that we should tell fire to come down from Heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did? [2Ki 1:10-14]
Luk 9:55 But He having turned, and rebuked them, and said,
         Ye have not known what manner of spirit ye are.
Luk 9:56 For the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's souls, but to save [them]. And they went to another village.

Luk 9:57 {Follow Me}.
        And it came to pass, that as they were going in the way, a certain [man] said to Him,
        Lord, I shall follow Thee wherever Thou may go.
Luk 9:58 And Jesus said to him,
        The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air [have] nests;
        but the Son of Man has nowhere He may lay the head.
Luk 9:59 And He said to another,
        Follow Me.
        But he said,
        Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.
Luk 9:60 But Jesus said to him,
        Let the dead bury their dead: but go Thou and preach the Kingdom of God.
Luk 9:61 And another also said,
        Lord, I shall follow Thee; but let me first go [and] bid them farewell who are at my house.
Luk 9:62 But Jesus said to him,
        no one having put his hand to a plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.

Luk 10:1 {The seventy}.
        And after these, the Lord also appointed others: seventy,
        and sent them two by [two] before His face into every city,
        and place, where He Himself was about to come.
Luk 10:2 Therefore said He to them,
        The Harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few.
        Pray ye therefore the Lord of the Harvest, that He may send forth labourers into His Harvest.
Luk 10:3 Go: behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
Luk 10:4 Carry neither purse, nor sack, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
Luk 10:5 And into whatever house ye may enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.
Luk 10:6 And if indeed the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: otherwise, it shall turn to you.
Luk 10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things from them:
        for the labourer is worthy of his reward. Go not from house to house.
Luk 10:8 And into whatever city ye may enter, and they receive you,
        eat such things as being set before you.
Luk 10:9 And heal the sick that are in it, and say to them,
        The Kingdom of God has drawn near to you.
Luk 10:10 But into whatever city ye may enter, and they receive you not,
        go out into the streets of the same, and say,
Luk 10:11 even the very dust of your city which cleaves on us, we do wipe off against you:
        nevertheless this know ye, that the Kingdom of God has drawn near to you.
Luk 10:12 {Woe to cities that refused to repent!}.
        But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city!
Luk 10:13 Woe to Thee, Chorazin! Woe to Thee Beth-saida! For if the miracles have been done in Tyre and Sidon,
          have been done in you, they would have repented long ago sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Luk 10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
Luk 10:15 And Thou, Capernaum, which has been exalted to the Heaven, shall be thrust down to Hades. [Mat 11:23]
Luk 10:16
        He who hearing you, hears Me;
        and he who despising you, despises Me;
        and he who despising Me, despises Him who sent Me.

Luk 10:17 {Return of the seventy}.
        And the seventy returned with joy, saying,
        Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Thy name.
Luk 10:18 But He said to them,
        I beheld Satan as lightning fall from Heaven.
Luk 10:19 Behold, I give to you the might to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:
        and no, [then] nothing shall hurt you.
Luk 10:20 Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice,
        because your names are written in Heavens.
Luk 10:21 {Revealing}.
        In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit, and said,
        I thank Thee, Father, Lord of the Heaven and the Earth,
        that Thou hid these [things] from the wise and prudent, and have to infants revealed them.
        Yes, Father, for so it became good pleasure in Thy eyes.
Luk 10:22 All things are delivered to Me by My Father: and no one knows,
        who the Son is, except the Father; and who the Father is, except the Son, and to whom the Son may wish to reveal.
Luk 10:23
        And He having turned to the disciples, and said privately,
        Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see!
Luk 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye see,
        and have not seen; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard.
Luk 10:25 {The Great Commandment}.
        And behold, a certain Lawyer stood up, and testing Him, saying,
        Master, what [must] I doing [that] I may inherit everlasting life?
Luk 10:26 But He said to him,
        What has been written in the Law? How read Thou?
Luk 10:27 But he answering, said,
        Thou shall love the LORD Thy God with all Thy heart and with all Thy soul, and with all Thy strength, and with all Thy mind. [Deu 6:5]
        And Thy neighbour as thyself. [Lev 19:18]
Luk 10:28 But He said to him,
        Thou have answered rightly: this do, and Thou shall live.
Luk 10:29 {Parable of the good Samaritan}.
        But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
Luk 10:30 But Jesus having replied, said,
        A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers,
        who stripped and wounded him, departed, leaving [him] being half dead.
Luk 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way;
        and he having seen him, he passed by on the other side.
Luk 10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place,
        coming and looking, and passed by on the other side.
Luk 10:33 But a certain traveling Samaritan came upon him:
        and he having seen him, he had compassion,
Luk 10:34 and he having come to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine,
        and set him on his own [tame] animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Luk 10:35 And on the morrow, when he departed, he having taken out two denarii, and gave [them] to the innkeeper,
        and said to him,
        Take care of him: and whatever Thou may spend more, when I return, I shall repay Thee.
Luk 10:36 Which then of these three, think Thou, to have been a neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?
Luk 10:37 But he said,
        He who having showed mercy with him.
        Then said Jesus to him,
        Go, and do Thou likewise.

Luk 10:38 {Martha and Mary}.
        And it came to pass, as they were going, He entered into a certain village:
        and a certain woman, named Martha, received Him into her house.
Luk 10:39 And her sister was being called Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus, and heard His word.
Luk 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to Him, and said,
        Lord, do Thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Say her therefore that she may help me.
Luk 10:41 But Jesus answering, said to her,
        Martha, Martha, Thou are anxious, and are troubled about many [things]:
Luk 10:42 but one [thing] is needful; and Mary has chosen that good part,
        which shall not be taken away from her.

Luk 11:1 {Lord's Prayer 2}.
        And it came to pass, that as He be praying in a certain place,
        when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him,
        Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught His disciples.
Luk 11:2 But He said to them, When ye pray, say,
         Our Father who [is] in the Heavens,
         Hallowed be Thy name,
         Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done: in Heaven and upon the Earth.
Luk 11:3 Give us every day our daily Bread.
Luk 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
         And Thou would not bring us into temptation; but deliver us from the Evil.

Luk 11:5 {Parable of the friend at night}.
        And He said to them,
        Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight,
        and may say to him,
        Friend, lend me three loaves:
Luk 11:6 since a friend of mine came out in his journey to me, and I have not what I shall set before him?
Luk 11:7 And he within, answering, should say,
        Trouble me not: the door is now shut,
        and my children are with me in bed;
        I cannot standing up and to give Thee.
Luk 11:8 I say to you,
        Though having rising, he shall not give to him, because he be his friend,
        yet because of his importunity, having risen, he shall give him as many as he needs!
Luk 11:9 {Asking and limits of evilness}.
        And I say to you,
        Ask, and it shall be given you;
        seek, and ye shall find;
        knock, and it shall be opened to you!
Luk 11:10 For every one that asking, receives;
        and he who seeking, finds;
        and to him that knocking, it shall be opened.
Luk 11:11
        If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, shall he give him a stone?
        Or if he [shall ask] a fish, shall he for a fish give him a serpent?
Luk 11:12 And if he may ask an egg, shall he give him a scorpion?
Luk 11:13 If ye then, being evil, have known [how] to give good gifts to your children:
        how much more shall your Father from Heaven give [the] Holy Spirit to them that asking Him?

Luk 11:14 {A demon casted out}.
        And He was casting out a demon, and it was dumb.
        And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out,
        the dumb spoke; and the multitudes marvelled.
Luk 11:15 But some of them said,
        He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.
Luk 11:16 And others tempting Him, sought from Him a sign from Heaven.
Luk 11:17 But He knowing their thoughts, said to them,
        Every kingdom divided against itself is desolated;
        and a house [divided] against a house falls.
Luk 11:18 But if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
        Because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Luk 11:19 But if I by Beelzebul cast out demons,
          by whom do your sons cast [them] out?
        Therefore shall they be your judges.
Luk 11:20 But if I with the finger of GOD cast out demons,
        no doubt the Kingdom of God is come upon you.
Luk 11:21 {Parable of the strong man}.
        When the strong [man] armed may keep his palace, his goods are in peace:
Luk 11:22 but when a stronger than he having come, [and] may overcome him.
        He takes from him his whole armour in which he had trusted, and distributed his spoils.
Luk 11:23 He who being not with Me is against Me;
      and he who not gathering with Me scatters.
Luk 11:24 {Return of the unclean spirit}.
        When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,
        he pass through places without water, seeking rest, and finding none,
        he says, I shall return to My house whence I came out.
Luk 11:25 And he having come, he finds [it] swept and adorned.
Luk 11:26 Then he goes and takes [to him] seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in,
        and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man becomes worse than the first.

Luk 11:27 {Blessing for the Saints}.
        And it came to pass, as He was speaking these [things], a certain woman of the multitude lifted up her voice,
        and said to Him,
        Blessed [is] the womb that bore Thee, and the breasts which nourished Thee!
Luk 11:28 But He said,
        But rather <blessed [are] those who hearing the Word of GOD, and keeping it>.

Luk 11:29 {Sign of the prophet Jonah}.
        And the multitudes being gathered together,
        He began to say, This generation is evil: it seeks a sign;
        and there shall no sign be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Luk 11:30 For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.
Luk 11:31 The Queen of the South shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation,
          and shall condemn them:
          for she came from the ends of the Earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
          and behold, a greater [is] here than Solomon. [1Ki 10:1]
Luk 11:32 The men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment with this generation,
          and shall condemn it:
          because they repented at the preaching of Jonah;
          and behold, a greater [is] here than Jonah.

Luk 11:33 {Parable of the Lamp under the bushel 4}.
        No one when he has lighted a lamp,
        puts [it] in a secret place, neither under the bushel, but on the lampstand,
        that they who entering in may see the light.
Luk 11:34 The lamp of the body is the eye:
         when therefore Thy eye is single{clear}, Thy whole body also is full of light;
         but when [Thy eye] is evil, Thy body also [is] full of darkness.
Luk 11:35 Take heed therefore, that the light which is in Thee be not darkness.
Luk 11:36 If Thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark,
        the whole shall be full of light; as when the lamp by the brightness may give Thee light.

Luk 11:37 {Clean within}.
        And as He was speaking, a certain Pharisee besought Him to dine with him:
        and He went in, and sat down to eat.
Luk 11:38 But the Pharisee having seen, he marvelled that He had not first bathed before dinner.
Luk 11:39 And the Lord said to him,
        Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the dish;
        but your within is full of ravening and wickedness.
Luk 11:40 [Ye] fools, did not He who having made the outside, also made the inside?
Luk 11:41 But rather give alms those things which are within; and behold, all [things] are clean to you.

Luk 11:42 {Woes of the Pharisees}.
        But woe to you, Pharisees!
        For ye tithe mint, and rue, and every herb,
        and pass over the judgment and the love of God:
        these ye ought to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
Luk 11:43
        Woe to you, Pharisees! For ye love the chief seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Luk 11:44
        Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are as graves which appear not,
        and the men that walking over [them] have not known.
Luk 11:45 But one of the Lawyers answering,
        says to Him, Master, thus saying, Thou insult us also.
Luk 11:46 But He said,
        Woe to you also, [ye] Lawyers! For ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne,
        and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Luk 11:47
        Woe to you! For ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Luk 11:48 Truly ye bear testimony, that ye consent the works of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs.
Luk 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of GOD,
        I shall send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and shall persecute:
Luk 11:50 that the blood of all the prophets, which being shed from the foundation of the World,
        may be required of this generation;
Luk 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the Altar and the House{Temple}:
        Yes, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation!
Luk 11:52
        Woe to you, Lawyers! For ye took away the key of knowledge:
        ye not entered in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Luk 11:53
        And as He saying these [things] to them,
        the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him vehemently, and to solicit Him to speak of many [things];
Luk 11:54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
Luk 12:1 {The leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees}.
        Meanwhile, when there was gathered myriads of the multitude,
        so that they to trample down one upon another, He began to say to His disciples:
        first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, (which is hypocrisy).
Luk 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
        neither hid, that shall not be known.
Luk 12:3 Because, whatever ye spoke in darkness, shall be heard in the light;
        and that which ye spoke in the ear in closets, shall be preached upon the roofs.

Luk 12:4 {Fear God more than tribulation}.
        And I say to you,
        My friends, Be not afraid of them that killing the body, and after these having no more that they can do!
Luk 12:5 But I shall warn you whom ye should fear:
        Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into the Gehenna. Yes, I say to you, Fear him!
Luk 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two asses, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Luk 12:7 But even the hairs of your head are all have been numbered.
        Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luk 12:8 {Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit 3}.
        Also I say to you,
        Whoever may confess Me before men,
        him shall the Son of Man also confess before the Angels of GOD;
Luk 12:9 but he who denying Me before men,
        shall be denied before the Angels of GOD!
Luk 12:10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man,
        it shall be forgiven him:
        but to him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit,
        it shall not be forgiven!
Luk 12:11 But when they bring you to the synagogues,
        and [before] magistrates, and the authorities,
        be not anxious how or what thing ye should reply as defence, or what ye should say:
Luk 12:12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what ye ought to say.
Luk 12:13 {Parable of the rich fool}.
        And one of the multitude said to Him,
        Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
Luk 12:14 But He said to him,
        Man, who made Me a judge, or a divider over you?
Luk 12:15 And He said to them,
        Take heed, and beware of covetousness:
        for his life is not in the abundance as the goods of him.
Luk 12:16 And He spoke a parable to them, saying,
        The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.
Luk 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying,
        What should I do, because I have no room where I shall deposit my fruits?
Luk 12:18 And he said,
        This shall I do: I shall pull down my barns, and build greater; and there shall I deposit all my fruits and my goods.
Luk 12:19 And I shall say to my soul, Soul, Thou have abundance of goods laid up for many years;
        take Thy ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
Luk 12:20 But God said to him,
        [Thou] fool, this night they require Thy soul from Thee: and what Thou have prepared, to whom shall it be?
Luk 12:21 So [is] he who treasuring up for himself, and is not rich towards GOD.
Luk 12:22 {Against materialism 3}.
        And He said to His disciples,
        Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your soul, what ye may eat;
        neither for the body, what ye may put on!
Luk 12:23 The soul is more than food,
        and the body [is more] than garment.
Luk 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap:
        which neither have store-house, nor barn;
        and God feeds them: How much more value are ye than the fowls?
Luk 12:25 But who out of you, [by] being anxious, can add to his stature one cubit?
Luk 12:26 If ye then are not able to do that thing which is least, why are ye anxious for the rest?
Luk 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: They toil not, they not spin;
        and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these!
Luk 12:28 But if then God so clothe the grass of the field, being today, and tomorrow being cast into the oven;
        how much more [will He clothe] you, ye of little faith?
Luk 12:29 And seek ye not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, neither ye be anxious.
Luk 12:30 For all these [things] seek the nations of the World: and your Father has known that ye need of these [things].
Luk 12:31 But rather seek ye the Kingdom of God, and all these [things] shall be added to you.
Luk 12:32
        Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luk 12:33 Sell your goods, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which become not old,
        a treasure in the Heavens that fails not,
        where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
Luk 12:34 For where your treasure is, there shall be also your heart.
Luk 12:35 {Parable of the faithful servant}.
        Let your loins be girt, and the lamps be burning.
Luk 12:36 And ye yourselves like men that wait for their Lord,
        when He shall return from the Marriage;
        that He comes and knocks,
        they immediately may open to Him.
Luk 12:37 Blessed [are] those servants,
        whom the Lord when He coming shall find watching:
        Amen I say to you, that he shall gird himself,
        and shall make them to sit down [to eat], and shall come forth and shall serve them!
Luk 12:38 And if He should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch,
        and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.
Luk 12:39
        And this know, that if the housemaster had known at what hour the thief comes,
        he would watch, and not allow his house to be broken through.
Luk 12:40 Become ye therefore ready also: for at an hour when ye think not; the Son of Man comes.
Luk 12:41
        But Peter said to Him,
        Lord, speak Thou this parable to us, or even to all?
Luk 12:42 And the Lord said,
        Who then is that faithful and wise steward,
        whom [his] Lord shall set over His household,
        to give [them] the portion of provisions in due season?
Luk 12:43 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his Lord when He coming shall find so doing!
Luk 12:44 Truly I say to you, that He shall set him over all His goods!
Luk 12:45 But if that servant may say in his heart, my Lord delays His coming;
        and may begin to beat the boy-servants and the maid-servants,
        both to eat and drink, and to be drunken?
Luk 12:46 The Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for Him,
        and at an hour which he not knowns, and shall cut him asunder,
        and shall appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
Luk 12:47 And that servant who knew His Lord's will, and having prepared not,
        neither doing according to His will, shall be beaten with many [stripes].
Luk 12:48 But he who not having known, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes].
        For to whomsoever much was given, from him shall much be required:
        and to whom they did committed much, from him they shall ask the more.
Luk 12:49
        Came I to cast fire on the Earth, and what will I, if it is already kindled?
Luk 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened until it should be finished!

Luk 12:51 {Warnings for the Saints}.
        Suppose ye that I came to give peace on the Earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:
Luk 12:52 for from now on there shall be five in one house divided,
        three against two, and two against three.
Luk 12:53 A father shall be divided against a son,
        and a son against a father;
        a mother against a daughter,
        and a daughter against a mother;
        a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law,
        and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

Luk 12:54 {Discerning the time}.
        And He said also to the multitudes,
        When ye see a cloud rising in the west, immediately ye say, There comes a shower; and so it happens.
Luk 12:55 And when [ye perceive] the south [wind] blowing, ye say, There shall be heat; and it comes to pass.
Luk 12:56 [Ye] hypocrites, ye have known to discern the face of the Earth and of the Heaven; but how is it, that ye do not discern this time?

Luk 12:57 {Solve conflicts 2}.
        And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Luk 12:58 For when Thou go with Thy adversary to the ruler,
        [as Thou are] in the way, give diligence that Thou may be delivered from him;
        lest He draw Thee before the judge,
        and the judge may deliver Thee to the officer, and the officer may cast Thee into prison.
Luk 12:59 I say to Thee, Thou may not come out thence, until Thou may paid even the last lepton.

Luk 13:1 {No victim-bashing but repent}.
        There were present at the time that some telling Him about the Galileans,
        whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
Luk 13:2 And Jesus answering, said to them,
        Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans,
        because such things they have suffered?
Luk 13:3 I tell you, No; but <except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish>.
Luk 13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them,
        think ye that these were sinners above all men that dwelling in Jerusalem?
Luk 13:5 I tell you, No; but <except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish>.

Luk 13:6 {Parable of the barren fig-tree}.
        He spoke also this parable: A certain [Man] had a fig-tree planted in His vineyard;
        and He came and sought fruit on it, and found none.
Luk 13:7 But He said to the dresser of His vineyard,
        Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree,
        and find none: cut it down; and why cumbers it the ground?
Luk 13:8 But he answering, says to Him,
        Lord, let it alone this year also, until I may dig about it, and manure [it].
Luk 13:9 Even if it should bear fruit, [well]: otherwise, [then] after that Thou shall cut it down.

Luk 13:10 {Healing of a woman on the Sabbath}.
        And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbaths.
Luk 13:11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity,
        eighteen years, and was bowed together,
        and could in no raise [herself] completely.
Luk 13:12 But Jesus having seen her,
        He called [her], and said to her,
        Woman, Thou are loosed from Thy infirmity.
Luk 13:13 And He laid [His] hands on her: and immediately she was made straight,
        and glorified God.
Luk 13:14 But the ruler of the synagogue answering with indignation, because Jesus healed on the Sabbath,
        and said to the multitude,
        There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath.
Luk 13:15 The Lord then answered him,
        and said, [Thou] hypocrite, does not each one of you on the Sabbath,
        loose his ox or ass from the manger, and lead him away to watering?
Luk 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound,
        behold, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?
Luk 13:17 And He saying these [things], all His adversaries were ashamed:
        and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

Luk 13:18 {Parable of the grain of mustard}.
        But He said, To what is the Kingdom of God like it?
        And to what shall I compare it?
Luk 13:19 It is like a grain of mustard, which a Man having taken, and cast into His garden, and it grew,
        and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches.
Luk 13:20 {Parable of the leaven}.
        And again He said, To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
Luk 13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three seahs of meal, until the whole was leavened.
Luk 13:22 {The good way is hard to follow}.
        And He went through the cities and villages,
        teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem.
Luk 13:23 Then said one to Him, Lord, are there few that are being saved?
        But He said to them,
Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in through the narrow gate: [Mat 7:13]
        for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter in,
        and shall not be able!
Luk 13:25 {Workers of lawlessness are banned from the coming Kingdom of God 2}.
        When once the Housemaster has risen, and may have shut the door,
        and ye begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door,
        saying, Lord, Lord, open to us;
        and He answering, shall say to you,
        I have not known you whence ye are:
Luk 13:26 then ye shall begin to say,
        We have eaten and drank in Thy presence, and Thou have taught in our streets.
Luk 13:27 But He shall say,
        I tell you, I have not known you whence ye are:
        depart from Me, all [ye] workers of unrighteousness{lawlessness}. [Psa 6:8 Mat 7:23]
Luk 13:28 There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
        When ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God,
        and you being cast out.
Luk 13:29 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.
Luk 13:30 And behold, there are last, who shall be first; and there are first who shall be last.
Luk 13:31 {He shall come to save Jerusalem when they want His support}.
        In that day there came some of the Pharisees, saying to Him,
        Go out, and depart hence; for Herod will to kill Thee.
Luk 13:32 And He said to them,
        Having gone; tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I do healings today and tomorrow,
        and the third [day] I AM perfected.
Luk 13:33 Nevertheless I must walk today and tomorrow,
        and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
Luk 13:34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killing the prophets, and stoning those who have been sent to her;
        how often would I to gather Thy children, as a hen [gathers] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Luk 13:35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
        And Amen I say to you, Ye may not see Me, until it may come when ye may say,
        <Blessed [is] He who coming in the name of the LORD>! [Psa 118:26]

Luk 14:1 {Healing of the dropsy on the Sabbath}.
        And it came to pass, as He come into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees,
        to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him.
Luk 14:2 And behold, there was a certain man before Him was a dropsy.
Luk 14:3 And Jesus answering, said to the Lawyers and Pharisees,
        saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?
Luk 14:4 And they held their peace. And He took him and healed him, and let [him] go;
Luk 14:5 and answering them, He said,
         Whose ass or ox of yours shall fall into a pit, and shall not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath Day?
Luk 14:6 And they could not reply Him to these [things].

Luk 14:7 {Parable of the Marriage invited}.
        And He spoke a parable to those who having been invited,
        when He marked how they chose out the best seat; saying to them,
Luk 14:8 when Thou may be invited by anyone to a Marriage,
        Thou should not sit down in the best seat, lest a more honourable man than Thou may be invited by Him;
Luk 14:9 and he having come; He who having invited Thee and him, shall say to Thee,
        Give this man place; and Thou may begin with shame to take the last place.
Luk 14:10 But when Thou may be invited, go and sit down in the lowest place;
        that when He who invited Thee may come, He may say to Thee,
        Friend, go up higher: then glory shall be to Thee in the presence of them that sit at table with Thee.
Luk 14:11 For every one that exalting himself shall be humbled;
        and he who humbling himself shall be exalted.
Luk 14:12 But He said also to him that invited Him,
        When Thou may make a dinner or a supper, call not Thy friends,
        nor Thy brethren, neither the relatives of Thy, nor [Thy] rich neighbours;
        lest they also invite Thee again, and a recompense be made Thee.
Luk 14:13 But when Thou may make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Luk 14:14 and Thou shall be blessed: for they cannot recompense Thee:
        for Thou shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Luk 14:15 {Parable of the Great Banquet}.
        And one of them that sat at table with Him having heard these [things], he said to Him,
        Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God!
Luk 14:16 But He said to him,
        A certain Man made a great supper, and invited many:
Luk 14:17 and sent His servant at supper-hour, to say to them who having been invited,
        Come, for all [things] are now ready.
Luk 14:18 And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse.
        The first said to Him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must necessarily go and see it: I pray Thee have me excused.
Luk 14:19 And another said, I have bought five pair of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray Thee have me excused.
Luk 14:20 And another said, I have married a wife: and therefore I cannot to come.
Luk 14:21 And that servant having come, told to his Lord these [things]. Then the Housemaster being angry, said to His servant,
        Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind.
Luk 14:22 And the servant said,
        Lord, it has been done as Thou have commanded, and yet there is place.
Luk 14:23 And the Lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that My house may be filled.
Luk 14:24 For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste My supper!
Luk 14:25
        And there went great multitudes with Him: and He having turned, and said to them,
Luk 14:26 if anyone comes to Me and not love less:
        his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and besides, even his own soul, he cannot be My disciple.
Luk 14:27 And whoever does not bear his cross, and comes after Me, cannot be My disciple.
Luk 14:28 {Parable of counting the cost}.
        For which of you intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost,
        if he has [sufficient] to finish?
Luk 14:29 Lest perhaps after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish,
        all that seeing [it] may begin to mock him,
Luk 14:30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Luk 14:31 Or what king going to make war against another king, sits not down first,
        and consults if he is able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?
Luk 14:32 Otherwise, while the other being yet far off, he sends an embassy, and desire conditions of peace.
Luk 14:33 So then, whoever he is of you that forsakes not all his goods, he cannot be My disciple.
Luk 14:34 {Salt 3}.
        Salt [is] good: but if the salt may lose its savour, with what shall it be seasoned?
Luk 14:35 It is neither fit for the land, nor for the manure,
        [but] men cast it out. He who having ears to hear, let him hear.

Luk 15:1 {Parable of the lost sheep}.
        But all the publicans were drawing near Him to hear Him.
Luk 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying,
        This man receives sinners, and eats with them.
Luk 15:3 And He spoke this parable to them, saying,
Luk 15:4 what man of you having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them,
        does not leave the ninety nine in the wilderness,
        and go after that which having been lost, until he finds it?
Luk 15:5 And he having found [it],
        he lays [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Luk 15:6 And he having come to the house [of his], he calls together his friends and neighbours,
        saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which having been lost.
Luk 15:7 I say to you, that so joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repents,
        more than over ninety nine just [persons], who need no repentance!
Luk 15:8 {Parable of the lost coin}.
        Either what woman having ten drachmas, if she may lose one drachma,
        does not lights a lamp, and sweeps the house, and seeks carefully until she may find?
Luk 15:9 And she having found [it], she calls together her [female] friends and [female] neighbours,
        saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the drachma which I lost.
Luk 15:10 So, I say to you,
        There is joy in the presence of the Angels of GOD over one sinner that repents!
Luk 15:11 {Parable of the prodigal son}.
        And He said, A certain man had two sons.
Luk 15:12 And the younger of them said to the Father,
        Father, give me the portion of property that falls [to me]. And he divided to them [his] living.
Luk 15:13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together,
        and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his property with riotously living.
Luk 15:14 Then he having spent all, there came a severe famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
Luk 15:15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Luk 15:16 And he desired to fill his belly with the husks that the swine,
        did eat; and no one gave to him.
Luk 15:17 But he having come to himself, he said,
        how many hired servants of my Father have bread enough and to spare, but I am perishing with famine!
Luk 15:18 Having risen up, I shall go to my Father, and shall say to Him,
        Father, I sinned against Heaven, and before Thee,
Luk 15:19 and am no more worthy to be called Thy son: make me as one of Thy hired servants.
Luk 15:20 And he standing up, and came to his Father.
        But when he yet was afar off, his Father saw him,
        and had compassion, and having run, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Luk 15:21 But the son said to Him,
        Father, I sinned against Heaven, and in Thy sight,
        and am no more worthy to be called Thy son.
Luk 15:22 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 for the feet:
Luk 15:23 and bring here the fatted calf, and kill [it]; and let us eat,
        and be merry:
Luk 15:24 for this My son was dead, and became alive again;
        and having been lost, and was found.
        And they began to be merry.
Luk 15:25 Now His elder son was in the field: and as [he] coming and drew near to the house,
        he heard a symphony and dancings.
Luk 15:26 And he called one of the servants, and inquired what these [things] might be.
Luk 15:27 But he said to him,
        Thy brother is come; and Thy Father has killed the fatted calf, because He has received him in health.
Luk 15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in; therefore his Father came out, and entreated him.
Luk 15:29 But he answering, said to the Father,
        Behold, these many years do I serve Thee, I have never transgressed Thy Commandment;
        and yet Thou never gave me a goat, that I might make merry with my friends:
Luk 15:30 but when this Thy son came, who has devoured Thy living with whores,
        Thou have killed for him the fatted calf.
Luk 15:31 But He said to him,
        Child, Thou are always with me: and all that I have is Thy,
Luk 15:32 it was needful that we should make merry, and rejoice:
        for this Thy brother was dead, and became alive again;
        and having been lost, and was found.
Luk 16:1 {Parable of the unjust steward}.
        And He said also to His disciples,
        There was a certain rich man who had a steward;
        and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
Luk 16:2 And he called him, and said to him,
        How is it that I hear this of Thee? Give the account of Thy stewardship:
        for Thou shall not be able to steward.
Luk 16:3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do?
        For my lord takes from me the stewardship:
        I cannot to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
Luk 16:4 I know what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship,
        they may receive me into their houses.
Luk 16:5 And he called every one of his lord's debtors,
        and said to the first, How much own Thou to my lord?
Luk 16:6 But he said, A hundred baths of oil.
        And he said to him, Take Thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Luk 16:7 Then said he to another,
        And how much own Thou? And he said,
        A hundred cors of wheat. And says to him, Take Thy bill, and write eighty.
Luk 16:8 And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, because he did prudently:
        for the sons of this Age{World} are in their own generation prudent than the sons of Light.
Luk 16:9 {Against materialism 2}.
        And I say to you,
        Make to yourselves friends out of the unrighteous Mammon{materialism};
        that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting Tabernacles!
Luk 16:10 He who [is] faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much;
        and he who is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
Luk 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unjust Mammon{materialism},
        who shall entrust you the true [riches]?
Luk 16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's,
        who shall give you that which is yours?
Luk 16:13 No household servant can serve two Lords:
        for either he shall hate the one, and shall love the other;
        or else he shall hold to the one, and shall despise the other.
        Ye cannot serve GOD and Mammon{materialism}.

Luk 16:14 {The Law is unchanged 2}.
        And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these [things], and they derided Him.
Luk 16:15 And He said to them,
        Ye are they who justify yourselves before men;
        but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men,
        is abomination in the sight of GOD.
Luk 16:16 The Law and the Prophets [were] until John:
        from then the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is preached, and every [man presses] into it [by] force.
Luk 16:17 And it is easier for the Heaven and the Earth to pass away, than one tittle of the Law to fail.
Luk 16:18 Whoever divorce his wife, and marries another, commits adultery;
        and whoever marries her that is divorced from [her] husband, commits adultery.
Luk 16:19 {Parable of the rich man and Lazarus}.
        There was a certain <rich man>,
        and he was clothed in <purple> and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day:
Luk 16:20 and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,
        who had been laid at his gate, full of sores,
Luk 16:21 and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table:
          but also the dogs coming and licked his sores.
Luk 16:22
        And it came to pass, that the beggar died,
        and was carried by Angels into Abraham's bosom.
        The rich man also died, and was buried:
Luk 16:23 and in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments,
        and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luk 16:24 And he having 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.
Luk 16:25 And Abraham said,
        Child, remember that Thou in Thy life received Thy good things,
        and likewise Lazarus evil things:
        but now he is comforted, and Thou are tormented.
Luk 16:26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed:
        so that they cannot who willing to pass from hence to you;
        neither that [would come] from thence can they pass over to us.
Luk 16:27 Then he said,
        I pray Thee therefore, father, that Thou would send him to my father's house:
Luk 16:28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also may come into this place of torment.
Luk 16:29 Abraham says to him,
        They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.
Luk 16:30 And he said, No, father Abraham:
        but if one should go to them from the dead, they shall repent.
Luk 16:31 But he said to him,
        If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, neither shall they be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.

Luk 17:1 {Repent and grain of mustard}.
        Then He said to the disciples,
        It is impossible for offences not to come: but woe by whom [the offence] comes!
Luk 17:2 It is better for him that a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea,
        than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Luk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves:
        But if Thy brother may sin against Thee, rebuke him;
        and if he should repent forgive him.
Luk 17:4 And if he may sin against Thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day shall turn back to Thee,
        saying, I repent; Thou shall forgive him.
Luk 17:5
        And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
Luk 17:6 And the Lord said,
        If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to this sycamine-tree,
        Be Thou plucked up by the root, and be Thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
Luk 17:7 {Parable of the Master and servant}.
        But which of you having a servant ploughing, or shepherding,
        shall say [to him] immediately, when he has come from the field,
        Go and sit down [to eat]?
Luk 17:8 And shall not rather say to him, Prepare that I may sup{eat},
        and gird thyself, and serve me, until I have eaten and drank; and after these Thou shall eat and shall drink?
Luk 17:9 Does he have thanks that servant, because he did the things that were commanded him? I suppose not.
Luk 17:10 So also ye, when ye may have done all the things which are commanded you,
        say, We are unprofitable servants: for we have done that which it was our duty to do.

Luk 17:11 {The thankful leper}.
        And it came to pass, as He went to Jerusalem,
        that he passed through the middle of Samaria and Galilee.
Luk 17:12 And as He entered into a certain village,
        He met ten men that were lepers,
        who stood afar off.
Luk 17:13 And they lifted up [their] voice, saying,
        Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
Luk 17:14 And He having seen [them], He said to them,
        Having gone, show yourselves to the priests.
        And it came to pass, that as they were going, they were cleansed.
Luk 17:15 And one of them, having seen that he was healed,
        returned, and with a great voice glorified God,
Luk 17:16 and fell down and face at His feet, giving Him thanks:
        and he was a Samaritan.
Luk 17:17 But Jesus answering, said,
        Were there not ten cleansed?
        But where [are] the nine?
Luk 17:18 There are not found returning to give glory to God, except this stranger.
Luk 17:19 And He said to him,
        Standing up, depart: Thy faith has made Thee whole.

Luk 17:20 {Question about the Kingdom of God}.
        And He having been asked by the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God comes,
        He answered them, and said,
        The Kingdom of God comes not with observation;
Luk 17:21 neither shall they say, Behold here! Or Behold there! For behold, the Kingdom of God is among you.
Luk 17:22 And He said to the disciples,
        The days shall come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not see.
Luk 17:23 And they shall say to you,
        Behold here! Or Behold there! Ye should not go after [them], nor should pursue them.
Luk 17:24 For as the lightning that lightens from the one [part] under Heaven, shines to the other [part] under Heaven;
        so shall also the Son of Man be in His Day.
Luk 17:25 But first He must suffer many [things], and to be rejected by this generation.
Luk 17:26
        And as it came to pass in the days of Noah,
        so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
Luk 17:27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,
        until the day that Noah: entered into the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it came to pass in the days of Lot:
        they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
Luk 17:29 but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven, and destroyed [them] all:
Luk 17:30 for so shall it be in the Day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Luk 17:31 In that Day, he who shall be upon the roof, and his furniture in the house,
        let him not come down to take it away: and he who [is] in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Luk 17:32 Remember the wife of Lot.
Luk 17:33 Whoever may seek to save his soul, shall lose it;
          and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one couch; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:35 Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:36 Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:37 And they answering, say to Him,
        Where Lord? But He said to them, Wherever the body [is], there shall the eagles be gathered.

Luk 18:1 {Parable of the importunate widow}.
        And He spoke a parable to them [to teach] that it is always ought to pray, and not to weary;
Luk 18:2 saying, There was in a city a judge, who fearing not God, neither regarding man.
Luk 18:3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him,
        saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
Luk 18:4 And he would not for a while: and after these he said within himself,
        Though I fear not GOD, nor I am regarded man;
Luk 18:5 yet because this widow troubles me, I shall avenge her,
        lest by her continual coming she weary me.
Luk 18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
Luk 18:7 But God; shall He not do the avenging of His own,
        who cries day and night to Him, and yet being patient towards them?
Luk 18:8 I tell you that He shall do the avenging on them quickly.
        Nevertheless when the Son of Man coming, then shall He find the faith on the Earth?
Luk 18:9 {Parable of the Pharisee and the publican}.
        And He spoke also this parable to some who have been trusting in themselves that they are righteous, and despised others:
Luk 18:10 two men went up into the Temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Luk 18:11 The Pharisee having stood, prayed thus by himself,
        God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I procure.
Luk 18:13 And the publican, having stood afar off, would not lift up so much as the eyes to Heaven,
        but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me the sinner.
Luk 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other.
         For every one that exalting himself shall be humbled;
         but he who humbling himself shall be exalted.

Luk 18:15 {Children of the Kingdom}.
        And they brought to Him also the infants, that He might touch them:
        but the disciples having seen [it], they rebuked them.
Luk 18:16 But Jesus called them, and said,
        Allow the children to come to Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God.
Luk 18:17 Amen I say to you, Whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God, as a child, may not enter into it!
Luk 18:18 {The rich man}.
        And a certain ruler asked Him, saying,
        Good Master, what [must] I doing [that] I may inherit everlasting life?
Luk 18:19 But Jesus said to him, Why call Thou Me good?
          None [is] good, except One, [that is] God.
Luk 18:20 Thou have known the Commandments,
          Thou should not commit adultery, Thou should not murder, Thou should not steal,
          Thou should not bear false witness, Honour Thy father and Thy mother. [Exo 20:3-17 Deu 5:7-21]
Luk 18:21 But He said, All these have I kept from My youth.
Luk 18:22 Now when Jesus having heard these [things], He said to him,
        Yet lack Thou one thing: sell all that Thou have, and distribute to the poor,
        and Thou shall have treasure in Heavens: and come here, follow Me.
Luk 18:23 And he having heard this, he became very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
Luk 18:24 But Jesus having seen that he having become very sorrowful, He said,
        How hardly shall they that having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
Luk 18:25 For 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!
Luk 18:26 And they that having heard [it], said,
          And who is able to be saved?
Luk 18:27 But He said,
        The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.
Luk 18:28 But Peter said,
        Behold, we have left all, and followed Thee.
Luk 18:29 But He said to them,
        Amen I say to you, There is no one that has left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
Luk 18:30 who may not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the Age{World} to come everlasting life!

Luk 18:31 {Third prediction of the Resurrection}.
        Then He took the twelve, and said to them,
        Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all [things] that are written,
        by the Prophets concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished.
Luk 18:32 For He shall be delivered to the gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shall be insulted, and shall be spit upon;
Luk 18:33 and they having scourged Him, and shall kill Him: and the third day He shall rise up;
Luk 18:34 and they understood none of these [things]: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which being spoken.

Luk 18:35 {Son of David, have mercy}.
        And it came to pass, that as He drawing near to Jericho,
        a certain blind man sat by the way begging;
Luk 18:36 but [when] having heard a multitude passing by, He inquired what it might be.
Luk 18:37 And they told him, that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.
Luk 18:38 And he cried, saying,
        Jesus, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me!
Luk 18:39 And they who went before rebuked him, that He should be silent:
        but He cried so much more,
        [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me!
Luk 18:40 But Jesus having stood and commanded him to be brought to Him:
          and he having drawn near, He asked him,
Luk 18:41 saying,
        What will Thou that I might do to Thee? But he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
Luk 18:42 And Jesus said to him,
        Receive Thy sight: Thy faith has made Thee whole.
Luk 18:43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God:
        and all the people, having seen [it], gave praise to God.

Luk 19:1 {Zacchaeus repented}.
        And He having entered and passed through Jericho.
Luk 19:2 And behold, a man being called Zacchaeus, and he was the chief among the publicans, and this [man] was rich.
Luk 19:3 And he sought to see Jesus who He was; and could not for the multitude, because he was little of stature.
Luk 19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore-tree that he might see Him; for He was about to pass that [way].
Luk 19:5 And when Jesus came to the place, He having looked up, and saw him, and said to him,
        Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down: for today I must abide at Thy house.
Luk 19:6 And he having hastened, and came down, and received Him, rejoicing.
Luk 19:7 And they having seen [it], they all murmured,
        saying, that He was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Luk 19:8 And Zacchaeus having stood, and said to the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor;
        and if I accused anyone falsely of anything, I restore [him] four-fold.
Luk 19:9 But Jesus said to him,
        Today is Salvation came to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
Luk 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which having been lost.

Luk 19:11 {Parable of the minas}.
        And as they heard these [things], He added and spoke a parable, because He be near to Jerusalem,
        and because they thought that the Kingdom of God would immediately appear.
Luk 19:12
        He said therefore, a certain Nobleman went into a far country to receive for Himself a Kingdom, and to return.
Luk 19:13 And He called His ten servants, and gave them ten minas, and said to them, Do business until I come.
Luk 19:14 But His citizens hated Him, and sent an embassy after Him,
        saying, We will not have this [Man] to reign over us.
Luk 19:15
        And it came to pass, that He returned, having received the Kingdom,
        and He said these servants to be called to Him,
        to whom He gave the money, that He might know how much everyone gained by trading.
Luk 19:16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, Thy mina has gained ten minas.
Luk 19:17 And He said to him,
        Well [done], good servant: because Thou became faithful in the least, Thou be having authority over ten cities.
Luk 19:18 And the second came, saying,
        Lord, Thy mina has gained five minas.
Luk 19:19 And He said also to him, and be Thou over five cities.
Luk 19:20 And another came, saying,
        Lord, behold, [here is] Thy mina, which I held, laid up in a handkerchief:
Luk 19:21 for I feared Thee, because Thou are an austere Man:
        Thou take up what Thou did not lay down, and reap what Thou did not sow.
Luk 19:22 And He says to him,
        Out of Thy own mouth shall i judge Thee, [Thou] wicked servant. Thou had known Me to be an austere Man,
        taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
Luk 19:23 and why then gave Thou not my money into the bank,
          that at My coming I might have required it with interest?
Luk 19:24 And He said to them that stood by, Take from him the mina, and give [it] to him that having ten minas;
Luk 19:25 and they said to Him, Lord, he has ten minas.
Luk 19:26 For I say to you, that to every one that having shall be given; and from him that having not, even what he has shall be taken away from him!
Luk 19:27 But those My enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay [them] before Me.
Luk 19:28 And He having said these, He went before, ascending to Jerusalem.

Luk 19:29 {Triumphal entry into Jerusalem}.
        And it came to pass, when He drew near to Beth-phage and Beth-any, at the Mount being called [the Mount] of Olives,
        He sent two of His disciples,
Luk 19:30 saying, Go ye into the village opposed to [you]; in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied,
        on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him [here].
Luk 19:31 And if anyone may ask you,
        Why do ye loose him?
        Thus shall ye say to him,
        Because the Lord has need of him.
Luk 19:32 And they having departed, those who were sent found as He said to them.
Luk 19:33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them,
        Why loose ye the colt?
Luk 19:34 And they said,
        The Lord has need of him.
Luk 19:35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt,
        and they set Jesus upon him.
Luk 19:36 And as He went, they spread their garments in the way.
Luk 19:37 And as He is drawing near now, at the descent of the Mount of the Olives,
        the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoicing and praise God with a great voice,
        for all the miracles that they saw;
Luk 19:38 saying, Blessed [be] the King who coming in the name of the LORD! Peace in Heaven, and glory in the highest! [Psa 118:26]
Luk 19:39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to Him,
        Master, rebuke Thy disciples.
Luk 19:40 And He answering, said to them,
        I tell you, that if these should be silent, the stones shall cry out.
Luk 19:41 And when He drew near, He seeing the city, and wept over her,
Luk 19:42 saying, If Thou knew, even Thou, at least in this Thy day, the things [which belong] to Thy peace! But now they are hid from Thy eyes.
Luk 19:43 For the days shall come upon Thee, that Thy enemies shall cast a rampart about Thee, and shall surround Thee, and shall keep Thee in on every side,
Luk 19:44 and shall lay Thee even with the ground, and Thy children within Thee:
        and they shall not leave in Thee a stone upon a stone: because Thou knew not the time of Thy visitation.
Luk 19:45 {Cleansing of the Temple}.
        And He went into the Temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought,
Luk 19:46 saying to them, It has been written,
        My House is a House of prayer, but ye made it a den of robbers. [Isa 56:7 Jer 7:11]
Luk 19:47 And He was teaching daily in the Temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy Him,
Luk 19:48 and could not find what they might do: for all the people hung upon Him, listening.

Luk 20:1 {Authority of Jesus questioned}.
        And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as He was teaching the people in the Temple,
        and preaching the Gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon Him, with the elders,
Luk 20:2 and spoke to Him, saying,
        Tell us, By what authority do Thou these [things]?
        Or who is He who giving Thee this authority?
Luk 20:3 But He answering, said to them,
        I also shall ask you one thing; and answer Me.
Luk 20:4 The baptism of John, was it from Heaven, or from men?
Luk 20:5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying,
        If we should say, From Heaven; He shall say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Luk 20:6 But if we should say, From men; all the people shall stone us: for they are persuaded that John be a prophet.
Luk 20:7 And they answered,
        that they did not to know whence.
Luk 20:8 And Jesus said to them,
        Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these [things].
Luk 20:9 {Parable of the wicked husbandmen}.
        Then He began to speak to the people this parable;
        A certain Man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen,
        and went into a far country for a long time.
Luk 20:10 And at the season He sent a servant to the husbandmen,
        that they might give him of the fruit of the vineyard:
        but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
Luk 20:11 And He added to sent another servant: and they also beat him,
        and treated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
Luk 20:12 And He added to sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out.
Luk 20:13 Then said the Lord of the vineyard,
        What should I do? I shall send My beloved Son:
        perhaps by having seen Him, they shall be reverenced [Him].
Luk 20:14 But the husbandmen having seen Him, they reasoned among themselves, saying,
        This is the heir; come, let us kill Him, that the inheritance may be ours.
Luk 20:15 And they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [Him].
        What then shall the Lord of the vineyard do to them?
Luk 20:16 He shall come and shall destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others.
         But [when] they having heard, they said, Let it not be.
Luk 20:17 And He beheld them, and said, What then is this that has been written,
        [The] stone which the builders rejected,
        for this has become [the] head of [the] corner? [Psa 118:22]
Luk 20:18 Whoever that falling upon that stone, shall be crushed:
         but on whomsoever it may fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Luk 20:19 And the chief priests and the scribes in that hour sought to lay hands on Him;
        and they feared the people: for they knew that He spoke this parable against them.

Luk 20:20 {Tribute to Caesar}.
        And they watched Him, and sent forth spies, feigning themselves to be righteous,
        that they might take hold of His words,
        that so they might deliver Him to the power and authority of the governor.
Luk 20:21 And they asked Him, saying,
        Master, we have known that Thou say and teach rightly,
        neither accept Thou the face [of men], but teach in truth the way of God.
Luk 20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Luk 20:23 But He perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
        Why tempt ye Me?
Luk 20:24 Show Me a denarius.
        Whose image and superscription has it?
        They answering, said, Caesar's.
Luk 20:25 But He said to them,
        Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar's,
        and to God the things which are God's.
Luk 20:26 And they could not take hold of His sayings before the people:
        and they marvelled at His answer, they were silent.

Luk 20:27 {Question about the resurrection}.
        Then having come to Him some of the Sadducees, who say there be no resurrection;
         and they asked Him,
Luk 20:28 saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If anyone's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die childless,
        that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. [Deu 25:5]
Luk 20:29 There were therefore seven brothers:
        and the first having taken a wife, and died childless.
Luk 20:30 And the second took the wife, and he died childless.
Luk 20:31 And the third took her; and likewise also the seven:
         and they left no children, and died.
Luk 20:32 And last of all the woman also died.
Luk 20:33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she?
        For seven had her [as] wife.
Luk 20:34 And Jesus answering, said to them,
        The sons of this Age{World} marry, and are given in marriage:
Luk 20:35 but they who were be counted worthy to obtain that Age{World}, and the resurrection from the dead,
        neither marry, nor are given in marriage;
Luk 20:36 neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the Angels;
        and are the sons of GOD, being the sons of the resurrection.
Luk 20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush,
        when he calls the LORD the God of Abraham,
        and the God of Isaac,
        and the God of Jacob. [Exo 3:6]
Luk 20:38 For He is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to Him.
Luk 20:39 Then some of the scribes answering, said,
        Master, Thou have well said.
Luk 20:40 And after that, they not dared to ask Him any more [questions].

Luk 20:41 {Son of David?}.
        And He said to them,
        How say they that the Christ{Messiah} be [the] son of David?
Luk 20:42 And David himself says in the Book of Psalms,
        The LORD said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right [hand], [Psa 110:1]
Luk 20:43 until I make Thy enemies Thy stool of Thy feet. [Psa 110:1]
Luk 20:44 David therefore calls Him Lord, so how is He his Son? [Psa 110:1]

Luk 20:45 {Woes of the Pharisees}.
        Then all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
Luk 20:46 Beware of the scribes, who desiring to go in long robes, and love greetings in the markets,
        and the chief seat in the synagogues, and the best seat at suppers.
Luk 20:47 Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive more abundant judgment.

Luk 21:1 {The poor widow}.
        And He having looked up, and saw rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
Luk 21:2 And He saw also a certain poor widow, casting in there two lepta.
Luk 21:3 And He said, Truly I say to you,
        that this poor widow has cast in more than they all!
Luk 21:4 For all these have of their abundance cast in to the gifs of God:
         but she of her poverty has cast in all the living that she had.

Luk 21:5 {End of the Temple, Times of the gentiles and the second coming}.
         And some saying about the Temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones, and gifts, He said,
Luk 21:6 [as for] these [things] which ye behold, the days shall come,
        in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down.
Luk 21:7 And they asked Him, saying,
        Master, then when shall these [things] be? And what sign [should there be] when these [things] should come to pass?
Luk 21:8 But He said, Take heed that ye be not deceived;
         for many shall come in My name, saying, I AM; [Mat 24:5]
        and the time has drawn near: therefore go ye not after them.
Luk 21:9 But when ye may hear of wars, and unrests, may be not terrified:
         for these [things] must first come to pass: but the end [is] not immediately.
Luk 21:10
        Then said He to them,
        Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Luk 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in [diverse] places,
        and famines, and pestilences: both fearful sights and great signs shall be there from Heaven.
Luk 21:12 But before all these they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute [you],
        delivering [you] up to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for My name's sake.
Luk 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Luk 21:14 Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand to reply as defence.
Luk 21:15 For I shall give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to refute nor resist.
Luk 21:16 But ye shall deliver up even by parents, and brethren, and relatives, and friends;
        and they shall put to death [some] of you.
Luk 21:17 And ye shall be being hated by all for My name's sake.
Luk 21:18 But there shall not a hair of your head may perish.
Luk 21:19 In your patience procure ye your souls.
Luk 21:20
        But when ye may see <Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has drawn near>.
Luk 21:21 Then let them who are in Judea <flee> to the mountains; and let them who are in the middle of her depart;
        and let not them that are in the countries enter into her.
Luk 21:22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all [things] which are written be fulfilled.
Luk 21:23 But woe to them that are pregnant, and to them that nurse infants in those days!
        For there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon this people.
Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations:
        and Jerusalem shall be being trodden down by the gentiles,
        until the <Times of the gentiles> should be fulfilled.
Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the Earth distress of nations,
        with perplexity; sea and billow roaring;
Luk 21:26 men fainting from fear, and expectation of those things which are coming on the World:
        for the powers of Heavens shall be shaken.
Luk 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory. [Dan 7:13]
Luk 21:28 And these things beginning to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads: because your redemption draws near.
Luk 21:29 {Parable of the budding fig-tree}.
        And He spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig-tree, and all the trees;
Luk 21:30 when they now shoot forth, ye see and know of yourselves that summer is already near.
Luk 21:31 So also ye, when ye see these [things] come to pass, know that the Kingdom of God is near.
Luk 21:32 Amen I say to you, This generation should not pass away, until all should come to pass!
Luk 21:33
         The Heaven and the Earth shall pass away, but My words should not pass away.
Luk 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness,
        and cares of ordinary life, and [so] that day come suddenly upon you.
Luk 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell upon the face of all the Earth.
Luk 21:36 <Watch ye therefore in every time, praying that ye may be counted worthy to escape> all these [things] that are coming to pass,
        and to stand before the Son of Man.
Luk 21:37
        And in the days He was teaching in the Temple.
        And at night He went out, and abode in the Mount that being called [the Mount] of Olives.
Luk 21:38 And all the people came early in the morning to Him in the Temple, to hear Him.

Luk 22:1 {Blood money for Judas}.
        Now the Festival of Unleavened [Bread] drew near, which being called the Passover.
Luk 22:2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him:
        for they feared the people.
Luk 22:3 Then Satan entered into Judas being surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Luk 22:4 And he went, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.
Luk 22:5 And they rejoiced, and agreed to give him money.
Luk 22:6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.
Luk 22:7 {Last Supper}.
        Then came the day of Unleavened [Bread], in which the Passover must be sacrificed. [Exo 12:5-6 1Co 5:7]
Luk 22:8 And He sent Peter and John, saying,
        Having gone and prepare for us the Passover, that we may eat.
Luk 22:9 And they said to Him,
        Where will Thou that we prepare?
Luk 22:10 But He said to them,
        Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water;
        follow him into the house where he enters.
Luk 22:11 And ye shall say to the housemaster,
        The Master says to Thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?
Luk 22:12 And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: prepare [it] there.
Luk 22:13 And they went and found as He has said to them: and they prepared the Passover.
Luk 22:14
        And when the hour came, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him.
Luk 22:15 And He said to them, With desire I desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
Luk 22:16 For I say to you, I shall not any more eat of it until it should be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God!
Luk 22:17 And He took the cup, and He having given thanks, and said, Take this, and divide [it] among yourselves.
Luk 22:18 For I say to you, I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God should come!
Luk 22:19 And He having taken bread,
         and having given thanks, and broke [it], and gave to them, saying,
        This is My body which being given for you: this do in remembrance of Me.
Luk 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying,
        This cup [is] the New Covenant in My blood, which being shed for you.
Luk 22:21
        Nevertheless behold, the hand of him that betraying Me [is] with Me on the table.
Luk 22:22 And truly the Son of Man goes as it was determined: but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!
Luk 22:23 And they began to discuss among themselves, who then it may be of them, him being about to do this thing?
Luk 22:24 And there came also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
Luk 22:25 But He said to them,
        The kings of the gentiles exercise lordship over them;
        and they that exercise authority upon them, are called benefactors.
Luk 22:26 But ye [shall] not [be] so:
          but the greater among you, let him be as the younger;
          and the leading, as he who serving.
Luk 22:27 For which [is] greater, he who reclining [at table], or he who serves?
        [Is] not he who reclining [at table]? But I AM among you as he who serves.
Luk 22:28 Ye are they who have continued with Me in My trials.
Luk 22:29 And I appoint to you a Kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me;
Luk 22:30 that ye may eat and may drink at My table in My Kingdom,
        and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Luk 22:31 {Gethsemane}.
        And the Lord said,
        Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded you, that he to sift [you] as wheat:
Luk 22:32 but I prayed for Thee, that Thy faith may not fail; and when Thou having converted, strengthen Thy brethren.
Luk 22:33 But he said to Him,
        Lord, I am ready to go with Thee both into prison, and to death.
Luk 22:34 But He said,
        I tell Thee, Peter, no cock shall crow today, before Thou shall thrice deny that Thou to know Me.
Luk 22:35
        And He said to them,
        When I sent you without purse, and sack, and shoes, lacked ye anything?
        And they said, Nothing.
Luk 22:36 Then said He to them,
        But now he who having a purse, let him take [it],
        and likewise he who having no sack: let him sell his garment, and buy a sword.
Luk 22:37 For I say to you, that this which has been written must yet be accomplished in Me,
        And He was counted with transgressors: [Isa 53:12]
        for the things concerning Me has an end!
Luk 22:38 And they said,
        Lord, behold, here [are] two swords.
        But He said to them, It is enough.
Luk 22:39
        And He came out, and went, as His custom was, to the Mount of Olives;
        and His disciples also followed Him.
Luk 22:40 And He having come at the place, He said to them,
        Pray, that ye enter not into temptation.
Luk 22:41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed;
Luk 22:42 saying, Father, if Thou are willing to take away this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thy be done.
Luk 22:43 And there appeared to Him an Angel from Heaven, strengthening Him.
Luk 22:44 And being in an agony, [and] more earnestly He prayed:
        and His sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling on the ground.
Luk 22:45 {Arrest of Jesus}.
        And He standing up from the prayer, having come to the disciples,
        He found them sleeping from sorrow:
Luk 22:46 and said to them,
        Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye may enter into temptation.
Luk 22:47 And while He was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he who being called Judas, one of the twelve,
        went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.
Luk 22:48 But Jesus said to him,
        Judas, betray Thou the Son of Man with a kiss?
Luk 22:49 When they who were about Him, having seen what shall be happening, they said to Him,
        Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
Luk 22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the High Priest, and cut off his right ear.
Luk 22:51 But Jesus answering, said,
        Allow ye thus far. And He touched his ear, and healed him.
Luk 22:52 But Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the Temple, and the elders who having come to Him,
          Have ye come out as against a robber, with swords and sticks?
Luk 22:53 When I being daily with you in the Temple, ye stretched forth no hands against Me:
        but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
Luk 22:54 {Peter's denial}.
        Then they took Him, and led Him, and brought Him into the High Priest's house.
        But Peter followed afar off.
Luk 22:55 Now they having kindled a fire in the middle of the hall,
        and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
Luk 22:56 But a certain maid-servant having seen him as he sat by the light,
        and staring upon him, and said,
        This one was also with Him.
Luk 22:57 And he denied Him, saying,
        Woman, I have not known Him.
Luk 22:58 And after a little while another seeing him, and said,
        Thou are also of them. But Peter said,
        Man, I am not.
Luk 22:59 And having intervened about one hour, another insisted, saying,
        In truth this [man] also was with Him; for he is a Galilean.
Luk 22:60 And Peter said,
        Man, I have not known what Thou say. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crowed.
Luk 22:61 And the Lord having turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the LORD,
        how He said to him,
        Before a cock to crow, Thou shall deny Me thrice!
Luk 22:62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
Luk 22:63 {By Caiaphas}.
        And the men that held Jesus, mocked and beating Him.
Luk 22:64 And they having blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face, and asked Him,
        saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote Thee?
Luk 22:65 And many other things blasphemously they spoke against Him.
Luk 22:66
        And as it became day, the elderhood of the people,
        both the chief priests and the scribes came together,
        and they brought Him into their council,
        
Luk 22:67 saying, If Thou are the Christ{Messiah}, tell us.
        But He said to them,
        If I should tell you, ye may not believe.
Luk 22:68 But if I also should ask [you], ye not answer Me, nor let Me go.
Luk 22:69 From hereafter, there shall be the Son of Man sitting upon [the] right [hand] of the power of God.
Luk 22:70 Then said they all, Are Thou then the Son of God?
        And He said to them, Ye say that I AM.
Luk 22:71 And they said,
        What need have we of any further testimony?
        For we ourselves have heard from His own mouth.
Luk 23:1 {By Pilate}.
        And the whole multitude of them arose, and led Him to Pilate.
Luk 23:2 And they began to accuse Him, saying,
        We found this [man] perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar,
        saying, that He Himself be Christ{Messiah} a King.
Luk 23:3 But Pilate asked him, saying,
        Are Thou the King of the Jews?
        But He answering him, said, Thou say.
Luk 23:4 But Pilate said to the chief priests, and the multitudes, I find no fault in this Man.
Luk 23:5
        And they were the more fierce, saying,
        He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to here.
Luk 23:6 When Pilate having heard of Galilee, he asked if the man is a Galilean.
Luk 23:7 And knowing that He is from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him back to Herod,
        he being also at Jerusalem at those days.
Luk 23:8 And Herod having seen Jesus, he rejoiced greatly: for he was wishing a long while since to see Him,
        because he hearing many [things] of Him; and he hoped to see some sign done by Him.
Luk 23:9 Then he questioned with Him in many words; but He answered him nothing.
Luk 23:10 And the chief priests and scribes had stood and intensely accused Him.
Luk 23:11
        And Herod with his troops despised and mocked Him,
        and arrayed Him in splendid clothing, and sent Him back to Pilate.
Luk 23:12 But both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another;
        for before they being at enmity between themselves.
Luk 23:13 And Pilate, having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
Luk 23:14 said to them,
        Ye brought this man to me, as one that perverts the people:
        and behold, I, having examined [Him] before you, have found no fault in this man,
        touching those things of which ye accuse Him.
Luk 23:15 {Barabbas and Crucifixion of Jesus}.
        But neither [did] Herod: for I sent you back to him; and behold, nothing worthy of death is having been done by Him:
Luk 23:16 therefore having chastise Him, I shall release [Him].
Luk 23:17 (For of necessity he must release one to them at the Festival).
Luk 23:18 And they cried out altogether, saying,
        Away with this [man], and release to us Barabbas:
Luk 23:19 (who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison).
Luk 23:20 Pilate therefore, spoke again to [them], willing to release Jesus.
Luk 23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify, crucify Him!
Luk 23:22 And He said to them the third time,
         For what evil has He done? I have found no cause of death in Him;
        therefore having chastise Him, I shall release [Him].
Luk 23:23 And they were urgent with great voices, requiring that He to be crucified:
        and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed.
Luk 23:24 But Pilate gave sentence that it should be as their requests.
Luk 23:25 And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison,
        whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Luk 23:26
        And as they led Him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian,
        coming from a field, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear [it] behind Jesus.
Luk 23:27 And there followed Him a great multitude of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented Him.
Luk 23:28 But Jesus having turned to them, said,
        Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Luk 23:29 For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say,
        Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bore,
        and the breasts which never nourished infants!
Luk 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us;
        and to the hills, Cover us{reverse}. [Hos 10:8]
Luk 23:31 For if they do these [things] in the sappy tree, what may be done in the dry?
Luk 23:32
        And two others, both malefactors, were led with Him to be put to death.
Luk 23:33 And when they came to the place which being called skull{Calvary, Golgotha},
        there they crucified Him, and the malefactors;
        one on the right, and the other on the left.
Luk 23:34 But Jesus said,
        Father, forgive them: for they have not known what they do.
        And they divided His garments, and cast a lot. [Psa 22:18]
Luk 23:35 And the people had stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided Him,
        saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ{Messiah} the elect of God.
Luk 23:36 And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, and offering him vinegar,
Luk 23:37 and saying, If Thou are the King of the Jews, save Thyself.
Luk 23:38 And a superscription also was written over Him,
        in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, this is the King of the Jews.
Luk 23:39 And one of the malefactors, who were hanged, blasphemed on Him,
        saying, If Thou are the Christ{Messiah}, save Thyself and us.
Luk 23:40 But the other answering, rebuked him,
        saying, Do not Thou fear God, since Thou are in the same judgment?
Luk 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive [things] worthy of what we did: but this man has done nothing amiss.
Luk 23:42 And he said to Jesus,
        Lord, remember me when Thou should come in Thy Kingdom.
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said to him,
        Amen I say to Thee, today, Thou shall be with Me in the Garden{Paradise}!
Luk 23:44
        And it was about the sixth hour{noon}, and there came darkness over all the Earth until the ninth hour{circa 3 PM}.
Luk 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the Sanctuary was rent in the middle.
Luk 23:46 And Jesus having cried with a great voice, He said,
        Father, into Thy hands I shall commit my spirit: [Psa 31:5]
        and He having said these, He expired.
Luk 23:47 Now when the centurion having seen what having happened,
        He glorified God, saying, Indeed this was a righteous man.
Luk 23:48 And all the multitudes that came together to that sight, seeing the things which were done,
        smote their breasts, and returned.
Luk 23:49 And all His acquaintance had stood afar off,
         and the women that followed Him from Galilee, beholding these [things].
Luk 23:50 {Buried in the Tomb}.
        And behold, a man named Joseph,
        a counsellor: [and he] being a good man, and a just:
Luk 23:51 (the same was not consented to the counsel and deed of them) [he was] of Arimathaea,
        a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the Kingdom of God.
Luk 23:52 He having come to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Luk 23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a Tomb:
        that was hewn in stone, in which man was never before laid.
Luk 23:54 And [that] day was [the] preparation, and [the] Sabbath drew on.
Luk 23:55 And the women also, who came with Him were from Galilee,
        followed after, and beheld the Tomb, and how His body was laid.
Luk 23:56 {Resurrection of Jesus}.
        And they having returned, [and] prepared spices and ointments;
        and indeed they rested on the Sabbath, according to the Commandment. [Exo 20:8-11 Deu 5:12-15 Lev 23:3-7]
Luk 24:1
        Now upon the First of the Weeks, by daybreak, they came to the Tomb,
        bringing the spices which they prepared, and some [others] with them. [Lev 23:15-16]
Luk 24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the Tomb.
Luk 24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
Luk 24:4
        And it came to pass, as they are perplexed about this, and behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.
Luk 24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces to the ground, they said to them,
        Why seek ye the living with the dead?
Luk 24:6 He is not here, but was raised. Be remembered how He spoke to you, being yet in Galilee,
Luk 24:7 saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise up.
Luk 24:8 And they remembered His sayings,
Luk 24:9 and having returned from the Tomb,
         and told all these [things] to the eleven, and to all the rest.
Luk 24:10 Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary: ([the mother] of James),
        and the rest with them, who said these [things] to the apostles.
Luk 24:11 And their sayings seemed to them as idle tales, and they disbelieved them.
Luk 24:12 But Peter rising up, and ran to the Tomb,
         and stooping down, he sees the linen clothes lying alone, and departed,
         marvelling in himself at that which has coming to pass.
Luk 24:13 {The road to Emmaus}.
        And behold, two of them were going on that day to a village named Emmaus,
        being sixty stadia [away] from Jerusalem.
Luk 24:14 And they conversed with one another of all [things] which happened.
Luk 24:15 And it came to pass, while they to converse and to discuss,
        Jesus Himself drew near, and went with them.
Luk 24:16 But their eyes were held, that they should not recognize Him.
Luk 24:17 And He said to them,
        What [are] these words that ye exchange with one another, as ye walking, and are sad?
Luk 24:18 But one [of them], whose name [was] Cleopas, answering, said to Him,
        Are Thou only a stranger in Jerusalem,
        and have not known the things which have come to pass there in these days?
Luk 24:19 And He said to them, What things?
        And they said to Him, Concerning Jesus the Nazarene,
        who became a Prophet mighty in work and word before God, and all the people:
Luk 24:20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to a judgment of death, and crucified Him.
Luk 24:21 But we hoped that it is He who being to redeem Israel:
        and yet with all this, today passes the third day since these [things] came.
Luk 24:22 But also some of our women astounded us, who were early at the Tomb.
Luk 24:23 And they having found not His body, they came, saying,
        that they had also seen a vision of Angels, who says that He was alive.
Luk 24:24 And some of them who were with us, went to the Tomb,
        and found [it] even so as the women said: but Him they saw not.
Luk 24:25 And He said to them,
        O fools, and slow of heart to believe on all that the prophets have spoken!
Luk 24:26 Ought not the Christ{Messiah} to suffer these [things], and to enter into His glory?
Luk 24:27 And beginning at Moses, and all the prophets,
        He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
Luk 24:28 And they drew near to the village where they were going: and He made as though He would go further.
Luk 24:29 But they constrained Him, saying,
        Abide with us: for it is towards evening, and the day has declined. And He went in to abide with them.
Luk 24:30 {Breaking the bread}.
        And it came to pass, as He sat at table with them, He having taken bread,
        and blessed, and having broken [it], and gave to them.
Luk 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognize Him:
        and He became disappeared from them.
Luk 24:32 And they said one to another,
        Was not our heart burning in us as He spoke to us by the way,
        and while He opened to us the Scriptures?
Luk 24:33 And they rose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem,
        and found the eleven assembled, and them that were with them,
Luk 24:34 saying, The Lord was raised indeed, and has appeared to Simon.
Luk 24:35 And they declaring what things [were done] in the way,
        and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.
Luk 24:36 {Thomas doubts}.
        And as they were thus speaking, Jesus Himself stood in the middle of them,
        and says to them, Peace [be] to you.
Luk 24:37 But they were terrified and being affrighted, they presumed to see a spirit.
Luk 24:38 And He said to them,
        Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Luk 24:39 Behold My hands and My feet, that I AM He. Touch Me,
        and see; <for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as ye see Me having>.
Luk 24:40 And He having said this, He showed them the hands and the feet.
Luk 24:41 And while they yet disbelieving for joy, and marvelling,
        He said to them,
        Have ye here anything for food?
Luk 24:42 And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honey-comb.
Luk 24:43 And He having taken [it], and ate before them.

Luk 24:44 {The Great Commission}.
        But He said to them,
        These [are] the words which I spoke to you, while I being yet with you, that all [things] must be fulfilled,
        which were written in the Law of Moses, and [in] the Prophets, and [in] the Psalms{Writings}, concerning Me.
Luk 24:45 Then He opened their mind, that they might understand the Scriptures,
Luk 24:46 and said to them, Thus it has been written, and thus it behoved the Christ{Messiah} to suffer, and to rise up from the dead the third day:
Luk 24:47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luk 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these [things].
Luk 24:49 And behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you: but set ye in the city Jerusalem,
        until ye may be clothed with power from on high.

Luk 24:50 {Ascension of Jesus}.
        And He led them out as far as to Beth-any:
        and He having lifted up His hands, and blessed them.
Luk 24:51 And it came to pass, while He to bless them,
        He parted from them, and carried up into Heaven.
Luk 24:52 And they having worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
Luk 24:53 and were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing God. Amen!

Joh 1:1 [Scroll 26 Gospel of John].
        {The Light in the World}.
        In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was to God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 This [Word] was in [the] beginning to God.
Joh 1:3 All things came through Him; and without Him came not one [thing] that has come [into being].
Joh 1:4 In Him was life; and the life was the Light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the Light shines in darkness; and the darkness did not overtake.
Joh 1:6
        There came a man having been sent from God, whose name [was] John.
Joh 1:7 This [man] came for a testimony, that he might testify about the Light,
        that all might believe through him.
Joh 1:8 That he was not the Light, but that he might testify about the Light.
Joh 1:9 [That] was the true Light, which lights every man, coming into the World.
Joh 1:10 He was in the World, and the World became through Him, and the World knew Him not.
Joh 1:11 He came to His own, and His own received Him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become the children of GOD,
        to them that believing into His name:
Joh 1:13 who were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us,
        (and we beheld His glory, [the] glory as of [the] only-begotten of [the] Father), full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:15 {The testimony of John the Baptist}.
        John testified concerning Him, and has cried, saying,
        This was He of whom I spoke, He who coming after me, has become before me; for He was before me.
Joh 1:16 And out of His fullness have we all received, and grace for grace.
Joh 1:17 For the Law was given through Moses, the grace and the truth came by Jesus Christ.
Joh 1:18 No one has ever seen God; the only-begotten Son, who being in the bosom of the Father, He has declared [Him].
Joh 1:19
        And this is the testimony of John,
        when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, that they might ask him,
        Who are Thou?
Joh 1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; and confessed,
        I am not the Christ{Messiah}.
Joh 1:21 And they asked him,
        What then? Are Thou Elijah?
        And he says, I am not.
        Are Thou the Prophet? [Deu 18:15]
        And he answered, No.
Joh 1:22 Then said they to him,
        Who are Thou? That we may give an answer to them who sent us.
        What say Thou of thyself?
Joh 1:23 He said, I [am] a voice crying in the wilderness,
        Make straight the way of the LORD,
        as said Isaiah the prophet. [Isa 40:3]
Joh 1:24 And they who were sent were of the Pharisees.
Joh 1:25 And they asked him, and said to him,
        Why then baptize Thou, if Thou are not the Christ{Messiah}, nor Elijah, neither the Prophet?
Joh 1:26 John answered them, saying,
        I baptize in water: but there has stood one among you, whom ye have not known;
Joh 1:27 He it is, who coming after me, has become before me,
         whom I am not worthy to unloose the thong of His shoes.
Joh 1:28 These [things] came in Bethabara{Beth-barah} beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. [Jdg 7:24]
Joh 1:29 {Lamb of God}.
        The next morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and says,
        Behold the <Lamb of God>, who taking away the sin of the World.
Joh 1:30 This is He of whom I said, after me comes a man who has become before me; for He was before me.
Joh 1:31 And I had not known Him: but that He might be made manifest to Israel,
        therefore I came baptizing in water.
Joh 1:32 And John testified, saying,
        I have seen the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and abode upon Him.
Joh 1:33 And I had not known Him: but He who having sent me to baptize in water,
        the same said to me, Upon whom Thou should see the Spirit descending and abiding upon Him,
        the same is He who baptizing in [the] Holy Spirit.
Joh 1:34 And I have seen and have borne testimony, that this is the Son of God.
Joh 1:35 Again the next morrow after, John had stood, and two of his disciples;
Joh 1:36 and looking upon <Jesus> as He walking, he says,
        Behold the <Lamb> of God!
Joh 1:37 {The first disciples}.
        And the two disciples heard Him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
Joh 1:38 But Jesus having turned, and saw them following,
        and says to them, What seek ye?
        And they said to Him, Rabbi (which is said, being translated, Master) where abide Thou?
Joh 1:39 He says to them, Come and see!
        They came and saw where He abides, and abode with Him that day:
        for it was about the tenth hour{Roman time}.
Joh 1:40 Andrew (the brother of Simon Peter):
         was one of the two who heard from John, and was following Him.
Joh 1:41 He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to Him,
        We have found the Messiah; which is being translated, the Christ.
Joh 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus having looked to him, He said,
        Thou are Simon the son of Jonah: Thou shall be called Cephas{Peter};
        which is translated, a stone.
Joh 1:43
        The next morrow Jesus would go forth into Galilee,
        and finds Philip, and says to him, Follow Me.
Joh 1:44 Now Philip was of Beth-saida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Joh 1:45 Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him,
        We have found Him described by Moses in the Law, and by the Prophets,
        Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Joh 1:46 And Nathanael said to him,
        Can there be any good thing come out of Nazareth?
        Philip says to him, Come and see!
Joh 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and says of him,
        Behold truly an Israelite, in whom is no guile!
Joh 1:48 Nathanael says to Him,
        Whence know Thou me?
        Jesus answered and said to him,
        Before Philip called Thee, when Thou being under the fig-tree, I saw Thee.
Joh 1:49 Nathanael answered and says to Him,
        Rabbi, Thou are the Son of God; Thou are the King of Israel.
Joh 1:50 Jesus answered and said to him,
        Because I said to Thee, I saw Thee under the fig-tree, do Thou believe?
        Thou shall see greater things than these.
Joh 1:51 And says to him,
        Amen, Amen I say to you, Hereafter ye shall see Heaven open, and the Angels of GOD ascending and descending upon the Son of Man!

Joh 2:1 {Miracle in Cana}.
        And the third day there came a marriage in Cana of Galilee;
        and the mother of Jesus was there.
Joh 2:2 And Jesus also was called, and His disciples, to the marriage.
Joh 2:3 And they having wanted wine, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine.
Joh 2:4 Jesus says to her,
        Woman, what have I to do with Thee? My hour is not yet come.
Joh 2:5 His mother says to the servants,
        Whatever He may say to you, do [it].
Joh 2:6 And there were set there six water pots of stone,
        after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, each containing two or three measures.
Joh 2:7 Jesus says to them,
        Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them to above.
Joh 2:8 And He says to them,
        Draw out now, and bear to the governor of the feast. And they bore [it].
Joh 2:9 When the ruler of the feast tasted the water that have become wine,
        and had not known whence it is; (but the servants who drew the water had known) the governor of the feast calls the Bridegroom,
Joh 2:10 and says to him,
        Every man first presents good wine; and when they may be drunken,
        then that which is worse: [but] Thou have kept the good wine until now.
Joh 2:11 This beginning of the signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed into Him.

Joh 2:12 {First cleansing of the Temple}.
        After this He went down to Capernaum,
        He, and His mother, and His brothers, and His disciples; and they abode there not many days.
Joh 2:13 And the Jews' Passover was near, and Jesus go up to Jerusalem,
Joh 2:14 and found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the changers of money, sitting:
Joh 2:15 and He having made a scourge of cords, He drove them all out of the Temple,
        and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the coins of the money-changers, and overthrew the tables;
Joh 2:16 and said to them that selling doves,
        Take these [things] hence: make not My Father's house a house of merchandise.
Joh 2:17 And His disciples remembered that it has been written,
        The zeal of Thy house devoured Me. [Psa 69:9]
Joh 2:18 Then answered the Jews, and said to Him,
        What sign show Thou to us, seeing that Thou do these [things]?
Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said to them,
        Ye dissolve this Sanctuary, and in three days I shall raise Him up.
Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, <Forty six years was this Sanctuary> in building, and shall Thou raise Him up in three days?
Joh 2:21 But He spoke of the Sanctuary of His body.
Joh 2:22 When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this to them:
        and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus said.
Joh 2:23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the Festival, many believed into His name,
        when they seeing His signs which He performed.
Joh 2:24 But Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all.
Joh 2:25 And because He had no need that any should testify concerning man: for He knew what was in man.

Joh 3:1 {Question about born again}.
        But there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus,
        (a ruler of the Jews).
Joh 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said to Him,
        Rabbi, we have known that Thou have become a teacher from God:
        for no one can do these signs that Thou do, except God be with him.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him,
        Amen, Amen I say to Thee, Except if any be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God!
Joh 3:4 Nicodemus says to Him,
        How can a man be born when he being old?
        Can he enter the second [time] into his mother's womb, and be born?
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered,
        Amen, Amen I say to Thee, Except if any be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God!
Joh 3:6 That which has been born of the flesh, is flesh;
        and that which has been born of the Spirit, is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Thou should not marvel that I said to Thee,
        Ye must be born again.
Joh 3:8 The spirit{wind} blows where it will, and Thou hear the sound of it,
        but Thou have not known whence it comes, and where it goes:
        so is every one that has been born of the Spirit.
Joh 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him,
        How can these [things] be?
Joh 3:10 Jesus answered and said to him,
        Are Thou the teacher of Israel, and know not these [things]?
Joh 3:11 Amen, Amen I say to Thee, We speak what we have known, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony!
Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you Heavenly things?
Joh 3:13
        And no one has ascended to Heaven,
        except He who having descended from Heaven,
        the Son of Man who being in Heaven.
Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
        even so must the Son of Man be lifted up:
Joh 3:15 that whoever believing into Him should not perish, but may have everlasting life.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the World, that He gave His <only-begotten> Son,
         that whoever believing into Him should not perish, but may have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not His Son into the World to condemn the World,
        but that the World through Him may be saved.
Joh 3:18 He who believing into Him, is not condemned:
        but he who believing not, has already been condemned,
        because he has not believed into the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that Light has come into the World,
        and men loved darkness rather than Light, for their works were evil.
Joh 3:20 For every one that doing evil hates the Light, neither comes to the Light,
        lest may his works should be reproved.
Joh 3:21 But he who doing the truth, comes to the Light,
        that his works may be made manifest,
        that they are wrought in God.

Joh 3:22 {The voice of the Bridegroom}. [Rev 18:23]
        After these came Jesus and His disciples into the land of Judea;
        and there He tarried with them, and baptized.
Joh 3:23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim,
        because there was much waters there: and they came, and were being baptized.
Joh 3:24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
Joh 3:25 Then there came a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews, about purifying.
Joh 3:26 And they came to John, and said to him,
        Rabbi, He who was with Thee beyond the Jordan, to whom Thou have borne testimony,
        behold, the same baptizes, and all come to Him.
Joh 3:27 John answered and said,
        A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from Heaven.
Joh 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me testimony,
        that I said, I am not the Christ{Messiah}, but that I am having been sent before Him.
Joh 3:29 He who having the bride, is the Bridegroom:
         but the friend of the Bridegroom, who stands and hears Him,
        rejoices with joy, because the voice of the Bridegroom:
        this My joy therefore has been fulfilled.
Joh 3:30 He must increase, but me to be decreased.
Joh 3:31 He who coming from above is above all.
         He who being of the Earth is earthly, and speaks of the Earth.
         He who coming from Heaven is above all.
Joh 3:32 And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.
Joh 3:33 He who having received His testimony, sealed that God is true.
Joh 3:34 For He whom God sent, speaks the sayings of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure.
Joh 3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all [things] in His hand.
Joh 3:36 He who believing into the Son, has everlasting life: and he who disobeying{not believing} the Son,
        shall not see life; but the wrath of God remains on him.
Joh 4:1
        When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and baptizes more disciples than John,
Joh 4:2 (although Jesus Himself baptized not, but His disciples).

Joh 4:3 {Samaritan woman at the well}.
        He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
Joh 4:4 And it was needful for Him to go through Samaria.
Joh 4:5 Then He comes to a city of Samaria, being called Sychar,
        near to the parcel of ground, that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Joh 4:6 Now there was [the] well of Jacob;
        Jesus therefore having toiled from the journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the sixth hour{noon}.
Joh 4:7 There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water:
        Jesus says to her,
        Give Me to drink;
Joh 4:8 (for His disciples had gone to the city that they might buy provisions).
Joh 4:9 Then says the woman of Samaria to Him,
        How is it that Thou, being a Jew, ask drink of me, who being a woman of Samaria?
        For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Joh 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her,
        If Thou had known the gift of GOD, and who it is saying to Thee, Give Me to drink;
        Thou would have asked Him, and He would have given Thee Living Water.
Joh 4:11 The woman says to Him,
        Lord, Thou have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then have Thou the Living Water?
Joh 4:12 Are Thou greater than our father Jacob,
        who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
Joh 4:13 Jesus answered and said to her,
        Whoever drinking of this water, shall thirst again:
Joh 4:14 but whoever may drink of the Water that I shall give him, should have never thirst;
         but the Water that I shall give him, shall be in him a Fountain of Water springing up into everlasting life.
Joh 4:15 The woman says to Him,
        Lord, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither may come here to draw.
Joh 4:16 Jesus says to her,
        Go, call Thy husband, and come here.
Joh 4:17 The woman answered and said,
        I have no husband.
        Jesus says to her, Thou have well said, I have no husband:
Joh 4:18 for Thou have had five husbands, and he whom Thou now have, is not Thy husband: in that Thou have true spoken.
Joh 4:19 The woman says to Him,
        Lord, I perceive that Thou are a prophet.
Joh 4:20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain{Gerizim}; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Joh 4:21 Jesus says to her,
        Woman, believe me, that [the] hour comes, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, shall worship the Father.
Joh 4:22 Ye worship what ye have not known: we have known what we worship, for Salvation is from the Jews.
Joh 4:23 But [the] hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:
        for the Father seeks such who worshipping Him.
Joh 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worshipping Him, must worship [Him] in spirit and in truth.
Joh 4:25 The woman says to Him,
        I have known that Messiah comes, who being called Christ; when He should come, He shall tell us all [things].
Joh 4:26 Jesus says to her,
        I AM is that speak to Thee.
Joh 4:27 And upon this came His disciples, and marvelled that He spoke with a woman: however, no one said,
        What seek Thou? Or, Why talk Thou with her?
Joh 4:28 The woman then left her water pot, and went into the city, and says to the men,
Joh 4:29 Come, see a man who has told me all [things] that ever I did. Is this not the Christ{Messiah}?
Joh 4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came to Him.
Joh 4:31 In the meantime the disciples prayed Him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Joh 4:32 But He said to them, I have food to eat that ye have not known.
Joh 4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has anyone brought Him [aught] to eat?
Joh 4:34 Jesus says to them,
        My food is that may do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
Joh 4:35 Say not ye, It is yet four months, and [then] comes harvest?
        Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields;
        for they are white already to harvest!
Joh 4:36 And he who reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit to everlasting life:
        that both he who sowing, and he who reaping, may rejoice together.
Joh 4:37 And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
Joh 4:38 I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured:
        others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
Joh 4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed into Him for the saying of the woman,
        who testifying, He told me all that ever I did.
Joh 4:40 Then when the Samaritans came to Him, they besought Him to abode with them:
        and He abode there two days.
Joh 4:41 And many more believed, because of His word;
Joh 4:42 and said to the woman,
        We believe, no longer because of Thy saying: for we have heard ourselves,
        and we have known that this is truly the Christ{Messiah}, the Saviour of the World.
Joh 4:43
        And after two days He departed thence, and went into Galilee.
Joh 4:44 For Jesus Himself testified that a Prophet has no honour in His fatherland.
Joh 4:45 {Healing from nobleman's son}.
        Then when He came into Galilee,
        the Galileans received Him,
        having seen all the things that He did at Jerusalem at the Festival:
        for they also came to the Festival.
Joh 4:46 Then 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.
Joh 4:47 He, having heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee;
        he went to Him, and besought Him:
        that He would come down, and heal his son: for he was about to die.
Joh 4:48 Then said Jesus to him,
        Except ye see signs and wonders, ye shall not believe.
Joh 4:49 The nobleman says to Him,
        Lord, come down before my child dies.
Joh 4:50 Jesus says to him,
        Go; Thy son lives.
        And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and he departed.
Joh 4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him,
        saying, Thy boy lives.
Joh 4:52 Then he inquired from them the hour in which he became better: and they said to him,
        Yesterday at the seventh hour{Roman time} the fever left him.
Joh 4:53 Then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him,
        Thy son lives: and he himself believed, and his whole house.
Joh 4:54 This [is] again the second sign [that] Jesus did, having come from Judea into Galilee.

Joh 5:1 {Healing by the Sheep Gate}.
        After these there was a Festival of the Jews: and Jesus go up to Jerusalem.
Joh 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the Sheep [Gate] a pool, which being called in Hebrew, Beth-esda,
        having five porches.
Joh 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of the weak, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
Joh 5:4 For an Angel went down at a certain season in the pool, and troubled the water:
        whoever then first after the troubling having entered into the water became whole of whatever disease he had.
Joh 5:5 And a certain man was there, who having the infirmity thirty eight years.
Joh 5:6 Jesus, having seen him lying, and He having known that he is already a long time, He says to him,
        Will Thou be to become whole?
Joh 5:7 The weak [man] answered Him,
        Lord, I have no man, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool:
        but while I am coming, another steps down before me.
Joh 5:8 Jesus says to him,
        Rise, take up Thy bed, and walk.
Joh 5:9 And immediately the man became whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on that day was the Sabbath.
Joh 5:10 The Jews therefore said to Him that was healed, it is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for Thee to carry the bed.
Joh 5:11 He answered them,
        He who having made him whole, the same said to me, Take up Thy bed, and walk.
Joh 5:12 Then they asked him,
        What man is that who having said to Thee, Take up Thy bed, and walk?
Joh 5:13 And he who having been healed had not known who it is: for Jesus had conveyed Himself away, a multitude being in the place.
Joh 5:14 After these Jesus finds him in the Temple, and said to him,
        Behold, Thou have become whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to Thee.
Joh 5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who having made him whole.
Joh 5:16 And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay Him,
        because He did these [things] on the Sabbath.
Joh 5:17 {Father and Son}.
         But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
Joh 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only breaking the Sabbath,
         but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal [to] God.
Joh 5:19
        Then answered Jesus, said to them,
        Amen, Amen I say to you, The Son can do nothing by Himself,
        but what He may see the Father doing: for whatever things He may do, these also does the Son likewise!
Joh 5:20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all [things] that Himself does:
        and He shall show Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
Joh 5:21 For as the Father raises the dead, and vivifies [them]; so also the Son vivifies whom He will.
Joh 5:22 For the Father judges no one; but has given all judgment to the Son:
Joh 5:23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.
        He who honouring not the Son, honours not the Father who having sent Him.
Joh 5:24 Amen, Amen I say to you, that he who hearing My word, and believing [into] Him who sent Me,
        has everlasting life, and comes not into condemnation; but has passed from death to life!
Joh 5:25 Amen, Amen I say to you, that [the] hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God:
        and they that having heard shall live!
Joh 5:26
        For as the Father has life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in Himself;
Joh 5:27 and gave to Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is [the] Son of Man.
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: that [the] hour comes, in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice,
Joh 5:29 and shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life;
        and they that have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Joh 5:30
        I can of Myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just;
        because I seek not My own will, but the will of the Father who has sent Me.
Joh 5:31 If I may testify concerning Myself, My testimony is not valid. [Deu 19:15]
Joh 5:32 There is another that testifies concerning Me,
        and I have known that the testimony which He bears concerning Me is true.
Joh 5:33 Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
Joh 5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these [things] I say, that ye may be saved.
Joh 5:35 He was the burning and shining Lamp: and ye would for an hour to rejoice in His Light.
Joh 5:36 But I have greater testimony than [that] of John:
        for the works which the Father gave Me,
        that I finish them, the same works that I do, bear testimony concerning Me, that the Father has sent Me.
Joh 5:37 And the Father Himself who having sent Me, has borne testimony concerning Me.
        Ye have neither ever heard His voice, nor have seen His shape.
Joh 5:38 And ye have not His word abiding in you: for whom He has sent, Him ye believe not.
Joh 5:39 Search ye the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye to have everlasting life: and they are they which testify of Me.
Joh 5:40 And ye will not to come to Me, that ye may have life.
Joh 5:41 I receive not glory from men.
Joh 5:42 But I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.
Joh 5:43 I have come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not:
        if another should come in his own name, him ye shall receive.
Joh 5:44 How can ye believe, receiving glory one from another,
        and ye seek not the glory that [comes] from the only God?
Joh 5:45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father:
        there is [one] that accuses you, Moses, in whom ye have hoped.
Joh 5:46 For if ye were believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote concerning Me.
Joh 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My sayings?

Joh 6:1 {Miracle of the loaves}.
        After these Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, [which is] the [sea] of Tiberias.
Joh 6:2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed upon the weak.
Joh 6:3 And Jesus went upon the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.
Joh 6:4 And the Passover was near, the Festival of the Jews.
Joh 6:5 Then Jesus having lifted up [His] eyes, and saw a great multitude come to Him, He says to Philip,
        Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?
Joh 6:6 And this He said to trying him: for He Himself had known what He was about to do.
Joh 6:7 Philip answered Him,
        Two hundred denarii of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take some bit:
Joh 6:8 one of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to Him,
Joh 6:9 there is one lad here, who has five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
Joh 6:10 But Jesus said,
        Make the men sit down.
        (Now there was much grass in the place). Then the men sat down in number about five thousand.
Joh 6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and He having given thanks, He distributed to the disciples,
        and the disciples to them that reclining;
        and likewise of the small fishes, as much as they would.
Joh 6:12 When they were satisfied, He says to His disciples,
        Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.
Joh 6:13 Therefore they gathered [them], and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves,
        which remained over and above to them that having eaten.
Joh 6:14 Then those men, when they having seen the sign that Jesus performed, said,
        This is truly that Prophet who coming into the World.
Joh 6:15 Jesus therefore having known that they would come and take Him by force,
        that they may make Him a King, He departed again to the mountain Himself alone.
Joh 6:16 {Walking on water}.
        But when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
Joh 6:17 and entered into the ship, and went over the sea towards Capernaum.
        And darkness already had become, and Jesus had not come to them.
Joh 6:18 And the sea was rising by a great wind that blew.
Joh 6:19 Then they having rowed about twenty five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking upon the sea,
        and coming near to the ship: and they were afraid.
Joh 6:20 But He says to them, [it is] I AM; be not afraid.
Joh 6:21 Then they desired to take Him into the ship:
        and immediately the ship came at the land where they were going.
Joh 6:22 The next morrow, when the multitude who stood on the other side of the sea:
        having seen that there was no other boat there, except that one into which His disciples entered,
        and that Jesus went not with His disciples into the boat,
        but [that] His disciples went away alone.
Joh 6:23 {Bread from Heaven}.
        (Yet there came other boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, after the Lord having given thanks).
Joh 6:24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus is not there, neither His disciples,
        they also entered ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
Joh 6:25 And they having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him,
        Rabbi, when have Thou come here?
Joh 6:26 Jesus answered them, and said,
        Amen, Amen I say to you, that ye seek Me, not because ye saw the signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled!
Joh 6:27
        Labour not for the food which perishes, but for that food which remaining to everlasting life,
        which the Son of Man shall give to you: for God the Father sealed Him.
Joh 6:28 Then said they to Him, What may we do, that we may work the works of God?
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them,
        This is the work of God, that ye should believe into Him whom He has sent.
Joh 6:30 They said therefore to Him,
        What sign show Thou then, that we may see, and believe Thee? What do Thou work?
Joh 6:31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it has been written,
        He gave them Bread from Heaven to eat. [Psa 78:24]
Joh 6:32 Then Jesus said to them,
        Amen, Amen I say to you, Moses has given you not that Bread from Heaven;
        but My Father gives you the true Bread from Heaven!
Joh 6:33 For the Bread of God is He who coming down from Heaven, and gives life to the World.
Joh 6:34 Then said they to Him,
        Lord, always give us this bread.
Joh 6:35 But Jesus said to them,
        I AM the Bread of Life:
        he who coming to Me, may never hunger;
      and he who believing into Me, may never thirst.
Joh 6:36 But I said to you, that ye also have seen Me, and believe not.
Joh 6:37 All that the Father gives Me, shall come to Me; and him who coming to Me, I may not cast out.
Joh 6:38 For I have come down from Heaven, not that I may do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will who has sent Me, that of all which He has given Me,
        I should lose nothing of it, but shall raise it up at the Last Day.
Joh 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me,
        that every one who seeing the Son, and believing into Him, may have everlasting life:
        and I shall raise him up at the Last Day.
Joh 6:41 The Jews then murmured about Him, because He said,
        I AM the Bread that having descended from Heaven.
Joh 6:42 And they said,
        Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known?
        How is it then that He says, I have come down from Heaven?
Joh 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them,
        Murmur not with one another.
Joh 6:44 No one is able to come to Me, except the Father who having sent Me may draw him: and I shall raise him up at the Last Day.
Joh 6:45 It is has been written in the Prophets,
        And they shall be all taught from GOD. Every [man] therefore that having heard, and having learned from the Father, comes to Me. [Isa 54:13]
Joh 6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who being from God, He has seen the Father.
Joh 6:47 Amen, Amen I say to you, He who believing into Me has everlasting life!
Joh 6:48 I AM the Bread of Life.
Joh 6:49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and died.
Joh 6:50 This is the Bread that having descended from Heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.
Joh 6:51 I AM the Living Bread that having descended from Heaven:
         if anyone may eat of this Bread,
        he shall live forever: and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the World.
Joh 6:52 The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, How can this man give us [His] flesh to eat?
Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said to them,
        Amen, Amen I say to you, Except ye may eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may drink His blood, ye have no life in yourselves!
Joh 6:54 He who eating My flesh, and drinking My blood, has everlasting life; and I shall raise him up at the Last Day.
Joh 6:55 For My flesh is truly food, and My blood is truly drink.
Joh 6:56 He who eating My flesh, and drinking My blood, abides in Me, and I in him.
Joh 6:57 As the living Father has sent Me, and I live through the Father: so he who eating Me, even he shall live by Me.
Joh 6:58 This is the Bread that having descended from the Heaven:
         not as your fathers ate manna, and died:
        He who eating of this Bread shall live forever.
Joh 6:59 These [things] He said in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum.
Joh 6:60
        Then many of His disciples, having heard, said,
        This is a hard saying, who can hear it?
Joh 6:61 But Jesus knowing in Himself that His disciples murmur about it, He said to them,
        Does this offend you?
Joh 6:62 If therefore ye should see the Son of Man ascending up where He was before?
Joh 6:63 It is the Spirit who vivifying; the flesh profits nothing: the sayings that I speak to you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.
Joh 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not.
        For Jesus had known from [the] beginning who they are that believing not,
        and who he is that shall betraying Him.
Joh 6:65 And He said, Therefore I have said to you, that no one is able to come to Me, except it have been given to him by My Father.
Joh 6:66 From that [time] many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.
Joh 6:67 Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will ye also to go away?
Joh 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered Him,
        Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou have the sayings of everlasting life.
Joh 6:69 And we have believed, and have known that Thou are the Christ{Messiah}, the Son of the Living God.
Joh 6:70 Jesus answered them,
        Have not I chosen you; the twelve, and one of you is a devil?
Joh 6:71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot ([the son] of Simon): for it was he who was to betray Him, being one of the twelve.

Joh 7:1 {The Festival of Tabernacles}.
        And Jesus walked after these in Galilee:
        for He would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
Joh 7:2 Now the Jews' Festival of Tabernacles was near.
Joh 7:3 His brethren therefore said to Him,
        Depart hence, and go into Judea,
        that Thy disciples also may see the works that Thou do.
Joh 7:4 For [there is] no one [that] does anything in secret,
        and he himself seeks to be known openly.
        If Thou do these [things], show Thyself to the World;
Joh 7:5 (for neither did His brethren believed into Him).
Joh 7:6 Then Jesus says to them,
        My time is not yet present: but your time is always ready.
Joh 7:7 The World cannot hate you; but Me it hates, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil.
Joh 7:8 Go ye up to this Festival: I go <not yet> up to this Festival, for My time has been <not yet> fulfilled.
Joh 7:9
        And He having said these [things] to them, He abode [still] in Galilee.
Joh 7:10 But when His brethren were gone up, then He went also to the Festival,
        not openly, but as it were in secret.
Joh 7:11 Then the Jews sought Him at the Festival,
        and said, Where is He?
Joh 7:12 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning Him:
        for some said, He is a good man:
        but others said, No; but He deceives the multitude.
Joh 7:13 However, no one spoke openly of Him, for fear of the Jews.
Joh 7:14 Now about the middle of the Festival, Jesus went up into the Temple, and taught.
Joh 7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying,
         How has this [Man] known letters, having never learned?
Joh 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said,
        My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
Joh 7:17 If anyone may wish to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine,
        whether it is from God, or [whether] I speak from Myself.
Joh 7:18 He who speaking from himself, seeks his own glory: but he who seeking his glory who sent Him,
        the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Joh 7:19 Has not Moses given you the Law, and [yet] none of you keeps the Law? Why seek ye to kill Me?
Joh 7:20 The multitude answered and said,
        Thou have a demon: who seeks to kill Thee?
Joh 7:21 Jesus answered and said to them,
        I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
Joh 7:22 Moses therefore has given you circumcision,
        (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers) and on the Sabbath ye circumcise a man.
Joh 7:23 If a man on the Sabbath receives circumcision, that the Law of Moses may not be broken;
        are ye angry at Me, because I made a man all whole on the Sabbath?
Joh 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Joh 7:25
        Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this He whom they seek to kill?
Joh 7:26 And behold, He speaks openly, and they say nothing to Him.
         Did the rulers knew truly that this is truly the Christ{Messiah}?
Joh 7:27 But we have known this [Man], whence He is:
        whereas when the Christ{Messiah} may come, no one knows whence He is.
Joh 7:28 Then cried Jesus in the Temple, as He taught, saying,
        Ye have known Me both, and ye have known whence I AM: and I have come not of Myself,
        but He who having sent Me is true, whom ye have not known.
Joh 7:29 But I have known Him; for I AM from Him, [and] He has sent Me.
Joh 7:30 Then they sought to take Him: but no one laid the hand on Him,
        because His hour had not yet come.
Joh 7:31
        And many of the multitude believed into Him, and said,
        When the Christ{Messiah} may come, shall He do more signs than these which this [Man] has done?
Joh 7:32 The Pharisees heard that the multitude murmured such things concerning Him:
        and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take Him.
Joh 7:33 Then said Jesus to them,
        Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go to Him who sent Me;
Joh 7:34 ye shall seek Me, and shall not find [Me]: and where I AM, ye cannot to come.
Joh 7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, where should He go, that we shall not find Him?
        Should He go to the dispersion among the Greeks{gentiles}, and teach the Greeks{gentiles}?
Joh 7:36 What [manner of] saying is this that He said,
        ye shall seek Me, and shall not find [Me]: and where I AM, ye cannot to come?
Joh 7:37
        In the Last Day, that great [Day] of the Festival, Jesus had stood and cried, saying,
        If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him drink.
Joh 7:38 He who believing into Me, as the Scripture has said,
        out of His belly shall flow rivers of Living Water;
Joh 7:39 (but this He spoke of the Spirit, which they that believing into Him should receive,
        for [the] Holy Spirit was not yet [given], because that Jesus was not yet glorified).
Joh 7:40
        Many of the multitude therefore, when they having heard this saying, said, This is truly the Prophet.
Joh 7:41 Others said, This is the Christ{Messiah}. But some said, Comes the Christ{Messiah} out of Galilee?
Joh 7:42 Has not the Scripture said, that the Christ{Messiah} comes from the seed of David, [2Sa 7:12-13 1Ch 17:11-14 Jer 23:5-6]
        and out of the town of Beth-lehem, where David was? [Mic 5:2]
Joh 7:43 Then there came a division among the multitude because of Him.
Joh 7:44 And some of them would have taken Him; but no one laid hands on Him.
Joh 7:45
        Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them,
        Why then have ye not brought Him?
Joh 7:46 The officers answered,
        Never spoke man so as this man.
Joh 7:47 Then the Pharisees answered them,
        Are ye also deceived?
Joh 7:48 Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed into Him?
Joh 7:49 But this multitude who know not the Law are cursed.
Joh 7:50 Nicodemus says to them, (he who having come to Him by night, being one of them).
Joh 7:51 Our Law judges not the man, except it first may hear from him, and know what he does?
Joh 7:52 They answered and said to him,
        Are Thou also from Galilee? Search, and see: for out of Galilee has been raised no prophet.
Joh 7:53 {woman taken in adultery}.
        And each went to his [own] house.
Joh 8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives:
Joh 8:2 and by daybreak He came again into the Temple,
        and all the people came to Him; and He having sat down and was teaching them.
Joh 8:3
        But the scribes and Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery:
        and they having set her in the middle,
Joh 8:4 they say to Him,
        Master, this woman was taken in the very act, committing adultery.
Joh 8:5 Now Moses in the Law commanded us, that such are to be stoned; then what say Thou? [Deu 22:22]
Joh 8:6 But they said this, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him.
        But Jesus having stooped down, and wrote with the finger on the ground,
Joh 8:7 but as they continued asking Him, He raised Himself, and said to them,
        He who is sinless among you, let him first cast a stone at her. [Deu 17:7]
Joh 8:8 And again He having stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Joh 8:9 But [when] they having heard, and being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one,
        beginning at the eldest, to the last: and Jesus was left alone,
        and the woman standing in [the] middle.
Joh 8:10 But Jesus having raised Himself, and having seen none but the woman, He said to her,
        Woman, where are those Thy accusers? Has no one condemned Thee?
Joh 8:11 But she said, no one, Lord. And Jesus said to her,
        Neither do I condemn Thee: go, and sin no more.
Joh 8:12 {Light of Life}.
        Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying,
        I AM the Light of the World:
        He who following Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.
Joh 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him,
        Thou testify concerning Thyself; Thy testimony is not valid. [Deu 19:15]
Joh 8:14 Jesus answered and said to them,
        Even if I may testify concerning Myself, [yet] My testimony is true:
        for I have known whence I came, and where I go;
        but ye have not known whence I come, and where I go.
Joh 8:15 Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no one.
Joh 8:16 And yet if I judge, My judgment is true:
        for I AM not alone, but I and the Father who having sent Me.
Joh 8:17 And also it has been written in your Law, that the testimony of two men is valid. [Deu 19:15]
Joh 8:18 I AM that testifies concerning Myself;
        and the Father who having sent Me, testifies concerning Me.
Joh 8:19 Then said they to Him, Where is Thy Father?
        Jesus answered, ye have not known Me, nor My Father:
        if ye had known Me, ye would had known also My Father.
Joh 8:20 These sayings Jesus spoke by the treasury, as He taught in the Temple:
        and no one took Him, for His hour had not yet come.
Joh 8:21 Then said Jesus again to them,
        I going away, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sin:
        where I go, ye cannot to come.
Joh 8:22 Then said the Jews,
        shall He kill Himself? Because He says,
        where I go, ye cannot to come.
Joh 8:23 And He said to them,
         Ye are from beneath; I AM from above: ye are of this World; I AM not of this World.
Joh 8:24 I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins:
        for if ye may believe not that I AM, ye shall die in your sins.
Joh 8:25 Then said they to Him,
        Who are Thou? And Jesus said to them,
        What I also said from the beginning to you.
Joh 8:26 I have many [things] to say, and to judge of you: but He who having sent Me, is true:
        and I speak into the World those things which I also have heard from Him.
Joh 8:27 They understood not that He spoke to them concerning the Father.
Joh 8:28 Then said Jesus to them,
        When ye should lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I AM, and [that] I do nothing of Myself;
        but as My Father has taught Me, I speak these [things].
Joh 8:29 And He who having sent Me is with Me: the Father has not left Me alone;
        for I do always those things that please Him.

Joh 8:30 {children of GOD and Abraham}.
        As He speaking these [things], many believed into Him.
Joh 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who having been believed Him,
        If ye abide in My word, ye are truly My disciples;
Joh 8:32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 8:33 They answered Him,
        We are Abraham's seed, and no, we have never been in bondage:
        how say Thou, Ye shall be made free?
Joh 8:34 Jesus answered them,
        Amen, Amen I say to you, that whoever doing the sin, is the bondman of sin!
Joh 8:35 And the servant abides not in the house forever, [but] the Son abides forever.
Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore should make you free, indeed ye shall be free.
Joh 8:37 I have known that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill Me,
        because My word has no place in you.
Joh 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with My Father:
        and ye therefore do what ye have seen with your father.
Joh 8:39 They answered and said to Him,
        Abraham is our father.
        Jesus says to them,
        If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Joh 8:40 But now ye seek to kill Me, a Man that has told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
Joh 8:41 Ye do the works of your father.
        Then said they to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have One Father, God.
Joh 8:42
        Jesus said to them,
        If God were your Father, ye would love Me:
        for I when forth of God and I come;
        for neither I have come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Joh 8:43 Why do ye not understand My speech?
        Because ye cannot hear My word.
Joh 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father,
        ye will to do; he was a murderer from [the] beginning, and has not stood in the truth,
        because there is no truth in him. When he may speak the lie,
        he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and of it the father.
Joh 8:45 But because I tell the truth, ye not believe Me.
Joh 8:46 Which of you convicts Me of sin?
         But if I tell the truth, why do ye not believe Me?
Joh 8:47 He who being of God, hears God's sayings:
        ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
Joh 8:48
        Then answered the Jews, and said to Him,
        Say we not well that Thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
Joh 8:49 Jesus answered,
        I have not a demon; but I honour My Father, and ye dishonour Me.
Joh 8:50 But I seek not My own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.
Joh 8:51 Amen, Amen I say to you, If anyone may keep My saying, he may never see death!
Joh 8:52 Then said the Jews to Him,
        Now we have known that Thou have a demon.
        Abraham died, and the prophets; and Thou say,
        If anyone may keep My saying, He shall never taste death.
Joh 8:53 Are Thou greater than our father Abraham who died?
        And the prophets died: whom make Thou Thyself?
Joh 8:54 Jesus answered,
        If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing:
        it is My Father that glorifying Me,
        of whom ye say, that He is your God:
Joh 8:55 yet ye have not known Him; but I have known Him:
         and if I should say,
        I have not known Him, I shall be a liar like you:
        but I have known Him, and keep His word.
Joh 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and He saw [it], and was glad.
Joh 8:57 Then said the Jews to Him, Thou are not yet fifty years [old], and have Thou seen Abraham?
Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them,
        Amen, Amen I say to you, Before Abraham was, I AM!
Joh 8:59 Then they took up stones that they might cast at Him: but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the Temple,
        going through the middle of them, and so passed by.

Joh 9:1 {Healing of the blind son}.
        And as He passing by, He saw a man [who was] blind from [his] birth.
Joh 9:2 And His disciples asked Him, saying,
        Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?
Joh 9:3 Jesus answered,
        Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents:
        but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Joh 9:4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me,
        while it is day: the night comes when no one can work.
Joh 9:5 When I may be in the World,
        I AM the Light of the World.
Joh 9:6 He having said these,
        He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle,
        and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
Joh 9:7 and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is translated, having been sent).
        He went therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
Joh 9:8 The neighbours therefore, and they who seeing him before that he was blind,
        said, Is not this he who [was] sitting and begging?
Joh 9:9 Some said, This is he: others [said], he is like him: [but] he said that, I am [him]!
Joh 9:10 Therefore they said to him, How were Thy eyes opened?
Joh 9:11 He answered and said,
        A man being called Jesus, made clay, and anointed my eyes,
        and said to Me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash:
        and I went and washed, and I received sight.
Joh 9:12 Then said they to him, Where is He? He says, I have not known.
Joh 9:13
        They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind.
Joh 9:14 And it was the Sabbath when Jesus made the clay,
        and opened his eyes.
Joh 9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight.
        But He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.
Joh 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees,
        This Man is not from God, because He keeps not the Sabbath. Others said,
        How can a Man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.
Joh 9:17 They say to the blind man again, What say Thou of Him, that He has opened Thy eyes?
        But he said, He is a Prophet.
Joh 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind,
        and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that having received his sight.
Joh 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind?
        How then now does he see?
Joh 9:20 His parents answered them, and said,
        We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
Joh 9:21 but how he now sees, we have not known;
         or who has opened his eyes, we have not known:
         he is of age; ask him:
         he shall speak for himself.
Joh 9:22 These said his parents, because they feared the Jews:
         for the Jews had agreed already, that if anyone confessed that He was [the] Christ{Messiah},
         he should be put out of the synagogue.
Joh 9:23 Therefore said his parents,
        he is of age; ask him.
Joh 9:24 They called, therefore, a second [time] the man that was blind,
        and said to him, Give God the glory: we have known that this Man is a sinner.
Joh 9:25 Then he answered and said,
         If He is a sinner, I have not known:
         one thing I have known, that whereas I being blind, now I see.
Joh 9:26 Then they said to him again, What did He to Thee? How opened He Thy eyes?
Joh 9:27 He answered them,
        I have told you already, and ye did not hear:
        Why will ye hear [it] again? Will ye also be His disciples?
Joh 9:28 Then they reviled him, and said,
        Thou are His disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
Joh 9:29 We have known that God has spoken to Moses:
        but Him, we have not known whence He is.
Joh 9:30 The man answered and said to them,
        For herein is a marvellous thing, that ye have not known whence He is,
        and [yet] He has opened my eyes.
Joh 9:31 Now we have known that God hears not sinners:
        but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and may do His will, him He hears.
Joh 9:32 Since the Age{World} began was it never heard that anyone opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
Joh 9:33 Except this [Man] were from God, he could do nothing.
Joh 9:34 They answered and said to him,
        Thou were altogether born in sins, and do Thou teach us?
        And they cast him out.
Joh 9:35
        Jesus heard that they cast him out:
        and He having found him, He said to him,
        Do Thou believe into the Son of God?
Joh 9:36 He answered and said,
        Who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?
Joh 9:37 But Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen Him,
        and it is He who speaking with Thee.
Joh 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped Him.
Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this World,
        that they who seeing not, may see; and that they who seeing, may become blind.
Joh 9:40 And [some] of the Pharisees who being with Him heard these [things],
        and said to Him, Are we also blind?
Joh 9:41 Jesus said to them, if ye were blind, ye would have no sin:
        but now ye say, we see; therefore your sin remains.

Joh 10:1 {Parable of the Good Shepherd}.
        Amen, Amen I say to you, He who entering not by the Door into the sheep fold,
        but climbs up elsewhere, the same is a thief and a robber!
Joh 10:2 But He who entering by the Door, [is] the Shepherd of the sheep.
Joh 10:3 To Him the porter opens; and the sheep hear His voice:
        and He calls His own sheep by name, and leads them out.
Joh 10:4 And when He shall send forth His own sheep, He goes before them,
        and the sheep follow Him: for they have known His voice.
Joh 10:5 And a stranger shall they not follow, but shall flee from him:
        for they have not known the voice of strangers.
Joh 10:6 This proverb spoke Jesus to them:
        but they understood not what things they were which He spoke to them.
Joh 10:7
        Then said Jesus to them again,
        Amen, Amen I say to you,
        I AM the Door of the sheep!
Joh 10:8 All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Joh 10:9
        I AM the Door: by Me if anyone may enter he shall be saved,
        and shall go in and shall out, and shall find pasture.
Joh 10:10 The thief comes not, except so that he may steal and may kill and may destroy:
        I came that they may have life, and that they may have [it] more abundantly.
Joh 10:11
        I AM the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd lays down His soul for the sheep.
Joh 10:12 But the hireling, (and not being a shepherd), whose own not the sheep,
        sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep,
        and flees, and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep.
Joh 10:13 The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and cares not for the sheep.
Joh 10:14
        I AM the good Shepherd, and know My [sheep],
        and AM known by Mine.
Joh 10:15 As the Father knows Me, I also know the Father:
        and I lay down My soul for the sheep.
Joh 10:16 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 flock, [and] One Shepherd.
Joh 10:17 Therefore My Father loves Me,
        because I lay down My soul, that I may take it again.
Joh 10:18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself.
        I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again.
        This Commandment received I from My Father.
Joh 10:19 There came a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
Joh 10:20 And many of them said,
        He has a demon, and is insane; why hear ye Him?
Joh 10:21 Others said,
        These are not the sayings of Him possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?

Joh 10:22 {Ye are GODS: children of the Holy Father}.
        And the dedication{Hanukkah} in Jerusalem came, and it was winter.
Joh 10:23 And Jesus walked in the Temple in Solomon's porch.
Joh 10:24 Then came the Jews around Him, and said to Him,
        Until when until Thou lifted up our soul{explain}? If Thou are the Christ{Messiah}, tell us plainly.
Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them,
        I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I did in My Father's name,
        they testify concerning Me.
Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, for ye are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, I also know them, and they follow Me:
Joh 10:28 and I give to them everlasting life; and they might never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of My hand.
Joh 10:29 My Father who has given [them to] Me, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck [them] out of My Father's hand.
Joh 10:30 I and the Father are One.
Joh 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again, that they might stone Him.
Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them,
        Many good works have I shown you from My Father; for which of those works do ye stone Me?
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered Him, saying,
        For a good work we stone Thee not; but for blasphemy,
        and because that Thou, being a man, make Thyself God.
Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not has been written in your Law,
        I said, Ye are GODS? [Psa 82:6]
Joh 10:35 If He called them GODS, to whom the Word of GOD came,
        and the Scripture cannot be broken;
Joh 10:36 say ye of Him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the World,
        Thou blasphemes; because I said,
        I AM the Son of God?
Joh 10:37 If I do not the works of My Father, believe not Me.
Joh 10:38 But if I do, even if ye may believe not Me, believe the works:
          that ye may know and may believe that the Father [is] in Me, and I in Him.
Joh 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take Him; but He escaped from their hand,
Joh 10:40 and went again beyond the Jordan,
        into the place where John was at first baptized; and there He abode.
Joh 10:41 And many came to Him, and said, John performed no sign;
        but all [things] that John spoke of this Man were true.
Joh 10:42 And many believed into Him there.

Joh 11:1 {Lazarus was sick}.
        Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus,
        from Beth-any, of the town of Mary and her sister Martha;
Joh 11:2 (it was [that] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick). [Joh 12:3]
Joh 11:3 Therefore his sisters sent to Him, saying,
        Lord, behold, He whom Thou love is sick.
Joh 11:4 But [when] Jesus having heard, He said,
        This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
Joh 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Joh 11:6 When therefore He heard that he was sick,
        then indeed He remained in the place where He was two days.
Joh 11:7 Then after that He says to the disciples, Let us go into Judea again.
Joh 11:8 The disciples say to Him,
        Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone Thee; and goes Thou there again?
Joh 11:9 Jesus answered,
        Are there not twelve hours in the day?
        If anyone walks in the day, he stumbles not,
        because he sees the Light of this World.
Joh 11:10 But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
Joh 11:11 These [things] He said.
          And after that He says to them,
        Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
Joh 11:12 Then said His disciples,
        Lord, if he has fallen asleep he shall be whole.
Joh 11:13 But Jesus had spoken of His death: but they thought that He speaks of the repose of sleep.
Joh 11:14 Then therefore said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus died.
Joh 11:15 And I rejoice for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; but let us go to him.
Joh 11:16 Then said Thomas, who being called Didymus{Twin}, to His fellow-disciples,
        Let us also go, that we may die with Him.
Joh 11:17 {The resurrection of Lazarus}.
         Then Jesus, having come, found him having four days already in the tomb;
Joh 11:18 (now Beth-any was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia distant).
Joh 11:19 And many of the Jews had come to those around Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother.
Joh 11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus comes, went and met Him: but Mary sat in the house.
Joh 11:21 Then said Martha to Jesus,
        Lord, if Thou were here, my brother died not.
Joh 11:22 But I have known that even now, whatever Thou may ask of God, GOD shall give [it] Thee.
Joh 11:23 Jesus says to her,
        Thy brother shall rise up.
Joh 11:24 Martha says to Him,
        I have known that he shall rise up in the resurrection at the Last Day.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said to her,
        I AM the Resurrection, and the Life: he who believing into Me, even if he may die, he shall live:
Joh 11:26 and whoever living, and believing into Me, may never die.
        Believe Thou this?
Joh 11:27 She says to Him,
        Yes, Lord, I have believed that Thou are the Christ{Messiah}, the Son of God, who coming into the World.
Joh 11:28 And she having said these, she went and called Mary her sister privately, saying,
        The Master is present, and calls for Thee.
Joh 11:29 As soon as she heard [that], she is arose quickly, and comes to Him.
Joh 11:30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met Him.
Joh 11:31 The Jews then who being with her in the house, and comforted her,
        they having seen Mary that she rose quickly, and went out, followed her,
        saying, She goes to the grave that she may weep there.
Joh 11:32 Then when Mary came where Jesus was, and she having seen Him,
        she fell down at His feet, saying to Him,
        Lord, if Thou were here, my brother died not.
Joh 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping,
        and the Jews also weeping who came with her,
        He groaned in the spirit, and troubled Himself;
Joh 11:34 and said, Where have ye laid him?
        They say to Him, Lord, come and see.
Joh 11:35 Jesus wept.
Joh 11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how He loved him!
Joh 11:37 And some of them said,
        Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Joh 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in Himself, comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Joh 11:39 Jesus says, Take ye away the stone.
        Martha, the sister of him that was dead, says to Him,
        Lord, his body already stinks: for it is [the] fourth day.
Joh 11:40 Jesus says to her,
        Said I not to Thee, that if Thou may believe, Thou shall see the glory of God?
Joh 11:41 Then they took away the stone, where the dead was laid.
         But Jesus lifted up [His] eyes, and said,
        Father, I give thanks [to] Thee that Thou have heard Me:
Joh 11:42 but I had known that Thou hear Me always: but because of the multitude who standing by,
        I said [it], that they may believe that Thou sent Me.
Joh 11:43 And He having said these, He cried with a great voice,
        Lazarus, come here, outside!
Joh 11:44 And he who having died came forth, bound the feet and the hands with grave-clothes:
        and his face had been bound about with a handkerchief.
        Jesus says to them,
        Loose him, and let [him] go.
Joh 11:45 {Caiaphas want to kill the Messiah for the Romans}.
        Then many of the Jews who having come to Mary, and they having seen the things which Jesus did, believed into Him.
Joh 11:46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus did.
Joh 11:47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said,
        What do we? For this man performs many signs.
Joh 11:48 If we let Him thus alone, all shall believe into Him:
        and the Romans shall come, and shall take away both our place and nation.
Joh 11:49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the High Priest that year,
        said to them, ye have known nothing,
Joh 11:50 nor consider that it is expedient for us, that One Man should die for the people, and that not the whole nation should perish.
Joh 11:51 And this he spoke not of himself: but being High Priest that year,
        He prophesied that Jesus was about to die for that nation;
Joh 11:52 and not for that nation only, but that also He might assemble in one the children of GOD that were scattered abroad.
Joh 11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together that they should kill Him.
Joh 11:54
        Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews;
        but went thence to a country near to the wilderness,
        into a city being called Ephraim, and there continued with His disciples.
Joh 11:55 And the Jews' Passover was near, and many of the country go up to Jerusalem,
        that they might purify themselves before the Passover.
Joh 11:56 Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke with one another, as they standing in the Temple,
        What [do] you think, that He may not come to the Festival?
Joh 11:57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment,
        that if anyone knew where He is, he should show [it], that they might take Him.
Joh 12:1 {Ointment of Jesus}.
        Then Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Beth-any,
        where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He raised from the dead.
Joh 12:2
        There then they made Him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that reclining [at table] with Him.
Joh 12:3 Then Mary took a litra of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus,
        and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Joh 12:4 Then says one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], who being about to betray Him,
Joh 12:5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
Joh 12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what being put in it.
Joh 12:7 Then said Jesus,
        Let her alone: for the day of My burial she has kept it.
Joh 12:8 For the poor ye have always with you; but Me ye have not always.
Joh 12:9
        A great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that He is there: and they came, not only for Jesus,
        but that they might see also Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.
Joh 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they also should kill Lazarus;
Joh 12:11 because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed into Jesus.

Joh 12:12 {Triumphal entry into Jerusalem}.
        On the next morrow, a great multitude that having come to the Festival, when they having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem,
Joh 12:13 took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried,
        Hosanna <Blessed [is] He who coming in the name of the LORD>! Even the King of Israel. [Psa 118:26]
Joh 12:14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it has been written,
Joh 12:15 fear not, Daughter of Zion: behold, Thy King comes, sitting upon an ass' colt. [Zec 9:9]

Joh 12:16 {Glorified above the World}.
        But His disciples knew not these [things] at first: but when Jesus was glorified,
        then they remembered that these [things] were written concerning Him,
        and [that] they did these [things] to Him.
Joh 12:17 The multitude therefore that being with Him when He called Lazarus out of his grave,
        and raised him from the dead, bore testimony.
Joh 12:18 Therefore the multitude also met Him, for that they heard that He having done this sign.
Joh 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye that ye prevail nothing? Behold, the World is gone after Him.
Joh 12:20
        And there were some Greeks{gentiles} out of those coming up that they might to worship at the Festival.
Joh 12:21 Then these came therefore to Philip, who was of Beth-saida of Galilee, and desired Him, saying,
        Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
Joh 12:22 Philip comes and tells Andrew: and again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Joh 12:23 But Jesus answered them, saying,
        The hour has come, that the Son of Man should be glorified.
Joh 12:24 Amen, Amen I say to you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it stays alone: but if it may die, it brings forth much fruit!
Joh 12:25 He who loving his soul shall lose it; and he who hating his soul in this World, shall keep it to everlasting life.
Joh 12:26 If anyone serve Me, let him follow Me;
        and where I AM, there shall also My servant be:
        if anyone serve Me, him shall the Father honour.
Joh 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say?
        Father, save Me from this hour: but therefore I came to this hour.
Joh 12:28 Father, glorify Thy name. Then came there a voice from Heaven, [saying],
        I have both glorified [it], and shall glorify [it] again.
Joh 12:29 {Light of the World}.
        The multitude therefore that having stood by, and having heard, said that it has been a thunder.
        Others said, An Angel has spoken to Him.
Joh 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice has come not because of Me, but for your sakes.
Joh 12:31 Now is the Judgment of this World: now the ruler of this World shall be cast out.
Joh 12:32 And I, if I may be lifted up from the Earth, shall draw all to Myself;
Joh 12:33 (this He said, signifying what death He was about to die).
Joh 12:34 The multitude answered Him,
        We have heard out of the Law that the Christ{Messiah} stays forever: and how say Thou,
        The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?
Joh 12:35 Then Jesus said to them,
        Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the Light, lest darkness may overtake you:
        for he who walking in darkness has not known where he goes.
Joh 12:36 While ye have Light, believe into the Light, that ye may become the sons of Light.
        These [things] spoke Jesus, and departed, and concealed Himself from them.
Joh 12:37
        But though He having done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on Him:
Joh 12:38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled,
        which He spoke, LORD, who has believed our report?
        And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? [Isa 53:1]
Joh 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
Joh 12:40 he has blinded their eyes,
        and has hardened their heart;
        that they should not see with [their] eyes,
        nor should understand with [their] heart,
        and should converted, and I should heal them{variant}. [Isa 6:9-10]
Joh 12:41 These [things] said Isaiah, when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him.
Joh 12:42
        Yet however, among the rulers also many believed into Him;
        but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [Him],
        lest they might be put out of the synagogue:
Joh 12:43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
Joh 12:44 Jesus cried, and said,
        he who believing into Me, believes not in Me, but in Him who having sent Me:
Joh 12:45 and he who seeing Me, sees Him who having sent Me:
Joh 12:46 I have come [as] a Light into the World,
        that whoever believing into Me may not abide in darkness.
Joh 12:47 And if anyone hear My sayings, and believe not, I judge him not:
        for I came not that I might judge the World, but I might save the World.
Joh 12:48 He who rejecting Me, and receiving not My sayings, has [one] that judging him:
        the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the Last Day.
Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken from Myself; but the Father who having sent Me,
        He gave Me a Commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Joh 12:50 And I have known that His Commandment is everlasting life:
        whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to Me, so I speak.

Joh 13:1 {Last Supper}.
        Now before the Festival of the Passover, when Jesus knowing that his hour has come that He should depart out of this World to the Father,
        having loved His own who were in the World, He loved them to the end.
Joh 13:2 And while supper was preparing, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, (Simon's [son], that he should betray Him).
Joh 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father has given all [things] into His hands, and that He came from God, and goes to God;
Joh 13:4 He rises from supper, and laid aside His garments; and having taken a towel, and girded Himself.
Joh 13:5 After that, He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet,
        and to wipe [them] with the towel with which He was girded.
Joh 13:6 Then He comes to Simon Peter: and Peter says to Him,
        Lord, do Thou wash my feet?
Joh 13:7 Jesus answered and said to him,
        What I do Thou have not known now; but Thou shall know after these.
Joh 13:8 Peter says to Him,
        Thou may never wash my feet.
        Jesus answered him,
        <If I may wash Thee not, Thou have no part with Me>.
Joh 13:9 Simon Peter says to him,
        Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.
Joh 13:10 Jesus says to him,
        he who having been bathed has no need but to wash the feet, but is wholly clean:
        and ye are clean, but not all.
Joh 13:11 For He had known who would betray Him; therefore said He,
        ye are not all clean.
Joh 13:12 When, therefore, He washed their feet, and took His garments, and was set down again,
        He said to them,
        Know ye what I have done to you?
Joh 13:13
        Ye call Me Master, and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I AM.
Joh 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
Joh 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
Joh 13:16 Amen, Amen I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither [is] a delegate greater than he who sent him!
Joh 13:17 If ye have known these [things], blessed are ye if ye should do them.
Joh 13:18 I speak not of you all; I have known whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture should be fulfilled,
        He who eating bread with Me, has lifted up his heel against Me. [Psa 41:9]
Joh 13:19 From henceforth I tell you before it comes, that when it has come to pass, ye may believe that I AM.
Joh 13:20 Amen, Amen I say to you, He who receiving whomsoever I send, receives Me;
        and He who receiving Me, receives Him who having sent Me!
Joh 13:21
        Jesus having said these, He was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said,
        Amen, Amen I say to you, that one of you shall betray Me!
Joh 13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom He speaks.
Joh 13:23 Now there was reclining on the bosom of Jesus, one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
Joh 13:24 Simon Peter therefore beckons to Him, to inquire who it might be of whom He speaks.
Joh 13:25 He then lying on the breast of Jesus, says to Him,
        Lord, who is it?
Joh 13:26 Jesus answered,
        he it is to whom I shall give a morsel, when I having dipped [it].
        And when he having dipped the morsel, he gave [it] to Judas Iscariot, ([the son] of Simon).
Joh 13:27 And after the morsel Satan entered into him. Then says Jesus to him,
        What Thou do, do quickly.
Joh 13:28 Now no one who reclining [at table] knew for what intent He spoke this to him.
Joh 13:29 For some [of them] thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus says to him,
        Buy [those things] that we have need of against the Festival; or, that He should give something to the poor.
Joh 13:30 He then having received the morsel, went immediately out: and it was night.
Joh 13:31
        Therefore when he was gone out, Jesus says,
        Now the Son of Man was glorified, and God was glorified in Him.
Joh 13:32 If God was glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself, and immediately shall glorify Him.
Joh 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I be with you.
        Ye shall seek Me: and as I said to the Jews,
        where I go, ye cannot to come; so now I say to you!
Joh 13:34 A new Commandment I give to you, that ye should love one another; as I loved you.
          Also that ye should love one another.
Joh 13:35 By this shall all know that ye are My disciples, if ye may have love one to another.
Joh 13:36 Simon Peter says to Him,
        Lord, where goes Thou?
        Jesus answered him,
        Where I go, Thou cannot follow Me now; but Thou shall follow Me afterward.
Joh 13:37 Peter says to Him,
        Lord, why cannot I follow Thee now? I shall lay down my soul for Thy sake.
Joh 13:38 Jesus answered him, Shall Thou lay down Thy soul for My sake?
        Amen, Amen I say to Thee, No cock shall crow, until Thou shall deny Me thrice!

Joh 14:1 {I AM the Way}.
        Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe into God, believe also in Me.
Joh 14:2 In the House of My Father are many abodes: otherwise, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh 14:3 And if I should depart and prepare a place for you, I come again and shall receive you to Myself;
        that where I AM, [there] ye may be also.
Joh 14:4 And where I go ye have known, and the way ye have known.
Joh 14:5
        Thomas says to Him,
        Lord, we have not known where Thou go; and how can we to know the Way?
Joh 14:6 Jesus says to him,
        I AM the Way, and the truth, and the Life: no one comes to the Father, except by Me.
Joh 14:7 If ye had known Me, ye would had known also My Father:
        and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.
Joh 14:8 Philip says to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.
Joh 14:9 Jesus says to him,
        Have I been so long time with you, and yet have Thou not known Me Philip?
        He who having seen Me, has seen the Father; and how say Thou [then], Show us the Father?
Joh 14:10 Believe Thou not that I [AM] in the Father, and the Father in Me?
        The sayings that I speak to you, I speak not from Myself: but the Father that abiding in Me,
        He does the works.
Joh 14:11 Believe Me that I [AM] in the Father, and the Father in Me: otherwise for the very works' sake believe Me.
Joh 14:12 Amen, Amen I say to you, He who believing into Me, also the works that I do shall he do;
        and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go to My Father!
Joh 14:13 And whatever ye may ask in My name, that I shall do,
        that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Joh 14:14 If ye may ask anything in My name, I shall do.
Joh 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My Commandments.
Joh 14:16 {The Comforter}.
        And I shall pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter,
        that may be abide with you forever;
Joh 14:17 the Spirit of Truth, whom cannot receive because it does not see It nor know It,
        for It abides with you and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I shall not leave you [as] orphans; I come to you.
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the World sees Me no more; but ye see Me:
        because I live, ye shall also live.
Joh 14:20 In that day ye shall know that I [AM] in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.
Joh 14:21 He who having My Commandments, and keeping them, he it is who loving Me:
        but he who loving Me, shall be loved by My Father,
        and I shall love him, and shall manifest Myself to him.
Joh 14:22
        Judas, not Iscariot, says to Him,
        Lord, what has happened that Thou should manifest Thyself to us, and not to the World?
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him,
        If anyone may love Me, he shall keep My word:
        and My Father shall love him, and we shall come to him,
        and shall make our abode with him.
Joh 14:24 He who loving Me not, keeps not My words:
        and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but that of the Father who sent Me.
Joh 14:25 These [things] I have spoken to you, abiding with you.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, [who is] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My name,
          He shall teach you all [things], and shall put all [things] to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.
Joh 14:27
        Peace I leave with you,
        My peace I give to you:
        not as the World gives, give I to you.
        Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Joh 14:28 Ye heard that I said to you,
        I go away, and come to you. If ye loved Me,
        ye would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father:
        for My Father is greater than I.
Joh 14:29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass,
        that when it has come to pass, ye may believe.
Joh 14:30 I shall no more talk much with you: for the ruler of this World comes, and has nothing in Me.
Joh 14:31 But that the World may know that I love the Father; and as the Father commanded Me,
        even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Joh 15:1 {Parable of the True Vine}.
        <I AM the true Vine>, and My <Father> is the <Husbandman>.
Joh 15:2 Every branch in Me that bearing not fruit,
        He takes it away; and every [branch] that bearing fruit,
        He cleanses it, that it may bear more fruit.
Joh 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.
Joh 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you.
        As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it may abide in the vine:
        no more can ye, except ye may abide in Me.
Joh 15:5 I AM the Vine, ye [are] the branches:
          he who abiding in Me, and I in him,
         the same brings forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.
Joh 15:6 If anyone may abide not in Me, he is cast out as the branch, and is withered:
        and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and it is burned.
Joh 15:7 If ye may abide in Me, and My sayings may abide in you, ye shall ask whatever ye may wish, and it shall be done to you.
Joh 15:8 In this is My Father glorified, that ye should bear much fruit; so shall ye become My disciples.
Joh 15:9 As the Father loved Me, I also loved you: abide ye in My love.
Joh 15:10 If ye may keep My Commandments, ye shall abide in My love;
        even as I have kept My Father's Commandments, and abide in His love.
Joh 15:11
        These [things] I have spoken to you, that My joy may abide in you, and [that] your joy may be full.
Joh 15:12 This is My Commandment, that <ye should love one another; as I loved you>.
Joh 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his soul for his friends.
Joh 15:14 Ye are My friends, if ye should do whatever I command you.
Joh 15:15 I call you no longer servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does:
        but I have called you friends; for all [things] that I have heard from My Father,
        I have made known to you.
Joh 15:16 Ye did not choose Me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
        and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatever ye may ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.
Joh 15:17 These [things] I command you, that ye should love one another.

Joh 15:18 {Hated by the World}.
        If the World hates you, ye know that it has hated Me first [before] you.
Joh 15:19 If ye were of the World, the World would love its own:
        but because ye are not of the World,
        but I have chosen you out of the World,
        therefore the World hates you.
Joh 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you,
        The servant is not greater than his Lord.
        If they have persecuted Me, they shall also persecute you:
        if they have kept My word, they shall keep also yours.
Joh 15:21 But all these [things] shall they do to you for My name's sake,
        because they have not known Him who having sent Me.
Joh 15:22 If I not came and spoke to them, they had not had sin:
        but now they have no cloak for their sin.
Joh 15:23 He who hating Me, hates also My Father.
Joh 15:24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man has done, they had not sin:
        but now they have seen, and also have hated: both Me and My Father.
Joh 15:25 But that the Word should be fulfilled that has been written in their Law,
        They hated Me without cause. [Psa 69:4 Psa 35:19]
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter should come, whom I shall send to you from the Father,
        the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, He shall testify concerning Me.
Joh 15:27 And ye also bear testimony, because ye are with Me from [the] beginning.
Joh 16:1 These [things] I have spoken to you, that ye may not be offended.
Joh 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues:
        <but [the] hour comes, that whoever kills you, may think that he does God service>.
Joh 16:3 And these [things] shall they do to you, <because they have not known the Father, nor Me>.
Joh 16:4
        But these [things] I have spoken to you, that when the hour should come, ye may remember that I told you of them.
        And these [things] I told not to you at [the] beginning, because I was with you.
Joh 16:5 But now I go to Him who having sent Me, and none of you asks Me, where goes Thou?
Joh 16:6 But because these [things] I have spoken to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Joh 16:7 But I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I should depart;
        for if I should not depart, the Comforter shall not come to you;
        but if I should depart, I shall send Him to you.
Joh 16:8 And He having come, He shall reprove the World of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment;
Joh 16:9 of sin, because they believe not on Me;
Joh 16:10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more;
Joh 16:11 of judgment, because the ruler of this World has been judged.
Joh 16:12 I have yet many [things] to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Joh 16:13 But when He{the Comforter} should come, the Spirit of Truth shall guide you into all the truth:
        for He shall not speak from Himself; but whatever He may hear,
        [that] shall He speak: and He shall show you things to come.
Joh 16:14 He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall show [it] to you.
Joh 16:15 All things that the Father has are Mine: therefore I said, that He shall take of Mine, and shall show [it] to you.

Joh 16:16 {Ye shall not see Me}.
        A little while, and ye do not see Me: and again,
        a little while, and ye shall see Me,
        because I go to the Father.
Joh 16:17 Then said [some] of His disciples among one another,
        What is this that He says to us,
        A little while, and ye do not see Me: and again,
        a little while, and ye shall see Me:
        and because I go to the Father?
Joh 16:18 They said therefore, What is this that He says,
        A little while? We have not known what He speaks.
Joh 16:19 Then Jesus knew that they would to ask him, and said to them,
        Do ye inquire with one another of that which I said,
        A little while, and ye do not see Me: and again,
        a little while, and ye shall see Me?

Joh 16:20 {End of tribulation}.
        Amen, Amen I say to you, that ye shall weep and shall lament,
        but the World shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall become into joy!
Joh 16:21 The woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come:
        but when she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the tribulation,
        for joy that a man was born into the World.
Joh 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow:
        but I shall see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
Joh 16:23 And in that day ye shall request Me nothing:
        Amen, Amen I say to you, that whatever ye may ask the Father in My name, He shall give [it] you!
Joh 16:24 Until now ye asked nothing in My name:
        ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Joh 16:25 {From the Father}.
        These [things] I have spoken to you in proverbs:
        but [the] hour comes when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs,
        but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father.
Joh 16:26 In that day ye shall ask in My name:
        and I say not to you, that I shall pray the Father for you:
Joh 16:27 for the Father Himself loves you, because ye have loved Me,
        and have believed that I came from God.
Joh 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and have come into the World:
        again, I leave the World, and go to the Father.
Joh 16:29 His disciples say to Him,
        Behold, now speak Thou plainly, and speak no proverb.
Joh 16:30 Now we have known that Thou have known all [things], and need not that anyone should ask Thee:
        by this we believe that Thou came from God.
Joh 16:31 Jesus answered them,
        Do ye now believe?
Joh 16:32 Behold, [the] hour comes, and now has come, that ye may be scattered each one to his own,
        and may leave Me alone: and yet I AM not alone, because the Father is with Me.
Joh 16:33 These [things] I have spoken to you, that in Me ye may have peace.
        In the World ye shall have tribulation,
        but be of good cheer: I have overcome the World.

Joh 17:1 {High Priestly Prayer}.
        These [things] spoke Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to Heaven, and said,
        Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee:
Joh 17:2 as Thou given Him authority over all flesh, that all which Thou have given Him, He should give to them everlasting life.
Joh 17:3 And this is everlasting life, that they may know Thee the only true God, and whom Thou sent, Jesus Christ.
Joh 17:4 I have glorified Thee on the Earth: I finished the work which Thou have given Me to do.
Joh 17:5 And now, Father, glorify Thou Me with Thyself, with the glory which I had with Thee, be before the World.
Joh 17:6 I have manifested Thy name to the men whom Thou have given to Me out of the World:
        Thy they were, and Thou have given them to Me; and they have kept Thy word.
Joh 17:7 Now they have known that all [things] whatever Thou have given Me are from Thee.
Joh 17:8 For the sayings which Thou have given to Me, I have given to them; and they received [them],
        and have known truly that I came from Thee, and they have believed that Thou did send Me.
Joh 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the World, but for them whom Thou have given to Me; for they are Thy,
Joh 17:10 and all Mine are Thy, and Thy are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
Joh 17:11 And now I AM no more in the World, but these are in the World,
        and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep in Thy own name those whom Thou have given to Me,
        that they may be one, as We.
Joh 17:12 When I was with them in the World, I kept them in Thy name: those whom Thou have given to Me I have kept,
        and none of them is lost except the <Son of Perdition>;
        that the Scripture should be fulfilled.
Joh 17:13 And now I come to Thee, and these [things] I speak in the World,
        that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
Joh 17:14 I have given to them Thy word; and the World has hated them,
        because they are not of the World, even as I AM not of the World.
Joh 17:15 I pray not that Thou should take them out of the World,
        but that Thou should keep them from the Evil.
Joh 17:16 They are not of the World, even as I AM not of the World.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them in Thy truth: Thy word is truth.
Joh 17:18 As Thou sent Me into the World, even so have I also sent them into the World.
Joh 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
Joh 17:20 And I neither for these alone; but for them also who shall believing into Me through their word.
Joh 17:21 That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, [are] in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be One in Us:
        that the World may believe that Thou sent Me.
Joh 17:22 And the glory which Thou have given to Me, I have given to them;
          that they may be one, even as We are One.
Joh 17:23 I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect into One;
          and that the World may know that Thou sent Me,
          and loved them as Thou loved Me.
Joh 17:24 Father, I will that they also whom Thou have given to Me where I AM;
         that they may be with Me and behold My glory which Thou have given to Me:
         for Thou loved Me before the foundation of the World.
Joh 17:25 Righteous Father, the World has not known Thee:
          but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou sent Me.
Joh 17:26 And I have declared to them Thy name, and shall declare [it]:
          that the love with which Thou loved Me, may be in them, and I in them.

Joh 18:1 {Gethsemane}.
        Jesus having said these [things], He went forth with His disciples over the brook Kidron,
        where was a garden, into which He entered, and His disciples.
Joh 18:2 {Arrest of Jesus}.
        And Judas also, who betrayed Him, had known the place: for Jesus often resorted there with His disciples.
Joh 18:3 Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees,
        comes there with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.
Joh 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all [things] that were coming upon Him, went forth, and said to them,
        Whom seek ye?
Joh 18:5 They answered Him,
        Jesus the Nazarene.
        Jesus says to them, I AM.
        And Judas also, who betrayed Him, had stood with them.
Joh 18:6 As soon then as He said to them, I AM,
        they went backward, and fell to the ground.
Joh 18:7 Then He asked them again,
        Whom seek ye?
        And they said,
        Jesus the Nazarene.
Joh 18:8 Jesus answered,
        I have told you that I AM:
        If therefore ye seek Me, let these go away:
Joh 18:9 that the saying should be fulfilled which He spoke,
        Of them whom Thou have given to Me, I have lost none.
Joh 18:10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the servant of the High Priest,
        and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
Joh 18:11 Then said Jesus to Peter,
        Put up Thy sword into the sheath: the cup which My Father has given Me, should I not drink it?
Joh 18:12 Then the band, and the tribune, and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound Him,
Joh 18:13 and led Him away to Annas first, (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was that year the High Priest).
Joh 18:14 Now Caiaphas was he who having counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should to perish for the people.
Joh 18:15 {Peter's denial 1}.
        And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple.
        But that disciple was known to the High Priest,
        and went in with Jesus into the palace of the High Priest.
Joh 18:16 But Peter had stood at the door outside.
        Then went out the other disciple who was known to the High Priest,
        and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
Joh 18:17 Then says the maid-servant that kept the door to Peter,
        Are not Thou also [one] of this man's disciples?
        He says, I am not.
Joh 18:18 And the servants and officers had stood there, having made a fire of coals; (for it was cold).
        And they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warmed himself.
Joh 18:19 {By Caiaphas}.
        The High Priest then asked Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His doctrine.
Joh 18:20 Jesus answered him,
        I spoke openly to the World; I ever taught in the synagogue and in the Temple,
        where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
Joh 18:21 Why do Thou ask Me?
         Ask them who having heard what I have said to them:
         behold, these have known what I have said.
Joh 18:22 And He having said these, one of the officers who stood by, struck Jesus with the palms, saying,
        Answer Thou so to the High Priest?
Joh 18:23 Jesus answered him,
        If I have spoken evilly, bear testimony of the evil: but if well, why beat Thou Me?
Joh 18:24 (Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest).
Joh 18:25 {Peter's denial 2}.
        And Simon Peter was standing and warmed himself.
        They said therefore to him,
        Are not Thou also [one] of His disciples?
        He denied [it], and said, I am not.
Joh 18:26 One of the servants of the High Priest (being the relative [of him] whose ear Peter cut off) says,
        Did not I see Thee in the garden with Him?
Joh 18:27 Peter then denied again, and immediately a cock crowed.

Joh 18:28 {By Pilate}.
        Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium{judgment-hall}:
        and it was early; and they themselves went not into the Praetorium{judgment-hall},
        lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the Passover.
Joh 18:29 Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
Joh 18:30 They answered and said to him,
        If He were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered Him up to Thee.
Joh 18:31 Then said Pilate to them,
        Take ye Him, and judge Him according to your Law.
        The Jews therefore said to him,
        It is not lawful for us to kill anyone.
Joh 18:32 That the word of Jesus should be fulfilled, which He spoke, signifying what death He was about to die.
Joh 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the Praetorium{judgment-hall} again, and called Jesus, and said to Him,
        Are Thou the King of the Jews?
Joh 18:34 Jesus answered him,
        Say Thou this thing from thyself, or did others tell it Thee concerning Me?
Joh 18:35 Pilate answered,
        Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests,
        have delivered Thee to Me: What have Thou done?
Joh 18:36 Jesus answered,
        My Kingdom is not of this World:
        if My Kingdom were of this World,
        then would My servants fight, that I might not be delivered to the Jews:
        but now is My Kingdom not from hence.
Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said to Him, are Thou then not a King?
        Jesus answered, Thou say that I AM a King.
        To this end was I born, and for this cause I have come into the World,
        that I may testify to the truth. Every one that being of the truth hears My voice.
Joh 18:38 Pilate says to Him, What is truth?
        And he having said this, he went out again to the Jews,
        and says to them, I find in Him no fault.
Joh 18:39 {Barabbas and Crucifixion of Jesus}.
        But it is a custom to you that I should release to you one at the Passover:
        will ye therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?
Joh 18:40 Then they all cried again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas!
        (Now Barabbas was a robber).
Joh 19:1
        Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [Him].
Joh 19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on His head,
        and they put on Him a purple robe,
Joh 19:3 and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck Him with their palms.
Joh 19:4 Pilate therefore went outside again, and says to them,
        Behold, I bring Him outside to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.
Joh 19:5 Then Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe.
        And [Pilate] says to them,
        Behold the Man!
Joh 19:6 When therefore the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out,
        saying, Crucify [Him], crucify [Him]!
        Pilate says to them,
        Take ye Him, and crucify [Him]: for I find no fault in Him.
Joh 19:7
        The Jews answered Him,
        We have a Law, and by our Law He ought to die,
        because He made Himself the Son of God.
Joh 19:8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
Joh 19:9 and went again into the Praetorium{judgment-hall}, and says to Jesus,
        Whence are Thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
Joh 19:10 Then says Pilate to Him, Speak Thou not to me?
         Have Thou not Known, that I have authority to crucify Thee, and I have authority to release Thee?
Joh 19:11 Jesus answered,
        Thou have no authority against Me; except it were given Thee from above:
        therefore he who delivering Me to Thee has the greater sin.
Joh 19:12 From thenceforth Pilate sought to release Him:
        but the Jews cried out,
        saying, If Thou let this man go, Thou are not the friend of Caesar.
        Whoever making Himself the King, speaks against Caesar.
Joh 19:13 [When] Pilate therefore having heard that saying,
        he brought Jesus outside, and sat down on the judgment-seat,
        in a place being called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
Joh 19:14
        And it was [the] preparation of the Passover,
        and about the sixth hour{Roman time}: and He says to the Jews,
        Behold your King!
Joh 19:15 But they cried out,
        Away [with Him], away [with Him], crucify Him!
        Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your King?
        The chief priests answered,
        We have no King except Caesar.
Joh 19:16
        Then therefore he delivered Him to them, that He might be crucified.
        And they took Jesus, and led [Him] away.
Joh 19:17 And He bearing His cross went forth into a place being called [the place] of a skull,
        which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha:
Joh 19:18 where they crucified Him,
        and two others with Him,
        on [one] side and the other side,
        and Jesus in the middle.
Joh 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross.
        And it was has been written,
        Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews.
Joh 19:20 Many of the Jews then read this title:
        for the place was near to the city where Jesus was crucified:
        and it has been written in Hebrew, Greek, [and] Latin.
Joh 19:21 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.
Joh 19:22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.
Joh 19:23
        Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments,
        and made four parts, to every soldier a part;
        and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Joh 19:24 Therefore they said among one another,
        Let us not rent it, but cast lots for it to find whose it shall be (that the Scripture should be fulfilled which saying,
        They divided My garments among them, and they cast a lot for My clothing).
        Therefore indeed, the soldiers did these [things]. [Psa 22:18]
Joh 19:25 Now there had stood by the cross of Jesus,
        His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
Joh 19:26 When Jesus therefore seeing His mother, and the disciple standing by, whom He loved, He says to His mother,
        Woman, behold Thy son!
Joh 19:27 Then He says to the disciple,
        Behold Thy mother!
        And from that hour that disciple took her to his own [home].
Joh 19:28
        After this, Jesus knowing that all [things] were now has been finished, that the Scripture should be fulfilled,
        says, I thirst.
Joh 19:29 Then 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.
Joh 19:30 When Jesus therefore received the vinegar,
        He said, It has been finished:
        and He bowed His head, and expired.
Joh 19:31
        The Jews therefore, because it was [the] preparation{before the 15th of the first month},
         that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the {annual} Sabbath,
        (for that Sabbath was a great day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
Joh 19:32 Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with Him.
Joh 19:33 But when they having come to Jesus, and saw that He was dead already, they broke not His legs.
Joh 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and immediately came out blood and water.
Joh 19:35 And he who having seen has testified, and his testimony is true:
          and he has known that he speaks truth, that ye may believe.
Joh 19:36 For these [things] came, that the Scripture should be fulfilled, no bone shall be broken of Him. [Exo 12:46 Num 9:12 Psa 34:20]
Joh 19:37 And again another Scripture says, they shall look to whom they pierced. [Zec 12:10]
Joh 19:38 {Buried in the Tomb}.
        And after this, Joseph of Arimathaea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews);
        besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him permission.
        He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.
Joh 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus (who having come at the first to Jesus by night);
        and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred litras.
Joh 19:40 Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen clothes, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
Joh 19:41 Now in the place where He was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new Tomb,
        in which was never man yet laid.
Joh 19:42 There therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.

Joh 20:1 {Resurrection of Jesus}.
        [At] the First of the Weeks comes Mary Magdalene, [Lev 23:15-16]
        early, being yet [in] darkness, to the Tomb,
        and sees the stone taken away from the Tomb.
Joh 20:2 Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter,
        and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them,
        They have taken away the Lord out of the Tomb,
        and we have not known where they have laid Him.
Joh 20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the Tomb.
Joh 20:4 But they ran two together: and the other disciple ran [more] quickly than Peter, and came first to the Tomb.
Joh 20:5 And he stooping down, sees the linen clothes lying; however, he went not in.
Joh 20:6 Then comes Simon Peter following him,
        and went into the Tomb, and sees the linen clothes lying;
Joh 20:7 and the handkerchief that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes,
        but wrapped together in one place by itself.
Joh 20:8 Then went in also the other disciple who having come first to the Tomb,
        and he saw, and believed.
Joh 20:9 For as yet they had not known the Scripture, that it must for Him to rise from [the] dead. [Psa 16:10]
Joh 20:10 Then the disciples went away again to their own home.
Joh 20:11
        But Mary had stood outside at the Tomb weeping: then as she wept she stooped down [to look] into the Tomb,
Joh 20:12 and sees two Angels in white,
        sitting, the one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid.
Joh 20:13 And they say to her,
        Woman, why weep Thou? She says to them,
        Because they have taken away my Lord,
        and I have not known where they have laid Him.
Joh 20:14 And she having said these, she turned herself about, and sees Jesus standing, and had not known that it is Jesus.
Joh 20:15 Jesus says to her,
          Woman, why weep Thou? Whom seek Thou?
        She, supposing Him is the gardener, says to Him,
        Lord, if Thou did bear Him hence, tell Me where Thou have laid Him, and I shall take Him away.
Joh 20:16 Jesus says to her,
        Mary. She turned herself, and says to Him, Rabboni, which is said, Master.
Joh 20:17 Jesus says to her,
        Touch Me not: for I have not yet ascended to My Father: but go to My brethren, [Joh 20:27]
        and say to them, I ascend to My Father and your Father, and [to] My God and your God. [Luk 24:39]
Joh 20:18 Mary Magdalene comes and telling the disciples that she has seen the Lord,
        and [that] He said these [things] to her.

Joh 20:19 {Thomas doubts}.
        Then being evening on that day, the First of the Weeks, [Lev 23:15-16]
        when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,
        Jesus came and stood in the middle,
        and says to them, Peace [be] to you.
Joh 20:20 And He having said this, He showed to them [His] hands and His side.
        Then the disciples rejoiced, they having seen the Lord.
Joh 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] to you:
        as My Father has sent Me, I also send you.
Joh 20:22 And He having said this, He breathed [on them], and says to them,
        Receive ye [the] Holy Spirit.
Joh 20:23 Of whomsoever sins ye may remit, they are remitted to them;
          of whomsoever [sins] ye may retain, they have been retained.
Joh 20:24
        But Thomas, one of the twelve, being called Didymus,
        was not with them when Jesus came.
Joh 20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him,
        We have seen the Lord.
        But he said to them,
        Except I may 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 shall not believe.
Joh 20:26 And after eight days again His disciples were within,
        and Thomas with them: [then] comes Jesus,
        the doors being shut, and stood in the middle,
        and said, Peace [be] to you.
Joh 20:27 Then He says to Thomas,
        Reach here Thy finger, and behold My hands;
        and reach here Thy hand, and thrust [it] into My side;
        and be not faithless, but faithful.
Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said to Him,
        My Lord and my God.
Joh 20:29 Jesus says to him,
        Thomas, because Thou have seen Me, Thou have believed.
        Blessed [are] they that not having seen, and [yet] have believed!
Joh 20:30
        Then indeed many other signs did Jesus also in the presence of His disciples,
        which are not written in this Book.
Joh 20:31 But these has been written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ{Messiah}, the Son of God,
        and that believing ye may have life in His name.

Joh 21:1 {Catching hundred fifty three fishes}.
        After these Jesus was manifested again to the disciples upon the sea of Tiberias:
        and in this manner did He show [Himself].
Joh 21:2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas being called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee,
        and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples.
Joh 21:3 Simon Peter says to them, I go a fishing.
        They say to Him, We also go with Thee.
        They went forth, and went up into the ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
Joh 21:4 But it becoming morning now, Jesus stood on the shore:
         however, the disciples had not known that it is Jesus.
Joh 21:5 Then Jesus says to them, children, have ye any snack?
        They answered Him, No.
Joh 21:6 But He said to them,
        Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore,
        and they were no more able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
Joh 21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter,
        It is the Lord.
        Now when Simon Peter having heard that it is the Lord,
        he girded on [his] fisher's coat, (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea.
Joh 21:8 And the other disciples came in a boat (for they were not far from land,
        but as it were two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fishes.
Joh 21:9 When therefore they came away to the land,
        they see a fire of coals there, and small fish laid upon them, and bread.
Joh 21:10 Jesus says to them,
        Bring of the small fish which ye have now caught.
Joh 21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred fifty three:
        and [though] being so many, the net was not rent.
Joh 21:12 Jesus says to them,
        Come [and] dine. And none of the disciples dared to ask Him, Who are Thou?
        Knowing that it is the Lord.
Joh 21:13 Jesus then comes, and takes bread,
        and gives them, and likewise small fish.

Joh 21:14 {Feed My sheep}.
        This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to His disciples, after He having risen from the dead.
Joh 21:15 Then when they dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter,
        Simon [son] of Jonah, love Thou Me more than these?
        He says to Him, Yes, Lord: Thou have known that I love Thee.
        He says to him, Feed My lambs.
Joh 21:16 He says to him again the second time,
        Simon [son] of Jonah, love Thou Me?
        He says to Him, Yes, Lord: Thou have known that I love Thee.
        He says to him, Shepherd My sheep.
Joh 21:17 He says to him the third time,
        Simon [son] of Jonah, love Thou Me?
        Peter was grieved, because He said to him the third time, Love Thou Me?
        And he said to Him, Lord, Thou have known all [things]; Thou know that I love Thee.
        Jesus says to him, Feed My sheep.

Joh 21:18 {The Great Commission}.
        Amen, Amen I say to Thee, When Thou were young,
        Thou did gird thyself and walk where Thou would: but when Thou may be old,
        Thou shall stretch out Thy hands, and another shall gird Thee, and shall carry [Thee] where Thou would not!
Joh 21:19 But this He said, signifying by what death He shall glorify God.
        And He having said this, He says to him, Follow Me.
Joh 21:20
        But Peter turned, [and] sees the disciple whom Jesus loved, following;
        who also leaned on His breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he who betraying Thee?
Joh 21:21 Peter seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what [shall] this man [do]?
Joh 21:22 Jesus says to him, If I will that he may tarry until I come, what [is that] to Thee?
        Follow Thou Me.
Joh 21:23 Then this saying went abroad among the brethren, that this disciple not dies: yet Jesus said not to him,
        That he not dies; but if I will that he may tarry until I come, what [is that] to Thee?
Joh 21:24 This is the disciple who testifies of these [things], and wrote these [things]: and we have known that his testimony is true.
Joh 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written every one,
        I suppose that even the World itself could not have room for the books being written. Amen!

Act 1:1 [Scroll 27 Acts of the Apostles].
        {Prologue Acts}.
        The first account I made of all, indeed O Theophilus, and that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Act 1:2 until the day on which, giving commandments by [the] Holy Spirit to the apostles;
        whom He has chosen, He was taken up.
Act 1:3 To whom also He showed Himself alive after His suffering, by many facts, being seen by them forty days,
        and saying of the things about the Kingdom of God:
Act 1:4 and He being assembled with them, commanded them [that] they should not depart from Jerusalem,
        but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said He], ye heard from Me.
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in [the] Holy Spirit after not many days.
Act 1:6 {The Great Commission Acts}.
        Therefore indeed, they were come together, they asked of Him,
        saying, Lord, restore Thou at this time the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,
        which the Father placed in His own authority.
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to Me,
        both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to [the] ends of the Earth.
Act 1:9 {Ascension of Jesus Acts}.
        And He having said these, while they beheld, He was taken up;
        and a cloud received Him out of their eyes.
Act 1:10 And while they were staring towards Heaven as He went up,
        and behold, two men had stood by them in white clothing;
Act 1:11 who also said, Men, Galileans, why ye have stood gazing up to Heaven?
        This Jesus who having been taken from you into Heaven,
        so shall come in like manner as ye saw Him going into Heaven.
Act 1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the Mount being called Olivet{Olives},
        which is near from Jerusalem: having a Sabbath day's journey.

Act 1:13 {Replacement of Judas Iscariot}.
        And when they came in, they went up into the upper room, they were remaining; both Peter, and James,
        and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew,
        James [the son] of Alpheus, and Simon Zealot, and Judas [the brother] of James.
Act 1:14 These all were continuing unanimously in prayer and supplication,
        with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Act 1:15
        And in those days Peter rising up in the middle of the disciples, and said,
        (and the multitude of names together was about a hundred twenty).
Act 1:16 Men, brethren, This Scripture must be fulfilled,
        which the Holy Spirit by [the] mouth of David forewarned concerning Judas,
        who was guide to them that took Jesus.
Act 1:17 For he was having been numbered with us, and obtained a part of this ministry.
Act 1:18 Then indeed this man procured a field with the reward of unrighteousness; and falling headlong,
        he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Act 1:19 And it became known to all that dwelling at Jerusalem;
        so that that field to be called in their own language, Aceldama, that is, field of blood.
Act 1:20 For it has been written in the Book of Psalms,
        Let his habitation be desolate, and let be none dwelling in it: [Psa 69:25]
        and let another take his overseership{bishop}. [Psa 109:8]
Act 1:21 Therefore, of these men who accompanied us, all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Act 1:22 beginning from the baptism of John, until the day in which He was taken up from us,
        must of these to become a witness with us of his resurrection.
Act 1:23 And they appointed two, Joseph being called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Act 1:24 And they prayed, and said,
        Thou, Lord, knowner of all hearts, show which one of these two Thou have chosen,
Act 1:25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship,
        from which Judas by transgression fell, to go to [his] own place.
Act 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias;
        and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Act 2:1 {The Holy Spirit on Pentecost}.
        And in the fulfilling of the day of Pentecost{Festival of Weeks},
        they were all unanimously together.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from the Heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind,
        and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 And there appeared to them, divided tongues as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them.
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with [the] Holy Spirit,
        and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them to declare.
Act 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under Heaven.
Act 2:6 Now when it becoming noisy, the multitude came together,
        and were confounded, because every one heard them speak in his own language.
Act 2:7 And they were all astonished, and marvelled, saying one to another,
        Behold, are not all these who speaking Galileans?
Act 2:8 And how do we hear every one in our own language, (in which we were born)?
Act 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those who dwelling in Aram-naharaim, both Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Act 2:10 both Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and Proselytes,
Act 2:11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speak in our tongues the great things of God.
Act 2:12 And they were all astounded, and were in doubt, saying one to another,
        What will this be?
Act 2:13 Others mocking, said,
        They are full of sweet wine.
Act 2:14 {First sermon of Peter}.
        But Peter having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and declared to them,
        Ye Jewish men, and all who dwelling at Jerusalem,
        let this be known to you, and listen to My sayings:
Act 2:15 for these are not drunken,
        as ye suppose, for it is [but] the third hour{circa 9 AM} of the day.
Act 2:16
        But this is that which has been spoken through the prophet Joel,
Act 2:17 and it shall be in the Last Days, says GOD,
         I shall 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 elders shall dream dreams: [Joe 2:28]
Act 2:18 and yet on My servants, and on My female servants,
         I shall in those days, pour out of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy. [Joe 2:29]
Act 2:19 And I shall give wonders in the Heaven above, and signs on the Earth beneath; blood,
        and fire, and vapour of smoke. [Joe 2:30]
Act 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
        before that great and notable Day of the LORD [is] to come. [Joe 2:31]
Act 2:21 And it shall be, [that] whoever may call on the name of the LORD, shall be saved. [Joe 2:32]
Act 2:22 Men, Israelites, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarene,
        a Man approved by God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
        which God did through Him in the middle of you, as ye yourselves also have known:
Act 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of GOD,
        ye having taken, and by lawless hands have crucified and killed:
Act 2:24 whom God has raised up, having loosed the pangs of death:
        because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Act 2:25 For David says concerning Him,
        I foresaw the LORD always before Me,
        for He is on My right [hand], that I may not be moved: [Psa 16:8]
Act 2:26 therefore did My heart rejoice, and My tongue was glad;
        moreover, My flesh shall rest in hope: [Psa 16:9]
Act 2:27 because Thou shall not leave My soul in Hades,
        neither shall Thou give Thy Holy [One] to see corruption. [Psa 16:10]
Act 2:28 Thou have made known to Me [the] ways of life;
        Thou shall make Me full of joy with Thy countenance. [Psa 16:11]
Act 2:29 Men, brethren, It is permitted to speak with boldness to you concerning the patriarch David,
        that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us until this day.
Act 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God swore to him with an oath,
        that from the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh,
        He shall to raise up the Christ{Messiah} to sit upon His throne; [Psa 132:11]
Act 2:31 He foreseeing, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ{Messiah},
        that His soul was not left in Hades, neither did His flesh see corruption. [Psa 16:10]
Act 2:32 This Jesus has God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
Act 2:33 Therefore being by the right [hand] of God exalted,
        and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit,
        He has poured out this, which ye now see and hear.
Act 2:34 For David did not ascend into the Heavens, but he says himself,
        The LORD said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right [hand], [Psa 110:1]
Act 2:35 until I make Thy enemies Thy stool of Thy feet. [Psa 110:1]
Act 2:36 Therefore let all [the] House of Israel know assuredly,
        that God has made Him both Lord and Christ{Messiah}, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
Act 2:37
        But [when] they having heard [this], they were pricked in their heart,
        and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men, brethren, what shall we do?
Act 2:38 But Peter said to them,
        Repent, and be baptized every one of you on the name of Jesus Christ,
        for forgiveness of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Act 2:39 For the promise is to you, and to your children,
        and to all that are afar off, as many as the LORD our God may call.
Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort,
        saying, Be saved from this crooked generation.
Act 2:41 Therefore indeed, they that gladly received his word, were baptized:
        and the [same] day there were added [to them] about three thousand souls.
Act 2:42 And they were continuing steadfastly in the doctrine of the apostles,
        and communion, and in breaking of bread, and in the prayers.
Act 2:43
        And reverence came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
Act 2:44 And all that believing were together, and had all [things] common;
Act 2:45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them to all, as every [man] had need.
Act 2:46 And they, continuing daily unanimously in the Temple,
        and breaking bread{eating} from house to house, ate their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
Act 2:47 praising God, and having grace with all the people.
        And the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the Church.

Act 3:1 {The lame man by the Temple}.
        Now Peter and John went up together into the Temple,
        at the hour of prayer, [being] the ninth [hour]{circa 3 PM}.
Act 3:2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb being carried,
        whom they laid daily at the door of the Temple:
        (being called Beautiful), to ask alms from them that entering into the Temple.
Act 3:3 Who, seeing Peter and John being about to go into the Temple, asked [to receive] alms.
Act 3:4 And Peter staring upon him with John, said, Look on us.
Act 3:5 And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
Act 3:6 But Peter said,
        Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have I give Thee:
        in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.
Act 3:7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up:
        and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Act 3:8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the Temple,
        walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Act 3:9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
Act 3:10 and they recognized him, that this was he sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple:
        and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which happened to him.
Act 3:11 {Second sermon of Peter}.
        And as the lame man who having been healed holding Peter and John,
        all the people ran together to them in the porch that being called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
Act 3:12 But when Peter seeing [it], he answered to the people,
        Men, Israelites, why marvel ye at this? Or why ye stare on us,
        as though by our own power or godliness we have made him to walk?
Act 3:13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers has glorified His Servant Jesus;
        whom ye delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate,
        when he was determined to let [Him] go.
Act 3:14 But ye denied the Holy and Just [One], and desired a murderer to be granted to you,
Act 3:15 and killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead; of which we are witnesses.
Act 3:16 And on the faith of His name, has made this man strong, whom ye see and have known:
        yet the faith which is through Him, gave Him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Act 3:17 And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance ye did [it], as [did] also your rulers.
Act 3:18 But God announced this by the mouth of all His prophets,
        that the Christ{Messiah} should suffer, He has so fulfilled.
Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,
        that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
Act 3:20 and He may send Jesus Christ, who before was preached to you:
Act 3:21 whom the Heaven must receive, until the times of restitution of all [things],
        which God has spoken by the mouth of all His Holy prophets, since the Age{World} began.
Act 3:22 For Moses truly said to the fathers,
        A Prophet from among of Thee, shall the LORD Thy God raise up to Thee of Thy brethren like to me; [to] Him shall ye listen. [Deu 18:15]
        (in all [things], whatever He may say to you).
Act 3:23 And it shall be, [that] every soul who may not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Act 3:24 And all the prophets also from Samuel, and those that follow, as many as have spoken, have also announced these days.
Act 3:25 Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the Covenant which GOD made with our fathers,
        saying to Abraham, And in Thy seed all the families of the Earth shall be blessed. [Gen 12:3 Gen 28:14]
Act 3:26 To you first, God having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you,
        in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.

Act 4:1 {Discussion by the Sanhedrin}.
        And as they were speaking to the people, came upon them the priests, and the captain of the Temple, and the Sadducees,
Act 4:2 being grieved that they taught the people, and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Act 4:3 And they laid hands on them, and put [them] in custody for the morrow: for it was now evening.
Act 4:4 But many of them who heard the word, believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
Act 4:5
        And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
Act 4:6 and Annas the High Priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander,
        and as many as were of the kindred of the High Priest, were assembled at Jerusalem.
Act 4:7 And they having set them in the middle, they inquired, By what power, or by what name have ye done this?
Act 4:8 Then Peter, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, said to them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Act 4:9 if we today are examined concerning the good deed to the sick man, by what means he is made whole.
Act 4:10 Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified,
        whom God raised from the dead, in Him has this [Man] stood by before you whole.
Act 4:11 This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, for which has become [the] head of [the] corner. [Psa 118:22]
Act 4:12 And the Salvation is in no other: because there is no other name under Heaven given among men, by which it must [for us] to be saved.
Act 4:13 Now when they seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they are unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled;
        and they took knowledge of them, that they were with Jesus.
Act 4:14 And beholding the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to refute.
Act 4:15 But they having commanded them to withdraw from the council, they conferred among one another,
Act 4:16 saying, What shall we do to these men?
        For that indeed a notable sign has come to pass by them [is] manifest to all those that dwelling in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny [it].
Act 4:17 But that it may spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.
Act 4:18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Act 4:19 But Peter and John answering, said to them,
         If it is right in the sight of GOD to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye.
Act 4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
Act 4:21 But they having further threatened them, they let them go,
        finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people:
        for all glorified God for that which having happened.
Act 4:22 For the man was above forty years [old] on whom this sign of healing had become [done].

Act 4:23 {Prayer for boldness}.
        And being dismissed, they came to their own company,
        and reported how much that the chief priests and elders said to them.
Act 4:24 But [when] they having heard, [and] they lifted up their voice to God unanimously, and said,
        Master, Thou [are] God, who have made the Heaven, and the Earth, and the sea, and all that is in them;
Act 4:25 who, by [the] mouth of Thy servant David having said,
        Why did the nations rage,
        and the peoples meditated vain things? [Psa 2:1]
Act 4:26 The kings of the Earth stood up,
        and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD,
        and against His Christ{Messiah}, [Psa 2:2]
Act 4:27 for in truth against Thy Holy Servant Jesus, whom Thou have anointed,
        both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, were assembled,
Act 4:28 to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel predetermined to happen.
Act 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant to Thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak Thy word,
Act 4:30 by Thee to stretch out Thy hand to healing; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of Thy Holy Servant Jesus.
Act 4:31 And they having prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled;
        and they were all filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of GOD with boldness.

Act 4:32 {Sharing of goods}.
        And the multitude of them that having believed, the heart and the soul were one:
        and no one said that any of the goods be his own; but all [things] were to them common.
Act 4:33 And with great power the apostles gave testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Act 4:34 There was neither any among them that was in want:
        for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that being sold,
Act 4:35 and laid [them] down at the feet of the apostles: and was distributed to every man according as he had need.
Act 4:36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,
        (which is being translated, The son of consolation),
        a Levite, [and] a Cypriot by nation,
Act 4:37 having land, sold [it], and brought the money, and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
Act 5:1 {Ananias and Sapphira}.
        But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Act 5:2 and embezzled [part] of the price,
        (his wife also having considered [to it]) and brought a certain part, and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
Act 5:3 But Peter said,
        Ananias, Why has Satan filled Thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit,
        and to embezzle [part] of the price of the land?
Act 5:4 While remaining, did it not remain to Thee?
        And having been sold, was it in Thy own authority?
        Why have Thou conceived this thing in Thy heart?
        Thou have not lied to men, but to God.
Act 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and expired.
        And great fear came on all them that heard these [things].
Act 5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Act 5:7 And it came to pass, about three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what coming to pass, came in.
Act 5:8 And Peter answered to her,
        Tell me if ye sold the land for so much?
        And she said, Yes, for so much.
Act 5:9 But Peter said to her,
        Why is it, that you agreed to tempt the Spirit of the LORD?
        Behold the feet of them who have buried Thy husband [are] at the door, and shall carry Thee out.
Act 5:10 Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired.
        And the young men came in, and found her dead, and carrying [her] forth, buried [her] by her husband.
Act 5:11 And great fear came upon all the Church, and upon as many as heard these [things].

Act 5:12 {The apostles healing the people}.
        And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people;
        (and they were all unanimously in Solomon's porch.
Act 5:13 And of the rest dared no one join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
Act 5:14 And more believing [people] were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women).
Act 5:15 So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid [them] on couches and beds,
        that even if the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
Act 5:16 There came also the multitude [out] of the cities around to Jerusalem, bringing sick [persons],
        and them who being afflicted by unclean spirits: and they were healed all.

Act 5:17 {The apostles are persecuted}.
        Then the High Priest having risen, and all they that were with him; (being of the sect of the Sadducees) and were filled with indignation,
Act 5:18 and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
Act 5:19 But an Angel of the LORD by night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth, and said,
Act 5:20 Go, stand and speak in the Temple to the people all the sayings of this life.
Act 5:21
        But [when] they having heard [that], they entered into the Temple by the daybreak, and taught.
        But the High Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together,
        and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Act 5:22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
Act 5:23 saying, The prison truly we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing outside;
        before the doors: but we having opened, we found no one inside.
Act 5:24 Now when the priest, and the captain of the Temple, and the chief priests heard these [things],
        they doubted of them to what this would come.
Act 5:25 Then came one and told them, saying,
        Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the Temple, and teaching the people.
Act 5:26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them; not with violence: for they feared the people,
        lest they should have been stoned.
Act 5:27 But they having brought them, they set [them] before the council: and the High Priest asked them,
Act 5:28 saying, Did we not strictly command you, that ye should not teach in this name?
        And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
Act 5:29 But Peter and the [other] apostles answering, said,
        We ought to obey God rather than men.
Act 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye killed, having hanged on a tree:
Act 5:31 Him has God exalted [as] Author and a Saviour to His right [hand], to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Act 5:32 And we are His witnesses of these sayings; and [so is] also the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them that obey Him.
Act 5:33 But [when] they having heard, [and] they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them.
Act 5:34
        Then having risen one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel,
        a Law-teacher, had in reputation among all the people,
        and commanded to put the apostles outside a little while;
Act 5:35 and said to them,
        Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do concerning these men:
Act 5:36 for before these days rose Theudas, saying himself to be someone; to whom a number of men,
        about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered,
        and came to nothing.
Act 5:37 After this man rose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the registration, and drew away much people after him: he also perished;
        and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Act 5:38 And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone:
        for if this counsel or this work is from men, it shall be broken:
Act 5:39 but if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it;
        lest perhaps ye be found even to fight against God!
Act 5:40
        And to him they assented: and they having called the apostles,
        and they having beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Act 5:41 Therefore indeed, they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonoured for His name.
Act 5:42 And daily in the Temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach the Gospel of Jesus the Christ{Messiah}.

Act 6:1 {The Seven Deacons}.
        And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied,
        there came a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews,
        because their widows were neglected in the daily ministry.
Act 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples,
        and said, It is not pleasing for us, having left the word of God, to serve tables.
Act 6:3 Therefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men being well reported,
        full of [the] Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint over this business.
Act 6:4 But we shall give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
Act 6:5 And the saying pleased before the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen,
        a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit,
        and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
Act 6:6 whom they set before the apostles: and they having prayed, they laid [their] hands on them.
Act 6:7 And the Word of GOD increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly;
        a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Act 6:8
        And Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
Act 6:9 Then there arose some of the synagogue, being called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians,
        and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, discussing with Stephen.
Act 6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Act 6:11 Then they suborned men, who said,
        We have heard him speaking blasphemous sayings against Moses and God.
Act 6:12 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,
Act 6:13 and set up false witnesses, who said,
        This man does not cease speaking blasphemous sayings against this Holy place, and the Law:
Act 6:14 for we have heard him saying,
        that this Jesus the Nazarene shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which [are] delivered to us [by] Moses.
Act 6:15 And all that sat in the council, staring on him, saw his face as it were the face of an Angel.
Act 7:1 {Sermon of Stephen}.
        Then said the High Priest, if then these [things] are so?
Act 7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, listen;
        The God of the glory appeared to our father Abraham,
        being in Aram-naharaim, before he dwelt in Haran,
Act 7:3 and said to him,
        Depart from Thy land, Thy kindred, come, to a land that I shall show Thee. [Gen 12:1]
Act 7:4 Then he came from the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Haran.
        And from thence, after the death of his father,
        he exiled him into this land in which ye now dwell.
Act 7:5 And He gave him no inheritance in it, even 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. [Gen 17:8 Gen 48:4]
Act 7:6 But God spoke on this wise, that his seed shall be stranger in a foreign land;
        and that they shall bring the same into bondage, and shall treat [them] ill four hundred years. [Gen 15:13]
Act 7:7 And the nation to whom they may be in bondage shall i judge, said God:
        and after these they shall come out, and shall serve me in this place. [Gen 15:14]
Act 7:8 And He gave him the Covenant of Circumcision.
        And so [he] begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day;
        and Isaac [begot] Jacob, and Jacob [begot] the twelve patriarchs.
Act 7:9 And the patriarchs, having been jealous, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Act 7:10 and delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt;
        and he appointed him for leading over Egypt, and all his house.
Act 7:11 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan,
        and great affliction; and our fathers found no sustenance.
Act 7:12 But when Jacob having heard that there being wheat in Egypt, he sent out first our fathers.
Act 7:13 And at the second [time] Joseph was made known to his brethren:
        and Joseph's kindred became manifest to Pharaoh.
Act 7:14 But Joseph sent, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, in total seventy five souls{for both groups 5+70}.
Act 7:15 But Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
Act 7:16 and were carried over into Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham,
        bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor [the father] of Shechem.
Act 7:17 But when the time of the promise drew near, which God swore to Abraham,
        the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Act 7:18 until there arose another king, who had not known Joseph. [Exo 1:8]
Act 7:19 The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and ill-treated our fathers,
        so that they cast out their infants, to the end they might not live.
Act 7:20 In which time Moses was born, and was beautiful to GOD{exceeding}, and nourished in his father's house three months:
Act 7:21 and he having expounded, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Act 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in works.
Act 7:23 And when he was full forty years [old], it arose into his heart to visit his brethren the sons of Israel.
Act 7:24 And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that being oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
Act 7:25 for he supposed his brethren to understand that God through his hand gives them Salvation: but they not understood.
Act 7:26 And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and have constrained them to be at peace, saying,
        Men, ye are brethren: why do ye wrong one to another?
Act 7:27 But he who doing wrong to his neighbour, thrust him away, saying,
        Who made Thee a ruler and a judge over us? [Exo 2:14]
Act 7:28 Will Thou not kill me, as Thou killed the Egyptian yesterday? [Exo 2:14]
Act 7:29 Then Moses fled at this saying,
        and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
Act 7:30 And forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai,
        an Angel of the LORD in a flame of fire in a bush. [Exo 3:2]
Act 7:31 When Moses seeing [it], he marvelled at the vision; and as he drew near to behold,
        the voice of the LORD came to him, [saying],
Act 7:32 I [AM] the God of Thy fathers,
        the God of Abraham,
        and the God of Isaac,
        and the God of Jacob.
        Then Moses trembled, and dared not behold. [Exo 3:6]
Act 7:33 But the LORD said to him,
        Loose Thy shoes from Thy feet: for the place where Thou have stood is Holy ground. [Exo 3:5]
Act 7:34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt,
        and I have heard their groaning, and came down to deliver them.
        And now come here, I shall send Thee into Egypt. [Exo 3:7-8]
Act 7:35 This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made Thee a ruler and a judge? [Exo 2:14]
        The same did God send [to be] a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush. [Exo 3:2]
Act 7:36 He brought them out, after he had showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt,
        and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Act 7:37 This is that Moses, who having said to the sons of Israel,
        A Prophet shall the LORD your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; [to] Him shall ye listen. [Deu 18:15]
Act 7:38 This is he, that was in the Church in the wilderness with the Angel who speaking to him on the Mount Sinai,
        and [with] our fathers: who received the living Words to give to us:
Act 7:39 whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
Act 7:40 saying to Aaron, Make us GODS who shall go before us: for [as for] this Moses,
        who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened of him. [Exo 32:1 Exo 32:23]
Act 7:41 And they made a calf in those days, and they brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Act 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the Army of Heaven; as it has been written in the Book of the Prophets,
        Ye House of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices [during] forty years in the wilderness? [Amo 5:25]
Act 7:43 And yet, ye took up the Tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Chiun{Remphan},
        figures which ye made to worship them.
        And I shall exile you beyond Babylon. [Amo 5:26-27]
Act 7:44 The Tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness,
        as He appointed, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
Act 7:45 Which also our fathers, that came after, brought in with Joshua in the possession of the gentiles,
        whom God drove out from the face of our fathers, to the days of David;
Act 7:46 who found grace before God, and desired to find a Tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Act 7:47 But Solomon built Him a house.
Act 7:48 But the Most High dwells not in sanctuaries made with hands, as says the prophet,
Act 7:49 The Heaven [is] My throne, and the Earth [is] My stool of My feet:
        What house shall ye build for Me? Says the LORD: or what [is] the place of My rest? [Isa 66:1]
Act 7:50 Has not My hand made all these [things]? [Isa 66:2]
Act 7:51 Ye stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears,
        ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers [did], also [do] ye.
Act 7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?
        And they killed them who having announced the coming of the Just [One];
        of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers;
Act 7:53 who received the Law by the disposition of Angels, and have not kept [it].
Act 7:54 {Martyrdom of Stephen}.
        But hearing these [things], they were cut to the hearts, and they gnashed on him with [their] teeth.
Act 7:55 But he, being full of [the] Holy Spirit,
        staring into Heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on [the] right [hand] of God,
Act 7:56 and said,
        Behold, I see the Heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on [the] right [hand] of God.
Act 7:57 Then they cried out with a great voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him unanimously,
Act 7:58 and cast him out of the city, and stoned him:
        and the witnesses laid down their garments at a young man's feet, whose being called Saul.
Act 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon, and saying,
        Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Act 7:60 And he kneeled down and cried with a great voice,
        Lord, Thou should not lay this sin to their charge. And he having said this, he fell asleep.
Act 8:1 And Saul was consenting to his death.
        {Persecution against the Church}.
        And it came to pass on that day there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Jerusalem;
        and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Act 8:2 And devout men carried Stephen [to his burial], and made great lamentation over him.
Act 8:3 But Saul made havoc of the Church, entering into every house, and hauling men and women committed [them] to prison.
Act 8:4 {Philip the Evangelist}.
        Therefore indeed, they that were dispersed went everywhere preaching the Gospel; the Word.
Act 8:5 Then Philip having went down to a city of Samaria, and preached to them the Christ{Messiah}.
Act 8:6 And the multitudes unanimously gave heed to the [things] being spoken by Philip,
        hearing and seeing the signs which he performed.
Act 8:7 For many of those who having unclean spirits came out, crying with a great voice:
        and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
Act 8:8 And there came great joy in that city.
Act 8:9 {Simon Magnus}.
        But there was a certain man named Simon, who before in the city used sorcery,
        and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be someone great:
Act 8:10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest,
        saying, This man is the great power of God.
Act 8:11 And they heeded him, because that for a long time he has amazed them with sorceries.
Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip, <preaching the Gospel; things concerning the Kingdom of God,
        and the name of Jesus Christ>, they were baptized both men and women.
Act 8:13 Then Simon himself also believed: and he having been baptized,
         he was continuing with Philip, beholding the miracles and great signs being done, they were amazed.
Act 8:14 But [when] the apostles who were at Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the Word of GOD, they sent to them Peter and John:
Act 8:15 who, having gone down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit:
Act 8:16 (for [the Spirit] had not yet fallen on any of them: only they were have been baptized in the name of the LORD Jesus).
Act 8:17 Then they laid [their] hands on them, and they received [the] Holy Spirit.
Act 8:18 But Simon having seen that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit is given, he offered them money,
Act 8:19 saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I may lay hands, he may receive [the] Holy Spirit.
Act 8:20 But Peter said to him, May Thy money in perdition with Thee, because Thou supposed to procure the gift of GOD with money.
Act 8:21 Neither part nor lot is to Thee in this matter: for Thy heart is not straight in the sight of GOD.
Act 8:22 Repent therefore of this Thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of Thy heart shall be forgiven Thee.
Act 8:23 For in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I see Thee being.
Act 8:24 But Simon answering, said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these [things] which ye have spoken may come upon me.
Act 8:25 Therefore indeed, they having testified and preached the word of the LORD, returned to Jerusalem,
        and preached the Gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

Act 8:26 {Philip the Evangelist baptized the eunuch}.
        And an Angel of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying,
        Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that descending from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert.
Act 8:27 And he standing up, and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia,
        a powerful eunuch under Candace queen of the Ethiopians,
        who was [treasurer] of all her treasure, who had come [and] shall worshipping in Jerusalem,
Act 8:28 was returning; and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Act 8:29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, Come near and join thyself to this chariot.
Act 8:30 And Philip ran there to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah,
        and said, then know Thou what Thou read?
Act 8:31 But he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?
        And he desired Philip that he having come up, to sit with him.
Act 8:32 But the place of the Scripture which he read was this,
        He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
        and like a Lamb silent before his shearer,
        so He opened not His mouth: [Isa 53:7]
Act 8:33 in His humiliation His judgment was taken away:
        and who shall declare His generation?
        For His life is taken from the Earth. [Isa 53:8]
Act 8:34
        But the eunuch answering Philip, and said,
        I pray Thee, of whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man?
Act 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth,
        and began from this Scripture, and preached the Gospel to him of Jesus.
Act 8:36 And as they were going along the way, they came to a certain water:
        and the eunuch says, Behold, [here is] water; what hinders me to be baptized?
Act 8:37 And Philip said, If Thou believe with all Thy heart, it is lawful.
        But he answering, said, I believe that Jesus Christ be the Son of God.
Act 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water,
        both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Act 8:39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD caught away Philip,
        that the eunuch saw him no more: for he went on his way rejoicing.
Act 8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus{Ashdod}: and passing through,
        he preached the Gospel in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

Act 9:1 {The conversion of Saul}.
        And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and murder against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the High Priest,
Act 9:2 and desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues,
        that if he should find any being of the way,
        both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Act 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus:
        and suddenly there shined around him a Light from Heaven;
Act 9:4 and he fell on the ground, and heard a voice saying to him,
        Saul, Saul, why persecute Thou Me?
Act 9:5 And he said,
        Who are Thou, Lord?
        And the Lord said, I AM Jesus whom Thou persecute.
        [It is] hard for Thee to kick against [the] goads. [Act 26:14]
Act 9:6 Both trembling and amazing, he said,
        Lord, what will Thou have me to do?
        And the Lord [said] to him,
        Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be spoken to Thee what Thou must do.
Act 9:7 And the men who journeyed with him had stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Act 9:8 And Saul was raised from the ground; and his eyes having been opened, he saw no one:
        but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Act 9:9 And he was three days not seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
Act 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias;
        and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias.
        But he said, Behold me, Lord.
Act 9:11 And the Lord [said] to him,
        Standing up, go into the street which being called Straight,
        and inquire in the house of Judas for [one] named Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prays,
Act 9:12 and has seen in a vision a man named Ananias,
        coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Act 9:13 Then Ananias answered,
        Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil things he has done to Thy Saints at Jerusalem:
Act 9:14 and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all that call on Thy name.
Act 9:15 But the Lord said to him,
        Go, for he is a vessel of election to Me,
        to bear My name before the gentiles, and kings, and the sons of Israel.
Act 9:16 For I shall show him how much he must suffer for My name's sake.
Act 9:17 And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him,
        said, Brother Saul, the Lord (Jesus that appeared to Thee in the way as Thou came) has sent me,
        that Thou may receive Thy sight, and may be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Act 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales:
        and he received sight immediately, and standing up, and was baptized.
Act 9:19 And he having received food, he was strengthened.
        {Paul begins to preach}.
        And Saul came some days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Act 9:20 And immediately he preached the Christ{Messiah} in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Act 9:21 But all that hearing him were astonished, and said,
        Is not this he who having extinguished them who called on this name in Jerusalem,
        and had come here for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
Act 9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength,
        and confounded the Jews who dwelling at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ{Messiah}.
Act 9:23 And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.
Act 9:24 But their lying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates (both day and night), that him they might put to death.
Act 9:25 Then the disciples having taken him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
Act 9:26
        And Saul having come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples:
        but they were all afraid of him, and believing not that he is a disciple.
Act 9:27 But Barnabas having taken him, and brought him to the apostles,
        and declared to them how he saw the Lord in the way, and that he spoke to Him,
        and how he preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Act 9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
Act 9:29 And he spoke boldly in the name of the LORD Jesus,
        both spoke and discussed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
Act 9:30 But the brethren having known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Act 9:31
        Then had the Churches peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria,
        and being edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord,
        and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.

Act 9:32 {Peter healed Aeneas and Tabitha}.
        And it came to pass, as Peter passing throughout all,
        he came down also to the Saints who dwelling at Lydda.
Act 9:33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas,
        lying upon a bed for eight years, and was paralyzed.
Act 9:34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus the Christ{Messiah} heals Thee:
        arise, and spread for thyself [the bed]. And immediately he rose up.
Act 9:35 And all who dwelling at Lydda and Sharon saw him, who turned to the Lord.
Act 9:36
        Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha,
        being interpreted, who is called Dorcas{gazelle}:
        this woman was full of good works and alms which she did.
Act 9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died:
        whom, they having bathed, they laid in an upper room.
Act 9:38 And as Lydda being near to Joppa, and the disciples having heard that Peter is there,
        they sent to him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
Act 9:39 But Peter having risen, went with them,
         whom having come, they brought him into the upper room:
        and all the widows stood by him weeping,
        and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, [while] being with them.
Act 9:40 But Peter having put them all outside, and having kneeled down, and prayed; and having turned to the body,
        said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and she having seen Peter, she sat up.
Act 9:41 And he having given her [his] hand, and lifted her up;
         and he having called the Saints and widows, presented her alive.
Act 9:42 And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.
Act 9:43 And it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

Act 10:1 {Cornelius the Centurion}.
        There was a certain man in Caesarea, called Cornelius,
        a centurion of the band being called the Italian,
Act 10:2 a devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house,
        who giving much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
Act 10:3 He saw in a vision clearly, about the ninth hour{circa 3 PM} of the day,
        an Angel of GOD coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
Act 10:4 But he staring on him, he has become afraid, and said,
        What is it, Lord?
        But he said to him,
        Thy prayers and Thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.
Act 10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter:
Act 10:6 he is lodged with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea: he shall speak to Thee what it ought Thee to do;
Act 10:7 and when the Angel who spoke to Cornelius departed,
        he called two of his household servants,
        and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
Act 10:8 and he having declared all these [things] to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Act 10:9 On the next morrow, as they were going on their journey, and drew near to the city,
        Peter went up upon the roof to pray, about the sixth hour{noon}:
Act 10:10 and he became very hungry, and would to taste: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
Act 10:11 and sees Heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him,
        as it having been bound a great sheet at the four edges, and being let down to the Earth:
Act 10:12 in which were all [manner] of four-footed [animals] of the Earth,
        and the beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him,
          Standing up, Peter; kill, and eat.
Act 10:14 But Peter said,
        Not so, Lord; for I have never ate anything that is common or unclean.
Act 10:15 And the voice [spoke] to him again the second time,
        What God has cleansed, [that] call not Thou common.
Act 10:16 This came thrice: and the vessel was taken up again into Heaven.
Act 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision that he saw might be,
        and behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius having made inquiry for the house of Simon,
        and were standing before the gate,
Act 10:18 and called, and inquired if Simon, who being surnamed Peter, is lodged here.
Act 10:19 While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him,
        Behold, three men seek Thee.
Act 10:20 But Thou having risen, and go down, and go with them, without hesitation: because I have sent them.
Act 10:21 But Peter having went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius;
        and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause for which ye are present?
Act 10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that fears God,
        and being well reported by all the nation of the Jews,
        was divinely warned by a Holy Angel to send for Thee into his house,
        and to hear sayings from Thee.
Act 10:23
        Then he called them in, and lodged [them].
        And on the next morrow Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa went with him.
Act 10:24 And on the next morrow they entered into Caesarea.
        And Cornelius was waiting for them, and he having called together the relatives of him and the close friends.
Act 10:25 And it happened as Peter to enter in [that] Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
Act 10:26 But Peter took him up, saying, Arise: I myself also am a man.
Act 10:27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that having come together.
Act 10:28 And He said to them,
        Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a Jewish man to keep company or come to a foreigner;
        and God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Act 10:29 Therefore I came also indisputably as soon as I was sent for:
        I inquire therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
Act 10:30 And Cornelius said, From [the] fourth day until this hour I was fasting;
        and at the ninth hour{circa 3 PM} I praying in my house,
        and behold, a man stood before me in splendid clothing,
Act 10:31 and Cornelius says, Thy prayer was heard, and Thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of GOD.
Act 10:32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call here Simon, whose surname is Peter;
        he lodges in the house of [one] Simon a tanner, by the sea: who, when he comes, shall speak to Thee.
Act 10:33 Immediately therefore I sent to Thee; and Thou have well done that Thou have come.
        Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all [things] that are commanded Thee by God.
Act 10:34 {gentiles accepted in the Church}.
        But Peter opened [his] mouth, and said,
        In truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons{favouritism}:
Act 10:35 but in every nation he who fearing Him, and works righteousness, is accepted with Him.
Act 10:36 The word which He sent to the sons of Israel,
        preaching the Gospel of Peace by Jesus Christ: (He is Lord of all).
Act 10:37 This saying, [I say], ye have known, which having become published throughout all Judea,
        and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Act 10:38 that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with [the] Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good,
        and healing all that being oppressed by the devil; for God was with Him.
Act 10:39 And we are witnesses of all [things] which He did, both in the land of the Jews,
        and in Jerusalem; whom they killed, having hanged on a tree.
Act 10:40 Him God raised the third day, and gave him to be made manifest;
Act 10:41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, to us,
        who ate and drank with Him after He to rise up from the dead.
Act 10:42 And He commanded us to preach to the people,
        and to testify that it is He who having been ordained by God [to be] the Judge of [the] living and [the] dead.
Act 10:43 To Him give all the prophets testimony, that through His name whoever believing into Him, to receive forgiveness of sins.
Act 10:44
        While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who hearing the word.
Act 10:45 And they (the faithful of circumcision), were amazed, as many as came with Peter,
        because that on the gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Act 10:46 For they heard them speak in tongues and magnifying God. Then answered Peter,
Act 10:47 can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
Act 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the LORD. Then they requested him to tarry some days.
Act 11:1 {gentiles are baptized}.
        Now the apostles and brethren who being in Judea, heard that the gentiles also received the Word of GOD.
Act 11:2 And when Peter go up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
Act 11:3 saying, Thou went in to men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
Act 11:4 But Peter having begun, [and] expounded [the matter] to them in order, saying,
Act 11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision,
        a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, being let down from Heaven by four edges; and it came even to me:
Act 11:6 at which I staring, I considered, and saw four-footed [animals] of the Earth,
        and the beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Act 11:7 And I heard a voice saying to me,
         Standing up, Peter; kill and eat.
Act 11:8 But I said,
         Not so, Lord: because never [has] anything common or unclean entered into my mouth.
Act 11:9 But the voice answered me a second [time] from Heaven, What God has cleansed, [that] call not Thou common. [Act 10:19-28]
Act 11:10 And this came thrice: and all were drawn up again into Heaven.
Act 11:11 And behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Caesarea to me.
Act 11:12 And the Spirit said me to go with them, without hesitation.
        And these six brethren went with me, and we entered into the man's house:
Act 11:13 and he showed us how he saw the Angel having stood in his house, and said to him,
        Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who being surnamed Peter;
Act 11:14 who shall speak sayings to Thee, by which Thou shall be saved and all Thy house.
Act 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at [the] beginning.
Act 11:16 Then I remembered the saying of the Lord, how He said,
        John indeed baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in [the] Holy Spirit.
Act 11:17 Then if God gave the same gift to them also as He [did] to us,
        who having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, but who was I [that] I could to hinder God?
Act 11:18 But [when] they having heard these [things], they held their peace, and glorified God,
        saying, Then gave God also to the gentiles repentance to life.

Act 11:19 {The Church of God in Antioch}.
        Therefore indeed, they who were dispersed upon the persecution having come about Stephen travelled as far as, Phoenicia and Cyprus, and Antioch,
        speaking the word to none except only to the Jews.
Act 11:20 And some men from them, Cypriots and Cyrenians, who having come into Antioch,
        spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus.
Act 11:21 And [the] hand of [the] LORD was with them: and a great number having believed, and turned to the Lord.
Act 11:22 Then tidings of these [things] came to the ears of the Church which was in Jerusalem:
        and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Act 11:23 And he who having come and having seen the grace of God,
        was glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart, to remain to the Lord.
Act 11:24 For he was a good man, and full of [the] Holy Spirit, and of faith: and a big multitude were added to the Lord.
Act 11:25 Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek Saul:
Act 11:26 and he having found him, he brought him to Antioch.
        And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the Church,
        and taught a big multitude. And <the disciples were first divinely called Christians in Antioch>.
Act 11:27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Act 11:28 And there having risen one of them named Agabus,
        and signified by the Spirit that there shall about to be a great famine throughout the whole World:
        which also came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
Act 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send for service to the brethren who dwelling in Judea.
Act 11:30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Act 12:1 {Martyrdom of James the Greater}.
        Now about that time, Herod the king laid [his] hands to afflict some of the Church.
Act 12:2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Act 12:3 {Liberation of Peter}.
         And he having seen it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to take also Peter.
        Then were the days of Unleavened [Bread].
Act 12:4 And he having taken him, he put him in prison,
        and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him;
        intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.
Act 12:5 So Peter therefore was kept in prison:
        but an intense prayer was being made by the Church to God for him.
Act 12:6 And when Herod was about to bring him forth,
        in that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers,
        bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
Act 12:7 And behold, an 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 quickly. And his chains fell off from [his] hands.
Act 12:8 And the Angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on Thy sandals; and so he did.
        And says to him, Cast Thy garment about Thee, and follow me.
Act 12:9 And he went out, and followed him,
        and had not known that it is true which was done by the Angel;
        but thought he saw a vision.
Act 12:10 When they were past the first and the second ward,
        they came to the iron gate that leads to the city;
        which opened to them of its own accord:
        and they went out, and passed on through one street;
        and immediately the Angel departed from him.
Act 12:11 And when Peter having come to himself, he said,
        Now I have known truly, that the LORD sent forth His Angel,
        and has delivered me out of the hand of Herod,
        and [from] all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Act 12:12 And he having considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary,
        (the mother of John who being surnamed Mark);
        where many were assembled, praying.
Act 12:13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate,
        a maid-servant came to listen, named Rhoda.
Act 12:14 And she having known Peter's voice,
        she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.
Act 12:15 And they said to her, Thou are insane.
        But she insisted to have it so. Then they said, It is his Angel.
Act 12:16 But Peter continued knocking.
        And they having opened [the door], and saw him, they were amazed.
Act 12:17 But he beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace,
        declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison.
        And He said, Go, show these [things] to James,
        and to the brethren. And He departed, and went into another place.
Act 12:18 Then it becoming day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, Then what was become of Peter?
Act 12:19 And Herod having sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers,
        and commanded that [they] should be put to death.
        And he having went down from Judea to Caesarea, and [there] abode.
Act 12:20 {The death of Herod Agrippa I}.
        And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon.
        But they presented unanimously to him, and they having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace,
        because their country was nourished by the king's [country].
Act 12:21 And upon a set day, Herod having put on royal clothing, sat upon the seat, and made an oration to them.
Act 12:22 And the people gave a shout, [saying], [It is] the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Act 12:23 And immediately an Angel of the LORD smote him,
        because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms and expired.

Act 12:24 {First missionary journey: Barnabas and Paul}.
        But the Word of GOD grew and multiplied.
Act 12:25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem,
         they having fulfilled the ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Act 13:1 Now being at Antioch there were in the Church prophets and teachers;
        both Barnabas, and Simeon (who being called Niger), and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen,
        (foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
Act 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said,
        Separate for me both Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.
Act 13:3 Then they having fasted and prayed, and laid [their] hands on them, they sent [them] away.
Act 13:4 Then these indeed having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia;
        and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Act 13:5 And they having come at Salamis, they preached the Word of GOD in the synagogues of the Jews.
        And they had also John for [their] minister.
Act 13:6 {By Sergius Paulus}.
        And they having passed through the isle to Paphos,
        they found a certain mage, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [was] Bar-Jesus{son of-Joshua}:
Act 13:7 who was with the proconsul of the country, Sergius Paulus,
        a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the Word of GOD.
Act 13:8 But Elymas the mage (for so is his name translated) withstood them,
        seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.
Act 13:9 But Saul (who also [is called] Paul) filled with [the] Holy Spirit, staring on him,
Act 13:10 and said, O full of all guile, and all mischief, [Thou] son of [the] devil,
        [Thou] enemy of all righteousness, shall Thou not cease to pervert the straight ways of the Lord?
Act 13:11 And now behold, the hand of the LORD [is] upon Thee, and Thou shall be blind,
        not seeing the sun until [another] time. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness;
        and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Act 13:12 Then the proconsul, having seen what coming to pass, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
Act 13:13 {Sermon of Paul}.
        Now when Paul and those around him loosed from Paphos,
        they came to Perga in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.
Act 13:14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia,
        and went into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, [and they] sat down.
Act 13:15 And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying,
        Men, brethren, if there is a word in you of exhortation for the people, speak.
Act 13:16 But Paul having risen, and beckoning with [his] hand, said,
        Men, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken.
Act 13:17 The God of this people Israel has chosen our fathers,
        and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt,
        and with a high arm He brought them out of it.
Act 13:18 And about the time of forty years He bore their manners in the wilderness.
Act 13:19 And He having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan,
        He divided their land to them by lot.
Act 13:20 And after these He gave [to them] judges, about four hundred fifty years,
        until Samuel the prophet.
Act 13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish,
        a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
Act 13:22 And He having removed him, He raised up to them David to be their king:
        to whom also He gave testimony, and said,
        I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who shall do all My desires. [1Sa 13:14 Psa 89:20]
Act 13:23 Of this man's seed has God, according to [the] promise, raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Act 13:24 John having first preached, before His entrance, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Act 13:25 And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do you suppose me to be?
        Not I am but behold, there comes One after me, whose shoes of [His] feet I am not worthy to loose. [Joh 1:27]
Act 13:26 Men, brethren, sons of the stock of Abraham,
        and whoever among you fears God, to you was the word of this Salvation sent.
Act 13:27 For they who dwelling at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known Him,
        nor the voices of the prophets which being read every Sabbath,
        they have fulfilled [them] in condemning [Him].
Act 13:28 And though they found no cause of death [in Him], yet they desired Pilate that He should be put to death.
Act 13:29 And when they fulfilled all that having been written concerning Him,
        they took Him down from the tree, and laid Him in a Tomb.
Act 13:30 But God raised Him from the dead:
Act 13:31 and He who was seen many days by them who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem,
         who are his witnesses to the people.
Act 13:32 And we preach [the] Gospel, that the promise which was made to the fathers,
Act 13:33 that God has fulfilled this to us their sons,
         in that He has raised up Jesus;
         as also it has been written in the second Psalm,
        Thou are My Son, today have I begotten Thee. [Psa 2:7]
Act 13:34 And that He raised Him from the dead, [now] no more to return to corruption,
        He has spoken on this wise, I shall give you the faithful mercies of David. [Isa 55:3]
Act 13:35 Therefore he says also in another [Psalm],
        neither shall Thou give Thy Holy [One] to see corruption. [Psa 16:10]
Act 13:36 For David, indeed, his own generation having served by the counsel of God,
        fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:
Act 13:37 but He whom God raised up, saw no corruption.
Act 13:38 Let it be known to you therefore, men, brethren,
        that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
Act 13:39 and from all which ye could not to be justified by the Law of Moses,
        whoever believing [into] Him is justified;
Act 13:40 beware therefore, lest that may come upon you which has been spoken in the prophets;
Act 13:41 behold, ye despisers, and marvel and be perished: for I work a work in your days,
        a work which ye may not believe, though anyone declare it to you. [Hab 1:5]
Act 13:42 {The Word is accepted by the gentiles}.
        And the Jews having gone out of the synagogue,
        the gentiles besought that these sayings might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Act 13:43 Now when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews and worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas;
        who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Act 13:44 And the next Sabbath came almost the whole city together to hear the Word of GOD.
Act 13:45 But the Jews having seen the multitudes, they were filled with envy,
and spoke against those [things], being spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Act 13:46 But Paul and Barnabas became bold, and said,
        It was necessary that the Word of GOD should first be spoken to you: but since ye reject it,
        and judge yourselves not worthy of everlasting life, behold, we are turned to the gentiles.
Act 13:47 For so has the LORD commanded us, [saying],
        I have set Thee to be a Light of the gentiles,
        for Thee to be for Salvation to the ends of the Earth. [Isa 49:6]
Act 13:48 And the gentiles hearing this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the LORD:
        and believed as many as were having been appointed to everlasting life.
Act 13:49 And the word of the LORD was published throughout all the region.
Act 13:50 But the Jews stirred up the worshipping and honourable women, and the chief men of the city,
        and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
Act 13:51 {The city Iconium was divided}.
        But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Act 13:52 But the disciples were filled with joy and with [the] Holy Spirit.
Act 14:1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews,
        and so spoke, that a great multitude believed: both of Jews and Greeks{gentiles},
Act 14:2 but the disobedient Jews stirred up the gentiles, and made their souls evil-affected against the brethren.
Act 14:3 A long time therefore they abode speaking boldly in the Lord,
        who gave testimony to the word of His grace, and giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Act 14:4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and some were with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
Act 14:5 And when there came an assault: both of gentiles and Jews,
        with their rulers, to mistreat, and to stone them,
Act 14:6 being aware of [it], they fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the region around.
Act 14:7 {Polytheism in Lystra}.
        And there they were preaching the Gospel.
Act 14:8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, disabled in his feet,
        being a lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.
Act 14:9 The same heard Paul speaking: who staring to him, and perceiving that he has faith to be whole,
Act 14:10 said with a great voice, Arise uprightly on Thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
Act 14:11 And the multitudes having seen what Paul did, they lifted up their voice,
        saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us, having become like men.
Act 14:12 And they called Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, since he was leading the word.
Act 14:13 Then the priest of Zeus, who being before their city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes.
Act 14:14 But [when] they having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent their clothes, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,
Act 14:15 and saying, Men, why do ye these [things]? We also are men of like passions with you,
        and preach to you the Gospel, that ye should turn from these vanities to the Living God,
        who made the Heaven and the Earth, and the sea, and all [things] that are in them.
Act 14:16 Who in past generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.
Act 14:17 And although He left not Himself without witness, doing good,
        and giving us rain from Heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
Act 14:18 And with these sayings they scarce restrained the multitudes from doing sacrifice to them.
Act 14:19 {End of the First missionary journey}.
        And there came there [some] Jews from Antioch, and Iconium,
        who persuaded the multitudes, and they having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to have been died.
Act 14:20 But as the disciples rising up around him, he rose, and came into the city:
        and the next morrow he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
Act 14:21 And they preached the Gospel to that city,
        and they having discipled many, they returned to Lystra, and [to] Iconium, and to Antioch,
Act 14:22 confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue [in] the faith,
        and that we must through much tribulations enter into the Kingdom of God!
Act 14:23 And they having voted for them elders in every Church,
          and they having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
Act 14:24 And they having passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
Act 14:25 And they having preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia{Antalya}.
Act 14:26 And thence sailed to Antioch,
         whence they were delivered to the grace of God, for the work which they fulfilled.
Act 14:27 And they having come, and having assembled the Church,
        they rehearsed how much that God did with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the gentiles.
Act 14:28 And there they abode no little time with the disciples.

Act 15:1 {Council of Jerusalem}.
        And some having come down from Judea, taught the brethren,
        Except ye should be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye not able to be saved.
Act 15:2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them,
        they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them,
        should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this matter.
Act 15:3 Therefore indeed, 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 to all the brethren.
Act 15:4 And they having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the Church,
        and by the apostles and elders, and they declared how much things that God did with them.
Act 15:5 But there rose some of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed,
        saying, that it was needful to circumcise them and to command [them] to keep the Law of Moses.
Act 15:6 And the apostles and elders came together to consider of this matter.
Act 15:7 And when there having been much disputation, Peter having risen up and said to them,
        Men, brethren, ye know that from past days ago, God has chosen among us,
        that the gentiles, by my mouth should hear the word of the Gospel, and believe.
Act 15:8 And God, knowner of hearts, testified to them, giving to them the Holy Spirit, even as He [did] to us:
Act 15:9 and put no difference between both us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith.
Act 15:10 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?
Act 15:11 But through the grace of Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.
Act 15:12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul,
        declaring what signs and wonders God wrought by them among the gentiles.
Act 15:13 And after they held their peace, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, listen to me.
Act 15:14 Simeon has declared how God at the first visited the gentiles to take from among them a people for His name.
Act 15:15 And to this agree the words of the Prophets; as it has been written,
Act 15:16 after these I shall return, and shall build again the Tabernacle of David which is fallen down;
        and I shall build again the ruins of it; and I shall set it up: [Amo 9:11]
Act 15:17 that the rest of men may seek after the LORD, and all the gentiles,
        upon whom My name is called, says the LORD, who doing all these [things]. [Amo 9:12]
Act 15:18 Known to God are all His works from [the] beginning of the Age{World}.
Act 15:19 Therefore I judge, that we trouble not them, who from among the gentiles turning to God:
Act 15:20 but that we write to them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.
Act 15:21 For Moses of ancient generations has in every city them that preach Him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.

Act 15:22 {Silas}.
        Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole Church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch,
        with Paul and Barnabas; [namely], Judas being surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren:
Act 15:23 having written through their hand thus; the apostles, and the elders, and the brethren,
        [send] greeting to the brethren who are of the gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia.
Act 15:24 Since we have heard, that some who went out from us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls;
        saying, to be circumcised and to keep the law; to whom we gave no [such] Commandment:
Act 15:25 it seemed good to us, being assembled unanimously, to send chosen men to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul:
Act 15:26 men that have given up their souls for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Act 15:27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, they by word also telling the same things.
Act 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Act 15:29 that ye abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication:
        from which ye keeping yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Act 15:30 Therefore indeed, having been dismissed, they came to Antioch:
          and they having gathered the multitude, they delivered the letter.
Act 15:31 But they having read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Act 15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed [them].
Act 15:33 And they having passed some time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren to the apostles.
Act 15:34 But it pleased Silas to abide there.

Act 15:35 {Paul with Silas and Barnabas with Mark}.
        But Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch,
        teaching and preaching the Gospel, with many others and the word of the LORD.
Act 15:36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Now let us returning and visit our brethren,
        in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, [and see] how they do.
Act 15:37 And Barnabas consulted to take with them John, who being called Mark.
Act 15:38 But Paul thought not worthy to take him with them,
        who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
Act 15:39 Therefore, there came a sharp contention, so that they departed, separating one from the other:
        and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus.
Act 15:40 But Paul having chosen Silas, and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.

Act 15:41 {Second missionary journey: Paul with Silas and Timothy}.
        And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Churches.
Act 16:1 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy,
        the son of a certain woman, a faithful Jewess, but his father [was] a Greek{gentile}.
Act 16:2 Who was well reported by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Act 16:3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and having taken and circumcised him,
        because of the Jews who being in those places: for they all had known that his father was a Greek{gentile}.
Act 16:4 And as they went through the cities,
        they delivered to them the decrees to keep that were ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Act 16:5 Then indeed were the Churches established [in] the faith, and abounded in number daily.
Act 16:6 {Vision of the man of Macedonia}.
        Now they having passed through Phrygia, and the region of Galatia,
        and were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Act 16:7 having come towards to Mysia, they essayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit allow them not.
Act 16:8 And they, passing by Mysia, came down to Troas.
Act 16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was standing a man of Macedonia, and prayed him,
        saying, Having pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
Act 16:10 And after he saw the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia,
        assuredly gathering, that the Lord has called us to preach the Gospel to them.
Act 16:11 {Conversion of Lydia}.
        Therefore to set sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and the next [day] to Neapolis;
Act 16:12 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 some days.
Act 16:13 We went out of the city by a river, on the day of the Sabbaths,
        where prayer was supposed to be [made]; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who resorted [there].
Act 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipping GOD,
        was hearing: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which being spoken by Paul.
Act 16:15 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.

Act 16:16 {Conversion of the bondmaid}.
        And it came to pass as we went to prayer, a certain bondmaid having possessed with a spirit of Python,
        met us, who brought her masters much gain by sooth-saying:
Act 16:17 she having followed Paul and us, and cried, saying,
        These men are the servants of God the Most High, who preach to us [the] way of Salvation.
Act 16:18 And this she did many days. But Paul having grieved, and having turned, 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.
Act 16:19 And her masters having seen that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas,
        and drew [them] into the market to the rulers,
Act 16:20 and brought them to the magistrates, saying,
        These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Act 16:21 and preach customs which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Act 16:22 And the multitude rose together against them:
        and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them] with rods.
Act 16:23 And many stripes having laid upon them,
        they cast [them] into prison, having commanded the jailer to keep them safely.
Act 16:24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Act 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Act 16:26 And suddenly there came 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.
Act 16:27 And the keeper of the prison became awake, and seeing the prison doors open,
        he drew out his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners to have been fled.
Act 16:28 But Paul cried with a great voice, saying, Thou should do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Act 16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas;
Act 16:30 and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?
Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and Thou shall be saved, and Thy house.
Act 16:32 And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all that were in his house.
Act 16:33 And he took them in that hour of the night, and bathed [their] stripes;
        and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
Act 16:34 And he bringing them into his house, he set a table before them,
        and rejoiced, having believed God with all his house.
Act 16:35 Now becoming day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.
Act 16:36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul,
        The magistrates have sent that ye may let go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
Act 16:37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans,
        and have cast [us] into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately?
        No indeed; but let them having come themselves and bring us out.
Act 16:38 And the lictors told these sayings to the magistrates:
          and they feared when they having heard that they are Romans.
Act 16:39 And they having come and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city.
Act 16:40 And they having departed from the prison, they came in to Lydia:
          and they having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

Act 17:1 {The uproar in Thessalonica}.
        Now they having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews.
Act 17:2 And according to the custom of Paul, went in to them, and on three Sabbaths reasoned with them out of the Scriptures,
Act 17:3 opening and alleging, that it was needful that the Christ{Messiah} should suffer, and to rise up from the dead;
        and that this is the Christ{Messiah} Jesus, whom I preach to you.
Act 17:4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas:
        and of the worshipping Greeks{gentiles} a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
Act 17:5 But the disobedient Jews, having been jealous, took to them some evil men of the baser sort, and gathered a company,
        and set all the city in an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
Act 17:6 But they having found them not, they drew Jason and some brethren to the politarchs,
        crying, These that have turned the World upside down, also are present here;
Act 17:7 whom Jason has received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar,
        saying, that there be another King, Jesus.
Act 17:8 And they troubled the multitude, and the politarchs, when they heard these [things].
Act 17:9 And they having taken security from Jason and of the other, they let them go.
Act 17:10 {In Berea}.
        And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea:
        who coming [there], went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Act 17:11 These were more noble [than] those in Thessalonica,
        in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
        and examining the Scriptures daily, if those things were so.
Act 17:12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women who were Greeks{gentiles}, and of men not a few.
Act 17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew that the Word of GOD was preached by Paul at Berea,
        they came there also, and stirred up the multitudes.
Act 17:14 But then immediately the brethren sent away Paul,
        to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy remained there.
Act 17:15 {Sermon in the Areopagus}.
        And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens:
        and having received a Commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come most swiftly to him, they departed.
Act 17:16 Now, while Paul waited for them at Athens,
        his spirit was stirred in him, seeing the city being wholly given to idolatry.
Act 17:17 Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews,
        and with the worshipping [persons], and in the market daily with them that met with him.
Act 17:18 Then some philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him.
        And some said, What may this babbler wish to say?
        Some others, he seems to be an announcer of strange demons:
        because he preached the Gospel to them of Jesus and the resurrection the resurrection.
Act 17:19 And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus,
        saying, May we to know what this new doctrine [is], being spoken by Thee?
Act 17:20 For Thou bring some strange things to our ears;
        we wish therefore to know what these [things] may mean to be;
Act 17:21 (for all the Athenians and strangers who were there,
        spent their time in nothing else, but to tell and to hear something new).
Act 17:22 But Paul having stood in the middle of Areopagus,
        and said, Men, Athenians, I perceive that in all [things] ye are too superstitious.
Act 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your objects of worship,
        I found an Altar that had been scripted, to an unknown God.
        Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him preach I to you.
Act 17:24 God that having made the World, and all [things] (in it),
        seeing that He being Lord of Heaven and Earth,
        dwells not in sanctuaries being made with hands;
Act 17:25 neither is He served by men's hands,
        as though He needed anything,
        seeing He gives to all life, and breath, and all [things];
Act 17:26 and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the Earth,
        and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Act 17:27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might feel after Him,
        and might find, although He is not far from every one of us:
Act 17:28 for in Him we live, and are moved, and are [exist];
        as also some of the poets among you have said, for we are also His offspring.
Act 17:29 Being then the offspring of God,
        we ought not to suppose that the Divine be like gold, or silver, or stone marking by craft and device of man.
Act 17:30 Then indeed the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent:
Act 17:31 because He has appointed a day, in which He should judge the World in righteousness, by [that] man whom He has ordained:
        having given faith to all, in that He has raised Him from [the] dead.
Act 17:32 But [when] they having heard of the resurrection of the dead,
        some mocked: and others said, We shall hear Thee again concerning this [matter].
Act 17:33 So Paul departed from among them.
Act 17:34 But some men adhered to him, and believed:
        among whom [was] Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Act 18:1 {In Corinth}.
        And after these, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
Act 18:2 and he having found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, having recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla:
        (that because Claudius has commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and he came to them.
Act 18:3 And because he be of the same craft, he abode with them,
        and wrought (for by their craft they were tent-makers).
Act 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks{gentiles}.
Act 18:5 And when Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia,
        Paul was pressed in the Spirit, and testified to the Jews, [that] the Christ{Messiah} [is] Jesus.
Act 18:6 And when they resisting and blaspheming, he shook [his] garment,
        and said to them, your blood [be] upon your own heads:
        I [am] clean: from now on I shall go to the gentiles.
Act 18:7 And he having departed thence, and came into the house of a certain man named Justus,
        who worshipping GOD, whose house was joined close to the synagogue.
Act 18:8 And Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed the Lord with all his house:
        and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.
Act 18:9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision,
        Fear not, but speak, and should not keep silent:
Act 18:10 because I AM with Thee, and no one shall lay hands on Thee,
        to hurt Thee: because there is much people to Me in this city.
Act 18:11 And he settled [there] a year and six months, teaching the Word of GOD among them.
Act 18:12 {By Gallio}.
        But Gallio being proconsul of Achaia,
        the Jews stood up unanimously against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,
Act 18:13 saying, This [fellow] persuades men to worship God contrary to the Law.
Act 18:14 And as Paul being about to open [his] mouth,
        Gallio said to the Jews, Then indeed if it was some crime or wicked villainy lewdness,
        O Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
Act 18:15 but if it is a matter of speech and names, and of your Law,
        ye shall see [to it]: for I will be no judge of such [matters].
Act 18:16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Act 18:17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue,
        and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

Act 18:18 {Return to Jerusalem and Antioch}.
        But Paul having remained yet many days, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria,
        and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Act 18:19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Act 18:20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he not consented:
Act 18:21 but bade them farewell, saying, I must surely to keep this coming Festival at Jerusalem:
        but I shall return to you, God is willing. And he sailed from Ephesus.
Act 18:22 And he having went down to Caesarea,
          he having gone up, and having saluted the Church, he went down to Antioch.
Act 18:23 And he having spent some time [there], he departed,
        and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

Act 18:24 {Apollos joints the Church}.
        And a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, being mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Act 18:25 This [man] was instructed in the way of the Lord:
        and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things about the Lord,
        knowing only the baptism of John.
Act 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue:
        but [when] Aquila and Priscilla having heard of him, they took him to [them], and expounded more exactly to him the way of God.
Act 18:27 But he intending to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him:
        who, when he having come, helped them much who have believed through grace.
Act 18:28 For he intensely convinced the Jews,
        [and that] publicly, showing by the Scriptures, that the Christ{Messiah} be Jesus.
Act 19:1 {Apollos and Paul go to Ephesus}.
        And it came to pass, that while Apollos be at Corinth,
        Paul having passed through the upper region, to come to Ephesus;
        and finding some disciples,
Act 19:2 he said to them, Did ye received [the] Holy Spirit since ye having believed?
        And they said to him, We have not so much as heard if there is any Holy Spirit.
Act 19:3 And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Act 19:4 Then said Paul, John truly baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe into Him who coming after him, that is, on the Christ{Messiah} Jesus.
Act 19:5 But [when] they having heard [this], they were baptized into the name of the LORD Jesus.
Act 19:6 And Paul having laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied.
Act 19:7 And all the men were about twelve.
Act 19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months,
        reasoning and persuading the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
Act 19:9 But when some were hardened, and disobeyed, but spoke evil of the way before the multitude,
        he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
Act 19:10 And this happened for two years;
        so that all they who dwelling in Asia heard the word of the LORD Jesus, both Jews and Greeks{gentiles}.
Act 19:11 {The sons of Sceva}.
        And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
Act 19:12 so that from his skin were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs, or aprons, and the diseases departed from them,
        and the evil spirits went out of them.
Act 19:13 Then some of the wandering Jews, exorcists,
        attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those having the evil spirits,
        saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.
Act 19:14 And there were seven sons of [one] Sceva a Jew, [and] chief of the priests, who doing this.
Act 19:15 And the evil spirit answering, said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
Act 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaped on them, and dominate over them,
        and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Act 19:17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks{gentiles}, who dwelling at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all,
        and the name of the LORD Jesus was magnified.
Act 19:18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
Act 19:19 But many of them who having done occult arts, having brought their books together, and burned them before all;
        and they counted the price of them, and found [it] five myriads{50000} [pieces] of silver.
Act 19:20 So the word of the LORD grew mightily and prevailed.

Act 19:21 {Third missionary journey: Paul}.
        Now when these [things] were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit,
        he having passed through Macedonia, and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem,
        saying, After I have come there, I must also see Rome.
Act 19:22 But he sent into Macedonia two of those who serving him,
        Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.
Act 19:23 {Demetrius the silver-smith of Ephesus}.
        And the same time there came no small stir about the way.
Act 19:24 For a certain [man] named Demetrius, a silver-smith,
        who making silver sanctuaries for Artemis, brought no small gain to the artificers;
Act 19:25 whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation,
        and said, Men, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth:
Act 19:26 and ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus,
        but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a big multitude,
        saying, that they are no gods which are made with hands.
Act 19:27 But that not only this our part is in danger to come into disrepute;
        but also that the Temple of the great goddess Artemis to be counted for nothing,
        and her magnificence to be destroyed, whom all Asia, and the World worships.
Act 19:28 But [when] they having heard and having become full of wrath, they cried out,
        saying, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Act 19:29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and they having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia,
        Paul's companions in travel, they rushed unanimously into the theatre.
Act 19:30 Now Paul wanting to entered in to the people, the disciples allow him not.
Act 19:31 And some of the Asiarchs, who being his friends,
        sent to him, desiring him that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
Act 19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another:
        for the Church{Congregation} was confused, and the greater part had not known why they had come together.
Act 19:33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward.
        And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would to reply as defence to the people.
Act 19:34 But when they knew that he is a Jew, they all became one voice: crying for about two hours cried out,
        Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Act 19:35 But the scribe having calmed the multitude, he says, Men, Ephesians,
        what man is there that knows not that the city of the Ephesians being a worshiper of Artemis the great goddess,
        and of the [image] which fell-from-Zeus?
Act 19:36 Therefore these things being undeniable, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Act 19:37 For ye have brought here these men, who are neither temple-robbers, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
Act 19:38 If therefore Demetrius and the artificers who are with him, have a matter against anyone,
        the courts are lead, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
Act 19:39 But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful Church{Congregation}.
Act 19:40 For we are in danger to be accused for today's uproar,
        there being no cause about which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse.
Act 19:41 And he having said these, he dismissed the Church{Congregation}.

Act 20:1 {To Macedonia}.
        And after the tumult ceased, Paul called to him the disciples,
        and embraced [them], and departed to go into Macedonia.
Act 20:2 And he having passed through those parts, and he having besought them by much speech, he came into Greece,
Act 20:3 and [there] abode three months,
        and a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he being about to sail into Syria, he came [to the] conclusion to return through Macedonia.
Act 20:4 And there accompanied him to Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians,
        Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus.
Act 20:5 {To Troas}.
        These having gone before, remained for us at Troas.
Act 20:6 And we sailed away from Philippi, after the Days of Unleavened [Bread],
        and came to them to Troas within five days; where we abode seven days. [Lev 23:6]
Act 20:7 And upon the First of the Weeks, when the disciples came together to break bread{eating},
        Paul reasoning to them (being about to depart on the next morrow) and continued his speech until midnight.
Act 20:8 And there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled.
Act 20:9 And there sitting by a window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep:
        and as Paul reasoning yet longer, he being carried away by sleep,
        and fell from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
Act 20:10 But Paul having went down, and fell on him, and embracing him,
        said, Trouble not yourselves; for his soul is in him.
Act 20:11 When he having come up, and he having broken bread, and he having tasted,
        and he having conversed a long while, until daylight, so he departed.
Act 20:12 And they brought the boy alive, and were not moderately comforted.
Act 20:13 {From Troas to Miletus and Ephesus}.
        But we having gone before to the ship, sailed to Assos,
        there intending to take in Paul: for so he was having been appointed, himself being about to go on foot.
Act 20:14 And when he met with us at Assos, we having taken him in, and came to Mitylene.
Act 20:15 And we sailed thence, and came the next [day] opposite to Chios;
        and the next [day] we arrived at Samos,
        and having remained at Trogyllium; and the next [day] we came to Miletus.
Act 20:16 For Paul determined to sail by Ephesus,
         because it might not happen to him to spend time in Asia:
        for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost{Festival of Weeks}.
Act 20:17 And from Miletus he having sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the Church.
Act 20:18 And when they came to him, he said to them,
        Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, how I was with you at all time,
Act 20:19 serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and temptations,
        which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
Act 20:20 [and] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [to you], but have shown you,
        and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
Act 20:21 testifying both to Jews and Greeks{gentiles},
        repentance towards GOD, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
Act 20:22 And now behold, I go bound in the Spirit to Jerusalem,
        not knowing the [things] that shall befalling me [there]:
Act 20:23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying, that bonds and afflictions abide me.
Act 20:24 But I make account of none of these, neither count I my soul dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy,
        and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God.
Act 20:25 And now behold, I have known that ye all shall see my face no more, among whom I went about preaching the Kingdom of God.
Act 20:26 Therefore I testify to you in this day, that I [am] pure from the blood of all.
Act 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of GOD.
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers{bishops},
        to shepherd the Church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.
Act 20:29 For I have known this, that after my departure grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also from your own selves shall arise men, speaking perverted [things], to draw away disciples after them.
Act 20:31 Therefore watch, and remembering, that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonishing every one night and day with tears.
Act 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace,
        which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them who having been sanctified.
Act 20:33 I coveted no on's silver, or gold, or apparel.
Act 20:34 And ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my needs, and to them that being with me.
Act 20:35 I have shown you all [things], that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus,
        that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Act 20:36 And he having said these, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
Act 20:37 And there came much weeping from all, and having fallen on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
Act 20:38 sorrowing especially for the words which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

Act 21:1 {Return to Jerusalem}.
        And it came to pass, to launch us, after being drawn away from them, after going a straight course, we came with a straight course to Kos,
        and the next [day] to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara:
Act 21:2 and finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
Act 21:3 And we having sighted 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.
Act 21:4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days:
        who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Act 21:5 And when it came to pass that we accomplished the days, we departed, and proceeded on our way;
        and they all conducted us with wives and children, until [we were] out of the city; and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
Act 21:6 And we having embraced one of another, we took ship; and they returned to their homes.
Act 21:7 And we having finished the voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais,
        and saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them.
Act 21:8 And the next morrow those that were around Paul departed, and came to Caesarea;
        and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who being [one] of the seven; and abode with him.
Act 21:9 And to him were four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
Act 21:10 And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Act 21:11 And he having come to us, he having taken Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet,
        and said, These [things] says the Holy Spirit,
        So the Jews at Jerusalem shall bind the man whose girdle it is, and shall deliver him into the hands of [the] gentiles.
Act 21:12 And when we heard these [things], both we and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Act 21:13 But Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart?
        For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the LORD Jesus.
Act 21:14 But he not being persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Act 21:15 And after those days we having packed up, and go up to Jerusalem.
Act 21:16 There went with us also [some] of the disciples of Caesarea, and bringing with them one Mnason of Cyprus,
        an ancient disciple, with whom we may lodge.
Act 21:17 And we having come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Act 21:18 And the next [day] Paul had gone in with us to James: and all the elders came.
Act 21:19 And he having saluted them, he declared by one each what things the God wrought among the gentiles by his ministry.
Act 21:20 But [when] they having heard, [and] they glorified the Lord, and said to him,
        Thou see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who believe; and they are all zealous of the Law.
Act 21:21 And they are informed concerning Thee, that Thou teach apostasy from Moses [to] all the Jews among the gentiles,
        saying, that they ought not to circumcise [their] children, neither to walk after the customs.
Act 21:22 What then is it? The multitude must surely come together: for they shall hear that Thou have come.
Act 21:23 Do therefore this that we say to Thee: there are with us four men [who] having a vow on themselves;
Act 21:24 these having taken, be purified with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave [their] heads:
        and all may know that those things of which they have been informed about Thee, are nothing, but Thou thyself also march [orderly], keeping the Law.
Act 21:25 As concerning the gentiles who believe, we have written [and] concluded that they observe no such thing except only,
        that they keep themselves from [things] offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
Act 21:26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them, had entered into the Temple,
        to signify the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Act 21:27 {Arrest of Paul}.
        Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews who were from Asia,
        when they having seen him in the Temple, stirred up all the multitude, and laid hands on him,
Act 21:28 crying out, Men, Israelites, help. This is the man that teaches all everywhere against the people, and the Law,
        and this place: and further, has brought Greeks{gentiles} both into the Temple and has defiled this Holy place;
Act 21:29 (for they were seen before with him in the city, Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the Temple).
Act 21:30 And all the city was moved, and it came to pass, the people ran together: and they took Paul and drew him out of the Temple.
        And immediately the doors were shut.
Act 21:31 And as they seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the tribune of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Act 21:32 Who immediately having taken soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them.
        And when they having seen the tribune and the soldiers, they left beating Paul.
Act 21:33 Then the tribune having drawn near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains:
        and inquired who he may be, and what it is he has been doing.
Act 21:34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and he could not to know the certainty for the tumult,
        he commanded him to be carried into the Fortress.
Act 21:35 But when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne by the soldiers, for the violence of the multitude.
Act 21:36 For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
Act 21:37 {Paul tells about his conversion and Mission}.
        And as Paul being about to be led into the Fortress, he says to the tribune,
        It is permitted I speak to Thee? Who said, know Thou Greek?
Act 21:38 Then, are Thou not the Egyptian, who before these days made an uproar,
        and led out into the wilderness four thousand men of the assassins?
Act 21:39 But Paul said, I indeed am a Jewish man, of Tarsus, [in] Cilicia,
        a citizen of no insignificant city: and I beseech Thee allow me to speak to the people.
Act 21:40 And he having given him permission, Paul having stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people.
        And there having been an entire silence, he spoke to [them] in the Hebrew language, saying,
Act 22:1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence now to you;
Act 22:2 (But [when] they having heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept the more silence: and he says),
Act 22:3 I indeed am a Jewish man, born in Tarsus, in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel,
        [and] taught according to the perfect manner of the Law of the fathers, being zealous towards GOD, as ye all are today.
Act 22:4 I persecuted this way even to death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Act 22:5 As also the High Priest bears me testimony, and all the elderhood;
        from whom also I received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus,
        [and] shall bringing them who being there bound to Jerusalem, that they might be punished.
Act 22:6 And it came to pass, that as I was passing on my journey, and drawing near to Damascus about noon,
        suddenly there shone from Heaven a great Light around me.
Act 22:7 And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me,
        Saul, Saul, why persecute Thou Me?
Act 22:8 But I answered,
        Who are Thou, Lord?
        And He said to me,
        I AM Jesus the Nazarene, whom Thou persecute.
Act 22:9 And they that being with me saw indeed the Light, and were afraid;
        but they understand not the voice of Him that speaking to me.
Act 22:10 And I said,
        What shall I do, Lord?
        And the Lord said to me,
        Standing up, go into Damascus, and there it shall be spoken to Thee concerning all [things] which are appointed for Thee to do.
Act 22:11 Now when I did not see from the glory of that Light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
Act 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, being well reported by all the dwelling Jews,
Act 22:13 having come to me, and stood, and said to me, Brother Saul, receive Thy sight.
        And the same hour I looked up upon him.
Act 22:14 But he said, The God of our fathers has chosen Thee,
        to know His will, and to see the Just [One], and should hear the voice out of His mouth.
Act 22:15 For Thou shall be His witness to all men of what Thou have seen and heard.
Act 22:16 And now why tarry Thou?
         Having risen, be baptized, and wash away Thy sins, calling on the name of the LORD.
Act 22:17
        And it came to pass, having returned to Jerusalem,
        even while I prayed in the Temple, I came to be in a trance;
Act 22:18 and saw him saying to me, Make haste, and depart quickly from Jerusalem;
        because they shall not receive Thy testimony concerning me.
Act 22:19 And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning, and beat in all the synagogues them that believed on Thee.
Act 22:20 And when the blood of Thy witness Stephen was shed,
        I also was standing by, and consenting his killing, and keeping the garments of them who killing him.
Act 22:21 And He said to me, Depart: for I shall send Thee far hence to the gentiles.
Act 22:22 Now they were listening him to this word, and [then] lifted up their voice,
         saying, Away with such a [man] from the Earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
Act 22:23 And as they cried out, and cast off [their] garments, and threw dust into the air.
Act 22:24 {Paul claims Roman Citizenship}.
        The tribune commanded to bring him into the Fortress, and saying, By scourges let him be examined;
        that he might know for what cause they cried so against him.
Act 22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion that stood by,
        Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman [Citizen], and uncondemned?
Act 22:26 But [when] the centurion having heard, he having come and told the tribune,
        saying, Take heed what Thou should do; for this man is a Roman [Citizen].
Act 22:27 Then the tribune having come, and said to him, Tell me, are Thou a Roman{Roman Citizenship Right}?
        He said, Yes.
Act 22:28 And the tribune answered, With a great sum I procured this Citizenship.
        But Paul said, But I was born [free].
Act 22:29 Then immediately they departed from him who were about to examine him:
        and the tribune also was afraid, knowing that he is a Roman [Citizen], and because he was who bound him.

Act 22:30 {Paul before the Sanhedrin}.
        On the next morrow, wanting to know the certainty why he is accused by the Jews,
        he loosed him from [his] bands, and commanded the chief priests,
        and all their council to come, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
Act 23:1 And Paul, staring at the council, said, Men, brethren,
        I have lived as citizen in all good conscience before God until this day.
Act 23:2 And the High Priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him, to smite him on the mouth.
Act 23:3 Then said Paul to him, God is about to smite Thee, [Thou] whited wall! For Thou sits to judge me according to the Law,
        and command me to be smitten contrary to the Law?
Act 23:4 And they that stood by, said, Revile Thou God's High Priest?
Act 23:5 Then said Paul, I had not known, brethren, that he is the High Priest:
        for it has been written, Thou shall not speak evilly of the ruler of Thy people. [Exo 22:28]
Act 23:6 But Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees,
        he cried out in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee:
        concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Act 23:7 But now he having said, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
Act 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there be no resurrection, neither Angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Act 23:9 But there came a great cry: and the scribes [that were] of the Pharisees' part arose, and contended, saying,
        We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an Angel spoke to him, let us not fight against God.
Act 23:10 And it becoming a great dissension, the tribune,
        fearing lest Paul would have been pulled in pieces by them,
        commanded the troops to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the Fortress.
Act 23:11 And the next night, the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul:
        for as Thou have testified concerning Me in Jerusalem,
        so it must [that] Thee also bear testimony at Rome.
Act 23:12 {Plot to murder Paul}.
        Then it becoming day, some of the Jews having made a concourse, and bound themselves under a curse,
        saying, that they would neither eat nor drink until they may kill Paul.
Act 23:13 And they were more than forty who made this conspiracy.
Act 23:14 They having come to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under an anathema curse,
        to taste nothing until we may kill Paul.
Act 23:15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the tribune,
        that he may bring him down to you tomorrow, as being about to know more exactly the [things] concerning him:
        and we, before he coming near, are ready to kill him.
Act 23:16 But [when] the son of Paul's sister having heard of their lying in wait, he having come and entered into the Fortress, and told Paul.
Act 23:17 But Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said,
        Bring this young man to the tribune: for he has a certain thing to tell him.
Act 23:18 Then he took him, and brought [him] to the tribune, and says,
        Paul the prisoner called me to [him], and prayed [me] to bring this young man to Thee,
        who has something to say to Thee.
Act 23:19 Then the tribune took him by the hand, and he having withdrawn in private, and inquired [him], What is that Thou have to tell me?
Act 23:20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire Thee, that Thou would bring down Paul tomorrow into the council,
        as though they would inquire somewhat concerning him more exactly.
Act 23:21 Therefore Thou should not be persuaded by them: for there are of them who lie in wait for him more than forty men, who have bound themselves with a curse,
        that they neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him: and now they are ready, looking for a promise from Thee.
Act 23:22 Then indeed the tribune let the young man depart, and having commanded him, [See Thou] tell no man that Thou have shown these [things] to me.
Act 23:23 {Felix the governor}.
        And he called some to him, two centurions, saying, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go to Caesarea,
        and seventy horsemen, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour{circa 9 PM} of the night;
Act 23:24 and provide [tame] animals, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
Act 23:25 Having written a letter containing this content:
Act 23:26 Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix, [sends] greeting.
Act 23:27 This man having been taken by the Jews, and would have been killed by them;
          having stood by with the army, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman{Roman Citizenship Right}.
Act 23:28 But wanting to know the cause for which they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
Act 23:29 whom I perceived being accused of matters of their Law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death, or of bonds.
Act 23:30 And it has been shown to me that a plot against the man shall about to be by the Jews, I sent immediately to Thee,
        and gave Commandment to his accusers also, to say before Thee what [they had] against him. Farewell.
Act 23:31 Therefore indeed, the soldiers, as commanded to them, having taken Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Act 23:32 On the next morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returnedinto the Fortress:
Act 23:33 who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Act 23:34 Then the governor having read, and having asked of what province he is, and having inquired: [he is] from Cilicia,
Act 23:35 I shall hear Thee, said he, when Thy accusers also may have come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium{judgment-hall}.
Act 24:1 {Tertullus the slander}.
        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.
Act 24:2 And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse him,
        saying, Seeing that by Thee we enjoy much peace,
        and that very worthy deeds are done to this nation by Thy providence,
Act 24:3 both always and everywhere we receive [it], most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving.
Act 24:4 But that I may not be further hinder Thee,
        I beseech Thee to hear us concisely in Thy gentleness.
Act 24:5 For we have found this a pestilent man, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the World,
        and a champion of the sect of the <Nazarenes>{Christians}:
Act 24:6 who also has gone about to profane the Temple:
        whom we took, and would have judged according to our Law.
Act 24:7 But the tribune Lysias came and with much violence took him out of our hands,
Act 24:8 commanding his accusers to come to Thee:
        by examining whom, Thou thyself shall take knowledge of all these [things] of which we accuse him.
Act 24:9 And the Jews also agreed, affirming that these [things] to have it so.
Act 24:10 But Paul answered, the governor having beckoned for him to speak,
        Knowing [that] for many years Thee being a judge to this nation,
        I do cheerfully reply as defence for myself:
Act 24:11 Thou being able to know, that not more than twelve days are to me from which I went up, [and] shall worshipping in Jerusalem.
Act 24:12 And they neither found me in the Temple reasoning with anyone,
        neither exciting the multitude to sedition, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
Act 24:13 neither can they to prove the things about which they now accuse me.
Act 24:14 But this I confess to Thee, that after the way which they call heresy,
        so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all [things] which have been written through the Law and the Prophets:
Act 24:15 having hope towards GOD, which these themselves also allow,
        that there shall about to be a resurrection of [the] dead, both of just and unjust.
Act 24:16 And in this I exercise myself, to have always a conscience without offence to God and men.
Act 24:17 Now I came after many years, [and] shall bringing alms to my nation, and offerings.
Act 24:18 Upon which some Jews from Asia found me purified in the Temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Act 24:19 Who ought to be present before Thee, and object if they might have aught against me.
Act 24:20 Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any crime in me, while I stood before the council,
Act 24:21 except it is for this one voice, that I cried, having stood among them,
        Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you today.
Act 24:22 And having heard these, Felix deferred them, knowing more exactly the things of the way,
        saying, When Lysias the tribune may come down, I shall investigate the things for you.
Act 24:23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him] to have relief,
        and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister, or come to him.
Act 24:24 {Felix the governor supports Paul}.
        And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewess,
        he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith into Christ{Messiah}.
Act 24:25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment shall about to be,
        Felix has become afraid, answered, depart for now; and having got time, I shall call for Thee.
Act 24:26 But at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul,
        that he might loose him: therefore he sent for him often, and conversed with him.
Act 24:27 {Porcius Festus}.
        But two years being completed, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus:
        and Felix willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Act 25:1 Festus therefore having entered into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
Act 25:2 Then the High Priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
Act 25:3 desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, lying in wait in the way to kill him.
Act 25:4 Then indeed Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself to be depart quickly.
Act 25:5 Let them therefore, says he, who among you are able, having gone down with [me], if there is any amiss in this man, let them accuse him.
Act 25:6 Then having tarried among them more than ten days,
        he having went down to Caesarea; and the next morrow sitting upon the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.
Act 25:7 And he having come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem,
        stood around, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove;
Act 25:8 while he replying as defence for himself, Neither against the Law of the Jews,
        neither against the Temple, nor yet against Caesar have I anything sinned.
Act 25:9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said,
         Will Thou going up to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these [things] before me?
Act 25:10
        Then said Paul, I having stood at Caesar's tribunal,
        where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as Thou very well know.
Act 25:11 For if I indeed do wrong and have done anything worthy of death,
        I refuse not to die: but if there is none of these [things] of which these accuse me,
        no one can grant me to them. I appeal to Caesar.
Act 25:12 Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered,
        Have Thou appealed to Caesar?
        To Caesar Thou shall go.
Act 25:13 {Agrippa II has questions}.
        And some days having passed, king Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea, [and] shall saluting Festus.
Act 25:14 And when they were there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause to the king,
        saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
Act 25:15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem,
        the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring [to have] judgment against him.
Act 25:16 To whom I answered, It is not the custom of the Romans to grant any man to destruction,
        before he who being accused may have the accusers face to face,
        and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge.
Act 25:17 Therefore, they having come here, without any delay on the next [day] I sat upon the judgment-seat,
        and commanded the man to be brought forth;
Act 25:18 about whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of such things as I supposed:
Act 25:19 but had some matters against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus who was dead,
        whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Act 25:20 But I being perplexed about this inquiry,
        I said if he be willing to go to Jerusalem, and to be judged there about these things;
Act 25:21 but Paul having appealed to be reserved to the hearing of the emperor,
        I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar.
Act 25:22 Now Agrippa said to Festus, I would also hear the man myself. Tomorrow, says he, Thou shall hear him.
Act 25:23 Then on the next morrow, Agrippa having come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they having entered into the place of hearing,
         being with the tribunes and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought forth.
Act 25:24 And Festus says, king Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us,
        ye see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me,
        both at Jerusalem, and [also] here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Act 25:25 But I having found him to have done nothing worthy of death,
        and that he himself has appealed to the emperor, I have determined to send him.
Act 25:26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you,
        and especially before Thee, king Agrippa, after that the examination having been made, I may have somewhat to write.
Act 25:27 For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not also to signify the crimes [laid] against him.
Act 26:1 {Paul speaks to Agrippa II}.
        Now Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted Thee to speak for thyself.
        Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and replied as defence, for himself:
Act 26:2 Concerning all of which I am accused by the Jews, king Agrippa,
        I deem myself blessed, today being about to reply as defence myself to Thee:
Act 26:3 especially, having known Thee being expert in both: all customs and matters which are among the Jews:
        therefore I beseech Thee to hear me patiently.
Act 26:4 Then indeed [the] lifestyle from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, have known all the Jews,
Act 26:5 who before knew me from [the] beginning, (if they wish to testify) that after the strictest sect of our religion, I lived [as] a Pharisee.
Act 26:6 And for the hope of the promise having been made by God to our fathers, now I have stood, and being judged:
Act 26:7 to which [promise] our twelve tribes, assiduously serving [Him] day and night, hope to come.
        For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.
Act 26:8 Why is it judged unbelievable by you if God raises [the] dead?
Act 26:9 I indeed then thought to myself, that I ought to do many [things] contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.
Act 26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the Saints did I shut up in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests;
         they also being put to death, I gave my vote-pebble against [them].
Act 26:11 And I punished them often in all the synagogues, and compelled [them] to blaspheme;
        and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted [them] even to foreign cities.
Act 26:12 Upon which as I went to Damascus, with authority and commission from the chief priests,
Act 26:13 at mid-day, king, I saw in the way a Light from Heaven,
        surpassing the brightness of the sun, shining around me, and them who journeyed with me.
Act 26:14 And we all having fallen to the ground,
        I heard a voice saying to me, and speaking in the Hebrew language,
        Saul, Saul, why persecute Thou Me?
        [It is] hard for Thee to kick against [the] goads. [Act 9:4-5]
Act 26:15 But I said,
        Who are Thou, Lord?
        But He said, I AM Jesus whom Thou persecute. [Act 9:5]
Act 26:16
        But arise, and stand upon Thy feet: for I have appeared to Thee for this purpose,
        to make Thee a minister and a witness both of the things:
        which Thou have seen, and of [the things] in which I shall appear to Thee;
Act 26:17 delivering Thee from the people, and [from] the gentiles, to whom now I send Thee,
Act 26:18 to open their eyes,
        that they to turn from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan to God,
        that they to receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them who having been sanctified by faith that is in me.
Act 26:19
        Upon which king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the Heavenly vision.
Act 26:20 But showed first to them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and [then] to the gentiles,
        that they should repent and turn to God, and doing works worthy of repentance.
Act 26:21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the Temple, [and] tried to kill.
Act 26:22 Having therefore obtained help from God, I have stood to this day, testifying both to small and great,
        saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
Act 26:23 that the Christ{Messiah} should suffer, [and] that He should be the first by a resurrection of [the] dead,
        to preach Light to the people, and to the gentiles.
Act 26:24
        And thus as he replying as defence, Festus said with a great voice,
        Paul, Thou are insane; much learning does make Thee mad.
Act 26:25 But he says, I am not insane, most excellent Festus; but declare the sayings of truth and sobriety.
Act 26:26 For the king knows 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 is not done in a corner.
Act 26:27 King Agrippa, believe Thou the prophets? I have known that Thou believe.
Act 26:28 Now Agrippa said to Paul, In a little{Almost} Thou persuade me to become a Christian.
Act 26:29 But Paul said, I would wish to God, both in a little, and in much, not only Thee,
        but also all those hearing me today, to become such as I also am, except these bonds.
Act 26:30 And he having said these, the king rose, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.
Act 26:31 And they having withdrawn, they talked among one another,
        saying, This man does nothing worthy of death, or of bonds.
Act 26:32 Then said Agrippa to Festus, This man might have been released, if he had not appealed to Caesar.

Act 27:1 {Paul continue his Third missionary journey}.
        Now when it was determined that we should sail into Italy,
        they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to [one] named Julius, a centurion of [the] band of [the] emperor.
Act 27:2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail to the places alongside Asia,
        [one] Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Act 27:3 And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously treated Paul,
        and permitted [him], having gone to the friends to refresh himself.
Act 27:4 And we having launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds be contrary.
Act 27:5 And we having sailed over the open sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Mira, [a city] of Lycia.
Act 27:6 And there the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing into Italy; and he put us in it.
Act 27:7 And we having sailed slowly many days, and scarce having come opposed to Cnidus, the wind not allowing us,
        we sailed under Crete, opposed to Salmone:
Act 27:8 and hardly passing it, came to a place which being called Fair Havens; near to which was the city of Lasea.
Act 27:9 Now when much time having past, and the sailing being now dangerous, because the Fast have been already past, Paul admonished [them];
Act 27:10 saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage shall about to be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our souls.
Act 27:11 But the centurion believed the steersman and the captain more than the [things] being spoken by Paul.
Act 27:12 {The tempest}.
        And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part gave counsel to set sail thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phoenicia,
        [and there] to winter; [which is] a haven of Crete, and looking towards the south-west and north-west.
Act 27:13 And the south [wind] having blown softly, supposing that they have obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed closely by Crete.
Act 27:14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, being called Euroclydon.
Act 27:15 And the ship having been caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let [her] drive.
Act 27:16 And running under a certain isle which being called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
Act 27:17 which they having taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship;
        and fearing lest they should fall into the shoal, struck sail, and so were driven.
Act 27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next [day] they do a jettison.
Act 27:19 And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
Act 27:20 And neither sun nor stars in many days appeared,
        and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope [for] us to be saved was taken away.
Act 27:21 But after long abstinence, Paul having stood forth in the middle of them,
        and said, O men, ye should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete,
        and to have gained this harm and loss.
Act 27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of a soul among you, but of the ship.
Act 27:23 For there stood by me this night an Angel of GOD, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Act 27:24 saying, Fear not, Paul; before Caesar must Thee be brought: and behold, God has granted Thee all them that sail with Thee.
Act 27:25 Therefore, men, be of good cheer: for I believe God, so that it shall be even as it was told to me.
Act 27:26 But we must be cast upon a certain isle.
Act 27:27 {The shipwreck}.
        When the fourteenth night came, as we being driven up and down in Adria{Adriatic Sea},
        about midnight the sailors suspected that they drew near to some country.
Act 27:28 And they having sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms:
        and they having gone a little further, they sounded again, and found [it] fifteen fathoms.
Act 27:29 Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Act 27:30 But the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, they having let down the boat into the sea,
        under colour as though they would cast anchors out of the forepart,
Act 27:31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye not able to be saved.
Act 27:32 Then the soldiers cut off the cords of the boat, and let her fall.
Act 27:33 And until the day was coming on, Paul besought [them] all to take food,
        saying, Today is the fourteenth day that ye waiting, and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
Act 27:34 Therefore I beseech you to take [some] food; for this is for your safety:
        for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall.
Act 27:35 And he having said these, he having taken bread,
        and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and he having broken [it], he began to eat.
Act 27:36 Then they were all cheerfully, and they also took food.
Act 27:37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred seventy six souls.
Act 27:38 And having satisfied with food, they do a jettison, and cast the wheat into the sea.
Act 27:39 And when it became day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain bay with a shore,
        into which they consulted, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
Act 27:40 And they having taken away the anchors, they committed [themselves] to the sea,
        and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted the mainsail to the blowing [wind], and held towards the shore.
Act 27:41 And falling into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast,
        and remained immovable, but the stern was broken by the violence of the waves.
Act 27:42 And the soldiers' counsel came: that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them having swum out, [and] should escape.
Act 27:43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, hindered them from [their] purpose,
        and he commanded those being able to swim, having cast off first, to come to land:
Act 27:44 and the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship:
        And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
Act 28:1 {On the isle Melita}.
         And they having been escaped, then they knew that the isle is called Melita.
Act 28:2 And the barbarians showed us unusual kindness: for they kindled a fire,
        and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
Act 28:3 And Paul having gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid [them] on the fire,
         a viper having come out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Act 28:4 And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said to one another,
        Surely this man is a murderer, whom, though he having been saved from the sea, the justice permit not to live.
Act 28:5 Then indeed he shook off the beast into the fire, and suffered no harm.
Act 28:6 Yet they expected him to be swelled, or fallen down dead suddenly:
        but after they having looked a great while, and seeing no harm coming to him,
        they changing their minds, they said he [must] be a god.
Act 28:7 In the same place were possessions of the chief man of the isle, whose name [was] Publius;
        who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
Act 28:8 And it came to pass that the father of Publius lay [sick] being troubled with a fever, and a dysentery:
         to whom Paul having entered in, and having prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
Act 28:9 Then when this having happened, the others also who having diseases in the isle, came, and were healed:
Act 28:10 who also honoured us with many honours; and when we setting sail, they loaded [us] with such things as were necessary.

Act 28:11 {To Rome}.
        And after three months we sailed in an Alexandrian ship,
        which having wintered in the isle, whose sign was twin brothers{Castor and Pollux}.
Act 28:12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.
Act 28:13 Whence we wandered around, and came to Rhegium:
        and after one day the south [wind] blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
Act 28:14 where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went towards Rome.
Act 28:15 And from thence when the brethren having heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum,
        and the Three Taverns: whom Paul having seen, he having given thanks to God, and took courage.
Act 28:16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard:
        but Paul was allowed to abide by himself, with a soldier that kept him.
Act 28:17 {Paul preach in Rome}.
        And it came to pass, that after three days, Paul called together those who being chief of the Jews.
        And they having assembled, he said to them,
        Men, brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers,
        yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
Act 28:18 They who having examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
Act 28:19 But when the Jews spoke against [it], I was compelled to appeal to Caesar;
        not that I having aught to accuse my nation.
Act 28:20 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.
Act 28:21 But they said to him, We have neither received letters from Judea concerning Thee,
        neither have any of the brethren that came shown or spoken any evil of Thee.
Act 28:22 But we deem [it] worthy to hear from Thee, what Thou think: for as concerning this sect,
        we know that everywhere it is spoken against.
Act 28:23 And they having 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 until evening.
Act 28:24 And some believed the [things] being spoken, but some believed not.
Act 28:25 And they being discord among one another, they departed, after Paul having spoken one saying,
        Well spoke the Holy Spirit by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Act 28:26 saying, Go to this people, and say,
        Hearing ye shall hear,
        and shall not understand;
        and seeing ye shall see,
        and may not perceive. [Isa 6:9]
Act 28:27 For this people's heart has become gross,
        and they heard with the ears heavily,
        and their eyes they have closed;
        lest 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. [Isa 6:10]
Act 28:28 Let it be known therefore to you, that the Salvation of GOD is sent to the gentiles, and they shall hear it.
Act 28:29 And he having said these [things], the Jews departed, and having much disputation among themselves.
Act 28:30
        And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that coming in to him,
Act 28:31 preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching those things about the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence unrestrainedly.

Jas 1:1 [Scroll 28 Epistle of James].
        Jacobus{James}, a servant of GOD and of Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the dispersion, greeting.

Jas 1:2 My brethren, deem it all joy when ye may fall into diverse temptations.
Jas 1:3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith works patience.
Jas 1:4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and whole, lacking in nothing.
Jas 1:5 But if anyone of you is lacked of wisdom, let him asking from God, who giving to all liberally,
        and reproaching not; and it shall be given to him.
Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing.
        For he who doubting has been like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and being tossed.
Jas 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord.
Jas 1:8 A double-minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
Jas 1:9
        Let the humble brother boast in that he is exalted:
Jas 1:10 but the rich, in his humiliation: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
Jas 1:11 For the sun has no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and its flower falls,
        and the beauty of its appearance perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
Jas 1:12
        Blessed [is] the man that endures temptation: because when becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of life,
        which the Lord has promised to them that loving Him!
Jas 1:13 Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted by God: for God is not tempted with evil [things], and He tempts no one:
Jas 1:14 but every man is tempted, when he being drawn away by his own lust, and being enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and the sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.
Jas 1:16
         Be not deceived; my beloved brethren.
Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
        and comes down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Jas 1:18 Of His own will He has begotten us with the word of truth, for us to be a kind of first-fruit of His creatures.

Jas 1:19 Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jas 1:20 for the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.
Jas 1:21 Therefore having laid apart all filthiness and abundance of wickedness,
        and receive with meekness the grafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22 But become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Jas 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he has been like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
Jas 1:24 for he beholds himself, and has gone away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
Jas 1:25 But he who having looked into the perfect Law of Liberty, and continues [in it],
        he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
Jas 1:26
        If anyone among you seems to be religious,
        and bridling not his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, vain [is] this [man's] religion.
Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before the God and Father [is] this, to visit orphans and widows in their affliction,
        [and] to keep himself without spot from the World.

Jas 2:1 My brethren, have not with respect of persons{favouritism} the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of the glory.
Jas 2:2 For if there may come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in splendid clothing,
        and there also come in a poor man in vile clothing;
Jas 2:3 and ye may have respect him that wears splendid clothing,
        and may say to him, Sit Thou here in a good place;
        and may say to the poor, Stand Thou there, or sit here under my stool:
Jas 2:4 and are ye not partial among yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
Jas 2:5 Listen, My beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this World rich in faith,
        and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to them that loving Him?
Jas 2:6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment-seats?
Jas 2:7 Do they not blaspheme the good name by which ye was called?
Jas 2:8 However, if ye fulfil the royal Law according to the Scripture, Thou shall love Thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well. [Lev 19:18]
Jas 2:9 But if ye have respect of persons{favouritism}, ye work [in] sin, and being convicted by the Law as transgressors.
Jas 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet shall stumble in one [point], he has become liable of all.
Jas 2:11 For He who having said, Thou should not commit adultery; said also, Thou should not murder. [Exo 20:13-14]
        But if Thou shall commit no adultery, yet if Thou shall murder, Thou have become a transgressor of the Law.
Jas 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as about by a Law of Liberty to be judged.
Jas 2:13 For he [shall have] judgment without mercy that has shown no mercy; and mercy rejoices against judgment.

Jas 2:14 What [does it] profit, my brethren, though a man says to have faith, and may have not works?
        Can this faith save him?
Jas 2:15 But if a brother or sister is naked, and may be lacking daily food,
Jas 2:16 and one of you may say to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and filled;
        but ye may give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [does it] profit?
Jas 2:17 So also the faith, if it may have not works, is dead by itself.
Jas 2:18 But a man may say, Thou have faith, and I have works:
        show me Thy faith without Thy works, and I shall show Thee my faith by my works.
Jas 2:19 Thou believe that there is One GOD; Thou do well: the demons also believe, (and shudder).
Jas 2:20 But will Thou to know, O vain man, that <faith without works is dead>?
Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having offered Isaac his son upon the Altar? [Gen 22:9]
Jas 2:22 See Thou that faith work with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Jas 2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled,
        which saying, Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness: [Gen 15:6]
        and he was called the Friend of God. [Isa 41:8]
Jas 2:24 See ye then that by works a man is justified, and <not by faith only>.
Jas 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the whore justified by works,
        when she having received the messengers, and she having sent [them] out another way?
Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also the faith without works is dead.

Jas 3:1 My brethren, become not [as] many teachers, knowing that we shall receive a greater judgment.
Jas 3:2 For in many [things] we all stumble. If anyone stumbles not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
Jas 3:3 Behold, we put bits in the mouths of horses, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Jas 3:4 Behold also the ships, which though they are so great, and being driven by fierce winds,
        [yet they] are turned about by the smallest rudder, wherever the desire of him that steering may wish.
Jas 3:5 So also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
Jas 3:6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a World of unrighteousness: so is the tongue set among our members, that it defiles the whole body,
        and being set on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by Gehenna.
Jas 3:7 For all nature: beasts, both of birds and creeping things, both marine [lives that] is tamed and has been tamed by human nature:
Jas 3:8 but the tongue can no one of men to tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jas 3:9 With this we bless God, even the Father; and with this we curse men, who having been made after the similitude of God.
Jas 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these [things] ought not so to be.
Jas 3:11 Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?
Jas 3:12 Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives? Or a vine, figs? So no fountain [can] yield both salt water and fresh.

Jas 3:13 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?
        Let him show by a good behaviour his works with meekness of wisdom.
Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your heart, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Jas 3:15 This wisdom coming down not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, demonic.
Jas 3:16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] unrest and every evil matter.
Jas 3:17 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 unfeigned.
Jas 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to them that make peace.

Jas 4:1 Whence [come] wars and quarrels among you?
        [Come they] not hence, from your lusts that war in your members?
Jas 4:2 Ye lust and have not:
        ye murder, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:
        ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not,
        because ye ask evilly, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.
Jas 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
        have ye not known that the friendship of the World is enmity of God?
        Whoever therefore will to be a friend of the World is set the enemy of God.
Jas 4:5 Or do ye think that the Scripture says in vain,
        The spirit that dwelt in us lusts to envy?
Jas 4:6 But gives more grace. Therefore He says,
        God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. [Pro 3:34]
Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he shall flee from you.
Jas 4:8 Draw near to God, and He shall draw near to you.
        Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners, and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double-minded.
Jas 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Jas 4:10 Be humbled before the LORD, and He shall exalt you.
Jas 4:11 Speak not evil against one of another, brethren;
        he who speaking evil of [his] brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the Law,
        and judges the Law: but if Thou judges the Law, Thou are not a doer of the Law, but a judge.
Jas 4:12 There is One Lawgiver, who is able to save, and to destroy: who are Thou that judge another?

Jas 4:13 Come now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow,
        we may go into such a city, and may continue there one year, and may buy and sell and get gain:
Jas 4:14 whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow:
        For what [is] your life? For it is a vapour, that appearing for a little time, and then vanishing away.
Jas 4:15 Instead of that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, and we shall live, and may do this, or that.
Jas 4:16 But now ye boast in your vauntings: all such boasting is evil.
Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does [it] not, to him it is sin.

Jas 5:1 Come now, [ye] rich men, weep and howling for your miseries that are coming upon [you].
Jas 5:2 Your riches have become corrupted, and your garments have become moth-eaten.
Jas 5:3 Your gold and silver is corroded; and the rust of them shall be a testimony against you,
        and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye made treasure for the Last Days.
Jas 5:4 Behold, the reward of the labourers who have reaped your fields, which is by you kept back by fraud,
        cries: and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into the ears of the LORD of Sabaoth.
Jas 5:5 Ye lived in luxury on the Earth, and lived in pleasure; ye nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Jas 5:6 Ye condemned [and] murdered the just; [and] he does not resist you.
Jas 5:7
        Be patient, therefore, brethren, to the coming of the Lord.
        Behold, the Husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the Earth,
        and has long patience for it, until he receives rain (former and latter).
Jas 5:8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
Jas 5:9 Grumble not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, before the door has stood the Judge.
Jas 5:10 My brethren, take for an example of suffering affliction, and of endurance, the prophets,
        who have spoken in the name of the LORD.
Jas 5:11 Behold, we call them blessed who endure. Ye heard of the patience of Job,
        and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of compassion, and of tender mercy.
Jas 5:12 But before all [things], my brethren, swear not, neither by Heaven, neither by the Earth,
        neither by any other oath: but let your yes, be yes; and the no, no; lest ye may fall into judgment.
Jas 5:13 Is any among you endure evil? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing-psalms.
Jas 5:14 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:
Jas 5:15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;
        even if he has done sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Jas 5:16 Confess your trespasses one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
        An [energic] working prayer avails much of the righteous man.
Jas 5:17 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed [in] prayer [that it] not to rain:
        and it rained not on the land by the space of three years and six months.
Jas 5:18 And he prayed again, and the Heaven gave rain, and the Earth brought forth its fruit.
Jas 5:19 Brethren, if anyone among you should go astray from the truth, and one should convert him;
Jas 5:20 let him know, that he who having converted a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

1Pe 1:1 [Scroll 29 First Epistle of Peter].
        Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to [the] elect strangers [in the] dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1Pe 1:2 according to the foreknowledge of GOD [the] Father,
        in sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, may be multiplied.

1Pe 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
        Who according to His abundant mercy has begat us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Pe 1:4 to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in Heavens for you,
1Pe 1:5 who are being guarded in the power of God through faith to Salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1Pe 1:6 In which ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while (if need be) ye are in heaviness in manifold temptations:
1Pe 1:7 that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishing,
        though being tried with fire, might be found to praise, and honour, and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
1Pe 1:8 whom not having seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [Him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory:
1Pe 1:9 receiving the end of your faith, the Salvation of [your] souls.
1Pe 1:10 Concerning which Salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] to you:
1Pe 1:11 searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify,
        testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and after these the glories.
1Pe 1:12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they served the things which are now reported to you by them that have preached the Gospel to you,
        with [the] Holy Spirit sent from Heaven; which things the Angels desire to look into.

1Pe 1:13 Therefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, and perfectly hope for the grace that is being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1Pe 1:14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1Pe 1:15 but as He who having called you is Holy, also become ye Holy in all behaviour;
1Pe 1:16 because it has been written, Become ye Holy; for I AM Holy. [Lev 19:2]
1Pe 1:17 and if ye call on the Father,
         who impartially judging according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:
1Pe 1:18 Knowing that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,
        [as] silver or gold, from your vain behaviour [received] by tradition from your fathers;
1Pe 1:19 but as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot [is] the precious blood of Christ,
1Pe 1:20 who truly having been foreknown before the foundation of the World, but was manifested in these last times for you,
1Pe 1:21 who through Him do believe into God, that raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope to be in God.
1Pe 1:22 Ye having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit,
        to unfeigned brotherly love. Love ye one another with a pure heart fervently:
1Pe 1:23 being begotten again, not out of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
        by the Word of GOD, living and abiding forever.
1Pe 1:24 Because all <flesh> [is] as <grass>, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. [Isa 40:6]
        The grass withered, and its flower fell off: [Isa 40:7-8]
1Pe 1:25 but the saying of the Lord remains forever. [Isa 40:8]
        And this is the saying which by the Gospel was preached to you. [Isa 40:9]

1Pe 2:1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all backbitings,
1Pe 2:2 as new-born infants, desire the reasonable genuine milk, that ye by it may grow:
1Pe 2:3 if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
1Pe 2:4 To whom coming [as to] a living stone, having been rejected indeed by men, but God's elect, precious,
1Pe 2:5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual House, a Holy priesthood,
        to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1Pe 2:6 Therefore also it is contained in the Scripture,
        Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious:
        and he who believing upon Him should not be ashamed. [Isa 8:14 Isa 28:16]
1Pe 2:7 Therefore the honour [is] to you that believing:
        but to them who disobeying.
        [The] stone which the builders rejected,
        for this has become [the] head of [the] corner, [Psa 118:22]
1Pe 2:8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [Isa 8:14]
        [even to them] who stumble at the word, disobeying:
        to which also they were appointed.
1Pe 2:9 But ye [are] an elect kind,
        a royal priesthood, a Holy Nation, [Exo 19:6]
        a peculiar people; that ye may show forth the virtues,
        of Him who having called you out of darkness into His Marvellous Light:
1Pe 2:10 who in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of GOD:
        who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
1Pe 2:11
        Beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1Pe 2:12 having your behaviour honest among the gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers,
        they may by your good works, which they having beheld, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.
1Pe 2:13 Submit yourselves therefore to every human creation for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as being superior;
1Pe 2:14 or to governors, as to them that being sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1Pe 2:16 as free, and not having the liberty as cover of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1Pe 2:17 Honour all. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
1Pe 2:18 Household Servants, being subject to your masters with all reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the crooked.
1Pe 2:19
        For this [is] thank-worthy, if anyone for conscience towards GOD endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
1Pe 2:20 For what glory [is it], if, sinning and being buffeted, ye shall endure [it]?
        But if, when ye do well, and suffering [for it], ye shall endure it, this [is] acceptable with God.
1Pe 2:21 For even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.
1Pe 2:22 Who committed no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth. [Isa 53:9]
1Pe 2:23 Who, when He being reviled, reviled not back; when He suffered, He threatened not;
        but committed [Himself] to Him that judges righteously.
1Pe 2:24 Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to the sins,
        may live to the righteousness; by His wound ye were healed. [Isa 53:5-11]
1Pe 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer{Bishop} of your souls.
1Pe 3:1
        Likewise, ye wives, being subject to your own husbands;
        that, and if any disobey the word, they also may without a word may be gained by the behaviour of the wives;
1Pe 3:2 while they behold your pure behaviour [coupled] with fear.
1Pe 3:3 Of whom let it not be that outward [adorning] of braiding hairs, and of wearing gold, or of putting on fashion clothes of adornment;
1Pe 3:4 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.
1Pe 3:5 For so formerly also the Holy women, who hoped in God,
        adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands:
1Pe 3:6 even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children{daughters} ye are, [Gen 18:12]
        as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
1Pe 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwelling with [them] according to knowledge, giving honour to the wife,
        as to the weaker vessel, and as joint-heirs of [the] grace of life; that not be frustrated your prayers.

1Pe 3:8 But finally, [be ye] all like-minded, sympathetic, love as brethren, tender-hearted, courteous:
1Pe 3:9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary, blessing;
        knowing that ye are called to this, that ye should inherit a blessing.
1Pe 3:10 For he who willing love life, and see good days, [Psa 34:12]
        let him restrain his tongue from evil, [Psa 34:13]
        and his lips that they speak no guile: [Psa 34:13]
1Pe 3:11 let him shun evil, and do good;
        let him seek peace, and pursue it. [Psa 34:14]
1Pe 3:12 For the eyes of the LORD [are] over the righteous,
        and His ears [are open] to their prayers: [Psa 34:15]
        but the face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil. [Psa 34:16]
1Pe 3:13 And who [is] he who shall harming you, if ye may be followers of that which is good?
1Pe 3:14 But if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake,
        blessed [are ye]: and fear ye not of their fear, neither be troubled;
1Pe 3:15 but sanctify the LORD GOD in your hearts:
        and [be] ready always to [make] a defence to every [man] that asking you a reason of the hope in you, with meekness and fear.
1Pe 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they may speak evil of you, as of evil-doers,
        they may be ashamed that insulting your good behaviour in Christ.
1Pe 3:17 For [it is] better, to suffer for well-doing if the will of God wish it, than for evil-doing.
1Pe 3:18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God,
        being put to death in the flesh, but is vivified by the Spirit:
1Pe 3:19 in which also to the spirits in prison He went and preached;
1Pe 3:20 who formerly having disobeyed, when once the endurance of God waited in the days of Noah,
        while the ark was being prepared, in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. [Gen 7:13]
1Pe 3:21 Which [as] an antitype, baptism, does also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh,
        but the demand of a good conscience towards GOD), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1Pe 3:22 who is gone into Heaven, and is on [the] right [hand] of God;
        Angels, and authorities, and powers being made subject to Him.

1Pe 4:1 Therefore, Christ having suffered for us in the flesh,
        arm yourselves also with the same mind: for he who having suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
1Pe 4:2 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.
1Pe 4:3 For the time having past of [our] life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the gentiles,
        when we walked in lasciviousnesses, lusts, excesses of wine, revelings, banquetings, and unlawful idolatries:
1Pe 4:4 in which they are surprised that ye run not with [them] to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:
1Pe 4:5 who shall give account to Him having ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.
1Pe 4:6 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.
1Pe 4:7 But the end of all [things] has drawn near: be ye therefore sober, and watch to prayer.
1Pe 4:8 But before all [things] having intense love among yourselves: for love shall cover a multitude of sins.
1Pe 4:9 [Be] hospitable to one another without grudging.
1Pe 4:10 As each received the gift, serving it to yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1Pe 4:11 If anyone speaks [let him speak] as the Words of God;
        if anyone serves [let him do it] as of the ability which God gives: that God in all [things] may be glorified through Jesus Christ;
        to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen!

1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which is to tempt you,
        as though some strange thing happened to you:
1Pe 4:13 but rejoice, seeing ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings;
        so that also at the revealing of His glory ye may rejoice, having exceeding joy.
1Pe 4:14 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ,
        blessed [are ye]; for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
        On their part He is blasphemed of, but on your part He is glorified.
1Pe 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief, or [as] an evil-doer, or as a busy-body in other men's matters.
1Pe 4:16 But if [anyone suffers] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1Pe 4:17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the House of God:
         but if [it] first [begins] at us, what [is] the end of them that disobeying the Gospel of God?
1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the impious and the sinner appear? [Pro 11:31]
1Pe 4:19 Therefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God,
        commit the keeping of their souls [to Him] in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.

1Pe 5:1 The elders who [are] among you I exhort, who [am] also an elder,
        and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that about to be revealed.
1Pe 5:2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight,
        not constrainedly, but wilfully; not sordidly, but eagerly;
1Pe 5:3 neither as dominating over [His] heritage, but being examples to the flock.
1Pe 5:4 And the chief Shepherd having appeared, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
1Pe 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder.
        Yet, all [of you] being subject one to another, and be clothed with humility:
        for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
1Pe 5:6 Be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time:
1Pe 5:7 casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be watchful; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9 whom resist steadfast [in] the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brotherhood that are in the World.
1Pe 5:10 But the God of all grace, who has called us to His everlasting glory in Christ Jesus,
        after ye have suffered a while, Himself may perfect, may establish, may strengthen, may found you.
1Pe 5:11 To Him [be] the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen!

1Pe 5:12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I wrote briefly,
        exhorting, and testifying that this to be the true grace of God in which ye has stood.
1Pe 5:13 Salutes you, [she] the fellow-elected at Babylon, and Mark the son of me.
1Pe 5:14 Salute ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen!

2Pe 1:1 [Scroll 30 Second Epistle of Peter].
        Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
        to them that have obtained like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace may be multiplied to you in the full knowledge of GOD and of Jesus our Lord,
2Pe 1:3 according as His divine power has given to us all [things] that [pertain] to life and godliness,
        through the full knowledge of Him who having called us through glory and virtue:
2Pe 1:4 whereby are given to us the greatest and precious promises;
        that by these ye may become partakers of the divine nature,
        having escaped the corruption that is in the World in lust.
2Pe 1:5 And for this reason, having applied all diligence, supply to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2Pe 1:6 and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
2Pe 1:7 and to godliness brotherly love; and to brotherly love, love.
2Pe 1:8 For these [things] being in you, and abounding, they make [you] neither [be] idle nor unfruitful in the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:9 For in whom these [things] are not present, he is blind, being short-sighted, having taken on forgetfulness of the purification from his old sins.
2Pe 1:10 Therefore brethren, be diligent rather to make your calling and election sure: for doing these [things], ye may never strumble:
2Pe 1:11 for so an entrance shall be supplied to you richly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:12 Therefore, I shall not be negligent to put you always in remembrance,
        of these [things] although ye know [them], and are established in the present Truth.
2Pe 1:13 Indeed, I deem it right, as long as I am in this Tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;
2Pe 1:14 knowing that it is shortly I must put off [this] my Tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.
2Pe 1:15 But I also shall be diligent for ye to have, after my departure, to have these [things] always in remembrance.

2Pe 1:16 For we having not followed cunningly devised fables,
        when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
        but were eye-witnesses of His majesty.
2Pe 1:17 For He having received from God [the] Father honour and glory,
        such a voice having been brought to him by the excellent glory,
        This is My beloved Son, in whom I delighted. [Mat 17:5]
2Pe 1:18 And this voice which having been brought from Heaven we heard, when we being with Him on the Holy Mount.
2Pe 1:19 And we have more steadfast the prophetic word; to which ye do well that ye taking heed,
        as to a lamp that shining in a dark place, until the day should dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:
2Pe 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For prophecy was not being borne at any time by the will of man: but Holy men{Saints} of God spoke: being moved by [the] Holy Spirit.

2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people,
        even as there shall be false teachers among you, who shall privately bring in destructive heresies,
        even denying the Master that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their destructive ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be blasphemed.
2Pe 2:3 And in covetousness they shall make with feigned words merchandise of you:
        whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.
2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the Angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to Tartarus,
        and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;
2Pe 2:5 and spared not the ancient World, but saved [the] eighth, Noah a preacher of righteousness,
        bringing the flood upon the World of the impious;
2Pe 2:6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned [them] with an overthrow,
        making [them] an example to those who are about to be impious.
2Pe 2:7 And delivered righteous Lot, being oppressed by the lascivious behaviour of the lawless:
2Pe 2:8 (for that righteous [man] dwelling among them,
        in seeing and hearing, grieved [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] lawless works).
2Pe 2:9 The Lord has known [how] to deliver the devout out of temptations,
        and to keep [the] unjust being punished for [the] Day of Judgment:
2Pe 2:10 but especially 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 glories.
2Pe 2:11 Whereas Angels, who being greater in power and might, bring no blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute living beings, having been born for capture and corruption,
        blaspheming in what they not understand; and shall be ruined in their own corruption:
2Pe 2:13 they shall receiving the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that deem it pleasure in the day-time to riot.
        [They are] spots and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feasting with you;
2Pe 2:14 having eyes full of adultery, and cannot cease from sin; enticing unstable souls:
        they having a heart exercised covetousnesses; cursed children:
2Pe 2:15 who have forsaken the straight way, and gone astray,
        having followed the way of Balaam the [son] of Bosor{Beor}, who loved the reward of unrighteousness;
2Pe 2:16 but was rebuked for his lawlessness: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice, forbad the prophet's madness.
2Pe 2:17 These are fountains without water, clouds that being carried by a storm; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.
2Pe 2:18 For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh,
         through lasciviousnesses, those that had indeed escaped from them who walking in error.
2Pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption:
        for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage.
2Pe 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the World by [the] full knowledge of the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ,
        they are again entangled in them, and overcome, the last [state] has become worse with them than the first.
2Pe 2:21 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness,
        than, after they have known [it], to turn from the Holy Commandment delivered to them.
2Pe 2:22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb,
        The dog having turned back to his own vomit; [Pro 26:11]
        and the sow that having bathed, to her wallowing in the mire.

2Pe 3:1 This second letter, beloved, I now write to you;
        in [both] which I stir up your pure mind in a reminder:
2Pe 3:2 that ye may be mindful of the sayings which were said you before by the Holy prophets,
        and of the Commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2Pe 3:3 knowing this first, that there shall come in the Last Days mockers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 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.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that Heavens were of old,
        and the earth consisting out of water and through water subsisting by the Word of GOD:
2Pe 3:6 by which the World that then was, having been overflooded with water, perished.
2Pe 3:7 But the Heavens and the Earth, which are now, by the same word being kept in store,
        preserved to fire against a Day of Judgment and perdition of the impious men.
2Pe 3:8 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>.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning the promise, as some men deem slackness;
        but is patience towards us, not willing that any to perish, but that all to come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the Day of the LORD shall come as a thief in the night;
        in which the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements, being burnt with heat shall be dissolved,
        and the Earth also and the works that are in it shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11
        Therefore all these [things] being dissolved,
        what manner [of men] ought ye to be in Holy behaviours and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 looking for and hastening to the coming of the Day of God,
        in which the Heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements, being burnt with heat are melted?
2Pe 3:13 But according to His promise, we look for <New Heavens> and a <New Earth>, in which dwells righteousness. [Isa 65:17 Rev 21:1]
2Pe 3:14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found by Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2Pe 3:15 And deem [that] the endurance of our Lord [is] Salvation;
        even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom [that] was given to him, has written to you;
2Pe 3:16 as also in all [his] letters, speaking in them of these [things]; in which are some things hard to be understood,
        which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
2Pe 3:17
        Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye knowing beforehand, beware,
        lest ye being led away with the error of the lawless, ye may fall from your own steadfastness.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
        To Him [be] the glory both now and [the] Day of Eternity. Amen!

1Jn 1:1 [Scroll 31 First Epistle of John].
        That which was from [the] beginning, which we have heard,
        which we have seen with our eyes, which we beheld, and our hands touched, of the word of the Life;
1Jn 1:2 (for the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify,
        and show to you that everlasting life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us).
1Jn 1:3 That which we have seen and have heard we declare to you, that ye also may have communion with us:
        and truly our communion [is] with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.
1Jn 1:4 And these [things] we write to you, that your joy may be full.

1Jn 1:5 And this is the message which we have heard from Him,
        and declare to you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
1Jn 1:6 If we should say that we have communion with Him, and should walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1Jn 1:7 but if we should walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have communion one with another,
        and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleans us from all sin.
1Jn 1:8 If we should say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we should confess our sins, He is faithful and just, that He may forgive us [our] sins, and may cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 1:10 If we should say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

1Jn 2:1 My little children, these [things] I write to you, that ye may not sin.
        And if anyone may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous:
1Jn 2:2 and He is [the] propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the whole World.
1Jn 2:3 And by this we know that we have known Him, if we should keep His Commandments.
1Jn 2:4 <He who saying, I have known Him, and keeping not His Commandments, is a liar>, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoever may keep His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected: by this we know that we are in Him.
1Jn 2:6 He who saying, he stays in Him, ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.

1Jn 2:7 Brethren, I write no new Commandment to you, but an old Commandment which ye had from [the] beginning:
        The old Commandment is the Word which ye heard from [the] beginning.
1Jn 2:8 Again, a new Commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you:
        because the darkness is passing away, and the true Light now shines.
1Jn 2:9 He who saying, he be in the light, and hating his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1Jn 2:10 He who loving his brother stays in the light, and there is no offence in him.
1Jn 2:11 But he who hating his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness,
        and has not known where he goes, because darkness has blinded his eyes.
1Jn 2:12
         I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake.
1Jn 2:13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known Him [that is] from [the] beginning.
         I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the Evil.
         I write to you, children, because ye have known the Father.
1Jn 2:14 I wrote to you, fathers, because ye have known Him [that is] from [the] beginning.
         I wrote to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the Word of GOD stays in you, and ye have overcome the Evil.
1Jn 2:15
        Love not the World, neither the things [that are] in the World.
        If anyone should love the World, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jn 2:16 For all that [is] in the World, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,
        and the vaunting of life, is not from the Father, but is from the World.
1Jn 2:17 And the World is passing away, and the lust of it: but he who doing the will of God abides forever.

1Jn 2:18 Children, it is [the] last hour: and as ye heard that the Antichrist comes,
        and now many antichrists have come; whence we know that it is [the] last hour.
1Jn 2:19 They went out from us,
        but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would had remained with us:
        but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.
1Jn 2:20 But ye have an anointing from the Holy [One], and ye have known all [things].
1Jn 2:21 I wrote not to you because ye have not known the truth,
        but because ye have known it, and that no lie is of the truth.
1Jn 2:22 Who is the liar except he who denying that Jesus is the Christ{Messiah}?
        This is the Antichrist, that denying the Father and the Son.
1Jn 2:23 Whoever denying the Son, the same has not the Father.
1Jn 2:24 Let [that] therefore abide in you, which ye heard from [the] beginning.
        If that which ye heard from [the] beginning may abide in you,
        ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
1Jn 2:25 And this is the promise that He has promised us, everlasting life.
1Jn 2:26
        These [things] I wrote to you concerning them that seducing you.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye received from Him stays in you,
        and ye need not that anyone should teach you:
        but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all [things], and is true,
        and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in Him.

1Jn 2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him; that when He should appear,
        we may have confidence, and may not be ashamed from Him at His coming.
1Jn 2:29 If ye may know that He is righteous ye know that every one that doing righteousness has been begotten of Him.

1Jn 3:1 Behold, what manner of <love the Father> has given upon us,
        that we should be called the children of GOD: therefore the World knows us not, because it knew not Him.
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now <we are the children of GOD>, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be:
        but we have known that, when He may be manifested, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
1Jn 3:3 And every [man] that having this hope in Him purifies himself, even as He is pure.
1Jn 3:4 Whoever that doing the sin also does lawlessness, and <the sin is lawlessness>.
1Jn 3:5 And ye have known that He was manifested that our sins He may take away; and in Him is no sin.
1Jn 3:6 Whoever abiding in Him sins not: whoever sins has not seen Him, neither has known Him.
1Jn 3:7
        Little children, let no man deceive you.
        He who doing the righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.
1Jn 3:8 He who doing the sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from [the] beginning.
        For this [purpose] the Son of God was manifested, that He might break the works of the devil.
1Jn 3:9 Whoever has been begotten of God does not sin; for His seed abides in him:
        and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.
1Jn 3:10 In this the children of GOD are manifest, and the children of the devil:
        whoever doing not righteousness is not of God, neither he who loving not his brother.
1Jn 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from [the] beginning, that we should love one another.
1Jn 3:12 Not as Cain, [who] was of the Evil, and slew his brother.
        And why did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
1Jn 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the World hate you.
1Jn 3:14 We have known that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren.
        He who loving not [the] brethren, abides in death.
1Jn 3:15 Whoever hating his brother, is a murderer:
        and ye have known that no murderer has everlasting life abiding in him.
1Jn 3:16 By this we have known the love, because He laid down His soul for us:
        and we ought to lay down [our] souls for the brethren.
1Jn 3:17 But whoever may have the World's good, and may see his brother having need,
        and shuts up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how abides the love of God in him?
1Jn 3:18
        My little children, let us not love [in] word, neither [in] tongue, but [in] work and [in] truth.
1Jn 3:19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before Him.
1Jn 3:20 That if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart, and knows all [things].
1Jn 3:21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, [then] have we confidence to God.
1Jn 3:22 And whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His Commandments,
        and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is His Commandment; that we should believe [into] the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another,
        as He gave us Commandment.
1Jn 3:24 And he who keeping His Commandments, abides in Him, and He in him.
        And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they are of God:
        because many false prophets have gone out into the World.
1Jn 4:2 By this ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ having come in flesh, is from God:
1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ having come in flesh, is not from God. And this is that of the Antichrist,
        of which ye have heard that it comes; and even now already it is in the World.
1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
        because greater is He who is in you, than He who is in the World.
1Jn 4:5 They are of the World: therefore they speak from the World, and the World hears them.
1Jn 4:6 We are of God: he who knowing God, hears us; he who is not of God,
        hears not us. By this we know the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error.

1Jn 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from God;
        and every one that loving has been begotten of God, and knows God.
1Jn 4:8 He who loving not, knows not God; for God is love.
1Jn 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God in us,
        because that God has sent His Son, the only-begotten into the World, that we might live through Him.
1Jn 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son [to be the] propitiation for our sins.
1Jn 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also one another to love.
1Jn 4:12 No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
1Jn 4:13
        By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
1Jn 4:14 And we have seen and do testify, that the Father has sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the World.
1Jn 4:15 Whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1Jn 4:16 And we have known and have believed the love that God has to us.
        God is love: and he who abiding in love, abides in God, and God in him.
1Jn 4:17 In this love has been perfected with us, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment:
        because as He is, so are we in this World.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear:
        because fear has punishment. He who fearing, is not made perfect in love.
1Jn 4:19 We love Him, because He first loved us.
1Jn 4:20 If any may say, I love God, and may hate his brother,
        he is a liar. For he who loving not his brother, whom he has seen,
        how can he love God, whom he has not seen?
1Jn 4:21 And this Commandment have we from Him, that he who loving God, also should love his brother.

1Jn 5:1 Whoever believing that Jesus is the Christ{Messiah}, has been begotten of God:
        and every one that loving Him that was begotten, loves Him also that has been begotten by Him.
1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of GOD, when we love God, and we should keep His Commandments.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we should keep His Commandments; and His Commandments are not grievous.
1Jn 5:4 For whatever has been begotten of God, overcomes the World:
        and this is the overcoming that has overcome the World: our faith.
1Jn 5:5 Who is he who overcoming the World,
        except he who believing that Jesus is the Son of God?
1Jn 5:6
        This is He who having come through water and blood,
        Jesus the Christ{Messiah}; not by water only, but by water and blood.
        And it is the Spirit that bears testimony, because the Spirit is the truth.
1Jn 5:7 For there are three that testifying:
1Jn 5:8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are [agree] in one.
1Jn 5:9 If we receive the testimony of men, greater is the testimony of God:
        for this is the testimony of God which He has testified of His Son.
1Jn 5:10 He who believing into the Son of God has the witness in himself:
        He who not believing God, has made Him [out to be] a liar,
        because he has not believed the testimony that God gave of the Son of Him.
1Jn 5:11 And this is the testimony,
        that God gave to us everlasting life: and this life in His Son.
1Jn 5:12 He who having the Son, has life;
         he who having not the Son of God, has not life.
1Jn 5:13 These [things] I wrote to you that believing into the name of the Son of God;
        that ye may know that ye have everlasting life, and that ye may believe into the name of the Son of God.

1Jn 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have to Him,
        that <if anything that we may ask according to His will, He hears us>:
1Jn 5:15 and if we have known that He hears us, whatever we may ask,
        we have known that we have the requests that we have desired from Him.

1Jn 5:16 If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin [which is] not to death,
        he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sinning not to death.
        There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
1Jn 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death.
1Jn 5:18 We have known that whoever has been begotten of God, sins not;
        but that was begotten of God, keeps himself, and the Evil touches him not.
1Jn 5:19 We have known that we are of God, and the whole World lies in the Evil.
1Jn 5:20 But we have known that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding,
        that we may know Him that is True, and we are in Him that is True,
        in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True God, and everlasting life.
1Jn 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen!

2Jn 1:1 [Scroll 32 Second Epistle of John].
        The elder to [the] elect lady, and her children, whom I love in truth;
        and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2Jn 1:2 for the truth's sake which abiding in us, and shall be with us forever.
2Jn 1:3 Grace, mercy, [and] peace shall be with you from God [the] Father,
        and from Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2Jn 1:4 I rejoiced greatly, that I have found of Thy children walking in truth,
        as we received a Commandment from the Father.
2Jn 1:5
        And now I beseech Thee, lady, not as though I writing a new Commandment to Thee,
        but that which we had from [the] beginning, that we love one another.
2Jn 1:6 And this is the love, that we should walk according to His Commandments.
        This is the Commandment, as ye heard from [the] beginning, that ye should walk in it.

2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers entered into the World,
        who confess not that Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver, and the Antichrist.
2Jn 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we may lose not those things which we have wrought, but [that] we may receive a full reward.
2Jn 1:9 Whoever transgressing, and not abiding in the doctrine of Christ, has not God.
        He who abiding in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.
2Jn 1:10
        If anyone comes to you, and brings not this doctrine,
        receive him not into [your] house, and neither say to him rejoice:
2Jn 1:11 for he saying him to rejoice, is partaker of his evil works.

2Jn 1:12 Having many [things] to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink:
        but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
2Jn 1:13 The children of Thy elect sister salute Thee. Amen!

3Jn 1:1 [Scroll 33 Third Epistle of John].
        The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
3Jn 1:2 Beloved, I wish for Thee to prosper concerning all [things] and be in health, even as Thy soul is prospered.
3Jn 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, [when] brethren coming and testifying of the truth in Thee, even as Thou walks in truth.
3Jn 1:4 I have no greater joy than I may hear that my children walking in truth.
3Jn 1:5
        Beloved, faithful Thou do whatever Thou may do to the brethren, and to the strangers;
3Jn 1:6 who have borne testimony of Thy love before the Church:
        whom Thou shall do well having sent forward worthily of God;
3Jn 1:7 because for His name's sake they went forth, taking nothing from the gentiles.
3Jn 1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow-workers to the truth.

3Jn 1:9 I wrote to the Church: but Diotrephes, who loving to have the pre-eminence among them, receives not us.
3Jn 1:10 Therefore, if I should come, I shall remember his works which he does, prating with malicious words against us:
        and not being content with that, neither does he himself receive the brethren,
        and forbids them that wanting, and casts [them] out of the Church.
3Jn 1:11
        Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good,
        he who doing good is of God; but he who doing evil has not seen God.
3Jn 1:12
        Demetrius has been testified by all, and by itself: the truth,
        and we also bear testimony; and so ye have known that our testimony is true.

3Jn 1:13 I had many [things] to write, but I will not with ink and pen write to Thee:
3Jn 1:14 but I hope immediately to see Thee, and we shall speak mouth to mouth.
        Peace [be] to Thee. The friends salute Thee. Salute the friends by name.

Jud 1:1 [Scroll 34 Epistle of Jude].
        Judas{Jude}, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,
        to them who having been sanctified by God [the] Father, and preserved [in] Jesus Christ, [and] called.
Jud 1:2 Mercy to you, and peace, and love, may be multiplied.
Jud 1:3
        Beloved, when I using all diligence to write to you concerning the common Salvation,
        it was needful for me to write to you, exhorting to agonize for the faith once delivered to the Saints.
Jud 1:4 For some men have crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
        impious [men], turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,
        and denying the only Master God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jud 1:5
        But I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye knowing once this, that the Lord,
        having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, the second [time], destroyed them that not believed.
Jud 1:6 And the Angels who kept not their first state, but left their own habitation,
        He has reserved in eternal bonds under darkness to the judgment of the great day.
Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to impurity,
        and going after other flesh, are set forth for an example, undergoing the vengeance of everlasting fire.

Jud 1:8 However, likewise these dreaming also defile flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of glories.
Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the Archangel, when contending with the devil he reasoned about the body of Moses,
        dared not bring against him a judgment of blasphemy, but said, May the Lord rebuke Thee.
Jud 1:10 But these, of those things which they have not known, they speak evil:
        but what they know naturally, as brute living beings, in those things they are corrupted.
Jud 1:11
        Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain,
        and run greedily after the error for reward of Balaam,
        and perished in the contradiction of Korah.
Jud 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of love, when they feasting with you,
        shepherding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water,
        being carried about by winds; autumnal trees,
        unfruitful, twice dead, plucked out by the roots;
Jud 1:13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars,
        to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

Jud 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,
        saying, Behold, the LORD comes with myriads of His Saints,
Jud 1:15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all that are impious among them,
        of all their impiety works which they were impious,
        and of all their hard [speeches] which impious sinners have spoken against Him.
Jud 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts;
        and their mouth speaks great swelling [words], marvelling persons because of advantage.

Jud 1:17 But beloved, remember ye the sayings which were said you before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Jud 1:18 that they told you there shall be mockers in the last time, who would walk after their own impiety lusts.
Jud 1:19 These are they who separating themselves, natural, having not [the] Spirit.
Jud 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most Holy faith, praying by the Holy Spirit,
Jud 1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to everlasting life.
Jud 1:22 And of some have mercy, making a difference:
Jud 1:23 and others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the coat spotted by the flesh.
Jud 1:24
        Now to Him that is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present [you] faultless before His glory in gladness,
Jud 1:25 to the only wise God, our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen!

Rom 1:1 [Scroll 35 Epistle to the Romans].
        Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, separated to the Gospel of God,
Rom 1:2 (which He promised before by His prophets in the Holy Scriptures).
Rom 1:3 Concerning His Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh.
Rom 1:4 Who has been declared [to be] the Son of God, with power, according to the Spirit of Holiness,
        by the resurrection of the dead: (of Jesus Christ our Lord).
Rom 1:5 By whom we received grace and apostleship to obedience of faith among all nations for His name:
Rom 1:6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ.

Rom 1:7 To all that being in Rome, beloved of God, called Saints:
        Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom 1:8 First, I give thanks [to] my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is preached in the whole World.
Rom 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of His Son,
        that I make constantly mention of you,
Rom 1:10 always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall be prospered, by the will of God, to come to you.
Rom 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Rom 1:12 and that is, to be comforted together with you, through the mutual faith both of you and me.
Rom 1:13 Now I will not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
        that I have often purposed to come to you,
        (but have been until now hindered) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other gentiles.
Rom 1:14 I am debtor both to Greeks{gentiles}, and to barbarians, both to wise and to fools.
Rom 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you; also that are at Rome.

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ:
        for it is the power of God to Salvation to every one who believing; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek{gentile}.
Rom 1:17 For in this the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith: as it has been written,
        The just shall live by faith. [Hab 2:4]

Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all impiety,
        and unrighteousness of men, who holding the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 because that which may be known of God, is manifest in them; for God has shown [it] to them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the World are clearly seen,
        being understood by the makings, both His eternal power and divinity; for them to be inexcusable:
Rom 1:21 because having known God, they glorified Him not as God, neither gave thanks,
        but became vain in their imaginations, and darkened was their foolish heart.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools:
Rom 1:23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God in [the] likeness of an image to corruptible man,
        and to birds, and four-footed [animals], and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, by the lusts of their own hearts,
        to dishonour their own bodies among themselves:
Rom 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God in the lie, and worshiped and served the creation more than who created it, who is blessed forever. Amen!
Rom 1:26
        Therefore God gave them up to vile affections.
        For even their females exchanged the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 and likewise also the males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust one towards another;
        males with males working out indecency, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was needful.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not approve to have God in [their] full knowledge,
        God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Rom 1:29 being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
        maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, guile, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 backbiters, God-haters, insolent, proud, braggarts, inventers of evil things, to parents disobedient,
Rom 1:31 foolish, Covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 who, having known the judgment of God, that they who doing such things are worthy of death; not only do the same, but consent in them that do them.
Rom 2:1
        Therefore Thou are inexcusable, O man, whoever Thou are, that judging: for in which Thou judge another,
        Thou condemn thyself; for Thou that judging, do the same things.
Rom 2:2 But we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, against them who do such things.
Rom 2:3 And think Thou this, O man, that judge them who doing such things, and doing the same, that Thou shall escape the judgment of God?
Rom 2:4 Or despise Thou the riches of His kindness, and forbearance, and endurance; not knowing that the goodness of God leads Thee to repentance?
Rom 2:5
        But after Thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasure up to thyself wrath against a day of wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Rom 2:6 who shall render to every man according to his works. [Psa 62:12]
Rom 2:7
        To them who by patience, good work, seek for glory, and honour, and incorruption; everlasting life:
Rom 2:8 but to them that are contentious, and disobeying the truth, but obeying unrighteousness; indignation and wrath:
Rom 2:9 tribulation and distress upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek{gentile};
Rom 2:10 but glory, honour, and peace, to all that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek{gentile}.
Rom 2:11
        For there is no respect of persons{favouritism} with GOD;
Rom 2:12 for as many as sinned without Law, shall also perish without Law: and as many as sinned in Law, through Law shall be judged;
Rom 2:13 (for not the hearers of the Law [are] just before God, but the doers of the Law shall be justified;
Rom 2:14 for when the gentiles, who have not the Law, should do by nature the things contained in the Law, these having not the Law, are a Law to themselves.
Rom 2:15 Who show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing testimony,
         and between one another the thoughts accusing or even replying as defence).
Rom 2:16 In the day when GOD shall judge the secrets of men, according to my Gospel by Jesus Christ.
Rom 2:17
        Behold, Thou are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and make Thy boast of God,
Rom 2:18 and know the will, and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law,
Rom 2:19 and have confidence that thyself be a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness,
Rom 2:20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, who have the form of knowledge, and of the truth in the Law:
Rom 2:21 Thou therefore who teach another, teach Thou not thyself?
         Thou that preach a man should not steal, do Thou steal?
Rom 2:22 Thou that saying a man should not commit adultery, do Thou commit adultery?
         Thou that abhor idols, do Thou commit sacrilege?
Rom 2:23 Thou that make Thy boast of the Law, through breaking the Law dishonour Thou God?
Rom 2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the gentiles, through you, as it has been written. [Isa 52:5]
Rom 2:25 For circumcision truly profits, if Thou may keep the Law;
        but if Thou are a breaker of the Law, Thy circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Rom 2:26 Therefore, if the uncircumcision keeps the righteousness of the Law,
        shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Rom 2:27 And shall [it] judge Thee? Uncircumcision which is by nature, fulfilling the Law,
         who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the Law?
Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, who is [one] outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Rom 2:29 but he [is] a Jew who is [one] inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of heart, in spirit, not in letter;
        whose praise [is] not from men, but from God.
Rom 3:1
        What advantage then has the Jew? Or what [is] the profit of circumcision?
Rom 3:2 Much every manner: first, for that to them were entrusted the Words of God.
Rom 3:3 For what if some disbelieved? Shall their unbelief nullify the faith of God?
Rom 3:4 Let it not be: truly let God be true, but every man a liar; as it has been written, that Thou may be justified in Thy sayings, and may overcome when Thee are judged. [Psa 51:4]
Rom 3:5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, What shall we say?
        [Is] God unjust who inflicting wrath? (I speak as a man).
Rom 3:6 Let it not be: for then how shall God judge the World?
Rom 3:7 For if the truth of God has more abounded by my lie to His glory; why yet am I as a sinner also judged?
Rom 3:8 And not [rather] (as we are blasphemed, and as some affirm that we say);
        Let us do evil, that good may come? Whose judgment is just.
Rom 3:9
        What then? Are we better? Surely not:
        for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks{gentiles}, that they be all under sin.
Rom 3:10 As it has been written,
        There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11 there is none who is understanding, there is none that is seeking after God. [Psa 14:2 Psa 53:2]
Rom 3:12 They all turned aside, they are together became unprofitable:
        there is none that doing good, no, not one. [Psa 14:3 Psa 53:3]
Rom 3:13 Their throat [is] an open sepulchre with their tongues they have used deceit; [Psa 5:9]
        the poison of asps [is] under their lips. [Psa 140:3]
Rom 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. [Psa 10:7]
Rom 3:15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood. [Isa 59:7]
Rom 3:16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways. [Isa 59:7]
Rom 3:17 And [the] way of peace have they not known. [Isa 59:8]
Rom 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. [Psa 36:1]
Rom 3:19
        Now we have known that whatever things the Law says, it said to them who are in the Law:
        that every mouth may be stopped, and all the World may become guilty before God.
Rom 3:20 Because by works of Law, there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by [the] Law [is] full knowledge of sin.
Rom 3:21
        But now the righteousness of God apart from the Law is manifested, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;
Rom 3:22 even the righteousness of God, [which is] through faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all them that believing; for there is no difference:
Rom 3:23 for all sinned, and are came short of the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 being justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 3:25 whom God has set forth [to be] a mercy-seat, through the faith in His blood,
        as demonstration of His righteousness for the passing over of sins that are past, in the forbearance of God.
Rom 3:26 As demonstration, at present time His righteousness: for Him to be just, and justifying him that [is] of the faith of Jesus.
Rom 3:27 Where [is] the boasting then? It was excluded. By what Law? Of works? No; but by [the] Law of faith.
Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith apart [from] works of Law.
Rom 3:29 Or [is He] the God of the Jews only? [Is He] not also of the Greeks{gentiles}?
        Yes, also of the Greeks{gentiles}:
Rom 3:30 since [there is] One GOD who shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void [the] Law through the faith?
        Let it not be: but we establish [the] Law.
Rom 4:1
        What then shall we say? That Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh?
Rom 4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has a boasting, but not to God.
Rom 4:3 For what says the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. [Gen 15:6]
Rom 4:4 Now to him that works, is the reward not counted of grace, but of debt.
Rom 4:5 But to him that works not, but believing upon Him that justifying the impious, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 4:6 Even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
Rom 4:7 [saying],
        Blessed [are] they whose iniquities were forgiven,
         and whose sins were covered! [Psa 32:1]
Rom 4:8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the LORD may not count sin! [Psa 32:2]
Rom 4:9
        [comes] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only], or upon the uncircumcision also?
        For we say that faith was counted to Abraham for righteousness. [Gen 15:6]
Rom 4:10 How then was it counted? Being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision?
        Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Rom 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision,
        a seal of the righteousness of the faith, which [he had] being uncircumcised:
        that he be the father of all them that believing,
        though they are not circumcised, that righteousness might be counted to them also;
Rom 4:12 and the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only,
        but who also march in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which [he had] being uncircumcised.
Rom 4:13
        For the promise that He be the heir of the World [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed,
        through the Law, but through righteousness of faith.
Rom 4:14 For if they who are of the Law [are] heirs, faith is made void, and has been nullified the promise;
Rom 4:15 for the Law works wrath: for where no Law is, [there is] no transgression.
Rom 4:16 Therefore of faith, that according to grace; to the end the promise: to 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.
Rom 4:17 As it has been written, I have made Thee a father of many nations; before Him whom he believed, [Gen 17:5]
        God, who vivifying the dead, and calling those things which being not as those that being.
Rom 4:18 Who against hope believed with hope, that he should become the father of many nations; [Gen 17:5 Gen 15:5]
        according to that which has been spoken, So shall be Thy seed.
Rom 4:19 And not having been weak [in] the faith, he considered not his own body now dead,
         being about a hundred years [old], neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb.
Rom 4:20 Yet he doubted not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God;
Rom 4:21 and being fully persuaded, that what he has promised, he is able also to perform.
Rom 4:22 And therefore it was counted to him for righteousness. [Gen 15:6]
Rom 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was counted to him;
Rom 4:24 but for us also, to whom it should be counted, to those that believing upon Him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
Rom 4:25 who was delivered for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Rom 5:1
        Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Rom 5:2 by whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and boast in hope of the glory of God.
Rom 5:3 And not only [so], but we boast also in tribulations; knowing that tribulation works patience;
Rom 5:4 and patience, trial; and trial, hope:
Rom 5:5 and the hope makes not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit which was given to us.
Rom 5:6 For yet we being weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.
Rom 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man shall one die: for perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.
Rom 5:8 But God commends His love to us, in that while we being yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, now having been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Rom 5:10 For if when we being enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son;
        much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Rom 5:11 And not only [so], but we also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,
        by whom we now received the reconciliation.
Rom 5:12 Therefore as by one man the sin entered into the World, and death by sin;
        and so death passed upon all men, for that all sinned.
Rom 5:13 For until the Law, sin was in the World: but sin is not imputed when there being no Law.
Rom 5:14 But death reigned from Adam to Moses,
        even over them that had not sinned in the likeness of the transgression of Adam,
        who is the figure of Him that was to come.
Rom 5:15 But not as the trespass, so also [is] the gift.
        For if through the trespass of one many are dead,
        much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,
        [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to many.
Rom 5:16 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift.
        For the judgment [was] by one to condemnation,
        but the gift [is] of many trespasses to justification.
Rom 5:17 For since by the trespass of one, death reigned by one;
        much more they who receive abundance of grace,
        and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
Rom 5:18 So then, as by the trespass of one, [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation,
        so also by the righteousness of One, [the gift came] upon all men to justification of life.
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,
        so also by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.
Rom 5:20 And the Law entered, that the trespass might abound.
        But where the sin abounded, the grace did over-abounded:
Rom 5:21 that as the sin reigned in death,
        so also might grace reign through righteousness to everlasting life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom 6:1 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in the sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 Let it not be: we who died to the sin, how shall we still live in it?
Rom 6:3 Or are ye ignorant, that so many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into His death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead,
        by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have become planted together in the likeness of His death, but we shall be also [in the likeness] of [His] resurrection:
Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him],
        that the body of the sin may be destroyed, that we no longer to serve the sin.
Rom 6:7 For he who died has been justified from the sin.
Rom 6:8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him:
Rom 6:9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death has no more lordship over Him.
Rom 6:10 For in that He died, He died to the sin once: but in that He lives, He lives to God.
Rom 6:11 So also ye, count yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin,
        but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Rom 6:12 Let not the sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to obey it in the lusts of it;
Rom 6:13 neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness to the sin:
        but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead,
        and your members [as] instruments of righteousness to God:
Rom 6:14 for sin shall not have lordship over you: for ye are not under Law, but under grace;
Rom 6:15 what then? Shall we sin, because we are not under Law, but under grace?
        Let it not be;
Rom 6:16 have ye not known that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience,
        His servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
Rom 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the bondmen of the sin;
        but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Rom 6:18 Being then made free from the sin, ye were the servants of righteousness.
Rom 6:19 I speak after the human manner, because of the infirmity of your flesh:
        for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to lawlessness, to ([work]) lawlessness;
        so now yield your members servants to righteousness, to ([work]) sanctification.
Rom 6:20 For when ye were the bondmen of the sin, ye were free to the righteousness.
Rom 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things of which ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things [is] death.
Rom 6:22 But now having been made free from the sin, and having become servants to God,
        ye have your fruit to sanctification, and the end everlasting life.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of the sin [is] death: but the gift of GOD [is] everlasting life, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Rom 7:1  Or are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the Law);
        that the Law has lordship over a man as long as he may live?
Rom 7:2 For the married woman has been bound by the law to the living husband;
        but if the husband may die, she has been loosed from the Law of the husband.
Rom 7:3 So then, while the husband living, [but] she is married to another man, she shall be divinely called an adulteress:
        but if the husband is dead, she is free from that Law; so that she be no adulteress,
        though she [is] become [married] to another man.
Rom 7:4 Therefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the Law by the body of Christ;
        that ye should become [married] to another,
        to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.
Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, which were by the Law,
        did work in our members to bring forth fruit to death:
Rom 7:6 but now we are delivered from the Law, having died by which we were held;
        that we serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the oldness of the letter.
Rom 7:7 What then shall we say? [Is] the Law sin?
        Let it not be. But I did not know sin except through Law:
        for I had not known lust, except the Law said, Thou shall not covet. [Exo 20:17]
Rom 7:8 But the sin, taking occasion by the Commandment,
        wrought in me all manner of lust. For without the Law sin [was] dead.
Rom 7:9 But I was alive without the Law once: but when the Commandment came, the sin revived, and I died.
Rom 7:10 And the Commandment which [was ordained] to life, I was found [to be] to death.
Rom 7:11 For the sin, taking occasion by the Commandment, deceived me, and by it killed [me].
Rom 7:12 Therefore the Law [is] Holy, and the Commandment Holy, and just, and good.
Rom 7:13 Then has the good become death to me?
        Let it not be.
        But the sin, that it might appear sin,
        working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the Commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Rom 7:14 For we have known that the Law is spiritual: but I am fleshly, having been sold under the sin.
Rom 7:15 For that which I work, I know not: for what I will, that I do not; but what I hate, that I do.
Rom 7:16 But if then I do that which I will not, I consent to the Law that [it is] good.
Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that work it, but the sin that dwelling in me.
Rom 7:18 For I have known that in me (that is, in my flesh), dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me;
        but [how] to perform that which is good, I find not.
Rom 7:19 For the good that I will, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:20 But if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that work it, but the sin that dwelling in me.
Rom 7:21 I find then a Law, that when I willing to do good, evil is present with me.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the Law of GOD, after the inward man:
Rom 7:23 but I see another Law in my members warring against the Law of my mind,
        and bringing me into captivity to the Law of the sin which being in my members.
Rom 7:24 Wretched man [that] I [am]! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 I give thanks [to] 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.
Rom 8:1
        [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them [who are] in Christ Jesus,
        who walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the Law of the Spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, has made me free from the Law of the sin and death.
Rom 8:3 For what was impossible by the Law, in that it was weak through the flesh,
        God, having sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned the sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 that the righteousness of the Law should be fulfilled in us,
        who walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Rom 8:5 For they that being according to the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh:
        but they that [being] according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For the mind-set of the flesh [is] death; but for the mind-set of the Spirit [is] life and peace:
Rom 8:7 because the mind-set of the flesh [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of GOD, for neither can it [be].
Rom 8:8 But those being in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in flesh, but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
         But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
Rom 8:10 But if Christ [is] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him that having raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
        He who having raised the Christ{Messiah} from the dead shall also vivify your mortal bodies by His Spirit who dwelling in you.
Rom 8:12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live according to the flesh, ye are about to die:
        but if ye [by the] Spirit put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, these are the sons of GOD.
Rom 8:15 For ye received not the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye received [the] Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father!
Rom 8:16 The same Spirit testifies with our spirit, that we are the children of GOD:
Rom 8:17 but if children, also heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
        if indeed we suffer with Him, that also we may be glorified together.
Rom 8:18
        For I count, that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which to be revealed in us.
Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revelation of the sons of GOD.
Rom 8:20 For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who has subjected [the same] in hope:
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be make free from the bondage of corruption, into the glory of liberty of the children of GOD.
Rom 8:22 For we have known that the whole creation groans, and travails in pain together until now:
Rom 8:23 and not only [they], but ourselves also, who having the first-fruit of the Spirit,
        even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
Rom 8:24 For we were saved in hope: But hope that being seen, is not hope:
        for what a man sees, why does he also hope?
Rom 8:25 But if we hope for what we see not, [then] with patience we wait for [it].
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we have not known what we should pray for as we ought:
        but the same Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Rom 8:27 And He who searching the hearts has known what [is] the mind-set of the Spirit,
        because He makes intercession for the Saints, according to [the will of] God.
Rom 8:28 But we have known that to them that loving God all [things] work together for good,
        to them who being called according to [His] purpose.
Rom 8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of His Son,
        for Him to be the first-born among many brethren.
Rom 8:30 And whom He did predestinate, them He also called:
        and whom He called, them He also justified:
        and whom He justified, them He also glorified.
Rom 8:31
        What then shall we say to these [things]?
        If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?
Rom 8:32 Who yet spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all,
        how shall He not with Him also grant us all [things]?
Rom 8:33 Who shall accuse against God's elects? [It is] God that justifies.
Rom 8:34 Who [is] he who condemning? [It is] Christ that died, or rather that having risen,
        who is even at [the] right [hand] of God, who also makes intercession for us.
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
        [Shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 8:36 As it has been written,
        For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we were counted as sheep for the slaughter. [Psa 44:22]
Rom 8:37 But in all these [things] we are victorious, through Him that loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
        nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 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.

Rom 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me testimony in the Holy Spirit,
Rom 9:2 that my grief is great, and a continual pain [is] in my heart.
Rom 9:3 For I could wish that myself to be anathema{accursed} from Christ, for my brethren,
        the relatives of me according to the flesh:
Rom 9:4 who are Israelites; to whom [pertain] the adoption, and the glory, and the Covenants,
        and the giving of the Law, and the service, and the promises;
Rom 9:5 whose [are] the fathers, and from whom the Christ{Messiah} according to the flesh,
        who being over all GOD, blessed forever. Amen!

Rom 9:6 But it is not as that the Word of GOD has failed. For all those from Israel, these [are] not Israel?
Rom 9:7 Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children:
        but in Isaac The seed of Thee shall be called. [Gen 21:12]
Rom 9:8 That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of GOD;
        but the sons of the promise are counted for the seed.
Rom 9:9 For this [is] the word of promise, At this time I shall come, and there shall be to Sarah a son. [Gen 18:10]
Rom 9:10 And not only [this]; but Rebekah also having conceived by one, by our father Isaac,
Rom 9:11 (for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God,
        according to election might remain, not by works, but of Him that calling).
Rom 9:12 It was said to her, The greater shall serve the lesser. [Gen 25:23]
Rom 9:13 As it has been written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. [Mal 1:2-3]
Rom 9:14 What then shall we say? [Is there] unrighteousness with God?
        Let it not be.
Rom 9:15 For He says to Moses,
        I shall show mercy on whom I may show mercy,
        and I shall show compassion on whom I may show compassion. [Exo 33:19]
Rom 9:16 So then, [it is] not of him that is willing, nor of him that is running, but of God that is showing mercy.
Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh,
        Even for this same purpose have I raised Thee up, that I might show My power in Thee,
        and that My name might be declared throughout all the Earth. [Exo 9:16]
Rom 9:18 So then, He has mercy on whom He will, and whom He will He hardens.
Rom 9:19
        Thou shall say then to me, Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His will?
Rom 9:20 But rather, O man, who are Thou that replying against God?
        Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed [it], Why have Thou made me thus?
Rom 9:21 Or has not the potter power over the clay of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
Rom 9:22 But if God, willing to show [His] wrath, and to make His power known,
        endured with much endurance the vessels of wrath having been fitted to destruction:
Rom 9:23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy,
        which He had before prepared for glory,
Rom 9:24 even us whom He has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Greeks{gentiles}.
Rom 9:25 As He says also in Hoshea,
        I shall call them My people, who were not My people; and her Beloved, who was not beloved{variant}. [Hos 2:23]
Rom 9:26 And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people;
        there shall they be called, sons of the Living God. [Hos 1:10]
Rom 9:27 Isaiah also cries concerning Israel,
        Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved. [Isa 10:22]
Rom 9:28 For [He] finishing and cutting short the matter in righteousness:
        because a short matter shall the LORD make upon the Earth. [Isa 10:23]
Rom 9:29 And as Isaiah has said before,
        Except the LORD of Sabaoth had left us seed,
        we had been as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah. [Isa 1:9]
Rom 9:30
        What then shall we say? That the gentiles who followed not after righteousness,
        have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:
Rom 9:31 but Israel, pursuing [the] Law of righteousness, has not attained to the Law of righteousness.
Rom 9:32 Why? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works of Law.
        For they stumbled at that stone of stumbling.
Rom 9:33 As it has been written,
        Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence, [Isa 8:14]
        and whoever believing upon Him shall not be ashamed. [Isa 28:16]
Rom 10:1
        Brethren, the good pleasure of my heart and prayer to God for Israel is for Salvation.
Rom 10:2 For I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to full knowledge.
Rom 10:3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness,
        have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.
Rom 10:4 For Christ [is the] end of the Law for righteousness to every who believing.
Rom 10:5
        For Moses writes about the righteousness which is by the Law,
        That the man who doing these [things] shall live by them. [Lev 18:5]
Rom 10:6 But the righteousness which is by faith says this: Thou should not say in Thy heart,
        Who shall ascend into Heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down).
Rom 10:7 Or, Who shall go down into the Abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
Rom 10:8 But what says it? The saying is near Thee, in Thy mouth, and in Thy heart:
        that is, the saying of faith, which we preach:
Rom 10:9 that if Thou may confess with Thy mouth: Lord Jesus, and may believe in Thy heart,
        that God raised Him from the dead, Thou shall be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man it is believed to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to Salvation.
Rom 10:11
        For the Scripture says,
        whoever believing upon Him shall not be ashamed. [Isa 28:16]
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek{gentile}:
        for the same Lord over all, is rich to all that call upon Him,
Rom 10:13 for whoever may call on the name of the LORD shall be saved. [Joe 2:32]
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call into [Him] whom they have not believed?
        And how shall they believe into [Him] of whom they have not heard?
        And how shall they hear without preaching?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it has been written,
        How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of Peace,
        and preaching glad tidings of good [things]? [Isa 52:7]
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the Gospel. For Isaiah says,
        LORD, who has believed our report? [Isa 53:1]
Rom 10:17 So then, faith [comes] by report, and the report by [the] saying of God.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard?
        But rather, their sound went into all the Earth,
        and their sayings to the ends of the World. [Psa 19:4]
Rom 10:19
        But I say, Did not Israel know? First, Moses says,
        I shall provoke you to jealousy by [them that are] no nation, [and] by a foolish nation I shall anger you. [Deu 32:21]
Rom 10:20 But Isaiah is very bold, and says,
        I was found by them that not seeking for Me;
        I became manifest [to them that] not asking for Me. [Isa 65:1]
Rom 10:21 But to Israel He says,
        All day long I have stretched forth My hands to disobeying and contradicting people. [Isa 65:2]

Rom 11:1 I say then, Has God cast away His people?
        Let it not be. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Rom 11:2 God did not cast away His people which He foreknew. [Psa 94:14]
        Or have ye not known what the Scripture says of Elijah?
        How He makes intercession to God against Israel, saying, [1Ki 19:9]
Rom 11:3 LORD, they have killed Thy prophets, and dig down Thy Altars; and I was left alone, and they seek my soul. [1Ki 19:10]
Rom 11:4 But what says the answer of God to him?
        I have reserved to Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. [1Ki 19:18]
Rom 11:5
        Even so then at this present time also there has been a remnant according to the election of grace.
Rom 11:6 But if by grace, then [is it] no more by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
        But if by works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Rom 11:7 What then? Israel seeks,
        this it did not obtain, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
Rom 11:8 According as it has been written,
        God gave them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see,
        and ears that they should not hear, until today. [Isa 29:10 Deu 29:4]
Rom 11:9 And David says,
        Let their table be made for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them. [Psa 69:22]
Rom 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always. [Psa 69:23]
Rom 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they might fall?
        Let it not be: but [rather] through their trespass Salvation [is come] to the gentiles,
        to provoke them to jealousy.
Rom 11:12 But if the trespass of them [be] the riches of the World, and the loss of them the riches of the gentiles;
        how much more their fullness?
Rom 11:13 For I speak to you gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles,
        I glorify my ministry:
Rom 11:14 if somehow I may provoke to jealousy [them who are] my flesh, and may save some of them.
Rom 11:15 For if the rejection of them [be] the reconciliation of the World, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], except life from the dead?
Rom 11:16 But if the first-fruit [is] Holy, the lump is also: and if the root [is] Holy, also [are] the branches.
Rom 11:17 But if some of the branches be broken off, and Thou, being a wild olive-tree,
        were grafted among them, and with them partake of the root and fatness of the olive-tree;
Rom 11:18 boast not against the branches. But if Thou boasts, Thou bears not the root, but the root Thee.
Rom 11:19 Thou shall say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted.
Rom 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and Thou have stood by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
Rom 11:21 for if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest He also spare not Thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the kindness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity;
        but towards Thee, kindness, if Thou may continue in [His] kindness: otherwise Thou also shall be cut off.
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they may abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted: for God is again able to grafted in them.
Rom 11:24 For if Thou were cut out of the olive-tree which is wild by nature, and was grafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree;
        how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive-tree?
Rom 11:25
        For I wish not to be ignorant, brethren of this mystery, (lest ye should be wise in your own sight);
        that hardness in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles may come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it has been written,
        There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer,
        and shall turn away impiety from Jacob: [Isa 59:20]
Rom 11:27 For this [is] My Covenant to them; [Isa 59:21]
        when I may take away their sins. [Isa 27:9]
Rom 11:28 As concerning the Gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes:
        but as concerning the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God [are] unregretted.
Rom 11:30 For as ye in times past also disobeyed God,
        now you have obtained mercy through their unbelief;
Rom 11:31 so also these now disobeyed,
        that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Rom 11:32 For God has concluded them all in disobedience,
        that He might have mercy upon all.
Rom 11:33
        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!
Rom 11:34 For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who became His counsellor? [Isa 40:13]
Rom 11:35 Or who has first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed to Him? [Job 41:11]

Rom 11:36 For from Him, and through Him, and to Him [are] all [things]: to Him [be] the glory forever. Amen!

Rom 12:1 Therefore I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God,
        that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your reasonable service.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this Age{World}: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
        that ye may prove what [is] that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
Rom 12:3 For through the grace given to me,
        I say, to every one that being among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think;
        but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Rom 12:4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same function:
Rom 12:5 so we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and members each one of one another.
Rom 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us,
        whether prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;
Rom 12:7 or ministry, on ministering:
        or he who teaching, on doctrine:
Rom 12:8 or he who exhorting, on exhortation:
        he who giving, [let him do it] with simplicity;
        he who ruling, with diligence;
        he who showing mercy, with cheerfulness.
Rom 12:9 [Let] love be unfeigned.
        Abhorring that which is the evil! Cleaving to that which is the good!
Rom 12:10 [In] brotherly love to one another, tenderly affectionate; [in] the honour preferring one another;
Rom 12:11 in diligence (not slothful); fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Rom 12:12 rejoicing in hope; enduring in tribulation; continuing earnest in prayer;
Rom 12:13 distributing to the need of Saints; pursuing hospitality.
Rom 12:14 Bless them who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
Rom 12:15 Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Rom 12:16 [Be] of the same mind one towards another. Minding not high [things],
          but with the humbles going along. Become not wise in your own sight.
Rom 12:17 Rendering to no man evil for evil. Providing good [things] in the sight of all men.
Rom 12:18 If [it is] possible, as much as lies in you, being in peace with all men.
Rom 12:19 Beloved, avenging not yourselves, but [rather] give place to wrath: for it has been written,
        Vengeance [is] Mine, I shall recompense, says the LORD. [Deu 32:35]
Rom 12:20 Therefore if Thy enemy may hunger, feed him; if he may thirst, give him drink: [Pro 25:21]
        for in so doing Thou shall heap coals of fire on his head. [Pro 25:22]
Rom 12:21 Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome the evil with good.

Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the higher powers.
        For there is no power except from God: those powers that being ordained by God.
Rom 13:2 Whoever therefore resists the power, has resisted the ordinance of God:
        and they that resist shall receive to themselves judgment.
Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a fear to good works, but to the evil things.
        Will Thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good,
        and Thou shall have praise from it:
Rom 13:4 for he is the minister of God to Thee for good.
        But if Thou should do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword vainly:
        for he is the minister of God, an avenger to [execute] wrath upon him that doing evil.
Rom 13:5 Therefore [ye] must necessarily be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
Rom 13:6 For therefore ye pay tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Rom 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; the honour to whom honour.
Rom 13:8
        No, ye owe nothing, except to love one another: for he who loving another has fulfilled the Law.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not murder, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not bear false witness, Thou shall not covet; [Exo 20:3-17 Deu 5:7-21]
        and if [there is] any other Commandment, it is recapitulated in this saying, namely,
        Thou shall love Thy neighbour as thyself. [Lev 19:18]
Rom 13:10 Love works no ill to one's neighbour: therefore the fulfilling of the Law [is] love.
Rom 13:11 And this, knowing the time, that now [it is] our hour to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our Salvation nearer than when we believed.
Rom 13:12 The night has advanced, the day has drawn near: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Rom 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and envying.
Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the lusts of flesh.

Rom 14:1 Him that being weak [in] the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful disputations.
Rom 14:2 For one believes that he may eat all [things]: another, who being weak, eats herbs.
Rom 14:3 Let not him that eating, despise him that eating not; and let not him who eating not, judge him that eating: for God has received him.
Rom 14:4 Who are Thou that judge another's household servant?
        To his own Lord he stands or falls: but he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.
Rom 14:5
        One judges one day above another: another judges every day.
        Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Rom 14:6 He who regarding the day, regards [it] to the Lord:
         and he who regarding not the day, to the Lord he does not regard [it]:
        he who eating, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks;
        and he who eating not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks.
Rom 14:7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
Rom 14:8 For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord:
        whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Rom 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived,
        that He might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
Rom 14:10 But why do Thou judge Thy brother?
        Or why do Thou despise Thy brother?
        For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.
Rom 14:11
        For it has been written,
        [As] I live, says the LORD, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to GOD. [Isa 45:23]
Rom 14:12 So then, every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Rom 14:13
        Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but rather judge this,
        not to put a stumbling-block or an offence towards a brother.
Rom 14:14 I have known, and am persuaded by Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing by itself common:
        except to him that esteems anything to be common, to him [it is] common.
Rom 14:15 But if Thy brother is grieved with [Thy] food, now walk Thou no longer according to love.
        Destroy not him with Thy food, for whom Christ died.
Rom 14:16 Let not then be evil spoken of your good.
Rom 14:17 For the Kingdom of God is not food and drink,
        but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.
Rom 14:18 For he who in these [things] serving the Christ{Messiah},
        [is] acceptable to God, and approved by men.
Rom 14:19 So then we should pursue the things which make for peace,
        and things with which one may edify another.
Rom 14:20 For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God.
        All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who with offence eating.
Rom 14:21 [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine,
        nor [anything] by which Thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
Rom 14:22
        Have Thou faith? Have it to thyself before God.
        Blessed [is] he who condemning not himself in that thing which he approves!
Rom 14:23 And he who doubting has been condemned if he eats, because he [eats] not from faith:
        for whatever [is] not from faith is sin.

Rom 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the disables, and not to please ourselves.
Rom 15:2 Let every one of us please [his] neighbour for [his] good to edification.
Rom 15:3 For even the Christ{Messiah} pleased not Himself; but as it has been written,
        the reproaches of them that reproached Thee fell on Me. [Psa 69:9]
Rom 15:4 For whatever things were written formerly, were written for our doctrine,
        that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
Rom 15:5 But may the God of patience and consolation give to you to have the same mind towards one another according to Christ Jesus:
Rom 15:6 that ye may unanimously [and] one mouth may glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom 15:7 Therefore receive ye one another, as the Christ{Messiah} also received us to the glory of God.
Rom 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God,
        to confirm the promises [made] to the fathers:
Rom 15:9 and that the gentiles might glorify God for [His] mercy; as it has been written,
        Therefore I shall confess to Thee among the gentiles, and sing-psalms to Thy name. [2Sa 22:50 Psa 18:49]
Rom 15:10 And again He says, Be rejoiced, ye gentiles, with His people. [Deu 32:43]
Rom 15:11 And again, Praise the LORD, all ye nations; and laud Him, all [ye] peopless. [Psa 117:1]
Rom 15:12 And again Isaiah says,
        There shall be a Root of Jesse,
        and He rising up to reign over the gentiles;
        in Him shall the gentiles hope. [Isa 11:10]
Rom 15:13 But the God of hope may fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
        that ye may abound in hope, by the power of [the] Holy Spirit.

Rom 15:14 And I myself also am persuaded concerning you, my brethren,
        that ye also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Rom 15:15 But brethren, I wrote more boldly to you in some part, as putting you in mind,
        because of the grace that was given to me by God.
Rom 15:16 For me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the gentiles, ministering the Gospel of God,
        that the offering up of the gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by [the] Holy Spirit.
Rom 15:17 I have therefore boasting in Christ Jesus, in those things which pertain to God.
Rom 15:18 For I shall not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not wrought by me,
        to make the gentiles obedient, by word and work,
Rom 15:19 in [the] power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God;
        so that from Jerusalem, and around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ.
Rom 15:20 But so I aiming to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I might build upon another's foundation:
Rom 15:21 but as it has been written, They shall see to whom He was not spoken of: and they that have not heard shall understand. [Isa 52:15]

Rom 15:22 Therefore also I have been much hindered to come to you;
Rom 15:23 but now having no more place in these parts,
        and having a great desire for many years to come to you;
Rom 15:24 whenever I may go to Spain, I shall come to you:
        for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way there by you,
        if first I shall be somewhat filled with your [company].
Rom 15:25 But now I go to Jerusalem: serving the Saints.
Rom 15:26 For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia,
        to make a certain communion{sharing} for the poor of the Saints who are at Jerusalem.
Rom 15:27 For they were pleased; and their debtors they are.
        For if the gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual [things],
        their duty is also to minister to them in the fleshly [things].
Rom 15:28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by you to Spain.
Rom 15:29 And I have known that I coming to you,
        I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ.
Rom 15:30 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the Lord Jesus Christ,
        and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers for me to God;
Rom 15:31 that I may be delivered from them in Judea who disobeying;
        and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the Saints;
Rom 15:32 that I should come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.
Rom 15:33 But the God of Peace [be] with you all. Amen!

Rom 16:1 I commend to you Phoebe our sister, being a deaconess of the Church which is at Cenchrea:
Rom 16:2 that ye may receive her in the Lord, as worthy Saints, and that ye may assist her in whatever matter she may need of you:
        for she became a patroness of many, and of myself also.
Rom 16:3
          Salute Priscilla and Aquila my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus:
Rom 16:4 who have for my soul laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give thanks,
        but also all the Churches of the gentiles.
Rom 16:5 And the Church that is in their house.
          Salute my beloved Epenetus, who is [the] first-fruit of Achaia to Christ.
Rom 16:6  Salute Mary, who laboured much on us.
Rom 16:7  Salute Andronicus and Junia the relatives of me, and my fellow-prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who also have been before me in Christ.
Rom 16:8  Salute Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
Rom 16:9  Salute Urbanus, our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
Rom 16:10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ.
          Salute them who are of the [household] of Aristobulus.
Rom 16:11 Salute Herodion the relatives of me.
          Salute them that are of the [household] of Narcissus, who being in the Lord.
Rom 16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord.
          Salute the beloved Persis, who laboured much in the Lord.
Rom 16:13 Salute Rufus the elect in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
Rom 16:14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.
Rom 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the Saints who are with them.
Rom 16:16 Salute one another with a Holy kiss. The Churches of Christ salute you.
Rom 16:17
        Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and shun them.
Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by smooth speech and praising deceive the hearts of the harmless.
Rom 16:19 For your obedience is come abroad to all. I rejoice therefore on your behalf:
         but yet I will have you wise to that which be good, and innocent concerning evil.
Rom 16:20 But the God of Peace shall bruise Satan under your feet quickly.
        The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen!
Rom 16:21
        Timothy my fellow-worker and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater the relatives of me, salute you.
Rom 16:22 I, Tertius, who wrote [this] letter, salute you in the Lord.
Rom 16:23 Gaius my host, and of the whole Church, salutes you.
        Erastus the steward of the city salutes you, and Quartus a brother.
Rom 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen!
Rom 16:25
        Now to Him that is able to establish you according to my Gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
        according to the revelation of the mystery, which since Everlasting Times has been kept secret,
Rom 16:26 but now is made manifest, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, by a command of the everlasting God,
        for the obedience of faith made to all nations known:
Rom 16:27 to the only wise God, to whom glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen!
1Co 1:1 [Scroll 36 First Epistle to the Corinthians].
        Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
1Co 1:2 to the Church of God which being in Corinth, to them who having been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called Saints,
        with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.
1Co 1:3 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 1:4
        I give thanks [to] my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
1Co 1:5 that in everything ye were enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;
1Co 1:6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
1Co 1:7 so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation{coming} of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1Co 1:8 who shall also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 1:9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to the communion of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

1Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
        that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you;
        but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
1Co 1:11 For it was declared to me concerning you, my brethren,
        by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that strifes are among you.
1Co 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you says, I indeed am of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I of Christ.
1Co 1:13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1Co 1:14 I give thanks [to] God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;
1Co 1:15 lest any should say that I baptized in my own name.
1Co 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I have not known whether any other I baptized.
1Co 1:17 For Christ has not sent me to baptize,
        but to preach the Gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made in void.

1Co 1:18 For the account of the cross is to them that are perishing, foolishness;
        but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.
1Co 1:19 For it has been written,
        I shall destroy the wisdom of the wise,
        and shall set away the intellect of the intellectuals. [Isa 29:14]
1Co 1:20 Where [is] the wise?
         Where [is] the scribe?
         Where [is] the disputer of this Age{World}?
        Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this World?
1Co 1:21 For since in the wisdom of GOD the World by the wisdom knew not God,
        it pleased God by the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believing.
1Co 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks{gentiles} seek wisdom:
1Co 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks{gentiles} foolishness;
1Co 1:24 but to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks{gentiles},
        Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of GOD;
1Co 1:25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men;
        and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many nobles [are called]:
1Co 1:27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the World that might confound the wise;
        and God has chosen the weak things of the World that might confound the things which are mighty;
1Co 1:28 and base things of the World, and things which are despised, has God chosen,
        and things which are not, that He may bring to naught things that are:
1Co 1:29 that no flesh may boast in His presence.
1Co 1:30 But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God,
        both righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 1:31 that, according as it has been written,
        He who boasts, let him boast in the LORD. [Jer 9:24]

1Co 2:1 And I, brethren, when I having come to you, I came not with excellence of speech, or of wisdom,
        preaching to you the testimony of God.
1Co 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
1Co 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
1Co 2:4 And my word and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of human's wisdom,
        but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power:
1Co 2:5 that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1Co 2:6 But we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this Age{World},
        nor of the rulers of this Age{World}, that coming to naught:
1Co 2:7 but we speak the wisdom of GOD in a mystery,
        that having been hidden which God predetermined before the Ages{Worlds} to our glory:
1Co 2:8 which none of the rulers of this Age{World} has known:
        if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of the glory.
1Co 2:9 But as it has been written,
        Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
        neither came it up into the heart of man,
        the things which GOD has prepared for them that loving Him. [Isa 64:4]
1Co 2:10 But God has revealed [them] to us by His Spirit;
        for the Spirit searches all [things], even the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man has known the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him?
        So also the things of God have known no one, except the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we received, not the spirit of the World,
        but the Spirit which is from God;
        that we may know the things that are granted to us by God.
1Co 2:13 Which [things] also we speak, not in the words which human's wisdom teaches,
        but which [the] Holy Spirit teaches; comparing spiritual [things] with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of [the] Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him:
        neither can he to know [them], because they are spiritually examined.
1Co 2:15 But he who is spiritual examines all [things], yet he himself is examined by no one.
1Co 2:16 For who has known the mind of the LORD, who shall instruct Him?
        But we have the mind of [the] Christ{Messiah}.

1Co 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to infants in Christ.
1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with [solid] food:
        for ye were not yet able, but neither now are ye yet able.
1Co 3:3 For ye are yet fleshly: for whereas [there is] among you envying,
        and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and walk according to man?
1Co 3:4 For when one said, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not fleshly?
1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each?
1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered: but God was giving growth.
1Co 3:7 So then, neither is he who planting anything, neither he who watering: but God that giving growth.
1Co 3:8 Now he who planting and he who watering are one;
        and every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.
1Co 3:9 For we are fellow-workers with God:
        ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.
1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master-builder,
        I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon it.
        But let every man take heed how he builds upon it.
1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ{Messiah}.
1Co 3:12 But if anyone builds upon this foundation,
        gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, stubble;
1Co 3:13 every one's work shall become manifest: for the day shall declare it,
        because it is revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every one's work, of what sort it is.
1Co 3:14 If anyone's work stays which he has built upon it, he shall receive a reward.
1Co 3:15 If anyone's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

1Co 3:16 Have ye not known that ye are the Sanctuary of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1Co 3:17 If anyone destroy the Sanctuary of God, him shall God destroy: for the Sanctuary of God is Holy, which ye are.
1Co 3:18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this Age{World},
        let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this World is foolishness with God. For it has been written,
        He takes the wise in their own craftiness. [Job 5:13]
1Co 3:20 And again, The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise [men], that they are vain. [Psa 94:11]
1Co 3:21 Therefore let no man boast in men: for all [things] are yours:
1Co 3:22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the World,
        or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
1Co 3:23 and ye [are] Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.

1Co 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1Co 4:2 But moreover, it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.
1Co 4:3 But with me it is a least thing that I should be examined by you,
        or by human's day{judgment}: but I examine not myself.
1Co 4:4 For I have considered nothing against myself;
        but by this I have not been justified: but He who examining me is [the] Lord.
1Co 4:5
        Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord should come,
        who shall both bring to light the hidden things of darkness,
        and shall make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then the praise shall come to each from God.
1Co 4:6 And these [things], brethren, I transformed to myself, and [to] Apollos,
        for your sakes; that ye may learn in us not to think [of men] above that which has been written,
        that no one of you on account of one, may be puffed up against another.
1Co 4:7 For who makes Thee to differ [from another]? And what have Thou that Thou not received?
        But if Thou received, why do Thou boast, as if Thou having not received?
1Co 4:8 Now are ye having satisfied, now ye were rich, ye have reigned as kings without us:
        and I would yet ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
1Co 4:9 For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death:
        for we are made a spectacle to the World, and to Angels, and to men.
1Co 4:10 We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but ye [are] wise in Christ;
        we [are] weak, but ye [are] strong; ye [are] honourable, but we [are] despised.
1Co 4:11 Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
1Co 4:12 and labour, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we bear it;
1Co 4:13 being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the World, the offscouring of all [things] to this day.
1Co 4:14 I write not these [things] to shame you, but as my beloved children I admonish [you].
1Co 4:15 For though ye should have myriads instructors in Christ,
        but [have ye] not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel.
1Co 4:16 Therefore I beseech you, become ye followers of me.
1Co 4:17 For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved child, and faithful in the Lord,
        who shall remind you of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every Church.
1Co 4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
1Co 4:19 But I shall come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and shall know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.
1Co 4:20 For the Kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.
1Co 4:21 What will ye? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the spirit of meekness?

1Co 5:1 It is reported commonly [that there is] fornication among you,
        and such fornication as is not named among the gentiles, that one to have his father's wife.
1Co 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who having done this work might be taken away from among you.
1Co 5:3 For I indeed, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already as though I were present, [concerning] him that having so wrought this deed,
1Co 5:4 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are assembled, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Co 5:5 to deliver such one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord Jesus.
1Co 5:6
        Your boasting [is] not good.
        Have ye not known that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
1Co 5:7 Cleanse out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are Unleavened.
        For even our Passover was sacrificed for us: Christ.
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with old leaven,
        neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
        but with the Unleavened [Bread] of sincerity and truth.
1Co 5:9 I wrote to you in the letter, not to associate with fornicators:
1Co 5:10 and surely not with fornicators of this World,
        or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters:
        for then ye must necessarily go out of the World.
1Co 5:11 But now I wrote to you not to associate,
        if anyone that being named a brother [and is] either a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater,
        or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such [person] even not to eat.
1Co 5:12 For what have I to judge them also that are outsiders?
        Do ye not judge them that are insiders?
1Co 5:13 But them that are outsiders God judges.
        And ye shall remove the evil from among yourselves.
1Co 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another,
        go to Law before the unjust, and not before the Saints?
1Co 6:2 Have ye not known that the Saints shall judge the World?
        And if the World is judged by you,
        are ye unworthy of the least judgments?
1Co 6:3 Have ye not known that we shall judge Angels? Why not then of ordinary life?
1Co 6:4 Then if ye may have judgments of ordinary life,
        [why] have ye set up those that are despised in the Church?
1Co 6:5 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 [someone and] his brother?
1Co 6:6 But a brother is judged with a brother, and that before unbelievers.
1Co 6:7 Now indeed there is utterly a loss among you,
        because ye have lawsuits one with another.
        Why are ye not rather wronged? Why are ye not rather defrauded?
1Co 6:8 But ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.
1Co 6:9 Or have ye not known that the unjust shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
        Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminates, nor homosexuals,
1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified,
        but ye were justified in the name of the LORD Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1Co 6:12 All things are lawful to me, but all [things] are not expedient.
         All things are lawful for me, but I shall not be under authority by any.
1Co 6:13 Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods: but God shall destroy both this and these.
        Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
1Co 6:14 But God both raised up the Lord, and shall also raise up us by His own power.
1Co 6:15 Have ye not known that your bodies are the members of Christ?
        Having taken the members of Christ, make I [them] the members of a whore?
        Let it not be.
1Co 6:16 Or have ye not known that he who being joined to a whore is one body?
        For He says: they two shall be one flesh. [Gen 2:24]
1Co 6:17 But he who being joined to the Lord is One spirit.
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man may do, is outside the body;
        but he who committing fornication, sins against his own body.
1Co 6:19 Or have ye not known that your body is the Sanctuary of the Holy Spirit [which is] in you,
        which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?
1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are of the God.

1Co 7:1 Now concerning what ye wrote to me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman;
1Co 7:2 but because of the fornications, let every man have his own wife, and let every [woman] have her own husband.
1Co 7:3 Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband.
1Co 7:4 The wife has no authority of her own body, but the husband:
        and likewise also the husband has no authority of his own body, but the wife.
1Co 7:5 Defraud ye not one another, except with consent for a time, that ye may leisure for fasting and prayer;
        and should come together again, that Satan may not tempt you for your excess.
1Co 7:6 But I speak this by permission, [and] not by a command.
1Co 7:7 For I wish that all men to be as even myself. But every man has his proper gift from God,
        one indeed thus, and one thus.
1Co 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain even as I.
1Co 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
1Co 7:10 And to the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord,
        Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:
1Co 7:11 but if she departed, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband:
        and let not the husband put away [his] wife;
1Co 7:12 but to the rest I speak, not the Lord, if any brother has a faithless wife,
        and she consents to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
1Co 7:13 And the woman who has a faithless husband,
        and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1Co 7:14 For the faithless husband is sanctified by the wife,
        and the faithless wife is sanctified by the husband:
        else were your children unclean; but now are they Holy.
1Co 7:15 But if the faithless departs, let him depart.
        The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such [cases]; but in peace God has called us.
1Co 7:16 For how have known Thou, wife, if Thou shall save the husband?
          Or how have known Thou, man, if Thou shall save the wife?
1Co 7:17 Except as God has distributed to every [man],
        as the Lord has called every one,
        so let him walk. And so I ordain in all Churches.

1Co 7:18 Was any called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised.
         Was any called in uncircumcision? Let him not become circumcised.
1Co 7:19 The circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing,
        but keeping of the Commandments of God.
1Co 7:20 Let every man continue in the calling in which he was called.
1Co 7:21 Are Thou called [being] a servant? Care Thee not for it; but if Thou may be made free, use [it] rather.
1Co 7:22 For he who being called in the Lord, [being] a servant, is the Lord's free-man:
        likewise also he who being called, [being] free, is servant of Christ.
1Co 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; become ye not the servants of men.
1Co 7:24 Brethren, each in the [state] in which he was called, in this let him abide with God.

1Co 7:25 Now concerning the virgins, I have no command of the LORD:
        yet I give my judgment as one that has obtained mercy by [the] Lord to be faithful.
1Co 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.
1Co 7:27 Are Thou bound to a wife? Seek not to be loosed.
        Are Thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife.
1Co 7:28 But if Thou may marry, Thou have not sinned: and if a virgin may marry, she has not sinned.
        But such shall have trouble in the flesh; but I spare you.
1Co 7:29 But this I say, brethren, that the time [is] short.
        It remains, that both they who have wives may be as though they having none;
1Co 7:30 and they who weeping, as though they weeping not;
        and they who rejoicing, as though they rejoicing not;
        and they who buying, as though they possessing not;
1Co 7:31 and they that use this World, as not abusing [it]. For the fashion of this World passes away;
1Co 7:32 but I wish have you without anxious care. He who be unmarried,
        is anxious for the things that belong to the Lord, how he shall please the Lord:
1Co 7:33 but he who being married, is anxious for the things that are of the World, how he shall please [his] wife.
1Co 7:34 It has been a difference between the wife and the virgin.
        The unmarried woman is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be Holy,
        both in body and in spirit: but she who is married,
        is anxious for the things of the World, how she shall please [her] husband.
1Co 7:35 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.
1Co 7:36 But if anyone supposes that he behaves himself unseemly towards his virgin,
        if she should pass the bloom [of her age], and so it ought to be, let him do what he will, he sins not: let them marry.
1Co 7:37 But he who has stood steadfast in his heart, having no necessity,
        but has power concerning his own will, and this has decreed in his heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
1Co 7:38 So then he who giving [her] in marriage does well; but he who giving [her] not in marriage does better.
1Co 7:39 The wife has been bound by the Law as long as her husband lives;
        but if the husband may have fallen asleep{dead}, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
1Co 7:40 But she is blessed if she may so remain, after my judgment; and I think also that I to have the Spirit of God.

1Co 8:1 Now as concerning things offered to idols,
        we have known that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
1Co 8:2 But if anyone thinks to know anything, he has known nothing yet as he ought to know.
1Co 8:3 But if anyone loves God, the same is known by Him.
1Co 8:4 Therefore as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols,
        we have known that an idol [is] nothing in the World, and that [there is] no other God except One.
1Co 8:5 For if indeed there are that being called gods, whether in Heaven or upon Earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many).
1Co 8:6 Yet to us [there is] One GOD, the Father, from whom [are] all [things], and we into Him;
        and One Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all [things], and we through Him.
1Co 8:7 But the knowledge [is] not in all:
        for some with conscience of the idol until now eat [it] as a thing offered to an idol;
        and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
1Co 8:8 But food commends us not to God:
        for neither if we eat, are we the better;
        neither if we eat not, are we the worse.
1Co 8:9 But take heed lest this authority{liberty} of yours,
        should become a stumbling-block to them that are weak.
1Co 8:10 For if anyone may see Thee, who have knowledge,
        sit eating in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience who being weak,
        be edified to eat those things which are offered to idols;
1Co 8:11 and through Thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
1Co 8:12 But when ye thus sin against the brethren,
        and beating their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
1Co 8:13 Therefore, if food offends my brother,
        I should eat no flesh while the Age{World} stands, lest I may make my brother offend.

1Co 9:1 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free?
        Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are ye not my work in the Lord?
1Co 9:2 If I am not an apostle to others, but doubtless I am to you:
        for ye are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
1Co 9:3 My defence to them that examine me is this,
1Co 9:4 have we not power to eat and to drink;
1Co 9:5 have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles,
        and [as] the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas{Peter}?
1Co 9:6 Or I only and Barnabas, have we not power to forbear working?
1Co 9:7 Who goes a warfare at any time at his own charges?
        Who plants a vineyard, and eats not of its fruit?
        Or who shepherds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock?
1Co 9:8 Do I say these [things] as a man? Or also says not the Law the same?
1Co 9:9 For it has been written in the Law of Moses,
        Thou shall not muzzle an ox that is threshing. [Deu 25:4]
        [Does] God not care for the oxen?
1Co 9:10 Or says He surely because of us? For it was written because us:
        that he who ploughing to plough in hope;
        and that he who threshing in hope [ought] to partaker of his hope.
1Co 9:11 If we have sown to you the spiritual [things],
        [is it] a great thing if we shall reap your fleshly [things]?
1Co 9:12 If others are partakers of [this] power over you, [are] not we rather?
        But we have not used this power; but endure all [things],
        lest we should hinder the Gospel of Christ.
1Co 9:13
        Have ye not known that they who working about Holy things eat [from the things] of the Temple,
        and they who wait at the Altar are partakers with the Altar?
1Co 9:14 So also has the Lord ordained that they who preach the Gospel should live by the Gospel.
1Co 9:15 But I have used none of these [things]: neither I wrote these [things], that it should be so done to me:
        for [it were] better for me to die, than that anyone should make my glorying void.
1Co 9:16
        For though I preach the Gospel, no boasting is to me:
        for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I preach not the Gospel!
1Co 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward:
        but if against my will, a stewardship I have been entrusted.
1Co 9:18 What is my reward then? [Truly] that, when I preach the Gospel,
        I may make the Gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my power in the Gospel.
1Co 9:19 For being free from all, yet I have made myself servant to all, that I might gain the more.
1Co 9:20 And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews;
        to them that are under the Law, as under the Law, that I might gain them that are under the Law;
1Co 9:21 to them [that are] without Law, as without Law,
        (being not without Law to God, but lawful to Christ),
        that I might gain them that are without Law;
1Co 9:22 to the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak:
        I have become all [things] to all, that I might surely save some.
1Co 9:23 And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I may become partaker of it with [you].
1Co 9:24 Have ye not known that they who running in a stadium, all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1Co 9:25 But each that striving contain himself in all [things].
        Then they truly may receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
1Co 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so I fight, as not beating air:
1Co 9:27 but I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection:
        lest when I having preached to others, I myself may be reprobated.

1Co 10:1 Now I will not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
        that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 and all were baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Co 10:3 and all ate the same spiritual food;
1Co 10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink:
        (for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that <Rock> was the <Christ>{Messiah}).
1Co 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
1Co 10:6 And these [things] were our examples,
        that we not to be lust evil [things], as they also lusted;
1Co 10:7 neither become ye idolaters, as [were] some of them: as it has been written,
        The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play; [Exo 32:6]
1Co 10:8 neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day twenty three thousand;
1Co 10:9 neither let us tempt the Christ{Messiah}, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;
1Co 10:10 neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
1Co 10:11 Now all these [things] happened to them for examples:
        and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the Ages{Worlds} are come.
1Co 10:12 Therefore let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he may fall.
1Co 10:13
        No temptation except of human has taken you: but God [is] faithful,
        who shall not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able;
        but with the temptation also shall make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].
1Co 10:14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
1Co 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
1Co 10:16 The cup of the 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?
1Co 10:17 For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
1Co 10:18 Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they who eating of the sacrifices, partakers of the Altar?
1Co 10:19 What then do I say? That the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything?
1Co 10:20 But [I say], that the things which the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God.
          But I will not that ye to become partners of demons. [Deu 32:17 Psa 106:37]
1Co 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons.
        Ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of demons.
1Co 10:22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all [things] are not expedient.
        All things are lawful for me, but all [things] not edify.
1Co 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's.
1Co 10:25 Whatever being sold in the provision market, [that] eat, not inquiring for [the] sake of conscience:
1Co 10:26 for the Earth [is] the LORD's, and its fullness. [Psa 24:1]
1Co 10:27 But if any of those unbelievers calls you, and ye wish to go;
        whatever being set before you, eat, not inquiring for [the] sake of conscience.
1Co 10:28 But if anyone may say to you, This is offered in sacrifice to idols,
        eat not for his sake that showed it, and for the conscience' sake:
          for the Earth [is] the LORD's, and its fullness: [Psa 24:1]
1Co 10:29 but conscience, I say, not Thy own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another [man's] conscience?
1Co 10:30 But if I by grace am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
1Co 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
1Co 10:32 Become without offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Greeks{gentiles}, nor to the Church of God:
1Co 10:33 as I also please all in all [things], not seeking profit [for] myself, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved.
1Co 11:1 Become ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.

1Co 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all [things],
        and keep the traditions, as I delivered [them] to you.
1Co 11:3 But I will you to know, that the head of every man is Christ;
        and the head of a woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.
1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having on [his] head covered, dishonours his head.
1Co 11:5 But every woman that praying or prophesying with [her] head uncovered,
        dishonours her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaved;
1Co 11:6 for if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn:
        but if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered;
1Co 11:7 for a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head,
        being the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man;
1Co 11:8 for the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man;
1Co 11:9 neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man;
1Co 11:10 therefore ought the woman to have authority on [her] head, because of the Angels;
1Co 11:11 nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord;
1Co 11:12 for as the woman [is] from the man, so also [is] the man by the woman; but all [things] from God;
1Co 11:13 judge in yourselves: Is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
1Co 11:14 Or does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man has long hair, it is shameful to him?
1Co 11:15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her instead of a covering.
1Co 11:16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the Churches of God.

1Co 11:17 Now this I commanding, I praise [you] not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
1Co 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the Church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe [it].
1Co 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they who be approved may become manifest among you.
1Co 11:20 When therefore ye come together in the same [place], [this] is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.
1Co 11:21 For in eating every one takes before [another] his own supper:
        and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
1Co 11:22 For have ye not houses to eat and to drink in?
        Or despise ye the Church of God, and shame them that have not?
        What should I say to you? Should I praise you in this? I praise [you] not.
1Co 11:23
        For I have received from the Lord, that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, the [same] night in which He was betrayed, took bread:
1Co 11:24 and He having given thanks, He broke [it], and said,
        Take, eat: this is My body, which being broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. [Luk 22:19]
1Co 11:25 Likewise also He [took] the cup, after having supped, saying,
        This cup is the New Covenant in My blood: this do ye, as often as ye may drink [it], in remembrance of Me.
1Co 11:26
        For as often as ye may eat this bread, and may drink this cup,
        ye preach the Lord's death until He should come.
1Co 11:27 Therefore, whoever may eat this bread or may drink [this] cup of the Lord unworthily,
        shall be liable of the body and blood of the Lord.
1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and let him drink of [that] cup.
1Co 11:29 For he who eating and drinking unworthily,
        eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
1Co 11:30 Therefore many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many are slept.
1Co 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Co 11:32 But we being judged, we are chastened by the Lord,
        that we should not with the World be condemned.
1Co 11:33 Therefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
1Co 11:34 But if anyone hungers, let him eat in [his] house; that ye should come not together to condemnation.
        And the rest shall I set in order when I should come.

1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I wish not you to be ignorant.
1Co 12:2 Ye known that ye were gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as ye being led.
1Co 12:3 Therefore I give you to understand, that no one speaking by [the] Spirit of God,
        calls Jesus anathema{accursed}: and [that] no one can say LORD Jesus, except by [the] Holy Spirit.
1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of workings, but it is the same God who works all in all.
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man for profit.
1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another, the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:9 to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, the gifts of healings by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:10 to another, the workings of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits;
        to another, [diverse] kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues:
1Co 12:11 but all these works that one and the same Spirit, dividing to every [man] severally as He will.

1Co 12:12 For even as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body,
        being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.
1Co 12:13 For by One Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
        whether Jews or Greeks{gentiles}, whether bondmen or free;
        and have been all made to drink into One Spirit.
1Co 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
1Co 12:15 If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand,
        I am not of the body; is it not from of the body?
1Co 12:16 And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye,
        I am not of the body; is it not from of the body?
1Co 12:17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing?
        If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?
1Co 12:18 But now God placed the members every one of them in the body, as He would.
1Co 12:19 But if they were all one member, where [were] the body?
1Co 12:20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.
1Co 12:21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of Thee:
        nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
1Co 12:22 But much more those members of the body,
        seeming to be weaker are necessary:
1Co 12:23 and those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable,
        upon these we bestow more abundant honour;
        and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.
1Co 12:24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God has united the body together,
        having given more abundant honour to that [part] which being lacked:
1Co 12:25 that there may be no schism in the body;
        but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
1Co 12:26 And thus if one member suffers all the members suffer with it;
        or, if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it.
1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1Co 12:28
        And God placed some in the Church, first apostles,
        secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles,
        then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1Co 12:29 [Are] all apostles? [Are] all prophets? [Are] all teachers? [Are] all [workers of] miracles?
1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healings? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
1Co 12:31 But desire earnestly the better gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way.
1Co 13:1
        Though I speak with the tongues of men and of Angels, and have not love, I have become [as] sounding bronze, or a tinkling cymbal.
1Co 13:2 And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and may know all mysteries, and all knowledge;
         and though I have all the faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
1Co 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body that [if] I shall be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.
1Co 13:4 {Love song}.
         Love is patient, [and] is kind; love envies not.
         Love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,
1Co 13:5 does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
1Co 13:6 rejoices not in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth;
1Co 13:7 bears all [things], believes all [things], hopes all [things], endures all [things].
1Co 13:8
         Love never fails:
         but whether [there are] prophecies, they shall fail;
             whether [there are] tongues, they shall cease;
             whether [there is] knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect may come,
        then that which is in part shall be done away.
1Co 13:11 When I was an infant, I spoke as an infant,
        I understood as an infant, I thought as an infant:
        but when I have become a man,
        I have put away things of the infant.
1Co 13:12 For now we see through a mirror in an enigma;
        but then face to face:
        now I know in part;
        but then shall I know even as also I was known.
1Co 13:13 And now stays faith, hope, love,
        these three; but the greatest of these [is] love.

1Co 14:1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.
1Co 14:2 For he who speaking in a tongue, speaks not to men, but to God:
        for no one understands; yet in spirit he speaks mysteries.
1Co 14:3 But he who prophesying, speaks to men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
1Co 14:4 He who speaking in a tongue edifies himself; but he who prophesying edifies the Church.
1Co 14:5 But I wish that ye all spoke in tongues, but rather that ye prophesied:
        for greater [is] he who prophesying than he who speaking in tongues,
        except he interprets, that the Church may receive edifying.
1Co 14:6 Now, brethren, if I should come to you speaking in tongues,
        what shall I profit you, except I should speak to you either by revelation,
        or by knowledge, or by prophecy, or by doctrine?
1Co 14:7 Yet things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp,
        except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what being piped or being harped?
1Co 14:8 For if the trumpet should give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war? [Num 10:9]
1Co 14:9 So also ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood,
        how shall it be known what being spoken? For ye shall be speaking into the air.
1Co 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the World,
        and none of them [is] without signification.
1Co 14:11 Therefore, if I may know not the power of the voice,
        I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he who speaking [shall be] a barbarian to me.
1Co 14:12 So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the Church.
1Co 14:13 Therefore, let him that speaking in a tongue, pray that he may interpret.
1Co 14:14 For if I may pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
1Co 14:15 What then is it? I shall pray with the spirit, and also I shall pray with the mind:
        I shall sing-psalms with the spirit, and also I shall sing-psalms with the mind.
1Co 14:16 Else, when Thou may bless with the spirit, how shall he who filling the place of the unlearned say,
        Amen at Thy thanksgiving, since he has not known what Thou say?
1Co 14:17 For Thou truly give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
1Co 14:18 I give thanks [to] my God, I speak in tongues more than you all:
1Co 14:19 but in the Church, I wish rather speak five words with my mind,
        that I may teach others also, than myriads of words in a tongue.
1Co 14:20
        Brethren, become not children in understanding:
        but in malice be ye infants, but in understanding be mature.
1Co 14:21 In the Law it has been written,
        With [men of] other tongues and other lips shall I speak to this people; [Isa 28:11]
        and thus they shall not even be willing to hear Me, says the LORD. [Isa 28:12]
1Co 14:22
        Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those believing, but to those unbelievers:
        but prophecy [is] not to those unbelievers, but to those believing.
1Co 14:23 If therefore the whole Church come together in the same [place], and all should speak in tongues,
        and there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, shall they not say that ye are insane?
1Co 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there may come in, an unbeliever,
        or an unlearned, he is convinced by all, he is examined by all:
1Co 14:25 and thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest;
        and so falling down on [his] face, he shall worship God, and reporting that God indeed is among you.
1Co 14:26 What then is it, brethren? When ye should come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue,
        has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all [things] be done to edification.
1Co 14:27 Whether anyone speaks in a tongue,
        [let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one interpret.
1Co 14:28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in the Church;
        and let him speak to himself, and to God.
1Co 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge.
1Co 14:30 But if [anything] is revealed to another that sitting by, let the first hold his peace.
1Co 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
1Co 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1Co 14:33 For God is not [the author] of unrest, but of peace, as in all Churches of the Saints.
1Co 14:34 Let your women be silent in the Churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak:
        but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also says the Law.
1Co 14:35 But if they will to learn anything, let them ask their husbands in their house; for it is shameful for women to speak in the Church.
1Co 14:36 Or came the Word of GOD out from you? Or came it only to you?
1Co 14:37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual,
        let him acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the Commandments of the LORD.
1Co 14:38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
1Co 14:39 Therefore, brethren, desire to prophesy, and forbid not to speak in tongues.
1Co 14:40 Let all [things] be done decently, and in order.

1Co 15:1 And brethren, I declare to you the Gospel: the Gospel which I preached to you, which also ye received, in which also ye have stood;
1Co 15:2 by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which [is the] Gospel I preached to you, except ye vainly believed.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered to you first of all, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures;
1Co 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He has been raised the third day, according to the Scriptures:
1Co 15:5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.
1Co 15:6 After that He was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep.
1Co 15:7 After that He was seen by James; then by all the apostles.
1Co 15:8 And last of all, as an untimely birth, He appeared also to me.
1Co 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and His grace which [was given] upon me, was not in vain;
        but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1Co 15:11 Therefore whether [it was] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
1Co 15:12
        But if Christ is preached that has been raised from the dead,
        how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1Co 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then has Christ not been raised;
1Co 15:14 But if Christ has not been raised, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
1Co 15:15 And indeed we are found false witnesses of God;
        because we have testified concerning God that He raised up Christ:
        whom He raised not, indeed if the dead are not raised.
1Co 15:16 For if the dead are not raised, then has Christ not been raised:
1Co 15:17 But if Christ not has been raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1Co 15:18 Then they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
1Co 15:19 If we are in this life only have hope in Christ, we are of all men most pitiful.
1Co 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, [and] became the first-fruit of them that slept.
1Co 15:21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be vivified.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruit; afterward they that are Christ's at His coming.
1Co 15:24 Then [comes] the end, when He should have delivered up the Kingdom to the God and Father;
          when He should have put down all rule, and all authority, and power.
1Co 15:25 For He must reign, until He has put all enemies under His feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy is [to be] destroyed [is] the Death.
1Co 15:27 For all [things] He subjected under His feet.
        But when He may say that all [things] have been subjected,
        [it is] manifest that He is excepted who subjecting all [things] under Him. [Psa 8:6]
1Co 15:28 But when all [things] should be subdued to Him,
        then also the Son Himself shall be subjected to Him having made all [things] subject to Him, that God may be all in all.
1Co 15:29 Else what shall they do, who being baptized for the dead,
        if the dead are not raised at all? Why are they also baptized for the dead?
1Co 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
1Co 15:31 I die daily, yea, by your boasting which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1Co 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead are not raised?
        We may eat and may drink; for tomorrow we die. [Isa 22:13]
1Co 15:33 Be not deceived; Evil companionships corrupt good manners.
1Co 15:34 Awake righteously, and sin not; for some have ignorance of God. I speak [this] to your shame.

1Co 15:35 But some [man] shall say, How are the dead raised? And with what body do they come?
1Co 15:36 [Thou] fool, that which Thou sow is not vivified except it die:
1Co 15:37 and that which Thou sow, Thou sow not that body that shall be [coming],
        but bare grain; if it may be of wheat, or of some other [grain]:
1Co 15:38 but God give it a body, as He would, and to every seed its own body.
1Co 15:39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh;
        but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of [tame] animals, another of fishes, [and] another of fowls.
1Co 15:40 [There are] also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies:
        but the glory of the heavenly [is] different, and the [glory] of the earthly [is] different.
1Co 15:41 [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars;
        for [one] star differs from [another] star in glory.
1Co 15:42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption:
1Co 15:43 it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power:
1Co 15:44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1Co 15:45
        So also it has been written,
        The first Adam (Man) became a living soul, the last Adam [became] a vivifying spirit. [Gen 2:7]
1Co 15:46 But first [was] not which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man [is] from the Earth, Earthy: the second Man [is] the Lord from Heaven.
1Co 15:48 As [is] the Earthy, such [are they] also that [are] Earthy: and as [is] the Heavenly, such [are] they also that are Heavenly.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the Earthy, we shall also bear the image of the Heavenly.
1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; neither corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co 15:51
        Behold, I tell you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last shofar; for the shofar shall sound,
        and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For it must for this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 But when this corruptible should have put on incorruption, and this mortal should have put on immortality,
        then shall be brought to pass the saying that has been written,
        Death has swallowed up in victory. [Isa 25:8]
1Co 15:55 Death, where [is] Thy sting?
        Hades, where [is] Thy victory? [Hos 13:14]
1Co 15:56 The sting of death [is] the sin; and the power of the sin [is] the Law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks [be] to God, who giving us the victory,
        through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 15:58
        Therefore, my beloved brethren, become ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
        knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

1Co 16:1 Now concerning the collection that [is] for the Saints, as I have given order to the Churches of Galatia, so also ye.
1Co 16:2 Upon the First of the Weeks, let every one of you lay by him, treasuring up, whatever he may be prospered, that there may be no collections when I should come.
1Co 16:3 But when I may come, whomsoever ye may approve by [your] letters, them I shall send to bring your liberality to Jerusalem.
1Co 16:4 But if it is worthy that I should go also, they shall go with me.
1Co 16:5
        Now I shall come to you, when I may pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
1Co 16:6 And it may be that I shall abide, or even winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey wherever I may go.
1Co 16:7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
1Co 16:8 But I shall tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost{Festival of Weeks}.
1Co 16:9 For a door, great and effective, has been opened to me, and [there are] many adversaries.
1Co 16:10 But if Timothy may come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord, even as I.
1Co 16:11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brethren.
1Co 16:12 As concerning [our] brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brethren:
        and it was surely not [his] will that he should come now; but he shall come when he should have time.
1Co 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, be ye manly, be strong.
1Co 16:14 Let all your things be done with love.
1Co 16:15
        Now I beseech you, brethren, (ye have known the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia,
        and [that] they appointed themselves to the ministry of the Saints).
1Co 16:16 That ye submit yourselves to such, and to every one that working together and labours.
1Co 16:17 I rejoice of the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus:
         because your deficiency with me they have fulfilled.
1Co 16:18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
1Co 16:19
        The Churches of Asia salute you.
        Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with is in their house the Church{Congregation}.
1Co 16:20 All the brethren salute you. Salute ye one another with a Holy kiss.
1Co 16:21 The greeting by my hand, Paul.
1Co 16:22 If anyone loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, Maran-atha{accursed by our Lord coming}.
1Co 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
1Co 16:24 My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen!

2Co 1:1 [Scroll 37 Second Epistle to the Corinthians].
        Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, to the Church of God which being in Corinth,
        with all the Saints who being in all Achaia.
2Co 1:2 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

2Co 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
        The Father of mercies, and God of all consolation!
2Co 1:4 Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any tribulation by the consolation,
        with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2Co 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
2Co 1:6 And whether we are afflicted, [it is] for your consolation and Salvation,
        which is working in patience of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
        or whether we are comforted, [it is] for your consolation and Salvation.
2Co 1:7 And our hope [is] steadfast for you,
        knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the consolation.
2Co 1:8 For we wish not you to be ignorant, brethren of our trouble which having come to us in Asia,
        that we were pressed out of measure, above power, so that we despaired even of life:
2Co 1:9 but we have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trusting in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead:
2Co 1:10 who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we have hoped that even yet He shall deliver [us].
2Co 1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift [bestowed] upon us by the means of many persons, may be given thanks by many for us.

2Co 1:12 For our boastings is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not with fleshly wisdom,
        but by the grace of God, we have had our manner of life in the World, and more abundantly towards you.
2Co 1:13 For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or even acknowledge; and I hope ye shall acknowledge until [the] end;
2Co 1:14 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.
2Co 1:15 And in this confidence I purposed to come to you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
2Co 1:16 and to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again from Macedonia to you, and by you to be brought on my way towards Judea.
2Co 1:17 Therefore, [when] consulting this, then did I use the lightness?
        Or the things that I counsel, do I counsel according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, yes, and No, no?
2Co 1:18 But [as] God [is] faithful, our word towards you became not; Yes and No.
2Co 1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us,
        by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not; Yes and No, but in Him became Yes.
2Co 1:20 For whatsoever promises of God in Him [are] Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God by us.
2Co 1:21 Now He who confirming us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God;
2Co 1:22 who has also sealed us, and having given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

2Co 1:23 But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to sparing you I came not yet to Corinth.
2Co 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow-workers of your joy: for by faith ye have stood.
2Co 2:1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not to come again to you in grief.
2Co 2:2 For if I make you sorry, so who is he then that makes me glad, except the same who being made sorry by me?
2Co 2:3 And I wrote this same to you, lest having come I may have sorrow from them by whom I ought to rejoice;
        having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.
2Co 2:4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved,
        but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly to you.
2Co 2:5 But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overload you all.
2Co 2:6 Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment, which [was inflicted] by many.
2Co 2:7 So that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort,
        lest such one should be swallowed up with excessive sorrow.
2Co 2:8 Therefore I beseech you that ye would confirm [your] love to him.
2Co 2:9 For to this end also I wrote, that I might know the proof of you, if ye are obedient in all [things].
2Co 2:10 To whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave [it],
        for your sakes [I forgave it], in the face of Christ;
2Co 2:11 lest Satan should take an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

2Co 2:12 Now I having come to Troas to [preach] the Gospel of Christ, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,
2Co 2:13 I have had no relief in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
2Co 2:14
        Now thanks [be] to God, who always causing us to triumph in Christ,
        and manifesting the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.
2Co 2:15 For we are to God a sweet savour of Christ, in them who are being saved, and in them that are perishing:
2Co 2:16 to the one [we are] the savour of death to death;
        and to the other the savour of life to life.
        And who [is] sufficient for these [things]?
2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, who corrupting the Word of GOD: but as from sincerity,
        but as from GOD, before GOD we speak in Christ.

2Co 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Except we need, as some [others], letters of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you?
2Co 3:2 Ye are our letter written in our hearts, being known and being read by all men:
2Co 3:3 being manifested that ye are the letter of Christ served by us,
        written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the Living God; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of the heart.
2Co 3:4
        And such confidence we have through Christ to God.
2Co 3:5 Not that we are sufficient by ourselves to think anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] from God;
2Co 3:6 who also made us sufficient ministers of the New Covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, but the Spirit vivifies.
2Co 3:7 But if the ministry of death having been engraved in letters in stones, was in glory,
        so that the sons of Israel could not stare at the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which is being done away;
2Co 3:8 how shall not the ministry of the Spirit be in glory?
2Co 3:9 For if the ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory.
2Co 3:10 For even that which has been glorious, has not been glorious in this respect, by reason of the exceeding glory.
2Co 3:11 For if that which is being done away [was] with glory, much more that which remaining [is] in glory.
2Co 3:12 Having then that we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech:
2Co 3:13 and not even as Moses, [who] put a veil on his face, [Exo 34:33]
        that the sons of Israel could not stare at the end of that which is being done away.
2Co 3:14 But their minds were hardened: for until today the same veil remains not being unveiled,
        in the reading of the old Covenant; which [veil] is done away in Christ.
2Co 3:15 But until today, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
2Co 3:16 But when it may turn to the LORD, the veil is taken away. [Exo 34:34]
2Co 3:17 And the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the LORD [is], there [is] liberty.
2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
        are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.

2Co 4:1 Therefore, we having this ministry, as we obtained mercy, we not to weary;
2Co 4:2 but have renounced the hidden things of shame;
        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.

2Co 4:3 But if our Gospel is covered, it is covered to them that are perishing:
2Co 4:4 in whom the god of this Age{World} has blinded the minds of those faithless,
        lest the Light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine to them.
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus.
2Co 4:6 For God, having said, Out of darkness is the light to shine, (that has shined into our hearts,
        to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ). [Gen 1:2-4 Isa 9:2]
2Co 4:7
        But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not from us.
2Co 4:8 We being troubled on every side, but not distressed.
        We being perplexed, but not in despair.
2Co 4:9 We being persecuted, but not forsaken.
        We being cast down, but not destroyed.
2Co 4:10
        Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body.
2Co 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
2Co 4:12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
2Co 4:13 We having the same Spirit of faith, according as it has been written,
        I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; [Psa 116:10]
2Co 4:14 knowing, that He who having raised the Lord Jesus, shall raise us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
2Co 4:15 For all [things are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace may, through the thanksgiving of many, abound to the glory of God.
2Co 4:16
        Therefore we not to weary; but though our outward man is wasted, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.
2Co 4:17 For our light affliction, which is momentary, works out for us a far more exceeding [and] everlasting weight of glory;
2Co 4:18 while we not looking at the things which being seen, but at the things which being not seen:
        for the things which being seen [are] temporal; but the things which being not seen [are] eternal.
2Co 5:1 For we have known that if our earthly house of the Tabernacle should be destroyed, we have a building of God,
        a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.
2Co 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our house which is from Heaven:
2Co 5:3 if indeed also having clothed we shall not be found naked.
2Co 5:4 For we that being in the Tabernacle do groan, being burdened:
        not since we wish be stripped, but clothed, that mortality might be swallowed up by the life.
2Co 5:5 Now He who having worked in us for this same thing [is] God, who also having given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
2Co 5:6
        Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, we being at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Co 5:7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight).
2Co 5:8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
2Co 5:9 Therefore we aim that, whether present or absent, to be acceptable to Him.
2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ;
        that every one may receive the things through the body, according to what he has done, whether good or evil.

2Co 5:11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but we have been manifested to God;
        and I hope also have been manifested in your consciences.
2Co 5:12 For we commend not ourselves again to you, but giving you occasion to glory on our behalf,
        that ye may have somewhat to [answer] them who boasting in appearance, and not in heart.
2Co 5:13 For whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God: or whether we are sober, [it is] for your cause.
2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then all died:
2Co 5:15 and [that] He died for all, that they who live should no more live to themselves, but to Him who died for them, and was raised up.
2Co 5:16 So from now on we have known no one according to the flesh:
        but if indeed we have known Christ according to the flesh, but now we know Him no more.
2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [is] a new creation: ancient things have passed away; behold, all [things] have become new.
2Co 5:18 And all [things are] from God, who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19 like, that God was in Christ, reconciling the World to Himself, not reconciling their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] for Christ, be reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For Him who having known no sin, He has made sin [bearer] for us; that we may become the righteousness of God in Him.
2Co 6:1
        But working together [with him], we beseech also that you to receive not the grace of God in vain;
2Co 6:2 (for He says, I have heard Thee in an acceptable time, and in a Day of Salvation have I helped Thee:
        behold, now [is] an accepted time; behold, now [is] a Day of Salvation). [Isa 49:8]
2Co 6:3 Giving no stumbling in anything, that the ministry be not blamed:
2Co 6:4 but in all [things] commending ourselves as the ministers of God,
        in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,
2Co 6:5 in stripes, in prisons, in unrests, in labours, in sleeplessnesses, in fastings;
2Co 6:6 by pureness, by knowledge, by endurance, by kindness,
        by [the] Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,
2Co 6:7 by the word of truth, by the power of God,
        by the armour of righteousness on the right [hand] and on the left,
2Co 6:8 by glory and shame, by evil report and good report:
        as deceivers, and [yet] true;
2Co 6:9 as being unknown, and [yet] being well known;
        as dying, and behold, we live;
        as being chastened, and not being killed;
2Co 6:10 as being sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;
        as poor, yet making many rich;
        as having nothing, and [yet] having all [things].
2Co 6:11
        [Ye] Corinthians, our mouth has been opened to you, our heart has been enlarged.
2Co 6:12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
2Co 6:13 But [for] the same recompense (I speak as to my children), be ye also enlarged.
2Co 6:14
        Become ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
        for what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness{unrighteousness}?
        And what communion has light with darkness?
2Co 6:15 And what concord has Christ to Belial{the Worthless}?
        Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
2Co 6:16 And what agreement has the Sanctuary of God with idols?
        For ye are the Sanctuary of the Living God; as God has said,
        I shall dwell in them,
        and shall walk in [them];
        and I shall be their GOD,
        and they shall be My people. [Eze 37:27 Lev 26:12]
2Co 6:17 Therefore come out from among them, and be separated, [Isa 52:11]
        says the LORD,
        and touch not the unclean; and I shall receive you. [Isa 52:11]
2Co 6:18 And I shall be a Father to you,
        and ye shall be My sons and daughters,
        says the LORD Almighty. [2Sa 7:14 Isa 43:6]
2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, beloved,
        let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
        perfecting Holiness in the fear of God.

2Co 7:2 Receive us; we have wronged no one,
        we have corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one.
2Co 7:3 I speak not [this] to condemn [you]: for I have said before,
        that ye are in our hearts to die and live with [you].
2Co 7:4 Great [is] my boldness of speech towards you,
        great [is] my boasting concerning you:
        I have been filled with comfort,
        I over-abound with joy in all our tribulation.
2Co 7:5
        For, when we having come into Macedonia, our flesh has had no relief, but we being troubled on every side; outside [were] quarrels, inside [were] fears.
2Co 7:6 But God, that comforts the humbles, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
2Co 7:7 and not by his coming only, but by the consolation with which he was comforted in you,
        reporting us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal towards me; so that I the more rejoice.
2Co 7:8
        For though I made you sorry in the letter, I do not regret, though if I did regret:
        for I perceive that the same letter has made you sorry, though [it was] but for an hour.
2Co 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance:
        for ye were made sorry according to God, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
2Co 7:10 For sorrow according to God works repentance into Salvation unregretted, but the sorrow of the World works death.
2Co 7:11 For behold this very thing, that ye sorrowed according to God, what diligence it wrought in you,
         but defence, but indignation, but fear, but anxious desire, but zeal, but punishing!
        In all [things] ye have approved yourselves to be pure in this matter.
2Co 7:12 Therefore, though I wrote to you, [I did it] not for his cause that having done wrong, nor for his cause that having been wronged,
        but that our diligence for you in the sight of GOD might appear to you.
2Co 7:13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: and exceedingly the more we rejoiced for the joy of Titus,
        because His Spirit was refreshed by you all.
2Co 7:14 For if I have boasted anything to him concerning you, I was not ashamed; but as we spoke all [things] to you in truth,
        so also our boasting which was to Titus became truth.
2Co 7:15 And his bowels{affection} is more abundant towards you,
        while he reminding the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
2Co 7:16 I rejoice therefore that I am of good courage in you in all [things].

2Co 8:1 And brethren, we make known to you the grace of God having been given on the Churches of Macedonia;
2Co 8:2 that in a great trial of tribulation, the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality.
2Co 8:3 For to [their] power, I bear testimony, and even beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of themselves;
2Co 8:4 praying us with much entreaty, that we would receive the gift and the communion of the ministering to the Saints.
2Co 8:5 And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God:
2Co 8:6 so that we desired Titus, that as he began before, so also he may also finish in you also this grace.
2Co 8:7 But as ye abound in every [thing], [in] faith and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence,
        and in your love in us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.
2Co 8:8 I speak not by a command, but by occasion of the diligence of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love.
2Co 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He being rich,
        yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.
2Co 8:10 And in this I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be willing a year ago.
2Co 8:11 But now finish doing also; that even as [there was] a readiness to will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye to have.
2Co 8:12 For if there is first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to what a man may have, [and] not according to what he has not.
2Co 8:13 For [I mean] not that others [have] relief, and you affliction:
        but by an equality, [that] now at this time your abundance for your need,
2Co 8:14 that their abundance also may be for your need: that there may be equality:
2Co 8:15 as it has been written,
        he who [gathered] much had nothing over;
        and he who [gathered] little had no lack. [Exo 16:18]

2Co 8:16 But thanks [be] to God, who giving the same diligence in the heart of Titus for you.
2Co 8:17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more diligent, of his own accord he went to you.
2Co 8:18 And we sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the Gospel throughout all the Churches;
2Co 8:19 and not [that] only, but who was also voted by the Churches to travel with us with this grace,
        who being served by us to the glory of the same Lord, and [declaration of] your ready mind:
2Co 8:20 avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance who being served by us.
2Co 8:21 Providing good [things], not only before the LORD, but also in the sight of men. [Pro 3:4]
2Co 8:22 And we sent with them our brother, whom we have often proved being diligent in many [things],
        but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which [I have] in you.
2Co 8:23 Whether concerning Titus, my partner and fellow-worker concerning you:
         or our brethren, [they are] delegates of the Churches, [and] the glory of Christ.
2Co 8:24 Therefore show ye to them, the demonstration of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf, in the face of the Churches.

2Co 9:1 For as concerning the ministering to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2Co 9:2 for I have known the readiness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia,
        that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has incited very many.
2Co 9:3 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:
2Co 9:4 lest if they of Macedonia should come with me, and find you unprepared,
        we (that we may say not, ye) should be ashamed in this confidence of boasting.
2Co 9:5 Therefore I deemed it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before to you, and make up beforehand your bounty,
        of which ye having been announced before, that the same be ready, as [a matter of] bounty, and not of covetousness.
2Co 9:6 But this [I say], he who sowing sparingly, shall reap also sparingly;
        and he who sowing in blessings, shall reap also in blessings.
2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposes in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or by constraint: for God loves a cheerful giver.
2Co 9:8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound towards you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work.
2Co 9:9 As it has been written, He has dispersed; he gave to the poor: His righteousness remains forever. [Psa 112:9]
2Co 9:10 Now He who supplying seed to he who sowing,
        and may supply bread for [your] food, and may multiply your seed sown, and may increase the fruits of your righteousness).
2Co 9:11 Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God.
2Co 9:12 For the ministry of this service not only supplies the want of the Saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings to God;
2Co 9:13 while by the experiment of this ministry they glorify God for your professed subjection to the Gospel of Christ,
        and [for] liberality of the communion{sharing} to them, and to all;
2Co 9:14 and by their prayer for you, who long after you, for the exceeding grace of God in you.
2Co 9:15 Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable gift.

2Co 10:1 Now I, Paul myself beseech you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ,
        who in presence [am] humble among you, but being absent am bold towards you:
2Co 10:2 but I beseech [you], that I may not be bold when I [am] present with that confidence,
        with which I think to be bold against some, counting us as walking according to the flesh;
2Co 10:3 for though we walking in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh:
2Co 10:4 (for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds).
2Co 10:5 Casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD,
        and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2Co 10:6 and they having in a readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience should be fulfilled.
2Co 10:7
        Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If anyone has persuaded himself that he be of Christ's,
        let him of himself think this again, that, as he [is] Christ's, so also [are] we Christ's.
2Co 10:8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification,
        and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed:
2Co 10:9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
2Co 10:10 For the letters he says [are] weighty and strong; but the bodily presence [is] weak, and the speech being despised.
2Co 10:11 Let such one think this, that such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [we are] also in work when we are present.
2Co 10:12 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, do not understand.
2Co 10:13 But we shall not boast of things without [our] measure,
        but according to the measure of the rule which God has distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you.
2Co 10:14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond [our measure], as though we reached not to you;
        for we are come as far as to you also in [preaching] the Gospel of Christ:
2Co 10:15 not boasting of things without [our] measure, [that is], of other men's labours;
        but having hope, when your faith being increased, to be enlarged by you, according to our rule abundantly,
2Co 10:16 to preach the Gospel in the [regions] beyond you, [and] not in another man's line of things made ready, to boast.
2Co 10:17 But he who boasts, let him boast in the LORD. [Jer 9:24]
2Co 10:18 For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

2Co 11:1 I would ye could bear with me a little of the folly: but ye also bear with me.
2Co 11:2 For I am jealous of you with godly{exceeding} jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a pure virgin to Christ.
2Co 11:3 But I fear lest, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his craftiness, [Gen 3:1-7]
        so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2Co 11:4 For if he who coming preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached,
        or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye not received,
        or another Gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye were bear [him] well.
2Co 11:5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very greatest apostles.
2Co 11:6 But if though [I am] unskilled in speech, but not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all [things].
2Co 11:7 Or have I committed a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached the Gospel to you: the Gospel of God freely?
2Co 11:8 I stripped other Churches, having taken wages [of them], to do you service.
2Co 11:9 And being present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no one: for that which was lacking to me was supplied by the brethren who having come from Macedonia:
        and in all [things] I have kept myself in everything not burdensome to you, and [so] I shall keep [myself].
2Co 11:10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting shall not be stopped in me in the regions of Achaia.
2Co 11:11 Why? Because I love you not? God has known.
2Co 11:12 But what I do, that I shall do, that I may cut off occasion from them who desire occasion; that in what they boast, they may be found even as we.
2Co 11:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Co 11:14 And [it is] not marvellous; for Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of Light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

2Co 11:16 I say again, Let no man think me to be foolish; otherwise, even if as a fool receive me, that I also may boast myself a little.
2Co 11:17 That which I speak, I speak [it] not according to the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
2Co 11:18 Since many boast after the flesh, I shall boast also.
2Co 11:19 For ye bear fools gladly, being wise.
2Co 11:20 For ye bear, if anyone brings you into bondage, if anyone devours [you],
        if anyone takes [from you], if anyone exalt himself, if anyone beat you on the face.
2Co 11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as that we were weak.
        But in whatever respect any may be bold, (I speak foolishly) I am bold also.
2Co 11:22 Are they Hebrews? I also.
          Are they Israelites? I also.
          Are they the seed of Abraham? I also.
2Co 11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] more;
        in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often.
2Co 11:24 By the Jews five times I received forty [stripes] minus one.
2Co 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
2Co 11:26 [in] journeys often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by my [own] countrymen, [in] perils by the gentiles,
        [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;
2Co 11:27 in weariness and painfulness, in sleeplessnesses often, in famine and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
2Co 11:28
        Besides those things that are outside, that which comes upon me daily, the care of all the Churches.
2Co 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I am not burned?
2Co 11:30 If I must necessarily boast, I shall boast of the things about my infirmities.
2Co 11:31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who being blessed forever, has known that I not lie.
2Co 11:32 In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, wishing to take me:
2Co 11:33 and through a window in a basket I was let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

2Co 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to boast. I shall come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2Co 12:2 I have known before a man in Christ, above fourteen years [ago], (whether in the body, I have not known;
        or whether out of the body, I have not known: God has known). Such one caught up to the third Heaven.
2Co 12:3 And I have known such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I have not known: God has known).
2Co 12:4 That he was caught up into Garden{Paradise}, and heard unspeakable sayings, which it is not lawful for a man to speak.
2Co 12:5 Of such one I shall boast: yet of myself I shall not boast, except in my infirmities.
2Co 12:6 For though I should desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I shall say the truth: but [now] I forbear,
        lest anyone should think of me above that which he sees me [to be], or [what] he hears from me.
2Co 12:7 And lest I might be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,
        the Angel of Satan might buffet me, lest I might be exalted above measure.
2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
2Co 12:9 And He has said to me,
        My grace is sufficient for Thee: for My power is made perfect in weakness.
        Most gladly therefore shall I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may residence upon me.
2Co 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in needs,
        in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I may be weak, then am I strong.
2Co 12:11 I have become a fool in boasting; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended by you:
        for in nothing I was behind the very greatest apostles, though I am nothing.
2Co 12:12 Truly the signs of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and miracles.
2Co 12:13
        For what is that in which ye were inferior to other Churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this unrighteousness.

2Co 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I shall not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you.
        For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
2Co 12:15 But I shall most gladly spend and shall be spent for your souls; even If I loving you more, the less I am loved.
2Co 12:16 But let it be so, I did not burden you: but being crafty, I caught you with guile.
2Co 12:17 Did I take advantage of you by any of them whom I sent to you?
2Co 12:18 I desired Titus, and with [him] I sent a brother. Has Titus taken advantage of you?
        Walked we not in the same spirit? [Walked we] not in the same steps?
2Co 12:19 Again, think ye that we [need to] reply as defence to you?
        We speak before God in Christ: but [we do] all [things], beloved, for your edification.
2Co 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I having come, I may not find you such as I wish, and I may be found by you such as you do not wish:
        lest [there be] debates, envies, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, puffings up, unrests.
2Co 12:21 Lest, when I having come again, my God may humble me among you, and I shall mourn over many who having sinned before,
        and have not repented of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousnesses, which they did.

2Co 13:1 This [is] the third [time] I come to you: By the mouth of two or three witnesses every saying shall be established. [Deu 19:15]
2Co 13:2 I have said you before, and foretell you, as if I being present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them who having sinned before,
        and to all others, that if I should come again, I shall not spare;
2Co 13:3 since ye seek the proof of Christ speaking in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you.
2Co 13:4 For even if He was crucified through weakness, yet He lives by the power of God.
        For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God towards you.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, if ye are in the faith; prove yourselves.
        Or know ye not yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye are reprobates?
2Co 13:6 But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
2Co 13:7
        Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved,
        but that ye may do that which is good, though we should be as reprobates.
2Co 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
2Co 13:9 For we are glad, when we may be weak, and ye may be strong: and this also we wish, your perfection.
2Co 13:10 Therefore I write these [things] being absent, lest being present I may use sharply,
        according to the power which the Lord gave me to edification, and not to destruction.

2Co 13:11 Finally, brethren, rejoice. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of the same mind,
        be at peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
2Co 13:12 Salute one another with a Holy kiss.
2Co 13:13 All the Saints salute you.
2Co 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, [be] with you all. Amen!

Gal 1:1 [Scroll 38 Epistle to the Galatians].
        Paul, an apostle, (not from men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ,
        and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead);
Gal 1:2 and all the brethren who are with me, to the Churches of Galatia.
Gal 1:3 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God [the] Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil Age{World}, according to the will of God and our Father:
Gal 1:5 to whom [be] glory forever and ever. Amen!

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so quickly removed from Him who having called you in the grace of Christ, to another Gospel:
Gal 1:7 which is not another; except there are some that trouble you, and wishing to pervert the Gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an Angel from Heaven, should preach any other Gospel to you than the Gospel which we preached to you, let him be anathema{accursed}.
Gal 1:9 As we have said you before, and now I say again, If anyone preaches any other Gospel to you than that ye received, let him be anathema{accursed}.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men?
        For if I yet pleased men, I was not the servant of Christ.
Gal 1:11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the Gospel: the Gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Gal 1:13 For ye heard of my behaviour in time past in Judaism, that beyond measure I persecuted the Church of God, and extinguished her;
Gal 1:14 and profited in Judaism above many my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 But when God was pleased, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by His grace,
Gal 1:16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach the Gospel of Him among the nations; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Gal 1:17 neither did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Gal 1:19 But I saw no other of the apostles, except James the Lord's brother.
Gal 1:20 Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Gal 1:21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Gal 1:22 and was being unknown by face to the Churches of Judea which were in Christ:
Gal 1:23 but they were only hearing, that he who persecuting us in past times, now preaches the Gospel, the faith which he once extinguished.
Gal 1:24 And they glorified God in me.

Gal 2:1 Then after fourteen years, I go up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, and took with me also Titus.
Gal 2:2 And I went by revelation, and communicated to them that Gospel which I preach among the gentiles,
        but privately to them who were of reputation, lest I should run, or did run in vain.
Gal 2:3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek{gentile}, was compelled to be circumcised.
Gal 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in,
        who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.
Gal 2:5 To whom we yielded by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you.
Gal 2:6 But of these, who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it makes no matter to me:
        God accepts no one's face): for they who seemed [to be somewhat], in conference added nothing to me:
Gal 2:7 but on the contrary, they having seen that I have been entrusted with the Gospel of uncircumcision, as Peter of circumcision;
Gal 2:8 (for he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, also wrought in me towards the gentiles).
Gal 2:9 And they having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars,
        they gave to me and Barnabas the right [hands] of communion; that we [should go] to the gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
Gal 2:10 Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was diligent to do.
Gal 2:11
        But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
Gal 2:12 For before some came from James, he was eating with the gentiles:
        but when they came, he was withdrawing and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.
Gal 2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Gal 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before [them] all,
        If Thou, being a Jew, live after the manner of gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compel Thou the gentiles to live as Jews?
Gal 2:15
        We [are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the gentiles,
Gal 2:16 knowing that a man is not justified by works of Law,
        but through faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed into Christ Jesus,
        that we may be justified by faith of Christ, and not by works of Law:
        because by works of Law shall no flesh be justified.
Gal 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners,
        [is] Christ then the minister of sin?
        Let it not be.
Gal 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Gal 2:19 For I through the Law am dead to the Law, that I may live to God.
Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ: and I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me:
        and the life which I now live in flesh,
        I live in faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Gal 2:21 I do not reject the grace of God: for if righteousness [is attainable] by the Law, then Christ died for nothing.
Gal 3:1
        O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, [that] ye not to be obeyed the truth,
        before whose eyes Jesus Christ was among you be described [as] having been crucified?
Gal 3:2 This only I wish to learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by works of Law, or by the hearing of faith?
Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Gal 3:4 Have ye suffered so many [things] vainly? If indeed also vainly.
Gal 3:5 He therefore that supplying to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you,
        [does he this] by works of Law, or by the hearing of faith?
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. [Gen 15:6]
Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, these are the sons of Abraham.
Gal 3:8 And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, preached before the Gospel to Abraham,
        [saying], In Thee shall all nations be blessed. [Gen 22:18]
Gal 3:9 So then they who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Gal 3:10 For as many as are by works of Law, are under the curse: for it has been written,
        Cursed [be] all that continues not in all [things] which has been written in the Book of the Law to do them! [Deu 27:26]
Gal 3:11 But that no one is justified by the Law in the sight of GOD, [is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith; [Hab 2:4]
Gal 3:12 and the Law is not of faith: but the man who doing these [things] shall live by them. [Lev 18:5]
Gal 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us: for it has been written,
        every one who hanging on a tree: [is] accursed. [Deu 21:23]
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles in Christ Jesus;
        that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; yet a man's Covenant,
         having been confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
        He says not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to Thy seed, which is Christ. [Gen 12:7]
Gal 3:17 And this I say, [that] the Covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ,
         the Law, having come four hundred thirty years after, cannot annul, that it should nullify the promise.
Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance [is] by the Law, [it is] no more by promise: but God has granted [it] to Abraham by promise.
Gal 3:19 Why then [serves] the Law? It was added because of transgressions,
        until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made; [and it was] ordained by Angels in the hand of a mediator.
Gal 3:20 Now a mediator is not a [mediator] of One; but God is One.
Gal 3:21
        [Is] the Law then against the promises of God?
        Let it not be:
        for if there a Law was given which could to vivify, indeed righteousness was by the Law.
Gal 3:22 But the Scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believing.
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were guarded under the Law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24 Therefore the Law has become our instructor to Christ, that we may be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But after faith is come, we are no longer under an instructor.
Gal 3:26 For ye are all sons of GOD through faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many as were baptized into Christ, have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek{gentile}, there is neither bondman nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 But if ye [are] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Gal 4:1 Now I say, [that] the heir, as long as he is an infant, differs nothing from a servant, though he being lord of all;
Gal 4:2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.
Gal 4:3 So also we, when we were infants, were in bondage under the elements of the World:
Gal 4:4 but when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, having become <born of a woman>, having become born under the Law, [Gen 3:15 Act 3:26 Rev 12:4-5]
Gal 4:5 to redeem them that were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption.
Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Gal 4:7 Therefore Thou are no more a bondman, but a son; but if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

Gal 4:8 But then, indeed, ye not knowing God, ye did service to them which by nature being no gods.
Gal 4:9 But now, ye having known God, or rather are known by God,
        how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage?
Gal 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Gal 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest vainly upon you, I have laboured.
Gal 4:12
        Brethren, I beseech you, become as I [am]; for I [am] also as ye [are]: ye have not injured me at all.
Gal 4:13 But ye have known that in infirmity of the flesh I preached the Gospel to you at the first.
Gal 4:14 And my trial which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an Angel of GOD, as Christ Jesus.
Gal 4:15 What then was your blessedness? For I bear you testimony,
        that if possible, your eyes having plucked out and given them to me.
Gal 4:16 Therefore I have become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
Gal 4:17 They are zealous [for] you, [but] not well; but they wish to exclude you, that ye may zealous to them.
Gal 4:18 But [it is] good to be always zealous in a good [thing], and not only in me to be present with you.
Gal 4:19
        My little children, of whom I travail again, until Christ be formed in you,
Gal 4:20 I desired to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

Gal 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the Law, do ye not hear the Law?
Gal 4:22 For it has been written, that Abraham had two sons; the one by a bondmaid and one by the free[-woman].
Gal 4:23 But he [who was] of the bondmaid, has been born according to the flesh; but he of the free[-woman was] through the promise.
Gal 4:24 Which things are being allegorized: for these are the two Covenants;
        the one from the Mount Sinai, engendering to bondage, which is Hagar.
Gal 4:25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which [is] above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Gal 4:27 For it has been written,
        Rejoice, [Thou] barren that bears not;
        break forth and cry, Thou that travail not:
        for the desolate has many more children,
        than she who has a husband. [Isa 54:1]
Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Gal 4:29 But as then he who having been born according to the flesh persecuted him,
        [that was born] according to the Spirit, so also [it is] now.
Gal 4:30 But what says the Scripture? Cast out the bondmaid and her son:
        for the son of the bondmaid should not inherit with the son of the free-woman. [Gen 21:10]
Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondmaid, but of the free.
Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free,
        and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Gal 5:2 Behold, I, Paul say to you, that if ye should be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Gal 5:3 But I testify again to every man that being circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole Law.
Gal 5:4 To you is the Christ{Messiah} become nullified,
        whoever of you are justified by the Law; ye have fallen from grace.
Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith by love working.
Gal 5:7 Ye did run well, who hindered you [that] ye not to be obeyed the truth?
Gal 5:8 This persuasion [comes] not from Him who calling you.
Gal 5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Gal 5:10 I have confidence in you by the Lord, that ye shall be no otherwise minded:
        but he who troubling you shall bear the Judgment, whoever he may be.
Gal 5:11 But I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why I am still persecuted?
        Then the offence of the cross has been ceased.
Gal 5:12 I would they were even cut off who trouble you.
Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty;
        only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Gal 5:14
        For all the Law is fulfilled in one saying, in this,
        Thou shall love Thy neighbour as thyself. [Lev 19:18]
Gal 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one by another.

Gal 5:16 But I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye should not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh:
        and these are contrary to one another; so that ye might not do these [things] that ye may wish.
Gal 5:18 But if ye are led by [the] Spirit, ye are not under the Law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these],
        Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strifes, rivalries, wraths, contentions, divisions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 envies, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like:
        of which I forewarned, as I have also told [you] in time past,
        that they who doing such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, endurance, kindness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 meekness, temperance: against such [there] is no Law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, we also should march in the Spirit.
Gal 5:26 Let us not be vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

Gal 6:1 Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual,
        restore such one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest Thou also be tempted.
Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the Law of Christ.
Gal 6:3 For if any think to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself.
Gal 6:4 But let every man prove his own work, and then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Gal 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden of conscience.
Gal 6:6 Let him that being taught in the Word share to him that teaches in all good things.
Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man may sows, that shall he also reap.
Gal 6:8 For he who sowing to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption:
        but he who sowing to the Spirit, shall from the Spirit reap everlasting life.
Gal 6:9 And let us not be weary in doing good: for in our due time we shall reap, we not fainting.
Gal 6:10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to them who are of the household of the faith.

Gal 6:11 See ye how large letters I wrote to you by my hand.
Gal 6:12 As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, these compel you to be circumcised;
         only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
Gal 6:13 For neither they themselves who are being circumcised keep the Law;
        but desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
Gal 6:14 But let it not be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
        by whom the World has been crucified to me, and I to the World.
Gal 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
Gal 6:16 And as many as shall march according to this rule, peace [be] on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Gal 6:17 Henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
Gal 6:18
        Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen!

Eph 1:1 [Scroll 39 Epistle to the Ephesians].
        Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the Saints who being in Ephesus,
        and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
Eph 1:2 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

Eph 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
        Who having blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Heavenly [places] in Christ:
Eph 1:4 according as He has chosen us in Him, before the foundation of the World,
        that we to be Holy and blameless before Him in love:
Eph 1:5 having predestinated us to adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Eph 1:6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He has made us favoured in the Beloved:
Eph 1:7 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the richness of His grace;
Eph 1:8 in which He has abounded towards us in all wisdom and prudence.
Eph 1:9 Having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself:
Eph 1:10 that in the stewardship of the fullness of times He to recapitulate all [things] in Christ,
        both which are in the Heavens, and which are upon the Earth; in Him:
Eph 1:11 in whom also we were obtained an inheritance,
        being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all [things] after the counsel of His own will:
Eph 1:12 for us to be in praise of His glory, who have hoped before in the Christ{Messiah};
Eph 1:13 in whom ye also having heard the word of the truth, the Gospel of your Salvation:
        in whom also ye having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 who is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Eph 1:15 Therefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to all the Saints,
Eph 1:16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Eph 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory,
        may give to you the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him:
Eph 1:18 having enlightened the eyes [by] your understanding; for you to know what is the hope of His calling,
        and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the Saints,
Eph 1:19 and what [is] the exceedingly greatness of His power towards us that believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
Eph 1:20 which He wrought in Christ, when He having raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right [hand] in the Heavenly [places],
Eph 1:21 far above all principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that being named,
        not only in this Age{World}, but also in that which is to come:
Eph 1:22 and put all [things] under His feet, and gave Him [to be] the head over all [things] to the Church,
Eph 1:23 which is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all.

Eph 2:1 And you being dead [in] the trespasses and the sins;
Eph 2:2 in which in time past ye walked according to the [course of this] Age of the World,
        according to the ruler of the power of the air{Satan}, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 among whom also we all had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
        doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Eph 2:4 But God, who being rich in mercy, for His great love with which He loved us,
Eph 2:5 even when we being dead [in] the trespasses, He made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved).
Eph 2:6 And He raised [us] up together and seated [us] together in Heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 that in the Ages to come He might show the exceeding richness of His grace in [His] kindness towards us, in Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8
        For by grace ye are having been saved, through the faith; [Jas 2:14-24]
        and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of GOD:
Eph 2:9 not by works, lest anyone may boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are His making, created in Christ Jesus to good works,
        which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

Eph 2:11 Therefore remember, that ye [being] in time past gentiles in the flesh,
        who being called Uncircumcision by that which being called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 that at that time ye were without Christ, alienated from the Citizenship of Israel,
        and strangers from the Covenants of Promise, having no hope, and godless in the World:
Eph 2:13 but now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly being far off, became near by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For He is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition;
Eph 2:15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, the Law of Commandments [contained] in decrees:
         that He might in Himself create the two into one new man, making peace;
Eph 2:16 and that He might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having killed the enmity by it:
Eph 2:17 and having come and preached the Gospel of Peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were near.
Eph 2:18 For through Him we both have an access by One Spirit to the Father.
Eph 2:19 So then, ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
        but fellow-citizens with the Saints, and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
        Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner-[stone];
Eph 2:21 in whom all the building being fitly joined together,
        grows to a Holy Sanctuary in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 in whom ye also are built together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Eph 3:1 For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you gentiles,
Eph 3:2 if indeed ye heard of the stewardship of the grace of God which was given me on your account.
Eph 3:3 That by revelation He made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words;
Eph 3:4 by which when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,
Eph 3:5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men,
        as it is now revealed to His Holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph 3:6 that the gentiles to be joint-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ by the Gospel:
Eph 3:7 of which I became a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God was given to me by the working of His power.
Eph 3:8 To me, who [am] less than the least of all Saints,
        is this grace was given, that I should preach the Gospel among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Eph 3:9 and enlighten all to see what [is] the communion of the mystery,
        that has been hid from the Ages in God, who having created all [things] by Jesus Christ:
Eph 3:10 to the intent that now to the principalities and authorities in Heavenly [places] might be known by the Church the manifold wisdom of GOD,
Eph 3:11 according to the purpose of Ages which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Eph 3:12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of Him,
Eph 3:13 therefore I desire that ye not to weary at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

Eph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Eph 3:15 of whom the whole family in Heavens and Earth is named,
Eph 3:16 that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;
Eph 3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
Eph 3:18 that ye, having been rooted and having been founded in love,
         may be able to comprehend with all Saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth, and height.
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Eph 3:20 Now to Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that working in us.
Eph 3:21 To Him [be] the glory in the Church in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever, Amen!

Eph 4:1 Therefore I beseech you, [as] the prisoner of the Lord, that ye walk worthy of the vocation by which ye are called,
Eph 4:2 with all humility and meekness, with endurance, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 [There is] one body, and One Spirit, even as ye also were called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Eph 4:6 One GOD and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.
Eph 4:7 But to every one of us was given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:8 Therefore He says,
        He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. [Psa 68:18]
Eph 4:9 Now that He ascended, what is it except that He also descended first into the lower parts of the Earth?
Eph 4:10 He who having descended is the same also that ascended far above all the Heavens, that He might fill all [things].

Eph 4:11 And He gave some apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some shepherds{pastors} and teachers;
Eph 4:12 to the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13 until we may all come in the unity of the faith, and of the full knowledge of the Son of God,
        to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
Eph 4:14 that we henceforth may be no more infants, tossed back and forth, and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
        by the trickery of men, [and] by their craftiness after the scheming of deceit:
Eph 4:15 but telling the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all [things], who is the head, [the] Christ{Messiah}:
Eph 4:16 from whom the whole body being fitly joined together and being compacted by that which every joint supply,
        according to the working in one measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love.

Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as other gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Eph 4:18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that being in them, because of the hardness of their heart:
Eph 4:19 who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with covetousness.
Eph 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
Eph 4:21 if indeed ye heard Him, and were taught in Him, as [the] truth is in Jesus:
Eph 4:22 for you to put off concerning the former behaviour of the old man, which being corrupted according to the deceitful lusts:
Eph 4:23 and be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
Eph 4:24 and you to put on the new man, which after God was created in righteousness and Holiness of the truth.

Eph 4:25 Therefore putting away lying, speak ye every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. [Zec 8:16]
Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: [Psa 4:4]
        let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph 4:27 neither give place to the devil.
Eph 4:28 Let him that stealing steal no more: but rather let him labour,
        working with [his] hands the thing which is good,
        that he may have to give to him that needs.
Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
        but if any is good to the need of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.
Eph 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed to [the] day of redemption.
Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32 and become ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ's sake has forgiven you.
Eph 5:1 Become ye therefore followers of God, as beloved children;
Eph 5:2 and walk in love, as Christ also loved us,
        and gave Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.
Eph 5:3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness,
        let it not be once named among you, as becomes Saints;
Eph 5:4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not fitting: but rather thanksgiving.
Eph 5:5
        For this ye are knowing, that no fornicator, nor unclean [person], nor covetous,
        who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these [things] comes the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
Eph 5:7 Become ye not therefore partakers with them.
Eph 5:8 For ye were sometime darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of Light;
Eph 5:9 (for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth);
Eph 5:10 proving what is acceptable to the Lord.
Eph 5:11 And have no share with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].
Eph 5:12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
Eph 5:13 But all [things] that being reproved are manifested by the light: for whatever being manifested is light.
Eph 5:14 Therefore He says,
        Awake, Thou that sleep,
        and arise from the dead,
        and the Christ{Messiah} shall shine upon Thee Light.
Eph 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Eph 5:16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Eph 5:17 Therefore be ye not foolish, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].
Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled in [the] Spirit;
Eph 5:19 speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and singing-psalms in your heart to the Lord,
Eph 5:20 giving thanks always for all [things], in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father.

Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife,
        even as the <Christ{Messiah} is the head of the Church>: and He is the Saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 But as the Church is subject to Christ, so also [let] wives [be] to their own husbands in everything.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your own wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself for her;
Eph 5:26 that He might sanctify and having cleansed [her] with the washing of water by the saying,
Eph 5:27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle,
        or any such thing; but that she should be Holy and blameless.
Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He who loving his wife, loves himself;
Eph 5:29 for no one ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the Church:
Eph 5:30 for we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.
Eph 5:31 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be cleave to his wife,
        and they two shall be one flesh. [Gen 2:24]
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let also every one of you in particular: so love his wife as himself:
        and the wife [see] that she may reverence the husband.
Eph 6:1
        Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Eph 6:2 Honour Thy father and Thy mother; (which is the first Commandment with promise) [Exo 20:12 Deu 5:16]
Eph 6:3 that it may be well with Thee, and Thou shall be live long on the land. [Exo 20:12 Deu 5:16]
Eph 6:4 And ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Eph 6:5
        Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with reverence and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;
Eph 6:6 not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul;
Eph 6:7 with benevolence serving, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Eph 6:8 Knowing that whatsoever each may have done good, the same shall receive from the Lord, whether bondman or free.
Eph 6:9 And ye lords, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening:
        knowing that your Lord also is in Heavens; neither is there respect of persons{favouritism} with Him.

Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye be able to stand against the scheming of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
        but against principalities, against authorities, against the rulers of the darkness of this Age{World},
        against spiritual [things] of wickedness in heavenly [places].
Eph 6:13 Therefore take to you the whole armour of God,
        that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having wrought all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having put on the Breast-plate of Righteousness; [Isa 59:17]
Eph 6:15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace;
Eph 6:16 above all, having taken the Shield of Faith, with which ye shall be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the Evil.
Eph 6:17 And to receive the Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God: [Isa 59:17]
Eph 6:18 By all prayer and supplication praying in all time in Spirit,
        and watching for this same purpose with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints;
Eph 6:19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me,
        that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
Eph 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Eph 6:21 But that ye may know also my affairs, [and] shall make all [things] known to you:
        How I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord,
Eph 6:22 whom I sent to you for this same purpose, that ye may know the things about us, and he may comfort your hearts.
Eph 6:23
        Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith from God [the] Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph 6:24 Grace [be] with all them that loving our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen!

Php 1:1 [Scroll 40 Epistle to the Philippians].
        Paul, and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the Saints in Christ Jesus who being in Philippi,
        with the overseers{bishops} and deacons.
Php 1:2 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

Php 1:3 I give thanks [to] my God upon every remembrance of you,
Php 1:4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
Php 1:5 for your communion in the Gospel from the first day until now;
Php 1:6 having been confidence of this same thing, that He who having begun a good work in you, shall perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
Php 1:7 even as it is right for me to think this of you all,
        because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds,
        and in the defence and confirmation of the Gospel, ye all being partakers of my grace.
Php 1:8 For God is my witness, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Php 1:9 And this I pray, that yet your love may abound more in full knowledge and [in] all discernment;
Php 1:10 that ye may approve the things excelling; that ye may be pure and without offence until the day of Christ;
Php 1:11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Php 1:12 But I wish you to know, brethren,
        that the things [which happened] to me has turned out rather to the progress of the Gospel;
Php 1:13 so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in whole the Praetorium{judgment-hall}, and in all other [places];
Php 1:14 and many of the brethren in the Lord, having been confident by my bonds,
        are much more bold to speak the Word without fear.
Php 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife; and some also from good pleasure.
Php 1:16 Those indeed preach Christ from contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Php 1:17 but the other from love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospel.
Php 1:18 For what? Nevertheless every manner, whether in pretence or in truth,
        Christ is preached; but I in it do rejoice, but also I shall rejoice.
Php 1:19 For I have known that this shall turn to my Salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Php 1:20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness,
        as always, [so] now also, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
Php 1:21 For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
Php 1:22 But if I to live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my work: yet what I shall choose I know not.
Php 1:23 For I am pressed between two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Php 1:24 but to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.
Php 1:25 And having been this confidence, I have known that I shall abide and continue with you all for your progress and joy of the faith;
Php 1:26 that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Christ Jesus in me by my coming to you again.
Php 1:27
        Only live as citizens in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ:
        that whether I coming and looking you or being absent, I may hear of the things about you,
        that ye stand fast in one spirit and one soul striving together for the faith of the Gospel;
Php 1:28 and not being terrified by your adversaries:
        which is to them a demonstration of perdition, but to you of Salvation, and that from God.
Php 1:29 For to you it was granted in the behalf of Christ,
        not only to believe into Him, but also to suffer for His sake;
Php 1:30 having the same conflict which ye saw in me, [and] now hear [to be] in me.

Php 2:1 If [there is] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love,
        if any communion of the Spirit, if any bowels{tenders} and mercies,
Php 2:2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye may be of the same mind, having the same love,
        [being] of one accord, of one mind.
Php 2:3 [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vain glory;
        but in humility, deeming one another better than themselves.
Php 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Php 2:5
        For let this mind be in you,
        which [was] also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 who, being in [the] form of God,
        deemed it not seizure to be equal [to] God:
Php 2:7 but made Himself of no reputation,
        and having taken the form of a Servant,
        and He having been made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 and being found in fashion as a man,
        He humbled Himself,
        and became obedient until death,
        even the death of the cross.
Php 2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him,
        and granted Him a name which [is] above every name:
Php 2:10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
        [those] Heavenly and earthly, and under the Earth;
Php 2:11 and [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] LORD,
        to the glory of God [the] Father.
Php 2:12
        Therefore, my beloved, as ye always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,
        work out your own Salvation with fear and trembling.
Php 2:13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of [His] good pleasure.
Php 2:14 Do all [things] without murmurings and reasonings:
Php 2:15 that ye may become blameless and innocent, the children of GOD, without rebuke,
        in the middle of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye are shined as lights in the World;
Php 2:16 holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Php 2:17 But if I am even offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
Php 2:18 And ye also rejoice [in] the same and rejoice with me.

Php 2:19 But I trust in Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you,
        that I also may be of good comfort, having known the things about you.
Php 2:20 For I have no one like-minded, who genuinely shall care for the things about you.
Php 2:21 For all seek their own, not the things of Christ Jesus.
Php 2:22 But ye know the proof of him, that as a child with the father, he has served with me in the Gospel.
Php 2:23 Therefore, I may see through the [things] about me, so I hope to send this immediately.
Php 2:24 But I have confidence in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
Php 2:25
        Yet I deemed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus,
        my brother, and fellow-workers, and fellow-soldier, and your delegate and minister of my need.
Php 2:26 Since he was longing after you all, and being distressed, because ye heard that he was sick.
Php 2:27 For indeed he was sick near to death: but God had mercy on him;
        and not on him only, but on me also, lest I might have sorrow upon sorrow.
Php 2:28 I sent him therefore the more speedily, that ye having seen him again,
        ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful.
Php 2:29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in reputation:
Php 2:30 because for the work of Christ he was near to death, not regarding the soul, that he may fill the need of your service towards me.

Php 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.
        To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not tiresome, but for you [it is] safe.
Php 3:2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil-workers, beware of the mutilators.
Php 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit,
        and boast in Christ Jesus, and having been no confidence in the flesh.
Php 3:4 Although I might also to having confidence in the flesh.
        If any other thinks that he has trusted in the flesh, I more:
Php 3:5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin,
        a Hebrew of Hebrews; with respect to the Law, a Pharisee;
Php 3:6 concerning zeal, persecuting the Church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the Law, blameless.

Php 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I deemed loss for Christ.
Php 3:8 But doubtless, and I deem all [things] to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord:
        for whom I have suffered the loss of all [things], and deem them to be trash, that I might gain Christ,
Php 3:9 and may be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the Law,
        but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God upon faith:
Php 3:10 to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the communion of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death;
Php 3:11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
Php 3:12 Not that I already received or already have been perfected:
        but I pursue, if I also may lay hold, inasmuch as I also was laid hold by Christ Jesus.
Php 3:13
        Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing:
        [I do], forgetting those things which are behind,
        and reaching forward to those things which are before,
Php 3:14 I pursue towards the goal for the prize of the calling above of God in Christ Jesus.
Php 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as [are] perfect, be thus minded:
        and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.
Php 3:16 Nevertheless to what we have already attained, let us march by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
Php 3:17
        Brethren, become ye followers together of me, and mark them who walking so as ye have us for an example.
Php 3:18 (for many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Php 3:19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things).
Php 3:20 For our citizenship is in Heavens; from where also we wait for the Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ:
Php 3:21 who shall transform our body of humiliation, that it may be fashioned like to His body of glory,
        according to the working by which He is able even to subdue Himself to all [things].
Php 4:1 Therefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.

Php 4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
Php 4:3 And I entreat Thee also, genuine yoke-fellow, help those [women] who strove together with me in the Gospel,
        with Clement also, and [with] other my fellow-workers, whose names [are] in the <Book of Life>.
Php 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: [and] again I say, Rejoice.
Php 4:5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord [is] near.
Php 4:6 Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passes every mind, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Php 4:8
        Finally, brethren,
        whatever things are true,
        whatever things [are] honourable,
        whatever things [are] just,
        whatever things [are] pure,
        whatever things [are] lovely,
        whatever things [are] of good report;
        and if [there is] any virtue, and if [there is] any praise, think on these [things].
Php 4:9 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.
Php 4:10
        But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now at last ye flourished again to think on me; wherein ye were also thinking, but ye lacked opportunity.
Php 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I learned, in what [circumstances] I am, [with that] to be content.
Php 4:12 I have known both how to be humbled, and I have known how to abound:
        everywhere and in all [things] I am instructed both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to lack need.
Php 4:13 I [am] strong for all [things] in Christ who strengthening me.
Php 4:14 But ye did well, ye having shared with my affliction.
Php 4:15 Now, ye Philippians, have known also, that in [the] beginning of the Gospel, when I departed from Macedonia,
        no Church shared with me as concerning giving and receiving, except ye only.
Php 4:16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and twice to my need.
Php 4:17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Php 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus,
        the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet savour, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
Php 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Php 4:20 Now to our God and Father [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen!

Php 4:21 Salute every Saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.
Php 4:22 All the Saints salute you, especially they that are of Caesar's household.
Php 4:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen!

Col 1:1 [Scroll 41 Epistle to the Colossians].
        Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother,
Col 1:2 to the Saints in Colossae and faithful brethren in Christ:
        Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

Col 1:3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Col 1:4 we having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the Saints,
Col 1:5 for the hope which is laid up for you in the Heavens,
        of which ye heard before in the word of the truth of the Gospel;
Col 1:6 which is present to you, as [it is] in all the World;
        and is bringing forth fruit, as [it does] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth:
Col 1:7 as ye also learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
Col 1:8 who also declared to us your love in [the] Spirit.
Col 1:9
        Therefore we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you,
        and to desire that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Col 1:10 that ye to walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the full knowledge of GOD;
Col 1:11 being strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, to all patience and endurance with joy;
Col 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us sufficient to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in the Light:
Col 1:13 who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated [us] into the Kingdom of the Son of His love:
Col 1:14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the sins:
Col 1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation:
Col 1:16 for in Him were all [things] created, that are in the Heavens, and that are upon the Earth, visible and invisible,
        whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or authorities: all [things] were created through Him, and for Him.
Col 1:17 And He is before all [things], and in Him all [things] have consisted.
Col 1:18 And He is the head of the body, the Church: who is [the] Beginning,
        [the] first-born from the dead; that in all [things] He may be the pre-eminence.
Col 1:19 For it did pleased [the Father] that in Him should all fullness dwell;
Col 1:20 and having made peace through the blood of His cross, through Him to reconcile all [things] to Himself;
        through Him, whether the [things] on the Earth, whether the [things] in the Heavens.
Col 1:21
        And you, that being formerly alienated and enemies in the mind by the wicked works, yet now has He reconciled,
Col 1:22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you Holy and blameless and faultless before Him:
Col 1:23 if indeed ye continue [in] the faith founded and settled, and [are] not being moved away from the hope of the Gospel,
        which ye heard, [and] which has been preached to all the creation which is under Heaven; of which I, Paul became a minister.

Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which is the Church:
Col 1:25 of which I became a minister, according to the stewardship of God which was given to me for you, to fulfil the Word of GOD;
Col 1:26 the mystery which has been hid from Ages, and from generations, but now was manifested to His Saints:
Col 1:27 to whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Col 1:28 whom we preach, admonishing every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
Col 1:29 For which I also labour, striving according to His working, which working in me in power.
Col 2:1 For I wish you to know how great conflict I have for you, and [for] them at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Col 2:2 that their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love,
        and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the full knowledge of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Col 2:3 in whom are hid all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge;
Col 2:4 and this I say, lest not any may deceive you with enticing words.
Col 2:5 For even if I am absent in the flesh, but I am with you in the spirit,
        rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith into Christ.
Col 2:6 As ye therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in Him:
Col 2:7 have been rooted and being built up in Him, and being confirmed in the faith,
        as ye were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,
        after the elements of the World, and not after Christ.
Col 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Col 2:10 And ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power:
Col 2:11 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:
Col 2:12 buried with Him in baptism, in which also ye are raised with Him through the faith,
        of the working of God, who was raised Him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
        has He made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Col 2:14 having blotted out the hand-writing of decrees that was against us, which was adverse to us,
        and has taken it out of the middle, having nailed it to the cross;
Col 2:15 [and] having put off principalities and authorities, He made a show of them openly, having triumphed over them in it.
Col 2:16 Therefore let not someone judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of Festival or New Moon or Sabbaths:
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of the coming [things]; but the body of Christ.
Col 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward, willing in humility and worship of Angels,
        intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly being puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
Col 2:19 and not holding the head, from which all the body by joints and bands being supplied,
        and being knit together, increases with the increase of God.
Col 2:20
        If therefore ye died with Christ from the elements of the World,
        why, as though living in the World, are ye subjected to decrees,
Col 2:21 (Thou may not touch; Thou may not taste; Thou may not handle;
Col 2:22 which all are to corruption with the using);
        according to the commandments and doctrines of men? [Isa 29:13]
Col 2:23 Which things are indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility,
        and severity to the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Col 3:1 If ye then were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting upon [the] right [hand] of God.
Col 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on things on the Earth.
Col 3:3 For ye died, and your life has been hid with Christ in God.
Col 3:4 When Christ, [who is] our life, may be appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the Earth;
        fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil lust, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Col 3:6 for which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience:
Col 3:7 in which ye also walked formerly, when ye lived with them.
Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth.
Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Col 3:10 and have put on the new [man], which being renewed in full knowledge after the image of Him that created him:
Col 3:11 where there is neither Greek{gentile} nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bondman [nor] free: but all [things] in all with Christ.
Col 3:12
        Put on therefore, as the elects of God, Holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, endurance;
Col 3:13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any may have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also ye.
Col 3:14 But above all these [things put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and become ye thankful.
Col 3:16 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 heart to the Lord.
Col 3:17 And anything whatever ye may do in word or work, [do] all in name of Lord Jesus, giving thanks to the God and Father through Him.
Col 3:18
        Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Col 3:19 Husbands, love the wives, and be not bitter against them.
Col 3:20 Children, obey the parents in all [things]: for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Col 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.
Col 3:22 Servants, obey in all [things] your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
Col 3:23
        And anything whatever ye may do, do [it from your] soul, as to the Lord, and not to men;
Col 3:24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Col 3:25 But he who doing wrong, shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons{favouritism}.
Col 4:1 Lords, give to your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Lord in Heavens.

Col 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watching in it in thanksgiving;
Col 4:3 at the same time praying also for us, that God may open to us a door of utterance,
        to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also have been bound:
Col 4:4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Col 4:5
        Walk in wisdom towards them that are outsiders, redeeming the time.
Col 4:6 Let your speech [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, to know how ye ought to answer every one.

Col 4:7 All things about me shall Tychicus declare to you, [who is] a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:
Col 4:8 whom I sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know your affairs, and he may comfort your hearts;
Col 4:9 with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is [one] of you. They shall make known to you all [things] which [are done] here.
Col 4:10 Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, salutes you;
        and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye received Commandments: if he should come to you, receive him).
Col 4:11 And Jesus, who being called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only [are my] fellow-workers to the Kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.
Col 4:12 Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you,
        always striving for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the desires of God.
Col 4:13 For I bear testimony to him, that he has a great zeal for you, and them [that are] in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Col 4:14
        Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, salutes you.
Col 4:15 Salute the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the Church which is in his house.
Col 4:16 And when the letter may be read among you, cause that it may be read also in the Church of the Laodiceans;
        and that ye also may read the [letter] from Laodicea.
Col 4:17 And say to Archippus, take heed to the ministry which Thou have received in the Lord, that Thou may fulfil it.
Col 4:18
        The greeting by my hand Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen!

1Th 1:1 [Scroll 42 First Epistle to the Thessalonians].
        Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the Church of the Thessalonians,
        in God [the] Father and Lord Jesus Christ:
        Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

1Th 1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
1Th 1:3 constantly remembering your work of faith, and labour of love,
        and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of GOD and our Father;
1Th 1:4 knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.
1Th 1:5 For our Gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit,
        and in much full assurance; as ye have known what manner of men we were among you for your sakes.
1Th 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of [the] Holy Spirit:
1Th 1:7 so that ye were examples to all that believing, in Macedonia and Achaia.
1Th 1:8 For from you sounded out the word of the LORD not only in Macedonia and Achaia,
        but also in every place your faith to God has gone forth; so that we to have no need to speak anything.
1Th 1:9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entrance we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God;
1Th 1:10 and to wait for His Son from the Heavens, whom He raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivering us from the wrath that is coming.

1Th 2:1 For yourselves, brethren, have known our entrance to you, that it has been not in vain:
1Th 2:2 but having even suffered before, and having been mistreated, as ye have known, at Philippi,
        we were bold in our God to speak to you the Gospel of God with much contention.
1Th 2:3 For our exhortation [was] not from deceit, nor from impurity, nor in guile;
1Th 2:4 but as we were approved by God to be entrusted with the Gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proving our hearts.
1Th 2:5 For at no time did we come with flattering words, as ye have known, nor a cloak of covetousness; God [is] witness:
1Th 2:6 nor from men sought we glory, neither from you, nor [yet] from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ's apostles.
1Th 2:7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children.
1Th 2:8
        So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted to you,
        not the Gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were beloved to us.
1Th 2:9
        For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: for labouring night and day,
        because we would not be overloaded to any of you, we preached to you the Gospel of God.
1Th 2:10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily, and justly, and blamelessly we were to you, those that believing.

1Th 2:11 Even as ye have known how we every one of you (as a father [for] his children) we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying,
1Th 2:12 that ye would walk worthy of God, who calling you into His Kingdom and glory.
1Th 2:13 Therefore we also constantly gives thanks [to] God, because, when ye received the Word of GOD which ye heard from us,
        ye accepted [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is truly, the Word of GOD, which also works in you that believing.
1Th 2:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the Churches of God which being in Judea in Christ Jesus:
        for ye also have suffered these things by your own countrymen, even as they [have] by the Jews:
1Th 2:15 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:
1Th 2:16 forbidding us to speak to the gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath came upon them to [the] end.
1Th 2:17
        But we, brethren, being taken from you for an hour{short time} in presence, not in heart,
        were diligent the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
1Th 2:18 Therefore we would have to come to you, I indeed: Paul, once and twice; but Satan hindered us.
1Th 2:19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting?
        [Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
1Th 2:20 For ye are our glory and joy.

1Th 3:1 Therefore, when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
1Th 3:2 And sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God,
        and our fellow-worker in the Gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
1Th 3:3 that no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves have known that we are appointed to it.
1Th 3:4 For also, when we were with you, we told you before that we should be afflicted; even as it came to pass, and ye have known.
1Th 3:5 Therefore, I also could no longer forbearing, I sent to know your faith,
        lest the tempter may have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
1Th 3:6 But now when Timothy came from you to us, and preach us good tidings of your faith and love,
        and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, even as we also [to see] you.
1Th 3:7
        Therefore, brethren, by your faith we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress:
1Th 3:8 for now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord;
1Th 3:9 for what thanksgiving can we recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;
1Th 3:10 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
1Th 3:11 Now God Himself and our Father, and may our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
1Th 3:12 And may the Lord make you to increase and abound in love to one another and to all, even as we [do] to you:
1Th 3:13 to the end He may establish your hearts blameless in Holiness before God,
        even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His Saints.

1Th 4:1 Finally then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort [you] in Lord Jesus,
        that as ye received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, that ye may abound more.
1Th 4:2 For ye have known what Commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
1Th 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication.
1Th 4:4 [That] each one of you to know to procure his vessel in sanctification and honour;
1Th 4:5 Not in the passion of lust, even as the gentiles who know not God:
1Th 4:6 that no one go beyond and defraud his brother in this matter: because the Lord [is] the avenger of all such,
        as we also forewarned and testified.
1Th 4:7 For God has not called us to uncleanness, but to sanctification.
1Th 4:8 He therefore that despising, despises not man, but God, who has also given to us His Holy Spirit.
1Th 4:9
        But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
1Th 4:10 For also ye do it towards all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye abound more;
1Th 4:11 and ye to aim to be quiet, and to do [your] own [things], and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
1Th 4:12 That ye should walk honestly towards them that are outsiders, and [that] ye may have need of nothing.

1Th 4:13 Now I will not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
         concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who having no hope.
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose up, so also them who having fallen asleep through Jesus shall God bring with Him.
1Th 4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the LORD,
        that we who are alive [and] remain to the coming of the Lord may not precede them who are asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout,
        with a voice of an Archangel, and with the shofar of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 then we who are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we always be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Therefore, comfort one another with these words.

1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write to you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves have known perfectly that the Day of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they may say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them,
        as pang upon pregnant woman; and they should not escape.
1Th 5:4
        But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as thieves.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all sons of Light, and sons of [the] day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 So then, we should not sleep as also the others; but we should watch and should be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that being drunken, are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8 But we, being of the day, should be sober,
        having put on the Breast-plate of Faith and Love; and for a Helmet, the Hope of Salvation. [Isa 59:17]
1Th 5:9 For God not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 who died for us, that, whether we may wake or sleep, we may live together with Him.
1Th 5:11 Therefore, comfort one another, and build up one another, as also ye do.

1Th 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you,
        and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
1Th 5:13 And to deem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
1Th 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, admonish them that are disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak, be patient towards all.
1Th 5:15 See that none render evil for evil to anyone; but ye always pursue that which is good, both among one another, and to all.
1Th 5:16 Rejoice always.
1Th 5:17 Pray constantly.
1Th 5:18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1Th 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.
1Th 5:20 Despise not prophesies.
1Th 5:21 Prove all [things]; hold fast that which is good.
1Th 5:22 Abstain from every form of evil.
1Th 5:23 And may the God of Peace Himself sanctify you wholly;
        and your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blamelessly to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Th 5:24 Faithful [is] He who calling you, who also shall do.

1Th 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.
1Th 5:26 Salute all the brethren with a Holy kiss.
1Th 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that the letter be read to all the Holy brethren.
1Th 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen!

2Th 1:1 [Scroll 43 Second Epistle to the Thessalonians].
        Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the Church of the Thessalonians,
        in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 1:2 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

2Th 1:3 We are bound to give thanks [to] God always for you, brethren, as it is worthy,
        because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all to one another;
2Th 1:4 So that we ourselves boast in you in the Churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear:
2Th 1:5 [which is] an example of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
2Th 1:6 if indeed [it is] a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
2Th 1:7 and to you who being troubled, relief with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from Heaven with the Angels of His power,
2Th 1:8 in a flame of fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obeying not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th 1:9 who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power;
2Th 1:10 when He should come to be glorified in His Saints, and to be admired by all them that believing,
        (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2Th 1:11
        Therefore also we pray always for you, that our God may [count] you worthy of [this] calling,
        and may fulfil all the good pleasure of [His] goodness, and the work of faith with power:
2Th 1:12 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 Lord, Jesus Christ.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering to Him.
2Th 2:2 That ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that has presented: the Day of Christ.
2Th 2:3 <Let not anyone deceived you in any way, for it should not come unless the apostasy should come first>, and the <Man of Sin> is revealed, the <Son of Perdition>.
2Th 2:4 Who opposes and exalting himself above all that being called God, or object of worship; so that he as God sits in the Sanctuary of God, showing himself that he is GOD.
2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that yet being with you, I told these [things] to you?
2Th 2:6 And now ye have known what withholds that he might be revealed in his time.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness does already work: only he who restraining now until it be taken out of the middle.
2Th 2:8 And then shall the <Lawless> be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the appearing of His coming: [Isa 11:4 Rev 19:15-21]
2Th 2:9 [even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders, [Rev 13:11-14 Rev 19:20]
2Th 2:10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in <them that are perishing>;
        <because they received not the love of the truth>, for them to be saved.
2Th 2:11 And because of this God shall send them strong deceit, for them to believe the lie:
2Th 2:12 that they all may be condemned who having believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2Th 2:13
        But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord,
        because God has from [the] beginning chosen you to Salvation, in sanctification of [the] Spirit, and faith of [the] truth:
2Th 2:14 to which He called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 2:15 So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our letter.
2Th 2:16
        Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, who having loved us,
        and having given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope in grace,
2Th 2:17 May He comfort your hearts, and may He establish you in every good word and work.

2Th 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the LORD may run and may be glorified, even as [it is] with you;
2Th 3:2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not the faith.
2Th 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and shall keep [you] from the Evil.
2Th 3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and shall do the things which we command you.
2Th 3:5 And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ{Messiah}.

2Th 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
        that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walking disorderly,
        and not after the tradition which he received from us.
2Th 3:7 For yourselves have known how ye ought to follow us:
        for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
2Th 3:8 neither did we eat anyone's bread freely;
        but wrought with labour and toil night and day,
        that we might not be overloaded to any of you:
2Th 3:9 not because we have no authority,
        but to make ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to follow us.
2Th 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you,
        that if anyone will not work, neither let him eat.
2Th 3:11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you disorderly,
        working not at all, but are busy-bodies.
2Th 3:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ,
        that with quietness they working, and may eat their own bread.

2Th 3:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.
2Th 3:14 But if anyone obeys not our word by the letter,
        note that man, and associate not with him, that he may be ashamed.
2Th 3:15 Yet deem him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
2Th 3:16 Now the Lord of Peace Himself may give you peace always surely. The Lord [be] with you all.

2Th 3:17 The greeting of Paul by my hand, which is the sign in every letter: so I write.
2Th 3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen!

Heb 1:1 [Scroll 44 Epistle to the Hebrews].
        In many parts and in many ways God having spoken in past time to the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 in these Last Days He spoke to us by [His] Son,
        whom He has appointed heir of all [things], by whom also He made the Ages{Worlds};
Heb 1:3 who being the brightness of the glory, and the express image of His substance, and upholding all [things] by the saying of His power,
        He having by Himself made purification of our sins, sat down on [the] right [hand] of the Majesty on high;
Heb 1:4 having become so much better than the Angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.
Heb 1:5
        For to which of the Angels said He at any time,
        Thou are My Son, today have I begotten Thee? [Psa 2:7]
        And again, I shall be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son? [2Sa 7:14]
Heb 1:6 But when again, He brings in the first-born into the World,
        He says, And let all the Angels of GOD worship Him. [Psa 97:7]
Heb 1:7 And of the Angels He says,
        Who making His Angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire. [Psa 104:4]
Heb 1:8 But to the Son, [He says],
        Thy throne, GOD, [is] forever and ever:
        a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of Thy Kingdom. [Psa 45:6]
Heb 1:9 Thou loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness;
        therefore GOD Thy God, has anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. [Psa 45:7]
Heb 1:10 And Thou, LORD, in [the] beginning have laid the foundation of the Earth, and the Heavens are the works of Thy hands. [Psa 102:25]
Heb 1:11 They shall perish; but Thou remain: and they all shall become old as does a garment; [Psa 102:26]
Heb 1:12 and as a vesture shall Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but Thou are the same, and Thy years shall not fail. [Psa 102:26-27]
Heb 1:13 But to which of the Angels He has said at any time, Sit upon My right [hand],
         until I make Thy enemies Thy stool of Thy feet? [Psa 110:1]
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them being about to inherit Salvation?
Heb 2:1
        Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest we should let [them] slip.
Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken by Angels became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;
Heb 2:3 how shall we escape, [if] having neglected so great Salvation;
        which at the first began to be spoken through the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard Him;
Heb 2:4 God also bearing [them] testimony, both with signs and wonders, and with diverse miracles, and gifts of [the] Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
Heb 2:5
        For to the Angels He has not put in subjection the World to come, concerning which we speak.
Heb 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying,
        What is man, that Thou are mindful of Him?
        Or the Son of Man, that Thou visit Him? [Psa 8:4]
Heb 2:7 Thou made Him a little lower than the Angels;
        Thou crowned Him with glory and honour, [Psa 8:5]
        and did set Him over the works of Thy hands: [Psa 8:6]
Heb 2:8 Thou have put all [things] in subjection under His feet.
        For in that He put all in subjection under Him,
        He left nothing [that is] not made subject to Him.
        But now we see not yet all [things] subjected to Him. [Psa 8:6]
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who having been made a little lower than the Angels for the suffering of death,
        crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God; for all might taste death.
Heb 2:10 For it became Him, for whom [are] all [things], and through whom [are] all [things], in bringing many sons to glory,
        to make the Author of their Salvation through sufferings perfect.
Heb 2:11
        For both He who sanctifying, and they who being sanctified, [are] all of One: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Heb 2:12 saying, I shall declare Thy name to My brethren, in the middle of the Congregation shall I sing praise to Thee. [Psa 22:22]
Heb 2:13 And again, I shall be trusting in Him. [2Sa 22:3]
         And again, Behold, I, and the children which GOD gave Me. [Isa 8:18]
Heb 2:14 Since then the children has partaken of flesh and blood, He also Himself similarly took part of the same;
        that through death He might destroy him that having the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 and might deliver those, who, through fear of death, were all their life-time subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16
        For truly He takes not hold of Angels, but of the seed of Abraham He takes hold.
Heb 2:17 Whence in all [things] it behoved Him to be made like to the brethren;
        that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things [pertaining] to God,
        to make reconciliation{atonement} for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to help them that are tempted.

Heb 3:1 Hence, Holy brethren, partakers of the Heavenly calling,
        consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Heb 3:2 who being faithful to Him that appointed Him, as also Moses [was faithful] in all his house. [Num 12:7]
Heb 3:3 For this [man] was worthy of more glory than Moses,
        inasmuch as He who having built the house, has more honour than the house.
Heb 3:4 For every house is built by some [man]; but He who having built all [things is] God.
Heb 3:5 And Moses truly [was] faithful in all His house,
        as a servant, for a testimony of those of those [things which] shall be being spoken.
Heb 3:6
        But Christ as a Son over His own house: whose house are we,
        if indeed we hold fast the confidence, and the rejoicing of the hope may hold firm to the end.
Heb 3:7
        Therefore as the Holy Spirit says,
        Today, if ye may hear His voice, [Psa 95:7]
Heb 3:8 ye may harden your hearts, as in the provocation{Meribah},
        as [in] the day of temptation{Massah} in the wilderness: [Psa 95:8]
Heb 3:9 where your fathers tempted Me, proved Me,
        and saw My works forty years. [Psa 95:9-10]
Heb 3:10 Therefore I was grieved with that generation,
        and said, They are always gone astray in [their] heart;
        and they have not known My ways. [Psa 95:10]
Heb 3:11 So I swore in My wrath, if they shall enter into My rest. [Psa 95:11]
Heb 3:12
        Take heed, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart,
        of unbelief, in departing from the Living God.
Heb 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called today;
        lest any of you may be hardened through the deceitfulness of the sin.
Heb 3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ,
        if indeed we hold the beginning of our confidence may hold firm to the end.
Heb 3:15
        While it is said,
        Today, if ye may hear His voice, ye may harden your hearts, as in the provocation{Meribah}. [Psa 95:7-8]
Heb 3:16 For some who having heard provoked, but not all those who having come out of Egypt by Moses.
Heb 3:17 But with whom was He grieved forty years?
        [Was it] not with them that having sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
Heb 3:18
        And to whom did He swear that they shall not to enter into His rest, [Psa 95:11]
        except to them that having disobeyed?
Heb 3:19 And we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Heb 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being left [us] of entering into His rest,
        any of you may seem to come short of it.
Heb 4:2 For we also are having the Gospel preached, even as also they: but the word which they heard did not profit them,
        not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].
Heb 4:3 For we which having believed do enter into that rest, as He has said,
        so I swore in My wrath, if they shall enter into My rest:
        although the works were finished from the foundation of the World. [Psa 95:11]
Heb 4:4 For He has said in a certain place of the seventh [day] thus,
        And GOD rested in the seventh day from all His works. [Gen 2:2]
Heb 4:5 And in this [place] again, if they shall enter into My rest. [Psa 95:11]
Heb 4:6 Since therefore it is left that some must enter into it,
        and they to whom it was first preached the Gospel entered not because of unbelief:
Heb 4:7 again, He defines a certain day, today, saying in David, after so long a time; as it is said,
        Today, if ye may hear His voice, ye may harden your hearts. [Psa 95:7-8]
Heb 4:8 For if Joshua gave them rest, then He would not after these have spoken of another day.
Heb 4:9 Therefore there is left a Sabbath-rest to the people of GOD.
Heb 4:10 For he who having entered into His rest also rested himself from his works, as God [did] from His own. [Psa 95:11]
Heb 4:11 We should be diligent therefore to enter into that rest, lest anyone may fall after the same example of unbelief.
Heb 4:12
        For the Word of GOD [is] living, and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
        piercing even to [the] dividing asunder of both soul and spirit, both of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Heb 4:13 There is neither any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all [things are] naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Heb 4:14 Having therefore a Great High Priest, that has passed into the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
Heb 4:15 For we have not a High Priest, unable to sympathise with our infirmities;
but who was in all [things] having been tried as [we are], [yet] without sin.
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help in time of need.
Heb 5:1 For every High Priest being taken from among men, is ordained for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Heb 5:2 who can have compassion to those who being ignorant, and being astray; for that he himself also is surrounded with infirmity.
Heb 5:3 And by reason of this he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Heb 5:4 And no man takes the honour to himself, but he who being called by God, and even as [was] Aaron:
Heb 5:5 so also the Christ{Messiah} glorified not Himself to be made a High Priest; but He who having spoken to Him,
        Thou are My Son, today have I begotten Thee. [Psa 2:7]
Heb 5:6 As He says also in another [place],
        Thou [are] a Priest forever after the order of Melchisedek. [Psa 110:4]
Heb 5:7 Who in the days of His flesh, He having offered up both prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him,
        that was able to save Him from death, and was heard, in that [He godly] feared;
Heb 5:8 although He being a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered;
Heb 5:9 and being made perfect, He became to all those that obeying Him the cause of everlasting Salvation;
Heb 5:10 called by God a High Priest after the order of Melchisedek.

Heb 5:11 Of whom we have many [things] to say, and hard to explain, since ye have become dull of hearing.
Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need of one to teach you again which [are] the first elements of the Words of God;
        and have become such as having need of milk, and not of strong food.
Heb 5:13 For every one that uses milk, [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is an infant.
Heb 5:14 But strong food is to them that are matured, those who by reason of use having their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Heb 6:1 Therefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ{Messiah}, let us go on to perfection;
        not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards GOD,
Heb 6:2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment.
Heb 6:3 And this shall we do, if indeed God permit.
Heb 6:4 For [it is] impossible for those who have been once enlightened, and having tasted the Heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of [the] Holy Spirit.
Heb 6:5 And they having tasted the good saying of God, and the powers of the Age{World} to come,
Heb 6:6 and they having fallen away, to renew [them] again to repentance;
        they crucifying to themselves the Son of God afresh, and putting [Him] to public shame.
Heb 6:7
        For the Earth which drinks in the rain that coming often upon it, and bringing forth herbage fit for them by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God:
Heb 6:8 but that which bears thorns and briers [is] reprobated, and [is] near to cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.
Heb 6:9
        But beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompanying Salvation, though we thus speak.
Heb 6:10 For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye showed to His name,
        in that ye having served to the Saints, and [still] serving.
Heb 6:11 And we desire every one of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end.
Heb 6:12
        That ye may not become dull, but followers of them who through faith and endurance inheriting the promises.
Heb 6:13 For when GOD made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself, [Gen 22:16]
Heb 6:14 saying, Surely, blessing I shall bless Thee, and multiplying I shall multiply Thee. [Gen 22:17]
Heb 6:15 And so, having patiently endured, He obtained the promise.
Heb 6:16 For men truly swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation [is] to them an end of all contradiction.
Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, interposed [it] by an oath:
Heb 6:18 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:
Heb 6:19 which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil;
Heb 6:20 where the forerunner has for us entered, <Jesus, made a High Priest forever after the order of Melchisedek>. [Psa 110:4]
Heb 7:1
        For this Melchisedek, King of Salem, Priest of God the Most High,
        who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and having blessed him; [Gen 14:17-19]
Heb 7:2 to whom also Abraham gave tithes of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness,
        and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of Peace; [Gen 14:20]
Heb 7:3 fatherless, motherless, descentless, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life;
        but made like to the Son of God; stays a priest continually.
Heb 7:4 Now consider how great this man [was], to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tithe of the spoils.
Heb 7:5 And truly they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood,
        have a Commandment to take tithes from the people according to the Law,
        that is, from their brethren, although they come from the loins of Abraham:
Heb 7:6 but he whose descent being not counted from them has received tithes from Abraham,
        and has blessed him that having the promises.
Heb 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed by the better.
Heb 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receives them], of whom it being testified that he lives.
Heb 7:9 And as I may say, Levi also, who receiving tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.
Heb 7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when he met Melchisedek.
Heb 7:11 If therefore perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for upon it the people had been legislated);
        what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedek,
        and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the Law.
Heb 7:13 For He of whom these [things] are said has partaken of another tribe, of which no one has given attendance at the Altar.
Heb 7:14 For [it is] evident that our Lord has sprung from Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
Heb 7:15 And it is yet far more evident: that if after the similitude of Melchisedek there arises another priest,
Heb 7:16 who has become, not after a law of fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Heb 7:17 For He testifies,
        Thou [are] a Priest forever after the order of Melchisedek. [Psa 110:4]
Heb 7:18 For there is truly a nullifying of the preceding Commandment on account of its weakness and unprofitableness.
Heb 7:19 For the Law made nothing perfect, but the introduction of a better hope [did]; by which we draw near to God.
Heb 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath; (for those indeed are having been made priests without an oath);
Heb 7:21 but He with an oath, through Him that saying to Him,
        The LORD has sworn, and shall not regret,
        Thou [are] a Priest forever after the order of Melchisedek: [Psa 110:4]
Heb 7:22 by so much of a better Covenant has become a surety made [by] Jesus.
Heb 7:23 And indeed there are having been many priests, because they were being hindered to continue by reason of death:
Heb 7:24 but He, because of His abiding forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
Heb 7:25 Hence He is able also to save them to the [end] completely that come to God through Him, seeing He always living to make intercession for them.
Heb 7:26 For such a High Priest became us, [who is] Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the Heavens;
Heb 7:27 who needs 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.
Heb 7:28 For the Law makes men High Priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath,
        which was after the Law, [makes] the Son, who has been perfected forever.
Heb 8:1
        Now of the [things] being spoken: We have such a High Priest,
        who is set on [the] right [hand] of the throne of the Majesty in the Heavens;
Heb 8:2 a minister of the Holies, and of the true Tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Heb 8:3 For every High Priest is ordained to offer both gifts and sacrifices:
        hence [it is] necessity that this [Man] to have somewhat which He may offer.
Heb 8:4 For if He were on Earth was He not be a priest, there being the priests that offer according to the Law, the gifts,
Heb 8:5 who serve to the example and shadow of Heavenly things,
        as Moses was divinely instructed when he being about to make the Tabernacle:
        And see, (says He) Thou should make all according to the pattern shown to Thee in the Mount. [Exo 25:40]
Heb 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent service, by how much also He is the mediator of a better Covenant,
        which was legislated upon better promises.
Heb 8:7 For if that First [Covenant] were faultless, then would no place have been sought for the second [Covenant].
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, He says,
        Behold, the days come, says the LORD,
        when I shall make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah: [Jer 31:32]
Heb 8:9 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 neglected them, says the LORD. [Jer 31:32]
Heb 8:10 For this [is] the Covenant that I shall make with the House of Israel after those days, says the LORD;
        giving My Laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts:
        and I shall be to them GOD, and they shall be to Me a people: [Jer 31:33]
Heb 8:11 and they shall not teach every [man] his neighbour, and every [man] his brother,
        saying, Know the LORD: for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest of them. [Jer 31:34]
Heb 8:12 For I shall be merciful to their unrighteousness,
        and their sins and their iniquities might I remember no more. [Jer 31:34]
Heb 8:13 In that He said, A New [Covenant], He has made the first old.
        Now that which decays and growing old [is] near to vanish away.
Heb 9:1
        Then truly the First [Covenant] had also ordinances of [divine] service, and a worldly Holy [place].
Heb 9:2 For there was a Tabernacle made; the first, in which [was] the lampstand, and the table, and the show-bread; which is called the Holy [place].
Heb 9:3 And after the second veil, the Tabernacle which being called the Holy of Holies;
Heb 9:4 having a golden censer, and the Ark of the Covenant overlaid around with gold,
        in which [was] the golden pot that having manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the Covenant;
Heb 9:5 and far above it [the] cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; is of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Heb 9:6 Now when these [things] were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first Tabernacle, accomplishing the services:
Heb 9:7 but into the second [went] the High Priest alone once every year, not without blood,
        which He offers for Himself, and [for] the errors of the people:
Heb 9:8 the Holy Spirit this signifying, [that the] way into the Holies not yet has been manifested,
        while the first Tabernacle was yet standing:
Heb 9:9 which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered,
        which are not able, in regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving;
Heb 9:10 [Which stood] only in foods and drinks, and diverse bathings, and fleshly ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation.
Heb 9:11 But Christ having come a High Priest of the coming good things, by a greater and more perfect Tabernacle,
        not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;
Heb 9:12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood;
        He entered in once into the Holies, having obtained everlasting redemption [for us].
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 how much more [is] the blood of Christ, who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God,
        shall cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God?
Heb 9:15 And because of this He is the mediator of the New Covenant, that by means of death,
        for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the First Covenant,
        they who are called may receive the promise of everlasting inheritance.
Heb 9:16 For where a Covenant{Testament} [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the Testator.
Heb 9:17 For a Covenant{Testament} [is] firm over [those] dead, since it is never in force when the Testator lives.
Heb 9:18 Whence even the First was not dedicated without blood.
Heb 9:19 For every Commandment having been spoken, according to Law, by Moses, to all the people,
        he having taken the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled it both: the Book and all the people,
Heb 9:20 saying, This [is] the blood of the Covenant which God has enjoined to you. [Exo 24:8]
Heb 9:21 And he likewise sprinkled both the Tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood.
Heb 9:22 And almost all [things] are by the Law cleansed with blood; and without blood-shedding is no forgiveness.

Heb 9:23 [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.
Heb 9:24 For Christ has not entered into the Holies made with hands, [which are] antitypes of the true;
        but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Heb 9:25 nor yet that He should offer Himself often, as the High Priest enters into the Holies every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 for then must He often have suffered since the foundation of the World:
        but now once in the end of the Ages{Worlds} has He appeared for nullifying sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this judgment:
Heb 9:28 so Christ was once offered to bear [the] sins of many; and to them without sin that waiting for Him He shall appear the second [time] to Salvation.
Heb 10:1
        For the Law having a shadow of good [things] to come, [and] not the same image of the things,
        can never with those sacrifices which they offer year by year,
        continually make the comers to [them] perfect.
Heb 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to being offered?
        Because of those who worshipping, once having been cleansed, to have no more conscience of sins.
Heb 10:3 But in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every year.
Heb 10:4 For [it is] impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:5 Therefore, when He comes into the World, He says,
        Sacrifice and offering Thou would not, but a body have Thou prepared Me. [Psa 40:6]
Heb 10:6 In burnt-offerings and [sacrifices] for sin Thou have had no pleasure. [Psa 40:6]
Heb 10:7 Then I said, Behold, I come, (in the roll of the Book it has been written concerning Me), to do Thy will, God. [Psa 40:7-8]
Heb 10:8 Previously, saying, Sacrifice and offering and burnt-offerings and [offering] for sin,
        Thou would not, neither had pleasure [in them]; which are offered by the Law.
Heb 10:9 Then He has said, Behold, I come, to do Thy will, God. [Psa 40:7-8]
         He takes away the first, that He may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once.
Heb 10:11 And every priest has stood daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Heb 10:12 but this One, after He having offered one sacrifice for sins continually, sat down on [the] right [hand] of God;
Heb 10:13 henceforth waiting until His enemies should be placed [as] stool of His feet.
Heb 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected continually them that are being sanctified.
Heb 10:15 But the Holy Spirit also testifies to us: for after that He has said before,
Heb 10:16 this [is] the Covenant that I shall make with them after those days, says the LORD,
        giving My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds shall I write them {reverse}; [Jer 31:33]
Heb 10:17 and their sins and iniquities I shall remember no more. [Jer 31:34]
Heb 10:18 Now where forgiveness of these [is], [there is] no more offering for sin.
Heb 10:19
        Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the Holies by the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20 which He has consecrated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is, His flesh;
Heb 10:21 and [having] a Great Priest over the House of God.
Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
        having sprinkled the hearts from an evil conscience, and our bodies having bathed with pure water.
Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of [our] hope without wavering; for He [is] faithful that promised:
Heb 10:24 and let us consider one another to excite to love and to good works:
Heb 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as the custom of some [is];
        but exhorting [one another]: and so much more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:26 For [if] we sinning wilfully after we have received the full knowledge of the truth, there is left no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 but a certain fearful apprehension of judgment and fervour of fire, which about to devour the adversaries.
Heb 10:28 Anyone who having rejected [the] Law of Moses, dies without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Heb 10:29 of how much worse punishment, suppose ye, shall he be worthy,
        who having trampled down the Son of God,
        and has deemed the Blood of the Covenant by which he was sanctified,
        an unholy thing, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?

Heb 10:30 For we have known Him that has said,
        Vengeance [is] Mine, I shall recompense, says the LORD. [Deu 32:35]
        And again,
        The LORD shall judge His people. [Deu 32:36]
Heb 10:31 [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
Heb 10:32 But remind the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
Heb 10:33 partly, while ye were being a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while ye having become partners of them that being so used.
Heb 10:34 For also with my bonds ye sympathised, and took with joy the ravening of your goods,
          knowing that ye to have for yourselves in Heavens a better and abiding possession.
Heb 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense.
Heb 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
Heb 10:37 For yet a very, very little while,
        and He who coming shall come,
        and shall not tarry.
Heb 10:38 But the just shall live by faith: [Hab 2:4]
        but if he may draw back,
        My soul have no pleasure in him.
Heb 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but faith to preservation of [the] soul.

Heb 11:1 Now faith is [the] substance [of things] being hoped [for], a proof of things not being seen.
Heb 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Heb 11:3
         [By] faith we understand that the Ages{Worlds} were framed by the saying of God, so that things which are seen not have to come of things which being seen.
Heb 11:4 [By] faith Abel offered to GOD a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he was testified to be righteous, GOD testifying of his gifts: and by it He being dead yet speaks. [Gen 4:2-5]
Heb 11:5 [By] faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and was not found, because GOD translated him: for before his translation he has been testified, that he pleased GOD. [Gen 5:24]
Heb 11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please Him: for he who coming to GOD must believe that He is, and [that] He becomes a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Heb 11:7 [By] faith Noah, having been divinely warned of things not being seen as yet, having feared, he prepared an ark to the Salvation of his House; by which he condemned the World, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. [Gen 6:5-22]
Heb 11:8 [By] faith Abraham obeyed, [when he] being called to remove into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he went out not knowing where he goes. [Gen 12:1-9]
Heb 11:9 [By] faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as [in] a foreign country, dwelling in Tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the joint-heirs of the same promise:
Heb 11:10 for he looked for a city which having foundations, whose builder and maker [is] GOD.
Heb 11:11
         [By] faith also Sarah herself received power for conception of seed, and was delivered [of a child] when she was past age, because she deemed him faithful who having promised. [Gen 18:1-15]
Heb 11:12 Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of the Heaven in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea-shore innumerable. [Gen 15:5 Gen 22:17]
Heb 11:13 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 are strangers and pilgrims on the Earth.

Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a fatherland.
Heb 11:15 And if, truly, they were mindful of that [country] from where they came, they might have had opportunity to return.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better [country], that is, a Heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.
Heb 11:17 [By] faith Abraham, [when he] being tried, has offered up Isaac: and he who having received the promises offered up his only-begotten,
Heb 11:18 of whom it was said, that in Isaac shall Thy seed be called: [Gen 21:12]
Heb 11:19 accounting that God [was] able to raise him even from the dead; whence also he received him in a figure.
Heb 11:20
          [By] faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. [Gen 27:1-40]
Heb 11:21 [By] faith Jacob, [when he] dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshiped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff. [Gen 47:31]
Heb 11:22 [By] faith Joseph, [when he] dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel; and gave Commandment concerning his bones. [Gen 50:24-26]
Heb 11:23 [By] faith Moses, [when he] having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw [he was] a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. [Exo 2:1-8]
Heb 11:24 [By] faith Moses, [when he] having become great, refused to be called the son of [the] daughter of Pharaoh; [Exo 2:8-15]
Heb 11:25
        choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of GOD, than to have temporary the pleasures of sin;
Heb 11:26 having deemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense.
Heb 11:27
          [By] faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible.
Heb 11:28 [By] faith he has kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroying the first-borns might touch them. [Exo 12:21-28]
Heb 11:29 [By] faith they passed over the Red Sea as by dry [land]: which the Egyptians having received a trial were drowned. [Exo 14:15-23]
Heb 11:30 [By] faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they having been went around seven days. [Jos 6:12-16]
Heb 11:31 [By] faith the whore Rahab perished not with them that having disobeyed, as she having received the spies with peace. [Jos 2:1-11 Jos 6:17]
Heb 11:32
        And what may I say more? For the time would fail me to declare about Gideon, both Barak and Samson, and Jephthah, both David and Samuel, and the prophets:
Heb 11:33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped [the] mouths of lions,
Heb 11:34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were strengthened from weakness, became strong in war, put foreign camps [to] flight.
Heb 11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Heb 11:36 and others received trial of mockings and scourgings, and even bonds and prison:
Heb 11:37 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were murdered with the sword: they wandered around in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; being destitute, being afflicted, being tormented;
Heb 11:38 (of whom the World was not worthy): they wandering in deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the Earth.
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through the faith, received not the promise:
Heb 11:40 God having provided some better [thing] for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Heb 12:1 Therefore, we also, having so great a cloud of witnesses lying around us,
        let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset [us],
        and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of the 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.

Heb 12:3 For consider Him that endured such contradiction by sinners against Himself, lest ye may be wearied and fainting in your souls.
Heb 12:4 Ye did not yet resist to blood, striving against the sin.
Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which has reasoned to you as to sons,
        My son, despise not Thou the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when Thou being reproved by Him: [Pro 3:11]
Heb 12:6 for whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. [Pro 3:12]
Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God is treating you as sons: for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
Heb 12:8 But if ye are without chastisement, of which all have become partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.
Heb 12:9 Thereafter, we have had fathers of our flesh as instructors, and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and shall live?
Heb 12:10 For they truly for a few days chastened [us] according to what seemed good to them; but He who for [our] profiting, that [we] might be partakers of His Holiness.
Heb 12:11 Now all chastening for the present not seems to be of joy, but grievous: yet afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who are exercised by it.
Heb 12:12 Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
Heb 12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned aside; but let it rather be healed.

Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with all, and sanctification, without which no one shall see the Lord:
Heb 12:15 looking diligently, lest any fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up, trouble [you], and by it many may be defiled;
Heb 12:16 lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane [person] as Esau, who for one [morsel] of food sold his birth-right.
Heb 12:17 For ye know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, although having sought it with tears.
Heb 12:18 For ye have not come to [the] Mount that might being touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and to darkness, and hurricane,
Heb 12:19  and a shofar sounded, and the voice of sayings; which they that having heard, entreated that the word should not be added to them;
Heb 12:20 (for they could not endure that which being commanded, even if a beast may touch the Mount, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: [Exo 19:12-13]
Heb 12:21 and so fearful was the appearing, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble).
Heb 12:22
        But ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of Angels,
Heb 12:23 [to the] general assembly and Church of first-borns, who having been registered in Heavens,
        and [to] God the Judge of all, and [to] the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 and [to] Jesus the mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not Him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused Him that divinely warned on Earth,
        much more we, if we turn away from Him that [speaks] from Heavens:
Heb 12:26 whose voice then shook the Earth: but now He has promised, saying,
        Yet once more I shake not the Earth only, but also Heaven. [Hag 2:6]
Heb 12:27 And this [word], Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that being shaken, as of things that are made,
        that those things which cannot being shaken may remain.
Heb 12:28 Therefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, may we have grace,
        by which we may serve GOD acceptably, with reverence and [godly] fear.
Heb 12:29 For our God [is] a consuming fire. [Deu 4:24]

Heb 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.
Heb 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for by this some have entertained Angels unawares.
Heb 13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; [and] them who suffering adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
Heb 13:4 Marriage [is] honourable among all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God shall judge.
Heb 13:5 The manner [of life must be] without covetousness; being content with the present things: for He has said, I might never leave Thee, nor might forsake Thee.
Heb 13:6 So that we may boldly say,
        The LORD [is] my Helper, and I shall not fear what man shall do to me. [Psa 118:6]
Heb 13:7
        Remember those that leading you, who have spoken to you the Word of GOD:
        whose the faith follow, considering the end of [their] behaviour.
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
Heb 13:9 Be not carried about with diverse and strange doctrines: for [it is] a good thing that the heart to be confirmed with grace;
        not with foods, which have not profited them that have been walked in them.
Heb 13:10 We have an Altar, of which they have no right to eat who serve the Tabernacle.
Heb 13:11 For the bodies of those living beings, whose blood is brought into the Holy [place] by the High Priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. [Lev 16:27]
Heb 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
Heb 13:13
        Let us go forth therefore to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
Heb 13:14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Heb 13:15 By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips, confessing to His name.
Heb 13:16 But forget not good-will and communion{sharing}: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Heb 13:17 Obey those that leading you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that shall giving account,
        that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you.
Heb 13:18 Pray for us: for we have trusted that we have a good conscience, in all [things] willing to behave well.
Heb 13:19 But rather I beseech [you] to do this, that I may [more] quickly be restored to you.
Heb 13:20 But the God of Peace, that bringing up from the dead, the great Shepherd of the sheep, in [the] Blood of the Everlasting Covenant, our Lord Jesus.
Heb 13:21 May He make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing in His eyes, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen!

Heb 13:22 Now I beseech you, brethren, endure the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter to you few [words].
Heb 13:23 Know ye, that [our] brother Timothy has been released; with whom, if he may come shortly, I shall see you.
Heb 13:24 Salute all those that leading you, and all the Saints. They of Italy salute you.
Heb 13:25 Grace [be] with you all. Amen!

1Ti 1:1 [Scroll 45 First Epistle to Timothy].
        Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by a command of God our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, [who is] our hope;
1Ti 1:2 to Timothy, my genuine child in faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

1Ti 1:3 As I besought Thee to remain at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that Thou might commanded some that they not to teach otherwise,
1Ti 1:4 neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which twist questions, rather than edifying of God that [is] in faith.
1Ti 1:5 Now the end of the Commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
1Ti 1:6 from which some having erred, have turned aside to vain talk;
1Ti 1:7 desiring to be Law-teachers; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.
1Ti 1:8 But we have known that the Law [is] good, if anyone uses it lawfully;
1Ti 1:9 knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man,
        but for the lawless and disorderly, for the impious and for sinners,
        for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,
1Ti 1:10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjurers,
        and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.

1Ti 1:11 According to the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which I was entrusted.
1Ti 1:12 And I have thanks to Him who having strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, for that He deemed me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
1Ti 1:13 who being before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolent: but I obtained mercy, because being ignorant I did [it] in unbelief:
1Ti 1:14 and the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1Ti 1:15 Faithful [is] the Word, and worthy of all acceptation,
        that Christ Jesus came into the World to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1Ti 1:16 But therefore I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all endurance,
        for a pattern of those about to believe on Him to everlasting life.
1Ti 1:17 Now to the King of Ages, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and the glory forever and ever. Amen!
1Ti 1:18
        This charge I commit to Thee, child Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on Thee, that Thou by them may war a good warfare;
1Ti 1:19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning the faith have made shipwreck:
1Ti 1:20 of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

1Ti 2:1 Therefore I exhort, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] thanksgivings be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 for kings, and [for] all that being in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.
1Ti 2:3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of GOD our Saviour;
1Ti 2:4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth.
1Ti 2:5 For [there is] One GOD, and One mediator between God and men, [the] Man Christ Jesus;
1Ti 2:6 who having given Himself a ransom for all, [as] the testimony for their due times.
1Ti 2:7 For which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not) a teacher of [the] gentiles in faith and truth.
1Ti 2:8 I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up Holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
1Ti 2:9
        Likewise also, that women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety;
        not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array,
1Ti 2:10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
1Ti 2:12 But I allow not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in quietness.
1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. [Gen 2:20-25]
1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman having been deceived, has become in the transgression. [Gen 3:6]
1Ti 2:15 But she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

1Ti 3:1 Faithful [is] the Word: if anyone desire overseership{bishop}, he desire a good work;
1Ti 3:2 the overseer{bishop} then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, discreet, modest, hospitable, able to teach;
1Ti 3:3 not given to wine, no bully, not a profiteer, but gentle; not a brawler, not covetous;
1Ti 3:4 one that rule well his own house, having his children in subjection with all dignity;
1Ti 3:5 (but if anyone has not known how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the Church of God)?
1Ti 3:6 Not a novice, lest being puffed up, he may fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1Ti 3:7 And he must also to have a good testimony of them who are outsiders; lest he may fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
1Ti 3:8
        Likewise [must] deacons [be] honourable, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not a profiteer,
1Ti 3:9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1Ti 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them be serving, being [found] blameless.
1Ti 3:11 Likewise [must] wives [be] honourable, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all [things].
1Ti 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children, and their own houses well.
1Ti 3:13 For they having served well, purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

1Ti 3:14 These [things] I write to Thee, hoping to come to Thee shortly:
1Ti 3:15 but if I may tarry long, that Thou may know how Thou ought to behave thyself in the House of God,
        which is the Church of the Living God, a pillar and base of the truth.
1Ti 3:16
        And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness:
        God was manifested in [the] flesh,
        justified in [the] Spirit,
        seen by Angels,
        preached among [the] nations,
        believed in [the] World,
        taken up in glory.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
        giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons;
1Ti 4:2 in hypocrisy of liars, having cauterized in their own conscience;
1Ti 4:3 forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from foods,
        which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful and them having known the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, being received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 for it is sanctified by the Word of GOD, and prayer.
1Ti 4:6
        These things laying before the brethren, Thou shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ,
        being nourished by the words of the faith and of good doctrine, to which Thou have followed.
1Ti 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] to godliness.
1Ti 4:8 For bodily exercise is profitable for a little: but godliness is profitable to all [things], having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
1Ti 4:9 Faithful [is] the Word, and worthy of all acceptation.
1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and are reproached, because we have hoped in the Living God who is the Saviour of all men, especially of [the] faithful.
1Ti 4:11 These [things] command and teach.
1Ti 4:12
        Let no man despise Thy youth; but be Thou an example of the faithful, in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
1Ti 4:13 Until I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
1Ti 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in Thee, which was given Thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elderhood.
1Ti 4:15 Meditate upon these [things]; be in them; that Thy progress may appear to all.
1Ti 4:16 Take heed to thyself and to Thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this Thou shall both save thyself, and them that hearing Thee.

1Ti 5:1 Thou should not rebuke an elder, but entreat him as a father; [and] the younger men as brothers;
1Ti 5:2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
1Ti 5:3 Honour widows that are indeed widows.
1Ti 5:4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety at home,
        and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
1Ti 5:5 Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, have hoped in God, and remains in supplications and prayers night and day.
1Ti 5:6 But she who living in pleasure, has died while she living.
1Ti 5:7 And command these [things], that they may be blameless.
1Ti 5:8 But if any provides not for his own, and especially for those of his own household,
        he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
1Ti 5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under sixty years [old], having become a wife of one man.
1Ti 5:10 Being well reported for good works; if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the Saints' feet,
        if she has relieved those who being troubled, if she has diligently followed every good work.
1Ti 5:11
        But the younger widows refuse: for when they may have begun to grow wanton against the Christ{Messiah}, they will marry;
1Ti 5:12 having judgment, because they have set away their first faith.
1Ti 5:13 And at the same time they learn [to be] idle, wandering around the houses,
        and not only idle, but tattlers also, and meddlesome, speaking things which they ought not.
1Ti 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house,
        to give no occasion to the adversary because of reproach.
1Ti 5:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
1Ti 5:16 If any faithful [man] or faithful [woman] that has widows,
        let them relieve them, and let not the Church be charged; that it may relieve them that are indeed widows.
1Ti 5:17
        Let the elders that rule well, be worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
1Ti 5:18 For the Scripture says, Thou shall not muzzle an ox that is threshing. [Deu 25:4]
        And the labourer [is] worthy of his reward. [Luk 10:7]
1Ti 5:19
        Against an elder receive not an accusation, except before two or three witnesses. [Deu 19:15]
1Ti 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
1Ti 5:21 I charge before God and Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect Angels,
        that Thou may observe these [things] without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
1Ti 5:22 Lay hands on no one quickly, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
1Ti 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for Thy stomach's sake, and Thy frequent infirmities.
1Ti 5:24 Some men's sins are evident, going before to judgment: and some [men] they follow after.
1Ti 5:25 Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
1Ti 6:1
        Let as many servants as are under the yoke, deem their own masters worthy of all honour,
        that the name of God and the doctrine may not be blasphemed.
1Ti 6:2 And they that having faithful masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather let [them] serve,
        because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the good deed. These [things] teach and exhort.

1Ti 6:3 If anyone teaches otherwise, and consent not to sound words,
        the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness,
1Ti 6:4 he has been puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words,
        from which comes envy, strife, blasphemies, evil surmisings,
1Ti 6:5 meddling of men of corrupt minds, and having been defrauded of the truth,
        supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into the World, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.
1Ti 6:8 But having food and garment, with these let us be content.
1Ti 6:9 But those wishing to be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare,
        and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1Ti 6:10 For a root of all the evil [things] is the love of money:
        with some desire after, were seduced from the faith and themselves pierced [with] many pains.

1Ti 6:11 But Thou, O man of GOD, flee from these [things]; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on everlasting life, to which Thou was also called,
        and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1Ti 6:13 I command Thee in the sight of GOD, who vivifying all [things], and [before] Christ Jesus,
        who before Pontius Pilate testified a good profession;
1Ti 6:14 that Thee keep this Commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1Ti 6:15 which in His times He shall show [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of the reigners, and Lord of the lords;
1Ti 6:16 who only having immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach;
        whom no one has seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen!
1Ti 6:17
        Command to the rich in this Age{World}, that they be not high-minded,
        nor hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the Living God, who gives us richly all [things] to enjoy;
1Ti 6:18 to do good, to be rich in good works, ready to distribute, to be sociable;
1Ti 6:19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on everlasting life.

1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to Thy trust,
        avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of the falsely named knowledge;
1Ti 6:21 which some professing, erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with Thee. Amen!

2Ti 1:1 [Scroll 46 Second Epistle to Timothy].
        Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2Ti 1:2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God [the] Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

2Ti 1:3 I have thanks God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure conscience,
        as I have continual remembrance concerning Thee in my prayers night and day;
2Ti 1:4 greatly desiring to see Thee, being mindful of Thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
2Ti 1:5 receiving the report of unfeigned faith in Thee,
        which dwelt first in Thy grandmother Lois, and Thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in Thee also.

2Ti 1:6 For which cause I remind Thee to stir up the gift of GOD, which is in Thee by the imposition of my hands.
2Ti 1:7 For God gave us not the spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of moderation.
2Ti 1:8 Therefore Thou should not be 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;
2Ti 1:9 who having saved us, and having called [us] with a Holy calling,
        not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace,
        which was given to us in Christ Jesus before Everlasting Times;
2Ti 1:10 but has now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who has abolished death,
        and has brought life and incorruption to light through the Gospel:
2Ti 1:11 for which I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of [the] gentiles.
2Ti 1:12 For which cause I also suffer these [things]: but I am not ashamed: for I have known whom I have believed,
        and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him against that day.
2Ti 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which Thou have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 1:14 That good thing which was committed to Thee keep by [the] Holy Spirit who dwelling in us.
2Ti 1:15
        This Thou have known, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
2Ti 1:16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
2Ti 1:17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
2Ti 1:18 May the Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day:
        and in how many [things] he served at Ephesus, Thou know very well.

2Ti 2:1 Thou therefore, my child, be strengthen in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 2:2 And the things that Thou have heard from me among many witnesses,
        the same commit Thou to faithful men, also who shall be able to teach others.
2Ti 2:3 Thou therefore endure evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Ti 2:4 No one that making war is entangled himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he who having called as a soldier may please Him.
2Ti 2:5 But if anyone also should compete, [yet] is he not crowned, except he should compete lawfully.
2Ti 2:6 The labouring Husbandman must be to partake first of the fruits.
2Ti 2:7 Consider what I say; and may the Lord give Thee understanding in all [things].
2Ti 2:8
        Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my Gospel:
2Ti 2:9 in which I endure evil, as a malefactor, to bonds; but the Word of GOD has been not bound.
2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure all [things] for the elects' sake, that they may also obtain the Salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory.
2Ti 2:11
        Faithful [is] the Word:
        For if we died with [Him], we shall also live with Him:
2Ti 2:12 if we endure, we shall also reign with [Him]:
        if we deny Him, He also shall deny us:
2Ti 2:13 if we are unfaithful, [yet] He stays faithful:
        He cannot deny Himself.

2Ti 2:14 Of these [things] put [them] in remembrance, charging [them] before the Lord,
        that they contend not about words to no profit, [but] to the subverting of the hearers.
2Ti 2:15 Be diligent to show thyself approved to God, an unashamed workman, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they shall increase to more impiety.
2Ti 2:17 And their word shall have spread like gangrene: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;
2Ti 2:18 who concerning the truth erred, saying that the resurrection have been past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2Ti 2:19 However, the foundation of God has stood firm, having this seal, The Lord knew them that being His.
        And let every one depart from unrighteousness that naming the name of Christ.
2Ti 2:20
        But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earthen; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
2Ti 2:21 If anyone therefore should cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour,
        sanctified and meet for the master's use, [and] prepared to every good work.
2Ti 2:22
        Flee also youthful lusts: but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they generate quarrels.
2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the LORD must not contend; but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
2Ti 2:25 in meekness instructing those that opposing; if God perhaps may give them repentance to the full knowledge of the truth:
2Ti 2:26 and [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who having been taken captive by him at his will.

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the Last Days perilous times shall be present;
2Ti 3:2 for men shall be selfish, covetous, braggarts, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, not loving goodness,
2Ti 3:4 traitors, rashly, have been puffed, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, being led away with diverse lusts;
2Ti 3:7 always learning, and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these resist the truth: men having been ruined in minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also became.
2Ti 3:10 But Thou have attained my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, endurance, love, patience,
2Ti 3:11
        Persecutions, afflictions which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;
        what persecutions I endured: but out of [them] all the Lord delivered me.
2Ti 3:12 And all indeed that willing to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted.
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall become worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2Ti 3:14 But continue Thou in the things which Thou have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom Thou have learned [them];
2Ti 3:15 and that from an infant Thou have known the Holy Writings, which are able to make Thee wise to Salvation through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture [is by] inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for the instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 that the man of GOD may be complete, having been equipped to all good works.
2Ti 4:1 I charge therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge [the] living and [the] dead at His appearing and His Kingdom;
2Ti 4:2 preach the word; stand by seasonably, unseasonably; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all endurance and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For there shall be a time when they shall not bear sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they multiply to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 and they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables.
2Ti 4:5 But watch Thou in all [things], endure evil, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of Thy ministry.
2Ti 4:6
        For I am now ready [to be] offered, and the time of my departure has come.
2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
2Ti 4:8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
        shall give me in that day: and not to me only, but to all those also that love his appearing.

2Ti 4:9 Be diligence to come shortly to me:
2Ti 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present Age{World}, and has departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
2Ti 4:11 Luke only is with me. Having taken Mark, and bring him with thyself: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
2Ti 4:12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
2Ti 4:13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, [when Thou] coming, bring [with Thee], and the Books, [but] especially the Parchments.
2Ti 4:14 Alexander the copper-smith showed me much evil. May the Lord reward him according to his works:
2Ti 4:15 of whom be Thou aware also; for he has greatly withstood our words.
2Ti 4:16 At my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be counted to them.
2Ti 4:17 And the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known,
        and [that] all the gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of [the] mouth of the lion.
2Ti 4:18
        And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and shall preserve me to His Heavenly Kingdom; to whom [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen!

2Ti 4:19 Salute Prisca{Priscilla} and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
2Ti 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I have left at Miletum sick.
2Ti 4:21 Be diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes Thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
2Ti 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with Thy spirit. Grace [be] with you. Amen!

Tit 1:1 [Scroll 47 Epistle to Titus].
        Paul, a servant of GOD, and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
        according to [the] faith of God's elects, and the full knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness;
Tit 1:2 in hope of everlasting life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before Everlasting Times;
Tit 1:3 but has in due times manifested His word in preaching, which I was entrusted to me by a command of God our Saviour;
Tit 1:4 to Titus, my genuine child according to [the] common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Tit 1:5 For this cause I left Thee in Crete, that Thou should set in order the things that are wanting, and may ordain elders in every city, as I appointed Thee:
Tit 1:6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or disorderly.
Tit 1:7 For the overseer{bishop} must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no bully, not a profiteer;
Tit 1:8 but hospitable, lover of good, discreet, just, Holy, temperate;
Tit 1:9 holding fast the doctrine according to the faithful word, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the contradictors.

Tit 1:10 For there are many even disorderly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision:
Tit 1:11 whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of shameful gain.
Tit 1:12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, The Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies.
Tit 1:13 This testimony is true: therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Tit 1:14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn from the truth.
Tit 1:15 To the pure all [things are] pure: but to them that are defiled and faithless [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Tit 1:16 They profess that they to know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.

Tit 2:1 But speak Thou the things which become sound doctrine:
Tit 2:2 that the aged men to be sober, honourable, temperate, sound [in] the faith, [in] love, [in] patience;
Tit 2:3 the aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becomes Holiness, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
Tit 2:4 that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
Tit 2:5 [to be] discreet, pure, home-keepers, good, being obedient to their own husbands, that the Word of GOD may be not blasphemed.
Tit 2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober-minded.
Tit 2:7 In all [things] showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine [showing] incorruptness, dignity, incorruption,
Tit 2:8 sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.
Tit 2:9
        [Exhort] servants to be obedient to their own masters, to be pleasing in all [things]; not contradicting;
Tit 2:10 not embezzling, but showing all good faith; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all [things].
Tit 2:11 For it appeared that the grace of God brings Salvation to all men.
Tit 2:12 Teaching us, that denying impiety, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, in this present Age{World};
Tit 2:13 expecting the blessed hope, and appearance of the glory of the great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ;
Tit 2:14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness, and might purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Tit 2:15
        These [things] speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise Thee.
Tit 3:1
        Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
Tit 3:2 to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, showing all meekness to all men.
Tit 3:3 For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, being deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures,
        living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.
Tit 3:4
        But when the kindness and the love to mankind of God our Saviour appeared,
Tit 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us,
        by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of [the] Holy Spirit;
Tit 3:6 which He shed on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Tit 3:7 that having been justified by His grace, we should become heirs according to the hope of everlasting life.
Tit 3:8 Faithful [is] the Word, and these [things] I will that Thee affirm,
        that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works.
        These [things] are good and profitable to men.
Tit 3:9
        But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and quarrels about Law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Tit 3:10 A heretical man, after the first and second admonition, reject;
Tit 3:11 knowing that he who is such, is subverted, and sins, being condemned by himself.

Tit 3:12 When I shall send Artemas to Thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
Tit 3:13 Bring Zenas the Lawyer and Apollos on their journey earnestly, that nothing may be wanting to them.
Tit 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Tit 3:15 All that are with me salute Thee. Salute them that loving us in faith. Grace [be] with you all. Amen!

Phm 1:1 [Scroll 48 Epistle to Philemon].
        Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy [our] brother, to Philemon our beloved, and fellow-worker,
Phm 1:2 and to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the Church in Thy house.
Phm 1:3 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

Phm 1:4 I give thanks [to] my God, making mention of Thee always in my prayers,
Phm 1:5 hearing of Thy love and the faith, which Thou have towards the Lord Jesus, and to all Saints;
Phm 1:6 that the communion of Thy faith may become effective by the full knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Phm 1:7 For we have much joy and consolation in Thy love, because the bowels of the Saints are refreshed by Thee, brother.

Phm 1:8 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ having to enjoin Thee that which is fitting.
Phm 1:9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech [Thee], being such one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
Phm 1:10
        I beseech Thee for my child Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Phm 1:11 who in time past was to Thee unprofitable, but now profitable to Thee and to me:
Phm 1:12 whom I sent back: Thou therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:
Phm 1:13 whom I would have retained with myself, that in Thy stead he might serves to me in the bonds of the Gospel:
Phm 1:14 but without Thy mind I would do nothing; that Thy goodness may not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Phm 1:15
        For perhaps for this he was separated for an hour, that Thou may receive him everlasting;
Phm 1:16 not longer as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved,
        especially to me, but how much more to Thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

Phm 1:17 If Thou account me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
Phm 1:18 But if he has wronged Thee, or owes [Thee] aught, put that on my account.
Phm 1:19
        I, Paul wrote [it] by my hand, I shall repay [it]: although I may not say to Thee that Thou own also thyself to me besides.
Phm 1:20
        Yes, brother, may I have profit of Thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Phm 1:21 Having been confidence in Thy obedience I wrote to Thee, knowing that Thou shall also do more than I may say.
Phm 1:22 But at the same time prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

Phm 1:23 There salute Thee Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
Phm 1:24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers.
Phm 1:25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen!

Rev 1:1 [Scroll 49 Revelation].
        Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him,
        to show to His servants things which must come to pass quickly;
        and He sent and signified [it] by His Angel to His servant John:
Rev 1:2 who testified the Word of GOD, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and whatsoever things that he saw.

Rev 1:3 Blessed [is] he who reading, and they that hearing the words of this prophecy,
        and keeping those things which are written in it: for the time [is] near!
Rev 1:4 John to the seven Churches which [are] in Asia: Grace [be] to you, and peace, from Him,
        who being [there], and who was, and who [is] coming;
        and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne;
Rev 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first-born from the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the Earth.
        To Him that loved us, and bathed us from our sins in His own blood,
Rev 1:6 and has made us kings and priests to God and His Father. To Him [be] the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen!

Rev 1:7 Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they [also] who pierced Him: and all tribes of the Earth shall wail because of Him. Yes, Amen!

Rev 1:8 I AM the Alpha and the Omega, [the] Beginning and End,
        says the LORD,
        who being [there], and who was, and who [is] coming,
        the Almighty.
Rev 1:9 I, John, who also [am] your brother, and companion in the tribulation,
        and in the Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that being called Patmos,
        for the Word of GOD, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 1:10 I was in [the] Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a shofar,
Rev 1:11
        saying, I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last:
        and what Thou see, write in a book, and send [it] to the seven Churches which [are] in Asia;
        to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands;
Rev 1:13 and in [the] middle of the seven lampstands [One] like the Son of Man,
        clothed [with a garment] down to the foot, and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle.
Rev 1:14 His head and [His] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
Rev 1:15 and His feet like orichalcum, as if [they] burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters;
Rev 1:16 and He having in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword:
        and His countenance [was] as the sun shines in His power;
Rev 1:17 and when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.
        And He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me,
        Fear not; I AM the First and the Last:
Rev 1:18 and He who living, and became dead;
        and behold, I AM living forever and ever, Amen!
        And have the keys of Hades and of Death.
Rev 1:19 Write the things which Thou have seen,
        and the things which are, and the things which happen after these.
Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which Thou saw in My right [hand], and the seven golden lampstands.
        The <seven stars are the Angels of the seven Churches>:
        and the <seven lampstands> which Thou saw are the <seven Churches>.
Rev 2:1
        To the Angel of the <Church of Ephesus> write;
        These [things] says He who holding the seven stars in His right [hand], who walking in the middle of the seven golden lampstands;
Rev 2:2 I have known Thy works, and Thy labour, and Thy patience, and that Thou cannot bear them who are evil;
        and Thou have tried them who claiming to be apostles, and are not; and have found them false:
Rev 2:3 and Thou did bear, and have patience, and for My name's sake have laboured, and have not fainted.
Rev 2:4 But I have [somewhat] against Thee, because <Thou have left Thy first love>.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore whence Thou have fallen, and repent, and do the first works;
        otherwise I come to Thee quickly, and <shall remove Thy lampstand out of its place, except Thou may repent>.
Rev 2:6 But this Thou have, that Thou hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Rev 2:7 He who having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
        To him that overcoming, I shall give to him to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the middle of the Garden of GOD.
Rev 2:8
        And to the Angel of the <Church in Smyrna> write;
        These [things] says the First and the Last,
        who became dead, and lived;
Rev 2:9 <I have known Thy works>, and the tribulation, and poverty, (but Thou are rich);
        and <the blasphemy of them who saying to be Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan>.
Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which Thou are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast [some] of you into prison,
        that ye may be tried; and ye shall have <tribulation ten days>. Become Thou <faithful to death>, and I shall give Thee a <crown of life>.
Rev 2:11 He who having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
        He who overcoming, should not be hurt by the second death.
Rev 2:12
        And to the Angel of the <Church in Pergamos> write;
        These [things] says He who having the sharp sword with two edges;
Rev 2:13 I have known Thy works, and where Thou dwell, where <Satan's throne> [is]: and Thou hold fast My name, and have not denied My faith,
        even in those days in which <Antipas> [was] My faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells.
Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against Thee, because Thou have there those that hold the <doctrine of Balaam>,
        who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel,
        to eat things <sacrificed to idols>, and to commit <fornication>.
Rev 2:15 So have Thou also them that holding the <doctrine of the Nicolaitans>, which thing I hate.
Rev 2:16 Repent; otherwise I come to Thee quickly, and shall make war with them with the sword of My mouth.
Rev 2:17 He who having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
        To him that overcoming, I shall give to him to eat of the hidden manna, and shall give him a white vote-pebble, and on the vote-pebble a new name has been written,
        which no one knows, he excepted, that receiving [it].
Rev 2:18
        And to the Angel of the <Church in Thyatira> write;
        These [things] says the Son of God, who having His eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet [are] like orichalcum;
Rev 2:19 I have known Thy works, and the love, and the service, and the faith, and Thy patience, and Thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first.
Rev 2:20 But I have a few things against Thee, because Thou allow that <woman Jezebel>, who calls herself a prophetess,
        to teach and to seduce My servants to commit <fornication>, and to eat things sacrificed to <idols>.
Rev 2:21 And <I gave her time that she might repent of her fornication, and she repented not>.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I cast her into a couch, and them that commit adultery with <her into Great Tribulation, except they repent of their works>.
Rev 2:23 And <I shall kill her children with death; and all the Churches> shall know that I AM who searches the reins and hearts:
        and I shall give to every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, As many as have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan,
        as they speak; I shall put upon you no other burden:
Rev 2:25 but that which ye have hold fast until I should come.
Rev 2:26 And he who overcoming, and keeping My works to [the] end, to him I shall give power over the nations.
Rev 2:27 And He shall shepherd them with a <rod of iron>;
        as the vessels of a potter are broken to shivers:
        (as I also have received from My Father).
Rev 2:28 And I shall give Him the morning-star.
Rev 2:29 He who having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Rev 3:1
        And to the Angel of the <Church in Sardis> write;
        These [things] says He who having the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars;
        I have known Thy works, that Thou have a name, that Thou live, and are dead.
Rev 3:2 Becoming watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found Thy works being fulfilled before God.
Rev 3:3 <Remember therefore how Thou have received and heard, and keep it, and repent>.
        If therefore Thou may not watch, I shall come on Thee as a thief,
        and Thou may not know what hour I shall come upon Thee.
Rev 3:4 Thou have a <few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments>;
        and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy.
Rev 3:5 He who overcoming, the same shall be clothed in white garment;
        and I shall not blot out his name out of the Book of Life,
        but I shall confess his name before My Father, and before His Angels.
Rev 3:6 He who having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Rev 3:7
        And to the Angel of the <Church in Philadelphia> write;
        These [things] says the Holy and the True, He who having the key of David,
        He who opening, and no one shuts; and shuts, and none opens:
Rev 3:8 I have known Thy works, behold, I have given before Thee a door that having been opened, and no one can shut it:
        for <Thou have little power, and have kept My word>, and have not denied My name.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I give out of the synagogue of Satan, who saying they are Jews, and are not, but do lie.
        Behold, I shall make them that they may come and worship before Thy feet, and should know that I loved Thee;
Rev 3:10 because Thou have kept the word of My patience, <I also shall keep Thee from the hour of temptation, that is about to come upon the whole World>,
        to try those who dwelling upon the Earth.
Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which Thou have, that no man may take Thy crown.
Rev 3:12
        He who overcoming, I shall make a pillar in the Sanctuary of My God,
        and he should go out no more: and I shall write upon him the name of My God,
        and the name of the city of My God, [which is] New Jerusalem,
        which comes down out of Heaven from My God: and My new name.
Rev 3:13 He who having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
Rev 3:14
        And to the Angel of the <Church of [the] Laodiceans> write;
        These [things] says the Amen, the Faithful and True witness, the beginning of the creation of GOD;
Rev 3:15 I have known Thy works, that Thou are neither cold nor hot: I would Thou were cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then, because Thou <are lukewarm>, and neither cold nor hot, <I am about to vomit Thee> out of My mouth:
Rev 3:17 because Thou say, I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing;
        and have not known that Thou are wretched, and pitiful, and poor, and <blind, and naked>.
Rev 3:18 I counsel Thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that Thou may be rich; and white garment,
        that Thou may be clothed, and [that] the shame of Thy nakedness may not appear;
        and <anoint Thy eyes with eye-salve, that Thou may see>.
Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and <repent>.
Rev 3:20 Behold, I have stood at the door, and knock: If anyone may hear My voice, and may open the door,
        I shall come in to him, and shall sup with him, and he with Me.
Rev 3:21 He who overcoming, I shall give to him to sit with Me on My throne, even as I also overcame,
        and set down with My Father on His throne.
Rev 3:22 He who having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.

Rev 4:1 After these I saw, and behold, a door [was] opened in Heaven: and the first voice which I heard,
        [was] as it were of a shofar speaking with me; which saying,
        Come up here, and I shall show Thee things which must be after these.
Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold, a throne was set in Heaven, and [One] sitting upon the throne.
Rev 4:3 And He who sitting was in appearance like a jasper and a sardine stone:
        and [there was] a rainbow around the throne in sight like an emerald.
Rev 4:4 And around the throne [were] twenty four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty four elders sitting,
        clothed in white garment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunders and voices.
        And [there were] <seven lamps> of fire burning before the throne, which are the <seven Spirits of God>.
Rev 4:6
        And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like crystal:
        And in [the] middle of the throne, and around the throne,
        [were] four living beings full of eyes before and behind.
Rev 4:7 And the first living being [was] like a lion,
        and the second living being like a calf,
        and the third living being having a face as a man,
        and the fourth living being [was] like a flying eagle.
Rev 4:8 And the four living beings had each one of them six wings about him;
        and [they were] full of eyes within: and they have no rest; day and night, saying,
        Holy, Holy, Holy,
        LORD God Almighty,
        who was, and who being [there], and who [is] coming.
Rev 4:9 And when those living beings shall give glory, and honour,
        and thanksgiving to Him that sitting upon the throne, that living forever and ever,
Rev 4:10 the twenty four elders shall fall down before Him that sat upon the throne, and worship Him that living forever and ever,
        and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Rev 4:11 Worthy are Thou, Lord, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power:
        for Thou created all [things], and for Thy will they are and were created.

Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right [hand] of Him that sat upon the throne a book has been written inside and backside, having been sealed with seven seals.
Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong Angel proclaiming with a great voice,
        Who is worthy to open the Book, and to loose its seals?
Rev 5:3 And no one in the Heaven, nor upon the Earth, neither under the Earth, was able to open the Book, neither to look upon it.
Rev 5:4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the Book, and to read, neither to look upon it.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders says to me, Weep not: behold, the lion being of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David,
        overcame to open the Book, and to loose its seven seals.
Rev 5:6 And I saw, and behold, in the middle of the throne, and of the four living beings,
        and in [the] middle of the elders having stood a Lamb as it having been slain,
        having seven horns, and <seven eyes>, which are the <seven Spirits of God> which have been sent into all the Earth.

Rev 5:7 And He came and has taken the Book out of the right [hand] of Him that sitting upon the throne.
Rev 5:8 And when He took the Book, the four living beings, and twenty four elders fell down before the Lamb,
        having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of incenses, which are the prayers of Saints.
Rev 5:9
        And they sing a <new song>, saying,
        Worthy are Thou to take the Book,
        and to open of it the seals:
        for Thou were slain, and redeemed us to God by Thy blood,
        out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Rev 5:10 and made us to our God kings and priests:
        and we shall reign on the Earth.
Rev 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard [the] voice of many Angels around the throne,
        and the living beings, and the elders:
        and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands;
Rev 5:12 saying with a great voice,
        Worthy is the Lamb that having been slain to receive power,
        and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in the Heaven, and upon the Earth,
        and under the Earth, and such as are upon the sea,
        and all that are in them, I heard saying,
        The blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the power,
        [be] to Him that sitting upon the throne,
        and to the Lamb forever and ever.
Rev 5:14 And the four living beings said, Amen!
        And the twenty four elders fell down and worshiped Him that living forever and ever.

Rev 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened [the] first of <the Seals>,
        and I heard, as it were a voice of thunder, one of the four living beings saying, Come and see!
Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold, a <white horse>:
        and he who sitting upon him having a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went forth overcoming, and might overcame.
Rev 6:3
        And when He opened the <second Seal>,
        I heard the second living being saying, Come and see!
Rev 6:4 And there went out another; a <fiery red horse>:
        and it was given to him that sitting upon him to take peace from the Earth, and that they should slain one another: and there was given to him a great sword.
Rev 6:5
        And when He opened the <third Seal>,
        I heard the third living being saying, Come and see!
        And I saw, and behold, a <black horse>;
        and he who sitting upon him having a pair of balances in his hand.
Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice in the middle of the four living beings say,
        A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius; and Thou should not hurt the oil and the wine.
Rev 6:7
        And when He opened the <fourth Seal>,
        I heard a voice of the fourth living being say, Come and see!
Rev 6:8 And I saw, and behold, a <pale-green horse>:
        and he who sitting upon him, his name was Death, and Hades follows with him.
        And authority was given to them over the fourth [part] of the Earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the beasts of the Earth.
Rev 6:9
        And when He 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:
Rev 6:10 and they cried with a great voice, saying,
        <Until when, Master, the Holy and the True, do Thou not judge and avenge our blood> on those who dwelling upon the Earth?
Rev 6:11 And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a little time,
        until it shall be fulfilled: as they also their fellow-servants and their brethren, that being about to be killed.
Rev 6:12
        And I saw when He opened the <sixth Seal>,
        <and behold, there came a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood>.
Rev 6:13 And the stars of the Heaven fell to the Earth, even as a fig-tree casts its untimely figs, being shaken by a great wind.
Rev 6:14 And the Heaven departed as a book-roll being rolled together; and every mountain and isle were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the Earth, and the greatest men, and the rich men, and the tribunes, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free-man,
        hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 and says to the mountains and rocks,
        Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sits upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 for the <great day of His wrath is come>; and who is able to stand?

Rev 7:1 And after these I saw four Angels standing on the four corners of the Earth,
        holding the four winds of the Earth, that the wind may not blow on the Earth,
        nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree.
Rev 7:2
        And I saw another Angel ascending from [the] rising sun [side], having [the] seal of [the] Living God:
        and he cried with a great voice to the four Angels, to whom it was given to hurt the Earth and the sea,
Rev 7:3 saying, <Hurt not the Earth, neither the sea, nor the trees>,
        <until we should sealed the servants> of our <God in their foreheads>.
Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them who were sealed:
        [and there were] sealed a <144 thousand> of all the tribes of the sons of Israel.
Rev 7:5 Of [the] tribe of Judah [were] sealed 12 thousand.
        Of [the] tribe of Reuben [were] sealed 12 thousand.
        Of [the] tribe of Gad [were] sealed 12 thousand.
Rev 7:6 Of [the] tribe of Asher [were] sealed 12 thousand.
        Of [the] tribe of Naphtali [were] sealed 12 thousand.
        Of [the] tribe of Manasseh [were] sealed 12 thousand.
Rev 7:7 Of [the] tribe of Simeon [were] sealed 12 thousand.
        Of [the] tribe of Levi [were] sealed 12 thousand.
        Of [the] tribe of Issachar [were] sealed 12 thousand.
Rev 7:8 Of [the] tribe of Zebulun [were] sealed 12 thousand.
        Of [the] tribe of Joseph [were] sealed 12 thousand.
        Of [the] tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed 12 thousand.
Rev 7:9
        After these I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no one was able to number,
        out of every nation, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues,
        standing before the throne, and before the Lamb,
        clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Rev 7:10 and cried with a great voice, saying,
        Salvation to our God who sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
Rev 7:11
        And all the Angels had stood around the throne, and [about] the elders and the four living beings,
        and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped GOD,
Rev 7:12 saying, Amen!
        The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the might, [be] to our God forever and ever. Amen!

Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me,
        Who are these that are arrayed in the white robes? And whence came they?
Rev 7:14 And I have said to him,
        lord, Thou have known. And he said to me, These are they who are coming out of the <Great Tribulation>,
        and have <washed their robes>, and made them <white in the blood of the Lamb>.
Rev 7:15 Therefore they are before the throne of GOD, and serve Him day and night in His Sanctuary:
        and He who sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle among them.
Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither shall thirst any more;
        neither should the sun strike on them, nor any heat.
Rev 7:17 For the Lamb who [is] in [the] middle of the throne shall shepherd them, and shall lead them to living fountains of waters:
        and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Rev 8:1 And when He opened the <seventh Seal>, there was silence in Heaven about a half hour.
Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven Angels who have stood before God; and to them were given <seven shofars>.
Rev 8:3
        And another Angel came and stood at the Altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incenses,
        that he may offer [it] with the prayers of all Saints upon the golden Altar which [was] before the throne.
Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incenses arose, [which came] with the prayers of the Saints, out of [the] hand of the Angel before God.
Rev 8:5 And the Angel has taken the censer, and filled it with fire of the Altar, and cast [it] upon the Earth:
        and there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Rev 8:6
        And the seven Angels who having the seven shofars prepared themselves that they may sound.
Rev 8:7
        The <first Angel> sounded, and there came hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast upon the Earth:
        and the third [part] of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Rev 8:8 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;
Rev 8:9 and the third [part] of the creatures which [were] in the sea, and have souls, died;
        and the third [part] of the ships were destroyed.
Rev 8:10 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;
Rev 8:11 and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third [part] of the waters becomes wormwood;
        and many men died by the waters, because they were made bitter.
Rev 8:12 And the <fourth Angel> sounded,
        and the third [part] of the sun was smitten,
        and the third [part] of the moon,
        and the third [part] of the stars;
        so that the third [part] of them was darkened,
        and the day shone not [for] a third [part] of it, and the night likewise.
Rev 8:13 And I beheld, and I heard one Angel flying in the middle of Heaven, saying with a great voice,
        <Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwelling upon the Earth>,
        by reason of the other voices of the shofar of the three Angels, which [are] yet to sound!
Rev 9:1
        And the <fifth Angel> sounded, and I saw <a star having fallen from Heaven to the Earth>:
        and it was given to him the <key> of the pit <of the Abyss>.
Rev 9:2 And he opened the pit of the Abyss; 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.
Rev 9:3 And there came out of the smoke grasshoppers upon the Earth:
        and authority was given to them, as the scorpions have authority of the Earth.
Rev 9:4 And it was said to them that they should <not hurt> the grass of the Earth,
        neither any green thing, neither any tree;
        <except only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads>.
Rev 9:5 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 it may strike a man.
Rev 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it;
        and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Rev 9:7 And the likenesses of the grasshoppers [were] like to horses prepared for war;
         and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.
Rev 9:8  And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] of lions.
Rev 9:9  And they had breast-plates, as it were breast-plates of iron;
         and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war.
Rev 9:10 And they have tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails:
         and their power [was] to hurt men <five months>.
Rev 9:11 And they have a king over them,
        [who is] the Angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew [is] Abaddon,
        but in the Greek [language] he has [the] name Apollyon.
Rev 9:12 The <First Woe departed>; behold, there come two woes more after these.
Rev 9:13
        And the <sixth Angel> sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden Altar which is before God,
Rev 9:14 saying to the sixth Angel who had the shofar,
        Loose the four Angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Rev 9:15 And the four Angels were loosed, who were prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they may kill the third [part] of men.
Rev 9:16 And the number of [the] army of the horsemen [was] twice myriads of myriads: and I heard the number of them.
Rev 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat upon them, having breast-plates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone:
        and the heads of the horses [were] as the heads of lions: and out of their mouths issued fire, and smoke, and brimstone.
Rev 9:18 By these three was the third [part] of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone,
        which issued out of their mouths.
Rev 9:19 For their power is in their mouth,
        and in their tails: for their tails [were] like to serpents,
        and having heads, and with them they do hurt.
Rev 9:20
        And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands,
        that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, and of stone, and of wood:
        which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Rev 9:21 and neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty Angel coming down from the Heaven,
        clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon the head, and his face [was] as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.
Rev 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and [his] left on the Earth,
Rev 10:3 and cried with a great voice, as [when] a lion roars:
        and when he cried, seven thunders uttered their voices;
Rev 10:4 and when the seven thunders uttered their voices,
        I was about to write: and I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me,
        Seal up those [things] which the seven thunders uttered, and may write them not.
Rev 10:5 And the Angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the Earth lifted up his hand to Heaven,
Rev 10:6 and swore by him that living forever and ever, who created Heaven, and the things that are in it, and the Earth,
        and the things that are in it, and the sea, and the things which are in it, that time shall be no more.
Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the <seventh Angel>, when he may about to sound,
        the mystery of God should be finished, as He has declared to His servants the prophets.

Rev 10:8 And the voice which I heard from the Heaven speaking with me again, and saying,
        Go, [and] take the little book which is open in the hand of the Angel which stands upon the sea and upon the Earth.
Rev 10:9 And I went to the Angel, saying to him,
        Give me the little book.
        And he says to me,
        Take [it], and devour it, and it shall make Thy belly bitter, but it shall be in Thy mouth sweet as honey.
Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the Angel's hand, and devoured it; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey:
        and when I ate it my belly was bitter.

Rev 10:11 And he says to me, Of Thee must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like a rod: and the Angel had stood, saying,
        Rise, and measure the Sanctuary of God, and the Altar, and them that worshipping in Him.
Rev 11:2 But the court which [is] outside the Sanctuary, cast out, and may measure it not; for it was given to the <gentiles>:
        and the Holy City shall they tread under foot <forty two months>.
Rev 11:3 And I shall give [power] to My <two witnesses>, and they shall prophesy a <thousand two hundred sixty days>, clothed in sackcloth.
Rev 11:4 These are the <two olive-trees>, and the two <lampstands> standing before the God of the Earth.
Rev 11:5 And if anyone may wish hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies:
        and if anyone may wish hurt them, thus he must to be killed.
Rev 11:6 These have power to shut Heaven, that it may not rain in [the] days of their prophecy:
        and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the Earth with every plague, as often as they will.
Rev 11:7 And when they should have finished their testimony,
        the beast that rising up out of the Abyss shall make war with them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Rev 11:8 And their carcasses [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Rev 11:9 And they of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, shall see their carcasses <three days and a half>,
        and shall not allow their carcasses to be put in graves.
Rev 11:10 And those who dwelling upon the Earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another;
        because these two prophets tormented those who dwelling upon the Earth.
Rev 11:11 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 who saw them.
Rev 11:12 And they heard a great voice from Heaven, saying to them,
        Come up here. And they ascended to Heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Rev 11:13 And in that hour came a <great earthquake>, and the tenth [part] of the city fell,
        and in the earthquake were killed seven thousand names of men: and the remnant were affrighted,
        and gave glory to the God of Heaven.
Rev 11:14 The <Second Woe departed>; behold, the third woe comes quickly.

Rev 11:15 And the <seventh Angel> sounded; and there were great voices in Heaven, saying,
        The kingdoms of this World are become of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever.
Rev 11:16 And the twenty four elders, who sat before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces, and worshiped GOD,
Rev 11:17 saying, We give Thee thanks, LORD God Almighty,
        who being [there], and who was, and who [is] coming;
        because Thou have taken to Thee Thy great power, and have reigned.
Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged,
        and that Thou should give reward to Thy servants the prophets, and to the Saints,
        and them that fear Thy name, the small and great; and to destroy them who destroying the Earth.
Rev 11:19
        And the Sanctuary of God was opened in Heaven, and there was seen the Ark of His Covenant in His Sanctuary:
        and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Rev 12:1 And a great sign was seen in the Heaven; a <woman> clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet,
        and upon her head a <crown of twelve stars>.
Rev 12:2 And she being pregnant, cries, travailing, and being pained to be delivered.
Rev 12:3 And another sign was seen in the Heaven; and behold, a <great fiery red dragon>,
        having <seven heads and ten horns>, and <seven diadems> upon his heads.
Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third [part] of the stars of Heaven, and cast them to the Earth:
        and the dragon has stood before the woman who was ready to be bring forth, so that when she should bring forth, he might devour her Child.
Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a Son, a Male[-Child], who should to shepherd all nations with a <rod of iron>:
        and her Child was caught up to God, and [to] His throne.
Rev 12:6 And <the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God>,
        that they should feed her there a <thousand two hundred sixty days>.
Rev 12:7
        And there came a war in Heaven: Michael and His Angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his Angels,
Rev 12:8 and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in Heaven.
Rev 12:9 And the <great dragon was cast out, that ancient serpent, being called the devil, and Satan, who deceiving the whole World>:
        he was cast out upon the Earth, and his Angels were cast out with him.
Rev 12:10 And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven,
        Now came Salvation, and power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ:
        for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not the soul to the death.
Rev 12:12
        Therefore rejoice, [ye] Heavens, and ye that tabernacling in them.
        Woe, to those that dwelling of the Earth, and of the sea! For the devil is come down to you,
        having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.
Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the Earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the Male[-Child].
Rev 12:14 And to the <woman> were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly <into the wilderness, into her place>,
        <where she is nourished> for a <time, and times, and half a time>, from the face of [the] <serpent>.
Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a river after the woman,
        that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
Rev 12:16 And the Earth helped the woman, and the Earth opened her mouth,
        and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Rev 12:17 And the <dragon> was angry over the <woman>, and went to <make war with the remnant of her seed,
        who keep the Commandments of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ>.

Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
        and saw a beast rising up out of the sea,
        having <seven heads and ten horns>,
        and upon his horns <ten diadems>,
        and upon his heads the name of <blasphemy>.
Rev 13:2 And <the beast> which I saw was like a <leopard>,
        and his feet were as of a <bear>,
        and his mouth as [the] mouth of a <lion>:
        and <the dragon gave him his power>,
        <and his throne>, and great authority.
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death;
        and his deadly wound was healed: and all the Earth marvelled after the beast.
Rev 13:4 And they worshiped the dragon which gave authority to the beast:
        and they worshiped the beast, saying, who [is] like the beast?
        Who is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
        and authority was given to him to continue <forty two months>.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in <blasphemy to God>,
        to blaspheme His name, and His Tabernacle, and them that tabernacling in Heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given to him <to make war with the Saints, and to overcome them>:
        and authority was given to him over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.
Rev 13:8 And all those who dwelling upon the Earth <shall worship him>,
        whose names <has not been written in the Book of Life> of the Lamb slain from [the] foundation of [the] World.
Rev 13:9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Rev 13:10 If anyone gathers captivity, he goes into captivity.
         If anyone kills with [the] sword, he must with the sword to be killed.
        Here is <the patience and the faith of the Saints>.

Rev 13:11 And I beheld <another beast> rising up out of the Earth,
        and he had <two horns like a Lamb>, and he <spoke as a dragon>.
Rev 13:12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast before him,
        and causes the Earth and those who dwelling in it that they may <worship the first beast>, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he does great signs, so that he may make fire come down from Heaven on the Earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 and deceives those who dwelling upon the Earth because of the signs which was given to do it before the beast;
        saying to those who dwelling upon the Earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which has the wound by a sword, and lived.
Rev 13:15 And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak,
        and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causes all, both the small and great, rich and poor, free and bondmen, that he should give them a <mark> on their <right hand>, or on <their foreheads>:
Rev 13:17 and that no man might buy or sell, except him that having the <mark>, or the name of the <beast>, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is the wisdom. Let him that having the mind count the number of the beast:
          for it is the <number of a man>; and his number [is] <666>.

Rev 14:1 And I saw, and behold, a <Lamb> stood on the Mount Zion, and with Him a <hundred forty four thousand>,
        having <the name of His Father has been written on their foreheads>.
Rev 14:2 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.
Rev 14:3 And they sing as a new song before the throne, and before the four living beings,
        and the elders: and no one was able to learn that song except the <hundred forty four thousand>,
        who were redeemed from the Earth.
Rev 14:4 These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.
        <These are they who following the Lamb> wherever He may go.
        These were redeemed from among men, [being] <first-fruit> to God and to the Lamb.
Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of GOD.
Rev 14:6
        And I saw another <Angel> fly in the middle of Heaven, having [the] everlasting Gospel to preach to those who dwelling upon the Earth,
        and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,
Rev 14:7 saying with a great voice,
        <Fear God, and give glory to Him; for [the] hour has come of His Judgment>:
        and worship Him that made Heaven, and Earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Rev 14:8 And there followed another <Angel>, saying,
        <Babylon fell, it fell, the great city>, because of the wine of the wrath of her fornication she has [made] all nations to drunk.
Rev 14:9 And the <third Angel> followed them, saying with a great voice,
        <If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives [his] mark on his forehead, or on his hand>,
Rev 14:10 <the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture in 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.
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night,
        who worshipping the beast and his image, and if <anyone receives the mark> of his name.
Rev 14:12 Here is <the patience of the Saints: here [are] they that keeping the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus>.

Rev 14:13 And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying to me,
        Write, Blessed [are] the dead who die in [the] Lord from henceforth!
        Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works follow them.
Rev 14:14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud sitting [One] like the Son of Man,
        having on His head a crown of gold, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
Rev 14:15 And another Angel came out of the Sanctuary, crying with a great voice to Him that sitting upon the cloud, Thrust in Thy sickle,
        and reap: for [the] hour has come for Thee to reap; for <the Harvest of the Earth is ripe>.
Rev 14:16 And He who sitting upon the cloud thrust in His sickle on the Earth; and the Earth was reaped.
Rev 14:17 And another Angel came out of the Sanctuary which is in Heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Rev 14:18 And another Angel came out from the Altar, who having authority over the fire; and cried with a great cry to him that having the sharp sickle,
        saying, Thrust in Thy sharp sickle, and pick the clusters of the vine of the Earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Rev 14:19 And the Angel thrust in his sickle into the Earth, and picked the vine of the Earth, and cast [it] into the great <winepress> of the wrath of God.
Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress,
        even to the horses' bridles, by the space of a thousand six hundred stadia.

Rev 15:1 And I saw another sign in Heaven, great and marvellous, <seven Angels having the seven last plagues>;
        for in them were finished the wrath of God.
Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and <they overcoming from the beast>,
        [and] over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name,
        standing upon the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Rev 15:3 And they sing the <Song of Moses> the servant of GOD,
        and the <Song of the Lamb>, saying,
        <Great and marvellous> [are] <Thy works, LORD God Almighty>;
        <just and true> [are] <Thy ways, Thou King of the Saints>.
Rev 15:4 Who should not fear Thee, Lord, and glorify Thy name?
        For [Thou] only [are] Holy:
        for all nations shall come and shall worship before Thee;
        for Thy Judgments are made manifest.

Rev 15:5 And after these I saw, and behold, the Sanctuary of the Tabernacle of the testimony in Heaven was opened.
Rev 15:6 And the seven Angels came out of the Sanctuary, having the seven plagues,
        clothed in pure and splendid linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
Rev 15:7 And one of the four living beings gave to the seven Angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God,
        that living forever and ever.
Rev 15:8 And the Sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power;
        and no one was able to enter into the Sanctuary, until the seven plagues of the seven Angels were finished.
Rev 16:1
        And I heard a great voice out of the Sanctuary, saying to the seven Angels,
        Go, and pour out <the vials of the wrath of God upon the Earth>.
Rev 16:2
        And <the first> went, and poured out his vial on the Earth;
        and there came an evil and <grievous sore upon the men who having the mark of the beast>, and [upon] them <who worshipping his image>.
Rev 16:3
        And the <second Angel> poured out his vial into the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man]: and every living soul died in the sea.
Rev 16:4
        And the <third Angel> poured out his vial into the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Rev 16:5 And I heard the Angel of the waters saying, Righteous are Thou, LORD, who being [there], and who was, and shall be happening, because Thou have judged thus.
Rev 16:6 For they have shed the blood of Saints and prophets, and Thou have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Rev 16:7 And I heard another from the Altar saying, Yes, LORD God Almighty, true and righteous [are] Thy Judgments.
Rev 16:8
        And the <fourth Angel> poured out his vial upon the sun; and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who has power over these plagues: and they repented not to give Him glory.
Rev 16:10
        And the <fifth Angel> poured out his vial upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Rev 16:11 and blasphemed the God of Heaven, because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their works.
Rev 16:12
        And the <sixth Angel> poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water of it was dried up, that the way of the kings of [the] rising sun [side] might be prepared.
Rev 16:13 And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of demons, doing signs, which go forth to the kings of the Earth, and of the whole World, to gather them to the war of that great day of God Almighty.
Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief.
        Blessed [is] he who watching and keeping his garments, lest he may walk naked, and they see his indecency!
Rev 16:16 And He gathered them into a place being called in Hebrew, <Armageddon>.
Rev 16:17
        And the <seventh Angel> poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the Sanctuary of Heaven, from the throne, saying, It has come to pass.
Rev 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there came a great earthquake,
        such as has not came since men were upon the Earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.
Rev 16:19 And the great city became [divided] into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell:
        and great Babylon was remembered before God,
        to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
Rev 16:20 And every isle fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Rev 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of Heaven, about the weight of a talent:
        and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague of it is exceedingly great.

Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven Angels,
         who having the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me,
        Come here, I shall show Thee the judgment of the <great whore> that sits upon <many waters>;
Rev 17:2 with whom the kings of the Earth have committed fornication, and those who dwelling of the Earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication.
Rev 17:3 And he carried me away in [the] spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a <woman sit upon a scarlet beast>, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was having been arrayed in <purple> and <scarlet> and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having a <golden cup> in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.
Rev 17:5 And on <her forehead> [was] a name has been written, Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of whores, and abominations of the Earth.
Rev 17:6 And I saw <the woman drunken with the blood of the Saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus>: and I having seen her, I marvelled with great marvel.
Rev 17:7 And the Angel said to me, Why did Thou marvel? I shall tell Thee <the mystery of the woman, and of the beast> that carries her, which has the <seven heads and ten horns>.
Rev 17:8 The beast that Thou saw, was, and is not; and is about to ascend out of the <Abyss>, and go into <perdition>: and they shall marvel those who dwelling upon the Earth,
        whose names has not been written in the Book of Life from [the] foundation of [the] World,
        when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and although is.
Rev 17:9 Here [is] the mind which having wisdom. The <seven heads> are <seven mountains>, on which the woman sits.
Rev 17:10 And there are <seven kings>: five are fallen, and one is, [and] the other came not yet; and when should come, he must remain a little.
Rev 17:11 And <the beast> that was, and is not, even he <is [the] eighth, and is of the seven>, and goes into <perdition>.
Rev 17:12 And the <ten horns> which Thou saw are <ten kings>, <who have no yet received a kingdom>; but receive authority as <kings> one hour <with the beast>.
Rev 17:13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Rev 17:14 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 elects, and faithful.
Rev 17:15 And he says to me, The <waters> which Thou saw, where the whore sits, <are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues>.
Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which Thou saw upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire.
Rev 17:17 For God gave to their hearts to fulfil His mind, and to make one mind, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the sayings of God should be finished.
Rev 17:18 And the woman whom Thou saw is the great city, having a kingdom over the kings of the Earth.

Rev 18:1 And after these I saw another Angel coming down from the Heaven, having great authority; and the Earth was lightened with His glory.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a great voice, saying,
        <Babylon the great fell>, it fell and became a habitation of demons, and the prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3 Because of the wine of the wrath of her fornication which all the nations have drunk,
        and the kings of the Earth have committed fornication with her,
        and the merchants of the Earth have become rich through the power of her luxuries.
Rev 18:4
        And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying,
        Come out of her, My people, that ye may be not partakers of her sins, and that ye may receive not of her plagues.
Rev 18:5 For her sins reached to the Heaven, and God remembered her crimes.
Rev 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double ye to her double,
        according to her works: in the cup which she has filled, fill to her double.
Rev 18:7 How much she has glorified herself, and lived luxury,
        so much torment and sorrow give her: for she says in her heart,
        I sit a queen, and am no widow, and may see no sorrow.
Rev 18:8 Therefore her plagues shall come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine;
        and she shall be burned with fire: for strong [is] the LORD GOD who judges her.

Rev 18:9 And the kings of the Earth, who have committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her,
        shall weep for her, and lament for her, when they may see the smoke of her burning,
Rev 18:10 standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying,
        Woe, woe, the <great city Babylon>, the mighty city! For in one hour is Thy judgment come.
Rev 18:11
        And the merchants of the Earth weep and mourn over her; for no one buys their merchandise any more.
Rev 18:12 The <merchandise> of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and of pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and <scarlet>,
        and all thyine wood, and all vessels of ivory, and all vessels of most precious wood,
        and of bronze, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13 and cinnamon, and incenses, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour,
        and wheat, and [tame] animals, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and <bodies and souls of men>.
Rev 18:14 And the fruits of the lust of Thy soul departed from Thee,
         and all the dainty and the splendid [things] departed from Thee,
        and Thou should find them no more at all.
Rev 18:15 The merchants of these [things] who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off, for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
Rev 18:16 and saying,
        Woe, woe, the great city, that [was] clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls!
Rev 18:17
        For in one hour so great riches was made desolate.
        And every steersman, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Rev 18:18 and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [is] like the great city?
Rev 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying,
        Woe, woe, the great city, in which were made rich all that having ships in the sea:
        by reason of her opulence! For in one hour she was made desolate.
Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her [Thou] Heaven, and [ye] Holy apostles and prophets; for God has judge your judgment on her.
Rev 18:21 And one mighty Angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea,
        saying, Thus with violence shall the great city Babylon be thrown down, and may not be found, no more.
Rev 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard in Thee; no more,
        and no artificer, of whatever craft he [be], may not be found in Thee; no more,
        and the sound of a millstone may not be heard in Thee; no more.
Rev 18:23 And the light of a lamp may not shine in Thee; no more,
        and the <voice of the Bridegroom> and of the bride may not be heard in Thee; no more,
        for Thy merchants were the greatest [men] of the Earth;
        for by Thy sorcery were deceived all nations.
Rev 18:24 And in her was found [the] blood of prophets, and of Saints, and of all that were slain upon the Earth.
Rev 19:1
        And after these I heard a great voice of a great multitude in Heaven, saying,
        HalleluJaH:
        the Salvation, and the glory, and the honour, and the power, to the LORD our God:
Rev 19:2 for true and righteous [are] His Judgments:
        for <He has judged the great whore, who corrupted the Earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of His servants at her hand>.
Rev 19:3 And a second [time] they have said,
        HalleluJaH!
        And her smoke rose up forever and ever.
Rev 19:4 And the twenty four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped GOD who sitting upon the throne, saying,
        Amen; HalleluJaH!
Rev 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying,
        Praise our God, all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both the small and great.
Rev 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying,
        HalleluJaH:
        for the LORD God Almighty reigns.
Rev 19:7
        Let us be glad and rejoice, and give the glory to Him: for the <Marriage of the Lamb> is Come, and His wife prepared herself.
Rev 19:8 And it was given to her that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and splendid: for the fine linen is the righteousness of Saints.
Rev 19:9 And he says to me, Write, <Blessed [are] they who are called to the Marriage supper of the Lamb>!
        And he says to me, These are the true words of God.
Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.
        And he says to me, See [Thou do it] not: I am Thy fellow-servant, and of Thy brethren that having the testimony of Jesus:
        worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Rev 19:11 And I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and He who sitting upon him being called Faithful and True,
        and in righteousness He judges and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on His head [were] many diadems; and He having a name has been written, that no one have known, except He Himself.
Rev 19:13 And He [was] clothed with a garment dipped in blood: and His name is called, The Word of GOD.
Rev 19:14 And the armies, those in the Heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He may smite the nations: and He shall shepherd them with a <rod of iron>:
        and He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of God Almighty.
Rev 19:16 And He has on [His] vesture and on His thigh a name has been written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Rev 19:17 And I saw one Angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a great voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the middle of Heaven,
        Come, and assemble yourselves to the supper of the great God;
Rev 19:18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of tribunes, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses,
        and of them that sit upon them, and the flesh of all, both free and bondmen, small and great.
Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the Earth, and their armies,
        assembled to make war with Him that sat upon the horse, and with His army.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the <false prophet> that wrought the signs before him,
        with which he deceived them that having received the <mark of the beast>, and them that worshipping his image.
        These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were killed with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse,
        which proceeds out of His mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Rev 20:1
        And I saw an Angel coming down from the Heaven, having the key of the Abyss and a great chain on his hand.
Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that ancient serpent, which is the devil, and <Satan, and bound him a thousand years>.
Rev 20:3 And cast him into the Abyss, and shut him [up], and set a seal upon him,
        that he should deceived the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished;
        and after these he must be loosed a little time.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them:
        and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the Word of GOD,
        and <who had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither received [his] mark on the forehead>,
        <and on the hand of them>; and they lived and reigned with Christ a <thousand years>.
Rev 20:5 (But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years should be finished). This [is] the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and Holy [is] he who having part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power,
        but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years!
Rev 20:7 And when the <thousand years> should be finished, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,
Rev 20:8 and shall go out to deceive the nations which [are] in the four corners of the Earth,
        Gog and Magog, to gather them to war: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the Earth, and surrounded the camp of the Saints,
        and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of Heaven, and devoured them.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceiving them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,
        where the beast and the false prophet [were], and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Rev 20:11
        And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat upon it,
        from whose face the Earth and the Heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God; and the books were opened.
        And an another Book was opened, which is the [Book] of Life:
        and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and Death and Hades delivered up the dead which were in them:
        and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And if anyone was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a <New Heaven> and a <New Earth>:
        for the first Heaven and the first Earth passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I, John saw the Holy City, <New Jerusalem>,
        descending from God out of Heaven,
        prepared as a bride adorned for her Husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God [is] with men,
        and He shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be His peoples,
        and God Himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.
Rev 21:4 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 no more pain: for the first things went away.
Rev 21:5 And He who sitting upon the throne said,
        Behold, I make all [things] new.
        And He says to me,
        Write: for these words are Faithful and True.
Rev 21:6 And He said to me,
        It has come to pass. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and End.
        I shall give to him that is thirsty of the Fountain of the Water of Life freely.
Rev 21:7 He who overcoming shall inherit all [things]; and I shall be his God, and he shall be My son.
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelievers, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all [who are] false,
        have their part in the lake which burning with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Rev 21:9 And there came to me one of the seven Angels,
        who having the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying,
        Come here, I shall show Thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in [the] spirit to a great and high mountain,
        and showed me the great city, the Holy Jerusalem,
        descending out of Heaven from God,
Rev 21:11 having the glory of God: and her light [was] like to a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Rev 21:12 and having a wall great and high, having twelve Gates,
        and at the gates twelve Angels,
        and names written on them, which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
Rev 21:13 On the east three gates; on [the] north three gates; on [the] south three gates; and on [the] west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city having twelve Foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And he who speaking with me, had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
Rev 21:16 And the city lies square, and the length is as large as the breadth:
        and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia.
        The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Rev 21:17 And he measured the wall of it a hundred forty four cubits,
        [according to] the measure of a man, which is, of the Angel.
Rev 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like clean glass.
Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city having been adorned with every precious stone;
          the first foundation [was] jasper;
          the second, sapphire;
          the third, chalcedony;
          the fourth, emerald;
Rev 21:20 the fifth, sardonyx;
          the sixth, sardius;
          the seventh, chrysolite;
          the eighth, beryl;
          the ninth, topaz;
          the tenth, chrysoprase;
          the eleventh, jacinth;
          the twelfth, amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve Gates [were] twelve Pearls;
        respectively each one of the gates was of one pearl;
        and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
Rev 21:22 And I saw no Sanctuary in her: for the LORD God Almighty and the Lamb are the Sanctuary.
Rev 21:23
        And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, that should shine in it:
        for the glory of God enlightened it, and the Lamb [is] the Lamp of it.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them who are being saved shall walk in the Light of it:
        and the kings of the Earth bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it should not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And may not enter into it anything that defiles,
        and doing an abomination, and a lie;
        but they who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Rev 22:1
        And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life,
        splendid as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of GOD and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2 In the middle of the street of it, and on each side of the river, [was there the] Tree of Life,
        which bore twelve fruits, [and] yielded every month one of her fruit:
        and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more a curse:
        but the throne of GOD and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him.
Rev 22:4 And they shall see His face; and His name [shall be] in their foreheads.
Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they not need a lamp and sun light;
        for the LORD GOD gives them Light: and they shall reign forever and ever.
Rev 22:6 And he said to me, These sayings [are] Faithful and True.
        And the LORD GOD of the Holy prophets sent His Angel;
        to show to His servants things which must come to pass quickly.
Rev 22:7
        Behold, I come quickly:
        blessed [is] he who keeping the sayings of the prophecy of this Book!

Rev 22:8 And I, John who seeing these [things], and hearing when I heard and saw,
        I fell down to worship before the feet of the Angel who showing me these [things].
Rev 22:9 And he says to me, See [Thou do it] not: for I am Thy fellow-servant, and of Thy brethren the prophets,
        and of them who keeping the sayings of this Book: worship God.
Rev 22:10 And he says to me, Thou should not Seal the sayings of the prophecy of this Book: for the time is near.
Rev 22:11
            He who being unjust, let him be unjust still:
        and he who being filthy, let him be filthy still:
        and he who being righteous, let him be righteous still:
        and he who being Holy, let him be Holy still.
Rev 22:12
        And behold, I come quickly: and My reward [is] with Me, to give to every man according as his work shall be.
Rev 22:13 I AM the Alpha and the Omega, [the] Beginning and End, the First and the Last.
Rev 22:14 Blessed [are] they that doing His Commandments, that the right shall be theirs to the Tree of Life,
        and may enter in through the gates into the city!
Rev 22:15 But outside [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and whoever loving and making a lie.
Rev 22:16 I, Jesus have sent My Angel to testify to you these [things] on the Churches.
        I AM the Root and the Offspring of David, [and] the splendid and morning-star.
Rev 22:17
        And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
        And let him that hears, say, Come.
        And let him that is thirsty, Come:
        And he who willing, let him take the Water of Life freely.
Rev 22:18
        For I testify to all that hears the words of the prophecy of this Book, if anyone shall add to these [things],
        God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this Book.
Rev 22:19 And if anyone may 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.
Rev 22:20 He who testifying these [things] says,
        Yes, I come quickly: Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.
Rev 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen!
